The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 109: The Situation on the Front Lines is Tense

"Little girl, do you have a letter from your fourth brother?" Li Huaxiang asked.

It has been a whole year since Cheng Liyao and Yuan Heng went on the expedition together. During this year, Cheng Liyao has been unfailingly sending them a letter once a month, and every time he would quietly leave the letter under Cheng Yu's window before leaving.

"Aunt, no. I got up this morning to check the window." Cheng Yu was also very worried. Her fourth brother's letter had been late for a week. Whenever she got up, either Li Huaxiang or her mother would come to ask.

But don’t be afraid, they have carrier pigeons, and they are very smart.

Ever since Xiao Ou and his friends could understand the languages of various birds, they picked out four wild pigeons from Shen Yue's (Liu Feng's wife) health club to train as carrier pigeons.

Maybe it was because it ate grains produced in the space, so it was so smart! And the Cheng family didn't deliberately trim the feathers, so it looked like a wild pigeon.

Some time ago, Xiao Ou and Guo Guo specially trained them to dodge various hidden weapons and arrows. Now the four little monkeys are very smart!

Last time, she asked Cheng Lixiao and the others to help transport grain, and she asked the four of them to go with them. Logically, they should be back by now!

"Miss, Miss, there's a letter for you!" Liu Hui ran in chattering. She has been in the Cheng family for more than two years and her personality has changed a lot.

Shi Shu and Shi Mo are becoming more and more calm, but she is becoming more and more noisy!

"What letter? Is it from Yao Ge'er?" Li Huaxiang was more anxious than Cheng Yu and ran out immediately.

"Miss, the letter is here with me. Where is the eldest lady going?" Liu Hui raised the letter in her hand.

Didn't she bring the letter in? Why did the eldest lady run out?

"Aunt is so concerned that she is confused. I hope fourth brother is okay! Otherwise the family will be in chaos!" Cheng Yu raised her little face. Her round face turned into an oval face. Her black eyes were very beautiful.

Ever since her adoptive father and fourth brother went to the front line, the Cheng family once again returned to Western Province.

Now, the whole family lives in the Western Province. In her princess's mansion, the three branches of the Cheng family each bought a large house near the princess's mansion, planning to live in their own house after Cheng Lixiao and his family get married.

Although she and the Murong Zi sisters, Murong Xueer, Zheng Rong and others have not seen each other for a year, their shops are now spread across every corner of Kyoto.

Not only that, except for Cheng's private customization and vegetable stores, all the stores in other provincial capitals have been turned into franchise stores, so there are milk tea shops in every province and city of Mu Country.

Today, Cheng Yu has become a real wealthy woman. After all, her partners are all golden phoenixes who can lay eggs!

During this year, Cheng Jin and Cheng Shang were not idle either. They followed Lord Zheng to promote the composting method. The people's ponds were transformed from stinky ponds at the beginning to precious ponds now.

Moreover, after the unremitting efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture and the active cooperation of the people, the granaries of Mu Kingdom were finally filled this year. Murong Qian was so excited that he was at a loss what to do.

The potatoes, corn and other crops planted in the suburbs of Beijing have been harvested. The harvest will be used as seeds for next year, so that the people of Mu Kingdom can really fill their stomachs.

"Sister, sister, where are you?" Cheng Lixiao was rarely panicked, and he hurriedly ran to Cheng Yu's yard.

"I'm in the pavilion behind!" Cheng Yu answered loudly.

What happened? Even the normally calm and composed elder brother was so anxious!

"Sister, have you received the news? The war on the front line is very intense. No wonder my fourth brother didn't write to us!" Cheng Lixiao was a little panicked. If something happened to his fourth brother, then their family...

Hmm? Hmm! Can’t think about it, can’t think about it!

"No! But I have a letter!" Cheng Yu pointed at the letter in Liu Hui's hand and said.

Then she took it and read it, and found that it was written by Murong Xueer to her. Saibei is very close to Liguo, and the war has been going on for a year.

The State of Mu successfully occupied five cities of the State of Li. Now there is a shortage of medicine on the front line, but the State of Rong is unwilling to supply medicine to the two countries of Mu and Li, and seems to be watching the fire from the other side of the river.

"Xue'er said that now Rong State directly refuses to supply medicinal materials to Mu State and Li State, so the war situation is very tense!" Cheng Yu thought as he spoke, and soon he came up with an idea.

"Xiao Ou, Guoguo, do we have any medicinal herbs in our space?" Cheng Yu asked.

If Rong Guo doesn't provide medicinal herbs, then we can only make up for it with what's in the space!

"Ah? What?" Xiao Ou was trying to speed up his hand, but was interrupted by Cheng Yu. He directly scored a lot of alcohol with only five points!

"Ah, sister! My bitter melon seeds!" Xiao Ou complained. He was originally trying to get bitter melon seeds.

But now, alcohol! Lots of alcohol!

"Yeah! I got it! A lot!" Guoguo was collecting golden medicine. He thought that Cheng Yu would definitely need it in the next two days, so he collected a lot of golden medicine with 3 points.

"What is that?" Cheng Yu took a look, wow, this, this, this... There was a pile of medicinal herbs and gold healing medicines in front of the space hut, and mainly a pile of alcohol.

"Ah! My dears, you are so awesome!" Cheng Yu looked at these things and felt relieved for some reason. The medicinal materials were far from enough, but every bit counts.

"What? I followed the escort last time and they didn't say anything! Is this matter so serious?" Cheng Lixiao said.

"Well, Xue'er asked me to collect the medicinal materials first, and then find a way to send them to them." Cheng Yu said calmly.

If conditions permit, she wants to go with him! But her grandmother will definitely not agree to her going to the front line to find her fourth brother, so she can only start from other aspects!

"Okay, then let's go collect medicinal materials together as a family!" Cheng Lixiao turned around and left the backyard.

His master was from the Cao Gang, so he should be able to raise some food and supplies, but no, he couldn't just leave his brother there.

"Xiao brother, what are you doing?" Li Huaxiang ran straight to the door, only to then remember that the girl Liu Hui said that the letter had been taken in.

"Mom, I have something to do at the escort agency!" The Sun Family Escort Agency also moved to Western Province along with the Cheng family.

This time we called Sunjia Logistics, which not only transports valuables, but also small common items, letters, wild goods... As long as they can be preserved for a long time, all kinds of things can be shipped.

"Ah, your grandma is back from Bai Ze County, and she brought some local chickens with her. I said I would cook them for you!" said Li Huaxiang.

"Huh? Grandma is back?" Cheng Lixiao thought that his backbone had returned and wanted to seek help urgently.

But when I thought about making the elderly at home worry, I gave up.

"Yes, she also said something like Miss Liu is back!" Li Huaxiang said immediately.

It’s also strange, why would my mother-in-law focus on this person?

"Okay, then I'll come back for dinner later. Mom, please prepare something delicious for me when I come back!" Cheng Lixiao suppressed his worries and immediately pretended to be happy.

"Okay, then mom will go find Nannan to ask something, you go first!" Li Huaxiang patted her eldest son's shoulder.

He is so much taller than her, he has really grown up! I just wonder how Yao Ge'er is doing?

"You can't tell this to my aunt, and no one in the whole family can tell it, do you understand?" Cheng Yu said to Liu Hui righteously.

"What can't you tell me?" Li Huaxiang heard Cheng Yu and Liu Hui say this at the door.

"Nothing! Nothing! Miss, I'll go and get busy first." Liu Hui thought of what the young lady said about not telling the first lady, and she couldn't hold back her words, so she ran out immediately.

"Why is this little girl so impatient?" Li Huaxiang looked at Liu Hui and shook her head.

Look at Shi Shu and Shi Mo, how calm and collected they are!

"It's nothing. Maybe he heard me say that I wanted to eat osmanthus cake, so he was busy making it!" Cheng Yu said calmly.

"Ah? You want to eat osmanthus cake? What can she make? Auntie will make it for you!" Li Huaxiang stood up and wanted to chase out to find Liu Hui.

"Aunt, why did you come to see me?" Cheng Yu knew that Liu Hui must be doing self-PUA, but he couldn't let Li Huaxiang go to her, otherwise he would be exposed.

"Oh, didn't you get a letter? I just wanted to ask if it was sent by your fourth brother?" Li Huaxiang patted her head and then remembered her purpose.

Alas, it’s really easy to forget things when you get older!

"No, it was sent by Xue'er from the northern frontier. She said she missed me!" Cheng Yu was glad that he burned the letter first.

She knew that her mother and her mother-in-law and daughters-in-law had been learning to read with Xiaoqi and the others in the past two years, so they knew quite a few words. It turned out to be the wisest choice to burn the letter after reading it.

"Aunt, Xue'er said she missed me and wanted me to go to their place to play for a while. What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked cautiously.

She first sounded out her aunt, then her parents, and finally tried to convince her grandparents.

"You? Alone? No, no, it's not that we don't let you go, but we're worried about you going alone!" Li Huaxiang felt sad when she thought that this little guy had grown up and had his own ideas.

And when I heard her say that she wanted to go to Saibei alone, that was even more unacceptable.

Cheng Yu underestimated how much the Cheng family cared about her. Li Huaxiang and Lin Pan'er would feel empty inside if they couldn't see Cheng Yu for a day.

After closing the store every day, I always run to Cheng Yu's yard to see Cheng Yu, and then I feel at ease.

"Ah, then aunt, what if I'm not alone? Is it okay?" Cheng Yu asked again.

Ah! If she can’t even get past her aunt, then…then! Her grandmother’s place!

Oh my God, please!

"Dad, I think I still need to tell you something! But don't tell my mom and the others. The war at the front is intense and we are in short supply of medicinal materials!" Cheng Lixiao said.

His master had tried his best to help him collect the materials, but these herbs were in short supply everywhere, and they could not buy them in large quantities, otherwise it might cause panic.

"Then what do you want us to do?" Cheng Jin asked.

One month after the war broke out, Yuan Heng sent someone to pick up his younger brother Cheng Tian and take him to the battlefield, asking him to go with the logistics department. After all, no craftsman could repair the crossbow cart made by Cheng Tian.

So now the Cheng family is not only worried about Cheng Liyao, but also Cheng Tian.

"We will try our best to collect medicinal materials. Dad and second uncle, you take the servants and Doctor Shen to the mountains and try to find medicinal materials. There should be a lot of herbs for treating colds in the mountains!" Cheng Lixiao had seen Doctor Bai and others go to the mountains to collect herbs.

Ever since Doctor Shen and his team came here, they have not brought in any small herbs like Isatis root, so he guessed that there must be enough of them on the mountain.

"By the way, send a message to Brother Fan and ask him to find a way to raise some money in Rongguo as well!" Cheng Shang said.

Ever since Doctor Shen and his team came, they opened Huichuntang. It is now run by my wife's nephew Zhao Fan, who is running the business very successfully.

"Brother, I have a classmate whose family does medicinal materials business with Rongguo. I'm going to ask him if he has any stock, or ask him if I can still get the medicinal materials now!" Cheng Yihua said.

He and Cheng Zhiwu are now Dean Shen's direct disciples, and many people will come to curry favor with them. Now that those people are needed, they will naturally not refuse.

So he and Cheng Zhiwu also gathered two carriages of medicinal materials.

"What? The Cheng family is now taking people to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs?" Liu Yue was in a cave on the green hill, staring at the man in black in front of her with wide eyes.

"Yes, miss, what should we do?" the man in black replied.

Let this little bitch be proud for a while. The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of Cheng Yu in Qingshan Village. What does a word "Miss" mean?

"That's not right! My talisman should be useful!" Liu Yue murmured.

"Nannan, look, this is the black Dongzhu that Liu Yue gave you. She said she got it from the Huguo Temple. It can keep you safe! You can always carry it with you!" Old Mrs. Cheng said with a dull look.

At this moment, the old lady's actions were rigid and emotionless, as if she was being controlled by someone like a puppet.

"Sister, that's not a black Dongzhu, that's pent-up energy, which is specifically used to absorb people's good luck!" Xiao Ou said immediately when he saw that something was wrong.

"Master, your grandma is in danger now. She is controlled by a talisman." Guoguo said.

What kind of fake system is this? It actually does such a heinous thing just to steal people's fortunes.

"Is there any way to solve it?" Cheng Yu asked.

Ever since she came here, her grandma has been extremely kind to her, and she can't let anything happen to her grandma!

"Leave this to me, but you may be in a coma for a few days. After all, one of the medicines is your precious blood!" Guoguo said.

It is the spirit of Yujue Space! And it is the first system created. Although it has been weakened a lot as Yujue Space was split into two, it is now complete. Now, it is invincible!

But the issue of heart blood is unavoidable. This puppet curse can only be broken by the heart blood of a blood relative!

"Okay! Come on!" Cheng Yu felt a little regretful. She had originally wanted to go directly to the front line to find her fourth brother and father!

"Ah! Grandma, grandma, what are you doing?" Cheng Yu suddenly felt suffocated.

She was distracted at first, and when she came to her senses, Old Lady Cheng was already pinching her neck, saying that it was all her fault and that she deserved to die.

Shi Shu and Shi Mo were so scared that they could only try to pull Old Lady Cheng away from them from the left and right, but they didn't know where the old lady got so much strength from. Even though the two of them, who practiced martial arts, pulled her, she didn't move at all!

"No! Grandma! I'm Xiao Yuer!" Cheng Yu said with all her strength. She now felt that she was getting less and less air.

"Ah!" A white light flashed, and Old Mrs. Cheng was shocked and fell to the ground.

"Yeah, sister, that's great!"
