Chapter 144 Keep your voice down and don’t wake up my sister-in-law

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Also, didn't you say before that you didn't need those Chinese herbs and gave them all to me? When Lu Jiansen brought water into your tent for you to wash your face, she was secretly asking Zhang Bingyi how much those herbs were worth and why you didn't share some of your herbs with them. Later, when I walked over, she secretly glared at me and whispered to Zhong Jue that I just wanted to get something for nothing..." Qi Shuangshuang became more and more angry as she spoke.

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

She really didn't know that in such a short period of time, so many disputes had arisen between Qi Shuangshuang and Fu Jiani.

She patted Qi Shuangshuang's shoulder soothingly and said, "After we leave Jiling, we will never see her again. Don't let her affect our mood."

"Well. It's OK as long as you don't think I'm too busy!" Qi Shuangshuang quickly became happy because of Gu Xiaoxi's words.

When they arrived at the water source, Gu Xiaoxi only filled half a bucket of water and returned to the tent with Qi Shuangshuang.

Because Li Kun and the others had not returned, Qi Shuangshuang boiled some hot water and went into the tent to wash her body.

Gu Xiaoxi lit a circle of fire three meters away from the tent, with the tent as the center.

This is done not only to provide lighting and guidance for others, but also to prevent wild animals from approaching.

Qi Shuangshuang came out after washing up, and seeing the brightly lit surroundings, she felt particularly safe.

She said to Gu Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, go and have some rest first! I'll be on guard outside. If they don't come back later, you can take over."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse and entered the tent.

She tied a curtain over where she slept and then took off her clothes one by one.

She actually wanted to change clothes and take a shower all day today.

After the body is purified, although the body is washed clean by the skin purification technique, the underwear is still dirty.

She carried a bucket of water out of the new product showroom, heated it with flame combustion, and began to wash herself carefully.

She threw all the clothes she took off into the junk store.

After she finished taking a shower and changed her clothes, she saw that Li Kun and Lu Jiansen had not returned, and there was no sign of life nearby except her and Qi Shuangshuang, so she poured water again and washed her hair.

Because of the soundproofing technique, Qi Shuangshuang, who was warming herself by the fire outside the tent, didn't hear anything.

After blowing my hair dry, I looked at the stream and dried the water stains on the ground before crawling into my sleeping bag to rest.

After sleeping for three hours, Gu Xiaoxi sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Shuangshuang, haven't they come back yet?"

Qi Shuangshuang, who was sitting at the door of the tent in a daze, heard the sound and immediately walked in.

"No, you should sleep a little longer!"

Gu Xiaoxi immediately got out of the sleeping bag and put on his shoes. "It's your turn to sleep for a while!"

As she spoke, she took out her watch from her pocket and took a look. It was already one o'clock in the morning.

But no one, whether it was Lu Jiansen or Li Kun, came back.

"Xiaoxi, why haven't they come back yet? Did something happen?" Qi Shuangshuang said with a headache.

"It shouldn't be that serious. Li Kun is a soldier. With him leading Zhang Bingyi and the others, nothing should happen. There are no ferocious beasts nearby. Lu Jiansen is also very skilled, and nothing should happen to him and Si Nanyu and the others." Gu Xiaoxi comforted.

She said this out of trust in Lu Jiansen and an inexplicable intuition.

Also, when Li Kun and the others went out, she secretly used the life detection technique to detect that Zhong Jue was nearby, so as long as they looked in the right direction, they would be able to find him.

Of course, if they don't come back now, they may be doing something else.

There is a chance that you might come across some rare medicinal herbs, or you might run into some prey and go catch it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard laughter coming from outside.

"Brother Zhong Jue, you are so amazing! If Sister Gu and the others knew about this, they would be so jealous!"

Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at Qi Shuangshuang and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to be jealous or sleep?"

Qi Shuangshuang pursed her lips and smiled, "How about we both squeeze into your sleeping bag and sleep together?"

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her sleeping bag. Well, it could barely fit two thin girls.

"Then squeeze it!"

The two smiled at each other, got into their sleeping bags tacitly, covered themselves with their coats, closed their eyes and went to sleep.

When Fu Jiani and the others approached the tent, they found that no one came to greet them.

When she entered the tent again, she found Gu Xiaoxi and Qi Shuangshuang were already asleep.

She felt a little suffocated because she had no one to express her joy.

"They went to bed so early! I thought they were worried about us and couldn't sleep!"

Fu Jiani spoke very loudly, and Li Kun frowned with a gloomy face.

"Keep your voice down and don't wake up my sister-in-law. She's not feeling well and needs to rest."

Fu Jiani: “…”

She was so depressed that she couldn't even speak.

At this time, Li Kun added, "It's already past one in the morning, it's getting late, let's pack up and go to bed early!"

As he spoke, he took a pot of hot water from the stove, poured the water to wash his face, and soaked his almost frozen hands.

After washing his face, he sighed again, "Our sister-in-law is so kind. She heated up the water for us and lit fires all around to illuminate the way in case we got lost."

Fu Jiani: “…”

I've heard of people showing off their wives, but what does it mean to show off your sister-in-law?

However, she was happy, so she considerately helped Zhong Jue get some water for washing his face.

Inside the tent, Gu Xiaoxi closed his eyes and listened to a few sentences, and soon fell asleep.

…

The next day.

It was already six o'clock in the morning when Gu Xiaoxi woke up.

She didn't expect that Qi Shuangshuang got up earlier than her.

After getting dressed and walking out of the tent, she immediately saw Lu Jiansen making breakfast outside alone.

Lu Jiansen sensed the approaching breath of his little girl and turned his head immediately.

"Wake up!"

Gu Xiaoxi looked him up and down, "When did you come back last night?"

Lu Jiansen put one hand around her waist and kissed her on the lips, "You were asleep when I came back."

When Gu Xiaoxi was so nervous that her face turned red and her heart was beating fast, Lu Jiansen had already let her go.

"I'll have shredded chicken porridge for breakfast. Go wash your face first. There's hot water in the thermos."

Only then did Gu Xiaoxi notice that Lu Jiansen was cooking shredded chicken porridge, and there was a pot of processed pheasant meat at his feet.

So, they caught a pheasant last night.

After quickly washing his face and walking back to Lu Jiansen, he saw Si Nanyu coming back with a bucket of water.

Following Si Nanyu was Qi Shuangshuang, who was holding a pot of wild rabbit meat.

Gu Xiaoxi saw that they had already prepared the rabbit meat early in the morning and asked curiously, "Are you planning to cook the dish now?"

Qi Shuangshuang blinked at her and said, "Did you notice that we are the only ones here so early in the morning?"

Gu Xiaoxi looked around and found that it was true.

There were only four of them around the tent.
