The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 415: Discussion on Eliminating the Bandits' Lair

Lin Xi walked down the mountain leisurely with a comfortable look on his face. On the way, he met several men who were carrying prey down the mountain.

"Lin Xi girl, you're on the mountain so early?"

"Lin Xi, why don't you get some more sleep? You've been working hard outside for a while!"

"Yes, Lin Xi girl, you should take a rest these few days. If you have anything to do, tell your uncles and we will do it!"

Several men were surprised to see Lin Xi coming out of the forest. They looked at Lin Xi and spoke enthusiastically.

"Thank you, uncles. Don't worry, I've had a good rest and I'm in good spirits. I just missed this forest a little bit, so I came up here to take a walk and have a look!"

Lin Xi looked at the villagers who had simple smiles on their faces and smiled brightly.

"Girl Lin Xi has been outside for a few days and must be homesick!"

Chen Fugui looked at Lin Xi and said with a smile.

"Yes, being away from home is not as comfortable as being at home. Our Linshan Village is still the best! The villagers are united and friendly. There are no messy things and intrigues. Life is getting better and better!"

Lin Xi was talking as he walked, swinging a branch in his hand.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, several men nodded in agreement and began to praise Lin Xi for helping them make money. Now everyone’s life is so good!

The group went down the mountain talking and laughing.

"Lin Xi girl, we are going back now. Come to my house for dinner when you are free!"

"Lin Xi, don't you like eating the small fish fried by your aunt? I'll go get some small fish today and ask your aunt to cook it and bring it to you!"

"My wife pickled some spicy cabbage. I'll ask Goudan to bring some to you later!"

......

Several men thought about what Lin Xi liked to eat. Some invited Lin Xi to their homes for dinner, while others asked their family members to bring food to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi happily responded one by one and accepted all the kindness of the villagers. Several men waved to Lin Xi and strode towards their own yards with the prey.

Lin Xi did not go home immediately. She looked up and saw that it was still early. She closed her eyes and took a few breaths of the air which felt particularly fresh, then started to practice boxing in the open space in front of the yard!

"Sister, we are back!"

Lin Xi had just finished a set of punches when he heard Lin An's voice coming from a distance.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Kang, Lin Ping and Lin An flying towards her quickly!

"Sister, let's deal with that Sun Ergou!"

Lin Ping landed in front of Lin Xi, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Okay, I get it. Let's go home and eat. I can smell the meat patties that Mom made!"

Lin Xi did not ask them how they dealt with Sun Ergou. Through this period of experience, Lin Ping and Lin An's ability to handle things has become much stronger, and they have considered things more and more comprehensively. She is very confident in them, and with Lin Kang following them, she has nothing to worry about!

Lin Ping and Lin An obediently let Lin Xi lead them into the yard. Lin Kang followed behind them. Looking at his younger brothers and sisters walking in front, his eyes were full of doting.

"Xi'er, you guys are back. I was just about to ask Xiaohong to call you guys for dinner!"

Cao was carrying porridge to the table outside the kitchen. She looked up and saw a few children coming in. She smiled at them gently.

After saying that, he didn't see Zhao Junle, so he asked Lin Xi again: "Xi'er, where is your aunt? Isn't she with you?"

"She said this morning that she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep a little longer. I'll go wake her up!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he flashed and flew towards Zhao Junle's bedroom.

Just as I arrived at the door of Zhao Junle's room, I happened to meet Zhao Junle pushing the door open.

"Aunt, mother is calling us to have breakfast, let's go!"

"I want to see what delicious food my cousin has made. Lin Xi, your food is much better than mine!"

When Zhao Junle heard that Cao had already prepared breakfast, his eyes lit up, he stopped stretching, and pulled Lin Xi towards the kitchen.

"My cousin's family has all kinds of delicacies, how can they not taste as good as our simple meals?"

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Junle who had a greedy look on his face, shook his head and smiled.

"Oh! I don't know how to put it, it feels different, but I just think your food is delicious!"

Zhao Junle didn't know how to express his inner feelings. After saying this, he stopped talking and quickly pulled Lin Xi to the table outside the kitchen.

"Cousin, what delicious food did you make?"

Zhao Junle let go of Lin Xi's hand, looked at the food on the table with shining eyes and asked.

"I didn't do anything. I just made a few meat patties, boiled some rice porridge, and prepared some pickled vegetables. Hurry up and wash your hands and sit down to eat!"

Cao looked at Zhao Junle and said gently.

"Sister, aunt, come here and wash your hands!"

Lin An, who was squatting by the well washing up, waved at Zhao Junle and Lin Xi, calling them over.

Lin Ping and Lin Kang quickly prepared warm water and towels for them.

Lin Xi and Zhao Junle walked over with a smile, washed their hands, and then sat around the table together.

"Cousin, where's my brother-in-law? Shouldn't we wait for him to have breakfast?"

Zhao Junle saw that Lin Dayong did not come to eat and everyone did not intend to wait for him, so he asked in surprise.

"Your brother-in-law has gone to the mountains to collect prey. He said he would first go hunting in the forest and then collect prey from the traps. He didn't know when he would be back, so we don't have to wait for him. I prepared some food for him, so we can just eat it first!"

Cao handed a meat pie to Zhao Junle and explained in a gentle voice.

Zhao Junle nodded in understanding. When she heard about hunting, her heart was burning. She looked at Lin Xi eagerly and asked, "Lin Xi, when are we going to go hunting? I heard from Yuanyuan that you often hunt prey and grill it in the house on the mountain!"

During the time that Zhao Junle stayed in the military camp, she often went hunting in the woods when she was on missions outside, but she did so only to fill her stomach, and she did not have the free and easy feeling that Xiao Yuanyuan and the others described.

She has long been yearning for the lives of the little kids in Linshan Village!

"Once we've destroyed the bandits' lair, we'll go hunting together. But aunt, your arm is so weak that you'll have to wait for us to do the job. Then you can just wait to eat the barbecue!"

Lin Xi swallowed the meat pie in his mouth, took a sip of porridge, and pointed at Zhao Junle's injured arm and said.

Zhao Junle regretted it again after hearing that. Why did she act so impulsively and get hurt on purpose?

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Junle's regretful expression and chuckled. Let's see if she dares to do such a stupid thing on purpose in the future!

"Okay, eat while it's hot!"

Seeing that Zhao Junle was busy talking and hadn't touched the cake in her hand, Cao patted her hand gently and said.

Zhao Junle put aside the matter of hunting and started to eat the cakes in big mouthfuls, taking a bite of the meat cake and then a bite of the spicy cabbage. He kept nodding and saying that it was delicious, and gave Cao a thumbs up.

The family had breakfast in a lively atmosphere.

"Mom, we're going to the rice field. We agreed with the team members yesterday that we'll discuss how to deal with the bandits today! Xiaohong, the four of you help my mother clean up!"

After finishing breakfast, Lin Xi stood up and said to Cao and the four beasts.

"Mom knows, you guys go quickly, this little housework won't tire me out!"

Cao smiled and nodded at Lin Xi and the others, then carried the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

The four little ones were very observant and helped to clean the table and sweep the yard, while the four Lin Xi sisters and Zhao Junle walked towards the rice field in the village.

"Sister Lin Xi! Brother Lin Kang!"

"Boss!"

"Xiao An'er! Lin Ping!"

"Miss Zhao!"

The kids from Linshan Village had already gathered at the rice field. When they saw Lin Xi and his companions coming over, they waved and greeted them enthusiastically.

Lin Xi walked to the front of the rice field, jumped onto a stone, stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the children instantly quieted down.

"I have already tortured the bandit to find out the hiding place of the bandits in the nearby mountains. They actually dared to come and target our Linshan Village. If it weren't for the alertness of Chen Yan and Goudan, who knows what would have happened! I decided to wipe them out completely today. Those who are willing to participate in this operation stand on the right, and those who are not willing to participate stand on the left!"

After the crowd quieted down, Lin Xi's voice rang out clearly above the rice field!

As soon as she finished speaking, the kids rushed to the right, especially Chen Yan and Goudan, who ran very fast. They were not able to follow the boss out last time, so this time they must follow her to attack the bandits!

After listening to the wonderful experiences that the boss and his friends had outside yesterday, they were almost dying of envy. The temperaments of the friends who had gone out with the boss were obviously different from theirs, and they had a more sharp spirit!

They can't fall behind too much!

Seeing that her friends had no fear on their faces and their eyes were full of determination, Lin Xi raised the corner of her mouth slightly. At this moment, she felt a great sense of accomplishment, as if her young child had suddenly grown up.

When Lin Xi saw Zhao Junle standing next to Chen Youfu and whispering to him, he frowned slightly, coughed and said, "Aunt, your arm is injured. You don't need to participate in this operation. Otherwise, we will all worry about you if you go!"

Chen Youfu was just trying to persuade Zhao Junle not to follow them to attack the bandits when he heard Lin Xi's words. He nodded vigorously and whispered to Zhao Junle, "Miss Zhao, the boss is right. You should just stay in Linshan Village and wait for us to come back. We don't need you! It would be bad if you get more seriously injured because of this action!"

Zhao Junle looked at Chen Youfu who was looking at her with a worried look on his face, then looked up at Lin Xi who was very determined, shrugged her shoulders, and said very straightforwardly: "Okay, then I won't go this time. You guys have to be careful. The bandits are insidious and cunning. They are more familiar with the environment of that mountain range than you are. I suggest you don't act rashly and find out the situation in the mountain first!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that what Zhao Junle said made a lot of sense, and they all looked up at Lin Xi, wanting to see how she was going to arrange it.

Lin Xi smiled at the kids and said loudly, "I will tell the captains of each team where the bandits' dens are located. You can discuss them in your teams and bring forward any good ideas. You should put what you learned in daily training into practice. Let's treat this operation as a test and give full play to your intelligence and talents!"

After saying that, she jumped down from the rock, called several captains to her front, and on a flash of thought, she took out several maps that Xiaobai had copied from the boundary bead and gave one to each captain.

"The places I circled above are where the bandits are hiding. But according to that bandit, they won't stay in one place for a long time. We are not sure where they will hide. Go discuss a plan with your team members!"

Lin Xi looked at captains Chen Youfu, Daya, Chen Qing, Chen Yan, Yuanyuan, Lin An and others, and said with a smile.

"Yes, boss!"

Several people agreed loudly, and each of them walked towards their team members with a map.

"Brother, as the captain, you are in overall charge of this operation!"

After Youfu and the others left, Lin Xi walked up to Lin Kang and said.

"Xi'er, what about you?"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Kang looked at Lin Xi with some confusion and asked.

He was a little uncomfortable with it, because in the past, Lin Xi had always led everyone. She was like a stabilizing force. As long as she was there, no one would panic, and everything they did would be organized and confident.

"I'll go with you, but I won't offer any opinions this time. This operation is entirely up to you. Just treat me as a thug and I'll follow your instructions!"

Lin Xi leaned against the tree trunk, biting a leaf in his mouth, and spoke leisurely.

"Xi'er, why did you suddenly make such arrangements?"

Lin Kang scratched his head, unable to understand why Lin Xi did this.

"Brother, we are all independent individuals. I don't want them to develop the habit of relying too much on anyone. Although we don't want to separate, no one can predict the future. No matter what happens, I hope they have the ability to handle things independently! If they encounter problems in the future, I will let everyone take turns to handle them and exercise their personal abilities!"

Lin Xi sat down against a big rock, put his hands behind his head, looked up at the blue sky, and spoke slowly.

The sky is vast and boundless, and she doesn't want to be the string that holds her friends back, so she lets everyone fly freely. Before they fly far away, she will teach everyone everything she can.

Lin Kang looked at Lin Xi and was silent for a long time. Why did he feel a sense of loneliness from his sister at this moment, as if everyone was going to leave her.

He squatted down, gently touched Lin Xi's head, looked into her eyes and said, "Xi'er, I understand what you mean. This time you just need to follow everyone's actions and don't worry about anything!"

After Lin Kang finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the kids. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Lin Xi, and said firmly: "Xi'er, big brother will always be with you!"

Lin Xi looked up at Lin Kang who was standing in the sun looking at her. His eyes were firm and gentle. The feeling of loneliness that suddenly arose in her heart was suddenly swept away. A smile appeared on her face and she nodded vigorously at Lin Kang.

Seeing that Lin Xi had returned to his usual appearance, Lin Kang grinned. That smile was so warm that it remained imprinted deep in Lin Xi's heart.
