Chapter 590 I think you are still not hurt enough from being pulled

Now that they have reached Lingnan, the Xu family is no longer in a hurry.

No matter how far or unfamiliar the road is, the family has come here after traveling through mountains and rivers. Going further ahead is a place that Xu Minghui is relatively familiar with.

Compared with the Northwest a few years ago, at least here Xu Minghui had made all kinds of preparations in advance, so he didn't feel nervous.

It only took Xu Minghui half a day to change from being anxious and panicked at the beginning to being calm.

What Xu Yu said is right.

In fact, there are people in this world who are far more anxious than them, and are even less likely to watch the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction.

As long as they remain absolutely calm, they actually take the initiative in this situation.

Xu Minghui no longer urged Xu Yu to hold on tight. His mind, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly relaxed. He sat on the grass looking lazy.

He even had the leisure to tease Nuonuo and Yuanbao.

The two little guys were full of curiosity about their second uncle whom they had just met today. They rarely made trouble, but instead surrounded Xu Minghui and played around.

Xu Yu, the old father, finally found a chance to sneak up on Sang Zhixia while taking a break from his busy schedule. He pinched Sang Zhixia's fingers and whispered, "Zhizhi, your daughter just pulled my hair, and your son kicked me in the face."

Sang Zhixia was so angry at his pretended pitifulness that she laughed: "So your daughter and son are only mine?"

Xu Yu: “…”

"Where's that arrogance you had when you shamelessly threatened to have eight children? You're just getting started now, and you don't want to take care of the kids anymore?"

Xu Yu was silent for a moment, then shamelessly defended himself: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I didn't know what was good for me and spoke out without thinking."

"Zhizhi, these two are really enough for us."

That’s really enough.

Xu Yu's tenderness as a new father gradually wore out due to the various troubles his two little boys were causing day and night. Now he was completely unable to act arrogantly and felt powerless after being defeated by reality.

Sang Zhixia suppressed her laughter and clicked her tongue.

Xu Yu sighed with regret: "Why else do they say that children are a debt to their parents?"

"Are you giving up already?"

"Give up."

Xu Yu pointed at his still aching scalp and said with a deadpan expression, "I gave up when my eldest daughter and youngest son teamed up to pull out the third tuft of my hair."

Xu Yu acted so eloquently and pitifully just to get some tangible benefits from Sang Zhixia.

Seeing Sang Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled, Xu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Zhizhi, when we enter Lingnan King City tomorrow, it will be different from when we were on the road."

"You always say it's inconvenient to stay in an inn on the road, but when we get to the royal city, we should..."

"I don't think you've been pinched enough."

Sang Zhixia's ears turned red and she glared at Xu Yu in annoyance. She pinched the back of his hand to shake off the claws that were sticking to her, then walked around Xu Yu to the other side with her neck held high.

Xu Yu covered his hands, looking aggrieved: "Zhizhi, I..."

"Wait until I finish!"

Sang Zhixia walked away without looking back. Xu Yu tried to chase her but was tripped by Yuanbao who was holding her feet.

Xu Minghui, who was not far away, saw that the ingot was safely hanging on Xu Yu. He held the smiling eyes of Nuonuo and sneered silently: "It's his due."

"good?"

Nuonuo tilted her little head as if she didn't understand what her second uncle said. Xu Minghui looked down at her and the mocking look on her face towards Xu Yu was blown away by the wind. She smiled gently like a spring breeze, and even her voice softened by more than a tone.

"Yes, Nuonuo is the best."

"Come on, Second Uncle will take you to see the fish over there. I don't want to bother looking at your embarrassing father."

Tonight is the last night outside before entering Lingnan Royal City.

Because it was still some distance away from the royal city, Xu Yu simply chose a location on the wasteland outside the city. On the left was a winding river, and on the right was a not-so-dense forest.

The tents were set up in two circles.

The tents for the women and children were in the middle, and the men and guards were spread out in a protective circle for easy movement.

No one else has to worry about setting up the tent. Xu Mingyang and a few guys can finish it in less than an hour.

All Xu Wenxiu and the others needed to prepare was their last meal in the wild.

With the experience of the previous few months, preparing a decent meal in the wild was a piece of cake for them.

While checking the makeshift stove Xu Yu had built, Second Aunt Xu quickly instructed, "It's still early. Tell two people to take their bows and arrows and go for a walk in the woods. It would be best if they could bring back something to make soup."

The day before yesterday, Xu Yu and his men were lucky and hunted a deer in the woods, and they had barbecued it that day.

As a result, they enjoyed the meal, but eating too much caused internal heat. Sang Yanyou and his group of guys now have several red envelopes on their foreheads.

Song Liu ordered two guards to go into the woods together.

Xu Mingyang and the others set up the tent and volunteered: "Mom, let's go fishing!"

"We haven't used the fishing net that big brother bought for us on the road yet. Let's go try it out!"

Fishing net?

Aunt Xu said uncertainly, "The stream doesn't look deep. Can you catch any fish?"

"able."

Sang Zhixia took out the pots and pans that had been stored in the box and arranged them in order. He smiled and said, "I took a look when I first arrived. There were quite a few finger-sized ones. There might be even bigger ones hidden under the cracks in the rocks."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eager little ones jumped three feet high and cheered as they turned over the fishing nets.

Xu Minghui found it a little funny: "My uncle and I will go over and watch them."

With two adults watching, nothing should happen.

Second Aunt Xu waved her hand in disdain, signaling these rascals to get lost. She found a stone to place her chopping board on, and while cutting up some smoked meat she had recently bought in a town she had passed by, she said with a smile, "Don't tell me, I used to think that life was for beggars. It's better to have a spacious house and a respectable appearance."

"But in the past few months, I don't know if it's because there's been too much wind outside, but I actually feel like days like this are pretty good too."

Walking from north to south, they did not require comfortable food, clothing, housing and transportation, and most of the time they just did things casually.

If you pass by a place that you like and is sure it is safe, you can just find a flat place to set up camp, slowly look for some game from the mountains and forests, buy some local specialties from local farmers, and prepare a meal on the wasteland.

If you go to a small town, you can stroll around the streets and try new things you have never seen before. Even if your eyes and nose twist into a ball when you put them in your mouth, the novel taste will make you happy.

Xu Wenxiu also laughed: "But you're not the only one who thinks so."

"Actually, when I think about it, I've lived a life of nothingness for most of my life, and this is the first time I've experienced such a fulfilling life."

When she was young, she was a noble lady in a wealthy family, and after she got married, she became a wife of a high-ranking family.

People like them are born as if they were confined in a square house, and all they can see when they look up is the world in front of them.

If it weren't for so many unexpected events, the farthest place they could go in such a grand manner would be to enjoy the flowers when burning incense in the spring in the suburbs, or to watch the rain in the courtyard in autumn.

Besides, even if they live until the day they die, what else can they see?

Those who felt the same way nodded in agreement.

If we hadn't walked out of that square house, who would have imagined that the world outside would be like this?

The cooking work was done while they were chatting, and they did not need Sang Zhixia to help with the Cui and painted fans.

Diancui and Huashan helped to find some firewood. After they had gone around and were all sent away, they walked up behind Sang Zhixia and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Boss, everyone is busy, but we two seem to have nothing to do."

"I just saw some mushrooms at the edge of the woods. How about we pick some and make some soup?"

mushroom?

Sang Zhixia's eyes lit up slightly, but she shook her head and said, "You may not be able to tell whether it is poisonous or not. Let me go."

"Shall we go? Pick some mushrooms?"
