Chapter 47
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's embarrassment, He Qin raised his eyebrows slightly; "Can't say?"
"Um."
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "If I can tell you, I will definitely tell you."
After hearing these words, He Qin felt relieved instantly. It was not that he couldn't say it, but that he was unwilling to say it.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Well, after the New Year, let's go to the mountains and spend some time alone together, pretending to be doing business, and then ship the seeds back. What do you say?"
"It's okay, but..."
Lu Xiaobai scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Why do you want to go alone? Aren't Brother Lingyi and the others going?"
He Qin: ...
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
He Qin turned around and took the basin away.
Lu Xiaobai ran out and happened to meet Lingyi and Lingsan who were returning with meat.
And now their clothes are much cleaner and no longer smelly, but their whole bodies are wet, as if they had been fished out of the water.
Lu Xiaobai ran over in surprise: "Brother Lingyi, why are your clothes wet?"
Lingyi handed the meat in his hand to Lu Xiaobai and said, "It was too dirty, so I went to wash it in the river. This is the meat that the village chief gave us. It's four pounds in total, all lean meat."
Lu Xiaobai happily took the meat and urged them with a smile: "Then go change your clothes quickly and don't get sick."
"Okay, then please put the meat in the kitchen."
Lingyi was very gentle and patient towards Lu Xiaobai.
Ling San looked at his arm with disdain and said, "Those who practice martial arts won't catch a cold even if they don't wear clothes in the cold winter!"
Zero One: ...
Four pounds of meat is not heavy, but because it is tied with a rope, it is very tight on the hand. Lu Xiaobai's hand felt a little painful after holding it for a while.
He was about to go into the house to put the meat away, but when he heard Ling San's words, he subconsciously turned around and said, "That's because you are young and healthy now, so you don't get sick. But if you keep doing this, when you get old and get sick, you will develop a root cause of illness."
In fact, Lu Xiaobai didn’t understand either, but that’s what his parents said.
His family is rich, so he doesn't care about anything except his health.
Without a healthy body, no matter how much money they have, it will be useless.
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer and rushed into the room with the meat in his hand. This scared Ling Si inside, who quickly took the meat and put it away.
Ling San, who was standing outside, felt confused for the first time because of his master's words. After a long pause, he asked Ling Yi, "Do you think we will ever grow old?"
Lingyi burst out laughing: "Who knows, we'll talk about the future later."
Ling San turned around and looked at Lu Xiaobai who was laughing happily in the kitchen and thought, I hope the master will never take Lu Xiaobai away from here.
Because Lu Xiaobai is only suitable for a place with such simple folk customs.
Because we slaughtered a pig today, lunch time was delayed. Now the brown rice has just been prepared and we are waiting to put the meat in the pot to stir-fry.
Lu Xiaobai sat in front of the stove expectantly, helping Lingsi light the fire. Watching Lingsi cut the meat into small strips, he suddenly remembered Feiyun who bit him last time.
Lingyi also cut the meat into small strips when feeding Feiyun, but he hadn't seen that ferocious bird for a long time.
Lu Xiaobai asked curiously: "Brother Ling Si, where did Feiyun go?"
Although the bird was ferocious, it was still a member of his family. Now that it was missing, he should care about it.
Zero Four looked up when he heard the question: "It disappeared the next day. Zero One looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I don't know where it went."
Feiyun is missing, which is what the master is most worried about. He is worried that the people over there will find them based on Feiyun's traces.
"Gone?"
No wonder I haven't seen it these days.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry. It's so fierce, it won't starve to death if it goes out. Maybe it will come back one day."
Lu Xiaobai didn't know the details, and Ling Si didn't reveal them. He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it will be fine."
"Yeah, then hurry up and make dinner. I'm hungry."
Lu Xiaobai didn't eat much today and he vomited everything, so he is very hungry now.
And there is meat and fish today, which is a feast for the people in this place, and of course, for Lu Xiaobai too.
He asked with some anticipation: "Brother Ling Si, how many dishes are you making for lunch today?"
Ling Si was chopping ginger when he heard Lu Xiaobai's question. He looked at the ingredients he had prepared and said, "I'll make three today: one boiled fish, one small vegetable dish, and one stir-fried meat."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaobai lay in front of the stove and laughed secretly. Sure enough, there would be delicious food on a big day like slaughtering a pig.
Ling Si can be said to be the best cook among the few people. With the addition of onions, ginger and garlic, both fish and pork are cooked very fragrantly. Lu Xiaobai almost drooled when he was lighting the fire.
There's nothing he can do. It's not that he's greedy, but the food here is too bad. The meal they have today is something many families can't even have during the Chinese New Year, so he's still happy.
As usual, Ling Er had corn, everyone else had brown rice, and only Lu Xiaobai had white rice.
White rice now tasted very delicious to Lu Xiaobai, who used to be a picky eater. With the delicious dishes to go with it, Lu Xiaobai ate two bowls of rice directly. He burped at the end, and only after He Qin scooped a spoonful of fish soup for him to drink did he feel better.
But some people were dragged by He Qin to take a walk to help digest the food because they ate too much.
Lu Xiaobai followed He Qin somewhat reluctantly. He could just sit at home, so why did he have to go out?
Fortunately, there is not much sunshine today, otherwise it would be a bit hot if I wore too thick clothes. However, Lu Xiaobai can also feel that the weather will probably be cloudy or rainy in the future because it is winter and it is getting colder.
But it doesn’t matter. Cold weather has its advantages. When the river freezes, we can break the ice and catch fish, so we can have fish to eat every day.
Speaking of eating fish, Lu Xiaobai suddenly became interested. He grabbed He Qin's arm and asked, "He Qin, did you catch the fish in the river today? How did you catch it?"
He Qin changed his head: "Do you like it?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Yeah, Brother Ling Si made it very delicious."
“It’s really delicious.”
He Qin thought about it and felt that since Lu Xiaobai liked it, he could just have someone catch it every once in a while.
Lu Xiaobai was young to begin with, and now he was in a playful mood again. He grabbed He Qin's hand and said excitedly, "Let's go catch some more now. It's a good time to digest our food."
Anyway, the two of them didn't have to work, and since the New Year was coming soon, there was nothing to be busy about, so He Qin nodded and said, "Let's go."
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Xiaobai happily followed him to the river.
But He Qin did not go directly to the river. Instead, he went to a forest not far away, drew a soft sword from his waist, cut two suitable wooden sticks, and was sharpening them, waiting to go into the river to spear fish.
There was nothing wrong with this series of operations, but when Lu Xiaobai saw He Qin suddenly pull out a sword from his waist, he was stunned. He always carried weapons with him. This was a dangerous person!
Moreover, He Qin kept the sword on his waist every day, but he had never noticed it!
He Qin finished sharpening the stick and turned to find Lu Xiaobai staring at him in surprise. He subconsciously put the soft sword away and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaobai pointed at He Qin's waist, touched it in disbelief and said, "You, you, why do you carry a sword with you at all times? And you hide it on your waist. Aren't you afraid of being cut in half by yourself?"
He Qin: ...
You really can't look at Lu Xiaobai with ordinary people's thinking. His imagination is too rich, and it's not auspicious.
He Qin didn't say anything. He threw one of the branches to Lu Xiaobai and turned to walk towards the river.
Lu Xiaobai held up a harpoon made of branches and quickly followed: "Why are you angry again? My worries are justified. Look at your sword, it's so sharp that it breaks branches in one go. Your flesh is so soft, isn't that..."
Lu Xiaobai trotted after He Qin. He was halfway through his sentence when He Qin suddenly turned around, grabbed his shoulders, pulled him into his arms, pressed his head against his chest, and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to try whether I'm hard or soft?"
“???”
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pushed him away with a red face, and ran towards the river without saying a word.
I ran while cursing in my heart, how shameless! How could you drive after doing something like this?
He Qin smiled from behind and quickened his pace to catch up.
The river was not deep, but not shallow either. He Qin took off his outer pants, rolled up his inner pants to his thighs, and went into the water with a harpoon.
Lu Xiaobai had just taken off his shoes when his white and tender feet touched the water and immediately pulled them back: "This, this is too cold, I don't want to go in."
He originally thought it would be fun to go into the water, but when he felt the coldness of the river water, the idea of playing disappeared instantly.
He Qin knew he would do this, so he turned around and said, "Then go get some straw and twist it into a small rope to tie the fish with later."
Lu Xiaobai: ...
What, what is sedge?
He Qin was afraid that he didn't know the place, so he pointed to the woods and said, "It's in the innermost part, go ahead."
In the woods?
Lu Xiaobai curled her lips and said, "Why didn't you pick them together? I just came here and now I have to go back."
He Qinwan looked at the fish in the water, curled his lips slightly and said, "I forgot."
Then he stabbed the fish with a fork, picked it up and swung it, and a fish flew onto the shore, flying in the direction of Lu Xiaobai's gaze.
The moment he saw the fish, Lu Xiaobai stopped complaining and turned around and ran into the woods. For such a big fish, he needed to find more grass to tie it up.
Lu Xiaobai hurriedly ran into the woods, completely unaware that as soon as he left, a figure appeared by the river.
Lu Xiaobai didn't know what sedge grass was, so he searched for it in the woods for a long time. However, many kinds of grass were not suitable for tying things. Finally, he saw some very long and thin grass on the stone wall at the end. He thought it should be okay, so he took all his effort to pull up a handful and walked back.
I thought that since he had been delayed for so long, He Qin should have caught a lot of fish, but when he returned, there was still only the one on the ground.
And the fish died because he was away for too long.
He Qin also put on his pants and was sitting on a big rock on the side, holding a rope in his hand, staring intently.
Lu Xiaobai ran over and handed the grass in his hand to He Qin to see: "He Qin, look, is this the kind of grass?"
