Chapter 133 Lan'er, Are You Going Into the Mountains to Become a Bandit?
In the yard, as the dishes were served one by one, the villagers could not help drooling with greed. Pork! Most of them had not seen pork for more than half a year. Suddenly, seeing a pot of fragrant pork being brought over, everyone was very excited.
After the steward of Shen Ruolan's household announced the start of the meal, everyone picked up their chopsticks, picked up the meat impatiently, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
In the main hall, Shen Ruolan said to Qin Zhen with an apologetic look on her face: "General Qin, due to limited conditions, there is no wine at today's banquet. I am really sorry."
The dishes on the table today, especially the pork, were bought from other villages at a high price. The chicken also cost her a lot of money. The only thing that was less troublesome was the fresh fish. Due to the heavy rain, many fish were washed up on the river bank. Her own people caught some of them, and some were bought from the villagers.
It was wine. She looked around but couldn't find a drop of wine. Finally, she had to give up.
Qin Zhen smiled at Shen Ruolan and said, "Miss Shen, I don't drink, but the dishes on this table are just what I like."
Shen Qi also said, "That's right. With so much fish and meat, why would you want to drink wine? Let's just eat our food."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
When the others saw the oldest one, Shen Qi, start eating, they all started eating.
Shen Ruolan handed the child to Aunt Liu and Aunt Shi, and sat down next to her grandfather.
It’s no wonder that during the one-month confinement period, Shen Ruolan had been eating eggs and chicken every day, and occasionally fish. Now, she suddenly ate pork, which made her savor the taste buds. The pork was so delicious, especially the braised pork. The meat stewed with soybeans was also very good.
In order to find his daughter, Shen Qi had been sleeping outdoors all day, and it was difficult for him to have a decent meal. Today's meal for his granddaughter was already a feast for him. While eating, he said to Shen Ruolan, "Lan'er, after grandpa goes to the capital, you can come back to Yan State with me. When you get there, you can do whatever you want and eat whatever you want. You don't have to be restricted."
After staying here for a few days, he saw with his own eyes how difficult it was for his granddaughter to prepare the ingredients for this table. So, after avenging his daughter, he wanted to take his granddaughter to the State of Yan.
Shen Qi's words made everyone at the table pause for a moment, especially Qin Zhen. He looked at Shen Ruolan in silence for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to eat his meal.
After Shen Ruolan heard what her grandfather said, she smiled at him and said, "Grandpa, I'm afraid I can't go to Yan State."
If she had met him earlier, she might have considered it, but now she has a large group of people to support, so going to Yan State is impossible.
When Village Chief Wu and his companions heard that Shen Ruolan would not go to Yan State, they all felt inexplicably relieved. To be honest, they really didn't want Shen Ruolan to leave, because with her in the village, everyone felt at ease.
After Shen Qi heard what Shen Ruolan said, he frowned and asked her, "Why?"
Shen Ruolan said: "Grandpa, I will tell you in detail when I have time."
"Okay." After Shen Qi finished speaking, he no longer mentioned the matter of going to Yan State. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
Half an hour later, the full moon banquet was held and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves. After the villagers finished eating, they all helped to wash the pots and dishes before leaving.
Qin Zhen also said goodbye to Shen Ruolan: "Miss Shen, now that the heavy rain has passed, the refugees have all gone back to their homes. It's time for me to leave too. Please take care of yourself here."
When Shen Ruolan heard that Qin Zhen was leaving, she paused for a moment and said to Qin Zhen, "I will. I wish General Qin a safe journey back home."
"Thank you." After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he nodded to Shen Qi, turned around and left.
After Shen Ruolan sent Qin Zhen away, she saw that the two children were still asleep, so she took out a pen and paper and began to write a plan.
She is now one month old and the weather is getting colder. She must get to the mountain before the cold wave comes, otherwise it will be too cold later and the children will freeze to death.
Suddenly, Ji Ning called out from outside: "Master, Master Shen is looking for you."
Shen Ruolan was writing a plan when she heard her grandfather calling her. She put down her pen, opened the door and asked, "Where is Grandpa?"
"In the main room." Ji Ning said.
Shen Ruolan came to the main hall and asked Shen Qi, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"
Shen Qi looked at Shen Ruolan and said, "Lan'er, you haven't told me yet, why don't you go to Yan State?"
After Shen Ruolan heard her grandfather's question, she turned back and said to Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, you step back first."
Ji Ning said: "Yes, Master."
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and walked out of the main hall, while also not allowing anyone else to get close to the main hall.
After Shen Ruolan made sure that there was no one around, she said to Shen Qi: "Grandpa, to be honest, I have raised more than 10,000 people in Nanshan. When my people arrive, I will go into the mountains, so I can't go to Yan State."
When Shen Ruolan said this, she suddenly understood something. She looked at Shen Qi fiercely and asked, "Grandpa, how did you find me? Did someone tell you about me?"
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard that his granddaughter had raised more than 10,000 people in Nanshan. When he came back to his senses, he looked Shen Ruolan up and down and asked in shock: "Lan'er, are you going to go into the mountains to become a bandit?"
He was very familiar with Nanshan. He had been fortunate enough to go there several times to collect herbs, and each time he came back in a miserable state. That place was the world of bandits and robbers.
Shen Ruolan said with a guilty look on her face: "Grandpa, I just want to find a place where I can stay without any restrictions. How can I be a bandit?"
Shen Qi frowned and said, "But as long as you go to that place, whether you are a bandit or an honest citizen, you will be liquidated by both countries in the future."
Nanshan is not a permanent residence, so he doesn't want her to go there.
Shen Ruolan smiled at Shen Qi and said, "If that day really comes, I will take everyone to seek refuge with Grandpa, okay?"
Seeing that his granddaughter was determined to go to Nanshan, Shen Qi had no choice but to agree reluctantly: "Okay, if you can't live in Nanshan anymore, you can move to Yanguo Yaowang Valley at any time."
Seeing that Shen Qi no longer forced her to go to Yan State, Shen Ruolan smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "Grandpa, you haven't told me yet, how did you find me?"
When Shen Qi heard his granddaughter asking about looking for her again, he had no choice but to tell her the truth: "I was in Yan State, and I heard someone say that there was a girl from the Shen family with great medical skills on the border of Beiming Cangling City. I guessed in my heart that it must be your mother, so I came here without stopping."
His youngest daughter also had a talent for medicine. If she had continued to study medicine, her medical skills would not be too bad. However, fate played a trick on him. His carelessness turned his originally good daughter into a life of misery.
