Create a home with a system

Chapter 36 Return to Base Camp

Not long after, an urgent cry came from the next door, "It's on fire, it's on fire, put out the fire! Come on, help put out the fire!"

Du Chunyue immediately recognized that it was Aunt Tao's voice, and got up in panic. When she stumbled out of the house, she found thick smoke billowing from the next door.

At this time, many villagers heard the movement and rushed here. When they saw Du Chunyue, the kind aunt reminded: "You girl, don't come out at night, and quickly close the courtyard door and go into the house. Don't worry, today The evening wind is not blowing towards your house, and it can't burn it here."

Saying that, the aunt hurried to put out the fire.

Du Chunyue stayed for a while, then quickly closed the courtyard door, turned around and ran back to the house, just leaning against the door and listening carefully to the voices outside, feeling scared for a while.

There has been a lot of noise outside, and I don't know how long the noise has been. Some people are shouting to splash water, but no one is willing to pay for this scoop of water at this moment, unless the Tao family is willing to pay for it.

Du Chunyue heard Aunt Tao's crying and cursing through the door, as if the sound hit her heart, she was so scared that her face was as white as paper.

Here Tangning and the second idiot had already left the village and were almost on their way to the base camp.

When the figures of the two appeared in everyone's sight, Tang Rou, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly got up excitedly and rushed towards them.

Tangning caught him firmly, wondering, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Is your fever down? If she's still not well, I have medicine here, so I can give it to her."

Speaking of which, Tangning put down the basket directly. There were several tubes of water on top and two packs of herbs underneath.

With tears in her eyes, Tang Rou nodded her head and shook her head, leaving Tang Ning in a daze.

It was Jiang who came over with Tang Xie in his arms and said softly, "Nizi is fine. Ah Rou is worried about you. She has been looking at the official road sideways since the evening. During this period, several teams passed by. We are worried."

"If you don't come back again, I will go back and find someone." Tang Zheng came over to take the basket and said half seriously and half jokingly.

Only then did Tangning heave a sigh of relief, and accepted everyone's welcome together with the idiot.

Tang Zheng put the bamboo tube in the back basket on the donkey cart, and his expression became much more relaxed, "With this water, we can wait for at least three to five days. After discussing with Dad and Uncle, they finally decided to go on the road overnight. Shangguan said .”

Tangning's complexion changed, and before she could say anything, she hurriedly said, "No, Miss Du's matter has not been resolved yet, Ah Ning has already promised to meet at noon tomorrow, and if we want to leave, we have to wait until after noon tomorrow .”

"What's going on?" Tang Junsheng looked at Tangning suspiciously.

Tangning had no choice but to tell everyone what happened that day, "Miss Chunyue took us to the county seat. I inquired about some information and sold the mountain chestnuts that I had carried all the way before, and exchanged them for some copper coins. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford these herbal medicines."

Her pannier has been on her body since the day she left the house. Except when she took it off and put it next to her when she was sleeping, the others thought it contained her personal things and didn't think much about it, let alone have the time to check it. Half-truth, half-false, false and true, others can't pursue it even if they want to.

Tang Zhong gave her a thumbs up in admiration, "Sister, you are still amazing. You never forget to bring some good things when you go out. Those mountain chestnuts will definitely sell for a good price in the county."

Tangning nodded, but she didn't say how much she sold. Fortunately, everyone didn't focus on this, so she didn't ask further.

Wei Dazhi frowned and pondered: "Is this Miss Du you mentioned reliable? What if she sells us?"

Before the second idiot could retort, Tang Ning said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wei. I made an appointment with her on the mountain outside their village. I'll go there to watch at dawn tomorrow, and observe quietly. She is in the light and I am in the dark. If She brought others up the mountain, I can find out immediately, and then just go for a walk, if she is free to go up the mountain alone, it means that she is fine, then I will show up again, in short, I will not put her away until I make sure she is fine. She brought it back."

This was the solution that Tangning had been thinking about for a long time.

Wei Dazhi looked amazed, and nodded with a smile, "Success! You have brains and courage, and most importantly, you have a good heart. I can't go wrong with what you say!"

Speaking of Wei Dazhi, he looked at Tang Junsheng again, "Brother Tang, what I said before was from the bottom of my heart. You should think about it carefully. I really like this girl, Aning."

"Hmph!" Tang Junsheng interrupted Wei Dazhi's thoughts with a dark face, got up and served Tangning with some food, his heart ached, "I'm tired after running all day, fill your stomach and go to sleep, tomorrow's business Let's talk tomorrow."

In other words, he had no problem with Tangning's arrangement.

Tang Laoer would not object even more. If she rested for one more day, she would be able to take care of her for another day. Although the fever was reduced by taking medicine, her body was still weak.

At this time, Tangning took out two more eggs from her bosom, and said to Jiang, "Mother, now that there is water, you boil these two eggs into egg drop soup for everyone to drink, at least it can make up for it."

The eggs were bought from the system, two three Wen, although they were cheap, but she didn't dare to take them out for fear of being questioned.

Sure enough, when Jiang saw the eggs, he was pleasantly surprised. When he really asked about the origin, Tangning told a random lie, saying that there were only two eggs.

With the egg drop soup, everyone's faces also had more smiles, and Jiang specially made some more eggs for Nizi to make up for it.

Hearing the child's soft and waxy voice, Tangning felt that the messy bowl of food in her hand instantly became much sweeter.

Tangning woke up before dawn the next day. After so many days, her laziness had long since disappeared. Instead, she was alert to the environment. Everyone was resting, and Tang Zheng and the second idiot were keeping watch.

Tangning was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked towards Tang Zheng, and whispered, "Brother, I'm leaving first."

"Wait, I warmed up two steamed buns for you." Tang Zheng handed the two steamed steamed buns to Tang Ning, and said, "Be careful, if you haven't come back before Shen Shi, I'll kill you." Look for you."

Tangning paused, nodded in agreement, carried her pannier on her back, put on a sickle for self-defense, and walked away in such a cool way.

Tang Zheng and the second fool watched behind her for a long time, and they didn't look away until they disappeared.

The second fool rubbed his nose and muttered depressingly: "Brother Ah Zheng, I think Ah Ning is worse than men, at least I am not as good as her."

Although admitting that he was ashamed to be inferior to a girl, Er Lengzi still spoke out his heart, and at the same time, he also wanted to ease Tang Zheng's heart.

Tang Zheng was amused, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm not as good as that girl."

The second fool: "Huh?"
