Chapter 111 111. Plague

Nanwan Town.

The early morning sunshine had just penetrated the thin air-conditioning.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Nance sat lazily on the bedside. Looking at Mrs. Li folding clothes for him in the room, she felt that her "gentle wife" temperament became more and more attractive.

Already.

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The ancients never deceived me..."

"Feeling warm and lustful... Bah, I was born in sorrow and died in happiness."

These days, he has been staying in Nanwan Town. Apart from occasionally going to the fields to do some farm work, he has not done much exercise.

When he was at home, he was a twenty-year-old man, and Mrs. Li took care of him meticulously, whether it was eating, dressing or bathing, which made him really become a little lazy.

Tell the truth.

Nance resisted at first.

As a grown man, the most important thing he lacks is the ability to take care of himself. He even severely scolded Mrs. Li and asked her to stop serving him.

But under her constant gentle bombardment, he eventually fell. After all...it smells so good to have a woman at home doing laundry and cooking!

And the most important thing!

——Mrs. Li, she is not a bad woman!

But it is a pity that Nance is going back today.

Mrs. Li is bending over to pack her suitcase.

The hip-hugging skirt is paired with home leggings, tightly wrapping her waist and perfectly outlining her mature curves.

Staying at home all year round has made her skin look sickly white.

Folding Nance's clothes into the suitcase one by one, she tilted her head and showed a gentle smile: "I have packed all your things."

"Thank you, ma'am." Nance put the empty tea cup aside.

Mrs. Li saw it, stood up immediately, and made him another cup of tea.

Then she bent down again, raised her buttocks, put the deerskin waterproof bags she had sewn by hand into the suitcase, and spoke to Nance in a gentle voice: "I have sorted these seeds, and there are labels on each bag."

They are all labeled with the variety names, so you don’t have to worry about getting them mixed up.”

Nance thought about it and said, "Madam, why don't you come with me to New Yokohama?"

Mrs. Li's weak shoulders trembled, her back turned to Nance, and she shook her head.

"Have you ever heard an old ballad before, which begins with 'The bells of St. Clement's say, oranges and lemons?'" she sang in a soft voice, with a touch of seriousness, and as politely as a singer.

: "Shengke

The bells of Liment say, oranges and lemons, the bells of St. Martin's say, You owe me three coppers, the bells of Old Balais say, When will you return it? The bells of Shoredy say

Said, wait until I get rich."

"Do you know the next lyrics?" Nance asked.

"Yes, I know. When can I get rich? Wait until clean water boils out salt." Mrs. Li turned around, smiled slightly, with dimples at the corners of her mouth: "Clear water cannot boil out salt, I

I think you have to leave now. Go ahead, load up the livestock seedlings in the experimental fields, and then take Kiyohien back to Shin-Yokohama."

Nance raised the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality."

In Nanwan Town, Mrs. Li is an extremely ordinary woman, as weak as the air. However, no one will find that such a stubborn nature is hidden deep in the heart of such a woman.

His original intention was to let her follow him back to Shin-Yokohama, set up a new company in her name to cooperate with Du Xiuxian, and all future profits would go to their mother and daughter.

But the wife didn't want to leave, so he couldn't force her.

My sister is still young, so all the profits from these seeds can only fall on her... It would actually be more beneficial for him if his wife doesn't go back.

Outside the Li family courtyard, an off-road vehicle and a truck were parked.

Miss Su is packing the trunk of the off-road vehicle.

The tall figure was wrapped in a tight-fitting colored leather jacket with a soft and elastic texture, plus a set of small shoulder straps, making her look like a female mercenary preparing to do her job. In fact, what was carried to the car were just some ordinary farmhouse specialties...

While she was busy, Li Qingxian and Shadow each moved out an instrument and put it in the trunk.

After a while, Nance also came out and checked the second-hand truck he bought from the town to make sure it wouldn't break down halfway.

"No problem, let's go." Miss Su got into the cab of the off-road vehicle, knocked on the steering wheel and shouted, "The road is not going well, we have to go to the experimental field to load things quickly and get back to Shin-Yokohama before dark."

Nance climbed into the cab of the truck, started the engine, and clicked on the electronic screen to activate ventilation, positioning, radio, etc.

When preparing to drive, Mrs. Li came out of the house and handed Nance a crystal pendant carved with a harp.

"Please pass it on to Qing Lian." She blinked twice and stared at Nance expectantly.

Nance nodded and stepped on the accelerator.

The two cars drove out one after the other. Mrs. Li covered her chest with her hands and smiled.

There is only one narrow road in Nanwan Town. There are poor small markets, poor handicraft workshops, and poor hotels on the street... In the early morning, the poor hotel chef sat at the door, chopping a few onions, and washing them in the sink.

The barren food that can be grown on this vast land.

The root causes of poverty in small towns are similar to those in most wilderness areas.

Not only are these places lacking in resources, they also have to pay taxes to the government, donations to churches, and rent to the gentlemen... They have to pay here and there. It is a miracle that such a small town can survive.

The winter sun touches the calm treetops and pours light on the head.

The sleeping town gradually woke up, and the cold shotguns and hunting knives first glowed with the red light of morning glow as usual, shining clearly in the morning light; in the stables with open doors and windows, the horses looked back at the light pouring in from the door.

fresh.

Snowflakes shone on the iron lattice windows and rustled in the wind.

The dog in the kennel pulled hard on the chain, stood up impatiently, and wanted to be free.

All these trivial activities are the fireworks of the reappearance of morning light, windows are opened, rickety doors are opened, people are walking up and down the steps, shadows are flashing, and then the sound of chaotic footsteps is heard everywhere.

People came out shivering, the fresh and cold air making them shiver.

The day's work began in the beautiful morning glow, and almost all men and women went to the fields.

Some are digging the ground here, and some are taking care of the poor animals, leading the skinny cows to the grass that can be found on the roadside. In the only church in the town, two simple banners were set up in front of the cross.

There are two corpses on the bed board...

The middle-aged mayor and an old priest inspected the body.

There were many depressed or sad people standing nearby, talking quietly, showing no other emotions except worried curiosity and surprise.

Someone's cow was lying on the snow in front of the church, chewing its cud and chewing the unpalatable stuff.

After a long time, a young man came out of the church and rode his bicycle quickly to the foot of the mountain to the north of the town.

The remaining people were more or less armed and crowded nervously in the small church, but they were idle and did nothing. It wasn't that they didn't want to do things, it was just that they were powerless.

The dirt road leading to the experimental field.

Two dilapidated second-hand cars swayed one after another.

Following behind was a long truck. Because it was so old, its shock absorber performance was almost zero, making it very bumpy on the dirt road.

On both sides of the road are bare fields.

The figures of men and women working blindly in the fields looked very sad - in this town with no future, they lived on the lowest conditions and finally died here.

Inside the carriage.

Li Qingxian clasped his hands behind his head and chewed bubble gum boredly.

Bo!

Pop a pink bubble.

"Uncle, what did mom give you just now?" she asked suddenly.

"A pendant." Nance took it out of his pocket and showed it to her.

"boring."

Li Qingxian yawned, stretched out his slender legs, and put his two little feet on the dashboard.

"Put it down," Nance scolded.

Li Qingxian shrugged dismissively.
