Chapter 13: Later Life

"I'm going to pick up branches and come back, let's grill fish for later!" Lin Ximiao said with a smile.

As soon as they heard the grilled fish, the children were already drooling and ran away in response.

Lin Ximiao took a few boys into the water and found the location where she had just caught the fish.

Removing the stone from above, there was a nest of fish inside.

All of them are extraordinarily fat.

The children cheered, and they didn't care if the fish was fishy or not.

The girls over there also folded the bark, and the firewood collected by the younger children gathered into a small pile.

Lin Ximiao had a flint and steel hidden before exile, used the dry bark as an introduction, burned a few bark of water first, and put it there to cool. Then he took the boy to wash the fish in the water.

Killing fish and removing internal organs, all in one go, the eyes of the children around are full of worship.

Skewer the fish on wicker, set it up and grill it slowly.

Lin Ximiao took a few children to drink the boiled water first, and the fish was slowly cooked.

Although the skin is charred, the fish inside is soft and smooth.

In addition, I haven't eaten anything for so long, and I eat them all very sweetly.

The little fat man finished his own one and wiped his mouth: "Eldest sister, is there anything else?" I still want to eat. ”

His little eyes stared directly at the one in Lin Ximiao's hand.

"......" Lin Ximiao was embarrassed by him for a while.

The one in her hand that she was going to bring back to the old lady, although it was not a top matter, Xiangxiangzui was good.

[Figured it out, are you going to exterminate the clan? I remembered the sound of the system's sneering again.

[Shut up.] Can she die without cursing her for a day?

[It is a capital crime to light a fire without permission and be discovered, and no one can save you, even the official who let you out is also a capital crime. 】

It's rare that the system is lifeless, but the slow voice is mixed with endless mockery.

Lin Ximiao felt that her IQ was despised.

"Eldest sister, I, can't I stop eating?" The little fat man cried out all at once.

What's wrong with the eldest sister, why did she look at him motionless, could it be that his request was too much, and the eldest sister was angry?

He didn't just want to eat, he was so hungry.

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, the more the little fat man cried, and the children next to him also fell down one by one.

Lin Ximiao is in a hurry, this system, every time it appears, he doesn't pick a time.

"Don't cry, my sister is not angry." Lin Ximiao hugged the little fat man in her arms.

"Sister feels sorry for you, you used to be the treasure of the Lin family, and in the future, my sister will let you be the treasure of the Lin family. It's just that it's a little harder now, okay if we get through it together? ”

Lin Ximiao comforted.

The children slowly stopped crying, and they remembered their old lives.

Although I was always dissatisfied before, but since I was exiled, I feel that it was the life of a god.

But the eldest sister said that they can still live like that in the future, and they are still the treasures of the Lin family, they believe in the eldest sister!

Follow the eldest sister to have meat to eat!

"Eldest sister, I don't cry, I want to be a big baby."

Lin Xiyue wiped her red eyes and said loudly.

"Okay, we girls are big babies." Lin Ximiao smiled and wiped Lin Xiyue's head.

"In the future, when we get to the place of exile, my sister will get some land and take you to plant."

"Then you will be able to smell the aroma of wheat and know how what you are eating grows......"

"Eldest sister, what is the aroma of wheat? Is it tasty? The little fat man stopped crying for a moment, and he couldn't wait to start farming now.

The people around also looked at it, they knew what wheat was, but they didn't know what wheat looked like, and they didn't know what wheat fragrance was.

"I'll tell you as I go. Take turns to carry the water, count ten and change it, and if you change it, you can come to me and eat a bite of fish. Lin Ximiao shook the two remaining fish in her hand.

Anyway, you can't take it back to the old lady to eat, so it's better to let these children make up for it.

"Good!"

The children of the Lin family responded, and rushed to carry the water one by one, and whoever could be the first to reach ten would be able to take a big bite of the fish.

"Sister, tell us what life is like in the penal colony?" Lin Xuanhe had a lot of thoughts, and he was not in a hurry to carry the water, but urged Lin Ximiao.

Lin Ximiao said with a smile: "When we get to the penal colony, let's pick up wood and build a house by ourselves, and build whatever we want." Xiao Wu, I remember that you didn't want to raise chickens before, but your aunt wouldn't let you? This time, you can raise as much as you want. ”

The one called Xiao Wu was a shy girl, her face was slightly red with excitement, and she nodded fiercely, she liked those fluffy little animals, but it was a pity that the Ministry of Rites was in the capital, and every flower and grass was regulated, and it was impossible to raise her.

"When the time comes, let's plant the land in front of the house, what grows, you want to eat, push the door, reach out and drag it down to eat, and raise two big geese."

"Big goose...... The goose is a very big bird, it looks good, and it will chase your butt and bite! ”

“……”

Lin Ximiao looked forward to their future life all the way, hoping that these children could be happy in the bitterness and look forward to the future.

Laughter echoed all the way, and the grape pickers couldn't help but stretch their necks to look this way.

They were all exiled, and the reason why they didn't die was that they really didn't have the ability to commit suicide at the hands of these officials, but they couldn't laugh at all.

"Miss Lin, what are you talking about?" The Bai family, who was picking grapes, couldn't help but ask.

"The eldest sister told us that the goose has a row of teeth that will clatter and bite."

"Yes, yes, yes! The eldest sister also said that she planted delicious food under the window, and when she was hungry, she pushed open the window and dragged it down to eat! ”

Before Lin Ximiao could speak, those children had already begun to talk nonsense.

The adults didn't feel any more smiles on their faces, and they didn't seem to have so much fear for the days after the exile.

After all, in the capital, everyone wants to face the sea in spring, and now although the sea is a little farther away, there is finally some hope.

Lin Ximiao chuckled in her heart, and cautiously looked like a servant who was pretending to sleep under the tree.

She flipped through the code, and communication was not allowed on the way to exile.

She was outside to talk to the children about nothing, but if she was by the side of the servants, the servants could hear......

"Say what you want! Hurry up and get to work! ”

A voice rang out, but it wasn't the official under the tree, followed by the sound of whips.

A five-year-old and three-year-old servant came from a distance, and the whip in his hand crackled.

Those who were drawn didn't dare to shout in pain, gritted their teeth one by one, and shrank their heads to work.

"Eh, eh! Don't fight, don't fight. The official who had just been pretending to be asleep stood up instantly: "Don't you know that if there is one more wound on this prisoner's body, we will receive one less silver?" What about the brain! ”

The official sneered: "I think you were bought by this little girl, right?" ”
