Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

After wiping her mouth, Xiaoxiao remembered that she should put another matter on the agenda.

[Space baby, the other food we planted is almost ripe, right?]

After planting a lot of rice and wheat, Xiaoxiao thought that she did not lack points, so she started to exchange for other grain seeds from the space. With the enhancement of five times the speed, most of them could be harvested in less than 20 days.

The space showed her the projection of the farmland. Looking at the golden corn and glutinous rice in the field, Xiaoxiao could not help but smile. At this moment, a pair of hands grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. Rong Yan’s angry voice rang in her ears. “What are you doing!” “Previously, you said that you wouldn’t let Uncle Ning use such a silly method to catch leeches. Why did you do it yourself?”

“You can tell me if you’re worried about affecting the rice field. I’ll get Yun Yi and the others to help. Can’t a few men handle those insects? Do you have to be distant from me over such a small matter?”

Seeing that the little girl did not react, he regretted scaring her with his harsh tone. Hence, he added awkwardly, “I’m just worried about you.” “Quickly extend your hand for me to see if you’ve been bitten.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything just now because she was too surprised. It was rare for Little Big Brother to say so much in one go. Although his tone was a little fierce, every word was filled with worry for her. Of course, she couldn’t be so ungrateful and angry with him. When she heard the last sentence, she obediently reached out her hand.

“Little Big Brother, don’t worry. I’m not that great. I even feel silly when Buddha cuts off his flesh to feed the eagles. How can I do such an idiotic act of using myself as bait?”

Rong Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then what are you doing?”

Xiaoxiao pretended to move a crayfish out of her space. “I’m looking at this.” In the future, crayfish were invaders from abroad, let alone in ancient times. Hence, Rong Yan, who was knowledgeable, rarely looked stunned. “What’s this? It looks a little like prawns, but it seems to be fiercer.”

Pfft, Xiaoxiao, who was amused by Little Big Brother’s description, grinned. “They’re probably relatives.”

“I just saw it eating leeches.”

It was true. Rong Yan and Xiaoxiao sat side by side on the field for a long time. Xiaoxiao even took out a snack box from the grass pile at the side and ate it with him.

It was such a simple daily routine, but Rong Yan felt his heart gradually calm down.

Xiaoxiao asked, “Little Big Brother, is there something on your mind right now?”

Rong Yan wanted to say no, but what he said was, “I’m thinking who chose to betray me and why he did it.”

Xiaoxiao immediately asked, “Are you going to find that person?”

Rong Yan paused. “Sometimes, you’re so smart that you don’t look like an ordinary little girl who grew up in the Fortune Village.”

Xiaoxiao said very humbly, “Perhaps I’m a fairy from the sky and God sent me down to save the world, so Little Big Brother, you can come to me to confide in me if you feel uncomfortable.”

Rong Yan really asked, “Then what do you think I should do with that person?” Hearing the conflict in his words, Xiaoxiao sighed. “As the saying goes, a pitiful person must have something hateful. A hateful person must have something to pity. It can be seen that evil people always have their reasons for doing evil.” Rong Yan thought that Xiaoxiao would persuade him to be lenient like all the soft-hearted girls, but he heard her say, “Then don’t care about those reasons. He betrayed you. You just have to pursue this point.”

Rong Yan realized that he was being pretentious. Xiaoxiao was right. Why was he thinking so much? The most important thing now was to find the traitor and expose Yan Lu’s evil deeds.

After thinking it through, Rong Yan could already calmly mention to the guards that Han Qing had come and found the bamboo slip. “I’ll go to the Shen Residence tomorrow. When Han Qing comes, he can unlock the secret signal on the bamboo slip.”

He turned around and asked, “Which one of you is going with me?”

Yun Er reacted the fastest. He raised his arm. “Master, let me do it!”

Rong Yan lowered his eyes and hummed sleepily.

Whether it was catching a spy or finding Yan Lu’s mistakes, it was not something that could be told to anyone. Even Mrs. Shen only knew that County Magistrate Shen tossed and turned all night and did not sleep well. He even asked her to leave the mansion early in the morning.

Mrs. Shen sensed that something was wrong, but her husband looked serious. Obviously, it was not something that could be fooled. Therefore, she could only hold County Magistrate Shen’s hand and say with a smile, “Then wait for me to come back for dinner.”

County Magistrate Shen patted the back of his wife’s hand. “You might be busy until very late today. Why don’t you go to Fragrance Restaurant or ask Little Girl Ning to join you?”

Mrs. Shen got angry. “I don’t care. I won’t eat it if you don’t accompany me.”

County Magistrate Shen smiled. “Okay, okay, I’ll go with you.”

Bowen Academy was on holiday today, but Rong Yan disappeared early in the morning. It was rare for Ning Ansheng to rest, so he stayed at home to read books and help his sister tidy up the kitchen.

Yesterday, she caught a strange prawn that no one knew from the rice field and said that she wanted to fiddle with it to eat it. Her family objected strongly, afraid that she would eat something wrong. However, they could not dissuade her from doing so, so they could only arrange for her eldest brother, who was the best at controlling her, to keep an eye on her.

Xiaoxiao’s pot was fragrant. The crayfish turned red as she shook the pot, and its body curled up.

[Ding… Gourmet Thirteen Spices Crayfish has been successfully recorded for the first time. You have received 500 points. Current total points are 53,500.] Smelling the fragrance, Ning Anhui whispered into his brother’s ear, “Big Brother, smell it. Perhaps this thing can really be eaten?”

Ning Ansheng glared at him. “You only know how to eat!”

Sigh, Ning Anhui couldn’t take it anymore. “I can even earn money!”

”…” Ning Ansheng, the only person in the family who didn’t earn money and still spent money.

Seeing that he was silent, Ning Anhui scratched his head and comforted him. “Big Brother, I’ll take care of the family and earn money in the future. I won’t let my sister and parents suffer. Don’t worry about studying and don’t feel guilty. Although our Grandpa has many other issues, his persistence in Studying isn’t wrong. It wasn’t easy for our family to have someone talented. You can’t delay it…”

Ning Anhui chuckled and continued, “I know that my younger sister asked me to be a shopkeeper partly to find a livelihood for me, and partly because she hoped that I would read more and learn more so that I would have the thought of studying. However, I’ve tried. I really can’t take in sages’ books. You’re different from me. You were born to study. If the Ning Family is lucky enough to produce a scholar, it will definitely be you.”

What he did not say was that there had to be someone at home to take care of things. Instead of letting him stumble and force himself to become a dabbler, but let his parents and sisters work day and night, it was better for him to share the burden of the family so that Big Brother would be free of distractions. What was that word again? Oh right, it was twice the result with half the effort.

Ning Ansheng was stunned. He had always thought that his younger brother was not serious and only had money and food in his mind. He did not expect his younger brother to have thought so much before he knew it.

The brothers grew up together and their tacit understanding far exceeded that of others. They reached a consensus in just a few sentences, but they did not know that Xiaoxiao, who was in front of the stove, had sharp ears and eyes and heard their words..
