Chapter 147 Starting over
"Master, you're awake!"
Juhua was doing needlework nearby. When she saw Chen Wen open his eyes, she immediately went up to him and started a conversation.
Chen Wen looked over and identified her for a few seconds before remembering that this was a maid in his grandmother's house.
"Is there water?"
"Yes! Master, I'll go pour you a bowl."
Juhua quickly got off the bed and went to the kitchen to get some water.
Chen Wen struggled to sit up, but his left hand gave way and he fell back onto the kang.
"Hee hee hee."
Chen Wen looked over when he heard the voice and found that it was a little girl of about five or six years old, who was laughing with another little girl while covering her mouth.
Chen Wen's face turned red, he knew that the two of them were laughing at him.
"let me help you."
Mu Tou and Tie Tou knew that they had to take good care of Chen Wen, so they pulled Chen Wen up from the left and right.
"Are you hungry? There's porridge in the kitchen. I'll get you a bowl."
After getting Chen Wen's affirmative answer, Mu Tou got off the kang and went to the kitchen.
While waiting, Chen Wen looked at the people in the room curiously.
He saw that everyone looked at him with a kind and curious look, and both sides were a little nervous. Chen Wen didn't say anything, and the people in the room didn't take the initiative to talk to him. Everyone kept a polite distance.
"Brother, is your home in Yunhe?"
Miaomiao was obviously not among the group. She pulled Tiantian over to Chen Wen and started a conversation.
Chen Wen nodded shyly, "Yes, Yunhe Guangyuan."
Miaomiao's eyes lit up. "Wow, my grandpa's grandfather's family is also in Guangyuan. Is your house big? I heard that houses in the south are very expensive."
Chen Wen frowned and thought carefully. He didn't know much about these things, but at this moment he didn't want to say that he didn't know, so he tried to recall, "I only remember that my mother rented a shop to someone else for 300 taels a year."
This sentence caused Miaomiao and Tiantian to exclaim, "It costs 300 taels to rent, so wouldn't it be even more expensive to buy it?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Wen shook his head and said, "It's impossible to buy it. Few people will sell their shops. Even if they do, they will give priority to those in the same industry. This is how we bought several shops."
Su He, who was listening not far away, sighed. It was really difficult for ordinary people to make it.
Miaomiao frowned, thinking that their family would not be able to buy it.
"Are paddy fields expensive in your area?"
Chen Wen was confused, "Paddy field?"
"Don't you know Mizuta?"
Miaomiao looked at Chen Wen suspiciously, which made Chen Wen feel ashamed.
"What delicious food is there in Yunhe?"
"How big is Guangyuan County?"
"Can you play cat's tuck?"
Su He walked over helplessly, "Master, would you like some milk tea?"
Milk tea! He knows this question.
"Hello, can you make milk tea?"
Chen Wen was happy and finally relieved. He knew about milk tea. He had drunk it many times at his grandma's house.
"Yes, you have drunk it at the old lady's place, I taught you this method."
Su He signaled to Juhua to help Chen Wen put on clothes, and then directed the family to go to the kitchen to get them.
Chen Wen was surprised, and then felt a little unconfident. Why did he know less than the maid in his grandmother's house?
"Have you ever drunk rice wine?"
Miaomiao is online again.
Sure enough, Chen Wen lowered his head again.
"Master, drink some water first, then eat some porridge to fill your stomach."
Su He glared at Miao Miao angrily, and the little girl pouted and quieted down.
"Sister, Tiantian and I also want to drink milk tea."
"Okay, Miss Liu made a lot, let's drink some together."
Miaomiao was happy again and took out a rope to play twirls with Tiantian.
Juhua moved a small coffee table over, placed milk tea, a bowl of porridge, and some dried sweet potatoes and dried meat on the table.
"Master, porridge is the best for the stomach, please eat more."
Chen Wen was a man who listened to advice, and he finished his bowl of porridge in no time. After he finished, he picked up the milk tea to drink. Well, it was a familiar taste, hot and delicious.
“What’s this yellow thing?”
"It's dried sweet potatoes. They are sweet and soft. They are eaten by us peasants. If you don't mind, you can have some."
Chen Wen took one and put it in his mouth to chew. The first feeling was that it was soft and sticky, and his mouth was filled with a faint sweet fragrance. Chen Wen chewed hard and finished one with great effort.
After finishing it, I ate the second one and finished it with milk tea in a short while.
Miaomiao was about to speak, but was afraid her sister would say something, so she had to hold it back.
Finally, Chen Wen spoke up himself.
“Is this catwalk?”
Miaomiao and Tiantian looked over at the same time. Chen Wen was a little bolder now. "We boys usually play Cuju."
Cuju? Miaomiao doesn’t know how to play it now.
"What is Cuju?"
Chen Wen smiled and explained to the two little kids confidently. Mu Tou and Tie Tou also sat beside them and listened.
Miaomiao listened to the confident summary and said, "I see, we play with our hands, and you boys play with your feet."
Chen Wen frowned, he felt something was wrong. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only say one sentence dryly.
"You'll also need to play Cuju."
Miaomiao was not interested in this at all, she still wanted to play cat's tuck.
"So do you want to play cat's tangle? I can teach you."
Miaomiao invited him enthusiastically. She thought this guy called Shaoye was okay and they could have some fun together.
"I'm not very good at."
Chen Wen has no confidence.
"It's okay. I'm good at teaching people. Tiantian was taught by me. Tiantian, go play with your nephew Tietou. I'll teach the young master."
Tiantian agreed obediently, while Tietou was catching the rope beside him with a frown on his face. He didn't want to play at all. But the gazes of his father and grandfather were too strong, so he could only do what Miaomiao said.
Miaomiao took the things on the coffee table away in a very familiar manner.
"Our initial hand gesture was like this. First, tie a rope like this, and then like this."
"I know a lot of tricks. This is a hill, this is our farmland. This is noodles, and this is the stars in the sky."
Chen Wen opened his eyes wide, afraid that he would miss it if he blinked.
"And this, my sister said it's called a fishing net, but there's no river or fishing net in our village. When we get to Su'an in a few days, I've agreed with my sister that we'll go to the dock to look for it."
Miaomiao's eyes were filled with longing, and Tiantian rarely spoke.
"There's water at the dock, so there must be fishing nets."
The two little sisters smiled at each other.
Chen Wen was about to open his mouth to say that there were plenty of them in his farm, but for some reason he stopped talking.
That night, the rain gradually stopped, and everyone in the village knew it was the signal to set off.
In the second half of the night everyone was busy packing their luggage and feeding the mules and cows a full meal. After three days of rest, the originally thin livestock were now full of energy.
Several of the unconscious people woke up, and Su He gave each of them 10 kilograms of food as a settlement.
The rest were also taken care of by Aunt Luo, and when they woke up, they were allowed to take the food and leave on their own. Su He believed that she had done her best, and that the suffering of these people was not caused by her, and that they were even saved by their own families. Now she gave each of them a few days' worth of food, and she had a clear conscience.
As for the group of human traffickers, she had already asked Shunzi to check it out, and found that all of them had been reincarnated without exception.
Aunt Luo and the others didn't want to report to the police. If word got out about the human traffickers in their village, no one would be willing to stay in their village. Besides, they didn't like the traffickers, so after Su He gave them 100 taels of silver, they reached a tacit agreement that no one would admit that the traffickers had appeared in the future.
Several village heads felt sorry for the silver, but they had to give it 100 taels. After all, the six mules of this group of people were worth more than that. Aunt Luo didn't know about the silver that Su He and his friends had found, but she knew about the six mules.
Su He just bought it as if it were money.
This group of people had six carriages and six mules, all of which were left for the last group of people in the village who had no carriages or horses.
Now, everyone in Tianyuan Village got in their cars and moved forward.
Chen Wen was placed in the Wang family's carriage, together with Mu Tou Tietou, Miaomiao Tiantian, and Juhua. The person driving the carriage outside was Wang Bin.
Just like that, after staying in Plum Village for three nights, we set off again.
