Chapter 230: Liefeng Plowing the Land
...
After Lin Yuelan returned home, she took out some pork and bones. She chopped two catties of fatty meat and one catty of lean meat. The rest were all taken to the ice cellar by little twelve.
Looking at the sky, Lin Yuelan prepared to boil the soup first. When the dumplings were ready, the soup would be so fresh and fragrant.
Lin Yuelan immediately got to work. She prepared ginger and chopped bones and put them in the soup pot. Then, she set up a cooking stove in the yard. She lit a fire and boiled the soup.
The soup was first boiled over a large fire, and after a while, it was taken down to a simmer so that the taste could be coaxed out.
After making the soup, Lin Yuelan returned to the house and immediately closed the door. Then, she closed her eyes and said, “Enter!”
As soon as she entered the space, she was surprised to see Liefeng drinking spirit spring water by the river.
As soon as Liefeng saw Lin Yuelan, it immediately ran over and rubbed its body against Lin Yuelan’s waist. Then, it stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Yuelan’s face. Lin Yuelan immediately pushed his head away and smiled, “Liefeng, you’re too passionate. Your saliva is all over my face.
“Also, Liefeng, although the river water is good, you can’t just drink them and not eat anything else. Look at you. Your fur has gotten so shiny! Also, I got you here to plow the lands, not to eat and drink.”
...
That’s right, Liefeng was in Lin Yuelan’s space. Liefeng was drawn into Lin Yuelan’s space to help her plow the land.
As Little Green used most of his energy to save Lin Yuelan, the space was also affected. Without Little Green’s energy, the space started to go wild too. If Lin Yuelan wanted to use more of her space, she had to clear away the wildlands first.
Little Green was unable to help in this case. Everything in this space had a spirit, including the soil and water.
The plants could take root and sprout here, but they could not loosen the soil themselves. All that had to be done through manual labor.
However, Lin Yuelan was so busy that she didn’t have the time to go into the space every day to loosen the soil. Besides, it was unrealistic to go into the space every day. People would find that suspicious. After all, how could people not be suspicious of people who went missing every day?
That was how Liefeng was dragged by Lin Yuelan into the space.
Liefeng was also a very intelligent horse. Moreover, two months ago, when they met for the first time, Lin Yuelan used Little Green’s energy to heal Liefeng. By drinking the river water, Liefeng became more intelligent too. It was now about as clever as a child around 10, except that it couldn’t speak.
Lin Yuelan put a pair of plowing tools on it, then made it walk back and forth in order to loosen the soil.
The soil here was definitely softer than the soil outside.
To Liefeng, it was not a very tiring job.
Liefeng looked at Lin Yuelan with a somewhat aggrieved expression. It had already plowed the land for more than ten days. It decided to take a break, and Lin Yuelan appeared just in case to scold it.
Lin Yuelan looked at Liefeng’s big round eyes and immediately softened her tone, “Alright. Liefeng, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have implied that you were lazy.” As she spoke, she looked at the seven or eight Mus of land Liefeng had already plowed. She said honestly, “to be honest, Liefeng, I’m very grateful to you! If it wasn’t for your help and who knew how long it’ll take for me to plow all this land.”
Liefeng rubbed its head against Lin Yuelan’s face. Then, it raised its head arrogantly as if saying, “Yes, you should thank me!” Then, it lowered its head and looked at Lin Yuelan with a wronged expression as if asking, ‘why am I the only one plowing the land? Little white, big black, and little black are all strong. Why aren’t they coming over to plow the land?”
Lin Yuelan seemed to understand Liefeng. She touched its head and giggled, “Liefeng, it’s not that I don’t want them to plow the land. But Liefeng, have you forgotten why I only let you plow the land?”
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Liefeng immediately lowered its head in dejection. This was because it owed Lin Yuelan. It was doing this to repay her.
Lin Yuelan touched its head again with satisfaction and said with a smile, “So, Liefeng, you should continue to plow the land. When you’re done, you would have returned your master’s favor!”
Liefeng looked at the barren land and instantly lowered his head in disappointment. When would it be done?
Lin Yuelan patted its head and said with a smile, “Liefeng, good luck!”
With that, she rushed to the field excitedly to find the leeks and scallions to make the dumpling fillings.
Liefeng looked at the satisfied Lin Yuelan and could only resign itself to its fate. It walked back and continued to pull the plow.
...
Before Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing arrived home, they smelled the strong fragrance of meat soup.
Guo Bing’s eyes quickly lit up. “Miss Lin cooked meat tonight. That’s great! We’ve been eating wild game every day, and I really miss the taste of pork!” Then, the group of people quickened their pace and headed home.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Doctor Zhang and his young attendant walking around the fire.
“Doctor Zhang, what are you looking at?” Guo Bing asked curiously.
Then, he sniffed the air. The fragrance seemed to be coming from the pot.
Guo Bing reached for the pot, wanting to see what kind of meat was so fragrant.
However, Doctor Zhang immediately smacked his hand back. “Lan ‘Er said that we can’t open the lid. Otherwise, all the fragrance will leak out. When we eat it again, it won’t be as delicious.”
Guo Bing immediately laughed bitterly. What kind of logic was this?
However, for the sake of the delicious taste, Guo Bing was still very obedient and retreated.
Jiang Zhennan glanced at the pot, and then he entered the house.
When he saw that the table in the room was arranged with beautiful, white, and chubby things that looked like Yunbao, he was slightly stunned.
‘What is this?’
