A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The next day, after selling the buns, Shen Wu, Gu Zhou and the man named Xie went to the yard they had visited yesterday.

"Please bother to prepare a meal for my brother. If you two hadn't come, I wouldn't know how to deal with my worries."

After Xie Fang returned yesterday, he reported everything that happened with the two men truthfully. After listening to him, his master criticized him severely. If his master was not still injured, he would have been angry to death.

He knew that he had done something stupid, and it took him a long time to apologize to calm his master down. What he said today was what his master taught him personally, so there must be no problem with it.

Shen Wu knew that Gu Zhou was still angry. The kid had been angry since she mentioned the breakup yesterday afternoon. Although she didn't know what Gu Zhou was angry about, he had a stern face and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

She thought that if trouble came because of her, then she could just go alone. She had severed ties with Gu Zhou's family and could just find a reason. If this person really had a problem, then he would come after her.

What made Gu Zhou angry was that she was reckless, like a young lady who was ignorant of the ways of the world. The world was very chaotic, and she was a woman, so she had to be more alert than others when she was out there.

Although she was now representing a man, she seemed a little too bold to take on this job without careful investigation.

After all, Shen Wu comes from the modern era. Although she is alert and vigilant, she still has the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the friendly qualities of modern people in her bones. She has not learned to think of others as bad.

Or maybe modern life is too stable so she has a sense of crisis but not too much.

Following the people into the yard, Shen Wu once again sighed how good it was to be rich. This place was quite big, a two-courtyard house similar to the ones in ancient TV dramas. After entering the gate, there was a small reception room with two houses on each side. You could go around to the back of the house from the side. Behind the house, there was a large room facing the reception room. There were also houses on both sides, but they were more like warehouses.

"Does your brother have any dietary restrictions?"

Since they wanted to find out, Xie Fang did not intend to expose the danger first. If they were really spies, they would not trust information that was obtained too easily: "My brother is not used to the climate and caught a cold today. Although he takes medicine every day, his condition seems to be getting better. This is why I dared to ask the two brothers to come."

Shen Wu was silent for a while, then asked, "What do you think of your hometown cuisine? I'll make something similar for you to try."

Xie Fang immediately became alert! Here it comes! He began to ask around, but he avoided the question and instead talked about their steamed buns.

"That's not necessary for now. My brother was very happy eating the buns made by you two recently. I wonder if you can make some similar food."

Shen Wu was silent... Similar? Could it be that she was going to make buns again!

Forget it, let's see what's in the kitchen first: "Please take us to the kitchen first. Now that you mention it, I can't think of what to cook for the time being."

Xie Fang led the way in front, while Shen Wu and Gu Zhou followed one after the other.

Gu Zhou has been seldom talkative these days. Besides the fact that Shen Wu unilaterally agreed to Xie Fang's invitation, there is another reason: Gu Zhou is a little worried about the heavy snow in winter.

It is now late September, the autumn wind has not yet risen, and the weather is abnormal. Most of the seedlings in the field have wilted due to the sun. Autumn is rainy, but except for the heavy rain that lasted for several days and nights a few days ago, the next few days were all scorching sun, and there seemed to be no wind at all.

In previous years, the wind would always be a little chilly at this time of year, but except for the early morning when the sky was cool before dawn, the weather was still unbearably hot throughout the day.

“This is it”

Xie Fang led the people to the place. The kitchen had been cleaned up just yesterday. Originally, this house was a worthless piece of property in the hands of a property official. It had not been sold for many years and had even lost money. But since they were trapped here and had to take over because of the matter of Cha Fengling, it became their hands.

The more dilapidated the place, the easier it is to hide. Although it is a two-story courtyard, it is so dilapidated that it looks like a haunted house that has been there for hundreds of years, dirty and dilapidated everywhere.

The room where the master slept was the only one that was relatively clean and bright. We had to use water to clean it with great difficulty before we dared to let anyone move in.

I'm not sure if the smell is really good, it always feels like there's some musty smell that can't be removed.

A fish, a chicken, and a piece of meat. There are only one or two kinds of vegetables, a small rapeseed and a radish, and a piece of tofu?

Shen Wu glanced at the people and turned back silently: "Where's the oil? Where's the salt? Do you have soy sauce? Do you have soybean paste?"

This dynasty had a sauce. She had seen it in the department store, but she didn't dare to buy it because she had never tasted it. However, Gu Zhou said it tasted delicious.

Speaking of this, Shen Wu recalled the watermelon and soybean paste that her family made every summer. When the weather was hot, it would be ready to eat after being dried in the sun for half a month. She would boil it with oil and some seasonings. The boiled paste would be red and shiny. She would eat it with the freshly-made white steamed buns. She could eat five steamed buns.

"I'll go buy it right now..." Xie Fang subconsciously felt something was wrong just as he was about to go out. Why did he get sent away?

Is this the start?!

He was a little hesitant. His master's move was too risky!

No, no! Didn’t he buy the seasoning? How come it’s gone again? He even went to weigh the salt! Could it be that he lost it on the way?

Xie Fang looked at the only fish and vegetables on the table and fell silent... Indeed, there was nothing... Could it be that it was really haunted!

Shen Wu saw that he turned around and didn't move, and quickly clapped his hands as if he remembered something: "Oh, right! Don't buy that sauce, buy some green onions, ginger, garlic, and if you have pepper, Sichuan pepper, and some too."

What she said... Xie Fang didn’t understand. He looked at her blankly, his mind in a mess. Could this be the secret code of their organization for contact?

Seeing that he still didn't move, Shen Wu was confused. Could he have deliberately not bought the seasoning? Was there someone lying in ambush at home?

"I... I don't know what you want looks like." Xie Fang made up his mind to show weakness and spoke to the person in a wronged tone.

He planned to just follow the person, just in case he could figure out some tricks.

Shen Wu held her head. After all this time, she didn't know the seasoning? She felt something was wrong, but this was a good opportunity: "Then how about this, my brother and I will go out with you to buy it, and you can pay the bill when the time comes."

In case someone forgot, he added: "You have to come and get the money for the food and vegetables that we agreed to buy. We are too small to pay for it."

"Of course, I'd rather go find the two guys and get paid on the same day, the money earned from picking and selling doesn't count."

"Then let's go, the three of us." Shen Wu nodded to the people and pulled Gu Zhou out first.

She pretended to act like a spoiled child and approached Gu Zhou, humming and saying loudly: "Brother... let's finish it quickly and go back with the uncle and the third uncle."

Shen Wu leaned closer and whispered, "Are you still angry? I'm sorry... I'll run away after I make all the money I've earned."

She felt Gu Zhou's stiffness, but she didn't want to see the little brat still so angry. She admitted that she was wrong and that she was too eager to make money and took too many risks.

Gu Zhou had been observing since he entered the door. This yard felt emptier than when he saw it yesterday. When the breeze blew through the door railing, it made a rustling sound. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he found that it was coming from the broken old window.

After observing this place many times, he found that it really looked like a place where kidnappers would live, but the last kidnapping in the town was five years ago. How could someone rent a yard specifically to kidnap them, and it’s so shabby?

Could it be that they were going to do something big, and the yard was used to house the people who were photographed away in the town?

The more Gu Zhou thought about it, the more nervous he became. He subconsciously tensed his body and looked around, but he never expected her to come closer.
