Chapter 36: Hard to Mouth
Breakfast was as usual, no different from usual, but Lin Feng knew that this might be the last meal he had in this village.
Xiao Miao shouldn't have known that she was going to leave the village with Lin Feng soon, the old man didn't say anything, and Lin Feng didn't talk about it, parting is always sad.
After eating, the old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Xiao Miao, go down the mountain and call the people from the village,"
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Although this kind of thing doesn't happen often in this small village, it happens occasionally, and Xiao Miao doesn't suspect him.
"There's something important to say, go ahead. ”
Xiao Miao glanced at Lin Feng and motioned for him to go along.
"Lin Feng stays, I have something to tell you. ”
Although he didn't know what the old man had to explain to him, since the old man said so, Lin Feng still waved his hand to Xiao Miao, indicating that he couldn't go.
Xiao Miao went down the mountain to call someone, and the old man and Lin Feng were left at the dinner table, "Grandpa, is there something wrong?" Lin Feng asked.
"You put the table away, and when Xiao Miao comes back, you're going to take her away. ”
Lin Feng nodded yes, although it was earlier than expected, but he was mentally prepared, the old man was planning to hide from Xiao Miao first, after all, Xiao Miao's feelings for the village were far from being comparable to himself, and it was definitely not easy to leave the village with her suddenly, and it would inevitably give birth to other rights and wrongs, and it was the best way to hide from her and take her away first.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, the old man sat alone in the center of the hall and waited for everyone, Lin Feng went back to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.
I don't have any luggage, I have only two sets of clothes and clothes on my body, and they are all old man's clothes, and I have been relying on these two sets of clothes to change back and forth when I can't move when I am lying on the bed.
"Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar should also be brought," With the storage ring, it is much easier to bring luggage, and I am not afraid of cumbersomeness, I have to bring these for daily use, after all, I take Xiao Miao and there is no carriage to travel, and it will take a lot of time just to get out of this mountain.
Loaded everything that could be loaded, now, just send Xiao Miao's side, and can't tell Xiao Miao that this trip is going to travel far, see the old man's meaning is to let himself trick Xiao Miao to go hunting, then Xiao Miao will definitely not bring many things, and he has to rely on himself.
The things were almost ready, and Xiao Miao also brought people up the mountain from there, and the courtyard was lively all of a sudden.
"Grandpa, everyone is here. Xiao Miao said to the old man sitting in the middle of the hall.
Lin Feng looked over, there were about twenty people, and there were not many families in the village, this should be the person in charge of each family, Lin Feng also saw the second grandfather who Xiao Miao went to help see a doctor last time, sitting in a wheelchair, and this meeting also came with him, as well as Sun Jinlin, and the second uncle Xiao Miao who had only met once.
"Well, Xiao Miao, there's nothing for you here, you go find Lin Feng. ”
Although Xiao Miao was curious about what was going on with the people in the village gathering this time, the old man had explained everything, and it was this kind of occasion, so he went out sensibly.
Outside the door, Lin Feng was waiting for Xiao Miao, and when he saw Xiao Miao coming out, "Xiao Miao, let's go, I'll go into the mountain together!"
"Now?" Xiao Miao still thought about waiting for her grandfather to finish the meeting to see what was going on, she had never seen it a few times in her life.
"I'm not going to go today, I'm going to see what grandpa and they talk about again. With that, he put his ear to the door to hear what was being heard inside.
"Let's go," Lin Feng pulled Xiao Miao away, "You won't know when you come back from hunting later, it will be too late if you don't go." ”
"yes, let's go. ”
"Remember to take that fox with you, maybe you can find the spirit grass with luck this time. Lin Feng confessed, although he still had some doubts about the fox's motives, but as the old man said, his current ability may not be able to protect Xiao Miao, and with this fox in the worst situation, she can protect Xiao Miao.
With the fox and the basket on their backs, the two set off, Lin Feng also traveled lightly, everything was packed in the storage ring, it was quite easy, but there were still some doubts in his heart.
The old man let himself take Xiao Miao away like this, but where to go and what to do, Lin Feng has no clue, and more importantly, hiding Xiao Miao now is destined to not be able to hide it for long, at most until dusk tonight, when Xiao Miao wants to come back, he will have to have a showdown with her, and the wording must be thought out in advance.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng, who was absent-minded along the way, attracted Xiao Miao's attention.
"It's nothing, where are you going to hunt today?"
"Today we go west. Xiao Miao took the lead.
"Wait," Lin Feng stopped Xiao Miao, "Let's go to that place last time, there are a lot of prey in that place." ”
"Yes, but the herbs are almost all picked on that road. ”
"I want to go to the place you took me last time to play, anyway, there are so many herbs in stock, it's okay. "There are only so many people in the whole village, and there are not many medicinal herbs used, and they only entered the mountain once in a long time before, and then they went into the mountains with Lin Feng every day to hunt, and there are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs left.
Xiao Miao agreed to Lin Feng as soon as she totaled it.
Of course, Lin Feng wanted to go to the place last time not to have fun, there was no carriage to travel, the two of them wanted to get out of this mountain for a while, they must have a place to stay, there was a cave in the valley last time, which was just a place to stay.
Besides, there must be a showdown with Xiao Miao tonight, and it is not bad to give her a room for relaxation, Lin Feng knows that after tonight, this village will become an empty village, and when Xiao Miao comes back, it will be easy to persuade her to go to Loukong.
The two talked and laughed along the way, although Lin Feng was absent-minded, he also knew that his current task was to drag Xiao Miao, as long as the people in the village were about the same, he would be able to have a showdown with Xiao Miao.
Coming to the previous valley again, Lin Feng was not sloppy about hunting on the road, after all, this may be the next ration for the two of them, and it is impossible to stay in the mountains all the time, and the food on the road must be prepared earlier, although they don't know where to take Xiao Miao now.
"Look, isn't it beautiful?" Xiao Miao held a bouquet of flowers in front of Lin Feng, colorful, she had picked them on the grass just now, and showed off to Lin Feng with a proud face.
The bamboo basket containing the prey was placed aside, and a white fox was lying inside, and after feasting, he slept directly on the fur of the prey.
"Xiao Miao, let's go to the cave and have a look. ”
"Didn't you see it last time?" Despite saying this, Xiao Miao still kept up with Lin Feng's footsteps.
Step over the waterfall, the sound of the waterfall suddenly became dull, and the cave was still the same as before, with mossy green steps and smooth rock walls.
"What do you think it's like to live here?" Lin Feng planned to lead the topic here.
"Hmm...... It's all good, but the sound of the waterfall is too noisy to sleep. Xiao Miao took over, it seems that she must have thought about this question.
"I think it's pretty good, how nice the sounds of nature are, why don't we try it out here tonight?" Lin Feng asked tentatively, if he aroused Xiao Miao's playfulness, then he could delay until tomorrow and tell her about leaving the village.
"You don't have a fever, right?" Xiao Miao tested Lin Feng's forehead with her hand, "How do you have this idea, how good it is to live comfortably in the village, I am still waiting to go back and see what happened to Grandpa and their meeting today, if you really want to try, you will come back when you have the opportunity later." ”
"What's more, I won't live here with you!" Speaking of this, Xiao Miao blushed a little, after all, she is still a yellow flower girl.
"Uh," Lin Feng suddenly realized that Xiao Miao was going to be with him in the future, when the old man said before, he only noticed that he was leaving, and he didn't think about this stubble, but now he moved this thought, looking at Xiao Miao with some emotion.
"No, no, how could I have such a beastly thought," shake off the distractions in his heart, now his most important thing is responsibility, not those who have not.
"Yo, this is a good place!" the fox appeared as the two of them were thinking.
Although the fox also came to this valley last time, he has been sleeping, and I don't know how he thought about running out of the back basket this time.
"The aura is so strong," the fox exhaled with his eyes closed, feeling the aura in the air.
Lin Feng didn't feel anything about this, although he was a serious cultivator, but the real cultivation was only yesterday, and he naturally didn't feel anything about the concentration of spiritual energy.
"Xiaobai, why don't you sleep?" Xiao Miao asked curiously.
"We're afraid you've been deceived by this stinky man. The fox jumped into Xiao Miao's arms, and Xiao Miao skillfully took it, "How dare Hei Tan lie to me." Xiao Miao said confidently.
"Tell me, what bad intentions do you have?" the fox looked at Lin Feng playfully, as if he had seen through Lin Feng's thoughts.
Lin Feng was speechless, he didn't know how the dead fox could see it, he did have something to hide from Xiao Miao, but he didn't have bad intentions, he was still doubting the fox's motives for Xiao Miao before, but he didn't expect that he was suspected now.
Calculate the time, it's not too late to tell Xiao Miao, the people in the village are estimated to be ready to go, and maybe they will meet when they go back now, so to be on the safe side, let's be stubborn for a while.
"I don't have any bad intentions, don't talk nonsense. "Lin Feng rarely dared to be hard-mouthed with a fox.
"Hmph, our family will never be wrong, if you are not honest, you will have to suffer a little. ”
"Xiaobai, what's wrong?" she regarded the fox as a pet didn't mean that she didn't know how powerful the fox was, and she was afraid that Lin Feng would make a mistake, so she hurriedly asked.
"Don't you think it's unusual when you think about how he's behaved along the way?"
"Indeed," Xiao Miao thought about it carefully, Lin Feng's performance along the way was indeed very abnormal, in the past, he would go wherever he said, but today he wanted to come to this valley, and he was also absent-minded along the way, and he said to himself just now that he lived in a cave, which was completely different from last time.
Seeing that Xiao Miao was also suspicious, Lin Feng knew that he couldn't hide it for long, but now that he said it, Xiao Miao would definitely go back, and he couldn't stop him with a fox beside him, and if he went back now, there was a chance that he would run into everyone who was about to leave, and it would be even more troublesome.
"Actually, I have something to hide from you. ”
