The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 281 Everyone’s Thoughts

Shangguan Yu and the other two stood up and looked around separately. After getting together to discuss it, they chose a secluded depression and sat down cross-legged.

"Big brother, second brother, do you want to try the pills my stepsister gave me?"

Ouyang Jing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked at Shangguan Yu and Nangong Qing with a questioning look.

"From what happened tonight, my stepsister must be a skilled doctor. Since she gave this pill as a gift, it must be a good thing. No matter what you think, I will definitely try it!"

After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he took out the porcelain bottle that Lin Xi had given him, poured out a pill from it, put it in his mouth, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

He thought of how Manager Zhou was seriously injured when he was first imprisoned, but he was fine after taking a pill from Lin Xi. The muscle softening powder in their bodies was also easily removed by Lin Xi. Her medical skills must be amazing!

Although they had just met Lin Xi, judging by her style of doing things, they knew she would definitely not harm them. If she wanted to harm them, she would not have helped them detoxify and prepared clothes and money for them.

Thinking about the handwritten letters that Lin Xi asked them to write, she probably just wanted to make a deal with them in exchange for saving their lives at first, but she didn't expect that they would propose to recognize her as their sister.

After agreeing to be their stepsister, she generously took out the pill and gave it to them. This pill must be a good thing!

After thinking about it, Shangguan Yu cleared his mind, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

Nangong Qing swallowed a pill earlier than Shangguan Yu. He didn't think much about it. Since his sister said that the pill was good for their health, he would just eat it quickly. His body would recover faster and he would feel more relaxed on the road.

He didn't say anything, but answered Ouyang Jing's question with his actions.

After Nangong Qing swallowed the pill, he saw that Ouyang Jing did not take the pill, but was secretly observing his and Shangguan Yu's reactions after taking the pill.

He couldn't help but curl his lips. Ouyang Jing was the youngest, but he was the most defensive. He knew his stepsister wouldn't harm them. He wasn't afraid that his stepsister would find out and become estranged from him.

But thinking about what happened to Ouyang Jing, he began to understand him a little.

He knew that Ouyang Jing was not deliberately guarding against Lin Xi. He had experienced countless assassinations by his own brothers since he was a child, and was even betrayed by his wet nurse. He didn't know how many people around him were truly loyal to him.

I heard that it was not until two years ago that Emperor Liang punished those restless princes and replaced all the people in Ouyang Jing's house with his confidants, and only then did Ouyang Jing have a peaceful life.

But this kid was also unlucky. His good days didn't last long before he was caught here and never saw the light of day again.

Hey! You say that others are unlucky, but I am also unlucky. My father and mother are very strict on weekdays. I finally sneaked out to play once, but I didn’t expect to be caught here. I don’t know how worried my father and mother are!

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply and was eager to go home!

Seeing that Shangguan Yu and Nangong Qing were fine after taking the pills, Ouyang Jing also took out a pill and swallowed it.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, he heard Nangong Qing sighing, so he asked curiously, "Second brother, why are you sighing? We have escaped and will be able to return home soon."

Shangguan Yu, who was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, heard the noise, opened his eyes, looked at Nangong Qing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nangong Qing lay on the ground with his hands behind his head, looking at the full moon in the sky and said, "It's okay, I just miss my father and mother!"

Shangguan Yu followed his example and lay on the ground, looking at the round moon and said, "I miss my father and mother too! I don't know how sad they will be if they can't find me. I don't know if they are eating well and taking care of themselves, and if anyone in my house has been implicated!"

Ouyang Jing sneered when he heard this and said, "Big brother, second brother, don't worry. In this world, no one can live without whom. Don't think too highly of yourself. Just like my mother, when she was alive, my father loved her to the skies. But a few days after she passed away, he asked the court officials to send girls to the palace for selection. As for me, the child born to the woman he once loved the most, he put so much effort into it. If I hadn't been precocious and defensive since I was a child, I don't know how many times I would have died!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi's voice came from not far away: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, come out and have some barbecue!"

When Shangguan Yu and the other two heard Lin Xi's words, they hurried out from their hiding place.

"Little sister, isn't it unsafe for us to have a barbecue here? What if these people have companions and come back to catch us?"

Shangguan Yu quickly took the bundle of firewood from Lin Xi's shoulders and asked with some concern.

"Don't be afraid, bro. It would be even better if some of the escaped fish come back. We can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Lin Xi waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

After she finished speaking, she saw Nangong Qing and Ouyang Jing coming to take the backpack from her back. She took the backpack off her back with the force of the two men, put it on the ground, and opened it for the three of them to see.

"Look what delicious food I made for you!"

Looking at the three bunches of crystal clear grapes on the top of the basket, Shangguan Yu and the other two couldn't help swallowing.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, if you want to eat them, just take them. You're welcome. I've already washed the grapes!"

Seeing that the three of them were drooling with greed but were too embarrassed to take action, Lin Xi urged them with a smile.

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Nangong Qing took the lead in picking up a bunch of grapes, tilted her head back and took a few bites, while she ate she kept praising: "Delicious! Delicious! Where did you get such delicious grapes, little sister? They taste better than the ones I've eaten before, so juicy, sour and sweet!" "Oh, this is a gift from my friend. I hid these grapes somewhere nearby!"

Lin Xi answered with a smile as he piled the firewood together and prepared to light it.

Seeing Nangong Qing eating with such a sweet look on her face, Shangguan Yu and Ouyang Jing couldn't help it any longer and didn't care about being reserved anymore. They reached out and each took a bunch of grapes and started to eat them. While eating, they kept nodding and saying that they were delicious.

In a short while, they finished all the grapes in their hands.

Seeing that Lin Xi had already lit the fire and was taking out the prepared meat from the backpack and was about to string the meat onto the sharpened bamboo skewers, Shangguan Yu and the other two quickly sat on the ground and imitated Lin Xi to string the meat, but their movements were very clumsy.

Fortunately, they have strong learning abilities. After skewering a few times, they mastered the technique and increased their speed. They skewered the meat quickly and well. Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Xi and the other three had finished skewering all the meat.

Lin Xi grilled the meat skewers, took out bottles and jars from the backpack, kept turning the skewers and sprinkled seasoning on them. After a while, the rich aroma of meat lingered in the noses of several people.
