Chapter 142 The Timid Lin Dayou
Lin Luoxi believed that Meng Huai'an, with such a noble status, would certainly not be short of money from her, so she simply moved on.
"Now that an agreement has been reached, Miss Lin, could you please give me some food? I'm starving." Seeing Lin Luoxi's greedy look as if she were falling for money, Meng Huai'an quickly promised her with money.
It wasn't that he was being dramatic; he was just really hungry because he hadn't eaten anything all night and all day.
If he doesn't get something to eat soon, he'll probably starve to death in the cave.
"You can have something to eat, but the price will be extra. If you want something nicer, the price will be higher. If you want something lighter, the price will be reasonable. Which one do you choose?" The other party was a rich young master, and she felt that if she didn't charge him, it would be a bit disrespectful to him.
"I'll choose meat. As long as I get good food, the price is negotiable." Good heavens, what kind of person has he encountered? He's obsessed with money! He's starving to death, and they're still talking about money with him.
As long as you feed him and take good care of his stomach, you won't have to worry about money.
Seeing that Meng Huai'an seemed to be open to negotiating the price, Lin Luoxi quickly took out the food she had prepared for him from her spatial storage.
Even if Lin Dayou hadn't remembered that there was still an injured person in the cave tonight, she had already made up her mind to bring food up the mountain after her family fell asleep. However, with Lin Dayou's suggestion, she had a legitimate reason to come to the back mountain to deliver the food.
"What kind of dish is this? It smells so good!" Compared to Lin Luoxi's night vision, Meng Huai'an was far inferior, so he naturally didn't see that what Lin Luoxi took out was just a simple farmhouse dish.
However, considering that the other party was still injured, Lin Luoxi added spiritual dew to the food, so the food naturally tasted much better than the food in the restaurant.
When Lin Luoxi took out the food, Meng Huai'an smelled something even more delicious than the food prepared by his chef. He was already extremely hungry, and the aroma made him drool.
"It's nothing, just some home-cooked dishes." Lin Luoxi found Meng Huai'an's silly, puppy-like appearance, sniffing around at the smell of delicious food, and since he was already quite good-looking, she couldn't help but find him adorable.
"Impossible! Just smelling it, I think it's even more delicious than the food from those famous restaurants in the capital." He almost blurted out something, but luckily he realized his mistake in time and corrected himself.
Lin Luoxi wasn't really stupid; she naturally grasped the key point of Meng Huai'an's sudden pause during his speech.
However, she was just a peasant girl now, and she didn't care about things like the capital or the palace. All she wanted to do was make her money, so she pretended not to hear it.
"Eat quickly, I need to get back to sleep." Lin Luoxi pushed the food towards Meng Huai'an and urged him.
"Okay, okay..." It's really not good to make Lin Luoxi, a young lady, run to the back mountain in the middle of the night.
Meng Huai'an felt both grateful and guilty towards Lin Luoxi for saving him and bringing him food in the middle of the night, and planned to give her more reward for saving his life when he returned.
"Mmm, delicious, really delicious..." He had eaten many delicacies, but this was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious food.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he found that when he ate the food, he felt warm all over.
The wounds all over my body, which had been fatally stabbed before, were gradually heating up, giving off a warm and slightly itchy feeling, as if the wounds were healing.
"Eat as much as you like. To make sure you get proper nutrition, we've saved all the meat dishes for you..." Lin Luoxi said this to make Meng Huai'an feel guilty and ask him to give her more money.
The family just bought so much land, which cost a lot. If Meng Huai'an were more generous and donated generously, she would have more money to spare when starting construction later.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I will remember your kindness. I will give you more reward when I get back." This Miss Lin probably thought he was ungrateful, mentioning his life-saving grace in every few words. She probably wanted him to give her more reward, and he knew that.
"Alright, I believe Young Master Meng will keep his word." Lin Luoxi didn't mince words when it came to Meng Huai'an's understanding, effectively blocking any possibility of him backing out later.
It wasn't that Lin Luoxi was materialistic; the main problem was that the meal she prepared for Meng Huai'an contained spirit dew.
The priceless spirit dew can help Meng Huai'an recover quickly, so it's not wrong for her to ask for more compensation.
"Daughter, daughter..." To avoid Lin Wangshi's questioning, Lin Dayou mustered his courage and ran towards the back mountain.
As soon as he ran into the woods, looking at the overlapping and shadowy figures around him, he was already terrified. He was so scared that his soul almost left his body, and he wanted to go back and explain things properly to Lin Wangshi.
But he was afraid that Lin Wenqian and the other kids would laugh at him for being a coward. Plus, it was so dark, and Lin Dayou was worried about Lin Luoxi going to the back mountain alone. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and rushed into the mountain with his head down, not daring to look up at the scenery around him.
Along the way, under the dim moonlight, they stumbled and staggered to the outside of the cave, and began to call out loudly for Lin Luoxi.
"Hey, Dad, I'm here..." At first, Lin Luoxi thought she had misheard, but after listening carefully for a couple of times, she realized that it was the timid Lin Dayou who had come to find her. She hurriedly ran out of the cave and began to respond to Lin Dayou.
"Daughter, I've finally found you! Are you alright?" Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's reply, Lin Dayou immediately ran towards her.
Seeing Lin Luoxi standing unharmed at the cave entrance, Lin Dayou breathed a sigh of relief, finally at ease.
"Girl, has the person in the cave woken up?" Lin Dayou saw that Lin Luoxi was alright and began to look into the dark cave, but it was too dark and he couldn't see anything.
"Yes, you're awake." Lin Luoxi saw that Lin Dayou was still breathing heavily, so she asked her if she was alright. She started to find Lin Dayou more agreeable, and her tone wasn't as harsh as before.
"Girl, it's so dark, aren't the people inside afraid?" After saying that, Lin Dayou took out two flints from his pocket, rubbed them together in the air, and the sparks that came out illuminated the cave clearly.
However, the light only lasted for a moment and quickly went out.
"Dad, you wait here. I'll look for some firewood nearby," Lin Luoxi said quickly when she saw the flame-like object on Lin Dayou's body.
"Okay, be careful," Lin Dayou replied readily.
As long as his family was in the mountains, Lin Dayou's fear lessened considerably.
The father and daughter worked together seamlessly and quickly lit a fire inside the cave, where they also saw Meng Huai'an eating in the dark.
