Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Sweeping Everything Including the Pot

But little Xiao Xiao clearly still remembered the taste of his mother’s milk, constantly trying to find it at Liu Sisi’s chest, tirelessly.

Ms. Gao covered her mouth and laughed at the side: “The Fourth Young Master is really smart, always climbing up first whenever there’s something delicious to eat. But when he sees medicine, he runs away at lightning speed. It’s so amusing.”

“Really? This little guy is just so annoying.”

Liu Sisi said that she found him annoying, but she hugged Xiao Xiao tightly and kept giving him kisses, unwilling to let go.

“By the way, has there been any news from the Old Master? Has he said when he’ll be back?”

Liu Sisi suddenly turned around to ask Old Cheng next to her.

Old Cheng thought about it: “The Old Master has sent a flying pigeon letter delivery, he should be able to return home today.”

“He can come back today?”

Liu Sisi was overjoyed: “Tell the kitchen to add more dishes tonight. In addition, the Old Master likes to eat stewed meat. Prepare bone soup for him tonight and wait for him to come back to eat it.”

“Don’t worry, Madam, the kitchen is already prepared.”

Ms. Gao quickly replied.

On the mountain path, two horses raced towards each other at top speed.

One desperately chased, one desperately escaped, and they quickly entered the dense forest.

“Huff! ——”

Di Yelei, who was running fast in front, suddenly tightened the reins and stood still.

Nan Tianzong galloped up from behind, shouting from a distance: “Hey! I say you, why…”

“Don’t move! There are bandits.”

Di Yelei raised his arm to stop him, but firmly gripped the reins, constantly scanning the dense forest on both sides of the hillside with his eyes.

Nan Tianzong also stopped his horse, carefully observing the surroundings, and his whole body seemed to disappear from sight in an instant.

On both sides of the hillside, in those dense mixed-leaf forests, a large group of people was lying in wait.

Everyone watched the two people below who suddenly stopped and didn’t continue to move forward, cursing in a low voice, “Damn, if they walked just another thirty feet, watch me bash them.”

Isn’t that the truth?

The horses of the two men stopped right at the edge of the ambush line, causing a dilemma for them at the moment.

“There are ambushes on both sides, and there are quite a few people. I just don’t know if these people are just trying to rob us or if they are specifically targeting you and me.” Nan Tianzong stared at the dense forest, his mouth curving even more.

“Whether it’s a simple robbery or targeting you and me, they’ve bumped into us, so there’s no reason to let them go, right?”

Di Yelei began to move his joints and gave his big blade hanging by his side a push.

Nan Tianzong said indifferently, then let go of the reins and stretched a big lazy waist: “It’s been a long time since I’ve had some action, I feel like all my bones are going soft. Perfect timing, these targets for practice have arrived.”

Di Yelei glanced at him and then laughed as well.

“Not to mention, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a fight. This time, let’s compare who can take down more people. How about it?”

His suggestion made Nan Tianzong’s eyes light up!

“That sounds good, but whoever loses has to feed the winner’s horse for two days. How about it? I’m not cheating this time, so you have nothing to say, right? Haha! Ready, go!”

As Nan Tianzong’s words fell, his body leaped off the horseback and flew straight towards the hillside on the right.

Not to be outdone, Di Yelei let out a long, resounding cry and rushed towards the cliff on the left.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In an instant, a deafening commotion of fighting broke out on the hillside.

The bandits on both sides of the hill never expected that before they had a chance to take action, they would be caught in a pincer attack by the two men.

The followers who followed them were frightened and hurriedly rushed their horses to the dense forest.

However, their arrival was still too late. The fight came and went quickly. By the time Zhang Peng and the others arrived, the contest between Di Yelei and Nan Tianzong had already ended.

Nan Tianzong suddenly laughed and casually held his hands together behind his back: “Not many, I killed 37 people, none survived.”

“Heh! Not bad, I killed 38 people, just one more than you.”

Di Yelei suddenly burst out laughing.

Nan Tianzong’s face changed in an instant: “Impossible! You clearly only swung your knife 36 times, how could you kill 38 people?”

“What’s so impossible about it? I did swing only 36 times, but in the first two swings, I wiped out two people directly. How about it? Do you admit defeat?”

Di Yelei spoke lightly, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.

For Nan Tianzong to be able to discern how many times he had swung his knife was an incredible ability.

“I’m not losing to you, it’s just that the bandits on my side of the hill were clearly fewer than yours, this bet doesn’t count! Let’s do it again!”

Nan Tianzong started to play dirty.

How could Di Yelei let go of this opportunity: “How can it be done again? We agreed on this beforehand, and you’re still…”

The two of them continued to push and shout at each other as they came down from the hillside. The followers nearby saw it, hurriedly flew into the dense forest, and quickly dragged out the corpses of the dead. They piled them up in a large pit on the open ground.

“Collect everything from these people. Recently, I, the Field Officer, have been worrying about not having enough silver to spend. Now that so many people have come to deliver silver, we can’t refuse it, can we?”

Di Yelei looked at Nan Tianzong with a smiling face, while commanding his subordinates to clean up the bandits’ pockets. Nan Tianzong didn’t stop Di Yelei’s actions, as cleaning up the battlefield was a fat job, not to be missed.

Nan Tianzong, and Di Yelei, both covered in dust, didn’t return to the mansion until the afternoon.

Liu Sisi had received the news early, and hurriedly went to meet them outside the mansion’s gate.

“Brother Nan, you’re finally back. How did it go?”

Nan Tianzong jumped off the horse first, teasing her with a surprised face.

“Sisi, is the sun setting in the west today? You actually came out to greet me! It’s really rare.”

“What’s so rare about that? It’s like I never cared. But weren’t you supposed to be back tomorrow? Why did you come back early? Did you get everything done?”

Although Liu Sisi was talking to Nan Tianzong, her eyes were fixed on Di Yelei, examining him up and down. Di Yelei had lost some weight, but he looked very energetic, though his face looked a bit off.

“Of course I was worried about you. What’s the matter?” She turned her gaze to Di Yelei.

“Sisi, today, Brother Nan lost a bet to me, and he promised to be my stable boy.”

Who would have known that Di Yelei just looked at her kindly and laughed, not understanding Liu Sisi’s feelings at this moment.
