Chapter 135: Family Picnic
He thought that Lin Jinxiu would be surprised, but he didn't expect Lin Jinxiu to nod, as if confirming his guess: "It seems that I didn't guess wrong." β
"Yo? The shopkeeper can guess this. Huai Yanqing looked at her, "How do you see it?" β
Lin Jinxiu put her hands on her cheeks and said, "Just by your gestures, I know that you are definitely not from a small place." β
She looked at Huai Yanqing with a smile, as if she had regained Yicheng: "But don't worry, only I can see it." β
Of course, Huai Yanqing knew what the basis for Lin Jinxiu said this, after all, this girl said that she was from another world, but she just smiled and said nothing.
Otherwise, with her being born in that small mountain village, how could she see his bearing?
"You'll be silly if you laugh again." Lin Jinxiu complained.
The two chatted like this, and when Lin Jinxiu began to feel sleepy, the sky was clouded.
"I'm sleepy...... Go back to sleep......" Lin Jinxiu yawned, stood up and tried to drill into the carriage, "You remember to change shifts with Cui Xu, don't be too tired......"
Huai Yanqing stopped her: "Don't go, you are all asleep, if I am also affected by you, what can I do if I will be sleepy?" β
Lin Jinxiu thought about it, after all, in her own era, the co-pilot generally didn't sleep, and seeing that only she was awake now, she had to sit back: "But I'm tired, what should I do?" β
Huai Yanqing let go of a hand and patted his shoulder: "Lend you to lean on." β
Lin Jinxiu saw that he actually motioned for himself to lean on his shoulder, and was a little embarrassed: "Hey, you can be regarded as taking advantage of me." β
Huai Yanqing knocked on the wall of the carriage behind him again: "Or you prefer to rely on this." β
Lin Jinxiu looked at the carriage and then at Huai Yanqing, caught in a dilemma.
She really didn't want to lean on the carriage, but if she leaned on Huai Yanqing......
Cut, forget it, let it go, isn't it just a shoulder, she won't lose a piece of meat, and it's more comfortable than a carriage.
Lin Jinxiu snorted, sat a little closer to Huai Yanqing, and leaned his head on Huai Yanqing's shoulders to the position of his back: "Good morning, good morning." β
"Good morning." Huai Yan Qingdao.
After Huai Yanqing finished speaking, there was no response, and when he looked down, Lin Jinxiu actually fell asleep directly.
"Hey, what if you don't sleep with me?" Huai Yanqing was shocked by this person's second sleep technique, but she couldn't bear to wake her up.
Huai Yanqing released the reins of the horse in his right hand, and only used his left hand to control the two horses that had been running all night, stabilizing his right shoulder, so that Lin Jinxiu could sleep more comfortably.
When Lin Jinxiu woke up again, she was lying on the grass.
"Huh?" She was a little confused, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Cui Xu looking at her with a smile.
"I'm asleep?" Lin Jinxiu asked, "What about Yanqing?" β
Cui Xu pointed to the direction where the carriage stopped: "Huai Yanqing drank the horse." β
That's right...... Lin Jinxiu turned over slightly.
The horses had been running all night, and it was time to rest, for they weren't bad animals.
Lin Jinxiu still felt sleepy, after all, she didn't rest all night.
"Where did Yanqing get such a lot of physical strength......" Lin Jinxiu looked at Huai Yanqing touching the horse's head, "He didn't sleep all night......"
Cui Xu ignored Lin Jinxiu's question, but asked her: "You two, did you really do the fake show?" β
"Huh?" Cui Xu stopped Lin Jinxiu at this moment, "What is it?" β
"When I was about to change shifts just now, I saw you sleeping well on Huai Yanqing's lap." Cui Xu's eyes were full of ridicule, "When did you two get together while we weren't paying attention?" β
This addition made Lin Jinxiu look confused.
On the legs?
On the legs?!
Wasn't she leaning on Huai Yanqing's shoulder? How did it become a leg?
Could it be that I sleep too ugly and get down?
Cui Xu looked at Lin Jinxiu and fell into thought, his face flushed slightly, and he laughed: "I won't tease you, you are leaning on his shoulder, not on his lap." β
"Hey......" Lin Jinxiu looked at him with empty eyes.
Cui Xu stood up, he didn't use crutches now, but he was still limping when he walked, and it hurt a little: "While we are resting, let's eat something to replenish our strength, what do you want to eat?" β
"Barbecueβ" Lin Jinxiu raised her hand.
Looking at the surrounding creek, green space, it's a pity not to eat barbecue.
"What is barbecue?" Cui Xu asked.
Lin Jinxiu rolled and got up from the ground, her sleepiness was gone, and her mind was full of barbecue.
"Come, I say you do."
Under Lin Jinxiu's command, Cui Xu built a stone pile on the edge of the stream, and asked Ning'er to go to the woods next to him to pick up some small branches as firewood, and burned the fire fiercely.
Lin Jinxiu, on the other hand, put some of the small branches that Ning Er picked up into the stream to wash them, and divided his potatoes into several pieces with a knife and put them on the small branches.
"If only there was meat." The corn, leeks and potatoes were all dressed and waiting to be placed on the fire, Lin Jinxiu muttered a sigh.
"Simple." Cui Xu took the skewered vegetables in Lin Jinxiu's hand, raised his other hand in front of his face and made a horn motion, "Huai Yanqing-"
"What's the matterβ" Huai Yanqing was cooling the horse with stream water, and when he heard Cui Xu shouting at him, he replied.
"Do you know how to hunt? I'll just get some meat back! Cui Xu then shouted, "Your shopkeeper wants to eat meat!" β
"Hey, hey, hey." Lin Jinxiu smiled.
This Cui Xu really teased her when he found an opportunity.
"Wellβ" replied from the other side, "which of you will bring the horse back!" β
"I'm coming!" Lin Jinxiu turned her head and said to Cui Xu, "Just roast it on the fire, if you want the seasoning, Ning'er knows where it is." β
Cui Xu was studying what he was holding: "Wrap it around me." β
Lin Jinxiu walked to Huai Yanqing's side, and saw him standing in the stream with his trouser legs rolled up and barefoot, and suddenly felt a little satisfied.
Taking the reins from his hand and taking the horse to the relatively empty lawn next to him, Lin Jinxiu turned his head and found that Huai Yanqing had put on his shoes and ran away.
Just as he was about to go back, Lin Jinxiu suddenly saw that there seemed to be fish in the creek.
"Sister, come on!" Ning'er's voice came, "The potatoes seem to be baked!" β
"Wait a minute!" Lin Jinxiu also pulled up her trousers and skirt, took off her shoes and went to the stream, wanting to catch a few small fish and come back.
It's a pity that I didn't wear a short outfit today.
This is the 200th time that Lin Jinxiu has complained that this long skirt is inconvenient, and as soon as she stepped into the water, the long skirt fell apart, and she fell into the stream and was covered with water everywhere.
No matter what, Lin Jinxiu looked at the corner of her skirt in a daze for a few seconds, bent down and stretched out her hands to a small fish in the creek that was pecking at the moss in the cracks of the stones.
"Smack!" The stream splashed, the small fish was not caught, and he threw himself off the water, Lin Jinxiu puffed out his cheeks, and planned to try it a second time.
"Sister!" Ning Er came to Lin Jinxiu with a bunch of baked potatoes, and when she found out that Lin Jinxiu was catching fish in the river, she also took off her shoes and prepared to give it a try, "Sister, I'll help you!" β
As a result, as soon as Ning'er came, the fish couldn't catch it even more.
The water droplets splashed everywhere, and Lin Jinxiu just wet the skirt, which is good, almost all over her body is wet.
"Okay, you little girl, look at the trick!" Lin Jinxiu picked up the water in the stream and poured it on Ning'er's face.
"Haha!" Ning Er was amused by Lin Jinxiu's actions, and also splashed water to salute her, and the two little girls actually had a water fight.
"What are you doing?" The two were having a good time, when a voice suddenly came from the side, and Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er's first reaction was to splash a handful of water without hesitation.
After splashing, I looked at it, and it was actually Huai Yanqing who had returned from hunting, with two rabbits tied to the branch on his shoulder, and a wild boar.
Huai Yanqing, who had hunted and made his clothes spotless, was covered with water droplets on his face at this time, and his hair and the front of his clothes were wet, completely falling for his own tricks.
"Okay, you guys, I'll find you meat to eat, and you're doing this to me."
Huai Yanqing put his prey on the ground, and actually bent down and slapped it on the ground with one palm, and the internal force stirred up a large splash, splashing Ning Er and Lin Jinxiu back and forth.
"Ning'er! This person hangs up! Above! β
The situation immediately became that Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er worked together to deal with Huai Yanqing, until Cui Xu waited left and right, why didn't anyone come back to look for it......
Three soaking wet water men appeared in front of him with two rabbits and a wild boar.
"Did you go fishing in the river and catch a wild boar and two rabbits?" Cui Xu was puzzled.
"Ahem, ahem." Lin Jinxiu cleared her throat and handed over what was in her hand, "Nothing happened, nothing." β
With that, the three of them lined up and walked to the carriage.
"You do it first, let's go change clothes."
Cui Xu saw that the three people were like snails, leaving a long watermark behind him as he walked: "If you don't come out quickly, I will eat all the meat with my aunt, and I won't leave you at all!" β
"All-you-can-eat!" Lin Jinxiu's voice came from the side of the carriage, "I don't care if I die!" β
After Lin Jinxiu and the three of them changed their clothes, Cui Xu also happened to finish peeling the skin and taking the internal organs by the stream, and returned to the front of the pile of firewood with the whole meat.
Lin Jinxiu took the things he needed from the spice bag he had prepared.
Although most of the things have been sold, and those that can't be sold or taken away have been given away, Lin Jinxiu still made some preparations for the trip on the road in the past few days.
After all, the barbecue banquet with her family was something she started thinking about in the bandit village.
Cui Xu first put the rabbit meat in the fire and burned the skin to black.
Then he took the burnt rabbit meat to the river and scrubbed it, saying that this would remove the roots of the hair that could not be pulled out, and also make the skin more crispy.
And Lin Jinxiu squatted next to the wild boar that Cui Xu had handled, cut off pieces of meat with a knife and put them into meat skewers, neatly stacked them on the side, ready to have a meeting and roast them.
Ning Er and Aunt Li were dealing with the vegetables and corn that Lin Jinxiu took out of the space, and Huai Yanqing had nothing to do, so she came to Lin Jinxiu's side.
"Shopkeeper, do you need help?"
Lin Jinxiu handed him the knife in his hand: "Help me cut the meat, just cut it into such a big one." β
She showed her skewered meat to Huai Yanqing.
"Simple." Huai Yanqing took a look at it and went under the knife.
