The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 246 Xiaobai Discovers the Treasure

The village chief counted the number of stoves and looked at the number of people participating in the competition, but there were still not enough stoves. Finally, he decided to divide the competition into two rounds, and this problem was solved.

After the villagers helped to set up all the supplies for the competition, the village chief happily took the gong from Goudan's hand, knocked it hard, and loudly announced the start of the competition.

At the beginning, everyone was watching the contestants with great interest, cheering for them from time to time, but by the end, they all felt a little sleepy.

Because the process of making dried meat is time-consuming, the villagers simply sat cross-legged on the ground and took a nap.

The children in the village are full of energy, gathering in groups of three or five to talk and play.

An hour later, the sky gradually darkened and the first round of competition finally ended. The village chief took Chen Yan to write down everyone's results, and then the second round of competition began.

The finished dried meat was placed in the sieve to dry. The air was filled with the rich aroma of meat, making everyone drool.

Although the conditions of each family are much better now than at the beginning, the villagers are still reluctant to eat the dried meat. They all want to keep it and sell it for more money. The habit of diligence and thrift has been deeply engraved in their bones.

Lin Xi touched his rumbling stomach and seeing that everyone was a little hungry, he thought of catching some spiritual fish. It was rare for all the villagers to gather together, so it was a good opportunity for everyone to eat some spiritual fish to strengthen their physical fitness.

After thinking about it, she winked at Lin Kang who was being attentive to Yuan Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go to the mountain to catch some fish. The old people in the village are gathered here today, let them eat some fish to nourish their bodies."

Hearing this, Lin Kang handed the little rabbit made of dogtail grass to Yuanyuan, stood up, patted his butt and said, "Okay, Xier, wait a moment, I'll go get some backpacks."

Having said that, he went into the yard to get the basket.

"Sister, my second brother and I want to go too!"

Seeing this, Xiao An'er hurriedly came to Lin Xi, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.

Daya, Yuanyuan, Youfu, Chen Qing and others nearby also quickly said that they wanted to go together. They thought that so many people would have to eat a lot of fish, and there was no way the eldest few could carry it all.

Seeing that they didn't want to be refused, Lin Xi sighed secretly and had to agree to take them along.

Alas, she originally wanted to secretly take some spirit fish out of the boundary bead with her elder brother, and then stay on the mountain road for a while, pretending to be coming down the mountain. Now, she really has to go up the mountain.

It was already late in the day. The moon tonight was half hidden behind the clouds and not much moonlight was shining. The stars had also hidden themselves. It was pitch black all around with only some firelight coming through from the shed.

Lin Xi called Damazi over and asked him to bring some firewood with the team members, light a few more bonfires in the middle of the venue, and then go to each household to get some pots and pans, waiting to make fish soup for the villagers.

Upon hearing this, Damazi happily agreed and started working with the children in the village.

After Lin Xi and his companions said something to the villagers, they each carried a backpack and headed up the mountain.

The kids often train in the mountains at night, and knowing their abilities, the villagers are not worried that Lin Xi will encounter any danger when he goes up the mountain for a few nights.

Thinking that they would have fish soup soon, everyone licked their lips and became a little restless, so they all stood up to help the kids collect firewood and light a fire.

The open space suddenly became lively again.

"Sister Lin Xi, what do you think of my Qinggong?"

Yuanyuan asked Lin Xi with a giggle while practicing Qinggong and moving quickly on the mountain road.

Her lightness skills are considered very impressive among her friends, and she couldn't help but want to show them to Lin Xi.

Before Lin Xi could say anything, Daya's teasing voice rang out in the darkness: "Yuanyuan, look at the night sky tonight. It's so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. What are you asking Lin Xi to look at?"

Yuanyuan's embarrassed voice came from not far ahead: "Oh, yeah, I forgot about that, hehe!"

Lin Xi chuckled. She didn't tell anyone that even in this dark night, she could clearly see everything around her.

Lin Kang looked at Yuanyuan's cute face with her tongue sticking out, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yuanyuan, wait for us, don't run too far!"

Youfu shouted loudly in the direction where Yuanyuan's voice came from.

"Brother, come and chase me, let's see who can reach the water first!"

After Yuanyuan finished speaking, she quickened her pace and rushed up the mountain.

"Well, let's have a competition!"

Lin Xi laughed and said to a few people.

Before she finished her words, several figures rushed up the mountain at a rapid speed.

Their loud laughter could be heard from time to time on the mountain road.

After a while, the three sisters Lin Xi arrived at the thatched cottage on the mountain.

Yuanyuan looked at Lin Xi, Lin Kang, Lin Ping and Lin An who arrived earlier than her, and said in surprise: "I'm not surprised that Sister Lin Xi and Brother Lin Kang are faster than me. Before Sister Lin Xi came back, Lin Ping and Xiao An'er, your Qinggong was not as good as mine. How come you have surpassed me so much in just a few days?"

Lin An and Lin Ping looked at each other and thought: We are flying with spiritual power, of course we are faster than you, and we haven't used our full strength yet.

Because their elder sister said that she would not teach the other children how to use spiritual power for the time being, the two of them laughed and said that they had been practicing secretly, which made Yuanyuan shout that she also wanted to intensify her training.

Lin Kang was afraid that she was working too hard, so he looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Lin Xi has researched a new technique. When she has thoroughly studied it, she will teach it to everyone. By then, you will be able to be as good at Qinggong as us."

Youfu, Daya and Chen Qing, who arrived later, happened to hear Lin Kang's words, and immediately surrounded Lin Xi with Yuanyuan to ask about the new martial arts.

Lin Xi looked at them and smiled: "Don't worry, I will teach you in a few days."

After hearing this, everyone let Lin Xi go and went to the pond to pull the fish basket.

Just as Lin Xi was about to follow, Xiaobai suddenly bit the corner of her skirt.

It sniffed its little nose and excitedly said to Lin Xi: "Master, I smell the scent of treasure!"

Hearing its words, Lin Xi hugged it in his arms, stared at it with burning eyes and asked: "What treasure? Where is it?"

"In that direction, Master, let's go there quickly, or someone else might snatch your treasure away!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi shouted to Lin Kang and the others, "You guys go catch the fish first. I have something to do. I'll be back soon!"

After saying this, without waiting for their answer, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

By the time Lin Kang and the others reacted, Lin Xi was nowhere to be seen.

"What is Sister Lin Xi doing? She's running so fast!"

"Who knows? Forget about her. Let's catch and kill the fish first!"

"Okay, when Lin Xi comes back, maybe we'll have already processed the fish!"

......

As they talked, several people got busy.
