Chapter 85
The hay was on fire, and Lu Xiaobai was very nervous.
Fortunately, ancient people had a strong awareness of fire prevention, and the fire chamber was very clean. Apart from the sticks for three meals a day, there was only half a bundle of hay for starting the fire.
Even if it catches fire, it won't be a big deal. Just take half a bundle of grass to the yard and it will be fine.
But although Lu Xiaobai was nervous, he felt that the fire was not big and he could just pour some water on it and step on it a few times, so he poured water and stepped on it.
In the end, the fire was extinguished, but the ground in front of the stove was wet, the hay was wet, and Lu Xiaobai's shoes were wet, and were stained with black grass ash.
There was still some smoke in the room. Lu Xiaobai raised his hand to fan it, then looked at the half-burned bundle of hay. He threw the gourd ladle into the pot, coughed, and said, "Cough, cough, cough, this stone is quite powerful..."
Lu Xiaobai looked down at the wet ground, then looked at his shoes, intending to change shoes, but as soon as he turned around, he saw He Qin standing at the door with a dark face.
Lu Xiaobai suddenly panicked and subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the mess in front of his chest, but he was standing there alone and could not cover anything. He Qin had seen everything.
Lu Xiaobai knew that he couldn't stop anything, so he immediately put down his hand and said a little bewilderedly: "I, I didn't mean to do that, and the fire is out."
He just wanted to try whether the stone was really flint. Not only did he find it was real, but he also got the sparks in the wrong direction and sent them flying onto the hay.
He Qin took a breath expressionlessly, walked over, took Lu Xiaobai's hand and walked out the door.
Lu Xiaobai thought He Qin was angry, and hurriedly explained: "I really didn't mean it, He...husband, I was wrong. I will never play with flint again."
He Qin paused, feeling both angry and amused. He pulled Lu Xiaobai to the small bench in the yard, glanced at the guilty Lu Xiaobai, and said helplessly, "Sit down first."
After saying that, He Qin turned and left. Lu Xiaobai didn't understand what He Qin was going to do. Although the kitchen was fine, if the fire started today, the house might be destroyed.
He also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he lowered his head guiltily and followed with a pout.
He Qin was not angry, nor did he want to teach Lu Xiaobai a lesson. Instead, he went back to his room and got a pair of clean shoes and socks for Lu Xiaobai to change into.
After all, this silly boy is pregnant. If she gets sick from wearing wet shoes, she will feel more uncomfortable than usual. Not only will she cry, but he will also have to feel distressed.
But just as he took the shoes, he saw Lu Xiaobai following him with red eyes, so he hurried over and helped him sit down.
Lu Xiaobai watched He Qin changing his shoes and tears suddenly fell. It was not because he was afraid, nor because he made a mistake, but because he suddenly realized that with He Qin's identity, he didn't have to do all this.
Moreover, even in modern times, there might not be someone who could take care of him so attentively.
Lu Xiaobai sniffed, put on his shoes, and threw himself directly into He Qin's arms: "He Qin..."
He Qin hugged the person and said helplessly: "Don't cry, I don't blame you."
He knows.
Lu Xiaobai nodded while crying, he knew.
"He Qin, you are so nice."
After staying here for so long, Lu Xiaobai suddenly felt that this unreasonable time travel was not for him to suffer, but to meet He Qin.
It was his luck to meet He Qin in such a place.
Hearing this, He Qin curled his lips, put his arm around Lu Xiaobai's waist, lowered his head and kissed the top of his head, saying, "Take your shoes to the well and wash them. There's water in the basin, don't draw it yourself. I'll go clean the kitchen."
Shoe cleaning?
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I know this."
Sometimes when Lingyi and the others were busy and no one was washing his clothes, He Qin would help him, and he would squat beside He Qin with a brush and brush his shoes.
So, he knows how to polish shoes.
Lu Xiaobai happily came out of He Qin's arms and went to the well with his shoes in hand.
Lu Xiaobai changes his shoes frequently, so his shoes are not dirty. He just needs to brush off the dust on the outside.
The area of the shoes was not very large, so Lu Xiaobai finished brushing them quickly. After putting them away, he saw He Qin coming out of the kitchen with wet grass.
He ran over with a guilty conscience, looking at He Qin's fingers, which were all blackened by the grass ash. He pouted and asked, "Then, do you still want to boil water now?"
"It's not burning anymore."
He Qin dried the grass and then shook his head: "Just drink cold water."
Judging from Lu Xiaobai's attitude, he was afraid that the house would burn down if he boiled some water.
"Drink cold water..."
Lu Xiaobai looked back at the gate of the yard and was a little worried that Lingyi and the others had no water to drink.
He Qin went to the well to wash his hands, dried them, touched Lu Xiaobai's hair and said, "Yeah."
Except in winter, and except for making tea, they usually drink cold water. Even if they serve boiled water, it is cooled water.
The only water Lu Xiaobai drinks is warm water. A pot of water is boiled for him every morning, but usually in the afternoon, it is cold water.
Lu Xiaobai also understood this problem. Although he felt that drinking cold water was not good, the water in ancient times was clean and without any pollution, so there should be no problem.
So I nodded and said, "Okay, then, what are we going to do now?"
Lu Xiaobai can't sit still. If there's nothing to play with, he always wants to do something.
He Qin paused, looked back at the room, and said helplessly: "You can go out and play..."
Going out and playing?
Thinking about it, everyone who goes out recently is either working in the fields or working in the land, even the children are helping, there is no time to play at all.
Moreover, it seems that the children here do not have to go to school. They stay at home almost every day, or they run around the mountains and fields while the adults are busy with work.
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said with a pout: "Everyone is busy, no one wants to play with me."
He Qin looked down at Lu Xiaobai's belly and said helplessly: "Then I'll take you to the mountain."
Lu Xiaobai didn't know anything about this place and was curious about everything. He probably had never seen corn being planted before, right?
"On the mountain, okay."
Speaking of the mountain, Lu Xiaobai remembered that when he first went to find He Qin, he wanted to go to the mountain with Lingyi and the others. Unexpectedly, when he entered the door and saw He Qin smelling his pants, he forgot about it. Later, he was delayed by the matter of boiling water.
Now he remembered, and hurried over to close the door, then ran back to He Qin, took his hand and said obediently: "I've closed the door, you can go now."
He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai's lively appearance and felt that apart from vomiting when he saw greasy food or smelled bad odors, he didn't look like he was pregnant at all. He jumped around and ran very fast all day long.
But this is also a good thing, which means that Lu Xiaobai is in good health and even the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Ling Si prescribed last time was not used.
He Qin curled the corners of his mouth and led the man up the mountain.
The Zero Ones are physically strong, have strong learning abilities, and are even more capable with their hands. When Lu Xiaobai arrived at the last land they had reclaimed, they had already planted almost half of it.
Moreover, the people had a clear division of labor, with two people in a group, one digging the hole and the other planting the seedlings, and they cooperated very well.
Lu Xiaobai looked at the scene, looked up at He Qin and asked, "Should we help?"
He Qin shook his head: "I don't have any extra hoes, so I can't help."
Lu Xiaobai: ...
Are you so poor that you don’t even have a hoe?
He curled his lips and saw that Ling Er had finished planting the corn seedlings. After greeting them, he went to the backpack at the edge of the field to sort the corn seedlings.
In order to prevent the corn seedlings from being injured during the carrying process, they were dug with soil. There were many corn seedlings on large clumps of soil, and they were not separated.
Therefore, before planting, you must carefully separate them, with one corn seedling in each pit.
Lu Xiaobai thought he could do this, and ran to Ling Er with a smile: "I'll help you."
I followed his example and carefully helped him with the corn seedlings.
“There’s mud!”
Lu Xiaobai suddenly came to work. Ling Er looked up at He Qin with some fear, and found that He Qin didn't say anything, and Lu Xiaobai didn't dislike the mud, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Lu Xiaobai accidentally breaking a corn seedling, he quickly said, "Master Xiaobai, go slowly. You have to grab it by the roots and break it. You can't break the seedling or it will break."
"Oh, okay..."
Lu Xiaobai nodded quickly and did as Ling Er taught him.
He Qin stood behind Lu Xiaobai and watched him busy.
Maybe Lu Xiaobai figured it out, or maybe Lu Xiaobai accepted this place because of He Qin and stopped avoiding it. In addition to helping Ling Er divide the corn seedlings, he also played with the seedlings while placing them one by one in the dug holes, making it easier for the people planting corn.
It was not until they had planted all the corn seedlings they brought and it was dark that they returned home.
As soon as Lu Xiaobai went down, he worked while playing. He felt very tired. He grabbed He Qin's hand and said with a pout, "I can't walk anymore. Can you carry me?"
Knowing that he was tired from playing, He Qin said helplessly: "Come on."
After saying that, she squatted slightly with her back to him and carried him on her back.
When we got home, Lu Xiaobai was already asleep.
He Qin carefully put the man on the bed, covered him with a quilt and went out.
Ling Si came running over in a panic: "Master, the kitchen is wet. Did Master Xiaobai go into the kitchen?"
The rooms in the countryside are all made of mud. Although they will not become muddy like ordinary roads after being walked on for a long time and even if they are watered, they are easy to slip before they dry.
Ling Si almost fell into the trap. It was dark outside and he had no time to light the lamp. When he entered the room, he saw something wrong on the ground. He walked over anxiously and almost slipped before he could see clearly. Then he held on to Zhaotai and came out to ask He Qin.
Because he needed to confirm whether any outsiders had come to his house.
He Qin nodded: "Yeah."
Only then did Zero Four breathe a sigh of relief and turned around to ask Zero Three to call back Zero One who was exploring the surroundings.
It was not yet completely dark, and He Qin was worried that Lu Xiaobai could not sleep at night, so he planned to go back to his room to wake him up. However, when he entered the room, he saw Lu Xiaobai lying on the bed with tears streaming down his face, curled up and crying softly.
He Qin guessed that he was having a nightmare again, so he quickly hugged him in his arms, patted his face, and whispered, "Xiaobai, don't cry. It was a dream, it was fake. Don't be afraid."
Lu Xiaobai opened his eyes and saw He Qin holding him. He quickly put his arms around his neck and burst into tears: "It's not a dream, it's real, it's all real..."
Lu Xiaobai was crying so hard that his whole body was shaking. Thinking of the dream he had just had, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Just now, he dreamed that he went back to the modern era.
His parents thought he had been kidnapped and sold. When they saw him come back, they grabbed his hands and cried, saying that they would protect him well and would never let him suffer again.
But Lu Xiaobai looked at everything familiar in modern times. Although he was very happy to see Ming Mingbai again, he always felt empty in his heart. He was not as happy as he had imagined.
He missed He Qin.
He wanted to go back to Lujia Village and be with He Qin.
At that moment, a door appeared in front of him, and he just stepped on the threshold. Behind him were Lu Jiacun and He Qin, and in front of him were his parents and Xiandai.
If he takes a step forward, he can return to his parents, and if he takes a step back, he can stay in Lujia Village.
But at that moment, Lu Xiaobai, who had always longed to go home, was hesitant to move towards home.
He couldn't bear to leave his parents, nor could he bear to leave He Qin. He didn't dare to move forward or backward, and could only squat against the door and cry heart-wrenchingly.
Until the moment he opened his eyes and saw He Qin, he suddenly felt that even if the main system had the wish, if He Qin did not leave with him, then he seemed unable to go back.
He Qin didn't know what was wrong with Lu Xiaobai, and asked in confusion: "What is true?"
Lu Xiaobai's face was covered with tears. She leaned decadently on He Qin's chest, pouted and cried while saying, "It's nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable. Hold me tight..."
