Chapter 9 They are all fellow villagers, as they should be
But she didn't expect the reality to be very cruel, after walking for less than half an hour, Lin Yao was so tired that she couldn't stand it, she felt some pain in the soles of her feet, her body was covered with sweat, the broken hair on her forehead was also soaked and stuck to her skin, and the sun above her head was still vicious, and it seemed to be laughing at her insignificance.
There was no way, Lin Yao could only find a big tree on the side of the road to rest temporarily, she took off her hat to cover her face and lay in the grass, she didn't care about what image was not good, she just hoped that no acquaintances would pass by now.
"Miss Lin?" Just as he was thinking about it, a male voice suddenly sounded in the distance.
Lin Yao instantly felt that her head was full of black lines, and her apricot eyes were filled with helplessness and despair, she really didn't want to do anything, so she lifted her hat helplessly, got up and looked, and found that it was Xiao Moyao.
He was driving a carriage loaded with jackals and pheasants, and his long, narrow eyes stared at her with a smile.
Lin Yao blushed instantly, really, it was really embarrassing for him to look at him in such an embarrassed appearance.
She quickly got up and straightened her clothes, trying to look as decent as possible.
"Ahem, big, Brother Xiao, what a coincidence, are you going to the town to sell prey?" I almost called Uncle Cheng again.
"yes, you're going to the town to sell stuff too?" Xiao Moyao tilted his head slightly and looked at the back basket behind Lin Yao and asked.
"yes, I made some drinks and wanted to try my luck in town." She replied with a slight dry smile.
"Oh, that's good, come on, I'll give you a ride." Xiao Moyao said as he turned over and got out of the car, lifted the back basket on Lin Yao's side and put it on the carriage.
The speed of the action made Lin Yao a little unresponsive for a while.
"What? Happy silly? Looking at Lin Yao's slightly stunned appearance, Xiao Moyao suddenly felt a lot better, and said in a slightly playful tone.
"Huh? Hehe, thank you so much Brother Xiao. Lin Yao, who was sitting in the carriage, happily ignored the man saying that she was stupid, and hurriedly followed the carriage, fortunately he passed by, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to go to the town today.
Since the back of the carriage was full of prey, Lin Yao had no choice but to sit next to Xiao Moyao.
"Brother Xiao, you are so good, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave the town." After sitting down, Lin Yao tilted her little head, looked at Xiao Moyao with a bright smile and said with a smile.
Looking at the girl's smiling little appearance, Xiao Moyao felt a little itchy in his heart, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "It's okay, didn't you say it, we are all fellow villagers, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”
A low and magnetic voice sounded in Lin Yao's ears, Lin Yao blushed instantly, and even used her words back and forth, and a rough man has nothing to do, why does he have such a good voice, really.
"Cough" Lin Yao coughed in disguise, and then his eyes involuntarily glanced left and right, aiming at the prey behind the car.
"Wow, Brother Xiao, you are so powerful, you have beaten so many prey, I saw you kill a big tiger when I treated you a few days ago."
Seeing this cart of prey clearly, Lin Yao's face couldn't hide his surprise and admiration, this prey was very fresh at a glance, it was just shot, and the husband of the Jin family next door was also a good hunter in the village, but at most, he caught a pheasant roe deer or something like that in a few days, and there was no one like him who had filled a cart at once.
Xiao Moyao's adoring eyes made Xiao Moyao very useful, he straightened his strong body, and said while waving his horsewhip, "It's okay, I was a soldier a few years ago, so there are some means of hunting." Saying that, Xiao Moyao glanced at Lin Yao's back basket again, "What kind of drink are you selling?" ”
This little girl always does things that he can't figure out, which makes him a little strange.
"Oh, this is something I don't mess with, I call it honey lemonade" Lin Yao said as she took out a can from the back basket, then opened it and handed it to him, "Brother Xiao to taste it?" I ask you to drink a can. ”
People have helped her a lot before and after, but she should still ask for a bottle of honey lemonade, and she can just look at the evaluation.
"Honey lemonade?" Hearing this, Xiao Moyao repeated the name with some interest, and then took it with one hand without refusing, and poured a few big mouthfuls on his head.
Lin Yao was stunned by her heroic posture, her honey lemonade didn't seem to be drunk like this, this rough man was too rough.
Xiao Moyao only thought that she was fascinated by her casual posture, and even drank a jar of honey lemonade in a few sips rudely.
After drinking it, he smashed his mouth, frowned slightly, and said, "It tastes good, it's quite cool, it's just a little sweet." ”
"Isn't it sweet, I think it's okay?" Lin Yao hurriedly asked.
"Oh, no, it's just that I don't like sweet things myself, and the water still tastes good." Xiao Moyao explained.
Hearing Xiao Moyao's explanation, Lin Yao was relieved.
"That's good, that's good." As she spoke, she found that she was also thirsty, so she took out a jar of water from the basket and opened it in small sips.
Seeing the girl's little appearance of squirming her little lips and drinking water slowly, Xiao Moyao's face turned slightly red, but fortunately, he couldn't see the thick beard, and after coughing in disguise, he concentrated on driving the carriage.
The carriage was fast, and the breeze blew, but it was half an hour before it reached the town.
Xiao Moyao drove the carriage around the downtown area, pointed to a place and said to Lin Yao, "There is a restaurant opposite here, most of the guests want to drink something to quench their thirst after eating, you should be able to sell drinks here quickly" After speaking, he added, "After selling things, you will wait for me here, I will go to do some things, it may be slow."
"Well, I see, Brother Xiao, thank you." Lin Yao hurriedly smiled at him gratefully.
I didn't expect this man to be so careful, it seems that my previous prejudice against him should have been that I misunderstood him.
"No problem." Saying that, Xiao Moyao waved a whip and drove the carriage away.
After Xiao Moyao left, Lin Yao took out the honey lemonade in the basket and put it on the ground one by one.
After setting it up, Lin Yao found that the people who came and went didn't notice her at all, most of everyone went to the vegetable stall next to her, and no one came to her at all.
"Little girl, what are you selling?" At this time, the lady who was buying tofu on the side suddenly came over and asked.
"Oh, auntie, I'm here to sell some drinks." Lin Yao replied politely with a smile.
"Drinks? Little girl, look at the mung bean water you bought diagonally opposite, it's all in a big bucket, and no one knows what you're selling in this bamboo tube! You have to shout so that someone will come. Hearing this, the eldest lady said to her with a smile.
After listening to the eldest mother's words, Lin Yao felt that it was right, although her drink was delicious, it was in vain if no one came to drink it.
"Well, I understand, thank you, auntie" Lin Yao smiled and thanked her, this lady is also a warm-hearted person.
"It's okay, my aunt just sees that you and my daughter are about the same age, and it's not easy to come out to sell things at a young age." The eldest lady pouted and said unconcernedly.
After the eldest lady left, Lin Yao had no choice but to start shouting, you must know that in her previous life, she was also a little gong, which made her shout in front of everyone It was indeed a little awkward, but after trying to shout a few times, she became proficient.
"Selling honey lemonade, don't miss it when you pass by, cool and sweet honey lemonade, come and take a look......"
Unexpectedly, after a while, a girl wearing a pink lily skirt came over with a maid, and it seemed that it was estimated that it was the daughter of a rich family.
"Hey, what kind of water is this honey sold?" The maid next to the girl stepped forward and pointed to the water, and asked Lin Yao with a proud face.
Lin Yao frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but still replied with a slight smile, "Ten cents a jar."
"Ten cents? This mung bean water is only a penny a bowl, what kind of water do you have to cost ten pennies, don't you want to think about money, you want crazy. Hearing the price, the maid was surprised and hurriedly mocked disdainfully, looking at Lin Yao's eyes with some disdain.
Hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Lin Yao's eyes, and then he explained expressionlessly, "This honey lemonade I made has honey, lemon and mint added to it, not to mention how it tastes, just one honey is worth this money, not to mention lemon and mint." ”
"You ......"
"Cui'er, that's enough." The maid obviously wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the girl behind her.
The girl stepped forward and looked at Lin Yao with a slight smile, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm a straightforward girl, I offended the girl, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”
"No problem." Stretch out her hand and don't hit the smiling person, no matter how arrogant the maid is, this girl looks pretty good.
"Miss, who knows if what she said is true, you see that she is dressed in tatters, if it is really delicious, how can she still dress so poorly." The maid behind him hurriedly pouted and retorted.
"Cui'er!" Hearing this, the girl hurriedly reprimanded her.
Lin Yao didn't say anything, but opened a jar of honey lemonade and poured some into the empty bamboo tube prepared in advance, handed it to the girl opposite and said, "Whether what I said is true or false, you can taste it first, and then it's not too late to decide."
Hearing this, the girl glanced at Lin Yao in a little surprise, and had some doubts in her heart This seems to be just a country girl, she really has a temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant, she didn't think much about it, she took a small sip of the bamboo tube and took a sip, and after a few sips, her eyes immediately lit up, "Well, it's delicious, sweet and sour, and it's cool." After speaking, he couldn't help but take a few sips, "There is indeed honey in this drink, and as for any lemon and mint, it should not be wrong, it is worth ten cents." ”
Then he smiled and said to Lin Yao, "Bring me four cans, I'll take them back and give them to my father and mother to taste, Cui'er, pay." ”
Cui'er, who was behind her, looked a little embarrassed, so she didn't say anything anymore, and obediently stepped forward and took out forty yuan and handed it to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao looked at the number and didn't count, took four cans of honey lemonade and handed it to the maid Cui'er.
After receiving the honey lemonade, the girl led the maid away.
