A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises
Chapter 206: There is no rat hole
As the sky gradually darkened, Tian Xiaoman dragged his tired body and was sent back to the house where the girl was imprisoned by a bandit.
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Ying couldn't rush over.
"Sister Xiaoman, are you okay?"
Tian Xiaoman smiled weakly at Xu Ying, "Sister Xu Ying, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, and I can't even lift my arms."
Xu Ying helped Tian Xiaoman sit against the wall and asked, "Did those bandits really ask you to go to the kitchen to light the fire? Did they beat you?"
Tian Xiaoman shook her head weakly and said, "Sister, don’t you see my current condition? I haven’t even had time to wash the wood ash off my face."
"That's good, I didn't get beaten. Did you have dinner tonight?"
Tian Xiaoman nodded and ate a full meal. That was the good thing about working in the kitchen: there was no shortage of food.
In the morning she had a steamed bun, but she was too busy to eat at noon. In the evening she had a bowl of millet rice soaked in vegetable soup. She ate two bowls in total, which caused Old Man Huo to complain a lot, saying that she was a starving ghost reincarnated!
The old man didn't even think about how much work he had done today. The little food he had in the morning had already been consumed.
If I don’t replenish it, I’m afraid I won’t have the energy to get up tomorrow.
However, Tian Xiaoman didn't care about old man Huo's sarcasm. No matter what old man Huo said, Tian Xiaoman just kept silent.
If you want to say it, just say it. The mouth is on other people's bodies, just pretend you can't hear it.
When Xu Ying heard that Tian Xiaoman had actually eaten a full meal, two bowls of millet rice, she was so envious.
Gululu——Gululu——
Xu Ying's stomach growled at the perfect time. She smiled awkwardly, "We didn't even have dinner. Did these bandits run out of food at home? They were only getting two meals a day a few days ago."
"How is Sister Jiang?"
Tian Xiaoman walked over and reached out to touch Jiang Furong's forehead.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Furong opened her eyes.
"Sister Jiang, you're awake."
Jiang Furong gave Tian Xiaoman a grateful smile. You could call it a smile, because the girl just pulled the corners of her mouth, but because of the wound on her face, the action of pulling the corners of her mouth made her feel painful.
Xu Ying came over to explain, "In the afternoon, her high fever gradually subsided."
"It's really the blessing of the Bodhisattva."
Tian Xiaoman felt very fortunate. The girl had a severe and sudden high fever at the time, but without any medication, she managed to get rid of the fever entirely by relying on her own immune system.
That night, no bandits came to take away any girls.
At dawn the next day, another person came to take Tian Xiaoman to the kitchen to work.
Seeing the dirty bowls, plates and chopsticks in the kitchen, Tian Xiaoman wanted to curse.
When I got home last night, there were clearly no dirty dishes in the kitchen. Who was this person, eating and drinking so late at night? He really didn't treat her as a human being!
It was a very cold day, and the first thing I did when I got up was to wash the dishes.
While washing, Tian Xiaoman cursed in his heart, cursing all the ancestors of this group of bandits.
After she finished washing the dishes, the old man surnamed Huo came. He stretched himself and walked into the kitchen. The first thing he said when he saw Tian Xiaoman was, "Little girl, heat up the pan with oil. I want to fry some peanuts."
Tian Xiaoman was like a little spinning top. Sometimes he was ordered by old man Huo to wash vegetables, sometimes to light the fire, and sometimes to peel garlic. In short, he never had a moment to rest.
Even so, Old Man Huo still felt disgusted.
So, at noon, another guard brought Chen Ying here.
When Old Man Huo saw Chen Ying, his eyes lit up. "This girl has a good physique. At least she doesn't have to carry only two pieces of wood at a time."
Tian Xiaoman: Okay, she admitted that the person that Old Man Huo mentioned who ran back holding two pieces of wood was her.
Xu Ying was very happy to see Tian Xiaoman. The two of them winked at each other for a while, listened to old man Huo's long speech, and then devoted themselves to their work in the kitchen.
However, when Old Man Huo wasn't paying attention, Tian Xiaoman and Chen Ying whispered to each other for several words.
"Oh——" Tian Xiaoman suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong with you?" Old man Huo was a little impatient.
"I want to go to the toilet."
"A lazy person will poop and pee a lot, so he can only work for a while longer, and you want to go to the toilet?"
Tian Xiaoman looked at Old Man Huo eagerly, as if she could pull out the next word of rejection that Old Man Huo was about to say on the spot.
After a day of getting along, Tian Xiaoman had a preliminary understanding of Old Man Huo.
This old man obviously has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Don't be fooled by his harsh and stupid words, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that he means well.
Especially when Tian Xiaoman just came, he mentioned to threaten Tian Xiaoman that the last person who wanted to escape was disemboweled. Tian Xiaoman understood what he meant. He was trying to persuade her in disguise not to have the bad idea of escaping, because if she escaped she would die. If she stayed in the village and worked hard, maybe she could still have a chance to survive.
Seeing Old Man Huo waving his hand impatiently, Tian Xiaoman relaxed his brows, said thank you, and then ran out.
Old Man Huo was just about to ask her if she knew where the toilet was, but he could no longer find Tian Xiaoman.
Tian Xiaoman came out of the kitchen yard and went towards the toilet that old man Huo mentioned yesterday.
She had a very good memory. She remembered that Old Man Huo said that if you come out of the kitchen, walk two houses south and then three houses west, you will see a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. The thatched house in the courtyard is the toilet.
Tian Xiaoman didn't really want to go to the toilet. She just wanted to use the excuse of going to the toilet to explore the surrounding situation and look for rat holes nearby.
If there is, she will try her luck next time. Maybe she will be lucky enough to see one or two mice.
But the sad thing is that along the way, not to mention mice, we didn’t even see a mouse hole.
Tian Xiaoman couldn't help wondering, could it be that the mice also bully the weak and fear the strong? Did they know that the bandits were not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to dig a hole in the mountain village?
Alas, after searching for a while, Tian Xiaoman found nothing and had to return empty-handed.
She walked around, not daring to stay anywhere for long. She just secretly paid attention to the surrounding terrain and planned to go back to the kitchen.
When turning the second corner, Tian Xiaoman was not paying attention and bumped into someone turning from the other side.
