Chapter 34(1/2)

, accident

As night falls, the boundless darkness swallows the earth like a giant beast. The twinkling stars in the sky are like eyes peering down, high above, indifferent and ruthless.

In Changshan City, the firelights of people's houses lit up everywhere, either brightly or dimly... They complemented the stars in the sky, one in the sky and the other in the world.

The children's voices gradually became smaller and farther away, returning to the light, noisy, shouting, and the clatter of pots and pans came from it...

The hustle and bustle of life dispersed the tranquility of the night, adding a touch of fireworks to the empty night.

'I once heard that when you walk by the roadside at night, every light you see, no matter how small and subtle, is a place of refuge and an anchor.'

"Those who have no place to return to have no anchor point and are pitiful!"

Fang Rui sat under the eaves of the door, lying on a wicker chair, looking up at the stars in the sky, his thoughts seemed to have flown to the sky, and he felt the loneliness: 'I am experiencing all this, I am losing it all, when

One day, I will be the only one left with all my friends and relatives. I am helpless and have no place to go. How lonely will it be?'

'Perhaps, only the stars in the sky can stay with me for a long time...'

"Brother!"

"Brother Ari!"

These two calls brought Fang Rui, who was in the "Qionglouyuyu, it's too cold at high places", back to the human world.

'At least, I still have everything now. People always have to live in the present!'

Fang Rui smiled and responded, "Here he comes!"

In a small house.

"Brother Rui, wash your hands and eat!"

Mrs. Fang Xue and Mrs. Sanniang were walking back and forth, carrying food. Fang Ling and Nannan were also helping to clean the table and hold chopsticks.

Fried bean sprouts are brought out;

The stick noodle porridge was brought out;

A large pot of fragrant, white and tender steamed buns was brought out - in the afternoon, the white flour, wild vegetables and wild onions brought by Sanniang's wife, soybean sprouts, eggs and lard brought by Fang's family were all used to make these steamed buns.

They were placed together on a table that was not too big, steaming up, and the white mist intertwined with each other, turning into a huge fragrance.

"Brother Rui!"

Mrs. Fang Xue looked at Fang Rui. She originally wanted to invite the third lady and her daughter to sit down first, but she thought that Fang Rui was now the de facto head of the family and had to take care of his face, so she swallowed it back.

The third lady held her daughter in hand, thinking that she was a guest. She looked at Fang Xue and then at Fang Rui, waiting for the host to sit down first.

As for the two little girls...

Fang Ling stared at the table, his eyes straightened, and he was already swallowing;

Although Nannan is very familiar with the Fang family, she is not at home after all. She is a little timid and greedy, but not as obvious as Fang Ling. She only glances at the table from time to time.

"Mom, Ling'er, sit down! There are also third sisters and Nannan. They are not outsiders, so there is no need to be particular. They all sit down!"

Fang Rui greeted.

After sitting down, he saw that everyone was still a little restrained, so each person got a big bun.

“Everyone eat it while it’s hot!”

Fang Rui was the first to speak, and took a bite of the white, greasy and fragrant bun with beautiful patterns in front of him.

Poof!

The hot oil splashes in the mouth like beef balls, and then comes: the freshness of wild vegetables, the tenderness of bean sprouts, the fragrance of eggs... These flavors alternately dance on the taste buds, and the rich oil and water make every cell in the body cheer for joy.

Absorbs like a sponge.

It's really true: the skin is thin and the filling is thick, and your mouth is full of oil when you bite into it.

"nice taste!"

Fang Rui praised: "But be careful, it's a little hot!"

His reminder was still a little late.

Fang Ling, Nannan, and the two little girls have already bitten it first.

The oily juice exploded in their mouths, making them gasp for breath, but they were reluctant to spit it out. They kept turning it over in their mouths, waiting for it to cool down a little, and when they chewed it, the rich flavor of the wild vegetable buns spread in their mouths, making their noses so beautiful.

He unconsciously let out a satisfied hum.

Mr. Fang Xue, Sanniangzi is a little better, her index finger is moving, but she is not impatient.

Mrs. Fang Xue looked at the beautiful patterns on the buns in front of her and praised Sanniangzi: "This is what I have in my hand. It seems that you, Third Girl, made it. The pattern was beautiful when it was made, and it looks even better now when it is steamed. It's really ingenious!"

"

"Where? Sister-in-law is too flattering."

Sanniangzi took a small bite of the bun on her hand and praised: "The buns I made are actually just the same. They are not as delicious as those made by my sister-in-law. The skin is thin, the filling is thick, and the taste is rich... I still have to learn!"

The two exchanged business blows.

"Third girl, you!"

Ms. Fang Xue smiled happily: "You are really capable, handy, and good at talking! It would be great if Brother Rui can marry a wife like you in the future!"

Of course, this is just a metaphor. A daughter-in-law like the Third Lady is not really the Third Lady - if Fang Rui really wants to marry the Third Lady, she will probably be impatient!

But just to see it through... ahem, I'm afraid I will still turn a blind eye.

In this regard, no matter what era, a wife's treatment of her husband and her treatment of her son have always been two completely different standards.

Fang Xue's words were unintentional. For some reason, Sanniang's expression turned a little unnatural for a moment. Of course she knew: Fang Rui would not marry her, at most he would be a person with no status...

Sanniang Zi glanced at Fang Rui subconsciously, wondering if there was a connection between her and Fang Rui. Fang Rui happened to look over, and the two looked at each other. One looked calm and clear, while the other was slightly flustered.

Looking at each other, the third lady suddenly looked away, with two light blushes appearing on her face.

Tsk tsk, the charm of a girl and the shyness of a young woman are the most sultry, especially when paired with that mature and plump body, the perfect contrast...

Fang Rui felt like he was being shocked. He couldn't help but sit up straighter and shook his legs.

Well, your mind is innocent and your body is upright.

Mrs. Fang Xue didn't pay attention to the little actions of the two of them. As for the blush on Sanniang's face? The steamed buns that had just been freshly released from the cage were steaming hot. Just looking at Fang Ling and Nannan, the two little girls knew it, and their faces turned red after eating it.

However, having said that, these steamed buns are indeed very delicious. Fang Xue and the third wife ate them, their eyebrows curled up, and they obviously liked it very much.

In the past, Fang Rui, Fang Xue, and Fang Ling sat around a table, which was a little cold. Today, there are three wives and two daughters, and five people are sitting around the table, making it really lively.

Mr. Fang Xue and Mrs. Sanniang were gossiping about their family's quarrels. Fang Rui would interject from time to time and say some interesting words to liven up the atmosphere.

The two little girls Fang Ling and Nannan also made outstanding contributions, humming and eating like a festive symphony, which can also be regarded as the background atmosphere group.

Very happy and relaxed.

The sounds of joking and clinking bowls and chopsticks came out of the window along with the white smoke, dispelling the silence of the night. The stars in the sky above the dome blinked, as if they were looking at it with envy.

A wonderful dinner ended in such an atmosphere.



After meal.

The third wife helped Fang Xue wash the dishes and clean the house before taking her daughter home.

However, before leaving, Mrs. Fang Xue forcefully divided half of the remaining buns into half and asked Sanniang to take them back.

Sanniangzi, after my daughter left.

It was still early, under the oil lamp, Fang Xue was sorting medicinal materials, Fang Ling was helping, and Fang Rui was making medicine bags.

Naturally, he would not tell the truth about the matter of intercepting and killing Gao Yao. It was just an excuse to worry Fang Xue and Fang Ling: to hoard medicinal materials, he needed to increase sales of medicine packages and speed up payment collection, so he would continue to go to the black market in the past few days.



It's reasonable and the reason is just, Fang Xue naturally supports it.

"Mom, Ling'er, I'm going!"

When the time came, Fang Rui led Fang Xue and Fang Ling to the cellar and went out.

Of course, I put on a good show to avoid having to deal with Fang Xue, so I naturally brought a medicine bag with me and prepared to sell it on the way.

Outside, seeing Jiang Ping'an and another yamen officer in place, Fang Rui nodded from a distance and galloped straight to the black market.

Come to the black market.

Even though there is no fixed selling date of medicine every three days, there are fewer people buying medicine, but because the number of medicine packages is smaller, it does not waste too much time.

However, the main target is missing: Gao Yao.

After Fang Rui inquired about it, he found out: It turns out that after the recruitment expansion in the past few days, the patrol officers in the black market have been rotated every day.

That is to say: after being on duty yesterday, Gao wants to be on duty next day, which will be tomorrow.

"Is this a tough life for evil people? Or is it just a matter of time and effort? Whatever, let Gao Yao live one more day and wait for tomorrow..."

Fang Rui murmured as he left the black market and returned.
