Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

The person has been taken home and is not a family member. Although Wei Cai disagreed, he didn't say anything in the end and just asked Zhang Wu why he came.

"I have something I want to ask the village chief. Is there anyone in the village who can build a stove? I want to build a low stove in the kitchen."

Wei Cai looked at Zhang Wu in surprise: "You don't know how to build a stove?"

That look seems to say that you can't even do such a simple thing.

Zhang Wu was silent.

"Every household in the village knows how to build a stove. It's not a laborious task. But why are you building a short stove?"

Zhang Wu then began to explain: "Sometimes I go out early in the morning and have no way to make breakfast. The little girl can't be hungry. It happens that she can cook, so I thought of building a low stove for her to use."

Wei Cai suddenly realized, then frowned again, shaking his pipe on the corner of the table: "Do you still eat breakfast at home?"

"Food. My sister is growing up and her body is not in good condition, so she needs to eat breakfast."

Wei Cai rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, stop calling me a girl. I already know what your relationship with Little Song is."

Zhang Wu blinked and said, "Village Chief Wei from Xiahuang Village said that?"

Wei Cai waved his hand: "Why should he tell me? He is very tight-lipped. Yesterday I went to Xiahuang Village to look for him, and I happened to hear people in that village talking about your relationship with Xiao Song."

Wei Cai looked at Zhang Wu dimly: "I told you, you and Xiao Song don't look like siblings."

Zhang Wu smiled awkwardly and bowed: "It's wrong to hide it from the village chief. I lied about being brother and sister because I wanted to avoid some trouble. I hope the village chief will forgive me."

"Alright, alright. I know from these days that you two are both good kids. There's nothing to blame. You're out in a strange place, so I understand that you're a little wary. But is that little girl really like you said?"

Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Ruer's only relative just passed away, and my master took her back because he felt sorry for her. After all, we can still afford to raise a child."

Although he knew that Zhang Wu and Song Shiwei had a special relationship, Wei Cai was still a little surprised to hear that Zhang Wu respected Song Shiwei as his master. However, he did not show it on his face. He thought to himself that little Song was indeed not an ordinary person and must have a very important background, otherwise old guy Wei Xiong would not be so tight-lipped. If he had not happened to hear the people who settled down with the Huang family talking about it, he would still be kept in the dark.

Wei Cai just thought that the little girl was bought home by Zhang Wu, so he didn't ask any more questions. Thinking about what Zhang Wu had just said, Wei Cai nodded and said, "You are close to that kid Dahai, just go find him directly. He is an expert at building stoves."

"Okay, I'll go find him now. Thank you, Village Chief."

"What's there to thank for? We are all from the same village. Just go ahead."

After leaving Wei Cai's house, Zhang Wu took Feng Ru to find Wu Dahai.

But it only took one afternoon to build a low stove in the kitchen.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Zhang Wu wanted to invite Wu Dahai to have dinner at his home, but Wu Dahai refused to agree. Zhang Wu had no choice but to give him two kilograms of coarse grains and finally persuaded him to accept it.

When I went back to the kitchen, I saw the little girl staring at the short stove with a smile on her face, touching it from time to time.

Zhang Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this, and rubbed the little girl's head: "You like it so much?"

"I like it, I like it very much. Ruer can finally cook. Ruer, make breakfast for your brother and sister tomorrow morning."

Meeting those expectant and smart eyes, Zhang Wu couldn't say no.

For dinner, Zhang Wu made braised wild boar meat, vegetable and egg drop soup, and also stir-fried a wild rabbit.

Feng Ru was very confused when she saw the vegetable soup. Are there vegetables now? Why did she remember that vegetables were not available at this time of year?

Even though he was full of doubts, Feng Ru did not ask and just ate in silence.

Zhang Wu made the vegetable soup intentionally just to see how Feng Ru would react. Now it seems that she is quite tactful.

If he wanted to find out everything, Zhang Wu felt it would be a bad idea to stay at home even though he had taken the loyalty pill, so as not to cause trouble to his master. After all, there were too many bizarre things about his master. If he wanted to get to the bottom of everything, Zhang Wu could already imagine Song Shiwei's cold look at him.

Immediately, he couldn't help but shudder.

Song Shiwei paused while picking up the food and looked at him with a frown: "Cold?"

Zhang Wu hurriedly shook his head: "It's not cold, I just think the food is really delicious today, Master, please eat more."

Song Shiwei twitched his lips and looked at him with an indescribable look.

Two more days passed like this. Song Shiwei still didn't get up in the morning, and Feng Ru got up too early. Often, she had already prepared breakfast before Zhang Wu woke up. This happened for two days in a row.

After breakfast, Zhang Wu taught Feng Ru how to read. They started with learning five big characters every day. In the afternoon, Zhang Wu practiced swordplay while Feng Ru reviewed the characters he had learned in the morning in the room. She spent the rest of the time embroidering flowers and purses.

During the few days she spent at Song Shiwei's house, Feng Ru felt more secure and satisfied than ever before.

On the morning of the third day, Song Shiwei was about to get up when he heard a knock on the door. Song Shiwei was the only one at home at the moment. Zhang Wu and Feng Ru had gone to Xiahuang Village early in the morning.

After opening the door and seeing who was coming, Song Shiwei looked at Li An expressionlessly: "Are you here to see Feng Ru?"

Li An nodded with a smile: "Yes, where is Ru'er? Why did Miss Song think of bringing them here?"

Li An didn't know about Feng's death yet. He went to the house to check on the mother and daughter as soon as he returned to the city this morning. He didn't find them, but saw the letter left by Zhang Wu in the main hall, which said that Feng Ru had been taken away by the two men. He told the young master and rushed over without stopping.

Song Shiwei walked into the main room and sat down, with a cold look on his face: "Mother and daughter? Don't you know about Feng's death?"

Li An was confused by the question and opened his mouth: "Come... come over?"

"It happened a few days ago. We just happened to run into him on the street. He was kneeling on the street in the heavy snow, wanting to sell himself to bury his mother." At this point, Song Shiwei looked at Li An coldly, "Why do I remember you swore that you would take good care of them? If you did it and said it, why was Ruer stopped by the gatekeeper when she went to Zhou Mansion? I didn't know that the threshold of your Zhou Mansion was so high that even with the right card, you couldn't get in. It's strange."

Li An was so angry that his forehead broke out in sweat. The smile on his face disappeared instantly. He said gloomily, "Before leaving the city, I have already informed the steward of the mansion. It must be the negligence of the subordinates. I will punish them when I return."

Song Shiwei chuckled: "If you take it seriously enough, how dare those servants not take it seriously? It's too late to say these things now. Feng Ru will be mine in the future, and you don't need to worry about her affairs. As for your expenses on them, you can calculate them carefully and I will settle them."

Li An stood up suddenly, glared at Song Shiwei, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Song, why do you have to say such words to mock me? I took them back with selfish motives. I just wanted to use this opportunity to establish contact with you because they had your favor and help. But after a few days of contact, I really cared for the little girls, and I never thought of giving them anything in return."
