Ying Qingci felt a little helpless. Even if Zhang Maosheng was allowed to eat, it was impossible for him to stay, and his eyes fell back to the thatched hut.
The Ying family has now returned and is sitting at the table in the main room, seemingly discussing things.
When Ying Qingci walked in, she happened to hear Huang Xuecao and the others talking about digging yams today.
"Just in time, dear, you're here. Our family dug nearly a thousand kilograms of yams today. Your grandpa is going to go to the village chief's house, borrow their shuttle bus, and take them to the Huichun Hall together."
"After digging out the yams, we need to prevent them from spoiling. We really need to send them to the Huichun Hall as soon as possible to avoid anything going wrong."
"Grandpa is right. If we rely on ourselves, it is impossible to transport those yams in the yard to Huichun Hall. Using a car is indeed a better way."
"Okay, then it's settled."
Geng Hanchu was in the room next door. The sound insulation effect here was very poor. It could be said that there was no sound insulation at all, so he took a general look at what Ying's family members said.
When the Ying family arrived in Qingyang Village for the first time, their foundation was really weak. From what they said just now, Geng Hanchu could vaguely guess that it should be something dug in the mountain. After all, before the mountain had no owner, everyone in the village could go up the mountain and find it. Everything belongs to you.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ying Qingci walked in from outside, holding a plate with a bowl of soup on it.
She walked up to Geng Hanchu and said, "Seeing that you have difficulty moving, I came here for you. This is hare soup that has just been cooked. Please drink more."
"Okay, thank you."
Ying Qingci thought for a moment and then looked at him: "Master, do you know anyone in Nanning Mansion? Do you need me to go find Magistrate Wang?"
Hearing this, Geng Hanchu raised his eyes, and a pair of deep eyes fell on her.
A smile flashed in her eyes, and it disappeared in a flash. She was indeed smart. When she thought about giving her the jade card, she had doubts in her heart.
"There is no need to be so alienated. I am a few years older than you. Although I am the eldest son, I am ranked third among my uncles. You can call me third brother."
At the first meeting, for some reason, he blurted out his name. Ying Qingci was not a simple woman, and he had some suspicions in his mind.
The relationship in their family is complicated, but the relationship is relatively harmonious, and the relationship with the brothers and sisters is also acceptable.
Ying Qingci didn't expect that he would suddenly mention this, and was slightly startled, "Okay, third brother."
It was obviously a very common title, but after Ying Qingci called it out, Geng Hanchu clearly felt a thin ripple in his heart.
"Why do you think I have something to do with County Magistrate Wang?"
Geng Hanchu sounded with a magnetic voice and glanced at Ying Qingci.
"The jade token you gave me." Ying Qingci said simply.
"Oh, what a smart little girl."
Geng Hanchu looked at her with a smile, and then changed the subject, "I don't want to tell him specifically that I have my own plan."
"good."
Ying Qingci's answer was without hesitation, but Geng Hanchu was stunned for a moment. After all, when most people hear about this incident, their first reaction is to ask why, but this girl didn’t ask anything.
Then, he lowered his head and chuckled, forgetting that this girl was very shrewd.
Naturally, Ying Qingci would not ask too much about the other party's personal matters, nor did she want to ask too much. Sometimes, knowing too much was a troublesome thing.
Geng Hanchu focused his attention on the soup in front of him. He sniffed his nose lightly, and a faint fragrance filled his nostrils.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the soup bowl in front of him. Because the movement was too large, he accidentally touched the wound on his back, and he frowned.
Not only that, there was also a stab wound on his right hand, which had not yet recovered, so it would be quite troublesome to move.
Upon seeing this, Ying Qingci took a step forward and picked up the bowl of soup on the tray.
"You're still injured. Sit down and I'll feed you."
Ying Qingci's tone was calm and without any disturbance. In her eyes, Geng Hanchu was just a patient.
"Okay." Geng Hanchu did not refuse.
Ying Qingci lowered her eyes and carefully stirred the spoon in the bowl. After it cooled down, she took a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.
When the broth entered the mouth, Geng Hanchu thought it was just an ordinary soup, but after he actually drank it, Geng Hanchu was surprised.
This soup doesn't feel greasy at all when you drink it in your mouth. It even has a little sweetness and... a hint of medicinal taste, like... Ganoderma lucidum?
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Is there Ganoderma lucidum in this?"
"I went up the mountain to collect Ganoderma lucidum before, which is perfect for making soup to replenish energy and nourish the body."
Ying Qingci responded lightly, and the spoon fell on the bowl, making a tinkling sound.
This was something Geng Hanchu didn't expect. After all, he had observed that the place where the Ying family lived was an ordinary thatched house.
The conditions for coming to their home must be difficult.
I dug up Ganoderma lucidum, but instead of selling it, I made soup? To be honest, this was the first time such a strange emotion had appeared in his heart since he was so old.
Ying Qingci didn't know what he was thinking. After feeding the soup, she put away her things and said, "You have a good rest first. I will buy you some herbs when I go to town tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you."
After saying that, Ying Qingci left directly.
The Ying family arranged him in the newly built thatched house, and the others then squeezed into another room. After the family's new house was built in the past period, they no longer had to worry about these things.
After returning to the room, Ying Qingci took out the unfinished painting book, completed the second half, and bound it into a book. When he goes to town tomorrow, he can go to the bookstore and ask them. Do you want to accept this kind of script?
After putting away her things, she looked up casually and saw that Huang Xuecao and the others had fallen asleep. Ying Qinghao's small body was leaning on the bed, exposing his white belly and pouting. She stepped forward and covered him with a small thin blanket.
Turn off the lights and prepare to rest.
…
Nightfall
The wind rustled the leaves, and Geng Hanchu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow silently entered the courtyard of the Ying family and appeared in Geng Hanchu's room.
"Master, my subordinate is late, please punish me."
Geng Hanchu stood up slowly and sat in front of the window. He felt much less weak than before.
"How's it going over there?"
After learning about his disappearance, the people behind the scenes must take action.
"Master expected it to be good, they did take action, but...can we send back the news that Master is safe?"
"No need, you go and find out how many people are involved in this matter first."
"yes."
"By the way, bring me some banknotes."
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed secret guards, but they quickly recovered. They would just obey their master's words.
