Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 2: Be Calm and Take Things as They Come

Confused, the person beside him asked, "Why do you say that, Master?"

The young man placed his hands behind his back and looked in Xiaoxiao's direction.

"Because the carrier pigeon we put out is hanging on her waist."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They quickly pretended to chase after her, but the young man stopped them. "Since you can't send it out, just destroy it."

The young man then handed the letter to his subordinate, who had taken the opportunity and removed it from Xiaoxiao's waist just now.

The guard dressed as a hunter said, "I'm going to look for the nearest government official!"

The young man glanced at him. "You've lost your jade token and official documents. Guess if they'll beat you up or…"

He looked down at his hand and frowned. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the redness between his fingers before saying.

"Or will they bring more killers to kill me?"

The guards' faces were pale, and they were at a loss. Then, they were shocked. "That girl!" If she were the assassin's accomplice, their master would be in danger!

The young man stopped on the spot and recalled the woman's appearance just now. His tone was filled with disdain.

"If she's related to the killer, why did she especially show us the carrier pigeon?"

Moreover, the bamboo tube containing the letter was intact. It was obvious that it had not been touched.

The young man patted his clothes and walked in the direction Xiaoxiao had just left.

"Be calm and take things as they come."

…

At that moment, Xiaoxiao had already removed the bucket filled with fish from the space and returned to the dilapidated thatched hut.

When they separated from the family, Old Madam Ning did not allow them to live in their original place. She was worried that they would live close to each other and pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy, so she gave them the dilapidated house she had planned to destroy many years ago.

However, it was more to Xiaoxiao's liking to stay far away. She didn't have to be too careful when she was preparing dinner.

The owner was only twelve years old. In the modern world, she was still a child. However, it was not rare for such a child to cook in Fortune Village.

Before they separated from the family, Old Madam Ning scolded the owner and asked her to follow her mom to do all kinds of household chores. When she told her mom that she wanted to cook, her mom only hesitated for a moment.

At first, she thought she could do more work since her daughter could help.

However, when she saw the fish her daughter brought back today, she was really surprised.

She knew about the river at the end of the village. Not long ago, the village gathered to net all the fish that could be seen. After that, the villagers stayed by the river for an entire day, but no one could catch any fish.

Unexpectedly, her daughter was lucky enough to meet the fish and catch them.

Madam Song was overjoyed. "Good. It can be divided into three parts. The fish head can stew soup, the fishtail can stew vegetables, and its body can be smeared with salt to make salted fish. We can eat for a few days."

With that, she reached out to take it.

Xiaoxiao did not forget her mission to make pickled fish. Frowning, she quickly retracted her hand.

"Mom, we agreed that if I catch a fish, I'll decide what to do."

Although Madam Song could not bear to waste such a good fish, she was even more unwilling to ruin her promise to her children. Hence, she nodded after thinking for a while.

On the other hand, the second son, Ning Erlang, was extremely worried. "Mom, are you going to hand it over to Sister? What if it's overcooked?"

Madam Song knocked his head. "How many wild vegetable dumplings made by your sister did you eat yesterday?"

Ning Erlang moved to his brother's side with a red face.

Unexpectedly, his brother, who always said few words, taught him a lesson while weaving a bamboo basket. "As a person, you have to keep your word."

On the other side, Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen. She took out the fat grass carp from the bucket and even muttered something.

"It's been hard on you to suffer in such a cramped place for so long. I'll let you relax now."

After saying that, she threw it to the ground without even blinking.

At the kitchen door, Ning Erlang, who was about to persuade his sister to reconsider, swallowed his saliva and silently stopped.

Xiaoxiao was multitasking. She picked up the kitchen knife and swiftly cut the fish's stomach open. At the same time, she greeted her second brother.

"Second Brother, what's the matter?"

Ning Erlang watched as his sister raised her hand and cut down, cutting the fish's stomach. He cupped his hands very wisely. "I see if you need help."

Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. "Can you get me a jar of pickled vegetables?"

Every family in Fortune Village had pickled vegetables.

The farmers relied on the cropland to grow vegetables for food and drink, but food could not be provided every season. So everyone marinated all kinds of dried and pickled vegetables in advance.

Most of them were pickled vegetables and dried radish.

There was no other reason. These two items were durable and not worth much money.

Because of this, the Ning family readily gave them a few jars when they separated from the family.

To be honest, Xiaoxiao did not agree with the taste of this pickled vegetable.

It was obvious that Second Aunt made this jar. It was only little salt, and the taste was faint.

However, this was not important.
