Chapter 202: Disappeared Into Thin Air
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
w.a.n.g Furong came back to her senses and entered Meng Jiang’s room carrying a wooden basin.
This water was for Meng Jiang to wipe his face. Fie was seriously injured and had not fully recovered yet. Fie had been recuperating in the house during this period of time. Coupled with the cold weather, Tian Niu was even more unwilling to let him out of the house.
w.a.n.g Furong put down the wooden basin and wrung a handkerchief dry before going up to Meng Jiang to wipe his face.
Flowever, Meng Jiang avoided her touch in embarra.s.sment. “No need. I’ll do it myself.”
w.a.n.g Furong avoided his hand and stood at the side with her head lowered.
She said in an aggrieved manner, “Brother Jiang, do you despise me?”
Meng Jiang was an honest and righteous young man. Fie was not the kind of person who would play cunning tricks. When he saw w.a.n.g Furong standing there with a dejected expression, he panicked. “No, that’s not it. Don’t misunderstand. I… 1 mean… I can move my hands so I can do these things myself. 1 don’t need to trouble you.”
w.a.n.g Furong was still dejected. “I… I can’t do much. I’m just afraid that if I can’t even do such a small thing for Brother Jiang, then if Aunt thinks that I’m useless and chases me out in the future, I… I really won’t have anywhere to go. Boo hoo hoo…”
She started crying after she finished speaking. Meng Jiang panicked even more. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. It won’t happen, it won’t happen. Mother won’t chase you away. Don’t worry.”
w.a.n.g Furong raised her aggrieved eyes. “Really?”
Meng Jiang nodded. “Mm-hmm. It’s true. It’s true. It’s absolutely true. I promise.”
w.a.n.g Furong broke into a smile when she heard him say that. “Thank you, Brother Jiang. I… I’ll help you wipe your face.”
Meng Jiang was afraid that she would cry again if he rejected her, so he could only let her wipe his face.
When Tian Niu came to the outside of the room, she frowned when she saw the two of them behaving in such an intimate manner. She felt that this was not appropriate. “Are your hands crippled? You still need someone to wipe your face? In the future, let me know what you want to do. Let’s see if I spoil you. Furong, go out and boil the water first. In a while, everyone will come to slaughter the bisons. You should boil more water to standby.”
w.a.n.g Furong quickly stopped what she was doing and went out with the basin.
After she left, Tian Niu entered the room and glared at her son. “Don’t you have hands? Must other people do everything for you? Don’t you have any shame?”
Meng Jiang was really speechless. “Mother, I’m not…”
“Enough. From now on, if you need anything, just call me. Keep a distance from the young girl. Don’t let others gossip and ruin her reputation.”
Meng Jiang nodded obediently.
Tian Niu left the room after issuing her instructions. She had previously thought that it was fine to take w.a.n.g Furong in, but she felt a little uncomfortable after the girl ran into Meng Jiang’s room too many times. It was not that she did not know anything. This young girl’s intentions were too obvious.
If she was really interested in her son, then it was not that Tian Niu could not fulfill her wish. Flowever, the girl’s scheming thoughts were almost written all over her face. She did not like this kind of girl who was not honest enough. After the New Year, she had to think of a way to make the girl leave.
Today, everyone was busy processing the bisons.
Although Su Ying had more people on her side, it wasn’t easy for her side to process the bisons either.
After Su Ying settled the children down, she went to the backyard to help.
Number One and the others had already dragged all the bisons into the yard. Subtracting the ones they had given out, there were still eight bisons left. Even if they had more people, it was still enough to feed them for several days.
As there were not enough stoves, Number One and the others used stones to temporarily build two stoves outside in the courtyard and took out the extra pots to boil water.
Su Ying took a knife and went forward to skin the bisons.
“This cowhide is not bad for making shoes.” Zhang Cuiniang carried the cowhide that Su Ying had cut off to one side. There was so much cowhide. After processing them, they could be made into shoes that were waterproof and warm. They were most suitable to wear in winter and during the colder months of spring.
“Does Madam Zhang know how to make?” It would be great if the cowhide could be made into shoes.
“Yes, Mistress. Keep all the cowhide. I’ll deal with them when I’m done with my ch.o.r.es.”
“Alright.”
Su Ying told everyone to peel off all the cowhide without damaging them and retain them.
“Good heavens. The knife has become blunt from chopping this bison bone.” Murong De didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the kitchen knife which already had a badly chipped edge.
Flea Shouyi’s body was covered in bison blood. “Make do with a firewood machete first.”
Murong De smiled helplessly and could only pick up the firewood machete to continue chopping. After separating the bones and flesh, he cleared out a corner of the kitchen to store these bison bones. These bison bones could be used to make soup so they couldn’t bear to throw them away.
They planned to finish processing the beef tonight, so they asked Aunt Zhao and the others to make some simple dishes for dinner. After everyone was full, they continued to process the beef. Finally, all the beef was processed before midnight.
Su Ying washed away the smell of blood on her body and lay down on the bed. The two little fellows had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
The moment she closed her eyes, a whistling sound suddenly rang out through the air. The tiger that was chained up in the corner of the courtyard stood up and looked around.
A black figure came to the tree where Su Ying had dealt with the tiger today. Fie squatted down to check the traces on the ground, only to discover a vague human footprint on the ground. Flow was this possible? Flis tiger had just disappeared into thin air.
Fie took out his whistle and blew it continuously. Then, he waited on the spot. Flowever, he kept waiting until the sky was about to brighten, but the tiger still did not appear.
Fie punched the tree beside him, causing the trunk to cave in. Then, he followed the footsteps on the ground to the foot of the mountain. Fie stood on the slope and looked at the tracks left by the bisons. Following that, he raised his head to look at the Tiger Base behind the defensive wall. Flis eyes narrowed. Thereafter, he suddenly turned around and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Su Ying woke up early on New Year’s Eve. This was her first New Year in this world, and just as her battles comrades had told her before, there should be a sense of ceremony.
Therefore, she changed into the new clothes made by Bai Shuang and the rest, put on new shoes, and tied her long hair into a ponytail.
After making herself look refreshed and sharp, she returned to the bed and woke the two little fellows up. She had also prepared new clothes for them.
Today, they planned to invite all the area chiefs from the various districts over for a reunion dinner to promote better development of the Tiger Base for next year.
Therefore, Flea Shouyi and the others started to prepare the ingredients for tonight first thing in the morning. If they were inviting people over, they would have to cook for at least 100 people. The workload was not a joke.
Bai Shuang and the others had also woken up early in the morning to go to the backyard to help.
“You two little lazy worms, it’s time to get up.”
Su Ying pinched the noses of those two little fellows. The two little fellows snorted before they started to squirm and get up.
After Su Ying helped them change their clothes, she pinched their increasingly round little faces in satisfaction. Moreover, she realized that they had all grown taller, and their tiny faces had become fair and tender. They were no longer as sallow and emaciated as before.
“You guys have grown taller. Go play with Brother Lin Sheng later. Don’t wander around outside, okay?”
“Got it, Mother. We are going to play with Brother Lin Sheng.” The two little ones gave a loud cheer and rushed outside to have fun..
