Chapter 324: Who Should Be Blamed?

The only people who disliked snail noodles were those who never tasted it before.
If one couldn’t bring oneself to take the first bite, one wouldn’t like it.
As long as one took a bite, one would definitely like it.
Therefore, Little Huzi and Huang Yong, who had been very disdainful just now, quickly finished their bowls.
In the end, they even drank all the snail soup in their bowls.
“Sister Ran, this thing is really delicious! It stinks, but it’s very delicious!” Little Huzi said after wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
“It’s delicious, right?! I wouldn’t lie to you guys!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile. Then, she picked up another piece of rice noodles with her chopsticks and ate it.
“Sister Ran, in the future, Huang Yong and I will go catch snails every day. We don’t want money anymore. Cook us a bowl of these noodles every few days!” Little Huzi thought of something and said.
When Li Xiaoran heard Little Huzi’s words, she was amused.
“It’s not like I make snail noodles every day. How about this?! The next time my family makes snail noodles, I’ll call you guys over for dinner!”
When Little Huzi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately nodded.
“Alright, then we’ll go catch snails every day in the future and send them to you every day!”
Huang Yong nodded in agreement.
“You guys can catch river snails, but sell them to me. You guys worked hard to get them, so earn some pocket money to save for yourselves. As for the snail noodles, consider them my treat. If I need your help in the future, you guys have to help me!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Little Huzi and Huang Yong nodded in agreement.
The three children were full after eating a large bowl of snail noodles each.
Children rarely took afternoon naps, so after Little Huzi and Huang Yong bade farewell to Old Madam Jin, they went home to play.
Changsheng needed an afternoon nap because of his weak body.
Old Madam Jin simply let Li Xiaoran and Changsheng stay at home for a nap.
When they were decorating the house previously, Old Madam Jin had reserved a room for Li Xiaoran.
As for Changsheng, he could sleep in the guest room.
With these two people around, Old Madam Jin no longer felt lonely when she sat in the courtyard to rest. She felt wholesome.
After the nap, the three of them washed their faces and went to the shop in high spirits.
At the same time, Luo Cheng and Luo Han split up and rushed towards the capital from Sichuan.
Luo Han took the water route, but Luo Cheng took the mountain road.
The two of them led some people separately. After setting off from town, they parted ways.
The people who had been secretly monitoring the two of them were immediately dumbfounded.
They had no choice but to split into two groups and follow them.
Luo Cheng had long noticed the people following him, but he didn’t care at all. Although he couldn’t shake them off now, everything would be different after they entered the mountain.
To be honest, very few people were willing to cross mountains unless they had no choice.
However, Luo Cheng was different. He was a hunter to begin with. He traveled through the forest frequently and interacted with all kinds of wild beasts and small animals.
Therefore, after he brought people into the forest, he disappeared silently like fish entering the sea.
Those people following him got lost.
Not only did they lose track of Luo Cheng, but they were also trapped in the mountain.
On the first night, seeing that the sky was gradually turning dark, Luo Cheng found a cave to rest in.
This time, there were a total of two people who followed Luo Cheng. Their names were Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng.
The two of them had both been secret guards in the past. This time, in order to protect Luo Cheng, they revealed themselves and followed behind him.
The three of them looked around for dry firewood and lit a fire in the cave.
Because they were lighting a fire in the cave, the flames couldn’t be seen outside, nor would they attract the lost stalkers.
After setting up a pot, the three of them poured out some more water they had found on the way and took out the dry food they had brought.
“Young Master, Madam’s idea is really brilliant. I really didn’t expect the small noodles to be so delicious after being fried into flatbread and boiled!” Zi Cheng praised.
“That’s right! With this, we won’t have to worry about not having anything to fill our stomachs when we travel in the future!” Zi Zheng added. When Luo Cheng heard their words, he smiled slightly.
Li Xiaoran had fried this flatbread for him last night.
Because they were in a hurry, the entire family helped out.
With these fried flatbread, his journey would be much easier.
“Young Master, in order to follow you openly and be able to eat the food made by Sister-in-law and the others, our buddies fought tooth and nail. In the end, we won and s.n.a.t.c.hed this opportunity!” Zi Zheng said proudly.
Ever since they saw Ziyang become their young master’s younger brother and follow him around all day, the secret guards were extremely envious.
Now that there was finally a chance to follow their young master openly, everyone fought over it.
In the end, the group competed with each other. Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng won.
Luo Cheng was amused by Zi Zheng’s words.
“Didn’t you guys like to be secret guards in the past?! Previously, when I asked you guys to follow me out in the open, all of you refused. Why have you changed your minds now?”
When Zi Cheng heard this, he immediately played dumb.
“Is there such a thing? Of course not! Young Master, you’re so busy every day, so you must have remembered wrongly!”
Zi Zheng was more honest and said what was on his mind.
“That’s right. You must have remembered wrongly! Besides, Madam wasn’t around in the past. Ever since Madam came, everything has been different!
Every time I smell the aroma coming from that kitchen when I’m protecting Madam, I feel voracious!”
“Oh, so it’s because she made a lot of delicious food that you’ve changed your minds?” Luo Cheng said with a look of realization.
With that, Luo Cheng knocked Zi Zheng’s forehead with his finger.
“Kid, I really didn’t expect you to be such a glutton.”
Zi Zheng’s head hurt, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he covered the painful place with his hand and said pitifully, “Young Master, I’m actually not a glutton. You can only blame your wife for being too good of a cook. So it’s Young Master and
Madam’s fault!”
Luo Cheng was so angry that he laughed.. He looked at Zi Zheng and asked, you’re blaming me and my wife for this?”
