Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 5

Nan Yan stroked her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, then quickly tore off the long and floor-length wedding dress, which was the white linen dress she was wearing.

At this time, a black shadow came in from outside the broken door like a bat passing by, and Nan Yan, who had taken off half of her wedding dress, almost screamed in fright.Fortunately, that black shadow had quick eyes and hands, and quickly stepped forward to cover Nan Yan's small mouth with his hand, which was a false alarm.

This shadow's hands were warm and fragrant, making people suddenly feel less scared for no reason.

Nan Yan scrutinized this nimble black figure carefully, and saw that the man was wearing a bamboo hat, his smooth and fair face exuded a sharp-edged indifference; his dark and deep eyes glowed with a charming luster; his thick eyebrows , tall nose, beautiful lips...

Nan Yan has always believed that the so-called beauty of men and women in ancient times is actually equivalent to the ordinary aesthetics of modern people, but this strange and handsome man in front of her immediately made her have a huge change in her previous concept.

"You, who are you?" Nan Yan stared blankly at the handsome man in front of her, and asked hesitantly.

The stern man in black let go of his hand covering Nan Yan's mouth and nose, untied the bamboo hat, and put it on Nan Yan's head, "I was entrusted by my benefactor to come to rescue you. But... look at it, I think I It's a step late."

The man glanced sideways at Zhao Mingda, who was drooling beside the head of the kang, and his voice was getting louder, and said.

Entrusted by benefactor?save yourself?Or a handsome man with extraordinary appearance?

Nan Yan's mind was full of question marks, who would kindly ask someone to save her in this impoverished Shugang village?When Nan Yan came here, she only knew the Zhao family.

I can't think about it anymore, following this handsome strange man is better than staying here and waiting for dawn to be married to someone I don't want to marry.

"Hurry up and take off your wedding dress!" the man in black ordered.

"Oh, oh!" At this moment, Nan Yan could only obediently listen to the man in black, she somehow believed in her bones that this man would be able to rescue her.

Nan Yan took off her wedding dress, and the man took it directly, helped Zhao Mingda, who was already unconscious, to his feet, and helped him put on the wedding dress.

"Come and help!" the man in black ordered again.

"Oh!" Nan Yan replied foolishly, and stepped forward to help Zhao Mingda put on the cloth button and belt on the wedding dress worn on Zhao Mingda's body.

The man in black moved Zhao Mingda's body, facing inside, and lay on his side on the kang, his face was covered with a blackened cotton pillow.

Nan Yan understood that it was because the shrewd Mrs. Wang was worried at night, so she got up from time to time to check if she was still in the broken thatched cottage.Now, let the drunkard Zhao Mingda act as a substitute, and Wang will not find out that she has escaped so quickly.

After everything was arranged, Nan Yan, wearing a bamboo hat, followed the man in black out of the door and trotted all the way to the entrance of the village.Fortunately, the poor Zhao family didn't even have a watchdog, otherwise they would have to deal with the animals first.

"The horse is at the head of the village, hurry up!" the man in black said coldly.

In fact, Nan Yan wanted to run faster than him, but in the Zhao family who couldn't get enough to eat, how could they have the strength to run?Seeing this, the man simply carried Nanyan on his shoulder with one hand, and ran towards the entrance of the village like an arrow flying off the string.

This Shugang village is too small, and the sound of horseshoes in the middle of the night can easily wake up the residents here, so the horses can only be placed at the entrance of the village.

Nan Yan's abdomen pressed against the man's broad shoulders, not only did she not feel bumpy, but it felt very comfortable, which made her extremely at ease.

Soon at the head of Shugang Village, the outline of the white horse was so clear in the thick night.

The man in black whistled, and the horse turned around and ran towards this side.The man leaped onto the horse and placed Nan Yan in front of him with ease.The white horse raised its iron hooves and quickly left here.

This was Nan Yan's first time riding a horse in her life. It was inevitable that she would feel unsteady and might fall off at any time.

The man in black supported Nan Yan's waist with one hand, and with the other hand drove the horse to run quickly, "Girl, what an offense!" he greeted.

In this day and age, any physical touch between men and women is unacceptable.But Nanyan is a modern person after all, she doesn't care about this little touch at all.

"Who... are you?" Nan Yan still asked suspiciously as the horse ran all the way down the slope of Shugang.

The man drove the horse, and it took a long time before he replied, "Old man Zhao Yi has saved my life, and I have been friends with him for many years."

It turned out that the savior that the man in black kept saying was his own father Zhao Yi in this life. Now Nan Yan understood that it was her father who entrusted this handsome young man to save her, but she was curious how they met .

"May I ask... Your lord's name?" Nan Yan asked cautiously after imitating the ancient way of speaking.

The man waited for a while, and answered neatly: "Qi Yuhao."

Qi Yuhao...a nice and majestic name for a man, Nan Yan thought to herself.

"The little girl's name is Nan Yan, may I ask where are you taking me?" Nan Yan asked politely.

"West Lake Village!" The man still answered concisely.

Westlake Village?Is it near the Slender West Lake that evolved through the changes of the times?Nan Yan thought about it in her heart, but she didn't dare to jump to conclusions, after all, this was the ancient Yangzhou that she was completely unfamiliar with.

When Nan Yan woke up from her first beautiful sleep in so long since crossing, the sun was already rising the next day.The warm kang head, clean bedding, and tidy room make people not want to sleep comfortably for a while.

At this moment, there was a knock on the naked wooden door. Nan Yan sat up from the bed, covered her chest with a quilt, and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" The slightly chilly but clear male voice came from the door, "This is a new dress, I put it at the door."

Nan Yan recalled that when she ran away last night, the skirt of her clothes was scraped against the fence, tearing a big hole.

Although this man named Qi Yuhao looked cold on the surface, there was still a warmth in his heart, which Nan Yan could feel.

Nan Yan got off the kang and stretched greatly.She carefully opened the wooden door a little, and seeing no one around, she looked down at the new clothes placed by the door.

She brought in the new clothes from outside the door, and opened the gray cloth, which turned out to be a pure white light robe.

Qingluo... In ancient times, this was a kind of clothes that only rich people could afford.Nan Yan thought about it, but couldn't put it down.

Since it was bought for her to wear, what else is there to see?

Nan Yan picked up the white Qingluo and put it on carefully.There was only one small round brass mirror in the room, and she could only get a rough look at what she would look like in it.It's not bad, it still fits well.

It was the first time for Nan Yan to wear such clothes, so she was naturally very novel.She rushed out of the house excitedly, and found a crystal clear lake not far from the yard, and ran over immediately.

Qing Luo deserves to be Qing Luo, when he ran, the hem of his clothes fluttered, like a fairy.Nan Yan soon came to the lake and stood on a huge rock.She illuminated her whole self through the calm lake.

Nan Yan couldn't believe that the impeccable beauty in the lake was herself.The pure white lightness on her body made her involuntarily think of the legendary snake fairy White Lady.

By the clear lake where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the weeping willows are lightly fluttering, Nan Yan can't help but dance lightly, showing the elegant and fairy beauty of this light and elegant dress.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Nan Yan was immersing herself in her own happiness, a sudden man's voice interrupted her dance, scaring her almost into the lake.

Nan Yan stood still, and turned around, it turned out that it was Qi Yuhao standing not far from the yard, looking at her sharply.

Qi Yuhao walked slowly towards Nanyan, with his hands behind his back, and said without a tone: "In this small village, don't be too ostentatious."

Nan Yan still stared at him, this was the second time she looked at him so seriously.Under the warm sunshine, his handsome facial features seemed to have an invisible halo surrounding him.He was wearing a green embroidered robe, which was very valuable.

Nan Yan thought, this man must not be an ordinary person, whether it is appearance, clothing, temperament, or conversation, he does not look like an ordinary farmer.

Through Qi Yuhao, she looked up at the house she lived in last night.Compared with the three broken thatched huts of the Zhao family in Shugang Village, it is a world of difference.

This house is built of bricks and tiles. Although there are only two simple upper rooms, it looks spacious inside.The left side of the upper room is the kitchen, and the right side is the toilet.The courtyard is also built with brick walls, and it is only half the height of a person by visual inspection.From a distance, the whole house is clean and warm, which is quite suitable for a young couple living in the countryside.

Thinking of this, Nan Yan quickly shook her head.What a young couple is not a young couple. Currently, I and this cold-faced handsome man are living in this room. What are you thinking about?

"Thank you, my lord, for your help." Nan Yan clasped her fists together, imitating the heroine in a martial arts novel, and thanked loudly.

Qi Yuhao never looked at her directly, every time he just walked past her and looked away, as if he didn't pay attention to her at all.

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, you can thank Old Man Zhao Yi. I was bitten secretly by a poisonous snake on Shugang Road. If Old Man Zhao hadn't passed by there and took out wild grass to treat me, my left leg would probably be gone now." Qi Yuhao slightly lowered his head to look at his left leg, and said, "Saving you is nothing more than repaying Uncle Zhao's favor."

This person is cold, and he has an unpleasant and cold face anyway.

"Oh, I'll thank my dad if I have the chance." Nan Yan simply stopped talking to him politely, so as not to always feel like she was hitting a wall.

"You can't go anywhere these days, just stay here and don't leave half a step!" Qi Yuhao turned his head, his eyes fixed on the back of Nan Yan who just walked by him.

"The Dai family in Xicheng went to Shugang Village to pick up their relatives and found you missing. They will definitely use all methods to find you. The Zhao family also cannot get rid of their ties. The small ones lose money, and the big ones make trouble with the government. In short, it is a matter of paying more and paying less. All we can do now is to wait and see what happens, and you will be safe when the turmoil of the Dai family looking for you passes."

Nan Yan stopped and listened to Qi Yuhao's words, and asked, "Then, am I going to live here these days?"

"Yes, but... this is my home. You live here with food, drink, and sleep. I don't have that much money to support you, so I have to go out and work twice as much. You just stay here for the time being, and use laundry, cooking and cleaning Pay for your stay with me in a hygienic way."
