Chapter 183 Arriving at the border; could it be that our ancestors secretly exerted their strength?
"Okay, okay, it's not shameful. Grandma knows. Grandma was just joking with your grandfather. Everyone likes delicious food, right? Grandma likes it too." As she said that, she picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and gave it to Qin Lang.
This was the last time Situ Nanyao took out three wild boars from the space, and each household received dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat. Qin Wanwan used the best piece of pork belly to make braised pork.
She made a lot at one time, and kept the rest after the previous meal. Her family didn't know how she kept it, but it was still very fresh when she took it out to eat, with no sign of it going bad at all.
The Qin family guessed that the space might have the function of preserving food, but the Song family didn't know. However, they all had a tacit understanding and no one asked.
Awan must have a shocking secret, but so what? They were not harmed, but instead received a favor, so they had to ignore it and even keep it secret to cover it up.
"Sister, do you still have that braised pork? It's so delicious! I want to eat it again for the next meal." Alang's little mouth was stuffed full, and he mumbled what he said.
Qin Qingyun gently gave him a chestnut and said, "When you have something in your mouth, chew it before you speak. Otherwise, the food you spit out will dirty the dishes. There are so many people here, and you are not eating alone. Have you forgotten what I taught you before?"
Qin Lang quickly shut his mouth and just gave his father a resentful look, but soon he looked at Qin Wanwan with expectation.
Qin Wanwan finished chewing the food in her mouth and swallowed it before replying, "I made a lot last time, so I can probably eat it twice. Don't worry, not only can you eat it next time, but also the time after that."
Qin Lang was satisfied and chewed the food in his mouth in big mouthfuls.
Situ Nanyao has always had the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, but during the time he stayed with the Qin family, he got used to the joyful atmosphere at the dinner table.
Situ Nanyao: "If you like it, next time I go into the woods, I'll focus on looking for wild boars. I'll use the pork belly to make braised pork."
Qin Lang's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth to speak, but after looking at his father, he finally closed his mouth and nodded vigorously. Song Shuyi looked at her little son like this, feeling a little amused. This greedy cat, can the wild boar be caught just by touching it?
"Sinan, don't bother with this kid. Eat whatever you have. In this situation, it's good enough to have something to eat. Why are you being so picky?"
Song Shuyi's words interrupted Mr. Song. Mr. Song originally wanted to remind him to remember to kill more pheasants when he saw them.
He wasn't just imagining things. He always felt that there was something weird about Nan kid, as if he was born to attract animals. Whatever animal he wanted in his mind, that animal would come to him. Just like the girl Wan in their family, they were both lucky stars.
"It's okay, auntie. I'll hunt whatever is in this forest. If there are no wild boars, we can't force them to come, right? If there are, I'll try my best to hunt more wild boars. I also like braised pork." Situ Nanyao said, picking up a piece of braised pork and putting it in his mouth, proving with practical actions that what he said was true.
Seeing him like this, Song Shuyi smiled but said nothing. She felt relieved. This child had a good heart and was worthy of being the son of King Zhenbei.
The journey ahead was sometimes smooth and sometimes bumpy, but no matter what, the people of Daqin Village still lived a stable life, and everything was moving in a good direction.
After several months, they finally arrived at the border.
Situ Nanyao looked at the familiar customs and people, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt a sense of nostalgia for the long time, and was sad about the impending departure.
Not long after the rumor spread in the mountain stronghold that day, he received news from Ji Feng that the traitor had been found and he could return to the border openly instead of hiding as a refugee like he was doing now.
But when he saw the familiar villagers in Daqin Village, each with a simple smile on their face, they were full of hope for the future life. There was the breath of life, the beauty of humanity, a joyful atmosphere, a warmth different from that of their home, and most importantly, there was that girl, the girl whom he had already kept in his heart without knowing when.
So, he did not go back, but fled here with the people of Daqin Village.
"We're finally here! We're finally here!" The people of Daqin Village were ecstatic.
When the officers and soldiers at the city gate saw this group of people standing outside the city gate, they knew that they were refugees who had fled here due to famine. When they saw Qin Wanwan, they were a little shocked for a moment. One officer and soldier hurriedly said something to the person next to him, and then that person walked inside. But he walked over with a kind attitude, even with some respect.
"Are you from Daqin Village who have fled here?"
His words stunned everyone. They looked at each other in disbelief. Finally, the old village chief asked, "Exactly. I am the village chief of Daqin Village. I wonder how the official knew that we were from Daqin Village?"
Hearing this, the official became even more respectful. "Daqin Village was given special care by our master. He said that since you have come, we must assign you two villages together and give you a good place."
Everyone was even more confused. How come they didn't know that their village had received the favor of the higher-ups? However, since the official said so, it was a good thing. Judging from the official's attitude, this didn't seem to be fake.
The officer did not explain that Qin Wanwan was their prince's savior, this was also something the prince had specifically instructed.
This is also to protect Miss Qin's family.
The official who had left earlier had now come over with people from the county government office, led by the county magistrate.
When County Magistrate Hou saw Situ Nanyao standing beside him, he quickly wiped the sweat from his head, then quickly shifted his gaze and smiled kindly at the people of Daqin Village.
"Hello, fellow villagers! I am the magistrate of Shanyan County. Do you have your household registration documents with you?"
When the people of Daqin Village heard that the county magistrate had come and was speaking to them so kindly, they were even more confused.
Could it be that when they were fleeing famine, their ancestors of the Old Qin family had taken action? They secretly cultivated good relationships with the people below, and asked the county magistrate's ancestors to send him a dream, asking him to take good care of the people of their Daqin Village?
"Do you have anything else to say, fellow villagers?" County Magistrate Hou saw that they were just looking at each other without saying anything. He was a little unsure for a moment and secretly glanced at Situ Nanyao.
At this moment, Situ Nanyao just wanted to hold his forehead. Hou Desheng, just do your job well, why do you keep looking at him? Are you afraid that these people won't find any clues?
