Chapter 158: Meng Nan is afraid of tigers
Mrs . Zhang replied: “Your elder brother family’s face is really thick, they are just resting at home, and letting our family to dig up wild vegetables for them under the sun?
Bai Erzhu didn’t understand: “Where are we going now?”
Mrs . Zhang said: “We will go dig wild vegetables, we will dig us much as possible, then we will go to my brother’s house . We will eat the half, and other half will be given to my brother in exchange for rice porridge . We can’t just always go and eat their food for free . ”
Bai Erzhu sighed, obviously he was reluctant . Since they will go to her brother’s house to eat, why not just go there directly? Why bother dig up wild vegetables under the heat of the sun? The forest was too far .
Mrs . Zhang and Bai Erzhu have been married for more than 10 years . So, how can they not understand each other temper? When Bai Erzhu knitted his eyebrows, Mrs . Zhang understood what on his mind .
“Bai Erzhu, since your family has driven away Zhao Lan, you should have understood by now that no one will work for you . No one should be lazying around . If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself . Otherwise, you are only waiting to die from hunger . ”
Walking under the sinister sun, Bai Zhenzhu’s cheeks sting, obviously she had sunburned . It’s estimated that it will get darker after they go back: “It will be good if we have carriage to ride on . ”
Bai Erzhu couldn’t help but sighed: “If I knew this day will come, I will be the first to stop our Bai Family to drive away Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi . By then, the carriage Meng Daren brought today will be ours, right? We can go and sit around in that carriage, how awesome would that be!”
The more he think about, the more he feel regret . Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regrets in this world .
Luoying Mountain
Bai Zhi let Jin Shiwei unload the horses to the carriage first, then they tied them under the trees . They took two small buckets with water out of the carriage, for the two horses, to prevent them getting dehydrated under the sun .
Meng Nan looked at the gloomy mountain forest in front of him, then frowned and asked: “What are you going to do in this mountains? Hunting?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I am looking for a herbal medicine . I’ve seen it the last time we came . It was only near, we don’t need to go to the deep of the forest, so don’t worry . ”
Meng Nan’s facial expression became somewhat unnatural: “Who, who said that I’m worried? It’s just going to the mountain, you talk as if I’m afraid of it . ” Meng Nan choked with his words . Although his face looked calm, but the panic in his eyes and the color of his face betrayed him .
Jin Shiwei smiled and said: “Gongzi, rest assured . As long as I am here, even if a white tiger rush in front of us, I will kill it with my sword, and protect you with all my might . ”
“Huh, what are you talking about? What kind of place is this to have white tiger? You’re just scaring me, don’t talk nonsense . And even if its true that there is a white tiger here, I will not get scared . ” Meng Nan said, but his legs seems to be trembling .
“Really? Then, we will look at your performance!” His young master’s skill was good, but he also has weakness . He was afraid of tiger . In the past, although he was not saying anything, he had seen a real tiger . So, if someone in front of him mention about tiger, his face will turned pale .
In these past few years, Meng Nan had grown older . On the surface, he seems like he was not afraid of tigers as much as before, but only he knows that his young master was still very scared of it .
Bai Zhi asked: “You are afraid of tigers?”
Meng Nan glared at Bai Zhi and said: “As if your not afraid . ”
Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “I don’t know if I am afraid of it . The tigers I’ve seen before are all kept in cages . They are very docile . They don’t give me goosebumps . Well, I’m not sure about tigers in the forest though . ”
Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi and raised an eyebrow, then asked: “Where did you see a tiger kept in a cage?”
