Chapter 2056 Getting better
Old Man Feng looked at his legs, his face full of happiness: "My Lord and Madam, you must stay for dinner today. I will go and dig some bamboo shoots. Newly ripe bamboo shoots are delicious."
"It's getting late. I'll go now." As he said this, the old man patted Feng Huairen on the shoulder. The man immediately understood and handed the crutch to him.
Seeing the old man stand up, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also stood up.
"Uncle Feng, let's go with you. I have never picked bamboo shoots before."
"This..." Old Man Feng looked at the two of them worriedly, obviously worried that they couldn't go to the fields. Seeing Wan Shufang's insistence, he finally gave in: "Okay, if Madam wants to go, let's go together."
"Huairen, you stay at home, light a fire, cook dinner and wait for us to come back."
"Okay dad, slow down."
Feng Huairen nodded obediently and watched them leave before he turned back to the house. Along the way, Wan Shufang supported the old man, worried that he would fall.
But the old man walked very steadily the whole time, and his leg seemed to be really healed.
"My lord, madam, you don't know, Huairen is really a different child. He has become the same as before, simple, serious, and filial." Old Man Feng kept on talking, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Thanks to the blessings of the ancestors of the Feng family, my son was able to come back... All this is thanks to you and your wife. Feng Dashan will always remember your kindness."
As he said this, Feng Dashan was about to kneel on the ground. Fortunately, Chen Changli was quick to hold him up in time. Although the two were confused about what he said, they still tried to comfort the old man first.
"Uncle Feng, you're welcome. We will help anyone we meet. It's just our destiny."
"Now that he has gotten better, your life will get better."
Hearing this, Feng Dashan was extremely excited. He kept nodding his head and bowed to the two of them to express his gratitude.
Soon, the three of them dug up the bamboo shoots and went back to cook. For this meal, Old Man Feng cooked personally and together with Feng Huairen, they prepared a farm meal to entertain Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
When the sun was shining brightly, a delicious home-cooked meal was ready. Several people sat in the yard, cleaning up the dishes and serving them on the table, ready to eat.
Wan Shufang deliberately sat next to Feng Huairen, keeping an eye on him out of the corner of her eye.
"My Lord, Madam, let's eat quickly. There's nothing good at home, but my cooking skills are still pretty good. In the past, I was a kitchen helper in a wealthy family."
Mr. Feng said this with a smile, picked up clean chopsticks, picked up food for the two of them, and did not forget to pick up food for Feng Huairen.
"Dad, you eat too."
"Yes, old man, we are not children. We don't need to be taken care of."
"Eat, eat, eat. Everyone, eat."
Feng Dashan's face was full of smiles, and all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a ball. It can be seen that he was very happy. Wan Shufang also responded to him with a smile.
When Wan Shufang caught a glimpse of Feng Huairen trying to pick up some food, she deliberately reached out and bumped into him, causing the chopsticks to fall on the table. She panicked and subconsciously grabbed Feng Huairen's wrist.
"Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Wan Shufang apologized sincerely, but her hand was still on his pulse. After just a moment, she let go of Feng Huairen, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him.
"It just happened to fall on the table instead of into the food. I'll go get you a new pair."
"Hey, Madam, please sit down. Huairen can go by himself."
As he spoke, Feng Dashan pushed Feng Huairen. The man nodded, stood up and left silently, then came back with a new pair of chopsticks.
Wan Shufang and Chen Changli looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
After dinner, while the two hosts were clearing the table, she leaned close to Chen Changli's ear and whispered in a low voice, "There is indeed something wrong with Feng Huairen. He must have taken some long-term medication."
"Changli, I'll talk to him later, you can take this opportunity to go to his room and take a look."
Hearing this, Chen Changli nodded in agreement, and Uncle Feng and Feng Huairen packed up their things and returned to the yard. They sat together and chatted about random things.
Chen Changli left the courtyard on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Seeing him leave, Feng Huairen wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Wan Shufang, who asked him about other things.
"Mr. Feng, you said before that you went hunting. Did you earn all the money for renovating the yard from hunting?" As she spoke, she deliberately put on an admiring look and held Feng Huairen's sleeve tightly.
Feng Huairen hesitated for a moment, but finally looked at her and said calmly, "I made some money."
"I am also interested in hunting. I wonder if Master Feng can take us out to play when he is free?"
"Hunting is not a game." Feng Huairen's face was serious and his voice was a little cold. It was not until Uncle Feng poked him that he slowed down his tone and said, "Madam, you can tell me what you like and I will hunt for you."
"That's good..." Wan Shufang's eyes lit up. She talked about many things she liked and pestered Feng Huairen with many questions, trying her best to attract his attention.
It was not until Chen Changli came back that she let go of his hand without making a sound.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Feng. If I can hunt it, I'll pay for it."
Hearing this, Feng Huairen was about to agree, but Old Man Feng had already rejected it: "No, no, the madam has been very kind to us. It is a blessing for Huairen to be able to work for the madam."
Seeing the unwillingness on Feng Huairen's face, Wan Shufang smiled and said nothing more. After chatting with Old Man Feng for a few more words, the two left Feng's house.
As they walked along the road, until they could no longer see the Feng family courtyard, Wan Shufang asked, "Changli, how is it? Did you find anything in his room?"
"Black Water Pill."
"I smelled the same scent as Niu Jinzhi, but I didn't bring it out for fear of alerting the enemy."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was shocked. She didn't expect Feng Huairen to be related to the Black Water Pills, but now was not the time to think about these things.
"We have to go back quickly. I feel that the ingredients of the Black Water Pills this time are different from those in the County Magistrate's Mansion last time." Wan Shufang looked solemn and quickened her pace involuntarily.
Chen Changli nodded, and the two of them, hand in hand, hurried back to the inn.
As soon as she returned to the inn room, Wan Shufang entered the space, took out the black water pill she got from Niu Jinzhi, and took out the instruments for testing.
After this test, they were shocked to find that this time the black water pill was more addictive than the last time!
Wan Shufang looked grim. She left the space and looked at Chen Changli who was waiting anxiously. She quickly told him: "Changli, this time the black water pill will make people more addicted."
As she spoke, a trace of disgust flashed across Wan Shufang's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that Feng Huairen is not a good person. His kindness to the old man is just hypocrisy, just for show!"
"But the old man didn't know. He just thought his son had gotten better."
Seeing Wan Shufang's angry look, Chen Changli reached out and rubbed the ends of her hair, saying calmly: "As long as he is still there, we will always find his braid."
Now, they can only wait...
