After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Chapter 20 Forgot to coax you
Su Huaili said expressionlessly: "Just telling the truth."

Su Bo'an sneered: "Come on."

Su Huaili strode forward, not wanting to pay attention to his father's strange aura.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he suddenly remembered something and slowed down. He waited until his father came to him and said, "Dad, they live in that strange house."

Su Bo'an was stunned for a moment and waved his hand carelessly, "It's just that many people have died before. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Su Huaili nodded, "I don't think there's anything to be afraid of."

He glanced at his father's expression and said, "I learned a lot from Uncle Zhou and Miss Zhou today."

Su Bo'an was startled, and then said fiercely: "Learn! Learn all the skills of that old dog!"

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Zhou Yancheng was more flexible in some aspects. Otherwise, how could he have been a close minister of the emperor for more than ten years.

I don’t know what the old dog did to make the emperor give up on him and exile him to such a remote place.

Su Huaili: If I guess correctly, the old dog in my father's mouth is Uncle Zhou. How resentful this is.

Su Huaili tested, "Do you want to drink to celebrate tonight?"

"What are you celebrating? Are you celebrating that you finally met Zhou Yancheng?" Su Bo'an glanced at his son and said in a neither salty nor light tone, "Don't drink, drinking will delay things."

Most importantly, there was no wine left in the house.

The last time he heard that Zhou Yancheng was exiled to Lingnan, he was so happy that he drank the wine he had been collecting for a long time. He originally wanted to save it for the New Year.

Then I drank it and slept on the ground all night. The next day I felt extremely uncomfortable and had to drag my exhausted body to work.

Su Huaili was happy.

It's better if dad doesn't drink, otherwise he will be the one who suffers.

After his father got drunk, he started to go crazy. He beat him as if he were Uncle Zhou. After the beating, he vomited and he had to clean up. He was exhausted mentally and physically.

I don’t want to wait on anyone anymore.

Zhou Shitang walked for a stick of incense. She felt thirsty and her back ached. She couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Dad, how long until we get home? My feet are almost useless and I can't walk anymore."

Zhou Yancheng was also so tired that he was sweating profusely and wanted to lie down on the spot.

He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His mouth was dry, "I don't know either. I remember Brother Chu said that you can just turn right and walk straight. Why haven't you arrived in so long? Is it so far away?"

Zhou Shitang frowned, his whole body was exhausted, and he moved slowly, "Dad, do we need to tell my mother and the others about the haunting at home?"

Zhou Yancheng said: "Tell me, they go out every day, and if we don't tell them, they will know it from other people's mouths. It's better for us to tell them directly, so as not to panic them."

Zhou Shitang wanted to show off, "Tell them, I'm going to bed when I go back, I'm so tired."

They didn't meet anyone along the way, so the two of them could only continue walking forward.

There is a small hillside ahead, and a girl is pulling the grass on the hillside with her hands, moving slowly down.

She was dressed in shabby clothes, her black hair was tied up casually, she was tall and full of energy.

She carefully held the things in her arms. When she finally came to the path, she took a breath, raised her head and looked around, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted: "Dad, Tangtang, why are you here? Are you here?" Are you here to find me?"

She held the things in her hands tightly and ran towards Zhou Yancheng and Zhou Shitang.

Zhou Shitang looked up with surprise on his face, "Sister, you are here too!"

"We didn't come here specifically for you. We just happened to pass by here on the way home. What a coincidence." Zhou Shitang told the truth.Zhou Shiruo: "..."

She glared at Zhou Shitang, "Can't you say something nice to coax me?"

Zhou Shitang opened his innocent eyes, "I forgot to coax you."

Zhou Yancheng smiled as he watched the two sisters playing around.

Zhou Shiruo snorted and rolled her eyes to make sure there was no one around. Her eyes were full of excitement and joy, and she pointed to the thing in her arms.

"I was walking around today and picked a red fruit. I ate one that was sour and sweet. It was delicious. I have never seen it before."

Zhou Shitang's eyes were filled with stars, and he approached Zhou Shiruo, curious, "Wow, what is it?"

Zhou Shiruo wrapped the fruits in banana leaves. She carefully opened a corner of the banana leaves and said, "Look, does it look delicious?"

Zhou Shitang's eyes lit up and he stretched out a hand to get it.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Shiruo patted her hand off, "I just took it off and haven't washed it yet. You can eat it after you get home and wash it."

"Oops." Zhou Shitang pouted and didn't care, "If you eat it, you won't get sick. I'm so tired now. I urgently need to eat a fruit to replenish my strength."

Zhou Shiruo was a head taller than Zhou Shitang. She looked down and saw her younger sister, whose eyes were full of exhaustion, and said distressedly: "Xiaojiao Bao, since you don't mind being dirty, then you can eat it."

My sister used to use the most exquisite hand warmers, eat the most delicious food, wear the most beautiful clothes, and use the best incense.

Everything is the best, and I scream when I am tired.

Now I have to pretend to be strong.

Their little girl is suffering.

"Dad, you should eat too. Don't finish it. You should keep some to take back to mother and the others." Zhou Shiruo turned to Zhou Yancheng and said.

If she didn't remind him, his father would be thinking about something and eat all the fruits. It's not like this has never happened before.

Now is not the leisurely life of the past. Everything has to be eaten sparingly and shared.

Zhou Shitang picked up one and threw it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and her mouth was full of sweet and sour juice. She arched her eyebrows and said with a satisfied look on her face, "It's delicious."

Zhou Yancheng hummed and took one to eat, "It tastes good."

Zhou Shiruo stood aside and watched them eat with a smile, feeling very happy in his heart.

Zhou Shitang stopped eating after eating one, "Sister, wrap it up quickly, lest others see it and come to snatch it."

"By the way, where did you pick it?" Zhou Shitang's mind worked quickly and he pulled out a bunch of information about this fruit.

Zhou Shiruo pointed to the hillside not far away, "It's quite far away. You should probably go around this hillside and be at the foot of the other side."

Zhou Shitang looked up and visually measured the size of the hillside. His bright eyes instantly dimmed, "It's so far away. I really can't walk anymore."

Zhou Yancheng looked at the little girl, who focused on the fruit and explained what was special about it. He asked: "Does this fruit have other uses?"

Zhou Shiruo was confused, "What else can I do besides eating?"

"This fruit is called Lěi. The whole plant and roots can be used as medicine. It can reduce inflammation and detoxify, clear away heat and calm convulsions, activate blood circulation and remove rheumatism." Zhou Shitang explained, "The weather in Lingnan is hot and humid, and it is easy to get angry when eating."
