Chapter 23 This thing is so dirty
Lin Wuyu's expression suddenly changed. He obviously had not expected that his daughter would have such a bold idea!
He looked around vigilantly and saw that there was no trace of anyone in this desolate wilderness. He then breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down.
"Xier, you can't say this in front of others!"
"If anyone knew about this, they would be beheaded. Besides, I, Lin Wuyu, have been promoted by the emperor to become the Minister of Revenue. I have always been loyal and would never have such thoughts."
"Dad, that was all in the past. If that dog emperor truly loved you, why would he exile the entire Lin family to the Southern Wilderness without finding out the truth?"
"Over the past decade or so, you've made great contributions and worked hard. You've worked so hard to be loyal and diligent, but what have you gotten in return?"
"You saw what the city's citizens and officials did to you on the day of your exile! Was it worth it?"
Lin Xiyan said earnestly.
Lin Wuyu's face was slightly annoyed: "Xi'er, I treat what you said today as a joke. Don't mention it again in the future!"
Lin Wuyu simply could not do such a heretical, disloyal and unfilial thing.
He flicked his sleeves and walked forward quickly. Lin Xiyan followed him in small steps: "Daddy!"
She knew that her old-fashioned father was angry. It seemed that it was too early to speak out. She had to take it slowly.
She chased after him, tugged at Lin Wuyu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Daddy, Xier knows she's wrong, please don't be angry~"
Lin Wuyu then stopped and scratched her nose: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have that mysterious space! You must be low-key and cautious in everything you do."
He sighed again: "Dad's only wish now is that our family can be reunited, and that you and your brother can be healthy and happy!"
Lin Xiyan smiled brightly and playfully stuck out her tongue: "Then Daddy's wish has come true! Anything else?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Lin Wuyu's eyes: "The other is to be able to wash away the injustice and restore the innocence of my Lin family!"
Seeing her father looking somewhat lost, Lin Xiyan immediately stepped forward to comfort him: "Dad, it will definitely come true. Justice is in the hearts of the people!"
Lin Wuyu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
"Hahaha, Xier is really daddy's little cotton-padded jacket."
Lin Wuyu and Lin Xiyan walked to a slightly open wasteland and stopped.
"It's right here."
Lin Xiyan took out six hoes and two curved plows from the space.
When she first entered the city, she had made up her mind to buy four ox carts that could be used to transport people and goods as well as plow the fields, which was simply killing three birds with one stone.
Even though Lin Wuyu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the tool that appeared out of nowhere.
"Xier, this secret technique is truly magical!"
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, this world is really full of wonders!
"Dad, go find someone to take the things away. I'll wait for you here."
Lin Wuyu quickly stopped him, "No! You're still young, and Daddy is worried about you being out here in the wilderness. Come back with me."
Seeing her father's worried look, Lin Xiyan could only nod obediently.
"Okay, I'll go back with Dad."
She took out a piece of salted duck from the space, and the two of them ate it as they walked.
I savored it with relish and finished a bowl of pickled duck just in time to reach the camp.
Seeing the father and daughter return, the women guarding the camp came over to ask about their situation.
"Brother Lin, can you borrow some farm tools?"
Although the hope is slim, everyone's enthusiasm remains undiminished.
Lin Wuyu pondered for a moment and said, "The natives agreed to lend us six hoes and two curved plows, but on the condition that we give them half of our harvest this time."
"It's good to borrow them. With these tools, our sowing efficiency will be much better and it won't be tiring!"
Aunt Zhang said happily.
"You want half? That's too greedy!" A harsh voice came from the crowd.
"Could it be that someone has subcontracted it to a private company?"
Lin Wuju and his family walked over slowly.
Why are they here again? Lin Xiyan was speechless.
"Brother, if you have any other clever ideas, then please share them with me. Otherwise, please don't make any noise here!"
Lin Wuyu's face turned cold when he saw who was coming.
"Besides, why are you and your family here? Aren't the men of the Lin family weeding by the stream right now?"
A trace of panic flashed in Lin Mucheng's eyes:
"I... I sprained my foot when I went into the forest today, so I need to rest!"
Lin Muyi came over from a distance with more than ten young men from the Lin family.
Seeing Lin Mucheng's appearance, he cursed: "Useless trash."
Lin Mucheng was so angry that he pointed at Lin Muyi.
"Who are you scolding?"
Lin Muyi glanced at Lin Mucheng, his eyes showing even stronger impatience:
"Whoever is called a waste is the one who is being scolded."
"I haven't been able to help you at all this morning. I don't want to waste my time talking to you. I'm busy with work, so get out of here."
Lin Muyi bumped into his shoulder and walked in front of Lin Wuyu.
Only Lin Mucheng was left standing there, shaking with anger, pointing at Lin Muyi's back, not saying a word for a long time.
Seeing Lin Muyi coming back, Lin Wuyu hurriedly asked: "Muyi, you're back so soon?"
"We have pulled out all the taller weeds and removed all the gravel that was on the ground. The remaining stones are buried in the ground and are difficult to dig out."
Lin Mu also reported the situation in the fields.
Lin Wuyu felt very distressed when he saw Lin Muyi covered in mud, and he patted his son's shoulder.
"No problem. I've borrowed some hoes. Send someone to go with me and get them. I also have two curved plows. You won't have to work so hard."
"Really? This is really good news!" Lin Muyi looked at Lin Wuyu excitedly.
"But we have to give half of our harvest to the natives."
Lin Muyi thought for a moment and said, "Half is a bit much, but with the tools we have, our efficiency will be much higher and we can reclaim more land."
"Then I can sell the crops I planted for money, and I won't have to borrow from others!"
"That's right! Brother, you are so thoughtful." Lin Xiyan walked forward and gave Lin Muyi a thumbs up.
Lin Muyi wanted to touch Lin Xiyan's pink little face, but when he saw that his hands were covered with yellow mud, he froze and quickly withdrew his hands.
"Brother, go get the hoe now. Soon, Xier will be able to eat the crops you planted."
"Yeah!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyan didn't feel disgusted at all. She grabbed her brother's hand and wiped the yellow mud off it with her handkerchief.
She saw that her brother's hands were covered with scratches, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. She thought that these were scratches caused by the weeds while she was weeding.
He touched Lin Xiyan's head and followed Lin Wuyu to get the hoe.
Lin Xiyan walked over to Jiang Moyu and said, "Brother Moyu, when the curved plow arrives, we can use the oxen to plow the fields."
"Yes." Jiang Moyu was also very happy to hear the good news.
"You used to be a groom, so I'll leave these horses and cattle to you to take care of."
"Okay!" Jiang Moyu responded repeatedly.
This job is easy, and when I have free time, I can catch some wild game to provide Xier with nutrition!
"I'll go to the river and cut some grass."
Jiang Moyu took his tools and went to the stream, where the grass grew well.
Lin Xiyan collected the wood ash on the ground in full view of everyone.
"Xiao Xier, what are you doing? This thing is so dirty."
