Chapter 25 Wang Xiaoling's Imitation of the Beauty Causes Heavy Bleeding
Wang Xingxiong smiled happily, and there was no trace of unhappiness with Lin Xi on his face.
Lin Xi was suspicious. He clearly bought pork from the Sun family, so why was it delivered by Wang Xingxiong?
Wang Xingxiong didn't wait for Lin Xi to reply, and ordered to deliver a whole pig to Lin Xi's house. "Sister, don't get me wrong, Sun Shuping is too busy, so he asked us to help deliver it."
Lin Xi just felt strange. Sun Shuping had agreed to it yesterday, but why did he suddenly have no time today? It didn't make sense.
"System, check this pig for me."
[Beep, received the host's request, and is testing in progress. 】
【……】
[Warning! This pork has a risk of causing disease and is not recommended for consumption. ]
Lin Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Xingxiong. The other's eyes seemed to be welcoming, but there was a cunning light flashing in the depths.
Why did the Sun family give themselves a sick pig, or did the Wang family play a role in it?
The truth of the matter is still unclear, but Lin Xi knows that no matter who the instigator is, the purpose is definitely aimed at her.
"Did Sun Shuping really ask you to come?" Lin Xi looked at Wang Xingxiong with obvious distrust.
"How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask Sun Shuping." Wang Xingxiong's face showed "believe me now."
Lin Xi moved sideways to let Wang Xingxiong in.
A pig with its internal organs removed was placed in the yard. Lin Xi smelled the blood and felt a little uncomfortable.
After delivering the pork, Wang Xingxiong said goodbye.
Xiao Yongyan came out of the house and saw the pig that had just been slaughtered in the yard, and picked up the big knife at home.
Seeing this, Lin Xi quickly stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"We're not going to kill pigs." Xiao Yongyan had an expression that asked, "Why are you asking me this question?"
"Uh," Lin Xi didn't expect Xiao Yongyan to come here to kill pigs, "You also know how to kill pigs?"
Xiao Yongyan held up the knife and looked at the pig in front of him with a sharp gaze, "I have killed deer before, I think it is similar to killing pigs."
What he said made some sense, and Lin Xi couldn't find any words to refute it.
"Then I'll go to the mountain to find some materials, and I'll leave the job of slaughtering the pig to you." Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yongyan nodded and made the first move.
Lin Xi saw that Xiao Yongyan's movements were very skillful and it was obvious that he was not bragging just now, so he turned around and went to the back mountain.
After walking into the mountains and identifying the villagers around, Lin Xi entered the animal section of the system, which happened to contain a recipe for making bacon.
Lin Xi spent 5 experience points to exchange for the bacon recipe.
The recipe requires a lot of things, including branches, bark, firewood and the like. Lin Xi used the search function of the Shennong system to find them all. As for the other spices needed, it seems that he will have to go to the town.
Lin Xi’s ability was limited, so she only picked up a portion of each item. She couldn’t carry too much if there were too many.
In addition, Lin Xi then picked up some firewood and went home to make a fire.
Lin Xi's backpack was filled to the brim with a great harvest.
On the way home, Wang Xiaoling was watching her every move.
Seeing the basket of things behind Lin Xi, Wang Xiaoling wrote them down one by one. However, the more she wrote, the more puzzled she felt. She wondered why Lin Xi picked up so many branches.
When Lin Xi returned home, Xiao Yongyan had already cleaned the pork and cut the parts suitable for making bacon into strips.
As for the remaining parts that are not suitable for smoking bacon, Lin Xi has already decided to braise them and sell them together with the bacon.
The next day.
In order to prepare the ingredients for the bacon, Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan went to the town early in the morning.
As for Wang Xiaoling, she later found out that Lin Xi's family had gone to town, and she immediately decided to chase after them.
Sun Shuping really couldn't understand Wang Xiaoling's recent behavior. Not only was she nowhere to be seen from time to time, but she also didn't allow him to see Lin Xi.
The town was already quite familiar to Lin Xi and his friends. However, when Lin Xi went to find a place to buy spices, the owner there shook his head and said that he didn't have what Lin Xi needed and asked them to go to the county to buy them.
Lin Xi asked Xiao Yongyan for his opinion. Going to the county town would mean there was a possibility of being encountered by the officials.
They were exiles and according to the law they could not leave Taoli Village at will.
It's relatively safe to come to the town since no one knows about it. But if you go to the county town, it will be very troublesome if the government officials find out.
"It's okay, just go." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi didn't know where Xiao Yongyan got his confidence from. Although she really wanted to build up her business, it was quite dangerous to hang around under the eyes of the government.
"Xi'er, listen to me," Xiao Yongyan explained, "Although we shouldn't be in the county, firstly, the county has a large population, and the government officials won't check us one by one. Secondly, there are only a handful of officials who can really recognize us. As long as we disguise ourselves, not many people will recognize us."
What Xiao Yongyan said made sense. After thinking about it, Lin Xi agreed with him.
In order to conceal his identity as much as possible, Lin Xi bought some coarse linen clothes, put some wood ash on his face, and messed up his hair.
In this way, the couple looked no different from ordinary farmers, and their outstanding appearance was largely concealed.
Seeing Xiao Yongyan's miserable appearance, Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Master Xiao, I didn't expect you to have this side of you."
Xiao Yongyan knew without even looking that this was definitely a huge contrast from his usual self, but it was worth it as he could make Lin Xi happy.
"Let's go. It's getting late and we still have to rush to the county town." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi nodded.
Wang Xiaoling, who had been following Lin Xi and the others, went to the spice shop while they were away and carefully asked Lin Xi and the others what they wanted to buy.
But Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan were seen in disguise, talking to the driver.
Wang Xiaoling was in a dilemma. She didn't dare stay out overnight, or her mother-in-law would kill her.
After much thought, Wang Xiaoling took out the money she had secretly saved and bought some of the spices that Lin Xi had originally wanted.
Don’t underestimate the small bag in her hand; it cost Wang Xiaoling a full 150 coins.
After buying all these, Wang Xiaoling had almost no pocket money left, and her heart was bleeding.
Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan arrived in the town before dusk and checked into an inn.
Speaking of which, the waiter of the inn was very surprised. These two people did not look like they could afford to stay in an inn, but they came in and asked for an expensive room.
The beds in the inn were naturally not too big, and Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan faced a similar situation again.
Xiao Yongyan looked at the furnishings in the room and pretended to be calm and said, "It's been a busy day today, go to bed early."
Lin Xi tried to cheer herself up. As a modern woman, she already had experience, so there was no need to be nervous.
Xiao Yongyan is handsome and well-proportioned, and she is not at a disadvantage.
"Okay, I'll wash up first." Lin Xi turned around and picked up the towel to wash her face. The sound of her heartbeat almost deafened her.
Xiao Yongyan looked at Lin Xi's back as she pretended to be calm, with a smile on his face.
