Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 380
On the return carriage, Wen Shu's mind flashed Wang's expression from time to time, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

Even if what she said was true, she didn't want to admit it.

The grace of nurturing is greater than that of one's own life. On the day they abandoned her, it indicated that the fate was over, so why force it today.

Her father had worked so hard to bring her up, it was impossible for her to abandon him and go to the Prime Minister's house.

After thinking about it, she called up the control panel to check the progress of the system upgrade. After looking at it, she found that it had only moved one percent. Looking at the long progress bar, Wen Shu fell silent.

"Why is this upgrade so slow?"

She remembered that before, it seemed that the upgrade was completed in a quarter of an hour.

Xiaoxing said: [There is a qualitative change between the third level and the fourth level. If you want to activate the "fixed-point transmission" function, you need extremely precise time positioning and spatial positioning. The process is complicated, so it takes a long time. Please wait patiently. Hou. 】

Normally, Wen Shu would not be in a hurry, but now that Hong Ying is inside, she really hopes to hurry up.

"According to your estimate, how long will it take?"

"Fast is one day, slow is three or four days."

Wen Shu: .
Dare she be in a hurry before?However, this is also impossible.

Seeing that the system could not be successfully upgraded for a while, Wen Shu did not go home, because the days of waiting at home would only feel longer and longer.

Thinking that the cow he bought last time hadn't been seen yet, he simply turned the carriage around and went outside the city, intending to have a look.And the last time she asked Duan Er to investigate, she didn't know how he did, so it was time to ask.

The Lijia Village where the old man lived was near the tea shop, so Wen Shu chose to get off in front of the tea shop.First, I want to go in and drink a cup of thirsty water to moisten my throat. Second, I want to ask Mrs. Zhao how to get to Lijia Village.

Mrs. Zhao's natal family is in Lijia Village, so asking her is asking someone.

"The owner goes through this road." Mrs. Zhao pointed to the path opposite the tea shop, "Go straight ahead, Yao'er Village and Hu's Village, and half a mile ahead is Li's Village."

Wen Shu nodded, expressing that he had remembered, and set off after draining the water in the bowl.

The sun was hot and there were few pedestrians on the road. Wen Shu didn't want to get sunburned, so he took out the veiled hat and put it on. At the same time, he took out a small piece of ice from the storage basket and played with it in his hand.

The cold air spread from the palm of the hand to the body, and the person felt much cooler in an instant.

When they arrived at Lijia Village, it was already half an hour later.The sun started to go to the west, and farmers in twos and threes came out of their homes and carried wooden barrels to the fields to water the crops.

Under the guidance of the villagers, Wen Shu successfully found the Wang family in the west of the village.

There are three houses in the Wang family, but they are all rare thatched houses.

Because it is close to Kyoto, most of the people near Chengxiao live a good life, and most of the houses are mud-and-tiled houses, while there are fewer thatched houses like Wang's.

When Wen Shu came to the door, Uncle Wang was coming out with an empty bucket, and it seemed that he was also going to water the fields.

Seeing Wen Shu, he was surprised at first, and then enthusiastically welcomed her into the main room.

"Is the little lady here to lead the cow?" He rubbed his hands, looking a little nervous.

"No, I just recognize the door when I have nothing to do."

"Oh, that's it. Tie Zhu, hurry up and pour some sugar water, there are guests at home." Old Uncle Wang shouted to Westinghouse.

Not a moment later, a young man in his early twenties came out from inside, with a lazy expression, and he was still muttering: "What kind of guest? Is there any guest in our house, where is my mother?"

"Your mother can't hear you, you don't know." Old Uncle Wang drank.

The young man pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but didn't say much. He glanced at Wen Shu, then turned and went to the kitchen.After a while, he came out with a bowl of water.

"Is there any sugar?" Old Man Wang asked.

"I don't know where the sugar is."

"It's in the pottery urn in the cabinet of your mother's room and mine. Hurry up." Old Uncle Wang hated iron for being weak.

Seeing this, Wen Shu quickly shouted: "No need, drinking sugar water in hot weather is a bit boring, white water is just right, quenching thirst." Then, he took the bowl.

"Here, I don't want to drink sugar water." The young man became proud.

Uncle Wang was so angry that he didn't want to talk, so he scolded him again, told his mother to come out, and went to move a stool for Wen Shu to sit on.

After all, he was an elder, so Wen Shu had the nerve to ask him to move a stool for him, so he quickly picked a stool and sat down.Unexpectedly, I chose a bad stool, and it shook for a while as soon as I sat on it.

Seeing this, Old Uncle Wang hurriedly moved over a bench, and said embarrassingly: "That bench has been broken for a while, and it hasn't been emptied, so it hasn't been repaired. This one is sturdy for my lady to sit on."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Wen Shu asked while changing the stool: "Is there a carpenter in the village who can repair stools?"

Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, but very few people would send it for repairs, most of them would just do it at home, as long as they can sit on it."

Wen Shu didn't ask why he didn't send it.

Although her father basically repairs some small pieces of furniture for the neighbors every day, and does not charge money, she knows that not all carpenters are like this.

The reason why her father did this was to let the neighbors take care of her when she was a child. Although she gradually grew up, this has become a habit, so it is not easy to raise money.

While talking, the hostess of the house came in from the outside.

She was about fifty years old, her half-white hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, her dark face was covered with wrinkles, and there was a look of sadness between her brows and eyes.

Seeing her, he showed a smile, gestured with his hands, and babbled in a language she didn't understand.

Uncle Wang quickly explained: "She is very happy, and asked which family are you from?"

Wen Shu took off his drapery hat and smiled at her.

The two elders suddenly felt that the room was full of light, and only felt that they had seen a fairy.

In fact, Wen Shu is not a fairy at all in terms of appearance alone, but she has fair skin, almond eyes and peach cheeks, especially when she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and she looks very amiable.

In the eyes of the second elder who rarely sees a foreign lady, she is like a fairy.

Uncle Wang explained to the old woman and made gestures. Seeing that the woman was even happier, he gestured twice more, grabbed the bowl in front of Wen Shu and walked out.

"She said, she's going to pour you sugar water." Uncle Wang explained.

Wen Shu got up quickly: "No need, I'm already full, I can't pretend if I drink any more..." However, the old woman didn't hear her at all, and her figure had turned out of the main room.

Seeing this, Old Uncle Wang said: "Let her go, it's rare for her to be so happy. Later, the little lady will show her face and take a sip."

Hearing this, Wen Shu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Given the conditions of the Wang family, this candy is probably a very precious item, and I might not be willing to eat it at home.But they can happily brew such a precious thing for the guests who come to drink.

"Auntie's ears are natural, or...?"

"Natural, discovered when I was two or three years old."

"Have you seen the doctor?"

Old Uncle Wang shook his head, "How could I have that kind of money in those days, it would be nice to be able to eat a living." After that, he said: "After getting married, I took her to see it once, but the doctor said that she had it since she was a child. The problem is basically unrecoverable."

Hearing this, Wen Shu didn't know what to say.

If it was before, she would have said that she had a blind prescription that might cure deafness, and then hurried home to develop the Diaotang fruit, and then gave it to the old lady.

But after experiencing Xiao Sun's incident, she knows that many times, good intentions may do bad things.

However, it would be a pity if the things she obtained could not be put into practice and benefit the world.

So, is there any way to get the best of both worlds, since I continue to experiment with those "spiritual flowers and grasses", can I be exempted from responsibility?
