The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Lin Xi thought that both her sister and brother had suffered minor injuries, and if they didn’t eat the fish that had such a good healing effect, they would be a fool!

I still have to go to the mountains to work after dawn!

Lin An quickly took the bowl from his sister and sat by the door to eat! He could never get enough of this fish, it was so delicious, and every time he finished eating it, he felt so comfortable!

Lin Xi had just finished eating half a bowl of fish when An Er suddenly called out from outside, "Miss Lin, can you come out for a moment?"

She explained something to her brother, walked out of the room, and went out to the yard with An Er, where they talked in low voices.

Because there was a fire burning in the kang, the temperature in the room kept rising. Lin An felt too hot, so he opened the door, sat on the doorstep, stared at the fire in the kang, picked up the fish, and started eating it in big mouthfuls!

While eating, he felt something strange on his face, as if hot air was blowing towards the left side of his cheek!

He quickly turned his head and looked to the left!

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a big mouth pressed against his mouth. He was so scared that he didn't dare to move. He quietly moved his eyes upwards and looked carefully with the help of the dim oil lamp in the room. It turned out to be Xiaohong!

"Oh my god! Xiaohong, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Lin An heaved a long sigh, pushed Xiao Hong's big face away, jumped up, stroked his pounding heart, and scolded in a low voice.

Xiao Hong was quietly approaching Lin An's face, looking at the fish in his bowl with greedy eyes, but she didn't expect Lin An to suddenly turn his face, and accidentally kissed him on the mouth!

It felt its horse face getting hot!

Hearing Lin An scolding it, it rubbed its face against his little face, then raised one hoof, pointed at the bowl that Lin An had just put on the ground, and looked at him with longing.

"Xiaohong, do you want to eat fish?"

Xiaohong nodded impatiently, and rubbed Lin An to please him, but she was complaining in her heart: He just said he would give me fish today, but he secretly ate it here at night, and didn’t even think of sharing some with me, huh!

Lin An looked at Xiaohong who was staring at his bowl eagerly, thought for a moment, got up, went to the stable, got Xiaohong's water basin, and poured all the fish in his bowl into it!

Then he pushed the basin towards Xiao Hong, patted its head and said, "Xiao Hong, eat quickly! I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is any fish!"

After saying that, he stuffed the firewood into the kang hole, got up and went to the kitchen!

Xiaohong ate the fish happily with a smacking sound!

Outside the courtyard gate, An Er bowed to Lin Xi and said respectfully, "Miss Lin Xi, I have passed the letter to the master. There will be a reply in two days at most. In addition, the 50,000 kilograms of grain can be transported here tomorrow. Can we put all of it in the cave?"

"Okay, I got it. Transport all the food to the cave. Tomorrow the villagers will go up the mountain to pick Schisandra chinensis. The day after tomorrow, have your people quietly transport the food up the mountain to avoid being seen!"

Lin Xi thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Miss Lin, I will come and dry the Schisandra chinensis in the second half of the night. You and Xiao An'er can go to sleep!"

"No, go to sleep. Come with me to the mountain tomorrow to protect the safety of the villagers! To prevent dangers like today from happening again!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned and walked into the yard. As soon as he reached the door of the room, he saw Xiaohong licking her bowl. The fish in her bowl was gone, leaving only a row of fish bones!

"Xiao Hong!!!"

Lin Xi suddenly slapped Xiaohong's butt hard and shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Hong was startled, turned around and looked at Lin Xi and said in her heart: "Haha! That, Master, it was Xiao Aner who asked me to eat it, I didn't steal it!"

"Ah! Xiaohong, why did you eat my fish too? And you ate it from my bowl!"

As soon as Xiaohong finished her words, Lin An came running over and said to Xiaohong with dissatisfaction.

Xiao Hong rolled her eyes and said, "Xiao An'er, you came at the right time! I just said that you asked me to eat the master's fish, and you came to expose me!"

It rubbed Lin Xi's arm and then rubbed Lin An's arm to please him!

"Sister, it seems that Xiaohong really likes to eat this fish. Let's give it some more. I'll go wash your bowl and get you another one!"

Xiao Aner looked at Xiaohong who was acting cute and coquettish, and poured the fish in his hand into the basin for her!

Then he picked up Lin Xi's bowl and ran to the kitchen!

After a while, he came over with two bowls of fish. He gave one to his sister, then took one for himself, squatted beside Xiaohong and started eating in big mouthfuls.

While eating, he turned around to look at Xiaohong who was eating with delectable relish.

Lin Xi looked at them with amusement and sat aside to eat fish!

After eating the fish, Lin Xi spread some dry straw on the floor of the room, and took out two quilts. She spread the old one on the straw, and folded the new one into a quilt, and let Lin An lie down on it to rest. Lin An happily took off his coat, got into the quilt, and talked to his sister.

After eating the fish, Xiaohong lay on the hay next to Lin An!

After a while, Lin Xi heard two even breathing sounds. She turned her head and saw a man and a horse snuggling together, sleeping soundly!

She smiled and shook her head, then stood up and added some firewood to the kang!

After all the Schisandra chinensis were dried, he put them away, turned off the fire, sat down next to Lin An, closed his eyes and took a rest.

On the second day, Lin Xi's family got up early again, packed their belongings, took some dry food, and went up the mountain with the villagers to continue picking Schisandra chinensis!

Today, Lin Xi, Lin Dayong and An Er have been patrolling around the depression to ensure everyone's safety. Seeing this, the villagers can get back to work with peace of mind!

By mid-afternoon, all the Schisandra chinensis had been picked, and everyone went down the mountain in a lively manner, and returned home to continue lighting the fire and getting busy!

It was not until the late night when they had dried and stored all the Schisandra chinensis that they fell into a deep sleep in their clothes!

Soon, the sky began to turn pale!

The villagers had breakfast early and gathered at the rice field. They selected ten strong laborers, pushed a cart with sacks full of Schisandra chinensis tied to it, and followed Lin Xi into the city!

The remaining villagers accompanied them to the village entrance and did not leave until they could no longer be seen. Then they dispersed and turned back home!

When I got home, I climbed onto the kang and took a deep sleep to make up for my sleep!

These two days have been so tiring!

When Lin Xi and ten people walked to the city gate, they saw that there were already many people queuing up at the gate to enter the city!

They were busy pushing their carts and lined up at the back of the queue, when they heard discussions coming from the front.

"Hey, look, there really is no entrance fee!"

"That's true. Several people have gone in just now, but I didn't see the official collecting the money!"

"You just found out about this? I found out the day before yesterday. I'm going to take some vegetables from my home to the city to sell so I can get some food. If we don't have any food, we'll starve to death!"

"I was wondering why so many people came into the city today. It turns out that they no longer charge a toll. When I came here a few days ago, there were only a few people at the city gate! Do you think the county magistrate has changed his temper?"

"Who cares? As long as he doesn't charge us! I have to tell the people in our village when I go back today! Sell the eggs we saved and exchange them for some food. The wild vegetables in our village are almost gone. We are going to starve!"

"Well, it's okay as long as you don't starve to death. Those who go to serve in the military are miserable. They don't know if they can come back alive!"

"What a sin!"

When everyone heard the words "military service", they thought of their family members who were about to leave home for the battlefield. Their eyes reddened, they wiped their tears sadly and stopped talking.

Chen Fugui and his friends were very happy to hear that they no longer had to pay a city admission fee. They thought that after paying the money for their military service, they would bring their wives and children to the market, sell the eggs they had saved and the vegetables they grew, and buy some food to take back!

When they heard that some people were starting to starve and that they were serving in the military, they sighed secretly, saying that life was so difficult for ordinary people! Fortunately, Lin Xi led everyone to collect herbs, so that they could escape this disaster!
