A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

"I'm talking to you! Why aren't you moving?"

When the guard saw that Tian Xiaoman was indifferent and looked lost, he immediately came over and tried to pull Tian Xiaoman away.

Tian Xiaoman was a little nervous. Should she go or not?

But now it seems that it is not up to me to decide whether to go or not.

"You can't take Xiaoman away. She's still a child. If you want to take someone away, take me with you. I'll take her place!"

Chen Ying rushed forward and stood in front of Tian Xiaoman, looking like a hen protecting her chicks.

For some reason, Tian Xiaoman felt a little touched.

She and this girl have only known each other for one day, but when something happens, this girl is really aggressive!

The guard looked up at Chen Ying, and when he saw Chen Ying's appearance, he spat at him.

"Bah! Why are you everywhere? Don't you look at yourself? You're as black as a charcoal head. Who would look down on someone like you? Get out of the way! Just do what you need to do and don't interfere with my business."

"You are the one who looks like a charcoal head. I am tanned! Tanned! If you take good care of yourself, you can turn white again. Do you have good taste?"

"You? You can come back for nothing? Bah! There is no mirror here, but there is a bucket of water. Go to the water and look at yourself. Even if you come back for nothing, no one will look down on you."

"You, why are you like this? Maybe the wife you find in the future won't be as white as me!"

"Hey - you little girl, you dare to curse me? Are you looking for a fight? Well, I'll grant your wish and let you know what it means to mind your own business!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Tian Xiaoman held her forehead with her hand. What kind of people did she run into? Didn’t they say they were here to take her away? Why were they still arguing about whether it was fair or not?

Besides, is the question of whether it is white or not the key point now? Isn't the most important thing that they are in a mountain village and can only be slaughtered by others?

Tian Xiaoman patted Chen Ying's arm soothingly, "Sister Chen Ying, I'll go with them. Don't worry, I can protect myself."

"No! Sister Xiaoman, I'll go with you. I just don't believe that they can eat a little girl like you, who looks like a seedling!"

Tian Xiaoman: I feel awkward for no apparent reason! Obviously, what Sister Chen Ying said was all good, but when I think about it carefully, it seems a little off.

"What are you thinking about?" The guard was furious. He really didn't want to continue arguing with Chen Ying. "Don't you see how old this little girl is? What can I take her to do? I received an order from the higher-ups to take this little girl to help in the kitchen. We don't keep idle people in our village. It just so happens that we are short of a girl to cook in the kitchen. This little girl can help with the chores. But I warn you, don't even think about running away. Once you are found, you will be killed without mercy."

Fire-making girl?

Who?

--I?

Tian Xiaoman was still confused. It turned out that he had misunderstood. Seeing how things had turned out, he had imagined a big drama in vain.

When Chen Ying heard that they were going to make a fire, he didn't argue. As long as the girl was not in danger, it would be fine. Otherwise, such a beautiful child would be wasted.

only--

Why let a little girl to light the fire? Why not ask me to do it? I have the advantage in terms of strength and age!

Chen Ying wanted to ask something else, but the only response she got was the sound of the door being locked.

Well, there is no chance to ask, so I can only wait for Sister Xiaoman to come back.

Tian Xiaoman followed the guard, came out of the small courtyard, and headed towards the big kitchen of the mountain village.

This time, because it was daytime, Tian Xiaoman could roughly see the situation in the village.

The houses in the village are similar to those in Tianjia Village, most of them are mud and thatched houses.

The village is located on an open space halfway up the mountain in Pinglin Mountain. It covers a very large area and has about twenty or thirty houses.

There seemed to be a large courtyard in the middle of the village. There seemed to be a flag on the roof of the house in front of the gate. There was something written on the flag, but Tian Xiaoman could not see it clearly because it was a bit far away.

Along the way, they also encountered several bandits. Tian Xiaoman even saw a small team of about a dozen people, who were training in a yard, but their slogans were only sporadic and their morale was weak.

After walking around for a long time, I finally arrived at the gate of a courtyard.

This yard was about the same size as theirs, with three mud and thatched houses. It was almost noon, smoke was coming out of the chimney, the door was wide open, and a shadow was swaying inside.

Before they could go in, the guard who brought Tian Xiaoman shouted, "Old man Huo, the boss asked me to send you a fire-making girl. From now on, this girl will work with you, such as making fire, washing dishes, and cutting vegetables. You can ask her to do anything. If she doesn't obey, tell me later and I will teach her a lesson for you."

"Oh, the boss is finally considerate of me and sent me a fireman."

As soon as the voice fell, an old man in his forties or fifties walked out from the open kitchen door.

The old man had a goatee, was thin and small, but his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"The person has been sent, so I will go back first. Old man Huo, remember, when you get lunch at noon, put an extra piece of meat in my bowl."

Old Man Huo smiled and said, "I know. Go back quickly. I know you are busy."

When only Tian Xiaoman and old man with goat beard were left in the yard, old man with goat beard's eyes fell on Tian Xiaoman.

He looked at Tian Xiaoman for a few times and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"So skinny! What kind of work can you do? The boss is really something, why didn't he send me a strong one? It just so happens that I need to steam some buns for lunch, so come and light the fire for me."

Old man Huo walked into the house and motioned Tian Xiaoman to follow.

Tian Xiaoman followed Old Man Huo very obediently. Suddenly, Old Man Huo stopped and looked back at Tian Xiaoman as if he remembered something. "Little girl, I'm warning you. Now that you're in our village, you should be sensible. Do you know why there's no one in my kitchen who burns the fire? It's because the last one was disobedient and was gutted by the boss. If you're not honest, be careful that I'll gut you too."

Tian Xiaoman shrank her neck and nodded. Old Man Huo seemed very satisfied with her performance.

Throughout the whole afternoon, Tian Xiaoman almost never left the stove.

After steaming the buns, he started stir-frying and stewing, one after another. Even in such a cold day, Tian Xiaoman was so busy that he sweated all over.

At this moment, she no longer had the energy to complain.

She felt as if she was inseparable from the word "fire-making". Fortunately, she had experience in fire-making before, so she was not unfamiliar with it and could get started directly.

There was a reason why Tian Xiaoman endured the humiliation and became a fire-making girl.

As long as you get out of that house, you might have a chance to visit other places in the village.

If you see a rat hole or other rats, you can drag a rat back to send a message.

Fat Gray! Do you know that your good friend I am suffering miserably?
