Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

267, Turned Upside Down (9th Update)

“How do you feel?” Lian Huai asked.

The mute servant coughed lightly, “I feel very good, my whole body is especially comfortable, not a single problem, my Inner Strength is also abundant, and it has even improved a level compared to before!”

“…”

Lian Huai knew in his heart.

Such medicine pills must be in Xie Zhinuan’s possession, but he did not know whether Xie Zhinuan would give him one if he asked?

To ask would show his lower position, to not ask would leave a part of him somewhat unwilling.

His Martial Arts had been stagnant for many years, and although he had made a slight progress yesterday, it was not as miraculous as the mute servant described.

But indeed, it was miraculous, judging from the mute servant’s complexion, one could tell he had been healed.

“Mute servant…”

“If my lord has any orders, please instruct!” the mute servant said softly.

“…”

After much thought, in the end, he still said nothing.

Although Zhinuan was his disciple, their bond was not deep. Perhaps after spending more time together, if she feels that he, as her Master, is not too bad, she might be willing to give him a medicine pill willingly, which would be much better than asking for it now.

At least that would preserve the affection of the master-disciple relationship.

“…”

He gently exhaled and called the mute servant to go out with him.

“Let’s go have some wontons too!”

“Yes!” the mute servant responded.

By the time the two of them arrived, Xie Zhinuan and the others had already finished eating and were preparing to leave. They decided to sit down and eat at the shop, as the wonton wrappers would swell if taken away.

It wouldn’t be the same original flavor.

“Master, Uncle Mute, you must eat a few more bowls, these wontons are really good, and the shredded radish is also delicious!” Xie Zhinuan recommended what she thought was good to the two of them.

The mute servant was overjoyed.

Perhaps it was because Zhinuan had Inner Strength that originally belonged to him, and he had received her benefits, he looked at Xie Zhinuan with a particularly loving gaze, his smile also especially genuine.

Compared to Xie Zhinuan and Lian Huai, they were more like master and disciple.

In their way of interaction, there was cautious sincerity and a gradually familiar tacit understanding.

The mute servant nodded; he ate whatever Xie Zhinuan pushed in front of him.

Lian Huai watched, feeling a bit jealous.

But jealousy was of no use, Xie Zhinuan and the mute servant shared the same lineage of Martial Arts, and that Inner Strength had been in the mute servant’s body for many years before it went to Xie Zhinuan.

They shared the same roots.

While he and Xie Zhinuan may have the title of master and disciple, in truth, he had not taught Xie Zhinuan anything.

Lian Huai felt this could not continue.

If things remained this way, the more weight the mute servant would hold in Xie Zhinuan’s heart, the lighter he would become. He needed to start teaching her some winemaking techniques or something, to become more familiar with her.

Since ancient times, it has always been the disciple who flattered the master, but when it comes to Lian Huai, it has completely changed; the master is eagerly trying to coax the disciple.

After breakfast, they were ready to set off for the place where the wine was hidden.

First, they went to the dock and boarded the boat.

It was then that Lian Huai said, “I haven’t been there for ten years, and I also haven’t dared to look into the news from that place. I don’t know what the winery has turned into, nor do I know if those wines are still there…”

This was the truth.

In ten years’ time, too much could have happened.

“Master, it doesn’t matter whether we can find the hidden wine or not; let’s just treat it as a visit back to our hometown, to remember our ancestors. As for everything else, we’ll leave it to fate, no need to force it!” Xie Zhinuan soothed softly.

During this season, setting up a table on the deck of the boat, preparing a fishing net, throwing it down and dragging it for a while, then pulling it up after some distance, could possibly lead to a catch.

This is what the boatman had told Xie Zhinuan and the others.

Yuanbao loved to eat the fish cooked by Xie Zhinuan, naturally, she was very willing to have the boatman cast the fishing net, pull it for a distance, then haul it up, and indeed they caught quite a number of big and small fish.

“These little fish need to be thrown back, or else there will be no fish left to net in the future!” the boatman said softly, selectively keeping the big fish and returning the small ones to the river.
