Chapter 22 (1/2)
Although Su Feng Nuan went into the mountainous forest, she didn’t leave, but hid inside a dense tree and observed outside from it.
The tree was large and had many leaves. She stayed on the tree. She could look outside clearly from the slight gaps in the shade, but from the outside could not see her hiding place at all.
She could see the man standing outside the forest for a while, then slowly turned around and walked down the mountain.
When he reached the middle of the mountain, a pageboy-like person carried a basket and walked towards him in surprise.
Because of the distance, Su Feng Nuan couldn’t hear the two of them, and could only see the pageboy circling around the man with great joy, as if checking whether he was missing a bone or limb, and finally under the man’s helpless expression the pageboy stopped and joyfully left the man.
The two left in the direction of the Lingyun Temple.
After the two were gone without a trace, Su Feng Nuan jumped off the tree, out of the mountainous forest, and towards Lingyun Town.
Arriving at an inconspicuous small herb shop in Lingyun Town, Su Feng Nuan called for a store attendant and gave him some instructions. The young attendant continuously nodded and then she left the small herb shop, out of Lingyun Town, and returned to the farm.
When she appeared at the farmhouse holding the Xiao Hu, the farm steward was overjoyed, “Young Lady, you’ve finally come back, if you still have not come back, Madam was going to start sending out everyone to go looking for you. Where did you go?”
Su Feng Nuan thinking that her Wai-po was indeed an elderly, if it was her mother, even if she would be gone for a few months, although she would miss her, but likely would not send out people to find her.
She pointed to the little thing in her arms, “To catch it.”
Only then did the steward realized that she had a fox in her arms, was stunned for a moment before hurried back to report to Madam Wang.
When Madam. Wang heard that Su Feng Nuan was back, she hurried out, closely looking over her from up to down. Letting out a sigh of relief and rebuked, “You child, not telling me and then leaving the farm without a sound. You didn’t come back last night, I almost died worrying.”
Su Feng Nuan said guiltily, “I just wanted to go to the mountainous forest to catch two wild chicken. I thought I would come back in a little while, so I didn’t tell Wai-po. I didn’t expect to meet to see this little fox. It took a long time to catch it, all night before I finally caught it. “
Xiao Hu cooperatively gave two barks.
Upon hearing so, Madam Wang looked into her arms, and nodded, “It’s really a beautiful little fox.” Then she said, “You must be hungry?” Without waiting for Su Feng Nuan to answer, she quickly instructed someone, “Quickly make some food.”
Su Feng Nuan added, “Stew a chicken. ”
Madam Wang froze, “Chicken this early in the morning?” Su Feng Nuan pointed to the little fox in her arms, “It’s for it to eat.”
Madam Wang smiled suddenly, “Alright, alright. Stew a chicken, quickly go.”
Someone answered immediately.
Su Feng Nuan followed Madam Wang into a room.
Liu Mo-Mo happen to be sitting on brick bed1, and when Su Feng Nuan came in, she smiled and said, “Xiao Ya Tou2 has been bored for so long, have you refreshed yourself?”
Su Feng Nuan held Xiao Hu in front of her and asked with a smile, “Mo-Mo look, is this little fox pretty?”
Liu Mo-Mo nodded with a smile, “Ah, it even has blue-eyed fox, very beautiful,“ Liu Mo-Mo nodded with a smile, ”These Lan-huo3 Fox are rare.”
“It’s blue-eyed? I didn’t notice.” Madam Wang looked over and was surprised, “It really does have blue eyes. Mo-Mo’s vision is very good.”
“It must have took a lot of effort to catch it?” Mo-Mo said. “The Lan-huo4 Fox are good mind readers and understands human language, it’s a legendary creature.”
“Yes, been chasing it all night, running dozens of laps in the mountains and forests, really exhausted me.” Su Feng Nuan made-up.
Liu Mo-Mo smiled looking at her, “No wonder your clothes are stained with leaves, go wash and eat.”
Su Feng Nuan put down Xiao Hu and head for her own room.
After eating, Su Feng Nuan asked Madam Wang, “Wai-po5, what are you doing today?”
Madam Wang said, “Ye Shizi hasn’t sent anyone yet, we’ll just wait in the farm. It happens that there are some matters in the farm. If you have nothing to do, can come with me to work on the ledger.”
Su Feng Nuan shook her head when she heard that, “Wai-po, I don’t know how to read the ledger.”
