Chapter 61
"I don't know him, really?"
He Qin looked down at the black cloth that Lu Xiaobai had thrown on the ground, and asked with a smile, "So, I think no one saw anything when you opened your clothes, right?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded subconsciously: "Of course, I'm wearing such a thick cotton coat, how could they see it? It's not like there's a see-through..."
But before Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. What did he just say? What did he say?
Is He Qin trying to trick him again?
Seeing Lu Xiaobai stunned, He Qin let him go and smiled as he got on the oxcart carriage. "Lingyi, drive the cart, let's go."
Lu Xiaobai was completely stunned. It was over. Did He Qin also think he was dissolute and wanted to put him in a pig cage?
But he was wearing something round, and even if you just pulled his clothes, you could see a thick cotton coat underneath. At most, there was a string of money hanging on the button. Apart from that, what else could you see?
But what Lu Xiaobai imagined did not happen. He Qin said nothing, turned around and got on the ox cart, letting Lingyi drive away. It seemed that he didn't plan to keep Lu Xiaobai anymore?
Lu Xiaobai frowned in pain, and there were two red marks on his fair face. He was rubbing his face blankly. After hearing He Qin's words and seeing that the oxcart was really moving forward, he pouted and climbed onto the car: "Brother Lingyi, wait for me, I haven't gotten on the car yet..."
Fortunately, the ox cart was moving slowly, and He Qin did not stop him, allowing him to climb up slowly.
After getting in the car, Lu Xiaobai grabbed He Qin's clothes and tears streamed down his face. He knew that ancient people attached great importance to etiquette, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
He pouted, feeling wronged and angry, and cried and complained: "He Qin, I, I... Why are you people so old-fashioned? I just pulled my clothes, and you shouted that you wanted to hit me, and you even pinched my face!"
He Qin sneered: "Do you still feel wronged?"
Lu Xiaobai didn't want to face He Qin, so he turned around angrily: "Isn't it that those people have impure intentions? Why are you blaming me..."
Hearing this, He Qin became even angrier. He raised his hand and patted Lu Xiaobai on the head, saying, "You know they have ulterior motives, but you still show them?"
"No, no, no, I told them not to show it!"
Lu Xiaobai was furious, tears streaming down her face. She didn't even have time to wipe them away. She faced He Qin, grabbed her clothes from her chest and pulled them, crying, "Look, what can you see through such a thick cotton coat... my box..."
Lu Xiaobai wanted to prove to He Qin that he really didn't reveal anything, it was just a gesture.
But he forgot that he had a string of copper coins and a hairpin he bought for He Qin hidden in his chest, and the hairpin box was not fixed, so when he pulled it, it fell out directly.
Fortunately, He Qin caught it quickly, and Lu Xiaobai finally felt relieved.
He patted his chest, holding back his pounding heart, looked at He Qin with some embarrassment, and said sheepishly: "Give it back to me."
He Qin didn't understand him, so he didn't want to give He Qin any gifts.
But He Qin didn't listen to him. He raised his hand and opened the box. He looked at the hairpin inside, then looked at Lu Xiaobai, who had tears on his face but suddenly became shy. He already understood in his heart.
But he didn't quite believe that Lu Xiaobai's stupid head could come to his senses, so he asked tentatively: "Are you not going to use the headband anymore?"
Lu Xiaobai was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and pouted, saying subconsciously, "What else can I use if not a headband? I don't know how to tie my hair."
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. She looked up in surprise and saw He Qin smiling as he took out the hairpin from his hair and put on the auspicious cloud hairpin he had bought.
After putting on the hairpin, the smile on He Qin's face never disappeared. He touched his hair like a woman and asked, "So you bought this for me?"
Lu Xiaobai pouted, tears falling again, and turned her head away as if she was upset: "You've already put it on, and you're still asking me why. I said it's not on, can you give it back to me?"
"No!"
He Qin inserted the sandalwood hairpin he had used before into Lu Xiaobai's hair, then hugged him and said, "Don't take off your clothes in front of outsiders in the future, even if it's just a coat, even if you don't reveal anything."
In addition to worrying that those men had intentions towards Lu Xiaobai, he was also worried that those brothers and women would make things difficult for Lu Xiaobai and really send this little fool to see the authorities.
Lu Xiaobai also knew that what he was doing today was not right in this era, but this was nothing to him as a modern person.
Moreover, knowing is one thing, but whether he can accept it is another, not to mention that He Qin was mean to him just now.
Now that He Qin's voice softened, Lu Xiaobai felt particularly aggrieved. Tears fell even harder than before, and she bit her lips and choked with sobs as she said, "Well, I understand..."
He Qin sighed helplessly after hearing his crying. He was really angry and heartbroken. He had no idea what to do with this silly boy.
Finally, He Qin reached into the linen bag on the other half of the ox cart, took out an oil-paper bag and stuffed it into Lu Xiaobai's arms.
Lu Xiaobai was crying sadly when she suddenly felt something in her arms. She sat up straight and asked while wiping her tears, "What is this?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at it curiously and found: "What is this, dried fruit?"
He Qin was in a very good mood after receiving the gift. He patiently explained to Lu Xiaobai: "It's candied fruit, sour and sweet, would you like to try it?"
It is made of yellow apricots. It smells very fragrant and tastes sour and sweet. He Zhou and his mother like it very much, so they bought it for Lu Xiaobai to try.
But unexpectedly, Lu Xiaobai, who had seen all kinds of snacks in modern times, looked disgusted. He stuffed the things into He Qin's arms and said, "Candied fruit? I don't want it. It looks messy and smells so bad. I don't want to eat this."
He Qin: ...
He took a deep breath, took the candied fruit, and took out a long oil-paper bag with a small stick sticking out from the sack. He handed it to Lu Xiaobai and said, "What about this?"
"this?"
Lu Xiaobai took it and looked at it, and was instantly surprised: "Is this a candied haws?"
Now Lu Xiaobai was happy, and the tears on his face disappeared with excitement.
He was excited not because he liked candied haws, but because he had never eaten one before.
His family never bought him candied haws, saying they were unhygienic.
But whether it was in photos or in advertisements on TV, candied haws looked so tempting, so he had been craving it for many years and finally got to eat it.
The moment he saw the candied haws, his eyes were filled with surprise. He took it out and took a bite. His face, with its red marks, bulged up. As he ate, he said, "It's delicious. Why didn't I see it just now?"
If Lu Xiaobai saw someone selling candied haws, he would definitely buy some.
Seeing that Lu Xiaobai liked candied haws, He Qin touched the hairpin on his head again, and his eyes instantly became as gentle as water.
He endured it until Lu Xiaobai finished eating the candied haws. Then he pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said, "Why are you so stupid?"
He Qin was so stupid that he wanted to hide him forever.
Lu Xiaobai had just finished eating the candied haws and had no time to wipe his mouth when He Qin pressed him into his arms. He subconsciously struggled: "He Qin, can you please stop bullying me like this? Can you be a little gentler?"
He Qin took a deep breath, relaxed Lu Xiaobai, and then said softly: "I'm already very gentle."
Lu Xiaobai was still held by him, and could only nestle in his arms, pouting dissatisfiedly: "How can this be called gentleness? You are too much..."
Before Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, a large paper bag appeared in his hand, which contained some hot fried broad beans with salt.
He had never thought that there were still broad beans to eat in this era. He laughed subconsciously, stopped talking nonsense, and nestled in He Qin's arms to eat broad beans, and put one into He Qin's mouth from time to time.
Lingyi was driving the car in the front, and although he didn't look back, he knew what happened afterwards. At that moment, he suddenly felt relieved.
Because Lu Xiaobai and his master are both happy.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
Lu Xiaobai was happy biting the crispy broad beans. In this era of snack scarcity, it was a very happy thing to be able to eat some salty broad beans.
Especially He Qin bought quite a lot, hehehe...
Lu Xiaobai ate very quickly. After eating only half a bag, Lu Xiaobai was not very happy. He grabbed He Qin's clothes on his chest, pouted and almost cried. He said: "He Qin, my mouth feels so uncomfortable, it's all chapped. I'm also thirsty. I need to drink some water."
He Qin suppressed his laughter, took the water bag, uncorked it, and handed it to him. He then put the broad beans away and said, "That's what happens when you eat too much salt. Don't eat it. Eat it tomorrow."
Lu Xiaobai nodded, licked his lips which still had a smell, turned his head and lay in He Qin's arms, ready to sleep for a while.
He had a nightmare last night, woke up early in the morning, and also experienced intense physical exertion such as being chased, so he was a little tired and wanted to take a nap.
Not knowing how long he had slept, Lu Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked in a daze at something falling from the sky.
He had just woken up and didn't understand what was going on. He paused for a few seconds before looking up and asking, "What is that?"
Seeing that he was awake, He Qin took out a new piece of clothing from his bag and wrapped him up, then continued to hold him and said, "It's snowing, don't catch a cold."
"snow?"
Lu Xiaobai was delighted and quickly pushed aside his clothes to squeeze out of He Qin's arms. He looked at the snowflakes falling rapidly from the sky and said excitedly, "This is the first time I've seen such heavy snow. It's really beautiful."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, He Qin fell into deep thought.
Because, although Nanhe is a southern country, it snows every winter. Lu Xiaobai grew up in Lujia Village, so how could he have never seen snow?
But looking at the excitement in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, it didn't seem fake.
He Qin was stunned for a moment, and did not ask him why, but just gently put the clothes on him.
But Lu Xiaobai pouted and refused: "Don't put it on me, you're going to wrap me up like a dumpling."
Hearing this, He Qin smiled subconsciously, touched his head helplessly and asked: "Have you never seen snow?"
Lu Xiaobai was so happy that he forgot that he and He Qin were not from the same era. He nodded subconsciously: "Yes, my home is always like spring and it never snows."
Four seasons like spring?
How could there be such a place?
He Qin frowned. Whether it was Nanhe or Beili, he had never heard of a place where it was spring all year round.
So, who is this silly guy who knows nothing about his birthplace and life in the countryside?
