Chapter 108 The Adventures of Little Niuniu
Grandma Jin was talking about helping Shen Nanzhi find a teacher to open a private school. As the Jin family is a long-established scholarly family in the county, the teacher they recommend must be someone with real knowledge.
Shen Nanzhi spared no effort to get closer to the Jin family and even cheated to save the old man's life, all for the teacher.
Since ancient times, who hasn't devoted all their efforts to children's education?
Shen Nanzhi thanked him and said, "It would be best to find a gentleman with an open-minded personality, and the younger the better, so that I can pay more tuition. The main reason is that my uncle Niu's child is too naughty, and I am afraid that the gentleman cannot control him.
If I get angry again when I’m old, it will be my fault.”
Mrs. Jin agreed with him: "It is true. My master doesn't even teach in a private school now. When he sees a naughty child, he pulls his beard off and gets so angry that he can't eat.
I will help you keep an eye out for a young, educated gentleman who can withstand the scourge."
Shen Nanzhi laughed out loud, "Grandma is right, I think so too. Let's have tea together when we have time in the future."
"Of course, it's not easy for you either. From now on, if anyone in this city dares to scold you, I will scold them back for you."
She was talking about the Xie family. The reason why she was so impressed with Shen Nanzhi was because the Xie sisters slandered her all day long. Shen Nanzhi's reputation is not good now.
“Thank you, but I don’t care what others say. No one can control their mouths.
I have a clear conscience and I just want to be upright and do what I want.”
"Miss Shen is a very insightful person."
Grandma Jin admired her even more and was reluctant to let her go. Shen Nanzhi managed to get away with great difficulty because Grandma Jin was so talkative.
……
The teacher's matters have been settled. Shen Nanzhi needs to prepare the study room as soon as possible and wait for the teacher's arrival at any time.
After buying some snacks and eating, San Gouzi was about to go out, and subconsciously called out, "Sister Shen, you're back."
Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows: "This is my home, I can't come back?"
San Gouzi said nervously: "No, Sister Shen, that's not what I meant."
He was restrained and cautious, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "I'm sorry, Sister Shen, I was wrong."
Shen Nanzhi sighed inwardly and helped him up. This child was really too sensitive and fragile. He was afraid of angering me and being kicked out. It was so pitiful. "Don't kneel down at every turn, as if I were scolding a child.
I just said that, I didn't mean to blame you, what are you doing?"
San Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief, his black grape-like eyes radiating joy. Sister Shen was really kind-hearted and said, "I'll go help Brother Liao. He gives me ten cents a day, which is enough to buy ten black-faced steamed buns."
"Are you short of food?"
San Gouzi: "No, I just don't want to eat for free. My sister works hard to earn money, and I want to share some of the burden with her."
Shen Nanzhi stopped making things difficult for the child. "Go, come back early, don't forget that you still have to take care of little Niuniu."
"Big Ni'er and Second Ni'er will take care of her. I don't have to accompany her all the time. Don't worry, Sister Shen."
"Go."
Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and stuffed a snack into his hand, "Eat it on the way."
"Thank you sister."
San Gouzi took the snack, a little bit unbelievable. Sister Shen was giving him snacks. Such sweet and soft snacks, as white as snow, she was willing to let him eat them?
Carefully breaking off a piece and putting it into his mouth, the joy in San Gouzi's eyes became even stronger. It was really a snack. Sister Shen was indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
He stuffed the remaining half in his arms and then gave it to his sisters.
The laughter of children coming from the yard made the lonely house more lively, and Shen Nanzhi smiled unconsciously.
In her previous life, she did not get married and have children. At first, she did not believe in love and did not want to have children for a man she did not love. Later, she felt that if she could not give the child a happy life, it would be a sin if the child suffered, so it was better not to have children.
Although the days of retirement are rich, they are lonely in their hearts. Although the hired workers live in poverty, they have families to tie them down with, and their lives are simple but happy.
Every time Shen Nanzhi heard them talk about the pride and satisfaction of their children, she felt a little envious.
"Sister Shen is back."
The children noticed her, smiled with joy, and ran over to her. But fearing that she might not like it, they slowly stopped and looked at her cautiously.
"Have some snacks."
"Have some snacks, thank you, sister."
The children cheered and the oldest girl, Danier, distributed the food equally to everyone. They all showed their gapped gums with joy, which made Shen Nanzhi smile unconsciously.
"Where's the little girl?"
"You were here just now?"
Everyone calmed down from the joy of snacks and hurried to look for the child, but after searching for a long time and throughout the entire house, they couldn't find the child.
Shen Nanzhi was also panicked. The child was so young and could only crawl but not walk. Where could he crawl to?
Wouldn't it be dangerous if you fell into a pit or a pool?
The children were all crying anxiously: "Sister, what should we do? Is little Niuniu okay?"
Shen Nanzhi thought of her dog. "Don't worry. I'll go get some help. Go check if there are any holes in the wall. Could it be that the dog has crawled out? I'll be back soon."
Shen Nanzhi went out for a walk and took the Border Collie dog Xiao Hei out. When she came back, she still hadn't found Xiao Niuniu. She asked Xiao Hei to smell the child's clothes and ordered, "Xiao Hei, go find the child. I'll give you some beef jerky as a reward."
The Border Collie was still thinking about his sheep when he was brought here. He was a little grumpy, but when he saw these children, his eyes lit up immediately. Hey, aren’t these new sheep?
There was more and more fun. Xiao Hei immediately became happy, sniffed the clothes, and started working immediately.
As Shen Nanzhi expected, there was indeed a dog hole in the wall. Xiao Hei chased out. Shen Nanzhi asked the children to stay at home and not to lose anyone else, and then he chased after him.
Xiao Hei is indeed the smartest among the dogs. He even knew to wait for Shen Nanzhi. This place was originally desolate. As they walked, they found that there were no people living here anymore. There were only forests and abandoned land temples.
Shen Nanzhi was also speechless. How could this child crawl so well?
This is simply the kid in charge of the house.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei was there, otherwise we would definitely not be able to find it.
After chasing them to a dilapidated temple, Shen Nanzhi finally saw the little girl wearing pink clothes. The clothes were made from the leftover material from Niu Xiaoli's clothes making, and were made for her by Aunt Niu. The clothes were particularly conspicuous among the green grass.
"finally found you!"
Xiao Hei also jumped up and down happily, asking Shen Nanzhi for credit. His arrogant look made Shen Nanzhi laugh, "That's great. Here's some beef jerky for you."
While Xiao Hei was eating beef jerky, Shen Nanzhi quickly picked up Xiao Niuniu. She was still grinning and came up to kiss her all over the face, completely unaware of the danger that had just happened.
"You're still laughing? You really deserve a beating. You can crawl this far, why don't you go to heaven?"
Shen Nanzhi patted her little butt. Little Niuniu thought he was playing with her and laughed even more happily, which made people feel no longer angry.
Just as I was about to go back, I suddenly felt the sound of wind passing through the woods, whooshing, as if someone was flying out of the woods.
Shen Nanzhi quickly lay down and saw more than a dozen men in black, all holding swords, surrounding the ruined temple, as if there were some dangerous people inside.
He is definitely not a good person if he hides his head and shows his tail. Shen Nanzhi took Xiao Hei into the farm and looked at Xiao Niuniu, wondering if she could survive in the space.
There are so many animals in the space, it should be possible. Shen Nanzhi will be exposed sooner or later, so let's throw her in and give it a try.
It actually worked. Xiao Hei raised her together with the three sheep and treated her like sheep. Little Niuniu was so happy. With so many new and interesting friends, she immediately forgot about Shen Nanzhi and bit the dog's tail. Xiao Hei jumped up in anger. The smallest lamb actually dared to bite the dog. He was so angry!
Shen Nanzhi ignored them. Xiao Hei was a sensible dog. He would not hurt a chicken, let alone bite a child. She let them handle the conflicts themselves.
Her situation was very dangerous. If those men in black discovered her, they would definitely kill her.
Just as Shen Nanzhi was about to slip away, a man in black immediately looked over with sharp and cold eyes, completely without any warmth, just like a gold medal killer in a movie.
The other men in black also noticed the movement. After all, they were all masters. If she was so big and bulky, she would have died many times ago if she didn't notice it.
A man in black who looked like a leader made a gesture, and another man in black nodded and walked towards Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi secretly groaned. He was definitely not here to comfort her. The cold sword was placed behind him, just waiting to get close to her, pierce her heart with an arrow, and send her to death.
"Please spare my life, sir. I don't know anything. I was just passing by. I promise I won't tell anyone. Please spare me."
The man in black was unmoved and simply said, "Only the dead can keep secrets."
Shen Nanzhi's terrified expression was reflected in his cold pupils. The man in black twitched his lips and decided to kill him as soon as possible to help the boss. The target this time was too powerful. He could escape so far even after being seriously injured. He must not underestimate the enemy.
He didn't see that Shen Nanzhi's frightened expression turned into indifference. She rolled over and dodged the long sword of the man in black. Then the man in black felt a chill on his neck and subconsciously covered it. The warmth on his hands and the smell of rust in his nose brought him back to his senses. She had actually cut his throat!
The man in black made a chuckle sound and wanted to speak but couldn't. Shen Nanzhi's eyes were cold. He carefully supported him and put him on the ground. Then he covered his mouth and nose and stabbed him again. The dagger given by Master Chang was extremely sharp and it actually cut off half of his neck, killing him completely.
Shen Nanzhi gasped for breath and had no time to rejoice. He put away the black-clothed man's sword and hid in the space.
These men in black are well-trained and are not like those bandits who can be killed by just brute force.
The man in black was careless and underestimated his enemy. He didn't expect that an ordinary woman would dare to kill people, and he ended up in a trap.
Shen Nanzhi took a shower in the space, washed and dried her clothes, calmed down, and went to see Xiao Niuniu.
Finally, we found her in the cowshed, asleep, with white milk at the corners of her mouth. It was speechless and funny at the same time. She really knew how to find food for herself.
Xiao Hei stayed with her, using his body to protect Xiao Niuniu and keep her warm. He is such a warm-hearted guy!
