Chapter 26: I feel a strong desire in my heart

The next morning, people in Yuanhe County were talking about it.

In just one night, two major events occurred in the city.

The first thing was that a fire suddenly broke out in the Taoist temple on the hillside outside the city. The fire was so big that it burned all night long. The temple was reduced to ruins, and none of the Taoist priests and believers who went to burn incense inside could escape.

As for the second thing, it's not so easy to say.

The uninformed people asked for a long time before a middle-aged man spoke hesitantly.

It turns out that two men died of a stroke in Tianxiang Tower last night!

"It is said that the two men were already seriously injured."

One person clicked his tongue twice.

"Your body is in such a bad condition, yet you still want to go to the land of beauties to have fun? You really want sex more than your life!"

Different from the bustling streets, the atmosphere in the county magistrate's mansion had dropped to freezing point and everyone was silent.

The Imperial Master looked at the two boxes of silver coins and half a jar of rice on the ground with a gloomy face, and was shaking with anger.

He glared at Meng Feng fiercely, as if he wanted to bite him to pieces. He clenched his teeth and uttered a word through gaps between his teeth.

"Is this what you said, everything is arranged?!"

Meng Feng stood aside, sweating profusely.

"Please forgive me, Master Imperial Master. When I arrived with my men last night, the warehouse had already been looted by the thieves that night. This is all that is left."

That half jar of broken rice was scraped up from the ground by him himself.

The Imperial Master took a step forward, but his movement was too big and pulled the wound. He staggered and his face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, he grabbed Meng Feng's collar in time and managed to stabilize his body.

Meng Feng quickly supported him.

"Master, be careful, has the wound split open? Someone, help the master back to his room to rest, and go find a doctor!"

How can the Imperial Master still have the energy to recover from his injuries?

He pushed away the servant who came to support him and asked anxiously.

"Where's the darkroom? How's the darkroom?!"

Therein lies all the wealth he has accumulated over the years.

Most importantly, his biggest secret is hidden there.

Meng Feng felt a little dizzy because of him.

"The dark room that the Imperial Master is talking about is the one behind the portrait?"

The imperial teacher stared at him closely.

"how?"

Meng Feng quietly took a half step back, shrank his neck, and said in a low voice.

"It's cleaner inside the darkroom than outside."

Hearing this, the Imperial Master felt a fishy-sweet taste stuck in his throat. He forced himself not to spit it out and asked again without giving up.

"Nothing left?"

The letter was also taken away?!

Before Meng Feng could speak, an officer behind him shouted.

"Sir, I found something in the dark room!"

The Imperial Master suddenly turned his head and looked over there, with hope in his eyes.

"What is it?"

The officer walked up to him with something in his hands.

"To answer your question, it is a ginseng beard."

"puff--"

Hearing this, the Imperial Master could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed all over the officer's face.

Then he rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

"National Master!"

"Go find a doctor!"

Meng Feng's face was shocked. He quickly snatched the ginseng whisker from the officer's hand and stuffed it into the imperial teacher's mouth.

This mood must be held high, the Imperial Master must not allow anything to happen on his territory!

The county magistrate's mansion was in chaos again.

Of course, the Cheng family was unaware of all this excitement.

They were busy all morning.

"Second Miss, is this okay?"

Cheng Feng held up two sharpened branches and looked at Cheng Qiuruo and asked.

Cheng Qiuruo raised her head from the book and nodded.

"It's mostly OK, but it still needs to be sharper and a few more cuts should be made."

Cheng Feng nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I understand."

Cheng Qiuruo once again focused on the book of Mozi's Mechanical Techniques. This book was really wonderful!

She finally had the opportunity to help her family!

Cheng Qiuruo felt full of strength. She carefully put the book close to her body and ran to Wu Meng.

"Miss Cheng Er, is this the scarecrow you're talking about?"

Looking at the two scarecrows as tall as a person in front of him, Cheng Qiuruo nodded.

"Yes, remember to wrap the scarecrow in your escort clothes."

Wu Meng and Feng Shan nodded.

"good."

After checking here, Cheng Qiuruo ran to Cheng Feng and the others and cut branches with them. Seeing that everyone was busy and sweating, Meng greeted them.

"Everyone, take a break and eat first!"

A few people went to the river to wash their hands, and then took the bowl.

"It's actually dumplings! And they're made of white flour!"

Feng Shan exclaimed.

Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It smells so good!"

Although Wu Meng was also surprised, he did not show it like him.

He silently picked one up and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, his eyes widened slightly.

So fresh and delicious!

The skin is thin and the filling is large. It tastes fresh, fragrant and chewy when you take a bite.

He picked up another one and this time he just bit off the dumpling skin to reveal the filling inside.

It turned out to be shrimp!

"It actually has shrimp meat!"

Feng Shan exclaimed again.

The two looked at each other with serious expressions. After exchanging glances, they had more respect for the Cheng family in their hearts.

If they had shown goodwill to the Cheng family before just to give themselves a chance to survive, now they were even more determined to follow the Cheng family.

I never thought that the Cheng family had such a background. Even when they were forced into such a situation, they still had a backup plan even when they were in a desperate situation.

Perhaps while surviving, they can still look forward to a brighter future?

Old Madam Cheng secretly took in the expressions of the two people and continued to eat in silence.

Yu An stretched out his chubby little fingers and clumsily held the chopsticks which were very long and inconvenient for him.

Staring at the small bowl in front of him, his round face was full of seriousness.

He picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes narrowed instantly.

Hmm, the dumplings given by the fairy sister are so delicious!

Seeing him eating happily, Anluo smiled knowingly.

She also quickened her cooking pace. Every time she saw her baby eating, her appetite would be whetted.

On the other side, Wang saw that her daughter was still busy and called out again.

"Ruoruo, come and eat first!"

Cheng Qiuruo turned around and replied.

"Okay mother, there's only a little left, I'll eat it when I'm done!"

Wang frowned slightly and was about to go over, but was stopped by Madam Cheng.

"Keep her busy."

Old Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Qiuruo's busy back and sighed softly.

"This child has a lot of energy in her heart. If she is not allowed to vent it, it will not be good for her in the long run."

Hearing this, Wang lowered her head and her eyes became red as she thought of her husband.

Faced with such a huge change, they were all very angry.

When she first heard the bad news, she had thought about following the general, but it was impossible!

They had to live, they couldn't die, they couldn't fall, and they couldn't let those people get what they wanted.

They want to raise Yu An to adulthood and let him avenge the Cheng family!

One day, they will make public what the dog emperor did to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, so that the people of the world can see his true face!
