The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 248 - 244: Up the Mountain, a Thrilling Ordeal
Under the leadership of the team captain, everyone picked up nets and baskets, and started madly fishing for fish and shrimp.
These little fish have too many bones, even if you clean them up and cook them with seasoning, you’ll just end up spitting out the bones. It’s really not worth the effort.
So, when they encountered palm-sized small fish, even if they were caught, they would turn around and throw them back into the river.
However, those particularly tiny fish, those must be kept.
After being sun-dried, when the New Year comes, add a bit more oil, stir-fry with peppers, and the taste...
Is simply amazing.
As for shrimp, there’s no need to mention, catch them all!
Families that eat carefully even chew and swallow the shrimp shells.
For those who are a bit more particular, they pick out the shrimp shells, eat only the meat, and don’t waste the leftover shells either; they feed them to chickens for calcium.
Then, the eggs laid will be nutritious and taste delicious.
The team captain bustled around, turned his head, saw Wen Ran, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, you little lazybones, you actually got up from your kang platform bed?"
Wen Ran: "..."
What the heck!
What kind of people are these?
Joining in the fun, but still being called out like this.
She forced a smile, "Captain, do you think if we went swimming in this weather, we wouldn’t catch a cold?"
Captain: "..."
He was stunned for a moment and took a closer look at Wen Ran’s expression.
Seeing she wasn’t joking, he immediately calmed down.
Emm, who knows what’s in this crazy girl’s head, if she really went ahead and did it, he would have to endure it.
He chuckled, "Hey, silly girl, swimming my foot? Hurry, give us a hand, then each family can take a fish back, that’ll count as some meat."
"I’m a little lazybones~"
Wen Ran rolled her eyes, pouted, and ran off.
The fish and shrimp in the creek are good, but still, they can’t compare to the taste of the spring shrimp in the valley.
That’s really something.
Wen Ran looked at the mountain, considering going up.
After all, the rain just started.
Even if a landslide happens...
It won’t be that quick.
Once the thought came, Wen Ran found any excuse to send Hongguo away, and started heading up the mountain with small steps.
Hee ha hee ha~
Get some shrimp, later blanche them, dip in vinegar, that little taste is awesome.
The valley was quiet, and when Wen Ran stepped in, she never thought she’d meet anyone here.
No, to be precise, she met two people.
Watching wide-eyed as that person threw someone into the spring water, Wen Ran’s face changed.
What the heck!
Murder!
"Stop right there!"
Wen Ran shouted, her voice scared that person out of their wits.
He didn’t dare to turn his head and ran off.
But Wen Ran didn’t have the time to chase him, after all, the person who was thrown into the spring water was still alive or dead, and in case they’re still alive...
She gritted her teeth and watched as that person disappeared in front of her eyes.
At that moment, she remembered the benefits of having the lead wolf.
Although the wolf was quite silly, in such situations, it was very useful.
The moment she got into the water, the spring water chilled Wen Ran to the bone.
She immediately gave a bitter smile, gosh, not only should you not do bad things, you shouldn’t even jinx it.
Look at her, she had scared the captain about this in the morning, and less than an hour later, she herself jumped in.
Pulling the person up, Wen Ran held them and stood up from the spring water.
Upon reaching the shore, she placed the person on the wet ground and wiped the water off her face to start CPR.
With enough strength, it was simple.
Perhaps she wasn’t meant to die, and under Wen Ran’s efforts, she coughed out some water, then turned her head and started puking out more water.
Seeing this, Wen Ran sat down on the ground, exhausted.
The woman was very slim, but her eyes were particularly large, and there was a wound on her forehead. Wen Ran took a deep breath, "Hey, are you okay?"
"I, cough cough..."
She could barely speak; as soon as she opened her mouth, coughing echoed.
Honestly, saving her was good; this way, she wouldn’t have to go to great lengths to chase the culprit.
Once the woman’s coughing stopped, Wen Ran stood up, "Can you get up?"
"Yes," the woman lifted her head and smiled, "Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I might not have survived this time."
"You’re welcome," Wen Ran waved her hand, "By the way, do you know who tried to harm you?"
"I do."
Wen Ran: "!"
Yes!
She knows.
Since that’s the case, Wen Ran could breathe a sigh of relief.
Saved a lot of trouble, just catch the person, delightful.
"Do you need to rest? If not, I’ll take you down the mountain, we’ll report to the police, and catch the person along the way," Wen Ran was soaked through.
Her wet clothes sticking to her felt uncomfortable.
"By the way," pulling her up, "who’s the person that harmed you? What’s their grudge or hatred?"
Not to be nosy, but realistically, the way down was long, so chatting was good to pass the time.
Moreover...
Even a straightforward person like Wen Ran realized that this girl in front of her, facing life and death in an instant, was too calm.
This person has secrets too.
Before Wen Ran could figure out one, two, three, four, or five out of curiosity, she saw the girl looking dumbfounded, "Huh? I don’t know what grudge."
Wen Ran felt something was off, "What, no grudge, and they just attacked you?"
"Wait," the girl quickly interrupted, "I haven’t asked for your name."
"My name is Wen Ran, Wen as in warmth, Ran as in then."
"Wen Ran," the girl repeated twice, then broke into a smile, "I’m Shen Xianxian."
Xian as in fairy."
"Xianxian, who hurt you?"
"I don’t know," Shen Xianxian looked bewildered, "I don’t know him."
Wen Ran paused her steps down the mountain, incredulous, "What? You don’t know?"
"Don’t know."
Shen Xianxian’s sincere look almost made Wen Ran cough up blood.
"Then you just said you know who harmed you."
Shen Xianxian faced Wen Ran’s question and explained softly, "I do know, although I don’t know him, I saw his face."
She promised, "As long as I meet him again, I can definitely recognize him."
This statement almost made Wen Ran cough up blood.
Good grief.
So, that’s how you understand the word "know."
Almost fell for your trick!
Now, the person can’t leave.
At least need to find some clues up the mountain.
Shen Xianxian’s head wound, although not bleeding anymore, looked frightening with its pale edges due to soaking.
Wen Ran didn’t dare to use the spring water, she just fished out a packet of medicinal powder from her coat, pretending it came from the riancoat.
After sprinkling it, she wrapped it with her garment.
Honestly, something is better than nothing.
After all, the rain was pouring heavily.
