Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.
Chapter 64 The aftermath
"I've dealt with the annoying flies. Luckily, I didn't touch the fire just now, otherwise my skewers would have fallen on it, which would have been a pity."
"It's been grilling for quite a while. Miss Yuntao, come and help check if the skewers are cooked."
Jiang Yu sat back in his original seat carelessly, picked up a skewer of sizzling skewers, and asked Cheng Yuntao with a puzzled look.
"Young Master Jiang is very skilled. He drove away the bad guys in just a few moves. It didn't take long at all. We have to wait a while for the skewers to be cooked." Cheng Yuntao took the skewers back and put them back on the fire to roast them.
Jiang Yu pouted in displeasure as he couldn't eat the skewers right away. The knife-carrying man who had just killed people without blinking an eye suddenly showed some childish look on his face.
In the past, Jiang Yu thought that eating was just to replenish physical strength, and as long as he had something to fill his stomach, it would be fine.
But only now did he realize that such a small piece of meat could actually taste so rich and delicious.
Now, the glutton in his stomach was completely aroused. He couldn't eat to his heart's content in one go, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Hey! Miss Yuntao, can you cook rabbit meat?" Jiang Yu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly became energetic. He straightened his back and stared at Cheng Yuntao with shining eyes.
Cheng Yuntao was originally staring at the leaping flames in a daze. When she was asked this question so suddenly, she was unable to react for a moment and could only respond stupidly based on instinct.
"Ah? Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Jiang Yu excitedly jumped up from the ground: "Great! Then I'll go out and catch the first wild rabbit now!"
Before Cheng Yuntao could say anything more, Jiang Yu flew out like a gust of wind.
"Eh..." Seeing the other party coming and going in a hurry, Cheng Yuntao was a little amused.
After Jiang Yu left, the dilapidated temple suddenly became much quieter. Cheng Yuntao finally took some time to speak and said, "Is everyone okay? That scene just now was so thrilling. I'm sure you're all scared."
"Wuwuwu——" Cheng Yueli had been holding it in for a long time, and now that she was safe, she was finally able to vent.
Hearing her sobbing, Cheng Yuntao felt extremely distressed. She quickly took her into her arms and comforted her softly, "Xiaoli, just cry if you want to. Sister is here."
Cheng Yueli nestled in Cheng Yuntao's arms, raised her tearful eyes to look at her, and then tears as big as beans fell.
But after her tears fell, she quickly raised her arms, wiped away her tears with her sleeves, and choked a little.
"I...I'm fine. Xiaoli, you don't have to be afraid. It's just...I just can't help it."
"Xiao Li knows that crying loudly will make people dislike her, so just now... she just kept it in and didn't make any sound. Sister, did Xiao Li behave well?"
These words made Cheng Yuntao feel even more distressed. Xiaoli was so sensible at such a young age. She was afraid that her crying would annoy her, so she suppressed her fear and kept it to herself.
"Xiaoli is great and very brave!"
Cheng Yueli burst into laughter after receiving the praise, and a big bubble of snot appeared on her face. Cheng Yuntao quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tear-stained face.
Then Cheng Yuntao raised her head and looked at Cheng Jingzhu with concern. After noticing her sister's gaze, Cheng Jingzhu first nodded, then quickly shook her head.
Cheng Yuntao was a little confused for a moment. Could this child be scared silly?
"Xiaozhu, what do you mean?"
Cheng Jingzhu moved a little embarrassedly, moved closer to Cheng Yuntao's side, and whispered, "I was quite scared just now..."
Such a scene would terrify even an adult who has experienced many storms, let alone an ordinary child.
"It's okay, Xiaozhu. Fear is a normal emotion. Everyone has it. You don't have to feel embarrassed."
After receiving comfort from her sister, Cheng Jingzhu was no longer as nervous as before.
"I was really scared at first, mainly because there were so many bad guys. I was afraid that Brother Jiang wouldn't be able to defeat them all. But then Brother Jiang made a move and beat them to a pulp! He was truly amazing!"
"I just took a peek and saw that Brother Jiang can perform Qinggong! He flew high up in the air and swung the big knife forward! Like this, whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Cheng Jingzhu imitated the gestures while speaking, and he learned it quite well.
"If only I knew martial arts, I could protect you and teach those bad guys a lesson!"
Speaking of this, Cheng Jingzhu suddenly felt a little discouraged. If they hadn't met Jiang Yu tonight, they would probably have been in big trouble.
This was only their first night down the mountain, and they didn't know what they would encounter in the future. Relying on others was not a long-term solution after all, and they still had to become strong on their own.
"Sister, can I take Brother Jiang as my master? I want to learn martial arts from him! When I learn it in the future, I can protect you, my sister, and grandma!"
When mentioning this, Cheng Jingzhu's eyes were full of excitement, as if he had already seen himself becoming a hero.
"Well...you have to ask Young Master Jiang yourself. I don't know if he is willing to accept you as his apprentice." Cheng Jingzhu had this idea, and Cheng Yuntao was quite supportive of it, but it still depended on what Jiang Yu thought.
As a roaming knight, Jiang Yu probably didn't like staying in one place for long. Tomorrow morning, they would continue their journey to Junhua City. As for where Jiang Yu would go, they still didn't know.
If we are in the same line of work, we may be able to get along for a while. If we are not in the same line of work, we will probably part ways early tomorrow morning.
However, Cheng Yuntao did not want to dampen Cheng Jingzhu's enthusiasm by expressing this speculation too early. It was rare for a young man to have something that interested him, so it was better to let him get excited for a while.
"Okay! I'll ask Brother Jiang when he comes back!"
Seeing that her younger brother and sister's emotions were not greatly affected, Cheng Yuntao hurried to Zhou Xiufang's side: "Grandma, are you feeling okay?"
Zhou Xiufang reached out and stroked Cheng Yuntao's cheek, smiled at her, and indicated that she was fine.
"Don't worry, Yuntao. Grandma is not as timid as you think. As long as our family is together and no one gets hurt, Grandma is not afraid."
"But I really have to thank that young man just now. If it weren't for him, we would have been in trouble."
Mentioning what happened just now again, Cheng Yuntao felt a sense of emotion in her heart. Fortunately, their luck was not too bad.
As a reward, she needed to cook the wild rabbit caught by others better. Thinking of this, she hurriedly removed the grilled skewers and put the pot on.
