Chapter 16
The thought of never being able to go home made Lu Xiaobai feel desperate. He cried himself to sleep, and even in his dreams he was crying and searching for his way home.
But those roads, those beautiful houses and streets, his loving parents, and everything about modern times were gone from him.
Lu Xiaobai woke up crying. He was already very sad, and then he found out that he had missed lunch because he fell asleep, and it was already afternoon.
There were no clocks here, so he had no idea what time it was, but he could sense that it was getting dark and that it was almost time for dinner.
Lu Xiaobai wiped her tears and felt that He Qin was too cold. After all, she was his nominal wife, so why didn’t she take him with her to dinner every time?
During the few days since he came here, he either ate clear soup, a small bowl of white porridge, or had nothing to eat. Now his stomach was growling with hunger.
Thinking about what he had experienced in the past few days, Lu Xiaobai felt so aggrieved that he wanted to jump into the lake.
There is no one who cares about him and loves him. No one cares about his well-being. No one takes care of his food and clothing. He really, really, really feels wronged.
Lu Xiaobai lay on the bed, pulling the quilt over his head. He didn't want to go out, not even if he was hungry. Those people didn't care about him anyway, and they didn't even give him food, and maybe didn't even cook for him.
Lu Xiaobai bit his lip and couldn't help but sniffing, thinking, why not, I should find a lake to jump into tomorrow. Instead of staying in such a place and suffering, it would be better to die and be done with it.
Lu Xiaobai gritted his teeth and thought angrily: "I'm dying, wuwuwuwu..."
Lingyi stood at the door and heard this, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "What happened to my sister-in-law? Why is she dead?"
When Lu Xiaobai heard someone coming, he threw off the quilt angrily and sat up, complaining to the door with tears on his face: "You didn't call me for dinner, I'm starving..."
He had never been so hungry in his life. No one had ever called him at mealtime, but only these people, only these people didn't give him food.
Lingyi finally understood why Lu Xiaobai had been crying. It turned out that he was hungry. He smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't call you. No one had lunch today. We brothers went hunting in the mountains. The road is quite long, and we just came back not long ago."
Although Lu Xiaobai was spoiled, his family protected him very well. He was innocent, cute, and easy to coax, so he didn't doubt whether Lingyi's words were true or not. He was immediately attracted by Lingyi's words and asked with a pout, "So, what did you catch? Is it edible?"
Because Lu Xiaobai was sleeping, Lingyi stood at the door, not daring to cross the line into the house. He smiled and said, "Of course you can eat. We have a rabbit and a pheasant tonight. Lingsi has already prepared them and is roasting them. Big brother asked me to call you over."
Barbecue?
Several scenes instantly emerged in Lu Xiaobai's mind, but after thinking about it, he felt a little disappointed because those equipment were not here.
However, it is also good to have rabbit and chicken to eat, at least these two kinds of meat are much more tender than pork.
Lu Xiaobai pretended to be angry and pouted. As he put on his shoes, he said, "So, you came because he asked you to call me?"
Zero One: "Yes."
Then listen to He Qin?
Lu Xiaobai was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look up after wearing one shoe: "Then, if he doesn't let you come, you won't come?"
Ling nodded: "Yes."
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head in disappointment. "Why should I listen to him? You're so tall, can't you beat him?"
Ling nodded: "I can't beat him."
Can he win?
He Qin's status is there. Not to mention that he really can't beat him, even if he can, he wouldn't dare to do so.
His only mission in this life is to be a slave to He Qin.
"Oh well."
Lu Xiaobai understood. No wonder He Qin looked younger than those brothers but became the eldest brother. It turned out that he did it by relying on his fighting power.
He looked at Lingyi with some sympathy, and then encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, practice hard, and then take the position of big brother!"
Zero One: ???
Lingyi's mouth twitched constantly. If he took He Qin's position, he would die miserably, okay?
Lu Xiaobai left after he finished speaking. Today he was wearing the new clothes that the village chief gave him, and it looked pretty good.
Because country people have to work every day, the clothes they wear are mostly gray, white, black and floral, so that the clothes are not easy to get dirty, or the dirt is not so obvious.
But considering Lu Xiaobai's marriage, the village chief bought him a light blue embroidered gown.
Although the quality is not good, the color is very suitable for Lu Xiaobai's skin tone, especially at dusk, it looks very delicate and ethereal.
Because the kitchen was too small, the barbecue was moved to the yard, and Lu Xiaobai saw it as soon as he went out.
Several people were sitting by the fire. On top of the fire was a rabbit sizzling with oil. Ling Si was sprinkling salt on it. It was sizzling and smelled quite fragrant.
Lu Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over and squatted obediently beside the fire. He completely forgot that he still hated He Qin just now. He subconsciously put his hand on the other's thigh, shook it gently and asked: "Can I eat now? I'm hungry..."
Feeling the touch on his thigh, he lowered his head and looked at Lu Xiaobai's red eyes from crying. Her wet eyes looked at him innocently and expectantly...
He Qin's body was stiff, and he had no idea what to say.
If it were before, no matter who made this move, he would kick the other person away immediately.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't make him feel that way, or even think about...
He Qin did what he thought. He took out two green fruits from the bamboo basket on the other side and handed them to Lu Xiaobai, saying, "Wait a little longer. Eat this first."
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment when he looked at the fruit in He Qin's hand, then he let go of He Qin's thigh and slowly moved towards Ling Er.
He moved and shook his head: "No, it hurts."
He had taken a bite of this thing last time, and it was very sour. Lu Xiaobai didn't want it, but he was tired of squatting, so he raised his hand and leaned it against Ling Er's leg.
Ling Er was so frightened that his face turned pale and he jumped up. Lu Xiaobai was about to fall down and subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, the expected feeling of contact with the ground did not appear. Instead, he felt a warmth on his back. When he turned around, he saw that He Qin was holding him in his arms.
He stood awkwardly and reached out to push He Qin away, but his hand was grabbed and forced to pinch the two green fruits on his face.
Lu Xiaobai didn't want to eat it, but He Qin looked fierce, so he didn't dare to refuse. He stood aside with the fruit in his hand, feeling aggrieved. Just then, Lingyi brought a small stool over and handed one to him, and then they all gathered around the fire to eat the rabbit.
Worried that He Qin would cause trouble for him, Lu Xiaobai sat close to Lingyi. Whenever Lingyi moved a little, he would lift his small stool and follow.
Lingyi was so scared that he was sweating profusely but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He didn't even dare to look at He Qin's face, but Lu Xiaobai still refused to leave.
Until He Qin reached out, grabbed Lu Xiaobai by the back of the collar and pulled him in front of him, hooked the bench with his foot and placed it next to him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Sit here and don't move!"
