Chapter 152 Try it
"You're not bad, kid." Shang Wan praised with a smile, "You know a lot at such a young age."
"That's right, this young master is very smart." Chu Xu raised his little chin. If he had a tail, it would have been up to the sky at this moment.
Shang Wan rubbed his head and said, "Don't be so careless. Hurry up and write it. Send it out tomorrow."
Chu Xu asked curiously: "How do you send it?"
"Find a escort agency." Shang Wan thought, "No strangers can enter the military camp, and the letter certainly can't be delivered directly to the military camp. We have to think of a way."
Chu Xu said: "After arriving in Maocheng, you can find the owner of Lufeng Restaurant. He can give the letter to my brother."
Shang Wan nodded, guessing that the shopkeeper should be from the Chu family, specifically responsible for delivering messages to the military camp.
After deciding on the method of delivering the letter, Chu Xu excitedly ran to write it.
Shang Wan checked the peddler thoroughly but found no other valuable clues, so he dragged him into the mountains and buried him.
Ever since she picked up Chu Xu, she felt like she was becoming a professional corpse buryer.
I will never pick up anyone and take them home casually again!
After burying the body, Shang Wan still had an important thing to do.
The man who kidnapped three children was tied to a tree by her. The villagers originally wanted to send the man to the government, but Shang Wan said that she would send him instead. Since she was the one who captured the children, the villagers kept the man with her.
Now that everything related to the assassin has been dealt with, Shang Wan has plenty of time to interrogate this man.
To Shang Wan's surprise, this man turned out to be a coward. He confessed after being slapped twice.
The man's name was Jiang Bo, and he worked in a brokerage business, or a human trafficker.
He heard that there were many children in Yushu Village, so he wanted to try his luck and see if anyone wanted to sell their children.
It's not a famine, and the family is doing well. Who would be willing to sell their child?
Jiang Bo failed to buy a child, so he immediately came up with evil ideas.
He knew some martial arts and had some drugs on hand. It was raining heavily, so it was easy for him to catch a few lone kids.
Shang Wan asked: "Why did you set fire to Gao's house?"
Jiang Bo said awkwardly, "I am just doing things for people and making a living."
"Who gave you the money?"
Jiang Bo was embarrassed, "It's against the rules to say it out loud, please don't embarrass me."
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you." Shang Wan flexed his wrist, "I just happened to be in need of a sandbag, and I think you're a good fit."
He swung his fist and punched Jiang Bo in the face.
"Have mercy!" Jiang Bo closed his eyes in fear, "Don't hit me, I'll tell you everything!"
The fist stopped an inch away from the tip of his nose, and Shang Wan withdrew his hand with regret, "Tell me, if you dare to lie to me, I will crush your bones inch by inch."
Breaking a bone is painful, let alone crushing the bones in the body inch by inch.
Jiang Bo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He dared not hide anything anymore and said quickly, "Although that man did not reveal his name, I found out through the escort agency that he is the second in command of Longling Escort Agency, and his name is Sang Qi."
To Shang Wan, this was a completely unfamiliar name.
"What does this guy look like?"
Jiang Bo gave a general description of Sang Qi's appearance.
To summarize it in Shang Wan's words, Sang Qi is a lean man who knows martial arts, has a square face, believes in metaphysics, and always goes to a fortune-teller's stall to get a divination before escorting a goods transport.
Jiang Bo begged for mercy: "I confessed everything I know. I just started the fire, but no one was burned to death. Please have mercy on me and let me go. I will never dare to do bad things again."
Shang Wan’s answer was to knock him unconscious and throw him into the cellar.
It is impossible to release him, but it is not convenient to hand him over to the authorities now as it may alert the enemy. Let's make a decision after this matter is settled.
The wounded at home were all exhausted. Shang Wan looked at them one by one and found that they were all sleeping as if they were unconscious.
Chu Xu was writing the secret letter while yawning, his little head moving downwards in increments.
Seeing that the kid was so sleepy, Shang Wan simply let him go to sleep and continue writing after he had rested well. He would send it tomorrow anyway.
Shang Wan was the only one awake among the family of six.
She lay on the stone slab, looking at the dim sky, with one hand behind her head. She quickly reviewed what had happened recently in her mind and slowly exhaled.
Now there is a major problem that needs to be solved urgently. Xiaohuan has fallen down. Who will cook dinner in the evening?
The Golden Crow put away the last ray of its rays of light, and night slowly fell.
The He family's master and disciple returned at dinner time.
Shang Wan brought the last dish to the table and waved to the four people enthusiastically, "It's just right, come and try my cooking."
Looking from afar, the long table was filled with dishes.
He Sizhi thought there was some happy event in the master's family and wondered whether he should give a gift.
Ma Jieyong pulled Liangliang to the table. When he took a look at the dishes, his bright smile froze on his face.
Liangliang blinked in confusion. These black things on the table are... vegetables?
He sniffed, and a strange smell suddenly rushed into his nose, choking him and making him sneeze.
Shang Wan handed the two chopsticks and said, "Don't just stand there and watch. Try something."
Seeing Shang Wan so confident, Ma Jieyong thought it just didn't look good, but actually tasted pretty good.
A good host cooks for the guest himself, so you must give him face.
He used his chopsticks to pick up a square object of unknown origin and stuffed it into his mouth.
Instantly burst into tears.
“Spicy spicy spicy!!!”
He ran around like a monkey with his mouth open, looking for water to drink.
Shang Wan immediately served him a bowl of egg drop soup that she had cooked herself.
The spiciness was so intense that tears blurred Ma Jieyong's eyes. He didn't even see clearly what was handed to him. He took it and drank it all in one gulp.
Then... with a bang, he fell to the ground.
Shang Wan quickly grabbed the porcelain bowl and narrowly avoided it from breaking.
The other three were stunned.
Liangliang tilted his head and said hesitantly: "Dead...?"
"No..." A weak voice came from the mouth of Ma Jieyong who was lying on the ground. He covered his neck with one hand and stretched out the other hand to Gao Yan, "Water...water..."
Gao Yan quickly took off his water bag and filled it for him.
Shang Wan took a pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to He Sizhi, inviting him to try it as well.
Seeing his apprentice's miserable state, He Sizhi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled and his voice stammered, "I-I-I have eaten, I'm not hungry."
"Then try it too." Shang Wan enthusiastically pushed a plate of black stuff in front of him, "Secretly braised rabbit meat."
He Sizhi held the chopsticks, hesitating for a long time, not knowing what to pick up. He tried to open his eyes wide to distinguish, "Which piece is charcoal and which piece is rabbit meat?"
Shang Wan made sure that he didn't put any carbon in it. "It's all rabbit meat, just pick it up as you like. I think the big piece on the top is pretty good."
He Sizhi: "..."
Other employers just deduct wages and don’t provide adequate food, but this employer is asking for death.
He asked politely, "Have you tried these dishes?"
Shang Wan shook her head decisively. If she had tasted it, why would she let them taste it?
She was worried that feeding these things to the three injured people at home would make their injuries worse, but by chance the four of them came back.
It’s almost dinner time now, it would be such a waste if we don’t pull him over to try some food.
He Sizhi had a heart attack. If the person standing in front of him wasn't the master, he really wanted to roar, aren't their lives lives? !
