Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 129: Change in Weather

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Change in Weather

Chi Sheng did not want to interrupt their family conversation and was silently considering whether to take Yuanbao away, but seeing his daughter clutching tightly to her, he dropped the idea.

After greeting them for a while, he called someone to invite them to dinner and then left the room with his hands behind his back.

The men in the room also left for the side room conscientiously so as not to disturb their sleep.

When Nanzhi woke up, her shoulder felt sore. She looked down and saw Little Yuanbao sleeping with her little mouth puckered.

Her clothes on the shoulder were also completely soaked through by the little girl’s drool.

"..."

Quietly getting up with the little girl in her arms, as Nanzhi tried to move her numb shoulder, she heard Yuanbao grunt twice and then began rubbing her eyes with her little hand.

"Mother, are you awake?"

"... Hmm..."

As the old woman Wang came to call them for dinner, she saw a group of people in the room, with their young lady holding on to a ugly woman.

"Old woman Wang." Upon seeing old woman Wang at the door, Yuanbao happily waved, "Look, look, this is my mother!"

By this point, Nanzhi simply couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore. After all, this little girl had decided she was her mother, and no matter how much she explained, she wouldn’t remember.

"Eh, it’s all right as long as the young lady has found her mother, but the leader has just asked me to call you for dinner."

Old woman Wang squinted her eyes, speaking slowly.

"Mother, let’s go eat, you’re too skinny, you need to eat more."

As she talked, the little girl got down from Nanzhi’s arms and held her hand walking outside.

Shen Miaomiao was the first to follow, and the others exchanged glances before standing up.

The chubby servant had said earlier that the people in this camp were all quite nice, and after eating lunch, they would let them go.

Just as Nanzhi stepped out from under the eaves, she felt dizzy. Instinctively, she picked up Yuanbao in front of her, and the next second, she heard the sound of something shattering.

Looking up, she saw a chunk of ice, the size of an egg, had fallen where Yuanbao had just been standing.

At that moment, Nanzhi felt as if her heart was about to pop out of her chest.

If she had been a step slower just now, the ice might have hit Yuanbao on the head.

The old woman Wang, standing next to them, also got frightened and quickly stepped under the eaves.

Not giving them any time to react, the sky had suddenly turned pitch black, as if someone had covered the entire sky with a black cloth.

The sound of hailstones falling followed, even cracking some tiles on the roof.

Nanzhi and her group could only grope around in the dark to get back inside and find an oil lamp in the areas they had seen earlier.

It took Lin Yicheng a lot of effort to light the oil lamp. Looking at the flickering flame, he dared not even breathe heavily for fear of blowing out their only source of light.

Everyone sat around the oil lamp on the ground, their faces showing conflicting expressions.

The strangest of all was Nanzhi.

Hail was supposed to fall in summer, why would it be hailing in October?

Thinking of the current weather, Nanzhi had to keep these questions to herself.

If it really is autumn, it shouldn’t be this warm.

The room was ominously dark, with everyone’s faces turning pale.

After many years, where had they seen anything like this before?

Why did the day suddenly turn dark like this?

Remembering the disasters and misfortunes that had befallen them over the year, the expression on the faces of the people of the Shen Family turned rather grim.

Why weren’t there events like these in the past? This year not only were there severe droughts and locust plagues, people even lost their lives. The river near the village also dried up....

Could it be that the heavens were truly angry, not allowing them to live anymore?

Little Yuanbao, Zhiyu, and a few other children hid in the arms of adults one after another. Nanzhi held two children in her arms, comforting them.

About fifteen minutes later.

The noise of hailstones outside slowly ceased, a ray of light penetrated through the window and everyone drew a sigh of relief.

If it has stopped, that’s good, that’s good.

Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were the first to open the door to look out. They saw piles of hailstones and shattered tiles scattered on the ground. Seeing that it was no longer hailing, they finally opened the door and called out, "Mother, you all can come out now, the hail has stopped."

While saying so, Lin Yicheng shivered mysteriously and rubbed his arms covered in goosebumps. He just stood aside, looking at the hailstones on the ground. He thought he was feeling cold just because of hail, so he didn’t say anything else.

With the hail stopped, old woman Wang continued to lead them to the backyard. The camp was crowded and, apart from those who had formed families, most people ate dinner in the backyard.

"It’s just ahead." Old woman Wang walked in front of them, pointing to a house.

Nanzhi held Yuanbao in her arms and Zhiyu tugged at her clothes, following behind.

But the moment they entered the house, Nanzhi was stunned.

The house was vast, filled with long tables, each one flanked with wooden stools. A single house could seat at least two hundred people.

The farthest in were windows, each with a lady holding a cooking spoon standing behind.

Some of the windows had already formed queues, men, women, old and young, all holding their bowls and chopsticks, chatted and laughed.

This seemed exactly like a school canteen?

While she was thinking, old woman Wang had already reached the furthest window and was waving eagerly at them to follow.

Seeing the group led by Nanzhi coming over, old woman Wang smiled and said, "This is a place set by our leader specifically. You can eat here today, we also have bowls and chopsticks here, it’s more convenient."

"Eh, thank you, old woman." Nanzhi replied woodenly, handing Yuanbao in her arms to old woman Wang who reached out to take her.

The lady standing behind the window was kind-faced. She looked at Nanzhi’s group in their dirty clothes and guessed that they were the ones brought back by the second leader.

She looked Nanzhi up and down and then, fetched a bowl for her, filling it to the brim with food.

"Eat more."

"Eh..."

Looking at the bowl of food in her hand, Nanzhi smacked her mouth. If the lunch lady at her high school had been this generous back in the day, it would have been amazing.

After everyone in the group had gotten their food, they found a table and sat down.

"I think we should stay here too?" Father Lin looked at his bowl of food and then at his wife.

Mother Lin looked at her own food, not nodding and not shaking her head.

"Let’s eat first." Aunt Guihua quickly spoke up and the group started nibbling at their bowls of food.

The moment the first bite of green vegetables entered her mouth, Nanzhi felt as if she had just tasted something extremely extravagant.

Not to mention that during the days of fleeing the famine, they could only eat dry pancakes and thin porridge; ever since she had arrived in this era, apart from the slightly bitter herbs, she had not eaten any green vegetables.

She hadn’t expected that she could get green vegetables even in a bandit camp.

The others looked at the green colour in their bowls and were also taken aback. After recovering, they quickly dug in, not even leaving a single grain of rice behind before they all sighed, rubbing their full bellies.

The food in this bandit camp was really good!
