Chapter 96
Seeing Xiao Huang's reaction, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing: "It's good that you know to be afraid. In the future, hide away from it. I will keep you for eggs when you grow up~"
Xiao Huang: ...
Xiao Huang was fine, so Lu Xiaobai was relieved. However, remembering that Li Yuan was roasting a chicken in the yard last night, he thought it would be better to say hello to him later and tell him not to go after Xiao Huang.
To prevent Li Yuan from getting greedy and secretly killing and eating Xiao Huang while he wasn't paying attention.
Lu Xiaobai stood up to leave, and turned around to see He Qin standing behind him holding a bunch of green grass.
Lu Xiaobai took a step back in fright, and only sighed after seeing who it was. "You, why did you suddenly appear? You scared me. Are you here to feed Xiao Huang?"
He Qin suppressed his laughter, patted his head, threw the grass to Xiao Huang, and then said, "Xiao Huang is a gander and doesn't lay eggs."
"Gander?"
Lu Xiaobai was a little bit unconvinced, and said anxiously with a curled lip: "You are lying to me, it hasn't even grown up yet, how do you know it's a male?"
Xiao Huang was eating grass. He Qin smiled and squatted down, touching its head and said, "A big head, held high, a thick and long neck, and a slightly heavier weight are all characteristics of a male goose."
Lu Xiaobai didn't believe him. After hearing what he said, he squatted in front of Xiao Huang and stared at Xiao Huang's head. He couldn't tell that it was a male goose. After a while, he said, "After all, you just think it's big. Who told you that big things are male? What if it's just fat?"
He Qin looked at Xiao Huang, chuckled softly and said, "He's indeed quite fat."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Huang barked twice in dissatisfaction, then lowered his head and continued to eat grass.
He Qin grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand and stood up, saying, "Stop looking. We've slept for so long, it's time to eat something."
Lu Xiaobai passed Xiao Huang and threw himself into He Qin's arms, pouting and shaking his head: "No, it's almost time for lunch. Let's have lunch together later."
"Then you're not hungry?"
Lu Xiaobai shook his head: "Not really hungry."
Maybe he was too hungry, so he is not really hungry now.
"By the way, Feiyun is back. Didn't you read the letter?"
He Qin nodded: "I saw it, it's not important."
Apart from planting, there has been no major news recently, and Feiyun's letters usually only have a few words, and the contents of the letter can be read at a glance.
However, although this news is not important, it makes people happier than all the important news, because almost all the seeds given by Lu Xiaobai have sprouted. The whole Nanhe is happy about this, and it is estimated that they have also been planting during this period of time.
"Oh well."
Lu Xiaobai nodded and walked towards the front yard with He Qin.
He rarely asked about the content of He Qin's letter because he was never interested. He just thought that as long as He Qin didn't leave him, it would be fine.
Lu Xiaobai happily grabbed He Qin's hand and asked softly, "By the way, when we woke up just now, Brother Lingyi and the others weren't here. Did they go to plant rice again?"
He Qin shook his head. Since Li Yuan was here, it was impossible for them all to plant rice seedlings. So, Zero One and Zero Three stayed behind, hiding in the dark to protect them, while Zero Two and Zero Four went to plant rice seedlings.
"Zero Two and Zero Four are gone, and Zero One and Zero Three are near us."
Near them?
Lu Xiaobai subconsciously looked around, but apart from the walls and some things he could usually see, he couldn't see anyone.
He curled his lips helplessly and said, "Well, if they stay to protect me, then there will only be two people to plant the rice seedlings. Isn't that unfair to those two people?"
He Qin: "Yeah."
But there was no way. They didn't bring many people with them. Although Li Yuanming would not harm them, what if something happened?
Not to mention that He Qin is the person they must protect, Lu Xiaobai is pregnant, and the baby is Nan He's little master, so nothing can happen to him.
Lu Xiaobai was unhappy: "They are already very tired, and now the manpower is reduced, won't they be even more exhausted? No, Li Yuan must be held responsible for this!"
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he shook off He Qin's hand and ran away.
He Qin: ???
Responsible?
Let Li Yuan be responsible?
He Qin's face darkened instantly and he quickly followed. He wanted to see what this silly guy was going to do next!
Li Yuan's plan was to keep pestering He Qin until he agreed to it.
So, he brought his scroll and is now reading in the awning.
Lu Xiaobai rushed over and snatched his book directly, angry and anxious, but he did not forget to imitate He Qin's behavior and said "politely": "Mr. Li, do you know how much trouble you have brought to my family?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, I know."
The purpose of his coming here was to get He Qin to agree to help him get rid of Han Xiao. This did cause He Qin a lot of trouble and was also a major adventure for He Qin.
But for Li Yuan, isn’t it also a risk?
However, he never thought that this country boy could understand such a political situation, which really surprised him.
"Know?"
Lu Xiaobai was also surprised. He never thought that Li Yuan was so thick-skinned. He knew clearly that it had brought an impact to his family, but he did not take action to solve the problem. He even wanted to ask Nan He for food. He was really a bandit.
"You knew it, but why didn't you call out your secret guards to make amends?"
Li Yuan smiled politely: "That's... um, what?"
Lu Xiaobai looked back at He Qin who had followed him. With someone backing him up, he pouted confidently and snorted, "Because you're here, all our rice-planting workers have gone home. It's so hot, and there are only two people working in so many fields. Don't you think it's unfair? Since you know the responsibility is on you, why don't you send your secret guards to the fields to help?"
Lu Xiaobai said a lot in one breath, subconsciously stepped back and leaned on He Qin, nodded and said: "Of course, if you are willing to go in person, I think it's okay!"
Li Yuan: ...
He wondered how this country boy could understand the situation in the court, and it turned out that they were not talking about the same issue at all.
Li Yuan looked at He Qin helplessly. What was going on in this guy's train of thought? How did He Qin get along with him?
Moreover, how could he, the emperor of Beili, go to the fields to plant rice?
It's ridiculous!
But he couldn't put on airs here, because apart from He Qin and others, no one knew that he was the Emperor of Beili. Even if they knew, they would not let him put on airs, unless they were government officials.
But that would escalate into a conflict between the two countries, causing endless trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan's face changed and he tightly gripped the book in his hand.
Lu Xiaobai thought he was going to get angry, so he quickly turned around and hid in He Qin's arms.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's timid yet brave appearance, and He Qin's doting expression, Li Yuan felt sick. His heart ached, his mouth felt sour, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before saying, "Let the secret guards go!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and called out three secret guards. After giving them some instructions, Lu Xiaobai asked Lingyi to come out and take those secret guards to the fields. By the way, he called Lingsi back to cook.
Having achieved his goal, Lu Xiaobai smiled contentedly. In front of Li Yuan, he asked He Qin in a charming and flattering manner, "With more people, our farmland will be ready soon, and everyone can rest. He Qin, do you think I'm awesome?"
Hearing Lu Xiaobai asking for praise, He Qin couldn't help but laughed softly: "Amazing, my little husband is the best."
Why are you so well behaved?
He Qin's heart melted, and she touched Lu Xiaobai's head lovingly, with doting eyes.
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the side with a scroll in his hand, almost collapsed. But when he was on someone else's territory, how could he not bow his head?
You have to endure it, you can only endure it!
But what if these two bastards just won’t leave?
Li Yuanshu couldn't bear to read it anymore and looked at the two of them angrily.
Lu Xiaobai pulled He Qin to sit on the stool in the pergola and said with a smile: "He Qin, look, these stools are well made and quite comfortable."
This kind of stool is taller than the stools they usually sit on, and is also wider and more stable. It is the style that people in Beili like.
Lu Xiaobai had been sitting on small benches and narrow long benches for a long time, and he found it quite novel to occasionally sit on this square bench made of branches.
He Qin nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Lingyi to make two for you later."
Li Yuan: ...
Are these two people treating him as if he doesn't exist?
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Brother He, this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Lu Xiaobai: “??? What?”
What's wrong with that? They didn't do anything excessive, so why is it bad?
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's clueless expression, Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I still have books to read, so I won't send you off."
When Lu Xiaobai heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "...You are so stingy!"
Li Yuan:???
Seeing Li Yuan's bewildered look, Lu Xiaobai grabbed He Qin's hand and stood up angrily, saying, "Yesterday when you were building the shed, you asked us to stay here. But we haven't even been here for a quarter of an hour, and you're kicking us out. Isn't that mean? Forget it, He Qin, go ahead. We'll go back and make some delicious food and not give it to him."
Li Yuan felt terrible. Although he regretted what he said yesterday, he twitched his lips helplessly after hearing the last sentence and muttered softly, "You're talking about your food as if it were me who ate it!"
Besides, what good food can there be in such a shabby and poor place?
Can he please stop having diarrhea?
Lu Xiaobai dragged He Qin to their shed and got a small hoe. Then he ran to the backyard and dug up some ginger and garlic. He washed them and put them in the kitchen. Then he said to Ling Si who had just returned home, "Brother Ling Si, make something delicious today. I want something very fragrant."
Ling Si was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's innocent look, I suddenly felt that the world he lived in was really beautiful.
However, although Li Yuan was not angry with Lu Xiaobai, he could not let him stay too long. He still had to go find his elder brother and could not delay too long, so he had to drive this dangerous guy away as soon as possible.
Sure enough, today's lunch prepared by Lingsi was very sumptuous.
Because Beili's secret guards came to help them plant rice, and because Lu Xiaobai asked him to make something delicious, Lingsi thought that he was going to invite Beili's people to dinner today.
So, he made a big pot, specially took out his treasured old bacon, which was lean meat, and fried two plates of it. He also made soup with the wild delicacies he had caught yesterday, vegetables, etc. It was very rich.
The aroma of ginger and garlic was so strong that it made Li Yuan, who had only been able to eat salty barbecue along the way, salivate.
As soon as Lu Xiaobai sat down to eat, Li Yuan carried his stool to the door and asked, "Brother He, my dear husband, do you think this stool is nice?"
