Of course, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t admit it to Su Zheng.
Third Master Xue wasn’t a fool. From Su Zheng’s reaction, he obtained the answer he wanted.
“No wonder. No wonder you accepted me so easily the moment I arrived! No wonder you weren’t on guard at all when I wandered around the village and let me do whatever I wanted!”
Thinking of this, Third Master Xue smiled bitterly.
“Looks like I’ve been a failure all my life. I’ve been played by a woman this entire time.”
First, it was Cui Niang, then it was Yu Baifeng.
How muddle-headed was he to be deceived by them?
Not knowing how to comfort him, Luo Cheng looked at Third Master Xue.
After all, his uncle seemed to have always been at a disadvantage when it came to women.
“So, Third Master Xue, what are you sad about? You should be happy! At least you saw these people’s true colors and won’t have to be deceived by them in the future. Some people will never be able to see through the truth and will always be kept in the dark. Therefore, you should be happy. At least you weren’t stupid to the end!” Li Xiaoran’s voice sounded.
It had to be said that Li Xiaoran’s words were very harsh, but they were the truth.
“You’re right. I should be happy!” Although Third Master Xue had figured it out now, the feeling of being betrayed by someone he trusted made him feel very upset.
“I just want to ask why. Am I that gullible?”
“What’s the point? Isn’t it just a coincidence? Perhaps she needed someone, and you happened to appear at that time. That’s all! If you want to blame someone, you can only say that you’re really unlucky! However, you’ve already encountered two, so I believe your luck will change soon!” Li Xiaoran comforted.
When Wu Qinghe heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ruyue, sometimes, I feel that Madam is more of a prophet than me! She’s better at beguiling people than me!”
Although Shu Ruyue felt that Wu Qinghe’s words were a little strange, she felt that he was right.
“Actually, you don’t have to lie to Xiaoran. Just by standing there, she can convince people!”
Third Master Xue was originally feeling very sad, but Li Xiaoran’s words dispelled his sadness and amused him.
Li Xiaoran said, “Alright, you should recuperate first! With your current state, if you’re depressed, your body might not be able to take it!” Then, Li Xiaoran looked at the others.
“Don’t just stand there. Follow me. Take the shovels or scimitars on the ground and follow me to the front to dig potatoes to eat!”
Then, Li Xiaoran shifted her focus to serious matters.
When the others heard this, they quickly went to get their tools and followed Li Xiaoran.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng stayed behind. On the one hand, he had to take care of his uncle, and on the other hand, he had to watch Su Zheng.
Lin Ning and Zi Zheng quickly carried two bags of rice and two baskets over.
There were vegetables and cured meat in the basket.
Of course, they also brought the Night Pearl.
Surprisingly, there were nine Night Pearls.
“Where did you get so many Night Pearls?” After Li Xiaoran brought taros back, she happened to see Lin Ning taking out the Night Pearls in the cave to count.
Zi Zheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Su Zheng has the Night Pearl, so do the scarfaced man and Big Head Xu also have the Night Pearl? We went over to take a look on the way. There were three of them. Each of them has three, so we got nine in one go! Also, these vegetables, fruits, and cured meat were also taken from these three people’s houses. When a villager saw them, he asked Lin Ning, who used the excuse that the village chief asked him to cook!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect such a good thing to happen.
Therefore, the group quickly got busy.
There was a small stream near the medicinal field that was usually used as a water source to irrigate the medicinal field.
Today, Li Xiaoran and the others used the stream to wash up and get some water to drink.
Lin Ning wandered around the cave and wrung out a few wooden buckets, bowls, spatulas, and condiments before handing them to Zi Zheng.
“I’ve given you everything. Take it and use it! If you’re worried, just put it in the stream to wash it or check if it’s poisonous! If you’re worried, let me try the food later. After confirming that there’s no problem, you can eat it!”
Luo Cheng glanced at Lin Ning and said, “That’s not what we meant! But if you really played tricks, you won’t be able to hide it from us!”
After all, their medical skills were outstanding. Moreover, everyone had taken pills that could detoxify hundreds of poisons, so they were really unafraid of others poisoning them!
Wondering if these people really believed him, Li Ning glanced at Luo Cheng.
After that, everyone started a fire to cook.
After the people from Shatai Village who had been captured were knocked out by Luo Cheng, they were sent to a pit in the cave to be locked up!
Without these eyesores, the entire medicinal field looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Originally, there were still some bloodstains left behind from the fight, but they were all buried in the ground.
Even if someone came over, they wouldn’t realize that there had been a fight there.
Fortunately, the food was cooked in the cave, so it was easy to clean. For a moment, everyone sat around and waited.
For the sake of convenience, Li Xiaoran cooked a large pot of rice.
In addition, there was also a pot of cucumber egg soup.
The hungry group wolfed down the rice and cucumber soup.
Shu Ruyue marveled after finishing the bowl of rice, “Sigh, why didn’t I know how delicious braised rice was before?”
Wu Qinghe said, “That’s because you’re hungry! When you’re hungry, everything tastes delicious!”
Because Wu Qinghe had starved before, he hit the nail on the head.
Shu Ruyue thought of something and asked, “But how are we going to bring so much rice with us?”
Li Xiaoran replied with a smile, “That’s simple! Aren’t there banana leaves nearby? Pick some and we’ll knead the remaining rice into a ball. Then, we’ll carry the banana leaves in our pockets and take them away!”
Shu Ruyue felt that it was a good idea.
“Aren’t you afraid of the food spoiling? The weather is hot today, so you might get a stomachache after eating it!” Yu Peng reminded her kindly..
