Chapter 168 Asking for help
Although the drying speed still cannot keep up with the picking speed, the amount left over each day has been greatly reduced, avoiding the risk of mildew caused by long-term storage.
Ran He carefully put the dried mushrooms into his storage space, then entered that magical space and began to plant herbal seeds.
The supplies were neatly stacked in one corner, and the herbs were placed on the other side. The space was spacious enough for her to arrange them as she pleased.
All the previously mature herbs have been harvested and put aside. Now all she needs to do is sow the new seeds. Then she will use the spiritual spring water to irrigate them carefully, waiting for new life to break out of the ground.
At the same time, Wu Xu was patiently teaching the children to read. However, after a full meal and in the warm sunlight, they gradually felt sleepy, and before long, the two little ones fell into a deep sleep.
Wu Xu took the opportunity to make an imperceptible gesture towards the darkness, and Yan Qin appeared quietly like a shadow.
"Go and investigate the whereabouts of Meng Changfeng and Mo Changfeng, as well as their exact relationship with Ran He. Remember, do not alert anyone."
"Yes, I obey!"
Yan Qin took the order and immediately disappeared into the crowd, leaving quietly.
……
The scene of Meng Changfeng and his carriage stopping in front of Ran He's house naturally did not escape the eyes of the villagers, but apart from secretly envying them, they did not dare to make any extra movements.
It is a great blessing that Ran He's current business can benefit the whole village. Who would dare to easily touch the red line that will lead to the downfall of Ma Er and the Gu family?
The villagers just watched the carriage that showed off their status from a distance and did not try to please it for fear of causing misunderstanding to Ran He.
However, not everyone shares the same view.
When Gu Qing heard that a magnificent horse-drawn carriage was driving into the village, his enthusiasm for work instantly dissipated.
The failure of Mr. Liu's marriage made her lose face among her neighbors. The unwillingness in her heart and resistance to ordinary life drove her to look for opportunities to change her destiny.
She sneaked to the back door of Ran He's house and lurked just to catch a glimpse of Meng Changfeng and others. The luxurious carriage and their transcendent temperament all hinted at their extraordinary identities.
Gu Qing was secretly delighted, and immediately hurried along the path to the village entrance, determined to seize a chance to change his fate.
In the car, Meng Changfeng half-jokingly said to Mo Changfeng:
"Is your so-called gift the contract? To be honest, this is too insincere. After all, you are the future successor of the Mo Merchants Association. If you give me something like this, I'm afraid you will lose face."
Mo Changfeng just glanced at him indifferently, with a look of helplessness and disdain in his eyes.
Meng Changfeng was not willing to be outdone. He always liked to challenge Mo Changfeng's arrogance so as to avoid being criticized by the other party.
"Of course I have other gifts, but I haven't had time to give them out yet."
Meng Changfeng was slightly startled by these words, and his expression became serious: "Did you find anything wrong?"
"Yes, the problem is Ran He's husband. I always feel that he is not that simple, and he gives me an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if I have seen him somewhere, but I can't remember where."
As the heir to a wealthy merchant family in the prosperous capital, he shuttled between the dignitaries and the common people every day, entertaining them constantly and greeting everyone with a smile. It was common for him to lose track of every face he passed by.
However, Meng Changfeng has an almost blind trust in the keen intuition of his best friend Mo Changfeng.
Since Mo Changfeng felt that there was something unusual in the behavior of Ran He's husband Wu Xu, then this matter most likely had a reason and should not be taken lightly.
"Should we give Ran He a hint to alert her?"
Meng Changfeng thought to himself that Ran He was not only their best friend, but also Mo Changfeng's savior. Based on their deep friendship, it was both his duty and obligation to give him some advice at the right time.
Mo Changfeng didn't care about Meng Changfeng's suggestion. He smiled faintly, "Ran He is not an ordinary person. She is smart and intelligent beyond ordinary people. I guess she has already noticed Wu Xu's unusualness. There is no need for us to do anything."
Hearing this, Meng Changfeng curled his lips slightly and thought to himself, am I the only one who seems to be short-sighted?
In fact, this negligence is understandable.
At that time, as soon as he stepped into the banquet, he was deeply attracted by the dazzling array of delicacies. His mind was full of trying all kinds of delicacies he had never tasted before, so he had no time to take a close look at the guests around him.
Just as the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped and came to a steady stop.
The driver gently lifted the curtain and reported the situation respectfully: "My two young masters, there seems to be a woman blocking our way at the entrance of the village ahead."
Meng Changfeng frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, could it be that they had met someone with ill intentions who had taken a fancy to their luxuriously decorated carriage and was trying to blackmail them?
This woman is Gu Qing.
She had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw the luxurious carriage slowly approaching from afar, she immediately put into action the plan she had carefully prepared.
She pretended to have sprained her ankle while collecting wild vegetables, and acted in pain, staggering to the center of the road.
She looked at Meng Changfeng pitifully, tears in her eyes, and her voice was three parts shy and seven parts pleading: "Sir, I accidentally sprained my foot and it hurts so much that I can't walk. Could you use your carriage to take me to the city for medical treatment?"
Gu Qing believed that his appearance was enough to touch the softest part of anyone's heart, and hoped to arouse the sympathy of the nobleman in front of him.
She planned to continue her helpless posture once she was aboard the carriage, looking for an opportunity to establish some kind of connection with them.
But for Meng Changfeng, this little trick is not worth mentioning at all.
He grew up in an environment of intrigue and deception, and his insight into human nature far exceeds that of ordinary people.
In his eyes, Gu Qing's little thoughts were as clear as black and white on paper.
What's more, there are so many beautiful women in the capital, and he has seen more than a thousand of them.
In comparison, although Gu Qing can be considered handsome, he has suffered the hardships of rural life and his appearance is not stunning.
If the girl had an outstanding face, he might have felt some sympathy for her, but for such an ordinary face, it was difficult for him to say a single gentle word.
So he refused politely but firmly: "Brother, this village is full of people, you may be able to find help from fellow villagers. I am afraid that we are too busy to help you, please understand."
Although Meng Changfeng's words left room for maneuver, any discerning person could hear the rejection in them.
However, how could Gu Qing give up this rare opportunity so easily? The wealth and glory before her seemed to be within reach, which forced her to show unprecedented persistence and shamelessness.
She endured the so-called "pain" and pleaded again.
