Chapter 86 Seeking Peace and Quiet
Chapter 86 Seeking Peace and Quiet
Wenwen was originally just a bystander, but she never expected to get caught up in her own family's gossip.
Her fiery temper was instantly ignited.
She jumped up, ready to fight, but before she could even steady herself, Madam Ren grabbed her and whispered, "Wen'er, listen to your grandfather."
As the head of the family, Wen Yuanqian's words carried weight: "Everyone, we are all guilty, why do we need to act like this?"
Wen Qilin also said in a deep voice, "My Wen family members have all acted uprightly and honestly, and have no shame before heaven and earth. You don't need to be so sarcastic."
Despite the pain, Wen Qiyuan joined in, saying, "The Wen family is giving up the stables. We're not being driven out, nor are we in defeat. We just want some peace and quiet."
The yamen runners and soldiers watching from a distance observed the commotion with indifference, offering no further intervention or reprimand.
After the Wen family finished speaking, they ignored them and called to their family members. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the family members helped each other out of the stable and walked towards the base of the courtyard wall.
At the base of the wall, at the base of the wall, there are no tiles above, and you can see the sky when you look up.
I was initially glad that I had a roof over my head, but now, well, the ground is my bed and the sky is my blanket, just like before.
The women of the Wen family discussed the matter and worked together, quickly clearing out a slightly flat area.
With the help of the men, the wooden planks were unloaded from the cart and pieced together to form a large communal sleeping area.
The mats, blankets, and clothes were laid out, just enough for a group of children to lie down.
Using the wooden crate as cover, Wenwen took out several thin blankets from her storage space and covered the little ones with them.
Of course, Wenwen was placed in the children's group and was fortunate enough to get a seat on the side.
Wenwen, who was lying on her seat, looked at the stars above her head and felt the liveliness around her.
It must be said that placing it against the wall also has its advantages.
This location is some distance from the stables and far from the front door, but it's relatively close to the back door.
If you listen closely, you can also hear the footsteps of soldiers patrolling the street.
Wenwen looked towards the stables. The arrogant people were still arrogant, and the indifferent people were as indifferent as ever. No one interfered with anyone else. She didn't care who benefited from the empty space in their house.
What she cares about now is...
Who can answer the questions in her heart?
In the darkness, Ren leaned close to her ear and posed a series of three soul-searching questions.
What if a family stays in the stable and needs to get up at night?
If someone is stepped on or bumped into, who is responsible?
If there's even the slightest disturbance, can we run out quickly?
Oh my god, the more I listen, the more something seems off; this situation could indeed happen.
But who came up with that idea first?
Wenwen stared wide-eyed. Ren Shi knew her quite well, and before she could ask, she started talking again.
"It was your grandfather and the others who came up with it. They had already thought of it when you all left, and were just waiting for the right opportunity."
"Oh."
"The cart was also placed there by your grandfather and the others."
"Ah."
So, worry less and go to bed early.
"Okay, goodnight, Mother."
"Go to sleep."
Although Yanta Town is a town that never sleeps, it is, after all, a post station, not the wilderness, so the prisoners gradually quiet down before 7 PM.
There are still a few hours before we set off the next day, so we have plenty of time.
Wenwen closed her eyes and entered the space.
Since there was plenty of time, Wenwen's first stop was always the courtyard, no matter what.
With practiced ease, he strode forward, using his shedding skills to move ahead.
She was becoming more and more comfortable using this technique. Whenever she wanted to speed things up, she would use it naturally, and she could clearly feel that she was making great progress.
Wenwen swiftly arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, stepped onto the stairs, and stood still.
In her memory, she was in such a hurry last time that she didn't notice whether the doorway had changed.
In order to avoid being struck by lightning, I was only focused on rushing inside. I vaguely remember that there was just enough room for her to get in.
Although I kept telling myself that it was good enough to get in the door.
But when she stood in front of the door, she couldn't help but feel excited for a moment.
Wenwen sighed, feeling a little uneasy. She tightened her grip, and the door creaked open.
The door slowly opened, and she continued to push until she felt resistance before stopping.
Wenwen opened her half-closed eyes, then widened them a little more, "Wow, something's changed! Haha, hahaha..."
I couldn't control myself and shouted with joy.
The door was already more than a foot wide, and it looked like you could walk in flat on your back without having to squeeze in sideways or tuck your stomach in anymore.
Oh yeah!
Wenwen entered the room in a great mood, sat down at her desk, and methodically reviewed, previewed, copied flashcards, and organized them.
It wasn't until her stomach growled that Wenwen realized how quickly time had passed.
Would someone sitting on a mountain of gold and silver let themselves go hungry? Absolutely not.
After a satisfying meal, it's time for a leisurely stroll.
Wenwen headed straight for the back mountain, and just as she approached the halfway point, the bustling scene before her shocked her.
The string floated back and forth in the air, while below, a group of horses, cows, sheep, deer, and other small animals grazed leisurely, running, chasing, and playing with each other.
How did they manage to live in such harmony?
From a distance, Xianbao greeted her master, "Master, what do you think?"
Wenwen gave a thumbs up, "Great job! Keep it up!"
Just as he finished speaking, Xianbao swooped down and found Aying perched on his shoulder.
"Master, wherever you go, we'll go too!"
Let's go, anyway, the only three people we can talk to here are the three of them.
"I'll go find a place to brew the medicine."
"Can't we stay in the courtyard? Why do we have to go up the mountain?"
Xianbao tilted her head, looking completely bewildered.
"Hehe, you'll find out why in a moment."
"Let's go."
Wenwen kept it a secret and refused to reveal it.
She used all her strength, gritting her teeth and holding on, until she was exhausted and stopped halfway up the middle of the mountain.
Wenwen had planned it out before she set off. The mountain was covered with short grass, the tallest of which was not even knee-high. There were no tall trees on the entire mountain, and it was open and unobstructed with a good view.
It is most suitable for decocting medicine.
The key point is that even after the explosion, it runs smoothly without any obstacles.
Wenwen strolled around to regain her strength while surveying the terrain.
Suddenly, a fantastic spot appeared before us.
There is a platform on the side, and in front of the platform is a naturally formed depression, which is just right for building a stove, without needing to make any further repairs.
Behind the crater is a long hillside. If anything happens, you don't need to run; just turn around and roll down it.
"God is really helping me."
Wenwen was secretly pleased. She took out the earthenware jar and the medicinal herbs and arranged them neatly.
As for earthenware pots, she doesn't know how to choose them, so she just picks one based on her gut feeling.
The medicinal herbs are alright to process.
Everything is ready; all that's left is to fire.
Preparing medicine is a technical skill and a profession that requires expertise.
Wenwen methodically added the medicinal herbs one by one, carefully controlling the heat, from high to low, and stirring attentively.
Multitasking.
Soon, the aroma of medicine slowly wafted out.
Wenwen added the shredded leaves of the Star River Grass little by little until a chilling aura rushed towards her before she stopped.
Its eyes were fixed on the earthenware pot, and its ears were fully perked up.
Sure enough, as the pill took shape, a soft "click" sound reached my ears.
