Chapter 9 First meeting or reunion?
When the time comes, Ling Xier will go to the city with you. It will be normal for her to support her parents, but there is no rule that she must support her brothers.

That young man is the third child. If he really wants to support his brothers, he has two older brothers to support him!"

Moreover……

She just thought the conditions sounded good and wanted to ask around after she was done with her work and decide on the distance, but there was nothing to say about the horoscope!

Pei Jin, Pei Xuan, and Uncle Pei: "..."

I don’t really want to go!
But no matter how unhappy you are, this is the right thing to do.

They all knew that this was really for Lingxi's own good. Only families who loved their daughters would make plans for them early on.

They didn't refuse outright at this time.

裴瑄心里面舍不得，恨不得现在就能逮着想娶他妹妹的王八蛋揍一顿，没想到一转脸，就瞧见趴在窗户上，整个人都要探出来的的灵曦。

Their well-behaved sister just looked at them with great interest.

Pei Xuan: “…”

"You little heartless one!"

He was in a bad mood. He took three or two steps over and started rubbing her fluffy and soft hair with his wet hands that had just been washed.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

I'm so angry!
She puffed her cheeks and shook her head with a hum, trying to get rid of the hand.

Pei Xuan looked at her like this and slicked her hair back in amusement, but then he couldn't help but mess it up again.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Lingxi was really annoyed and slapped him away, glaring at him angrily.

Pei Xuan was not annoyed. Instead, he leaned forward with a smile and said, "I'll rub your hair for you."

Lingxi, who had a buzz cut head facing him, said: "..."

Ahhh, I’m even more angry!
Everyone who heard the noise and looked over: "..."

They just felt helpless.

However, because of this commotion, seeing Lingxi's lively reaction, they all felt relieved.

The next day, mid-afternoon.

Lingxi walked in the woods beside the stream. Because of the terrain, she could vaguely see the roofs of the houses in the mountains and forests. Peijia Village was surrounded by mountains, and there were more than 20 households, all built according to the terrain.

The gentle breeze in the woods dissipated the heat in the air, and people felt refreshed.

Originally at noon, when Pei Fuzhu urged her again and again, she had no choice but to walk slowly to the kitchen in the west wing...

Who would have thought that as soon as she walked out of her east wing, she was stopped by the old lady.

Then, it was naturally impossible to let her, a patient who had fainted the day before, go to deliver meals.

Pei Bok Joo's expression was very interesting at that time.

Lingxi almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, in the afternoon she could no longer sit still at home, and only after she acted coquettishly and made promises to her grandmother was she allowed to go out. However, she could only wander around the nearby woods and could not go into the mountains.

Even so, Lingxi was very satisfied.

The forests are lush and the water is beautiful. Occasionally you can come across a few clumps of berries, pick up a few wild duck eggs by the stream, and occasionally see a gray rabbit flash by in the grass.

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and took out the slingshot she was used to using from her memory.

However, before she could make any move, a pheasant with colorful feathers fluttered its wings and passed by her feet. She subconsciously kicked it, and the pheasant seemed to notice something and turned sharply. Bang——

The pheasant collided with the tree, making a dull sound.

Then, he fell limply at the root of the tree and didn't move.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

This... is quite a coincidence!
She silently picked up the dead pheasant and threw it into the storage pendant, then continued strolling in the woods.

The stream meandered down from the mountain. The water was clear and occasionally a few palm-sized fish could be seen in the water. Lingxi glanced at them several times, then turned around and left, picking a piece of land with lots of wild vegetables and started digging.

There are still a lot of wild vegetables at home, and there are also crops of vegetables in the vegetable garden, so there is no need for Lingxi to go out of her way to dig them.

But, isn't she trying to stock up on food?
It's hot now and it hasn't rained for several days, so mushrooms are hard to find. The only edible things in the forest are wild vegetables.

Lingxi was busy for half the afternoon, and added a pile of wild vegetables weighing about seven or eight kilograms, seven wild duck eggs, a basket of berries, a pheasant, and four sparrows to the storage pendant.

The sparrow was shot with a slingshot.

Pei Lingxi has a very good aim. Lingxi was a little unfamiliar with it at the beginning, but once she got used to it, she could hit the target nine out of ten times.

She glanced at the sky and estimated that it was about time, so she lowered her head to dig up a few of the freshest and tenderest wild vegetables that she had specially left at hand and threw them into the small backpack. There was only a layer of wild vegetables in the basket, no longer than the length of a finger, enough to stir-fry a plate.

Lingxi pushed aside the wild vegetables, covered the taken sparrow tightly, then picked up the small backpack and walked back with a bit of satisfaction in her clear, clean, watery eyes.

In the past few hours, the food stored in her storage pendant was enough for her to eat for three days.

I can also bring back a few sparrows for grandma and little Minghui to eat, which is great.

Gu Si was leaning against a rock to bask in the sun and recharge his energy. At this moment, he opened his eyes as if he sensed something. There was a calmness and silence in his eyes without a single ripple.

Gu Si has good eyesight.

Even across a turbulent river more than ten meters wide, he could still clearly see the delicate and beautiful profile of the passing girl.

She was wearing a plain floral short-sleeved dress with fluttering skirts. Her slender wrists were as white as jade, a little dazzling. The sunset glow surrounding her seemed to give her a fairy-like aura.

Gu Si stared at her for a long time, his hands silently covering his chest.

On his delicate and handsome face, his outstanding peach blossom eyes were moving, and the calmness in his eyes was covered by layer after layer of rippling waves, and a sense of confusion came over his heart.

He just watched the little girl's back as she walked further and further away, and his eyes became more and more burning without him noticing.

Lingxi's body stiffened. She had a creepy feeling as if she was being targeted by a beast and might be torn apart and eaten at any time. The instinct of the spirit race to seek profit and avoid harm made her run away.

Lingxi ran all the way to the village road and saw the villagers working in the fields on both sides.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lingxi seems to have a very impressive background, the Ling people, a race that is naturally inclined towards healing, are just weaklings in combat.

She had carefully calculated that with her current fighting ability, she could not beat anyone in the family except Minghui.

Now with so many people giving her courage, she finally stopped and turned around to look back.

Seeing this, Lingxi blushed.

On the other side of the river, more than a hundred meters away, a tall human was standing there, looking over from afar. The distance was too far to make out his face clearly.

There's a river between us!
And she was a human being, what was she afraid of just now?
Just as Lingxi was lost in thought, someone patted her shoulder.

The person who came was Pei Fuzhu.

Lingxi had been frightened before and hadn't fully recovered yet. Now she was frightened again. When she saw who it was, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
