Chapter 114 Ordering Meal
After instructing the two little beggars, Lan Ning went to the city gate to wait for the two men who had disappeared into nowhere.
There were no snacks to eat and no mobile phone to surf the internet at this moment. Lan Ning was feeling so bored waiting at the city gate.
She was too bored and just stared at the people entering the city, causing the people in the queue to turn their heads to look at her, thinking that she was too pitiful or had lost her parents and was looking for help here.
One woman was even called by her family to ask what happened to her.
Hearing the question from the young woman in front of her, Lan Ning's face turned red. She knew that her standing there must have caused them to misunderstand.
Lan Ning quickly waved to the young woman and gave her a sweet smile.
"Sister, I'm fine. I'm here waiting for my brother and sister. We agreed to wait for each other at this city gate, but I came out early and they haven't arrived yet."
After listening to the little girl's explanation, the woman did not ask too many questions. She just nodded and went back to join her family's team.
Lan Ning waited outside the city gate for a full hour before the two people who were reveling in their carriages came back.
As soon as he came back, he saw Sister Lan's pouting mouth, which was almost big enough to hang an oil barrel. Bai Tian scratched his head in embarrassment. He was too excited about learning how to drive a horse-drawn carriage just now, and accidentally ran a little too far.
Lan Ning saw Bai Tian's guilty look and knew that the responsibility for picking her up so late was entirely his. She glared at him, and without saying a word, she climbed into the carriage with her butt sticking out and left angrily.
Sister Lan was angry, and Bai Tian was the sinner. Meng Anran also glared at him, followed him into the carriage, and comforted this little ancestor.
Although he had no target for the time being and had not yet received any message from the two little beggars, Lan Ning still ran to the county town every day.
You can't rely on others for everything, you still have to think of ways yourself.
As she walked, she realized something was wrong. Someone was following her. Could she be so unlucky that she met a human trafficker again?
Lan Ning was panicking and reached into her messenger bag.
She asked her grandmother to make this for her. It was inconvenient to take things out of the space frequently. With this cross-body bag, she could provide a lot of protection.
She walked quickly with a clear goal, which was to walk towards the restaurant.
Her speed increased, and the people following her also increased their speed.
These human traffickers are too brazen. There are so many people on the street, yet they dare to kidnap children so blatantly. These damn human traffickers, when I grow up, I will definitely catch them all.
The person following her was following her too closely. Lan Ning had no choice but to start running, and as she ran, the person followed her.
But his body was so small that he couldn't outrun him no matter what, and was grabbed by the shoulder by the person following him.
Without thinking, Lan Ning quickly pulled out a pair of tongs from the space under the cover of her messenger bag and hit the human trafficker behind her. However, the trafficker was quite powerful and grabbed her tongs.
But what's the use of catching her? This little bit of strength can't do anything to her.
She pulled out the fire tongs and was about to strike again, but perhaps fearing her attack, the man spoke immediately.
"Sister Lan. It's me. What are you doing?"
Hearing this sound, the fire tongs swung in the air and quickly turned a corner and fell to the ground.
"Brother Mu, why is it you who scared me?"
"I saw you in the pharmacy. I just wanted to come out and say hello to you, but you left. You left so quickly. Did you avoid me because you didn't want to see me?"
Now Lan Ning understood that it was a misunderstanding.
She was so focused on her surroundings that she didn't notice Mu Zhongting and his pharmacy at all.
"Brother Mu, I'm sorry. I almost hit you just now. Are you hurt?"
Mu Zhongting rubbed the palm of his right hand and took a deep breath in pain.
Lan Ning was startled. It was over. Someone was hurt.
He quickly grabbed Mu Zhongting's hand and checked it, only to see that his palm was blue and purple and was now swollen.
It’s over, it’s over. My hand is like this. Is the bone broken?
"Come on, Brother Mu, hurry up, let's go back to find Grandpa Mu."
Lan Ning said this and took Mu Zhongting's hand and walked towards their pharmacy. No matter how Mu Zhongting struggled, he couldn't get free.
Mu Zhongting didn't want his grandfather to know. If he knew that it was Sister Lan who caused his hand to be like this, he would definitely be unhappy.
But Sister Lan was so small and so strong that he couldn't break free at all.
Lan Ning was pulling in the front, and Mu Zhongting was playing tug-of-war in the back, leaning completely backwards. However, even so, the soles of his shoes made a crackling sound as he was dragged forward.
The pharmacy was not far away, and when he saw Grandpa Mu, Lan Ning took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Old man Mu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and checked his grandson whom he held in his palm. Later, he found that the injury only looked serious and there was nothing wrong with the bones. He returned to his nonchalant look.
"It's okay, little girl. A grown man gets hurt like this. If it were me, I wouldn't even scream."
Old Man Mu spoke in a firm tone, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
However, the injured party did not show any concern, but she, as the one who hurt others, could not act as if she did not care at all.
"It was me who caused Brother Mu's hand to be injured like this. Although the bones were not broken, it was still serious. It will take at least 10 days to half a month to heal. As compensation, I will cook you a delicious meal."
After saying this, the emotions that Old Man Mu had just concealed were finally released, and he looked like he couldn't wait any longer.
Lan Ning was very helpless. Grandpa Mu was so old, but when he heard a little girl like her say that she wanted to cook for them, he didn't feel embarrassed at all and was so looking forward to it.
Alas, there is no way. It's my fault for hurting his grandson and asking for this. Since I said it, I might as well do it.
Mu Zhongting excitedly took Sister Lan to their kitchen. When they got there, they saw that the kitchen was very clean. It was so clean that Lan Ning couldn't believe it. There was not even a piece of firewood or a bowl in it.
"Brother Mu, you have nothing in here, what do you usually eat?"
Mu Zhongting scratched his head embarrassedly.
"My grandfather and I don't know how to cook, so we order food from the neighbors and give them two taels of silver every month. When they cook, they just make an extra portion for us."
Lan Ning sighed, his little face full of helplessness.
"Then I said I would cook for you. How can I cook for you? There is nothing."
This was a rare opportunity, how could he give up just because he didn't have the materials? Mu Zhongting hurriedly said he would go buy them, and he was so fast that Lan Ning couldn't stop him.
