Chapter 214 Knowing one’s own warmth and coldness
After listening to Han Mingxiang's story, everyone was glad for themselves.
He was glad that he did not encounter these evil bandits, and he sighed for the fate of Han Mingxiang and others, but he was also happy that they could come back.
When Tiehua and the other eleven women arrived, no one asked about their past.
Because the people in Taohuayuan saw too much during their escape from famine, especially the experiences of women.
Either they were sold by their families, or by their husbands’ families, or they were abducted and sold…
It's nothing more than these situations.
No matter which situation, asking them is just to open their bleeding wounds once again. What else can it do except to make them feel pain and sadness?
Not asking or mentioning it is good for them and a kind of protection for them.
In the days to come, we will help them as much as we can, and let them live a quiet and good life here. That's all.
Tiehua and her friends are eleven women. In fact, what they fear most is people's excessive attention and inquiries to them after arriving here.
Such as: Where are your parents? Are you married? Where is your husband? How did you get here?
This kind!
But what they worried about, nothing happened!
Some are just warm and smiling faces, asking if you are cold, hungry, thirsty or tired.
When they sat at the table and ate with everyone else, with the rice in their bowls being the same as everyone else's, or even fuller and with more meat, all their worries vanished into thin air over the Peach Blossom Spring.
So they finished the meal in silence with tears in their eyes.
After listening to Han Mingxiang's story, they all looked at Han Shulan with envy.
I envy her for having such a loving and loyal husband who would jump into the flood without caring about his own life and death and drift away with her.
Huang Shanhua and Liu Laidie kept wiping their tears and spoke to Han Mingxiang.
"Thank you, thank you Mingxiang! If it weren't for you, our Shulan would, would..."
"Our Shulan has really found a good husband."
They kept praising Li Lanzhen.
Han Mingxiang shook his head.
"No, no, Shulan helped me a lot along the way. We encountered a rainstorm on the way and there was no place to hide from the rain. We walked for more than an hour in the rain before we came across a dilapidated land temple.
I ended up having a fever at night, and it was Shulan who put cold water on my forehead and wiped my hands and feet all night long, which brought my temperature down."
Li Lanzhen also continued.
"It is my son's blessing to marry Shulan, a good girl!
When the house is finished, I will hold a wedding banquet for you, marry you a wife, and drink wine!"
Han Yibai quickly said, "Grandma, I want more candy."
Everyone laughed.
Li Lanzhen said, "Yes, yes, yes. We also want to eat candy and set off fireworks."
……
There is still residual heat under the iron pot, so the food in the pot is always warm.
Whoever is not full can go to the pot and eat whatever he wants.
Just like that, the moon rose, the bonfire was lit, and everyone was still talking and laughing lively.
Even the children didn't seem sleepy today. They were laughing and playing happily.
With more people, food tastes better and work is easier.
After dinner, the women carried the pots and bowls and went to the reed marsh to wash them.
Burn a pile of reed ash, and use the ash to wash pots and dishes and remove grease. It is very useful.
The adults wiped the children's greasy mouths and washed their greasy hands.
Just take them to bed.
Sure enough, Zhihua kept chasing after Li Lanzhen.
When it was time to sleep, they climbed up the tree house. Originally, Li Lanzhen had always slept on the outside, but tonight, Zhihua occupied this side of hers alone.
Han Mingxiang went to sleep in the boys' dormitory, and Han Shulan also wanted to sleep in the girls' dormitory.
Stopped by her mother, Liu Zhaodi drove Han Shunde away. Huang Shanhua came over with Ruyi in her arms, and the four of them slept in a tree house.
Han Shunde and Han Zhaoxiong slept in the same tree house.
Lingjiao did not go to the girls' dormitory either. She was pulled by Shanxing and Lihua to their tree house.
After their stomachs were full, the mattresses were warm, the quilts were thick, and those who did not have pillows went to the carpentry room and received a straw pillow.
Soft and elastic.
If you think the pillow is too short, you can stuff it with straw.
Flatten the thatch with a stone, roll it into a ball, tear it into the shape of a pillow, and stuff it into the straw pillow.
When Li Lanzhen first saw this straw pillow, she was amazed!
They are so clever that they can weave bright pillows using humble straw and reeds.
That night, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep.
Including the children, they went to bed much later than usual.
With the addition of new partners and hearing so many thrilling things, they were very excited and satisfied.
If you want to satisfy yourself, you can come to this paradise, eat well, sleep well, and play with friends, without having to worry about being bullied, killed, or sold by others!
Old Master Xu was lying on the bed, dozing with his eyes closed.
But my heart is in turmoil!
When I arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring, everything I saw and heard was something I had never seen or heard before!
He liked the atmosphere here very much, even though they all came from the countryside and were farmers who were looked down upon by the rich families.
But that kind of enthusiasm, warmth and kindness towards people was something he had never enjoyed before.
He was really grateful, thank God for letting him meet Li Lanzhen and Silver Fox.
We are also grateful to Li Lanzhen and Silver Fox for their kindness in bringing this couple, old and young, to live here.
He saw that there were so many children here, most of whom could not read or go to school.
He found the value of coming here!
I have to have a serious discussion with Li Lanzhen tomorrow.
Can he build a private school in Taohuayuan? He wants to teach the children here everything he has learned throughout his life!
After dinner, Silver Fox and the three secret guards went to the reed river to wash up, and then disappeared.
No one paid any attention to them because everyone knew they were very skilled in martial arts, so they were not afraid that they would be in any danger.
The four of them ran all the way to the West Mountain and stopped in an open place.
An Er quickly checked the surroundings, then came back and nodded to Silver Fox.
The quick-talking Xiaowu said.
"Master, did you notice? Young Master, there is still..."
"Shut up! Don't say anything!"
Silver Fox stopped him from saying the next word.
Xiaowu said to Silver Fox with a wronged look on his face.
"But Master, the young master knows me, have you forgotten? One year you turned me over to the public and made me follow you as your follower.
We have been taking the young master out to play.
When we were eating just now, he kept looking at me but didn't say anything.
I think he has recognized me, but I don't know if he has recognized you, Master."
Silver Fox has mixed feelings!
He searched all over the world for his relatives, but he didn't expect that he would be here.
A little kid, with his little sister, no one knows how he escaped and ran here!
After we parted at the entrance of the alley that day, I didn't know what happened to him, but he chose to run away alone with his sister without waiting for me!
I don’t know how he wandered from the capital to Youzhou City!
But looking at them now, they have grown taller and both have rounder faces.
It seems that Aunt Lan Zhen treats them very well!
He did not rashly ask Li Lanzhen to reveal the identities of the two children.
He thought about meeting him tomorrow!
