Chapter 27: Big and small packages are gold mountains
Looking at this clever little girl in front of me, I wondered what unexpected tricks she was planning this time.
"Just listen to me! Hurry up." Lin Xiyan's face was tense and her expression was serious.
As he spoke, he quickened his pace, his steps becoming hurried.
She had already made a detailed plan in her mind. She estimated that if she set out for Nanyan City now, bought what she needed, and then returned, she would be able to return to the camp just in time before everyone else did.
Everything can be concealed without leaving any flaws.
Seeing how determined she was, Jiang Moyu was puzzled, but he sighed helplessly, turned around and quickly walked back to the camp, leading out the BMW.
He helped her sit on the horse steadily with both hands, then jumped on the horse nimbly, then raised the reins and lightly clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
He immediately rode at full speed along the winding road, heading towards Nanyan City.
Soon, the towering city gate of Nanyan City came into view.
There was a lot of noise and bustle at the city gate, with people coming and going and peddlers shouting non-stop.
Jiang Moyu pulled the reins and helped Lin Xiyan dismount the horse, and the two of them followed the crowd into the city.
Lin Xiyan shuttled through the streets and alleys, heading straight towards the Miao shop.
The shop is not big, but it is full of dazzling goods, and all kinds of green plant seedlings exude vitality.
The boss saw a customer coming and hurriedly put on a smile to greet him:
"Miss, Sir, what do you need? The seedlings here are all carefully selected!"
Lin Xiyan didn't waste any words and said in a crisp voice:
"Boss, give me fifty citrus seedlings, with strong branches and plump buds. Also pick out some good vegetable seedlings, beans, cabbages, radishes, everything."
The boss's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and went to the back to prepare the goods with swift hands and feet.
Jiang Moyu stood aside, and taking advantage of this gap, he finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, approached Lin Xiyan, and asked in a low voice:
"Xi'er, you've been very generous in buying horses and seedlings along the way."
"Where does this money come from?"
Lin Xiyan's expression froze when she heard this. She tugged at the corner of his clothes with her small hand and warned him:
"Brother Mo Yu, please stop asking. It's not good for you to know too much about things you shouldn't know, so just keep your mouth shut."
Jiang Moyu was stunned by her words. He pouted helplessly and had to swallow his questions.
After a while, the boss packed the citrus seedlings and vegetable seeds neatly and placed them on the counter.
Lin Xiyan took out a silver ingot, placed it on the table, and added two more taels, and solemnly instructed:
"Boss, please make sure to deliver these things to Qinjiang tomorrow. Tell them that it was sent by Lord Xu Liang. These two taels of silver are hard-earned money for the delivery. Please don't delay."
The boss was so greedy that he smiled and promised: "Don't worry, girl, I will deliver it on time and will never let you down!"
After everything was done, Lin Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the shop with Jiang Moyu.
Jiang Moyu led the horse over and carefully helped Lin Xiyan onto the horse again. The two of them rushed back to Qinjiang along the way they came.
Along the way, Jiang Moyu was full of doubts, but seeing Lin Xiyan's unquestionable look, he could only swallow his doubts silently.
By the time we got back to the camp, the sun had already set.
Lin Wuyu and others were still busy in the fields, and Mrs. Lin and Aunt Zhang had not returned yet.
Lin Xiyan led the horse back to the camp quietly and whispered to Jiang Moyu:
"Brother Mo Yu, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Just pretend we were just mowing the grass by the stream. Remember that."
Jiang Moyu nodded helplessly.
The two of them straightened their clothes and pretended nothing had happened.
They pretended to be calm and returned to the camp, each finding work to do and pretending to be busy.
But Jiang Moyu's gaze drifted towards Lin Xiyan from time to time. Seeing that she looked calm and as if nothing had happened, he felt more and more that this little girl was hiding a lot of secrets that were difficult for others to understand.
Not long after, Lin Wuyu and his group, who had been working all day, returned slowly, carrying farm tools and dragging their feet exhausted.
"The land is almost plowed today, and some seeds have been planted. At this rate, the harvest will definitely be good!"
Lin Wuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke loudly, his voice revealing unstoppable joy.
Lin Xiyan came forward and handed him a wet towel obediently, smiling sweetly, "Daddy, you've worked hard, wipe the sweat off your face."
Lin Wuyu reached out and pinched her cheek lovingly, smiling, "Xier, you've been very well behaved today. Did you not cause any trouble in the camp?"
Lin Xiyan blinked and replied crisply, "Xi'er is very obedient. She has been staying near the camp and helping Brother Mo Yu with some odd jobs."
As he said this, he did not forget to give Jiang Moyu a suggestive look.
Jiang Moyu nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Yes, Xier even helped me cut the grass."
After washing up, everyone gathered around the campfire.
Aunt Zhang brought out another steaming meal, today she added some soup made from freshly picked wild vegetables, which was fragrant.
As the night deepened, everyone fell into a deep sleep after eating and drinking their fill.
......
Day 2
Near noon, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Lin Xiyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurried to the intersection to look, and sure enough, she saw the owner of the Miao shop driving a horse with large and small bags on his back.
“Whoa—”
A long, drawn-out call to halt pierced the camp.
Everyone looked curious and gathered around.
Looking at the dusty carriage, he was full of doubts.
"Why would anyone come to this desolate place where no one lives?" someone muttered.
Lin Wuyu took the lead and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
"This is something that Lord Xu Liang specially arranged for delivery. Please accept it with confidence."
The delivery man had a smile on his face and spoke sincerely. As he spoke, he deftly unloaded the heavy packages from the carriage one by one.
When Lin Wuyu heard the name "Xu Liang", his body suddenly stiffened and his eyes instantly turned red.
After a while, he muttered to himself, "I never thought that even though I, Lin Wuyu, have fallen into such a state, Brother Xu would still be thinking about me and worrying about me so much."
"It's really worth it that I made this friend!"
His voice was trembling and choked.
Lin Mu also stood there in a daze, the scene of the house being raided in the past instantly flooding into his mind like a surging tide.
That day, Uncle Xu had a stern expression and harsh words. His warnings were still ringing in my ears. At that time, I felt that he was ruthless.
But now when I think about it, isn’t there trust and concern for my family hidden between the lines and in the corners of my eyes?
Thinking of this, his eyes turned slightly red.
Upon hearing this, the Lin family members around were also shocked and looked at each other.
Who could have expected that the person who participated in the house raiding that day and seemed cold-hearted would become a benefactor who came to our aid today.
Everyone stood there in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.
"This friendship, this kindness! I, Lin Wuyu, will never forget it."
"Daddy, can you please take a look at what this is?"
Lin Xiyan was beside them, extremely anxious, and kept urging them on, fearing that if they were delayed any longer, the delicate saplings would dry out and die in the packaging.
