Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

The room where Mu Xi draws talismans was a small room specially built for Mu Xi to draw talismans and practice when the bridal chamber was expanded when Mu Xi got married. It is quite far from the front yard!

Mu Xi looked at the results of her talisman drawing and was extremely satisfied!

"As expected of me, I have completed one tenth of the village's Ghost Festival blessing task in just this afternoon!"

Mu Xi praised herself narcissistically, then raised her head proudly, ready to receive praise from her family!

"It smells so good! The fish cooked by mom is so delicious that your daughter is drooling!"

"Hey! Are you the only ones, mom and dad? Where's Huai Jing?"

Father Mu was a little surprised to see his daughter at home, and said happily.

"Girl, you are at home?

Smells good! Your mom cooked your favorite braised fish!

These fish are quite fat. My daughter is really lucky to have encountered such a thing?"

Mother Mu brought out a dish of delicious braised fish and continued with a smile.

"Huai Jing hasn't come back yet. Maybe he got stuck. Xiao Xi, you don't have to worry too much! Huai Jing is pretty good at martial arts. Calculating the time, it's time for him to get home!"

Mu Xi picked up the snacks on the table and ate them while replying, "I caught that fish when I passed by the river!"

"Dad, I was awesome today. I drew hundreds of talismans to ward off evil spirits. They will be useful during the Ghost Festival!"

"Look how proud you are! The riverside is not safe, so stay away from it!"

"Hundreds of exorcism talismans. My daughter is really diligent today. How many are the finished products?"

Mu Xi curled her lips and said without any shyness, "My daughter has always been very diligent. Hundreds of them are finished products. Isn't it amazing!"

"Amazing! My daughter is the best! Her ability in drawing talismans is almost as good as your father and me!"

Father Mu was delighted. He felt that the Mu family had a successor. Having such a talented daughter, he felt that he had done justice to his ancestors.

“Da! Da! Da!!!”

Xu Huaijing came in from the back door covered in blood!

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoxi, I encountered criminals in the back mountain today, so I assisted the soldiers who had been lying in ambush to capture them, so I came back a little late. Are you waiting for me? I haven't eaten yet."

Hearing this, Mu Xi stepped forward to check on Xu Huaijing with concern, "Are you injured?"

Xu Huaijing smiled and comforted him, "I'm fine. The blood on my body is from the wild boar I encountered later. I hid the wild boar. Dad and I will go up the mountain and carry it back when it gets dark!"

"Wild boar?"

"You also encountered wild boars?"

"How dare you do something so dangerous? Do you think you'll die if you fight a wild boar alone?"

Mu Xi's eyes widened and she scolded angrily!

"Wife, I was wrong. I promise that next time I see a wild boar, I will turn around and run away!

This time it was an accident. The wild boar was already injured, and I led it into a trap I had prepared in advance. There was no danger at all!"

Hearing this, Mu Xi looked at him suspiciously for a few times and sneered, "You really think I'm a three-year-old child. Even a dog wouldn't believe this!

I'll let you go this time since you've made a contribution today and aren't injured!

Otherwise, if I get promoted and get rich, my wife will die. I can't try to get rich and my husband will die!"

Xu Huaijing was frightened when he heard this. After all, from what he knew about his wife, this was really possible! He had just used the hidden property of the Xu family to coax his young wife. If he lost it, wouldn't he be rich?

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? It's so unlucky to talk about death or not!"

When Mu's mother brought out the dishes, she only heard the last sentence!

Father Mu came out to smooth things over, "You must be hungry, come and have dinner. After dinner, we still need to deal with wild boars tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi sat down with a smile and changed the subject to continue chatting about gossip!

Father Mu remembered that he met the village chief when he came back today, so he reminded him, "The educated youth will probably cause trouble again in the next two days, Xiaoxi and Huaijing, stay away from them!

Especially you, Huaijing. Zhou Zhiqing looked at you with a strange look in his eyes earlier!"
