But other than seeing the two of them working hard, no other gossip about them could be found.
Their activities were no different than their usual daily labor and apart from the occasional exchange, there weren’t any other intimate interactions between them.
Little by little, the villagers dispersed, leaving behind the eight-year-old Sima Guang.
Sima Guang was in a light purple outfit, with his hair tied into a bun, squatting by the river.
He alternated between watching Nan Feng and Yeger, and then started to study the bamboo.
He squatted there for a long time and then abruptly asked, “So, you are trying to connect the bamboo tubes to channel water to the vegetable field?”
Nan Feng replied, “Yes!”
“So, you haven’t actually figured out how to connect the bamboo tubes?”
Nan Feng, knowing about his intelligence and that he had saved her life once, asked with a chuckle, “Does Guangguang have any good suggestions?”
Sima Guang attempted to look wise beyond his years, even struck a thoughtful pose by scratching his non-existent beard.
The sight was enough to send both Nan Feng and Yeger into fits of laughter.
“There is a way, but you’ll have to listen to me,” Sima Guang started speaking in a measured tone, “First, you have to drill a hole the size of a green bean in the bamboo, then plug it with a small bamboo needle.
If you need to make a turn, carve out an appropriate angle from the preceding tube.
And just like that, you can solve the curvature problem.”
“Yes, that does sound smart!” Nan Feng clapped her thigh, “I think we should try this.”
Sima Guang then pointed at Yeger, “But I don’t know how to drill holes, you’ll have to do that.”
Yeger didn’t mind being bossed around by a little kid and just laughed it off, “Alright, we’ll follow your advice.”
Nan Feng added, “I’ll make some good food for Guangguang once we are done.”
Sima Guang waved off the offer, “No need for that, food doesn’t interest me.
If you find time to go to the Sanpin Bookstore in town, could you bring me back a couple of books?
I would be very grateful.” freeweɓnøvel.com
Nan Feng burst into hearty laughter, finding Sima Guang’s scholarly demeanor quite amusing.
She thought Yeger would find it funny as well, but upon turning to him, she noticed that he was staring at Sima Guang.
His dark eyes held a fathomless depth.
Maybe out of admiration.
…
Following Sima Guang’s advice, Nan Feng and Yeger went on a rush job.
They busied themselves making bamboo needles and drilling holes in the bamboo for the next few days.
Through a series of trials, they finally managed to get water flowing through the bamboo tubes.
The next steps were to connect and bury the water tubes.
Nan Feng’s household had enough rice to last two months, so she was not concerned about food these days.
She only wanted to make sure the vegetable field was well taken care of and could later be handed over to Nan Quanyou, so he won’t feel useless for his disability.
One day, when Nan Feng and Yeger were working in the vegetable field, some children from the village passed by while on their way to cut grass for wild pigs.
Those mischievous kids took one look at Yeger and started shouting in glee, “Yeger, Yeger!”
Yeger wasn’t one to talk much, and certainly not intimately acquainted with these kids, so Nan Feng immediately knew that they were up to something.
As expected, before waiting for Yeger to respond, the kids turned towards Nan Feng and started yelling, “Yegar’s wife, Yegar’s wife!”
Feeling annoyed as Yeger was standing right there, Nan Feng put her hands on her hips and gruffly said, “Go away!
What’s all this ruckus about?
Go cut your pig grass.”
The kids ran away while making faces, “In our village lives an unsightly maiden named Nan Feng, who used to chase after Wenxuan and now shadows the ugly Yeger…”
