Chapter 129 My Mother is Dead
Aunt Liu asked Shen Ruolan with a worried look on her face: "Master, the rain keeps on falling. How are we going to prepare a full moon banquet for the young masters?"
After a month of recuperation, Shen Ruolan had almost recovered. After listening to Aunt Liu's words, she opened the door and looked at the heavy rain outside, pondered for a while, and said to Aunt Liu: "The weather is not good, let's wait until the rain stops."
Aunt Liu asked her master, "What if someone comes here in the heavy rain?"
Shen Ruolan retracted her gaze and said to Aunt Liu, "Apart from General Qin, the only people who will come to the full moon banquet are the villagers of this village. Go and tell everyone that we can have a full moon banquet when the weather is good. As for General Qin, I will entertain him myself when he comes."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she looked at the heavy rain outside, and her intuition told her that Qin Zhen would not come either.
"Yes, master." After Liu Gu finished speaking, she called Shi Gu to go door to door to notify people.
Although Shen Ruolan did not invite the villagers to a full-month banquet, she still cooked for herself a delicious lunch on the children's full-month day.
During the confinement period, she ate stewed chicken and eggs every day, and occasionally some fish. Today, she made herself fried chicken, steamed smoked fish, stir-fried vegetable sprouts, and egg soup.
Because of the rain, the cabbages planted by Ji Ning grew very well. Shen Ruolan couldn't help but picked a handful and fried it into a dish.
For today's fried chicken, she was a bit extravagant and used the dried chilies she had found from the other side of the river. She grabbed a handful, cut off the seeds, and then chopped the shells into small pieces to use for the fried chicken.
She saved the pepper seeds and planned to plant them next spring.
Just when Shen Ruolan was ready to sit down for dinner, an uninvited guest suddenly flew into her yard. After standing still, the visitor sniffed and said, "Hmm, it smells good!"
After saying that, he walked towards the food in the main hall without waiting for Shen Ruolan and the others to invite him. Then he sat down on a wooden chair, looked at the food and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it looks delicious, so it should be delicious too."
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks beside him, picked up the food and prepared to eat. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly pressed down the chopsticks hard, making it impossible for him to eat even if he wanted to.
Shen Ruolan looked at the unexpected guest and asked him expressionlessly, "Sir, not only did you come uninvited, but you also stole the host's food. Do you think this is appropriate?"
After Shen Qi heard what Shen Ruolan said, he looked up at her and glared at her, "Girl, do you understand respecting the old and loving the young? I'm hungry, what's wrong with eating your meal?"
Shen Ruolan still had a dark face and said, "Not bad, this is my food, no one can eat it without my consent."
Although she cooked a lot of food, she just couldn't stand people who were impolite and rushed to grab the food.
After Shen Qi heard what Shen Ruolan said, he deliberately provoked her and said, "What if I have to eat today's meal?"
Shen Ruolan said: "You have two choices, one is to give money, the other is..."
When Shen Ruolan said this, she paused deliberately. While Shen Qi was looking at her with curiosity, she quickly took the silver needle and stabbed it into his vital point. Fearing that his powerful martial arts skills would break the acupuncture points, she gave him two more injections.
Shen Qi originally came for Shen Ruolan's silver needles. After being stabbed by her, he looked at her in shock and asked, "You actually know how to use the three soul-fixing needles?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan and asked seriously, "Who are you? How do you know the unique acupuncture techniques of my Shen family?"
Shen Qi's words surprised Shen Ruolan. She didn't expect that the Three Soul-Clearing Needles was also the Shen family's unique acupuncture method at that time. Although the names were one word different, the effects were basically the same when they sounded literally.
However, although Shen Ruolan was shocked, she did not show it on her face. She looked at Shen Qi and said, "I don't know what the three soul-fixing needles you are talking about are. I only know that I used the three soul-clearing needles."
After she finished speaking, she learned that the white-haired old man in front of her was from the Shen family. She looked at him and continued, "I have no grudge against you and I don't want to hurt you. If you know what's good for you, please leave on your own. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she shouted to Aunt Liu outside the door: "Aunt Liu, call two people over and carry this old man out."
"Yes, Master." After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she quickly called over two servants and said, "You two, quickly carry this old man out."
"Yes," the two Si said, and stepped forward to lift Shen Qi. However, the moment they touched Shen Qi, Shen Qi jumped away, and then took advantage of Shen Ruolan's unpreparedness, grabbed her and flew into the heavy rain.
Shen Ruolan was frightened when she saw herself being carried by someone. She held onto the old man tightly with both hands, looked up at him and asked, "Hey, old man, what are you doing?"
Shen Qi looked at the frightened little girl. He reached out to wipe the water off her face and said softly, "Girl, don't be afraid. I just want to see what you look like."
After he finished speaking, he took out something from his arms, sprinkled it on Shen Ruolan's face, and then wiped it with the rain. A face as white as jade appeared in front of him.
When Shen Qi saw Shen Ruolan's face, which was exactly the same as his wife's when she was young, he burst into tears. He hugged Shen Ruolan tightly and cried, "Ting'er, I finally found you."
"Ting'er, Daddy has been looking for you for so many years, why don't you come home?"
Shen Qi cried as he descended from the air holding Shen Ruolan.
After Shen Ruolan landed, she felt much more at ease. The old man in front of her looked at her crying and made her frown. She took a few steps back and said to him, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I have parents."
After Shen Qi heard what Shen Ruolan said, he looked at her carefully and said, "That's right, Ting'er is already 34 years old this year, it's impossible for her to be as young as you."
After saying that, he held Shen Ruolan's hand tightly and asked, "Girl, how old are you? What's your mother's name?"
Shen Ruolan broke free from his hand, ran to the eaves and said to him: "I am seventeen now. My mother is a maid in a wealthy family. Her name is Shen Ting'er."
After Shen Qi heard what Shen Ruolan said, he excitedly grabbed Shen Ruolan's hand and said, "Come on, take me to see your mother."
Shen Ruolan struggled and said, "My mother is dead."
When Shen Ruolan said that her mother was dead, Shen Qi's head suddenly made a loud "buzzing" sound. All his beliefs collapsed in an instant, and he suddenly fainted.
When Shen Ruolan saw the old man fainted, she quickly squatted down and slapped his face and shouted, "Hey, wake up, hey..."
