Chapter 205 Sacrifice to the Stove
Several people quickly drove the carriage forward.
Because there have been carriages on the road, there are already ruts
They arrived at the next town just after afternoon.
Although there was still snow on the streets, they were much busier than the streets in the previous town.
I walked around the street and saw a few vendors on the street that sold vegetables.
Su Wanning went to take a look and saw only some cabbages and the like.
If I had known earlier, I would have stocked up more vegetables.
Even if there are other dishes, they are very few, at most just enough to stir-fry one dish.
I ate something at the stall and then went back to rest.
As they headed south, the temperature grew higher and higher, and the snow on the road gradually disappeared.
On the way, several people took another route, enjoying the scenery and drinking tea. They were having a great time, but they would occasionally think of someone.
Finally returned to Lingnan before the Kitchen God Festival.
When they returned to the village, they found it unusually deserted.
Normally, smoke would have risen from some people's kitchens in the village by noon, but she didn't smell any smoke until she reached the gate of her yard.
Could it be that something happened in the village while they were away?
Thinking of this, he quickly came to the door of the village chief Lu Qingan and knocked.
The gate to the yard was not locked. Su Wanning pushed it open and walked in. The vegetables planted in the yard had already wilted, and everything in the yard was long gone.
When I opened the door, the only furniture left inside was already covered with a thick layer of dust.
Unwilling to give up, she opened all the rooms in the yard, and found the same thing everywhere.
Walk out of the yard and push open every house in the village.
"Aunt Qinghua?"
"Uncle Jiang!"
"........"
By the time Su Wanning opened the doors of almost every household in the village, there was already no one left in the village.
Returning to her yard and walking to the backyard, looking at the backyard where almost all the crops were growing well, what else did she not understand.
I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. The rumors that crops couldn't grow in the village and that water from the river couldn't be brought into the village were all lies.
When was it? Perhaps it was when I first entered the first city in Lingnan, when the waiter said that in the horse market.
Or when he encountered robbers on the road and was rescued by Qin Shen and others.
Or was it even earlier, as early as when I first met Bai Ye?
Yue Shu heard Su Wanning's voice coming over, and thinking of her previous actions, she quickly walked out the door.
He came back after a while and saw Jinhuan was about to go up to comfort her. He reached out to stop her and shook his head at her.
After Su Wanning figured it out, she walked out of the backyard and saw the two people scrubbing.
"We don't live here anymore."
After the two of them finished what they were doing, she put all the furniture in the room into the space.
Just as they were about to leave in the carriage, Su Wanning saw a few fishermen on the beach.
After thinking about it, I got out of the car and walked over to ask.
"Uncle, have all the people in this village moved away?"
The old man put away the fishing net in his hand and looked in the direction of Su Wanning's finger, "There was no village here before. A few decades ago, a group of people came here and built houses, but no one has lived here since then.
They all moved here within the last year, but left a while ago.”
"Then do you know where they moved to?"
The old man shook his head. "I don't know. They are all from other places."
After asking, Su Wanning got on the carriage and came to the yard that Bai Ye gave her.
So did you know long ago that no one would live in the village, so that's why you gave her compensation?
After entering, several people began to clean.
It was not until dark that the three bedrooms were cleaned out.
Anyway, they won't have anything else to do in the future, so they'll have plenty of time to clean.
They were all tired after working for a long time and were ready to go to bed early.
Except Su Wanning.
She sat in the pavilion by the river, listening to the sound of the water with a bottle of wine in her hand.
Why did she come back from the capital? If she didn't come back, would she never know that it was a scam from beginning to end?
Looking at the moonlight reflected in the water, tears couldn't stop flowing.
She wanted to go home.
If I jump directly from here, can I go back?
In the end, she still held it in. She had finally survived until now, and she didn't dare to die.
I was about to get another pot of wine, but just as I stood up, I sat down again because I felt dizzy.
I simply leaned against the long seat in the pavilion.
Take out a pillow and a blanket and cover yourself with it.
He took out a few bottles of cocktails, drank a few more, and then lay down and fell asleep.
Just as Su Wanning fell asleep, a man jumped down from the corridor and walked to Su Wanning's side.
He took out a silver needle and pierced Su Wanning's body.
After everything was done, he picked up an unopened bottle of cocktail on the ground.
He bumped Su Wanning's arm and said, "This is the money for the acupuncture."
Su Wanning, who was sleeping soundly, frowned and snorted when she was poked.
Just as I was about to open the cocktail like Su Wanning had just done, I heard footsteps.
Disappeared down the corridor in an instant.
Yue Shu walked over and saw Su Wanning lying there with a few empty bottles beside her.
After looking around and finding nothing, he carried Su Wanning back to the room, cleaned the place, and went back.
After Yue Shu left, someone sat down where Su Wanning had been lying, drinking from the bottle of cocktail in his hand.
"This stuff is really delicious. It would be even better if there were a few more side dishes."
*
Su Wanning woke up the next day and rubbed her head subconsciously. After rubbing it a few times, she found that her head didn't hurt and she didn't feel any discomfort in her body.
She drank so much yesterday, how could she not feel unwell?
She looked around the room and wondered if she had just been dreaming when she went out to drink last night.
I walked out of the room and went to the pavilion to take a look. It was strange. Why were all the bottles gone?
Yue Shu saw Su Wanning running around and took the initiative to approach her and asked, "Miss, are you okay after drinking so much yesterday?"
"I drank alcohol yesterday?" Su Wanning realized what was happening and quickly changed her words, "Where's the bottle of wine I finished last night?"
"I cleaned it up."
"Then did you carry me back to my room?" Su Wanning asked.
Yueshu nodded. She vomited a lot when she was taken home last night, but fortunately it all fell to the ground.
Su Wanning got the exact answer from Yue Shu, and couldn't help thinking, she hasn't been drinking recently, how could she drink so much?
But she didn't have time to think about it, and several people continued to clean up the yard.
All the rooms were cleaned up in noon.
Su Wanning took out everything she needed from the space.
Various books are also arranged in rows.
The rattan chairs were also placed in the yard after everything was tidied up.
Everyone has free time.
"Miss, tomorrow is the Kitchen God Festival. Do we need to go to the city to buy things today?" Yue Shu asked.
