108 Fourth Uncle Lin is Alive
“Sit properly.” He suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice.
He looked around and found that there was no one around.
“Li Xiao, you’re the best!” Lin Xiaoyue said coquettishly.
She realized that he was reserved.
The way Lin Xiaoyue called his name seemed to be charged with electricity, and it quickly pa.s.sed through his limbs and bones.
Then, he spent a lot of effort to suppress the restless emotions in his heart and made Lin Xiaoyue sit properly.
Lin Xiaoyue was cooperative this time and smiled at him.
Hehe, it’s fun to mess with him. What if she couldn’t control herself and wanted to continue?
“In the future, you’re not allowed to behave this way with others.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice as he looked forward.
This time, he was not angry, but he did not dare to look at Lin Xiaoyue.
Her gaze was too piercing. He actually felt a little uncomfortable.
“Yes, only to you, since you’re my future husband!” Lin Xiaoyue said loudly.
Li Xiao’s heart trembled again.
This girl was completely different from the other girls he had seen before…
For the rest of the journey, Lin Xiaoyue became a chatterbox again.
Li Xiao would reply from time to time, and the atmosphere finally returned to normal.
When he got home, there were already many bricks and wood in the courtyard.
Carpenter Sun moved his equipment over. In half a day, he had already processed a lot of wood.
Li Xiao rode the ox-cart to transport the bricks, and Lin Xiaoyue carried the basket back to the shed to help Liu Shi cook.
At this time, Liu Shi had already finished making rice and was preparing to cook the dishes.
When she saw Lin Xiaoyue return, she immediately a.s.signed the cooking task to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue did not decline. She put down the basket and started to get busy.
In the few days before the construction team came, the Liu family did not provide meals. Lin Xiaoyue did not make it complicated and simply made three dishes and a soup. It was paired with the buns she had bought in town, and the family had a meal together.
In the afternoon, Li Xiao was building the cowshed, and Lin Xiaoyue was helping him.
After the muddy road became dry again under the scorching sun, Li Xiao drove the ox-cart into town after 4 o’clock to continue transporting bricks.
Lin Xiaoyue entered the mountain with her chopper.
Later on, there would be more than 20 people in their house every day. The firewood in the house would be consumed very quickly.
She had to chop more firewood before the fire started.
While chopping the firewood, Lin Xiaoyue also caught a few hares and brought them back.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue heard about the Lin family on the way.
It turned out that someone had seen Fourth Uncle Lin coming down from the mountain early in the morning.
He was drenched in sweat and looking like a ghost. He didn’t even greet the person and just ran back to the Lin family.
“What do you think he did in the mountains last night?”
“Who knows? It was very strange. When I ran into him this morning, he ignored me when I called him. He fell down, got up, and continued to run, as if someone was chasing after him.” Another person said.
“It can’t be that he’s possessed, right?”
“Not sure. I heard that he fainted when he went back and hasn’t woken up yet.” He lowered his voice.
“Are there any ghosts in the mountain?”
“Don’t scare yourself. Even if there is, it wouldn’t dare to come out in broad daylight. But we’d better go back earlier in the future.”
…
Lin Xiaoyue smiled, and she quickened her pace.
She had almost forgotten about her fourth uncle.
