The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 427: Warmly Receiving the Bai Clan Members

A smile appeared on Chen Yan's little face. He nodded at Lin Xi, then lay down beside Ermaizi with his clothes on.

Before, even if Xiao An'er was with him watching over Er Mazi, he didn't dare to rest, for fear that something emergency might happen to Er Mazi. Now that Lin Xi is back, he can suddenly rest with peace of mind, because he knows that as long as Lin Xi is there, Er Mazi will not be in any danger.

Lin Xi smiled and touched Chen Yan's head, then turned and left the tent.

When she came out, she saw her eldest brother Lin Kang and his team members enthusiastically chatting and laughing with the people of the Bai family.

Lin Xi raised his foot and walked towards them.

"Youfu, take some people to hunt some prey, and we'll treat Grandpa Bai and the others well tonight!"

"Daya, you and Yuanyuan take people to prepare firewood and other things!"

"Chen Qing, Lin Ping, take some people to set up some tents for Grandpa Bai and the others so they can have a good rest at night!"

When Lin Xi walked up to Lin Kang, he heard him arranging tasks for his friends. The kids were happily busy.

"Xiao An'er, go to Er Mazi's place. I'll call you out for dinner later. Make sure to clean up the dust on your body before you go in!"

Lin Xi patted Lin An who was standing next to Lin Kang and said with a smile.

"Okay sister, I'll go now!"

Lin An stuck out his tongue at Lin Xi and trotted towards Er Mazi's tent.

"Xi'er, you've been busy all day, you must be tired. Sit here with Grandpa Bai and the others and take a rest. We'll go prepare dinner!"

Lin Kang turned to look at Lin Xi, took out a mat and put it on the ground, pulled Lin Xi to sit down, and smiled at her.

"Okay, big brother, go get busy!"

Lin Xi did not reject Lin Kang's concern. She sat down with a smile and blinked at him.

When Lin Kang saw Lin Xi's relaxed look, he knew that the danger had been lifted. He didn't rush to ask her about her investigation today, and went to prepare dinner with the kids.

"Grandpa Bai, here are some dried fish and meat. Eat some first to fill your stomach!"

When Lin Xi came out of Ermazi's tent just now, she took out a large bag of dried fish and dried meat from the boundary bead. She handed the cloth bag to Baiji and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

Bai Ji and his people were really hungry at this time. He took the cloth bag from Lin Xi without hesitation, took out dried fish and dried meat from it and distributed them to his tribesmen.

Everyone started eating quietly.

Before coming here, they were a little nervous, wondering whether their master's friends were easy to get along with. After interacting with Lin Kang and the others just now, they found that these children were very sincere and kind, so everyone felt a lot more at ease and relaxed.

"The folks in Linshan Village are all very easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry!"

As if knowing what they were thinking, Lin Xi chewed a piece of dried meat, looked at Baiji and the others and said with a smile.

"Master, these brothers and sisters are so nice and warm to us. Goudan even promised to teach me and Ermao martial arts!"

Big Head swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, walked in front of Lin Xi, blinked his little eyes and said happily.

"Then come on, you two, as long as you study hard, you can be as good as them!"

Lin Xi looked at Datou and encouraged him gently.

She is always very soft-hearted when it comes to children.

"Grandpa Bai, everyone has set up the tent. I'll take you there. Put down your luggage first, and then we'll go out and have a barbecue!"

Lin Xi saw that more than a dozen tents had been set up in the distance, so he stood up and looked at Bai Ji and smiled.

Hearing Lin Xi's words, the Bai family members stood up one after another, carrying their bags, and followed Lin Xi towards the tents that had just been set up.

"Sister, do you think these tents are enough?"

When Lin Ping saw Lin Xi coming over, he took her arm, pointed at a dozen tents, and asked with a smile.

"That's enough, one for each family!"

Lin Xi counted the number of tents. There were more than a dozen of them, and one tent was just right for each family.

"Grandpa Bai, you guys just make do for now. Each family can choose a tent. When we get back to Linshan Village, we'll build you a house so you'll have more space to live in!"

Lin Xi turned around and smiled at Bai Ji and the others.

Bai Ji looked at the spacious tent and repeatedly said that it was very good to be able to live in such a good tent in the mountains. He thanked Chen Qing and Lin Ping and others, then led the tribesmen into the tent and put their luggage away.

"Grandpa, these big brothers prepared such soft quilts for us, but why are these quilts sewn into bags?"

Big Head touched the sleeping bag made of a quilt and said with curiosity.

"This should be for us to crawl into and sleep in!"

Bai Zhi walked to her son, took the sleeping bag and studied it, then touched her son's little head and said.

Hearing what his father said, Datou hurriedly took off his coat and shoes, and quickly got into the sleeping bag, leaving only a small head exposed. He looked at Baizhi excitedly and said, "Daddy, this bed is so comfortable!"

After saying that, he yawned loudly. He had been frightened these past few days and had not slept well at night. He also had traveled such a long mountain road. Now that he was relaxing, fatigue instantly came over him. Lying in the soft quilt, his eyelids suddenly started to droop.

Seeing this, Datou's grandmother was about to come over and call him out, asking him to eat dinner before going to bed, but Baiji grabbed her and whispered, "Let the child sleep. He's been scared these past few days. It's okay for him to go hungry. Let him eat early tomorrow morning!"

Big-headed grandma looked at her grandson who had fallen into a deep sleep and nodded with a look of heartache on her face.

"His father, when are we going to sign the blood contract with the master?"

Big-headed grandma turned her head to look at Baiji and asked in a low voice.

When their ancestors left behind their instructions, they also left behind a method for them to sign a blood contract with their masters. Once they signed the blood contract, they could never betray their masters for the rest of their lives, otherwise they would be retaliated against and die!

At the same time, signing this blood contract is also beneficial to them. The master's fortune will be shared with them and protect them throughout their lives.

"Let everyone rest for a night. I will tell the master about this matter tomorrow morning!"

Bai Ji thought about it and said in a low voice.

Now the tribesmen are a little tired. It is not the best time to sign the blood contract. Let's let everyone adjust their condition first!

"Little sister, what happened when you went out today?"

Seeing Bai Ji and the others going to the tent to pack their luggage, Lin Kang flashed to Lin Xi's side and asked in a low voice.

"Today I went to the place where Ermazi was injured and encountered a group of puppets!"

Lin Xi and Lin Kang sat side by side by the fire and spoke in a low voice.

"puppet?"

"Yes, An Yi and his men were poisoned before. The poison in these puppets is the same as An Yi and his men's. However, I cured their poison in time, so they avoided becoming puppets. The group of black-clothed men I met today were deeply poisoned and have completely become puppets without any consciousness or ideas of their own! Moreover, they are extremely skilled!"

Lin Xi thought of those black-clothed men with great martial arts skills and frowned slightly. She had neglected it at that time. She should have found a way to save the evil cultivator's life and interrogate him to find out where the poison came from and whether other people were poisoned and what the purpose of these people was.

She had a vague feeling that someone was secretly plotting a big game. If everyone around Jun Moyue could be poisoned, it would be hard to say about other powerful people.

She just wanted Daxia to be more peaceful, so that she could live a peaceful and free life with her family and friends in Linshan Village.

No matter who it is, if he wants to destroy this peace, humph! She will definitely find him out and ruin all his plans!

"Do you know who controls those puppets?"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Kang's face became serious.

"It was controlled by an evil cultivator. I killed the puppets and the evil cultivator. It's a pity that I didn't leave the evil cultivator alive, otherwise I could have tortured him to get some useful information!"

Lin Xi sighed and said.

"Little sister, are you injured?"

Lin Kang looked at Lin Xi nervously. He wanted to reach out to help Lin Xi check on her, but then he realized that she was a girl and he couldn't do anything. He could only look at her worriedly and asked.

He knew Lin Xi, and knew that she must have been in great danger at that time, otherwise she would not have been able to kill the evil cultivator directly.

"Brother, I was injured, but I'm healed now. It's a blessing in disguise that my cultivation has become even deeper!"

Lin Xi looked at Lin Kang and said with a smile, a relaxed look on his face.

Lin Kang secretly clenched his fists. He had to practice harder and couldn't let his sister go out alone to do such dangerous things in the future.

He has to act like a real big brother and protect his younger brothers and sisters behind him!

"Brother! Brother? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Lin Kang staring at her in a daze, Lin Xi raised her hand, waved it in front of him and called out to him.

"Ah, nothing. Xi'er, what's going on with these Bai family members? Why did they come back with you? From what you said, they will live with us in Linshan Village in the future. And I heard that Grandpa Baiji called you master. What's going on?"

Lin Kang came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Bai Ji and their tent, and asked in a low voice.

"They are a family of doctors. It is said that there is an elder in the family who is very good at divination..."

Lin Xi slowly told Lin Kang the origins of the Bai family, why they lived in seclusion in the mountains, how they were persecuted by bandits and evil cultivators, and how they were later rescued by her and accepted her as their master.

“Can these people be trusted?”

After listening to this, Lin Kang thought for a while, then looked at Lin Xi and asked.

"I think they are trustworthy. If you are worried, just keep an eye on them!"

Lin Xi's intuition has always been accurate. Besides, she has been carefully observing the Bai family members since she entered the mountain village. They have simple minds and clear eyes!

After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Kang felt relieved. He nodded. Just as he was about to ask Lin Xi what plans he had for tomorrow, Yuanyuan's voice came from not far away. He hurriedly stood up and went to greet her.

"Sister Lin Xi, we are back from hunting. I also picked some mushrooms that you like to eat. I will stew chicken with mushrooms for you later! Brother Lin Kang, we also have the venison that you like to eat!"

Yuanyuan ran towards Lin Xi with an excited look on her face, holding a basket of fresh mushrooms in her hand. She saw Lin Kang walking quickly towards her, pointed at the deer at Daya's feet, and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuanyuan. I'll go and clean up the venison!"

Lin Kang looked at Yuanyuan with eyes full of affection, which made Yuanyuan blush. She nodded hurriedly, ran away from Lin Kang, came to Lin Xi, and pointed at the mushrooms in the basket for her to see.

"Let's go to the water and collect the prey together!"

Looking at Yuanyuan's cute appearance, Lin Xi couldn't help but pinch her little face, and took her to walk towards her friends who were holding the prey.

Everyone walked to the water source, chatting and laughing. While collecting the prey, they asked Lin Xi what news he had found out.

Lin Xi told the kids about the other bandit dens she had found and asked them to discuss tomorrow's actions.

Tomorrow she will follow behind them to protect their safety, and let go of everything else, allowing her friends to practice on those bandits!

Half an hour later, Lin Xi and her friends prepared a sumptuous meal of barbecue, grilled fish, mushroom stewed chicken, stewed fish, other wild vegetables, and meat porridge. She walked outside Baiji's tent and shouted with a smile, "Grandpa Baiji, come out to eat. After dinner, go to bed early!"

"Master, thank you for your hard work!"

When Bai Ji heard Lin Xi's voice, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent with his family. He bowed respectfully towards Lin Xi and said.

"Grandpa Baiji, you don't have to be polite. From now on, just call me by my name. You don't have to call me master. The same goes for others. Those who are older than me can call me by my name, and those who are younger than me can call me sister or boss!"

Lin Xi looked at the Bai clan members who came out of the tents after hearing her voice and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lin Xi!"

"Yes, boss!"

After hearing Lin Xi's words, the people of the Bai family changed the way they addressed her without any hesitation. They had to obey their master's orders.

"Come on, let's go eat! You've all worked hard today, eat more and have a good night's rest!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his friends who were barbecuing.

Bai Ji and others quickly followed and walked towards the fire.

When the kids from Linshan Village saw Bai Ji and the others coming, they all warmly invited them to eat. Some stuffed barbecue into their hands, and some served them chicken soup. It was a very harmonious scene!

"Xiao An'er, Chen Yan, you two go out and eat first. I'll stay with Er Mazi!"

Lin Xi flashed into Ermazi's tent and urged Lin An and Chen Yan to eat first. She had just quickly eaten two large bowls of mushroom stewed chicken. Her stomach was already full and she looked very satisfied.

"Sister, have you eaten?"

"Boss, have you eaten?"

Lin An and Chen Yan looked at Lin Xi and asked at the same time.

"I'm full, you guys go ahead!"

Lin Xi smiled, touched the two men’s heads, and pushed them out of the tent.

After Lin An and Chen Yan went out, they didn't waste any time. They wolfed down their fill and quickly returned to the tent, leaving Lin Xi to go out and eat more.

Lin Xi looked at the two thoughtful guys, smiled and nodded, then left the tent and went to eat some barbecue with Bai Ji and the others.
