Chapter 479: Chuer

Chapter 479: Chuer

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

The Lu family’s house was already built. One could basically stay there after cleaning it.

The watermelons in the courtyard were already ripe. As far as the eye could see, a large patch of them was green.

Those fruits were big and round. They were hidden under the green leaves and were faintly discernible.

The field where the vegetables were planted started to bear fruits.

“Is this the watermelon you mentioned?”

Shangguan Dian squatted at the side and knocked on this and that, his face full of curiosity.

He had eaten a lot of spiritual fruits in the Demon Realm, but he had never seen this watermelon.

Of course, he had never seen anything in Lu Sheng’s vegetable field.

It was the day to clean the house. Lu Sheng wanted to come back herself to clean, but when Lu Zhou heard that the watermelons were ripe, he wanted to come back with her.

When Shangguan Dian and Lan Yi saw Lu Zhou return, they followed him.

Needless to say for Chu Sihan, he seemed to have become Lu Sheng’s follower these days. He followed Lu Sheng wherever she went.

After cleaning up, they could not wait to get their hands on the watermelons.

Lu Zhou knocked skillfully and plucked two.

Lan Yi took out a dagger impatiently and handed it to Lu Zhou.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

Chu Sihan did not care about anything else. He only cared that the first piece of food the girl planted was for him to eat.

Hence, when Lu Zhou cut out the first watermelon slice, he directly took it.

Shangguan Dian, who wanted to eat the first slice, had not even reached out his hand when the watermelon landed in Chu Sihan’s.

He looked at Chu Sihan bitterly and reached out to take the second slice. However, the second slice was snatched away by Lan Yi.

Lu Sheng found it hilarious.

Shangguan Dian only received the third slice.

“Little niece, how do we eat this?”

He observed for a while and asked Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Eat the red parts.”

When Chu Sihan heard that, he hurriedly lowered his head and took a bite.

He nodded. “It tastes good. It quenches my thirst.”

“It’s sweet and juicy. It’s delicious!” Shangguan Dian nodded frantically after eating.

Lan Yi ate silently. As someone who was only interested in meat, he finished a slice in a few bites.

Lu Zhou cut a half for them. He took out a spoon from nowhere and dug the other half under the big tree.

Lu Sheng was no longer embarrassed by the way he ate, but the other three people were dumbfounded.

“Ah Zhou, it looks more delicious when you eat like that.”

After Shangguan Dian finished the piece in his hand, he touched the ground and plucked another one. Then, he divided it into half. He took half and Lan Yi took the other half.

The two of them took a spoon from Lu Zhou and ate beside him with the watermelon in hand.

In the end, they could only leave the rest to Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan.

Before returning to the vegetable field, Lu Sheng sent two watermelons each to the Liang family and the Tao family to try.

Recently, the villagers often passed by Lu Sheng’s vegetable field and stood outside the fence to observe.

When Lu Sheng was in a good mood, she would occasionally give them some so that they could try at home.

Of course, there were also some unclean people who wanted to steal food from the fields while everyone was asleep.

In the end, they were so scared that they did not dare to go out for a few days. They even went to the temple to find a priest to perform a ritual.

That was because Lu Sheng would always place Jia Zheng, Tan Jun, and the rest in the vegetable field before sleeping.

Every time she heard someone encounter a ghost or invite a priest over, Lu Sheng only smiled faintly.

It was the day to collect potatoes. Everyone went to dig for potatoes with hoes early in the morning.

Now, the restaurant in North City was open and required a lot of ingredients.

They had just dug out some potatoes today when He Lai and He Qin came over to get the goods.

The days of collecting peppercorns in An Mu Village had ended. It was not that everyone was lazy, but the peppercorns had already been plucked.

The villagers who earned a lot were asking if they would accept them next year. The answer was naturally that they would continue.

After getting a confirmation, the villagers looked forward to the start of next year.

Although the house was already built and the furniture was bought, no one had the intention to move back.

As the sun was extremely bright recently, the weather was exceptionally hot when they slept at night.

The land here was near the mountain and the water. It was cool during the day and even cooler at night.

Hence, no one was in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

This morning, Lu Sheng had just woken up and was plucking lantern peppers and sweet bell peppers with Lu Ran and the rest.

Suddenly, an anxious shout came from the other side.

“Lu Sheng, come over quickly!”

Lu Sheng turned back and saw an uncle among the helpers squatting in the sweet potato field and waving at her anxiously.

When Lu Sheng saw this, she hurried over.

However, the uncle said, “Lu Sheng, look. The ground has cracked. What happened?”

Lu Sheng thought that something big had happened. When she heard the uncle’s words, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Uncle Yang, it’s a good thing that the ground cracked.”

“What do you mean?”

Uncle Yang took off his bamboo hat and looked at her in confusion.

Lu Sheng squatted down and dug at the crack. After a while, she dug out a few big sweet potatoes.

“Look, the ground has cracked. This means that it’s time to harvest.”

Potatoes mostly liked sandy land. Hence, when Lu Sheng wanted to plant purple sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, she specially chose this sandy land.

Planting sweet potatoes in the sand not only resulted in big fruits, but the skin was also very smooth. Most importantly, it was easier to dig them.

“Oh, this thing looks so good!”

Uncle Yang had never seen these things before, but they looked like they were growing well.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “They do look good. Let’s start harvesting tomorrow. Let’s dig some out and steam them for everyone to try.”

When Shangguan Dian and Lan Yi heard that there was good food again, they did not even pluck the chili peppers and just threw down the baskets and ran over.

Perhaps because he had followed Shangguan Dian for too long, Lan Yi, who usually liked to eat meat, actually started to like these things.

“Little niece, can we eat this raw?” Shangguan Dian squatted at the side and asked.

Lu Sheng sighed helplessly. The mighty Demon King had actually been raised into a glutton by Lu Zhou. She did not know if it was good or bad.

“It can be eaten raw, but…”

However, it did not matter anymore. He picked one up and patted the sand off the sweet potato before biting it…

Lu Sheng was speechless.

It was unknown who had spoiled this bad habit.

He chewed for a while and frowned slightly. “It’s not delicious.”

“Of course. It tastes better when steamed and roasted.”

Lu Zhou walked over slowly and explained faintly.

Chu Hongzhong returned to the Chu Mansion yesterday, so Chu Sihan returned to town early in the morning.

Before he left, he even told Lu Sheng to move back to the Lu family as soon as possible. That was because they would come over to decide on the day of the marriage in a while.

There were no elders in the Lu family, so Lu Sheng decided to let Lu Zhou talk to the people from Chu Mansion.

As for Lu Ran and Leya, she had already decided.

Tomorrow was a good day. At that time, Aunt Yu, Mdm Fang, and Li Zheng would go to the Hua family to propose a marriage.

Lu Ran should have gotten married first as he was the elder brother. However, there was no such rule here.

Hence, she decided to let Lu Ran propose to Leya first before holding a banquet next year. Lu Ran had already agreed.

As for herself, she probably could not escape this year.

Lu Sheng sighed softly and dug half a basket of purple sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes with Uncle Yang. Then, she returned to the kitchen to wash them before steaming them.

The sweet potatoes tasted sweeter, while the purple sweet potatoes were more powdery. Everyone had different tastes. Some liked sweeter things, while others liked more powdery ones.

Of course, there was one exception, and that was Shangguan Dian.

He liked everything, be it powdery or sweet.

After Lu Sheng finished steaming, she asked Lu Jiang and Lu Xin to send some to Letong and Leya.

She initially wanted to follow them, but the two children said that they could go themselves.

During this period of time, Letong often came over to play. Lu Jiang and Lu Xin also often went to the Hua family to find Letong to play, so Lu Sheng was not afraid that they would get lost.

Moreover, children had the heart to brag. Once they saw something novel and delicious, they wanted to share it with their companions.

“Carry them well. Be careful not to fall.”

Lu Sheng took the basket and placed more than ten inside. There were sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes.

Lu Jiang finished what was on his hand and reached out to take it. Lu Xin skipped after Lu Jiang.

“Don’t eat so much. If you eat too much, your stomach will swell.”

Seeing that Shangguan Dian was still eating, Lu Zhou reminded him helplessly.

“Humans will, but I won’t!”

Shangguan Dian replied ambiguously before continuing to peel the skin and eat.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. She took two more baskets and prepared to send some to the Liang family and the Tao family.

Then, she was going to mention about the proposal tomorrow.

She had previously asked Aunt Yu about the marriage proposal. Aunt Yu said that they needed a pig, ten chickens, and ten ducks.

Then, she was to inform some elders in the village to follow them.

Lu Sheng did not know who to inform, so she passed this task to Aunt Yu and Mdm Fang.

The Hua family had already known about this. At first, Old Master Hua hesitated when he heard Leya say that she wanted to marry someone from Liu Yue Village.

However, after hearing that he was Lu Sheng’s brother, he agreed without thinking.

After staying in Liu Yue Village for a while, Old Master Hua more or less knew about the Lu family.

Hence, he was only happy that his daughter could marry into the Lu family.

If they were happy, Mdm Peng would be unhappy.

She had just been diagnosed by the doctor to be pregnant and was elated every day, thinking of giving birth to a son and trampling on Leya.

Hence, when she heard that Leya was going to marry someone from the village, she was extremely happy.

Every day, she would say ‘poor lad’ in front of Leya and mock her.

In the end, Old Master Hua told her that the sister of the family Leya was marrying into was Lord Chu’s fiancée. This made her suffocate and depressed.

For the past few days, she decided not to go out and locked herself in her room. Xiaolian was the only one serving her.

Since she was not doing well, Leya was naturally happy. Especially when she heard from the Lu family that they were coming over to propose marriage tomorrow, her heart jumped with joy.

Nothing was happier than marrying the person she liked as she wished.

After Lu Sheng delivered the sweet potatoes to Aunt Yu, she sent them to Mdm Fang.

However, when she entered the Tao family’s house, she realized that it was empty. There was no one there.

She did not mind and placed the items in the kitchen before leaving.

However, she bumped into Aunt Yang the moment she walked out.

Because her words ‘even my donkey, which usually sleeps as dead as a pig, woke up in shock.’ left a deep impression on Lu Sheng.

Moreover, when she was looking for help previously, she had gone to the Yang family. Aunt Yang was Uncle Yang’s daughter-in-law.

“Lu Sheng, you came to find Li Zheng?”

As her father-in-law and husband were working for Lu Sheng and they earned a lot every month, Aunt Yang was extremely polite to her.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Yes, but no one’s here.”

“Oh, you don’t know yet, right?”

Aunt Yang sighed softly and said, “Tao Jia and his wife brought their son back to Huang Yang Town this morning. I heard he’s quite sick.”

“Quite sick?” Lu Sheng frowned. “Who’s sick?”

“It’s Li Zheng’s grandson. I heard that he caught a cold in Yu Xi Town and couldn’t be treated for more than a month. That’s why he was brought back to Huang Yang Town.”

“Li Zheng and Aunt Tao just went over. I bumped into them at the medical hall in town just now.”

At this point, Aunt Yang frowned and continued, “I saw that child’s face turn green from coughing. I hope he’s alright.”

When Lu Sheng heard this, she could not help but frown. “Which medical hall are they in?”

“Hui Chun Hall.”

“Thank you for telling me, sister-in-law!”

After thanking her, Lu Sheng hurried back to the vegetable field.

“Where are you going?”

Seeing her hurry back and leave with the carriage, Lu Zhou hurriedly asked.

“Uncle Li Zheng’s grandson is sick. I heard that he’s in a medical hall in town now. I want to go and take a look.”

“What? Chuer is sick?”

As he was going to propose marriage tomorrow, Lu Ran temporarily handed the restaurant to He Lai.

He placed the basket filled with chili on the ground and said to Lu Sheng, “Ah Sheng, I’ll go with you after I change my clothes.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay.”

Lu Ran washed his face and hands before rushing back to his room to change his clothes.

“Master, if I come back later, you can cook yourself.”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Go ahead.”

Lu Sheng nodded before leaving with Lu Ran.

The two of them reached Hui Chun Hall. Tao Jia was carrying the child and walking out with an ashen face.

Behind him, Mdm Qiu and Mdm Fang were wiping their tears non-stop. Li Zheng’s expression was also ugly.

“Brother Tao, what’s wrong?”

Lu Ran jumped off the carriage and hurried forward to ask.

Lu Sheng hurriedly stopped the carriage at the side and followed them.

Tao Jia looked up and saw the siblings. His eyes reddened.

“A month ago, Chuer suddenly caught a cold. At that time, we didn’t pay much attention to it and went to see the doctor. He also took some medicine, but his condition was still good and bad. We went to the medical hall just now, but the doctor said that he couldn’t diagnose his illness either. We want to bring him to the capital to take a look now.”

“Sorry, child. Uncle and Aunt can’t go over personally tomorrow.”

Li Zheng and Mdm Fang looked at Lu Ran apologetically.

“What should we do?”

Lu Ran touched Tao Chuer’s forehead and realized that his skin was very cold.

“There’s no need to go to the capital.”

After Lu Sheng saw it, she spoke faintly.

“Don’t have to go to the capital?”

Tao Jia was stunned. “Lu Sheng, do you have a way?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Wait for a while.”

She walked into the medical hall and reported a few medicine names. After a while, she walked out with three sets of medicine.

“Let’s go home.”

No one knew what she wanted to do, but she looked indifferent, as if Chuer’s illness was not serious.

Tao Jia thought that he had to go home and prepare before going to the capital as well. Hence, he followed them back to the village on a horse carriage.

After returning to the Tao family, Lu Sheng passed the medicine to Mdm Fang to brew.

On the other hand, Chuer woke up. After coughing a few times, he suddenly bent down and wept. His cries were shriller than usual, as if he had used all his might to cry.

“Good child, Mother is here!”

Mdm Qiu’s eyes were red and swollen. It seemed like she had not rested well for a long time.

“Let me do it.”

Lu Sheng went forward. When she reached out, she saw that Chuer was crying even louder. He even shook his head and hid behind.

Mdm Qiu hurriedly hugged him tightly. She wept and patted his back.

“Sister-in-law, believe me!”

Mdm Qiu looked at her, then at Tao Jia. Seeing Tao Jia nod slightly, she passed Chuer to Lu Sheng.

Chuer was originally struggling forcefully. However, after Lu Sheng received him, he immediately stopped crying.

He opened his eyes and stared at Lu Sheng in a daze.

Lu Sheng smiled and touched his face. “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright now!”

When the people at the side saw this scene, they were all stunned.

It took Tao Jia a while to react.

“What… What happened?” he asked blankly.

Chuer was clearly struggling fiercely just now and did not want Lu Sheng to carry him. Why did he suddenly quieten down in Lu Sheng’s arms?

Lu Sheng returned Chuer to Tao Jia and stuffed a talisman into his pocket.

“I’ll explain it to you later.”

As she spoke, she walked past them and looked at a child who was emitting black aura not far away. She asked coldly, “Why did you attach yourself to him?”

“Hehe—”

The child did not answer but smiled at her.

“You’re not answering?”

Lu Sheng released Jia Zheng and the rest and said lightly, “Go and capture that little ghost for me.”

“Yes!”

After agreeing, Jia Zheng smiled at the little ghost.

When the little ghost saw Jia Zheng and the rest, he was first stunned. Then, he was so scared that he wanted to turn around and escape. However, Jia Zheng reached out and pulled him over.

“Speak. Why did you attach yourself to him? If you don’t say, I’ll destroy your soul.”

Lu Sheng raised her fist and threatened.

The little ghost shrunk his neck in fear. “Don’t… Don’t hit me!”

This child looked like he was only five years old. Moreover…

Lu Sheng turned back to look at Chuer and could not help but frown.

This child looked identical to Chuer. Moreover, their ages were similar.

“Lu Sheng…”

Seeing Lu Sheng muttering to herself at the side, Tao Jia and the rest felt a chill run down their spines.

However, Mdm Fang had heard Aunt Yu mention this skill of hers before. Hence, after hearing Lu Sheng’s words, she glanced at her grandson, who was coughing occasionally but looking much better. Her expression immediately changed.

“Lu Sheng, was Chuer pestered by something unclean?”

When Mdm Fang asked this, everyone’s gaze subconsciously landed on Lu Sheng.
