Chapter 210 Strange Smell
Ning Yan rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard that. This wasn't a question of whether he was taking advantage of her or not. The key point was that it was daytime and they couldn't have a deep communication. There was a fire and they couldn't put it out. Wasn't that torture?
However, he was helpless about Huo's behavior and could only let him take advantage of him.
After finally touching every part of his body, Huo finally let him go and began to tidy up his messy clothes.
But before I could put my clothes in order, the door was pushed open and Ning Jing came in.
Seeing this, Huo Yu raised his body slightly to block Ning Yan's view, then asked, "Why aren't you playing outside?"
"Making lunch, Grandma Zhou asked to get some wine." Ning Jing answered in a baby voice.
Then he looked towards Ning Yan with confusion and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with Dad?"
Why were Dad and his father's postures so strange? Not only was Dad's back turned, his head craned to talk to him, but he couldn't even see Dad's shadow.
"It's okay, your father's arm hurts, so I gave him a massage." Huo said calmly.
Really? Ning Jing was confused when he heard this. When did Dad's arm hurt?
Since his father was unreliable, he decided to go and take a look himself.
The moment Ning Jing came in, Ning Yan quickly raised his hands to tidy up his clothes. When Ning Jing walked to the bed, he had already tidied his clothes.
He sat up and pointed to a ceramic jar in the corner and said to Ning Jing, "That's it. Just give it to Grandma Zhou."
This is a kind of medicinal wine he made, used to stew duck.
Someone in the city was selling chicks and ducklings, so Aunt Zhou bought some and raised them herself. After a few months, they are now ready to eat.
So Ning Yan made some medicinal wine in advance and stewed the duck. This way of eating not only makes the duck meat fragrant, but also nourishes the body.
Ning Jing looked at Ning Yan's flushed face and frowned as he said, "Dad, did Dad bully you?"
Ning Yan tidied up his messy hair and tied it up casually with a hairband, then explained with a smile, "No, your father is giving me a massage."
After hearing this, Huo Jing immediately carried Ning Jing to the bed and said to him with a stern face, "What are you talking about, little brat? I'll bully you but not your father."
"Hmph, then why is daddy's face so red? You must have bullied daddy." Ning Jing said angrily.
As he spoke, he broke free from Huo Xi's hand that was tugging at his collar, threw himself into Ning Yan's arms and said, "Dad, don't be afraid. Even if Dad hits you, I'll protect you."
Ning Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Xi when he heard this. I told you not to do anything in broad daylight, and now you've caused your son to misunderstand you.
Huo? received Ning Yan's gaze and raised his eyebrows. Anyway, his son was still young, so it all depended on how his wife would fool him.
Ning Yan glared at Huo Jing, then lifted Ning Jing up with both hands and kissed him on the cheek. Then he said, "Your father really didn't bully me. He was really just helping me relax."
When Ning Jing heard his father say this himself, he knew that he might have misunderstood, so he said, "Okay, then I'll believe you this time."
Huo? was very depressed after hearing this. When did his words become so untrustworthy?
Ning Jian saw Huo Jing's depressed expression and his mood suddenly brightened. He put Ning Jing on the bed and said to him, "Daddy, change your clothes and go out with you."
"Okay." Ning Yan immediately nodded his head.
When Huo saw Ning Gang was about to go out, he also prepared to put on his clothes and go out with him.
After packing up, the three of them went out with the jar of wine.
After handing the wine jar to Aunt Zhou, Ning Yan prepared to go to the table to drink a cup of cold tea. After the quarrel with Huo, he felt a little thirsty.
Some people in the house were resting in their rooms, while others were playing cards.
Poker was made of bamboo by Ning Yan and Old Man Zhou when he was bored, so that they could play it when they had nothing to do.
Huo Yun and several other children were standing by the tent, playing a dart game in the rain.
Ning Jian poured a cup of cold tea for himself and Huo Yan.
After taking a sip of the herbal tea, Ning Yan frowned. Why did he feel that the herbal tea tasted so strange today?
He couldn't describe the feeling, so he took another sip and realized that his throat felt a little uncomfortable when he drank the herbal tea.
Then he put down the teacup and asked Aunt Zhou, "Aunt, what did you use to make this herbal tea?"
After Huo took a sip of tea, he heard Ning Yan ask this question. Not knowing why he asked this, he put down the teacup in his hand.
Aunt Zhou was a little surprised when she heard Ning Yan's question, but she still replied, "I just cooked it according to the recipe you gave me before. What's wrong?"
"Nothing else was added?" Ning Yan asked again.
"No." Aunt Zhou said strangely.
Ning Yan was a little surprised when he saw this. Why did he feel that today's herbal tea had a strange taste?
Then he turned to look at Huo Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, do you taste anything strange?"
Huo Hearing this, he took another sip, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so?"
He seemed to be drinking the same way as usual, but that might be because he didn't usually care much about what he ate and drank.
As long as there is no drug in it, he generally finds it difficult to distinguish overly subtle flavors.
Duan Zhili also said at this time: "I also drank this herbal tea today, but I didn't notice any taste."
Others followed suit, saying it felt no different than usual.
Ning Yan thought it was his illusion, but he still called Ning Jing over and asked him to taste the flavor of today's herbal tea.
My youngest son's sense of smell and taste are more sensitive than the average person.
Hearing this, Ning Jing took a sip of the cold tea from the cup Ning Jian handed over, and then said, "Dad, it tastes a bit uncomfortable."
Hearing his son's affirmative answer, Ning Yan was sure that it was not his illusion.
Seeing this, Zhou Youfeng speculated, "Could someone have put something in the water?"
Logically speaking, his mother has made herbal tea many times, so there shouldn't be any problems. If it's not a problem with the herbs or the technique, then it must be a problem with the water.
However, their wells are usually covered at night and only opened during the day. On rainy days, they are usually covered except for drawing water.
And they have people on duty every night. If someone comes and throws something in the water, there is no way they won’t notice, right?
After hearing this, Ning Yan asked, "When did you get the water for making herbal tea?"
"I went to get it after breakfast." Duan Zhixian said.
They put a water tank under their pergola. The tank is not particularly big, just medium-sized. To provide three meals a day for dozens of people, plus to cook herbal tea and wash dishes, they have to fetch water at least twice a day.
It's raining today, and we have to cook duck. The duck needs to be scalded and cleaned, so it consumes more water. So Duan Zhixian went to fetch water after dinner to make it easier for Aunt Zhou and others to use for cooking.
