Chapter 186: Want to help Qin
The poor left-behind Yiyi and Bailu have been huddling together for warmth and comforting each other these two days, occasionally complaining about their unscrupulous elder sister. Fortunately, their husbands always bring them with them even when they are busy, because they are really afraid that they will rebel and run away from home secretly.
Today, just like yesterday, they gathered in Xiaoyao Garden to discuss things. Ling Wuxin and Yexiao gathered in the study, and Yiyi and Bailu also had new targets for their entertainment. The six little rabbits could walk on the ground. They were covered with soft fur, three pure white, and three white with gray spots. They could hop around in small steps, so soft and cute that they touched people's hearts. In such a big yard, there were only two big rabbits and six little rabbits, and they could hop around as they pleased.
"Second sister, do you think Rabbit will run away from home?" Yiyi suddenly asked Bailu.
"Not now, their cub can't run, isn't it too dangerous to go out now?" Bai Lu replied, and suddenly felt very much like herself now, carrying a cub, unable to go anywhere, and couldn't help feeling sad...
"Oh, second sister, I didn't believe you before when you said you couldn't see rabbits. Now I really believe it. Look at how sentimental you are..." Yiyi couldn't help feeling a little panicked when she saw tears in her eyes.
"Tsk, nonsense, I can't bear to see the rabbits, I just want to cry because I remember that my elder sister left us and ran away, and we can't go anywhere." Bai Lu said stubbornly, not admitting that she has become sentimental. It's not like this every day, but she is prone to tears when she encounters something that touches her heart. Of course, it's also because her heart has become soft and it's easy to be touched.
"Hey, next time it's our turn to go out and have fun, let's bring the baby along. Don't worry, I'm in sync with you and we'll definitely go out together!" Yiyi comforted her and also comforted herself.
As they chatted and encouraged each other, An Yi brought a letter to Ling Wuxin and Ye Xiao in the study. It turned out that the materials and food for Qin were ready. The food donated by the people took up ten wagons, Xiao Jiu mobilized various types of food in the granary, which took up thirty wagons, and bedding took up twenty wagons, a total of sixty wagons. The letter said that the materials had been concentrated in the Beiying warehouse and they could set off on a certain day.
"Brother, let's choose a day to set off? Which day?" asked Ye Xiao.
"Tomorrow, there is no need to waste any more time and we must make a quick decision. How is the situation of the fence-sitters on your side recently? Can you control them?" Ling Wuxin asked.
"It can be controlled. They have spent some money recently, but it's only ten carriages, which is really stingy. I wonder how exciting it will be when I write the amount of their donation truthfully in the government report!" Ye Xiao smiled.
"That's good. Send it out with great fanfare tomorrow! Let them watch. The North Camp will send three groups of centurions to lead escorts as a training exercise. I will write a personal letter to the captain of the North Camp to give instructions." Ling Wuxin made the decision directly.
"Should we arrange for someone among our brothers to go with them? We can also arrange for the red, black and yellow groups to follow secretly," said Night Owl.
"The groups of people won't move for now. Just release the secret message and let them secretly respond. As for arranging people to follow, that's not for now..." Ling Wuxin hesitated. He didn't plan to send anyone out. There were already five or six men at home running around, and there was no one else to send.
Just when they were worried that no one was available, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba rode fast horses, carrying small bags and returned to the hot spring valley. After a little preparation, they took half of the ugly apples and headed straight for Xiaoyao Garden under the guidance of the secret guard. Xiao Qi was the first to see Yi Yi and Bai Lu playing with rabbits in the front yard. He was very happy to tell them about the encounter with Lao Si and Lao Wu's family in Qingcheng Mountain and Yanan's request for them to bring back apples.
"Oh, so they went to the temple to burn incense!" Yiyi exclaimed.
"She still has some conscience and knows how to bring us something." Bai Lu felt relieved. She immediately took out a fruit basket, filled it with a dozen fruits and took it to wash.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, thank you, you have worked hard!" Yiyi thanked them.
"It's not hard, it's just like going out for fun! Let's go talk to big brother first!" Xiaoqi and Xiaoba looked at each other, smiled and waved their hands.
"Okay! Go ahead, they have been in the study for half a day!" Yiyi smiled and pointed to the study.
"Hey, wait, bring this plate of fruit in so they can have a taste." Bai Lu called them and handed over a plate of washed apples.
Don't say that this fruit is ugly, but it is really sweet, with a strong apple flavor, and very delicious. Bailu washed the apple and took a bite to try it. It doesn't look good, but it tastes good. I should prepare more for the festival. "Yiyi, try one quickly, it's delicious, big sister has good taste."
"Really? I think it should be pretty good. Green, pollution-free, and naturally ripe, these are the biggest advantages of the fruits here!" Yiyi picked up one to observe. The fruit was a little smaller, and the skin was a little peeled. When she got closer, she could smell the rich fruity fragrance. If it can be cultivated, it would be great to have a few large orchards. With the extra apples, we can make apple cider vinegar! No more thinking, crunch, crunch, eat it first!
"It tastes good, right? Big sister finally did one thing right. If she still thinks of me often when she is out there, I will consider forgiving her!" Bai Lu said.
"Hahaha! She will say thank you, it's not necessary..." Yiyi laughed happily. It felt great to have a sister to spend the pregnancy together. It was great to support each other and not feel alone!
In the study, the return of Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba made Ling Wu Xin and Ye Xiao, who stayed at home, feel relieved. It was really good to have someone to share the burden with. When they learned that they would arrange to rush to Qin to help tomorrow, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba volunteered to ensure that they could get the job done.
Seeing Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba vying to be the bricks to be moved wherever they were needed, Ling Wuxin and Ye Xiao's hearts sank again after they had just breathed a sigh of relief. "Have you two ever thought that if you go out again, you may not be able to make it home for the New Year. Besides, you see, there are only me and Lao San at home now, and we really can't leave at all. So I don't plan to arrange for you to go with me." Ling Wuxin said what was in his heart.
“Then… let’s complete the departure ceremony tomorrow, and then follow the team for three days. We will return after three days. This way we will still have time to worship the Kitchen God. Along the way we can also get to know the people along the way…” Xiao Ba was quick-witted and quickly came up with a new plan.
"Yes, I agree with Xiaoba!" Xiaoqi quickly expressed his opinion.
"You two, have you gone out so often that your hearts have gone wild? You simply don't want to stay at home for a moment!" Night Owl pointed at this and that, pretending to be angry.
"Hehe...going out to do things is indeed more interesting than staying at home. We can just treat it as an experience! Big brother, third brother, just agree with it!" Xiao Qi even used the tactic of begging.
"Okay, okay, you're not a child anymore. I understand that you want to go out on your own, but there is one thing: you must pay attention to safety. Don't act recklessly. Think about what is the most appropriate thing to do first. If there is a crisis, contact the dark forces for help!" Ling Wuxin was rarely patient enough to give advice. After all, they had been by his side since he was a child, so he more or less understood their thoughts.
"Yes! Big brother!" Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were delighted when they got the agreement!
Ling Wuxin lowered his head to find paper and pen to write a letter. "I will write a letter and take it to the captain tomorrow to arrange..."
"I've also finished writing the government report! We have to trick those fence-sitters and make others think they are on the same side as us..." said Ye Xiao.
“……”When it comes to cheating people, it has to be the third brother!
