Chapter 16 The Dog and the Lady
Those who wanted to kowtow suddenly did not dare to kneel down, touched their heads, and giggled.
The gardeners knew that Li Xun's character was not aloof, but very approachable, and they gathered around him to ask questions.
"Master, you haven't been here for two months. We are all thinking about you."
"Yes, my second child hasn't listened to your stories for two months. He doesn't think about food or tea every day, and he has lost several pounds."
"Wang Laosan, please stop talking nonsense. Your second child has grown up and has fallen in love with the third girl next door. He loves spring every day!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Li Xun burst out laughing, and even Zhao Xun, who was standing next to him and had always been gentle, raised his head and laughed loudly.
Chen Shishi looked at the noisy scene in front of her, and at Li Xun who was laughing loudly, but her face, which had always been dull, took on a different color.
Hu Hao said disdainfully: "A group of despicable people makes people feel upset just looking at them."
Several other people felt that Li Xun had stolen the limelight, so they also made sarcastic remarks there.
Chen Cong whispered: "Qi... is among them, don't talk nonsense, it will be bad if he hears it."
After being reminded by Chen Cong, everyone shut up, but the eyes they looked at Li Xun were full of disdain and contempt, and they might be saying some vicious words in their hearts.
"Okay, okay, you all can do whatever you need to do. Don't delay what you are doing just because of me. Everyone will gather at Yan Yi's place in the evening. I'll treat you."
After hearing that Li Xun wanted to treat a guest, everyone cheered and dispersed.
Everyone continued to move forward. Along the way, women came from time to time with food and drink, and delivered them to Li Xun. Their men were working in the fields, and they were taking care of their children at home. I heard that Master Li Xun
When they arrived, everyone was overjoyed. Without hesitation, they brought out the most delicious food at home that they would not be willing to eat on weekdays, to express their gratitude to Li Xun.
Li Xun couldn't hold any more in his hands, and even Zhao Xun had a lot in his hands. From the smile on Zhao Xun's face, we could tell that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
At this time, there was another burst of cheers, and a group of children rushed over from a short distance away. There were twenty or thirty people in total. They ran to Li Xun and surrounded him, jumping and shouting:
"Brother Gou'er, Brother Gou'er."
With a smile on his face, Li Xun distributed the cakes in his hand to the children one by one, causing them to cheer again and again. To Li Xun, these things were worthless, but to the people here, they were saved from the gaps between their teeth.
Yes, it might take several months or even half a year to eat it once, but when Li Xun came, they took it out without hesitation and gave it to Li Xun sincerely, because without Li Xun, they might have eaten it a few years ago
Starved to death.
Whenever someone brings food or drink, Li Xun will politely call "aunt" or "aunt", and then give the things in his hands to the young children surrounding him.
Zhao Xun had finished dividing the things in his hands. He looked at Li Xun and said softly: "It can be seen that these people sincerely welcome you."
Li Xun shook his head and sighed: "I used to be like this, too? It's just that at that time, my boss didn't treat us well."
Zhao Xun patted Li Xun on the shoulder again. His cousin had experienced this kind of living environment, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the hardships involved.
When everyone came to the waterside, there were already five small sampans waiting there, all with boatmen on them. When they saw Li Xun, they all smiled and waved hello. From the corner of their eyes, they stood on the shore and watched with a smile.
Li Xun, five years have passed. The once hasty boy has now grown up.
During the escape five years ago, Li Xun met Zhu Zhengguo, Yan Yi, Yu Guang and others, and they quickly became good friends and brothers due to their mutual affinity. After Li Xun became prosperous, he would naturally not forget them.
Zhu Zhengguo has rejoined the army and became a member of the Fengjing Central Forbidden Army. With the help of Li Xun's money, he has now become a captain. Yan Yi and Yu Guang were arranged here by Li Xun, and one of them was
He has hundreds of acres of land and manages things on weekdays. Li Xun gives him some money every month and lives a prosperous life. However, Yan Yi has a violent personality and is brave and strong. He is not used to such a dull life. Last year, he ignored his mother's objections.
, insisted on joining the army, and with the help of Zhu Zhengguo, he successfully entered the army.
He glanced at everyone from the corner of his eye and saw Zhao Xun. His identity was clear from the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to step forward to salute, Li Xun quickly winked at him.
He understood from the corner of his eye and hugged everyone, then looked at Li Xun and said, "Master, do you want to go to the island?"
Li Xun nodded and said: "Prepare more delicious food tonight. I want to treat everyone to dinner. It will be in the square in front of your house. Lao Yu, please prepare it."
"I'll go get ready right away. There are people on the island to greet you and there's food and drink. I won't let anyone come up to disturb you."
Yu Guang has helped manage the manor for several years, and has become more and more stable in his conduct and work.
Zhao Xun got on a small sampan and waved to Li Xun, asking him to come up and sit with him. However, Xiao Jinbao pretended not to see it and just went ahead and sat on it. The small sampan was very small and could fit two people, no more.
It's a bit crowded.
Li Xun shrugged at Zhao Xun, made a helpless gesture, and then came to another small sampan and sat down.
"Miss Shishi, please get on the boat."
Chen Cong turned sideways and asked.
"Young master, you're welcome. Shishi has her own plans."
Chen Shishi bowed slightly and bowed to Chen Cong. Then, while everyone was stunned, she got on Li Xun's small sampan and sat side by side with him.
Everyone looked at Li Xun with envy and jealousy, and then had no choice but to get on another small sampan.
The boat slowly headed towards the small island a few hundred meters away.
Sitting so close to Chen Shishi and smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Li Xun became a little nervous. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but curse secretly.
I was incompetent and wasted such a good opportunity.
“I don’t know how to address you, Master?”
Chen Shishi spoke first.
Listening to Chen Shishi's soft words and weak voice, Li Xun calmed down and said with a chuckle: "I'm Li Xun, nicknamed Dog."
"Dog...dog."
Chen Shishi murmured a few words softly, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face.
The boatman was obviously rowing very slowly in order to allow Li Xun and Chen Shishi to stay together for a longer time. The boats in front were already approaching the shore of the island, but they were only halfway there.
.
Hu Hao and others were shouting and waving in front of them, gesturing them to hurry up.
Li Xun secretly hated Hu Hao and others, so he could only say to the boatman: "Brother Wang, why are you rowing so slowly?"
The boatman said: "This... young master! I didn't eat enough at noon, so I have no strength!"
Li Xun smiled to himself: "Miss Shishi, please slow down and it'll be okay!"
Chen Shishi smiled, said nothing, and looked in another direction.
"Master Li, where do you go from there?"
Li Xun followed Chen Shishi's gaze and saw that a few hundred meters away on the right, there was a dam protection dam more than ten meters high. There was a wooden dam door in the middle, which was open at the moment.
"The water here is brought in from the outside. From there, it is a large lake. I occasionally go fishing there."
Chen Shishi said softly: "Master Li, can we go outside and take a look?"
Li Xun nodded and stood up: "Then I'll ask Hu Hao and the others to come back."
