Chapter 121 You Are Our God
Chapter 121 You Are Our God
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were almost crying.
And you, our Mr. Jiang, you are our real God!
Aji and Agui helped move all the things onto the carriage, and then they got into the carriage with the help of Sanni and Mei'er.
As soon as they got on the carriage, several people became exhausted and leaned against it in a lopsided manner.
"Mom, why did you come back so late today? We were scared to death." Mei'er sat next to Duan Minmin and asked her worriedly.
"It's nothing, we just encountered two plague gods. Fortunately, we have successfully sent them away." Duan Minmin leaned against the carriage and answered weakly. She didn't have the energy to explain now.
"Mei'er, did you bring food and water?" Zheng Yuan asked in a hoarse voice.
Hearing this, the other people who had closed their eyes opened their eyes and stared at Mei'er with burning eyes.
Mei'er was frightened by their looks. Why were their eyes so similar to the expressions of those vicious dogs in the village when they saw bones?
But he really didn't have anything on him, so he could only say awkwardly: "I came out in a hurry, so I didn't bring anything."
Agui poked his head in from outside the carriage and said, "Aunt, there are two dry buns in the secret compartment under the seat. I prepared them just in case. If you don't mind, you can take them out and eat them first. Don't worry, we will be home in about an hour."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
I'm almost starving to death, what are you complaining about?
The two of them almost rolled under the seat, hurriedly opened the secret compartment under the seat, and took out two dry and hard buns.
But at this time, it was already delicious in their eyes. The five mothers broke the steamed buns into pieces and stuffed them into the food. There was no water, and several of them choked and rolled their eyes.
I didn’t think these dry steamed buns were so delicious on normal days, but now I want to have ten or eight more, and I also want to thank Agui for contributing his dry food.
After eating the steamed buns, my stomach finally felt better, but my mouth was still dry, even worse than before.
No one knew how many days Agui had kept the dry buns, but they were so dry that they almost sucked all the moisture out of their mouths.
But there was nothing they could do now, so they should go home as soon as possible. Several of them leaned against the carriage with their eyes closed, swallowing saliva frantically to relieve their thirst.
Fortunately it was a horse carriage. If it was an ox cart, I don’t know how long it would take to get home.
Zheng Yuan paused for a moment, then opened her eyes and looked around the carriage. Although it looked ordinary from the outside, it was quite spacious inside. Even with seven of them in it, it didn't feel crowded at all.
This is just the carriage that Agui uses to deliver food for a day. I wonder what the carriages used by dignitaries look like. I'm afraid it's covered with soft blankets and a small table with snacks and tea on it.
It runs fast and steady, and is much more comfortable than the old ox cart. Zheng Yuan imagined in his mind how he would decorate his own vehicle.
"Amin, when we make money, let's buy a carriage, how about that?" Zheng Yuan poked Duan Minmin.
Duan Minmin closed her eyes and hummed, not wanting to talk. Seeing that she ignored him, Zheng Yuan leaned on her and fell asleep.
The carriage was moving very fast indeed, and when the two were about to fall asleep, they finally arrived at the entrance of the village.
A few of them, together with Agui, drove the carriage to Zhao Youwang's house.
Zhao Youwang was shocked to see how dishevelled and listless they all looked. They looked like they had just returned from fleeing from somewhere.
"Chen family, Zhao family, where have you been? Why are you in such a mess?"
Zheng Yuan forced a smile and said, "Something happened, so I stayed in the city to deal with it."
"What happened? It's like this. I waited until 3 p.m. this afternoon but you didn't come back. I waited another hour, and the villagers behind me were really pushing me, so I had no choice but to drive the ox cart and bring them back first."
Zhao Youwang's wife heard the noise and followed him out. She nudged Zhao Youwang with her hand and said, "Why are you talking so much? Can't you see that the two girls are very tired? Girls, you should go home and have a rest."
"Yes, yes, yes. Look how talkative I am. You should go home quickly. I think the children are waiting anxiously." Zhao Youwang scratched his head embarrassedly.
When I came out of Zhao Youwang's house, it was already completely dark. The village was pitch black except for the direction of Zheng Yuan's house, where there was still a light of fire.
Looking at the flickering fire in the yard, the few of them suddenly gained strength and strode home in the dark.
When the three children who were left behind pushed open the door and saw that it was them, they surrounded them worriedly. Aji and Agui went forward to report the situation to Mr. Jiang.
"Let's talk about it later. Let mother and the others eat first." Mei'er knew that everyone was tired and thirsty, so she stopped those who were about to ask questions.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin patted Mei'er's hands gratefully. Mei'er, you are really our god!
"I've left the food on the stove. It's still warm. Come in and eat."
After saying this, Xu Hui Niang ran into the kitchen and lit a bundle of torches in advance to provide light for them.
The five of them sat down on the stools, picked up their bowls and started to eat voraciously.
Normally, Zheng Yuan felt that Xu Hui Niang had no talent for cooking, and the food she made was not very delicious. But today, he found it particularly delicious.
Several people ate several large bowls of rice each, finishing up most of the remaining rice in the steamer. They also drank several bowls of cold water before they felt alive again.
After eating, I felt sleepy and my whole body started to ache.
It would take a long time to talk about what happened today, so Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin simply stopped talking about it. They took the girls back there, soaked their feet in hot water, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, it was already noon and the two of them had not yet gotten up.
All the children were up and were sitting around Dashu and Erhe in Zheng Yuan's yard, listening to them talk about what happened yesterday.
When Dashu and Erhe talked about what happened yesterday, they were spitting all over the place, and they wanted to make Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin look like gods descended from heaven.
When the children heard that the two mothers were so powerful, they couldn't help but admire them. When they heard about the shameless Fu San and Li Huaiyuan, they were very angry and wanted to find them and beat them up again. When they heard that they put Li Huaiyuan in a sack and beat him up, they felt very relieved.
Young Master Jiang, along with Ah Gui and Ah Ji, were also listening with great interest. These two aunts were truly extraordinary. Most common people would be trembling with fear when they went to court, but these two women could actually defend themselves with reason and evidence, and in the end they were even bold enough to put a sack on the man and beat him up.
Interesting, really interesting.
After that, Taoer also prepared the meal.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were still asleep.
The children were a little worried and followed them over there. The girls went in to see what was going on.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin opened their eyes drowsily and saw a bunch of heads surrounding them, which scared them so much that they woke up from their doze.
"Mom, Auntie, are you awake?" Sanni shouted happily when she saw them open their eyes.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin covered their chests. They were awake, but were almost scared away by you again.
The two struggled to get up, yawned and walked out of the room. When they saw Dashu, Erhe and Mr. Jiang waiting in the yard, they awkwardly put down their hands that were picking their eye boogers.
Taoer made a sumptuous breakfast, almost making out everything she learned from Zheng Yuan.
The two of them rubbed their sore calves and looked at the three children who looked full of energy. They couldn't help but sigh that it's good to be young.
After dinner, Agui and Aji were going back to town.
It was too late yesterday, so Agui slept here. Today, Aji will also go to the town with him to see if Mr. Jiang’s letter has been delivered.
