Chapter 256: Cao's Mother and Daughter Go to the City for Shopping
Lin Xi walked up to Cao and smiled at her, "Mom, don't be polite to everyone. Uncle Fugui is right. We should go to the county to buy some food so that we can make lunch for everyone. Our food has been destroyed by that damn wolf. We can't let everyone go home with empty stomachs after working hard!"
After that, he shouted to the villagers: "Everyone has worked hard. My mother and I will go to the county to buy some food and make delicious food for everyone at noon. I guarantee that you will eat delicious food!"
When Cao heard her daughter's words, she reacted instantly. Yes, all the food in her house was gone. Although there was some in the boundary beads, it was not easy to take it out openly. She had to hurry to the county town.
After thinking about it, he grabbed Lin Xi and was about to leave.
Seeing Cao's anxious look, Lin Xi grabbed her and helped her carefully walk out of the ruins. She smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll call Xiaohong over. With her, we can get to the city quickly and won't be late for lunch."
When Cao heard Lin Xi's words, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood beside Lin Xi, waiting for her to call Xiaobai.
Lin Xi put his hand to his mouth and blew a loud whistle. In just a moment, four divine beasts flew over from the distant sky.
This scene made everyone look excited and admiring!
Everyone's knees felt weak and they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the four little ones.
Daya held the village chief who was about to kneel down and said with a smile: "Uncle village chief, there is no need to do this. Lin Xi said that we should just treat Xiaobai and Xiaohong as ordinary animals. We should treat them the same way as before, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable."
Yuanyuan also quickly conveyed Lin Xi's intention to the villagers.
Everyone then stood up straight and continued to work.
Xiaobai and the other two came to Lin Xi and bowed respectfully, "Meet the Master. What do you want me to do for you?"
"Xiaohong, take me and my mother to the county town. Xiaobai, Xiaogui, and Xiaoque, when you have finished inspecting the forest, help the villagers with their work!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he helped Cao onto Xiao Hong's horseback. Just as he was about to get on, Xiao Gui said, "Master, it will be too crowded if both of you sit on Xiao Hong's back. Why don't you let Xiao Hong carry the master's mother and I will carry the master!"
After hearing what the little turtle said, an astonishing picture emerged in Lin Xi's mind: a huge turtle carrying a girl in red flying quickly in the air!
It would be disastrous if outsiders saw this scene. Would she be able to live her peaceful life?
After thinking about it, she shook her head at Little Turtle and said, "Thank you, Little Turtle, but you can't let anyone know that you are unusual yet. You should wait for me at home. Xiaohong can take us into the city."
"Master, I can pretend to be an ordinary turtle and crawl on the ground! Even if I carry you, I can still crawl very fast!"
The little turtle raised its head and looked at Lin Xi expectantly and said that it also wanted to go into the city with its owner.
Before Lin Xi could say anything, the little bird suddenly landed on the turtle's back, hit it with its wings, and said, "You stupid turtle, the master doesn't want to attract attention. Just think about it, if the master rides a turtle into the city, wouldn't the people in the city stare at the master! How can the master keep a low profile?"
"Oh, I see. From now on, I can drive my master around in Linshan Village!"
The little turtle shrank his neck and said embarrassedly.
"Little Turtle, can you please use your brain? In a place as small as Linshan Village, why would the master need a mount?"
Xiaobai, who was standing next to the little turtle, rolled his eyes to the sky and complained.
"Master, is the little turtle stupid?"
Seeing the little turtle lowering its head in disappointment and shedding two strings of tears, Lin Xi felt distressed instantly. He squatted down, touched its head and comforted it: "Little turtle is not stupid, didn't you teach me a lot of things?"
Xiao Hong couldn't stand the little turtle's hypocritical appearance, so she snorted and said unceremoniously: "Master, you don't have to coax it, it's just pretending. It used to use this trick to compete for our favor. I learned how to act like a spoiled child from it!"
"Yes, Master. This little turtle is very treacherous. Don't be fooled by its honest appearance!"
The little bird spit out a string of sparks, glanced at the little turtle, and complained.
Xiaobai also echoed and said that Xiaogui was the best at pretending to be pitiful, and could be compared to the white lotus in the prosperous age that Lin Xi mentioned.
This caused the little turtle to protest repeatedly, saying that Xiaobai and the other two were bullying it. It chased after Xiaobai and Xiaoque, and the three little guys started fighting with each other.
Seeing the three little guys acting like children, Lin Xi shook his head and laughed, then he jumped on the horse and sat behind Cao. After saying goodbye to everyone, he quickly rushed towards the county town.
The villagers looked at the three mythical beasts having fun in the sky and felt very close to them. They thought they were so cute and no longer felt that they were high and mighty.
After looking at them with a smile for a while, everyone got back to work.
After a while, the village chief's wife brought the women in the village to bring water to everyone.
Thinking that all the food in Lin Xi's home was destroyed, they brought grain, various vegetables, oil, salt and other items from home.
After putting these things down, he went back to move the big iron pot, shovel, bowls and chopsticks.
Fortunately, the shed where the children made pills was not destroyed by the wolf, so they could still use the stove inside to cook at noon.
Xiaohong drove Lin Xi and Cao into the county town quickly. The mother and daughter went to the horse market first, wanting to buy a new carriage so that they could load their things later.
"Boss, do you have a ready-made carriage that would be just right for my horse?"
Lin Xi jumped off the horse, helped Cao get off the horse carefully, and then asked the owner of the horse market with a smile.
"Little girl, there are ready-made carriages. You can follow me to the yard next door to take a look and choose one!"
After seeing Cao and Lin Xi nod, he enthusiastically led the way. The three people and the horse entered the yard. The boss said with a smile: "I will first check the size of the horse, and then choose a carriage for you."
After the boss finished speaking, he strode up to Xiaohong who was following Lin Xi.
After he saw Xiaohong's appearance clearly, he said to Lin Xi cheerfully, "Little girl, your servant bought this horse from me. How is it? Is it comfortable to ride?"
This boss has been doing business for many years. As soon as Lin Xi opened her mouth just now, he knew that she was the one who made the decisions, so he started talking to Lin Xi directly.
