Chapter 159 My Wife Can't Be Frozen
Seeing that Qi Shuangshuang and the others had moved almost all the things outside into the tent, Gu Xiaoxi lit two fires in the middle of the tent, one for boiling water and the other for drying clothes for everyone.
Lu Jiansen simply washed his hair, wiped his body, changed into clean clothes and came out.
Then Zhang Bingyi came in with water and pulled the curtain.
"Xiaoxi, our dinner is ready. Would you like to eat?" Qi Shuangshuang brought over the earthenware jar containing the food.
Gu Xiaoxi took a look and saw that it was yam stewed chicken, so he nodded and said, "Let's have a bowl of chicken soup first."
Qi Shuangshuang pursed her lips and smiled, then immediately served her a bowl of chicken soup.
"Have you eaten?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
Qi Shuangshuang nodded, "We've eaten."
"So do you want to eat some pine nuts? We picked a lot of them today. You can fry some."
"Okay!" Qi Shuangshuang immediately opened the bag, put the pot on the stove, and started frying the pine nuts.
She may not be that good at cooking, but she can still stir-fry pine nuts.
When she saw the two large bags of pine nuts, she was a little surprised. "So many? And they are all peeled."
"It takes up too much space if you don't peel them. Please help me divide all the pine nuts into five portions later."
Qi Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, "Why divide it into five parts?"
Gu Xiaoxi took a sip of chicken soup and said, "We'll go to Daji City tomorrow and send it back from the post office. One for you and one for me. Then Si Nanyu can send one home, and I'll send one to Lu Jiansen's home. The one I keep will be sent back to my home."
Seeing Xiaoxi wanted to share so many pine nuts with her, Qi Shuangshuang said with a smile, "Then you and Lu Jiansen don't want them anymore?"
Gu Xiaoxi pointed to her bag and said, "I still have some in my bag. I don't really like pine nuts."
When Qi Shuangshuang heard her say this, she nodded.
"Then I'll find a few more bags to pack them."
Gu Xiaoxi finished drinking the chicken soup and was about to get up to help Qi Shuangshuang pack it, but Lu Jiansen served her half a bowl of rice.
"Eat some more!" He put a chicken leg in her bowl.
"Oh!" Gu Xiaoxi ate his meal obediently.
After dinner, she cleaned the two ginsengs she had dug today, packed them into two boxes, and handed them to Si Nanyu.
"This is what we harvested today. One ginseng is for your grandfather, and one is for you to bring back to the Lu family for your grandfather."
Si Nanyu was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Lu Jiansen.
Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, "Just follow my wife's wishes."
Si Nanyu chuckled, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of my grandfather."
"Leave one Ganoderma lucidum for Mr. Qi, and take the rest back with you." Lu Jiansen said calmly.
He came to Jiling just to get the hundred-year-old ginseng.
Si Nanyu knew this, so he nodded and didn't be polite to him.
After the water was boiled again, Qi Shuangshuang and Si Nanyu went to wash up one after another.
Zhang Bingyi sat by the fire feeling a little reserved, looking outside the tent from time to time.
Gu Xiaoxi knew what he was worried about and reminded him, "The rain won't stop so soon. It will rain until at least the middle of the night. There's food in the pot, so just help yourself! Zhong Jue is good at hunting and is more comfortable in the mountains than you are. They should be back soon."
"I'm just worried." Zhang Bingyi sighed and went to eat.
Seeing that Qi Shuangshuang was still frying pine nuts, Gu Xiaoxi boiled some water and filled all the water bottles and everyone's water bottles.
She used the remaining hot water to soak her feet.
The rain outside is still falling, and it's getting heavier.
As the rain continued, the weather became colder.
However, because there were two fires lit in the tent and Gu Xiaoxi used the heat-gathering technique, the room was exceptionally warm.
From Zhang Bingyi's perspective, inside and outside the tent are two different worlds.
He originally thought that he would suffer tonight because of the heavy rain, but unexpectedly, after dinner, he felt a rare sense of leisure and comfort.
Because Gu Xiaoxi actually brought tea.
She made tea for everyone, and they drank tea, ate freshly roasted pine nuts, and chatted from time to time.
The atmosphere inside the tent was very good, but far away from here, two people were struggling to move forward in the rain.
One of them didn't walk properly, and the two people who were supporting each other fell down.
By the time the two found the right direction and returned to the camp, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxi had already fallen asleep.
In order to avoid being disturbed by the rain during her sleep, she even blocked out the sound.
Because of this, she did not hear Zhong Jue and Fu Jiani making loud noises after they came back, expressing their dissatisfaction about no one looking for them.
Lu Jiansen, Si Nanyu and Qi Shuangshuang woke up almost at the same time.
Zhang Bingyi didn't sleep at all because he was worried about them.
When Gu Xiaoxi woke up at dawn, the first thing he saw was Fu Jiani throwing herself in Zhong Jue's arms and acting coquettishly.
"Brother Zhong Jue, I seem to have a fever, I feel so uncomfortable!"
Zhong Jue touched her forehead and found it was a little hot, so she quickly called Zhang Bingyi over.
"Bingyi, Jiani has a fever, please help her."
"Okay." Zhang Bingyi ran in quickly from outside.
Seeing that Fu Jiani's face was really red from the fever, Gu Xiaoxi took out a packet of antipyretic powder from her bag and gave it to Zhang Bingyi.
"I brought a packet of antipyretic powder, you can give it to her!"
She didn't bring many medicines, only the most basic ones, and in small quantities. She only had one packet of antipyretic powder.
"Thank you!" Zhang Bingyi was a little worried at first, but now that he has the antipyretic medicine, he is not so worried anymore.
When Fu Jiani saw the ankle-length duck down coat that Gu Xiaoxi was wearing, which looked very warm, she suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Sister Gu, I feel so cold, can you lend me your clothes?"
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
She suddenly said something rude and didn't know how to respond.
Lu Jiansen came into the tent from outside and just happened to hear these words.
His face suddenly darkened and he refused coldly, "No. You can cover yourself with a blanket if you are cold, but my wife cannot be frozen."
As he spoke, he walked forward, helped his little girl to straighten her clothes, and helped her put on her hat and gloves tightly.
"It's very cold and windy outside today. Don't catch a cold."
"Well. Let's pack up and go down the mountain!" Gu Xiaoxi looked outside and found that it was a very cloudy day today and the wind was also cold and gloomy.
"Most of the things have been packed up, except for the tent." Lu Jiansen rubbed her head gently.
When Fu Jiani heard their conversation, her eyes reddened and tears just fell.
Zhang Bingyi: “…”
Everything is fine, why are you crying?
Zhong Jue wiped her tears with his hands, "Aren't you sick? Let's go down the mountain together."
He had been out for so long yesterday but hadn't caught any game, so he had gained nothing. Therefore, he didn't plan to stay in the mountains.
According to his experience, the animals should have gone deeper into the forest.
It’s not that Fu Jiani doesn’t want to go back, she just feels uncomfortable.
She wanted Zhong Jue to pamper her and coax her like Lu Jiansen did to Gu Xiaoxi.
She wanted beautiful clothes like Gu Xiaoxi's.
She thought that since she was sick, Gu Xiaoxi would not reject her.
After all, she was just borrowing clothes, not asking for her clothes.
However, the person who rejected her was Lu Jiansen, the man who looked so cold that people dared not look him in the eye.
Despite her dissatisfaction and reluctance, she still took the antipyretic powder.
