Chapter 868 The prince is blessed to have a good brother like you
Song Yanxi looked at the large patch of wet mud on Xi Lin's back and said calmly, "Don't worry, old man. He has a thick skin and won't get hurt easily."
Hearing this, the clay figure on the ground suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth to say something.
The old ox mooed at the right time, and the rain water brought up by its tail immediately covered his mouth.
Xi Lin quickly climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet, spat on the ground several times, and said with a dark face: "You cruel woman, I have no reason to come out to find you."
Guessing what Song Yanxi would say, he added: "The same goes for Mo. Neither of you two is a good person, and together you are a bunch of bad people."
It happened to be raining, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the mud on his face mixed with rain water flowed into his mouth.
"Ptah, pah, pah!" Xi Lin tasted the earthy smell and almost retched on the spot. He quickly lowered his head and spat on the ground.
Seeing how miserable he looked, the old man leading the cow opened his mouth, wanting to speak but not daring to.
Why does he feel that this young man doesn't seem very smart?
Catching a glimpse of the old man's disdainful look, Xi Lin didn't bother to explain to him. He frowned and asked Song Yanxi, "What are you going to do next?"
Raising his hand to wipe the water off his face, he said in frustration, "It's raining so hard, I can't just search aimlessly like this."
Song Yanxi: "Do you have any better ideas?"
Meeting her eyes that were slightly red from fatigue, Xi Lin choked.
He scratched his hair in frustration and said in a deep voice, "Go back to Yan Mansion first, and leave the rest to me."
Song Yanxi didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly, her eyes had already given him the answer.
She would never go back until she found Mo Jinchuan.
"You!" Xi Lin gritted his teeth and cursed, "You two are really more stubborn than the other.
Go ahead and do it. It would be better if both of you die. I will bury you together then, so you don’t have to run back and forth to visit your graves during the Qingming Festival next year.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his head.
When he turned around, he found that the old man had raised the bullwhip in his hand high and was about to hit him.
The old man and the young man looked at each other. The old man reluctantly put down the whip and scolded: "You young man, your words are really rude. If I were your parents, I would definitely give you a good slap in the face."
Xi Lin stamped his feet in anger and pointed at Song Yanxi and said, "I said something rude, but it's because someone did something rude."
But before he could say anything else, the old man pulled his raincoat and said, "It's raining so hard, the river is about to flood over. Let's find a place to take shelter."
He grabbed the rope on the old ox's nose ring with one hand and pointed to the higher ground in the west with the other. "The terrain over there is high. Even if the water rises, it won't flood us. The villagers are waiting there."
Thinking of something, he sighed, "God is really angry this time. It has been raining for three days in a row, including today. Isn't this clearly pushing people to death?
If it keeps raining like this, the water won’t be contained and will flood the fields, and all our work for the past six months will be in vain.”
Seeing that the two men didn't move, the old man suddenly became anxious.
He shouted, "How can you two be so stubborn? The water is coming down and you still don't run away. What is more important than saving your life?"
Knowing that the old man had good intentions, Song Yanxi smiled at him kindly and said, "Old man, we appreciate your kindness.
But we still need to find someone, so we won’t go with you.”
"Looking for someone?" The old man's eyes widened, and he said with a strange expression: "It's raining so hard, everyone in the village has gone out to hide, not even a chicken is left, how can there be anyone left?
If Huang Huang hadn't insisted on going to the river to bathe, I wouldn't have let it run down without watching it, and you wouldn't even have seen me."
Xi Lin asked in surprise: "Is there no one else in the village?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not that there are no people, it's that they have all hidden in high places. Who knows when the water will come up again.
As the old saying goes, when you can see the water, you can’t escape it.”
He glanced towards the river, frowned, and asked, "Are you really not leaving?"
Song Yanxi nodded and said, "The rain is getting heavier. You should take the cows and go meet up with the other villagers."
"You..." The old man sighed heavily, took off the straw hat on his head and handed it to Xi Lin, saying: "Put it on, at least it can cover you up a little, otherwise you will drink your fill before you even find any water."
After saying this, he hurriedly drove the old ox away.
After taking a few steps, he turned around and reminded Song Yanxi and Xi Lin, "It's raining so hard, the road is wet and slippery, you two can't go to the river!"
Song Yanxi thanked him and walked straight towards the village with an umbrella.
Seeing this, the old man sighed and said, "This girl is really stubborn. Everyone in the village has gone out to hide, so there is no one left for her to look for."
He didn't dare to delay after saying this, and patted the old yellow ox and said, "Huang Huang, hurry up and go."
If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave once the water comes.
Xi Lin put his straw hat on his head and followed Song Yanxi, stomping around a bit, cursing, "This troublesome Mo Jinchuan, I'm going to give him two big slaps in the face when I find him."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi paused slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Lin said sadly, "Don't tell me that he made us brave such heavy rain and risk being washed away to find him, and you still want to protect him."
Song Yanxi: "Remember to slap me twice more when the time comes."
Xi Lin became interested when he heard this and asked quickly, "You also dislike him, right?"
He rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Why don't we stop looking for him and let him fend for himself out there.
It just so happens that the betrothal gifts and other things are all ready at the Jin Palace. I will pick a good day in a couple of days and go to the Yan Palace to propose."
Song Yanxi glanced at him and said coldly, "It is a blessing for the prince to have a good brother like you."
Xi Lin raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "You are so nice to hear. Unlike Mo Jinchuan, that sharp-tongued man, not a single word out of ten is pleasant to hear."
It would be fine if it was just rude words.
After all, he is not only handsome but also kind-hearted, so I won't bother with him over such a small matter.
But his beatings hurt so much!
Moreover, his hands are dirty, and he only chooses places that are inconvenient for others to see. He is simply shameless.
You say he is such a handsome man, a reincarnated miracle doctor, he can't just lift up his clothes to show his belly and thighs in front of his brother's future wife.
Although he has a great figure, he still knows that one should not bully his brother's wife.
Besides, with Song Yanxi's temper, if he really had any inappropriate thoughts, he wouldn't have to wait for Mo Jinchuan to come back and deal with him.
Who wouldn't be afraid of that handful of silver needles shining with cold light?
Xi Lin was just complaining in his heart when he heard Song Yanxi say coldly, "Doctor Xi is quite capable to be disliked by the prince."
The implication is that he deserved to be scolded.
There are so many people around Mo Jinchuan, why doesn't he scold others but only scold him?
It goes without saying who the problem lies with.
Xi Lin: “…”
He took back what he had just said. This was not a good thing either!
