Seeing that the girl's attitude was also friendly, Xu Jing immediately said to her.
"Do you need help?"
After saying this, she gave the man a meaningful look.
Before the woman could answer, the man reacted first and turned to Xu Jing in a harsh tone,
"Mind your own business! I'm her cousin, and I have some ties to her! Besides, there are so many people on the street, what would I dare do?"
After saying this, the man couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"I'm so idle that I don't care about anything!"
Upon hearing that the man was actually her daughter's cousin, Xu Jing was somewhat surprised and embarrassed.
It turns out that this is just a household affair between cousins.
But after hearing the man's last words, I immediately felt unhappy.
"Looking at the ferocious look on your face when you stopped someone just now, who would have guessed you were her cousin? Someone who didn't know you would have thought you were some bully demanding protection money in the street."
It was indeed not Xu Jing's fault that she had misjudged him. It was mainly because of the man's behavior just now, and the woman's embarrassed expression as she wanted to avoid him. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed reluctant.
This is hard not to think too much.
Seeing Xu Jing and her cousin quarreling, the girl subconsciously glanced at Lin Xi, then quickly looked away.
Then he walked up to Xu Jing, blocked her behind him, and said to his cousin with a serious face: "Cousin, I really don't know. I can't help you with this. You should find someone else to help."
"If you don't leave, I'll tell my grandfather..."
Upon hearing this, my cousin obviously realized her determination not to help.
She was so angry that she could only grit her teeth and point at her and say, "Bai Miao, just wait and see how my mother will scold you!"
After saying that, the man angrily turned away.
Only after Bai Miao's cousin left did she lower her shoulders and quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he turned to look at Lin Xi and Xu Jing, and smiled at them embarrassedly: "Thank you for just now, my name is Bai Miao, you, I, I actually know you..."
Bai Miao originally wanted to pretend that she didn't know Lin Xi, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she found that Lin Xi was looking at her quietly.
She suddenly felt embarrassed to lie anymore.
Xu Jing didn't notice Bai Miao's hesitation, and was quite curious about how she knew herself and Lin Xi.
She recalled carefully the past week or so, although they had seen Bai Miao at the hotel on the first day.
After that, they stayed in the village for a few days and it seemed that they never saw Bai Miao again.
The main reason is that they are interns after all, and they basically stay at the archaeological base every day. Their activities do not overlap with those of the villagers at all.
And there are quite a few students coming this time. How come Bai Miao knows them without any product interaction?
However, after thinking about these things for a while, Xu Jing's gaze quickly fell on Lin Xi.
Lin Xi had just helped the village solve the river flood two days ago. As a villager, Bai Miao should have heard something about it.
So actually she might know Lin Xi, and she was just a bystander.
When you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
As if he could see Xu Jing's confusion, Bai Miao quickly explained how he recognized Lin Xi and Xu Jing.
The truth was similar to what Xu Jing had guessed. Bai Miao did know Lin Xi because of the situation of the river in the village, and he also became familiar with Xu Jing, his roommate.
In fact, not many people in the village know Lin Xi's identity.
In order to protect Lin Xi's privacy and avoid causing more trouble to her internship, the village chief concealed the identity of the master who managed the river from everyone.
As for why Bai Miao knew this, it was actually because her grandfather was the village chief...
That's why she knows more inside information than others.
Not only that, this time her cousin stopped her halfway because of this incident.
Just as Bai Miao was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a voice beside his ear.
"Your cousin wants you to help introduce him to a master?"
Hearing this, Bai Miao subconsciously smiled in distress.
"Yeah, he..."
He immediately reacted halfway through and looked at Lin Xi in surprise.
"Master, how did you know that?"
Lin Xi smiled.
"I can see that there's something wrong with the aura around him."
Of course, there was another reason. Just before Bai Miao drove her cousin away, she looked at herself with a nervous and worried look.
Then she immediately drove her cousin away in a tough manner.
After this series of actions, it was hard for Lin Xi not to see that Bai Miao didn't want him to stay with her cousin.
She and Bai Miao's cousin had never met before, so naturally there was no grudge between them.
Combined with his own identity and the evil aura on Bai Miao's cousin, it is easy to figure out why Bai Miao did this.
It should be Bai Miao's cousin who wanted to ask her about the situation of the river master in the village, but Bai Miao listened to her grandfather and was determined not to reveal Lin Xi's identity.
That's why I didn't agree to my cousin's request.
Not only that, he was so panicked when he saw Lin Xi suddenly appear.
After hearing Lin Xi's explanation, Bai Miao's eyes lit up immediately. He stared at Lin Xi blankly, as if he was looking at an idol, and was deeply impressed.
"Master, you are truly amazing..."
She looks like a little fangirl.
Lin Xi coughed lightly and said, "If he comes to see you again, just let him come to me."
Otherwise, because of her cousin's domineering tone towards her, Bai Miao would probably be bullied by her cousin a lot in private.
To deal with someone like Bai Miao's cousin, she only needs to make a slight move.
When Bai Miao heard this, he came to his senses instantly, shook his head quickly, and said seriously.
"No, my grandfather said that your identity information cannot be leaked outside."
Otherwise, if it causes inconvenience to Lin Xi's work, they will be repaying kindness with enmity.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Xi didn't force her.
The three girls were of similar age, and Bai Miao was a local. When he learned that they came to the market specifically, he took the initiative to take them for a walk.
Led by Bai Miao, a local, Lin Xi and Xu Jing discovered many interesting places at the market.
While shopping at the market, seeing that Xu Jing was still worried about whether her cousin would do something naughty, Bai Miao briefly told her about her cousin and her family situation.
The cousin just now is Aunt Bai Miao’s son, his surname is Fan, and his name is Fan Tian.
Bai Miao's grandmother and grandfather both lived in the same village. Her mother and aunt both married people from the same village, but her eldest aunt married someone from another village.
Although my uncle's family lives in the same town as them, the distance is quite far, and it is not as convenient to travel between them as if they were in the same village.
The fact that there was something wrong with the river in their village was known not only to the villagers themselves but also to several nearby villages.
