Chapter 40: Brother Liang, do you have something to ask me?
Liang Jingyao didn't think about whether he regretted it or not. He still had feelings for Cheng Feng in his heart. If he didn't save her, he would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart!
But Cheng Feng repeatedly provoked Lin Xiaoyue, and as his master, he was too embarrassed to speak, "Is it okay?"
Lin Xiaoyue accepted the jade pendant and said, "Okay. Let him go at dawn tomorrow. I don't want to see him again. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I can do!"
Liang Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response: "That's no problem. You should have a good rest. This kind of thing won't happen again in the future!"
With Liang Jingyao's assurance, Lin Xiaoyue slept soundly from then on, and no inexplicable noises woke her up anymore.
The next day, Lin Xiaoyue slept until noon before she slowly got up.
However, she did not forget Liang Jingyao's promise yesterday. As soon as she opened the door, she began to look for Cheng Feng.
Sure enough, Brother Liang is a man who keeps his promises. Cheng Feng no longer exists in the bamboo courtyard, and he even brought all the dried radishes to the yard to dry!
Great! From today on, she can finally have some peace and quiet!
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Lin Xiaoyue stood in the yard and stretched out lazily. The sun was shining on her head. Brother Liang should be back from the fields soon. It was time to start cooking lunch!
She steamed the rice first. Since there was no one behind the earthen stove to watch the fire for her, she planned to steam a crucian carp so that she could control the heat herself.
She picked up a crucian carp from the tank, knocked it unconscious with the back of a knife, cut open its belly, took out the internal organs and gills, then scraped off the scales on the outside and put it in a wooden basin to wash.
Then she made a few cuts on the fish's back, rubbed the fish body with salt and placed it on a porcelain plate. In fact, soy sauce would have been the best, but she didn't have any now so she had to make do with salt. Later, she cut some green onions, ginger and garlic and placed them in the fish's belly and body respectively, and poured some wine to remove the fishy smell.
After marinating the fish slightly, she poured one-third of water into the pot, placed a wooden rack, placed the porcelain plate on the rack, and finally covered the pot.
After doing all this, Lin Xiaoyue went back to the earthen stove and lit the fire. After the water in the big pot boiled for a while, she stirred the firewood to reduce the fire.
The fish cooks quickly. After about ten minutes, the steamed crucian carp is ready.
Lin Xiaoyue took out the fish, cleaned the pot, and stir-fried some simple vegetables.
At this time, Liang Jingyao also returned to the yard. He smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen and asked from the yard, "Master Lin, what delicious food did you make today?"
Lin Xiaoyue came out with two pots of food and said with a smile, "I just fried two dishes, steamed crucian carp and stir-fried Chinese cabbage."
Liang Jingyao didn't just stand there, he went into the kitchen and got two bowls of rice.
Without Cheng Feng at the dinner table, the only sound left in the silence was the sound of the two of them eating, which made Lin Xiaoyue a little uncomfortable.
She thought of what happened last night and asked hesitantly, "Brother Liang, there are rumors down there that Yangmingshan is haunted. Is that all Cheng Feng's doing?"
Liang Jingyao had actually thought of it. Someone as smart as Lin Xiaoyue would figure it out sooner or later. That was why he was also angry with Cheng Feng last night because Cheng Feng's stupidity exposed their plan!
He nodded and said, "Yes, I am also responsible for scaring you."
Lin Xiaoyue had a lot of questions in her mind, but those had nothing to do with her. If she knew too much, she might be silenced at any time!
What she was more concerned about was whether she could bring Yunyun and her godfather and godmother to play?
"Brother Liang, although I have broken off relations with all my relatives and no longer have any contact with them, I still have a godsister. Her parents are my godparents, and we have a very good relationship. If they want to come visit me one day, you shouldn't make it difficult for them, right? If that's not possible, you can build my yard farther away so they don't disturb you."
Liang Jingyao was relieved to hear that Lin Xiaoyue didn't mind. But Lin Xiaoyue's next words made him hesitate. He didn't want too many strangers to come over, but he still had something to ask of Lin Xiaoyue. If she lived too far away, it would be too inconvenient!
"Some things are inconvenient to talk about right now. I asked Cheng Feng to pretend to be a ghost to scare people mainly because I need this mountain now. Master Lin, I absolutely trust you, but I don't know if your friends will reveal this place to others."
Lin Xiaoyue patted her chest and assured: "They are all honest people and won't say anything nonsense. Brother Liang, if you trust me, please trust my judgment. I won't just casually recognize anyone as my godfather or godmother!"
Liang Jingyao saw Lin Xiaoyue's burning eyes and firm tone, and could tell that she liked these people very much, but could he really believe them?
After a moment of silence, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, tell me in advance when you want to come over."
Lin Xiaoyue finally let go of her worries. She thought she would have to spend some more time talking, so she said gratefully, "When the house is finished, I'll invite my sister to stay with us for a few days."
Liang Jingyao nodded. He was planning to talk about building a house while having dinner. Since Lin Xiaoyue brought it up, he might as well talk about it.
After quickly finishing the last bite of rice in his bowl, he told his plan to build a house. "I plan to start building it tomorrow, right next to this yard. I need your help with something later, so it's not convenient to build it far away."
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Really? Is there anything I can do? Although this all started because of Cheng Feng, it's my own house after all. I really feel bad if I don't do anything."
Liang Jingyao smiled and shook her head, saying, "How can a girl like you do such dirty and tiring work? Don't worry, I've found a helper, and he will be here tomorrow. If it doesn't rain and the weather is good every day, everything will be ready in about seven or eight days. Just make us some delicious food every day!"
Lin Xiaoyue's heart suddenly became excited. Seven or eight days? That means she can see Yunyun again in less than a month!
Only one day after leaving the Chen family, she already missed Yunyun and her godfather and godmother. Without the bandits, at least they didn't have to worry anymore!
"Haha, since Brother Liang said so, I won't be polite with you! Just tell me what you want to eat, I'm still good at cooking!"
Liang Jingyao agreed with this point. The two meals prepared yesterday and today's were all to his liking. Since Lin Xiaoyue was here, he could save himself from cooking three meals a day.
He didn't want to recall the days when he and Cheng Feng lived in the bamboo courtyard!
"Okay! It's settled!"
Lin Xiaoyue was happy in her heart. Finally, her life was moving in a smooth direction!
Big Brother Liang just said that she had something to ask me, but I can't do anything else except making some food. She hasn't revealed any of the secrets of the space, so what could it be?
