Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

The weather was getting drier as it approached noon. Nan Jinming picked up the handkerchief he had brought with him and wiped the sweat from his neck. His face was already red and the hair on his forehead was wet and stuck to his face.

Nan Jinming picked up a sickle, walked out of the cornfield, and walked into a small path nearby.

With quick eyes and hands, he picked up three corns in the cornfield, peeled off the tender leaves but did not remove them. He hung the three corns upside down and grabbed the leaves to make it easier to hold them in his hands.

Nan Jinming looked up at the sun. It was very dazzling, but she felt happy. Others might not be able to endure such hardship, but compared to the past, this kind of life was what she longed for.

When they arrived at the back mountain, the dense grass almost blocked the road. Nan Jinming bent down to clear all the weeds, opened a small path, threw the corn in his hand into the bushes next to him, and covered it with grass.

Nan Jinming then felt at ease to go into the mountain. The trap was not far away, just at the foot of the mountain and very close to the farmland. Because rabbits like to come here to find food, it would be perfect to dig holes here.

"It should be around here..."

Nan Jinming bent down and used a sickle to weed while looking for the trap he had set.

How strange.

"Swipe!"

"How dare you! Who sent you here?"

The man's face was pale, and he held his shoulder tightly with his right hand. Blood seeped through his fingers, dripped down his slender fingers, and dyed his white clothes red.

"You're almost dead, yet you're still talking nonsense. Prepare to die!"

The two women wearing black face scarves were chasing the man. They were ruthless and the wind from their swords created layers of wind and waves around them.

The man held a sword in his hand, blocking the opponent's attack, but after all, it was one against two, and the strength gap between the two sides was huge.

Am I really going to die here today?

Why is he here?

Nan Jinming found a big tree to hide under and frowned. The familiar figure reminded her of the past.

This person must be rescued.

Not daring to think any more, Nan Jinming covered half of his face with the sweat towel, leaving only his eyes exposed. He picked up a two-finger-thick wooden stick on the ground and flew forward to block the attacks of the two women in black.

It’s better not to cause trouble and just drive the person away.

"Here comes another one seeking death."

The two women looked at each other and approached Nan Jinming with swords. The man in white was obviously exhausted and fainted.

Nan Jinming looked back at the man, then turned around and began to attack the two women frantically without reservation. The man was awake, and if he exposed his martial arts, he would definitely be recognized.

After a few rounds of moves, the two women were obviously struggling. After all, they were holding swords and did not get close to the opponent. It was summer now, and the clothes of the three were already soaked with sweat.

Nan Jinming hit one of the women in black on the back of her hand with a stick, knocking the sword down directly.

"Who are you?"

Nan Jinming pursed his lips, then grinned and said carelessly: "Draw your sword to help the weak. I was just passing by here, and saw you two women bullying this thin young man, so I couldn't stand it, so I took action."

"How dare you interfere in Prince Qingping's affairs! Get out of the way!"

"Who is the Prince of Qingping? I am just a peasant woman from the countryside."

Nan Jinming tightened his fingers around the wooden stick. The two men in front of him didn't look like killers. They were probably just following orders. What a Princess Qingping! It's a rare opportunity to run into her lackeys here.

"court death!"

Seeing that Nan Jinming was not interested, the two women did not intend to waste time talking to her. They picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and shook them, saying, "Then I won't be polite."

After that, he started fighting with the two of them again. He caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. Nan Jinming's eyes flickered. He knocked the two people in front of him to the ground. Then he heard hurried footsteps coming from not far away, and there were quite a lot of people.

"Son!"

When Bai Ran arrived, he only saw a woman in coarse cloth disappearing in the bushes not far away, and under his feet were two women in black who had fainted.

"Deal with those two."

Following Bai Ran's order, the two people at his feet were soon beheaded.

"Bury it, don't scare others."

Bai Ran picked up the young man in white clothes lying on the ground by the waist, not caring whether the blood on the man's body would stain his clothes. The followers beside him all consciously made room for him.

"There is a village nearby. There should be a doctor there. Go find him quickly."

Bai Ran held the light-footed person in his arms and walked very fast. The group of people soon left the back mountain.

On the country road, Nan Jinming was holding a furry gray rabbit in one hand and three or four corns in the other, and he was walking towards his home with brisk steps.

Smoke was rising from the country courtyard. Nan Jinming walked to the fence and saw Nan Chenliang's busy figure.

Next to the duck pen, Chu Xiaoran was bending over and sprinkling corn kernels in his hand to the ducks.

"Xiao Ran, Chen Liang, I'm back."

Nan Jinming opened the fence and walked into the yard. Chu Xiaoran listened to the sound and looked over. He immediately saw the gray rabbit in Nan Jinming's hand. The furry ears were held in Nan Jinming's hand. The rabbit seemed to have given up struggling. It drooped down and was too lazy to move.

"Sister Jin Ming! You're back!"

Nan Chenliang wiped the water on his hands on his apron, then stepped forward and took the corn from Nan Jinming's hand, looking like a good husband, and gave Chu Xiaoran a provocative look without saying a word.

Nan Jinming was careless and didn't notice the atmosphere between the two people. He was going to the kitchen with the rabbit in his hand.

"I went to the back hill to take a look after I removed the grass. Just then, a rabbit fell into the hole I dug half a month ago. Let's have rabbit meat for lunch today."

As Nan Jinming was about to take the big knife from the chopping board, Chu Xiaoran frowned slightly, held the melon in his arms, walked in front of Nan Jinming, and said in a negotiating tone: "This rabbit doesn't look big, maybe it can be raised, why don't we not eat it today..."

Nan Jinming has never been a kind-hearted person. He looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him with some doubts and asked with a sneer: "Are you heartbroken?"

"No, it's just that when I was hungry, I would hatch chicks from eggs and then raise them to eat. This rabbit looks very small, and although it is fat, the meat is not firm and tastes..."

"You really know a lot. Sister Jin Ming finally caught a rabbit from the back mountain to eat. You are talking so much here, just to keep this rabbit?"

Nan Chenliang peeled the corn in his hand and cleaned the corn silk. He went to the kitchen to wash the corn, put it in the pot, added water, covered it with a wooden lid, and turned on the fire. He listened to Chu Xiaoran's words with his ears perked up and made a few sarcastic remarks.

"Well, if you want to keep it, just keep it."

Nan Jinming held the rabbit and handed it to Chu Xiaoran, looking at him with amusement. Would people from the city be afraid of this thing?

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaoran took the rabbit in his arms with a calm expression and smiled back at Nan Jinming: "Chen Liang brought some meat from home today, saying that he wanted to improve your diet."

"You tell me! Green Tea Man!"

Nan Chenliang was a little angry and didn't want Chu Xiaoran to say those words. He did all this voluntarily, just hoping that Nan Jinming would be able to see his love one day.

Nan Jinming glanced at Chu Xiaoran beside him and knew what he meant. He turned to Nan Chenliang and said angrily, "Okay, Chenliang, don't bring the meat from home to me in the future. I can't bear it. I've been alone for many years. Don't waste your time on me."

"Sister Jin Ming, what are you talking about? Dad asked me to bring this meat. He said that I was embarrassed to stay at your house and eat your rice and drink your water, so he asked me to bring some meat."

Nan Jinming looked aggrieved, lowered his eyes, and tightly grasped the apron around his waist with both hands.

"So that's how it is. I misunderstood brother Chenliang."

Chu Xiaoran held the rabbit in his arms, touched its ears, and smoothed its fur. Perhaps it was frightened, and now it stayed quietly in Chu Xiaoran's arms with its eyes open.

"Xiao Ran, put the rabbit in the woodshed first. I'll make a nest for the rabbit after dinner this afternoon. Whether it can be kept alive depends on you."

Nan Chenliang snorted coldly and didn't intend to pay any more attention to Nan Jinming. He always liked to help an outsider in everything. What was so good about Xiao Ran?

After the meal was ready, the three of them sat at the kitchen table to eat. The sun was scorching at noon, and sitting in the yard would make the stools so hot that they would burn their buttocks.

The kitchen can provide shade. There is a natural mountain spring behind Chu Xiaoran's house, and the water for cooking is brought from the back mountain.

"It's so hot this afternoon, are you still going out, Sister Jin Ming?"

Nan Chenliang picked up a piece of meat and put it in Nan Jinming's bowl.

"The corn fields have been weeded. It's raining and hot, so there's nowhere to go. How about I take you to the creek behind the mountain to catch shrimps?"

"Okay!"

Nan Chenliang was the first to applaud.

Chu Xiaoran grew up in a big mansion and was not familiar with these things. He could only listen to some of the new servants talking about the things in the village. But it didn't take long before they became snobbish and were always lured away by Chu Zixuan and ignored him. Naturally, fewer people spoke.

"go?"

Nan Jinming noticed that he was distracted again and asked softly.

"Okay."

Chu Xiaoran curled his lips and said with a smile.

The lunch time was spent happily with us chatting.

The other side is different from the current scene.

"Doctor, how is my son's injury?"

Bai Ran watched the male doctor come out of the room, and hurriedly walked up to him and asked.

"This is a knife wound. I have helped him stop the bleeding. His wound is on his waist. The wound is quite deep. Fortunately, it didn't hurt his vital parts. But now the weather is hot, it is easy for pus to accumulate and get infected. We can send him to Yuecheng, which is ten kilometers away, for treatment. The medicines in the clinic there are naturally better than what I brought here."

Bai Ran gave a look to the guards next to him, and everyone understood and turned to look for a carriage.

"Here is ten taels of silver. Thank you, doctor."

Bai Ran handed the silver to the doctor and rushed into the room. Looking at the pale-faced man on the bed, his heart ached. He walked to the bedside, half-knelt on the ground, and stretched out his hand to brush the man's hair on his forehead.

"Sir, why did you leave me here and run out by yourself? If I hadn't arrived in time, would we have been separated by the Yin and Yang now?"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Bai Ran's eyes. If anything happened to the Young Master, he would definitely make all those who had hurt the Young Master buried with him!

"Sister Beitang...it hurts so much...it hurts so much..."

Bai Ran reached out and held the man's fingers. His palms were soaked with cold sweat, but the expression on Bai Ran's face was a little gloomy. He bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, so hard that blood oozed out.

It is restraint, it is reluctance to let go, it is admiration, and it is unattainable due to the disparity in status.
