Chapter 200 Creek Village
The three of them took turns discussing what they needed to prepare.
And so they got busy, cleaning the house, catching fish and rabbits, buying meat and vegetables... They started preparing for this special New Year's Eve dinner two days in advance.
Meanwhile, the two main characters of this meal, Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan, had already driven their mule cart down a side road towards Xishui Village.
The distance between Youxian Village and Xishui Village is not far; you can reach them in less than half an hour by going down this fork in the road.
Therefore, the two villages interacted frequently, had a good relationship, and had the most intermarriages.
Creek Village, as the name suggests,
A long stream flows through the village, with houses of varying heights and builds on both sides, supporting villagers who make a living by farming and raising livestock.
Although it's called Xishui Village (Stream Village), it's not just about water. The resources in the two mountains at the end of the village are also a source of sustenance for their lives.
Compared to a mountain like Youxian Mountain, whose peaks are nowhere to be seen and whose edges are nowhere to be touched, the two adjacent mountains in Xishui Village are much like the mountains they climbed during their elementary school field trips.
Therefore, the variety of wild animals inside is very limited. Catching a tiger or a bear is practically impossible.
and so!
"So, we really don't need to! We can see the top of this mountain at a glance, what kind of amazing thing could we possibly find there! Let's go, let's get down to business, stop looking!"
Hunters typically live at the edge of a village, at the foot of a mountain. This was the case with Ning Linlan's family, the only hunter family in Xishui Village.
So, enduring the curious stares of the villagers, they asked for directions again and again until they finally arrived at the Ning family's door.
Before Lin Chunyi could even knock on the door, Lin Lanshan, the "wild man of the valley," saw the mountain behind the house, and the wild man genes in her body were activated.
If I really want to go up and see what's different about it compared to Youxian Mountain, then I'd like to.
What could possibly happen? Even if there were, would you really let her go and catch it...?
“We’ve been wandering around the same mountain every day, it’s so rare to run into someone different!” Lin Lanshan pouted, her eyes still darting around the mountain path.
"Once you change your household registration to Xishui Village, I'll definitely let you go up there, okay? Even if you want to move to this mountain to live, I won't have any objections!"
People from Youxian Village went to the mountains of Xishui Village to investigate and capture people, vying for the livelihood resources of the villagers of Xishui Village.
Do you think the villagers of Xishui Village are compassionate bodhisattvas who would cut off their own flesh to feed others?
Her younger sister has never been beaten.
Lin Chunyi, holding a bag of wolf jerky in one hand and pulling her younger sister along with the other, walked to the door. "Knock on the door, or we won't get our lunch hot."
"knock knock"
Lin Lanshan knocked on the gate of this ordinary, detached courtyard with a dejected look.
"Creak~" Hurried footsteps came from behind the door. As the door opened, someone asked, "Who is it?"
The woman who opened the door was about thirty years old.
She was dressed in a plain-colored dress and looked about five or six parts like Ning Linlan; both of them had a gentle appearance at first glance.
If it weren't for the coiled-up woman's headdress and the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, she would probably be mistaken for Ning Linlan's older sister of the same age.
At least that's what Lin Lanshan subconsciously thought, and that's what she said.
"Excuse me, are you Ning Linlan's older sister? We are her friends. My name is Lin Lanshan, and this is my older sister, Lin Chunyi. We've come to visit her."
elder sister?
Sigh, this sister of mine has intermittent brain problems! Lin Chunyi sighed, covered her face, and didn't want to say anything.
The woman was also stunned for a moment, blinked several times without refuting, and the smile on her face grew deeper and deeper.
"Oh, so you're Lan's good friend! Come in, come in. She often talks about you two, saying you're wonderful in every way. I'm so glad to finally meet you today, and you're just as she described."
The woman was very hospitable; she pulled the two men and their mule cart right over and led them inside.
"Then we'll have to trouble you." Unable to refuse, the two followed him inside.
Stepping inside, you'll see a small courtyard with square plots of land cultivated on the left, where vegetables are grown.
To the right is an open space with a large tree.
Under the big tree, various animal pelts of all sizes were spread out and hung. There were also some wooden racks, stools, and knives nearby.
The courtyard was about the same size as their inner courtyard, and it was also filled with a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
The mule cart was tied to a tree. The woman led them into the house, and couldn't help but touch her face with her right hand, laughing out loud.
"Your name is Lanshan, right? You're quite the smooth talker, little girl, hahaha. Am I really that young? Do I really look like Lan's older sister? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The only thing that doesn't quite match her gentle appearance is her laughter, which sounds a little like a barbell.
Lin Lanshan exclaimed "Huh?" and turned to look at her sister, her expression somewhat puzzled and her eyes full of questions.
"This fool!" Lin Chunyi didn't know how to tell her for a moment that this woman was obviously Ning Linlan's mother!
Just then, a loud shout came from inside the house, "Mom, who's talking to you outside? The old man said he won't serve dinner until you come back, hurry up! I just had a fight with him, and I'm starving!"
It was Ning Linlan's voice.
"Boom!"
It was the sound of a fist landing on his head.
"You brat, did you just get a beating and not feel better? How dare you talk like that? I'm not old at all!" You're not even forty yet, you're still a young man!
It was Ning Linlan's father, Ning Qian, shouting.
"Ouch~ I'm not very bright to begin with, if you keep hitting me, I'll really become an idiot! Mom, Dad hit my head again!"
Ning Linlan was hit on the head and ran outside while howling.
"You dare to tattle! Ning Linlan, you little brat, don't you dare run away, take another punch from me!"
"..." Two voices vibrated in the ears of the Lin sisters, and all they could think was: The Ning family is so energetic so early in the morning, it's really, well, pretty good.
The woman who was chatting and laughing with the two sisters as they walked down the steps of the main hall was Madam Ning, Su Nianqiu.
Enraged by the father and daughter's loud, boisterous voices, which sounded like monkeys in a theater, he could no longer maintain his smile and began to grit his teeth and clench his fists.
Knowing there are people outside, they still made such a scene, embarrassing themselves right under the guests' noses. Once the guests leave, neither the old man nor the child will escape a beating!
Having finally confirmed the woman's identity, Lin Chunyi said to her apologetically, "So you are Madam Ning. My younger sister is young and ignorant, and please forgive her if she has offended you in any way."
You look only twenty-four, and you look so much like Sister Ning, no one would believe that you are actually Sister Ning's mother..."
Lin Lanshan could only smile awkwardly, then stepped forward, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and bowed her head, saying, "This humble woman meant no harm, please forgive me, Madam Ning."
Help! She really wants to go back to the castle and scratch her toes!
