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

"Ouch!"

Tian Xiaoman took two steps back before he could steady himself.

She had just bumped into that person's chest and felt a burning pain in her nose.

She touched it with her hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no nosebleed.

From the feeling just now, she thought her nose would definitely be broken.

When Tian Xiaoman looked up, he saw two people coming towards him.

Both men were tall and strong, and the one she bumped into had a thickly bearded face.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

Tian Xiaoman pulled the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile that could be considered a smile.

"Um - I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and didn't look at the road."

The man opposite had a very long beard that almost covered the lower half of his face. He was wearing royal blue clothes, which made him look very sturdy.

When the man saw Tian Xiaoman, he was slightly stunned, then he returned to normal and said in a muffled voice, "You little girl, why don't you look at the road."

Tian Xiaoman could only lower his head and remain silent.

There was no way. The bandit’s den was full of bandits, and she couldn’t reason with them.

If you are not careful and offend anyone, you may be beaten up by them.

For the sake of her own life, she had to suppress her temper.

"I'm talking to you, are you dumb? Apologize to me now, or I'll take you to the prison in the mountain stronghold and teach you a lesson!"

After the bearded man finished speaking, he looked at Tian Xiaoman for a few times, and then said to the man following behind him, "What are the people in the village doing when they go out to do business? They brought such a young girl back. If she was kidnapped by a kidnapper, she could be sold to a brothel and kept for a few years without losing money. But where is this place? Are we going to keep her for a few years for nothing?"

The man spoke in a muffled voice, which made Tian Xiaoman feel extremely uncomfortable.

Tian Xiaoman couldn't explain the discomfort. It felt like the man's voice seemed a little deliberate.

Tian Xiaoman stared at the bearded face opposite him for a long time, and suddenly felt that the face seemed a little familiar.

She shook off the unrealistic thoughts in her mind. How could it be possible? How could she feel familiar with a bandit?

"Little girl, can't you look at the road? Are your eyes growing on the dog's belly?"

When the man following the bearded man saw Tian Xiaoman bump into the bearded man, he started yelling and even wanted to come over to teach Tian Xiaoman a lesson, but was stopped by the bearded man.

Tian Xiaoman was shocked. He thought he had bumped into someone, so he should apologize and go back to the kitchen. Otherwise, he would lose his life before he could plan how to escape.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't look where I was going. The kitchen is calling for me to help, so I'll leave now."

Without waiting for the two to say anything, Tian Xiaoman jogged towards the kitchen, fearing that if he ran a step slower, he would lose his life.

"Brother Hu Zi, why don't you let me teach that girl a lesson? She actually dared to bump into you. Brother Hu Zi is someone the boss values ​​very much, how can I bear this!"

"She's just a little girl. If I argue with her, wouldn't that be embarrassing? The boss is in a hurry. Let's go over there quickly."

"That's right! Brother Hu Zi, that's why the boss puts you in such a good position. You really keep the boss' instructions in mind at all times. Unlike me, I forget them when I'm busy."

The bearded man's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked towards the front hall with the people around him. However, while walking, he did not forget to ask questions from the people around him.

"When did a little girl come to the village?"

"Brother Hu, it turns out you didn't know about this!"

The bearded man smiled and said, "You don't know me yet. I have been working at the foot of the mountain for the past few days and just came back. How would I know what is going on in the village?"

The man seemed to want to please the bearded man and hurriedly told him about the latest happenings in the village.

"It's just the fat guy and the skinny guy. The boss asked them to go and avenge 'that person', but they actually caught the wrong person."

"Caught the wrong person? How could the wrong person be caught? Fatty and Skinny Monkey are both known to be steady and collected."

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, so they took this little girl as the eldest daughter of that family and brought her back. They only realized they were wrong when they got to the village."

"You little girl, your hair hasn't even fully grown yet, what can you do with her?"

"That's why we say you are so clear-sighted, Brother Huzi. We can't keep people who eat for free in the village. Since we can't comfort our brothers, we can only go to the kitchen to make fire. By the way, I heard that the black girl who came a few days ago was also sent to the kitchen."

"I remember there was a disfigured man in the village. Why wasn't he sent over as well?"

The man shook his head. "Well, with injuries like that, she probably won't live long. The boss was so angry that he didn't even call a doctor for her."

Seeing that they were about to reach the front hall, the bearded man stopped asking questions and changed the subject by finding something to talk about.

In the kitchen, Old Man Huo was yelling while holding a spatula.

As soon as Tian Xiaoman entered, the first person to see her was Chen Ying.

Old man Huo had his back to the kitchen door and didn't see Tian Xiaoman. Chen Ying kept looking at Tian Xiaoman, but Tian Xiaoman was thinking with his head down and didn't see anything at all.

It wasn't until she almost bumped into Old Man Huo's back that Tian Xiaoman came to her senses.

Old Man Huo was furious. "Little girl, did you fall into the toilet? It took you so long to come back!"

Tian Xiaoman smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it because you are not familiar with the road? You went to the wrong place. I will definitely not do it again next time."

Seeing that Tian Xiaoman's attitude was quite good, Old Man Huo just snorted and ignored her. He pointed to a few cabbages piled up not far away and said, "Go, cut and wash those cabbages. I'll put them in the pot later."

"Okay, Baozheng completes the task."

Tian Xiaoman went to cut cabbage happily. In the kitchen, old man Huo had absolute say.

In the past few days, Tian Xiaoman also realized that many of the minions in the mountain village behaved well when they saw Old Man Huo. It seemed that this old man still had some status in the mountain village.

In order to escape, Tian Xiaoman was willing to kowtow and even be a bit of a bootlicker in front of this old man.

By the time I finished all the work in the kitchen, it was already completely dark.

Tian Xiaoman's arms were so sore from tired that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to lift them up the next morning.

When Old Man Huo saw that the kitchen was clean and the pots and pans had been washed, he told Chen Ying and Tian Xiaoman to eat.

Chen Ying and Tian Xiaoman's dinner was the same as the dinner of the minions in the mountain village, stewed cabbage and two kinds of rice.

Fortunately, Chen Ying even found a piece of meat in the dish.

By the time they finished their meal, Chen Ying was almost in tears.

"Sister Xiaoman, do you know? I haven't eaten meat in a long time! If I knew I could eat meat by working in the kitchen, I would have come here a long time ago. Wow, that meat tastes really good!"

Tian Xiaoman was speechless and said, "Sister, if meat doesn't taste like meat, can it still be called meat?"

Tian Xiaoman and Chen Ying worked quite efficiently in the kitchen, so the bandits in the mountain stronghold did not watch them so strictly. At least there was no one guarding them when they came to the kitchen in the morning or returned to their rooms at night.

Xu Ying held Tian Xiaoman's hand, and the two of them walked in the dark towards the house where they had been imprisoned.

Along the way, Chen Ying kept nagging, "It would be even better if we were given a separate room with a bed so we could sleep well. Maybe I'll stay in this village because of the good treatment."

Tian Xiaoman no longer paid attention to Chen Ying's crazy words. His eyes moved quickly, constantly observing whether there were any rat holes on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, Chen Ying's scream was heard in the darkness.

Out of instinct, Tian Xiaoman also shouted, and then she realized what was going on. Why was she shouting along?

"Sister Chen Ying, what's wrong?"

Chen Ying pointed to the darkness not far ahead and said in a terrified tone, "There's a mouse! Right there! Sister Xiaoman, let's run. This is what I've been most afraid of since I was a child!"
