Chapter 91
???
Lu Xiaobai, holding the teapot, looked at the man in front of him in confusion. He looked him up and down, then turned around and looked around. After confirming that they were alone, he looked down at the teapot in his hand and said, "If they're separated, then you can go find them, or you can stay where you are and wait for your followers to find you?"
man:……
Lu Xiaobai's words left the man speechless. He almost forgot the composure he had maintained for so many years. He suppressed his laughter and emphasized his purpose, saying, "I'm thirsty..."
"But I didn't bring a bowl."
Lu Xiaobai interrupted the man before he finished speaking.
Of course Lu Xiaobai knew that the man was thirsty. He had heard it just now. It was just that Lingyi and the others brought drinking utensils when they left in the morning. Now they guessed that the pot of water Lingyi brought had been finished, so they sent them another pot.
So, he didn't bring a bowl.
How can I give this man water without a bowl?
Lu Xiaobai saw that the man was stunned when he heard his words, as if he was hurt.
Lu Xiaobai instantly felt guilty and quickly changed his words: "You are too tall. How about you squat down, tilt your head back and open your mouth, and I will pour some into your mouth."
man:……
Although he did not reveal his identity, the clothes he wore could buy the entire Lujia Village. Couldn't this silly guy see that?
Moreover, he was of such a noble status, yet a country bumpkin ordered him to squat down and poured water into his mouth with his mouth open?
This is impossible!
The man was so angry at Lu Xiaobai that he almost lost his composure, but he didn't know that Lu Xiaobai really couldn't see anything. Apart from the fact that he was rich, he couldn't see anything else.
The man wanted to throw away the box hidden in his sleeve, but he also knew Lu Xiaobai's identity. He could only suppress his anger and smiled stiffly, shaking his head and said, "This may not work..."
Lu Xiaobai nodded silently as if he understood.
The man thought he understood, but the next second Lu Xiaobai said, "That's right. You're still taller even when you squat down. The teapot is quite heavy, and my hands are sore from carrying it. So you should go find a family and drink some water. Then come back here and wait for your entourage."
Hearing this, the man's composure immediately broke, his smile froze on his face, and all his plans seemed to have disappeared.
Lu Xiaobai's hands were really sore, and he even put the teapot on the ground while speaking. He rubbed his wrists and said to the stiff-faced man, "Look, just in that direction, go inside, and there are many houses around the corner. There's plenty of water, I guarantee you'll have enough to drink. Okay, I'm leaving now."
He had to deliver the water quickly and then rush home, otherwise He Qin would come out to look for him, and if he found him, he might even yell at him for playing outside.
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he bent down, picked up the teapot and wanted to leave.
But the man grabbed her arm, calmed himself down, and continued with a smile, "It's a long way to go, and I can't walk any more. How about you give me some water and I'll give you a box of candy as a thank you?"
As the man spoke, he loosened his wrist and took out a box from his sleeve. When he opened it, he saw fragrant crispy candies.
Lu Xiaobai hadn't eaten crispy candy for a long time. He stared at the man curiously and said in surprise, "You, you are so rich!"
At this time, the only person who can buy candy is a big shot with status.
But in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, no matter who it is, no one is greater than his husband He Qin.
Seeing that Lu Xiaobai was attracted by the candy, the man finally smiled with satisfaction and calmly closed the lid: "I..."
"But what if I still don't have a bowl? You don't want to walk, and you can't come to my house. How about you hold your hands up, I'll pour it for you, and you can drink from them?"
Lu Xiaobai wanted to eat candy and was anxiously trying to find a way.
But in the eyes of men, his method was a disgrace.
He looked down at his clothes and wanted to ask Lu Xiaobai if it was appropriate to say this.
But in the end, I didn't ask.
Although Lu Xiaobai wanted to eat candy, the man refused to do anything. His patience was instantly gone, and he said angrily: "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, forget it, I don't want your candy, you're dying of thirst!"
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and left.
The man had never been treated so harshly by the boy before. He was distracted for a moment and slowly turned his head to look at Lu Xiaobai's back, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
At that moment, three masked men appeared behind the man. They knelt in front of him and said, "Master!"
The man raised his hand, then looked down at the candy box in his hand and said, "Wait for him."
Lu Xiao pouted, feeling more and more aggrieved as he walked.
This man actually tempted him with crispy candies, but was disgusted by his way of feeding him water, and refused to walk, waiting to be served?
You’re dreaming!
And take candy...
Lu Xiaobai sniffed: "I don't want to eat candy at all!"
Lu Xiaobai's eyes were red. When he arrived at the edge of the field, Lingyi just wanted to drink some water. When he saw that the teapot was out of water, he planned to go home to get some.
Before I left, I saw Lu Xiaobai coming, so I quickly ran over to take the teapot from his hand. As soon as I took the teapot, I saw that his eyes were red and he looked aggrieved.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked softly: "What's wrong, did the master bully you again?"
Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said with a pout: "No, it's hot."
Lingyi said quickly: "If it's hot, I won't come. I'll come back and get it."
Not to mention the hot weather, even if Lu Xiaobai is pregnant, she shouldn't run in the fields. What if she falls in the fields?
Lu Xiaobai shook his head. He was a member of this family, but every day he had to wait for Lingyi and the others to finish work and come home to boil water and cook for him. He felt bad when he saw how tired Lingyi and the others looked.
He should work!
"I'm fine. He Qin said the meal is almost ready and it's time to eat. You guys should pack up and go home quickly. I'm going back first."
If he doesn't go back, He Qin will be anxious.
Lu Xiaobai wanted to go back, and Lingyi didn't stop him. He quickly turned around and handed him the empty teapot.
Lu Xiaobai whispered thank you and turned away.
On the other side, the man was standing there, but he was not basking in the sun as Lu Xiaobai imagined, because someone was holding an umbrella for him behind him.
The man kept looking in the direction where Lu Xiaobai left until Lu Xiaobai appeared in the distance with a pout on his face, and then he left with his followers.
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head, thinking that he must tell He Qin when he got back, and then ask He Qin to find someone to buy him some candy.
But when she reached the intersection where she met the man, she saw a box on the ground. It was the candy box that the man had wanted to exchange for water.
He picked up the box and looked around curiously, but the man was no longer in sight.
It was impossible for him to forget to take such a big box, because the man was holding it in his hand all the time and it was impossible for him to put it on the ground to rest.
It's impossible that it fell accidentally, because the wooden box would make a sound if it fell to the ground, and the man couldn't have failed to notice it, so it must have been placed there on purpose?
Lu Xiaobai opened it and saw a box full of candies. He asked in confusion, "Why did you throw away all the candies?"
Although he didn't want things from strangers, he couldn't bear to give up the candy, not to mention that food was scarce at the moment. If he saw it and didn't pick it up, wasn't that a bit disrespectful to the box of candy?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai was instantly happy and ran back quickly with the candy.
As soon as he ran into the yard, he saw He Qin coming out of the kitchen with a frown, as if he was about to go look for him. His expression improved a little when he saw him come back.
Lu Xiaobai ran over, put the teapot on the ground, and then opened the candy box to show He Qin.
"He Qin, look, this is Sutang."
He Qin originally thought that Lu Xiaobai had gone out to play, and was about to look for him, but he came back and brought some crispy candies with him?
But how could there be crispy candies in this mountain village where even sugar is rare?
He Qin immediately felt something was wrong and asked with a sullen face, "Where did it come from?"
"I found it."
Lu Xiaobai was about to take one to taste, but He Qin grabbed his arm and said, "Don't eat it yet. Tell me in detail where you picked it up."
Lu Xiaobai didn't know why He Qin suddenly became so serious, so he said honestly, "I was on the street, and I met a man who wanted to exchange sugar for water. But I didn't have a bowl, and he thought my method was bad, so I left. When I came back, I saw this sugar on the ground, so I picked it up."
"man?"
He Qin took the candy from Lu Xiaobai's hand and put it back into the box. Then he took the lid from Lu Xiaobai's hand and was about to close it, but he saw a small word "Li" in the lower left corner of the lid.
He Qin understood instantly, looked around and asked, "What kind of man?"
"Um……"
Lu Xiaobai didn't know how to describe him. He scratched his head and said after a while, "He is very tall, and the clothes he wears look very expensive. They are similar to the wide-sleeved clothes you wear in the palace, but they are white. His facial features are deeper and more three-dimensional. He is very handsome, hehehe..."
Seeing Lu Xiaobai laughing so happily, He Qin's expression became even uglier. Finally, he asked in a deep voice, "You actually observed so carefully!"
Unable to keep up with He Qin's thoughts, Lu Xiaobai looked bewildered: "??? What do you mean by careful? I can see these at a glance, okay? I'm not blind."
He Qin had no choice but to hand the candy to Lu Xiaobai unhappily, and then said, "Next time, you have to let me know what you pick up. I can only eat it if I say it's edible."
Knowing that he could eat, Lu Xiaobai also argued with him and nodded obediently, "Okay."
Lu Xiaobai happily took the candy and sat under the eaves to eat it.
It's already May and the weather is getting hotter. Lu Xiaobai was worried while eating. When the middle of summer comes, not only will there be no air conditioning or fans, but there won't even be a mat. How will he live?
Lu Xiaobai ate three pieces and then stopped. This candy was very precious, so he had to eat it sparingly.
Reluctantly, he closed the lid, turned around and went into the room to hide the candy in the cabinet.
Just as they put down Lingyi and the others came back, He Qin called them to the kitchen before they could even catch their breath.
Lu Xiaobai followed curiously, only to hear He Qin say, "People from Beili are here, and they are from the royal family."
Lingyi's eyes instantly became alert: "What's going on, Master..."
He Qin raised his hand: "We didn't meet, he just met Xiaobai. But since he wants to get something for nothing, he will naturally not touch us. I just don't know what their purpose is for the time being."
He glanced at Lu Xiaobai, who was openly eavesdropping at the door, and then said, "They should be nearby. Lingyi, go and invite them over."
Lingyi quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes."
Lu Xiaobai was surprised to see Lingyi leave.
They were actually from Beili, and they were royals! But what were the Beili royals doing in the Nanhe countryside?
Moreover, thinking of his initial attitude towards that person, Lu Xiaobai felt a little guilty. That person was not He Qin, and he would not be treated with a good temper.
He quickly ran to He Qin's arms and asked worriedly, "He Qin, do the people from Beili hold grudges?"
