Li Xiaoran hesitated for a moment before asking, “Where is your home?”
“Pingxi Village outside town,” the mutton seller replied.
Luo Cheng knew about this village, so he was interested.
“Your village has many low slopes, right?! Do you use these slopes to nurture sheep?”
“That’s right! Sir, you know our village very well!” The man who bought mutton hoked.
“How about this? Leave an address and we’ll look for you in your village later!” Luo Cheng said.
“Alright, our house is also very easy to find. It’s under the big walnut tree in the innermost part of Pingxi Village! There’s no one around. Only our family lives there!” The man told them his address.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he thought of something and suddenly asked, “What’s Wu Dahao’s relation to you?”
The man was a little surprised to hear Luo Cheng’s words.
“Wu Dahao is my uncle! The reason our family feeds sheep to sell is because of my uncle’s idea!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard this.
“No wonder! Uncle Wu told me before that what he wants to do the most in his life is raise a lot of sheep.”
The man froze when he heard that.
“You know my uncle?”
Luo Cheng nodded. ‘Yes, I’ve seen him on the mountain a few times!”
“Since you guys know each other, things will be easier to handle! My uncle is in charge of raising all our sheep!” the man said happily.
Luo Cheng nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, see you in the village!” After the group left the mutton stall, Li Xiaoran was still a little confused.
“Husband, when did you meet people from Pingxi Village?”
“That was before I met you! Didn’t I often go up the mountain to hunt? I met Wu Dahao from time to time. At first, we rarely spoke. When we met, we just nodded at each other. Once, for some reason, the wild boars in the mountains actually went crazy and rushed over with their tusks when they saw people. Uncle Wu and I were unlucky and happened to encounter this scene. In order to survive, the two of us worked together and killed those three crazy wild boars.” Luo Cheng recalled some old events with a smile.
“After killing the three crazy wild boars, the two of us were also injured. However, it was getting late and there was no time to go down the mountain, so we dragged the three wild boars to the nearest stone house and spent the night together! Because I had medical skills and my injuries were relatively light, I treated Uncle Wu’s wound first before treating my own. That night, we cooked pork and chatted, so we got to know each other better!” With that, Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and smiled.
“The reason Uncle Wu wanders the mountains so often is to search for a good wild ram. He’s been researching how to raise good mutton all these years. In order to make the mutton taste delicious, he wants to find wild goats. It’s just that wild goats aren’t that easy to find, so he runs around the nearby mountains to try his luck!”
“In that case, Uncle Wu must have raised a good breed of sheep. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have seen his nephew selling mutton today!” Li Xiaoran said.
“I think it worked! I’ll go to Pingxi Village to take a look later! ” Luo Cheng said.
After that, the group bought some needed ingredients, loaded the carriage, and rushed towards Pingxi Village.
There were two carriages each. Luo Cheng asked Zi Zheng to drive a carriage filled with things back to the village first, while Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran drove the other carriage towards Pingxi Village with Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe.
At this moment, it was almost noon, so many people who were working in the fields began to pack up and go back for lunch.
The four of them asked for directions as they drove. Soon, they arrived at the Wu family’s house under the big walnut tree.
As soon as they got out of the carriage, many children ran out.
“Hello, who are you looking for?” a round-faced little girl with big watery eyes asked curiously.
“We came to the Wu family to buy sheep!” When Li Xiaoran saw the cute little girl, she reached out and touched her little head. Then, she took out a candy from her pocket and placed it in the little girl’s hand. “You’re so cute. Here’s a piece of candy!”
The little girl didn’t expect to get candy, so she took the candy with a smile and said, “Since I’m helping you call people, this will be my salary!”
When the other children heard this, they immediately shouted, “We’ll help you call people too!”
Li Xiaoran was also prepared. She took out a handful of candies from her pocket and gave one to each of the children.
Shu Ruyue gave candy to the children as well.
Soon, the children took the candy and ran into the Wu family’s house like a swarm of bees.
Soon, a white-haired man was pulled out by a group of children.
“Who wants to buy sheep?” A man asked.
“It’s me, Uncle Wu!” Luo Cheng stood up and shouted with a smile.
The man found the voice familiar. Upon closer inspection, he recognized Luo Cheng’s face.
Wu Dahao recognized Luo Cheng, so he quickly walked over and said with laughter, “Hahahaha, so it’s you! Why did you come to the village to look for me?”
Luo Cheng said with hearty laughter, “My wife wanted to eat roasted whole sheep! She happened to see someone selling mutton in the market in town, so she came to ask. In the end, we found out that it was your sheep, so we rushed over!”
When Wu Dahao heard this, he quickly pulled Luo Cheng inside.
As he walked, Wu Dahao said to Li Xiaoran and the other two, “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Since you came with Luo Cheng, treat this as your home!
Come, let’s go in and talk!”
When Luo Cheng heard Wu Dahao’s words, he nodded at Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran understood and brought Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe into the Wu family’s house.
“Wife, hurry up and bring out all the delicious snacks at home. The buddy who saved my life is here. Hurry up and come over to entertain him,” Wu Dahao shouted into the room.
“Alright, got it!” A woman said.
Soon, a woman in her forties walked out with two large plates of food. One plate was melon seeds and peanuts, and the other was some snacks and fried fruits..
