The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 19 Entering the city in disguise

"Do some warm-up exercises with me and stretch your joints. We're going to go hiking today!"

"Great! I haven't been to the mountains yet!"

Lin An was very excited! In the past, whenever he saw his sister taking the children in the village to the mountains to hunt and barbecue, he could only watch.

Now that he is well again, he can finally go up the mountain!

Lin Xi looked at the excited little guy and said to himself: Boy, I hope you can still be so energetic in a while!

Half an hour later!

"Lin An, crawl faster! Are you a weakling?"

Lin Xi shouted to Lin An who was climbing up with difficulty using his hands and feet.

"Hu...Hu...Captain, I can't do it anymore. I really have no strength left!" Lin An panted heavily. He felt dizzy and was going to faint if he climbed down again!

"Don't give up easily! Challenge your limits! Who said yesterday that you can continue with any training? What? Are you just talking nonsense?"

"Ah!" Lin An's pride was aroused, his eyes widened, veins on his neck bulged, he growled, and used his last bit of strength to climb up!

"Good job! Come, you can rest after you climb here!" Lin Xi ran to ten meters in front of Lin An and shouted at him.

Finally, after exhausting all his strength, Lin An arrived at where Lin Xi was! He leaned on the big rock next to him, panting!

"An'er, come here, sister will massage your acupuncture points!"

After saying that, Lin Xi sat down next to Lin An, lifted one of his legs and placed it on his own leg, and gently massaged his acupoints.

Lin An was too tired to speak and just nodded in response.

He thought to himself, great! The gentle sister is back! The sister is switching between the two roles of sister and captain more and more naturally!

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a sharp pain in the place where Lin Xi was massaging him. He gritted his teeth and endured it. After the sharp pain, he felt a sense of comfort. He felt his legs instantly became much lighter!

After massaging his legs, Lin Xi pressed the acupoints on Lin An's arm again!

Lin An felt much lighter now, but he still had no strength!

"An'er, come and drink some water and eat some fish"

Lin Xi took out a handkerchief to wipe Lin An's hands, then handed him the water bag and the fish wrapped in a cloth.

Lin An hurriedly took it, first tilted his head back and drank the water in big gulps, then opened the drawer cloth and started to eat the fish voraciously!

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Lin Xi saw that his brother had a rosy complexion and looked full of energy, which made him more convinced of the effect of fish in strengthening the body and quickly restoring physical strength.

"Xiao An'er! Let's go down the mountain and have breakfast! Let's see if you can keep up with me!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he strode down the mountain at a very fast speed!

"Sister, I can definitely catch up with you. I feel full of strength now!" Lin An said, jogging to catch up!

He actually followed us all the way down the mountain without falling behind! Although he was still out of breath after reaching the bottom of the mountain, he felt much better than before.

"Xi'er, An'er, are you tired? Mother made meat porridge and egg pancakes. Come quickly, wash your hands and eat!" Cao said softly when she saw the brother and sister coming back from the mountain!

"Ah, it's delicious!" Lin An gulped down a big bowl of meat porridge, stuffed a piece of egg pancake into his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction!

"Mom, is there any more? I want to drink more!" Lin An smacked his lips and looked at Cao eagerly.

"Yes! Yes! Mommy will go scoop it for you!"

Seeing that her son had such a good appetite, Cao happily stood up and scooped meat porridge for her son!

Lin Xi was drinking porridge in big gulps and watching with a smile. His brother's appetite was getting better and better!

"Ah! I'm so full! It's so delicious!" Lin An said contentedly after drinking two large bowls of porridge and eating three egg pancakes.

"Xi'er, you should eat more too! Mother made you some meat patties, you can take them with you for lunch later!" Cao said with a smile as she picked up a piece of egg pancake for Lin Xi.

"Okay, thank you, mom! I'm full. I'll go pack up and get ready to go to the county town!"

"When your father left this morning, he told me to wait for him to come back after collecting the prey, and he would go with you!" Cao said hurriedly.

"No need! Mom, I'll go by myself. I'll disguise myself!" After saying that, Lin Xi turned around and went into the house to get ready.

"elder sister?"

"Xi'er?"

A quarter of an hour later, when Lin Xi came out, Cao and Lin An cried out in disbelief?

They were stunned when they saw the young man in front of them with a sad face, sallow complexion and patched clothes!

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Lin Xi spoke, but it was not the clear girl's voice in his memory, but a strange boy's voice!

Lin An was stunned for a long time!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Wow, sister, you are so awesome! I want to learn this skill too!"

"No problem! I will teach you everything I know in the future!" Lin Xi came to Lin An and tapped his little head.

Then he carried the bamboo basket and said to Cao, "Mom, I'm leaving. Don't worry about me! If the detoxification goes well, I'll be back in the afternoon!" After that, he turned around, walked out of the yard, and headed towards the county town.

Half an hour later, Lin Xi arrived at the city gate and saw only a few people queuing up with loads on their shoulders. Lin Xi then lined up behind the queue, paid a five-cent entrance fee, and entered the city.

The streets in the city are much quieter than when I came here last time. Many of the stalls in the vegetable market that were originally packed with people are now empty!

When passing by a grain and oil shop, Lin Xi saw the shop assistant chatting with an old farmer wearing tattered and patched clothes.

"Uncle, why did you buy so much whole grains today?"

"Alas, the money I earned from selling vegetables today is just enough to pay the city entrance fee. I'd better buy more and avoid going into the city in the future!" said the old farmer with a sigh.

Hearing this, the young man quietly approached the old farmer and whispered, "It's good that you buy more this time. I heard from the shopkeeper that there is unrest at the border, and the price of food is going to go up!"

"What! The price of food is going to increase?! Hey, look at how much I can buy with this money. I'll use it all to buy food." The old man tremblingly took out a purse from his arms, took out all the money and handed it to the waiter.

"Okay, let me calculate it for you..."

Lin Xi frowned and walked quickly towards the backyard of Huichun Hall. The voices of the two gradually became quieter until they could no longer be heard.

At the back door of Huichun Hall, Quanfu looked at the young man with a bamboo basket on his back and a sallow face, and asked doubtfully: "Little brother, do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine? Just go to the front hall clinic to find Doctor Zhou tomorrow. The doctor is busy today, so the clinic is closed for a day! If you are in a hurry, you can go to other clinics first!"

"Brother, I went up the mountain to pick some good herbs, and I want to see if you guys will take them?" the young man said with a smile.

"Then you come in first and wait in the yard. I'll call the shopkeeper to come and take a look!" Quanfu felt pity for him when he saw that he was wearing patched clothes and had a sallow face, so he moved aside to let him enter the yard.
