Lu Zhiyun was playing with Xiao Hei. When she saw Mu Siyu coming out, she sweetly shouted: "Mom, you're awake!"
"Hey, are you hungry? Mom will prepare something for you right away." Mu Siyu smiled.
"Mom, why is your face so red?" Lu Zhiyun blinked her lively eyes: "It looks like peach blossoms, so beautiful."
Mu Siyu was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Lu Zhiyun's words.
Lu Zhiyun didn't wait for her to answer, and then said, "Did your mouth get bitten by a mosquito? It's red and swollen."
"Cough!" Lu Xuan's light cough came from the window: "Xiao Yun'er, come over and help my uncle water the flowers."
"Okay!" Lu Zhiyun trotted into Lu Xuan's room.
Mu Siyu was relieved and went into the kitchen to make breakfast to divert her attention.
"Sister." Mu Zhenghan called her outside.
When Mu Siyu came out, Lu Shaoyu had already let him in.
Mu Zhenghan held the basket and handed it to her: "Mom said you were exhausted yesterday and would definitely not be able to get up today, so she made more pancakes."
"Thank you." Mu Siyu said, "Then I'll just cook some more corn soup and pancakes."
"Okay." Mu Zhenghan looked at Mu Siyu curiously: "Sister, have you been bitten by a mosquito?"
Lu Shaoyu glanced at Mu Siyu and said to Mu Zhenghan: "Master asked you to carry it, will you do it?"
Mu Zhenghan: "..."
His little uncle really doesn't have any authority at all.
Lu Yi came out of the bathroom, his black eyes resting on Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu saw that his hair was wet and there were many water stains on his face. His dark eyes were deep and dark, as if they could absorb people's souls and make people dare not look at him.
"It seems that there are really a lot of mosquitoes here, and my brother-in-law has also been bitten." Mu Zhenghan thought thoughtfully. "I will go to the mountains to find some mosquito-killing grass and smoke it later."
"You have this free time, you might as well memorize the lessons assigned by the master. I will come to see you write from memory later." Lu Shaoyu said.
Mu Zhenghan felt aggrieved: "I am your uncle."
"Academically, you are my junior brother." Lu Shaoyu looked stern. "Forgot about the half-year period? It's been a month now."
Mu Zhenghan didn't dare to speak.
Mu Siyu was making corn soup, and when she saw Lu Yi coming in, she moved to the side.
Lu Yi grabbed her, pushed her body aside, and said, "I'll light the fire."
Mu Siyu glared at him.
"Madam, are you dissatisfied with me?" Lu Yi smiled lightly.
"Dare not, how dare I be dissatisfied with Mr. Lu?" Mu Siyu snorted coldly.
During breakfast, everyone ate pancakes and drank corn soup quietly. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was strange.
Lu Zhiyun looked at Lu Yi, then at Mu Siyu, and said, "Father, mother, can Yun'er go out to play with you today?"
"I invited Dr. Zhu today, but I'm afraid I won't have time to go out and play." Mu Siyu said.
"Oh..." Lu Zhiyun lowered her head and drank the soup.
Mu Siyu couldn't bear to see her like this.
Everyone is busy recently, Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan are busy with studies, Lu Xuan is busy with private school and writing books, Lu Zhiyun has become the most boring person, she must be feeling bored!
"Uncle, aren't you going to class today?" Mu Siyu asked.
"No bathing today." Lu Xuan said.
"Then I have a suggestion. You see, it's rare for our family to be together as a group. How about going out for a picnic? Invite Dr. Zhu then. It would be quite interesting."
"What is a picnic?" Lu Zhiyun became more energetic.
"Having a picnic is to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to enjoy the beautiful scenery while making delicious food, and it will be more interesting to taste the delicious food in nature. I just asked the blacksmith shop to make me some barbecue racks some time ago, and this time they came in handy. We can enjoy the food while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
BBQ and enjoy the view.”
"Okay." Lu Yi said.
"Sounds interesting."
Lu Xuan used to have a noisy temper. If his health had not deteriorated, he would not have become a homebody. Now that his health is getting better and better, of course he also wants to go out and play.
A carriage carrying eight people drove towards Narrow Water Valley.
When getting out of the car, Dr. Zhu moved his arms, faced the clear lake and said, "The scenery here is beautiful."
Others followed down.
"It is indeed a beautiful scenery." Lu Xuan said: "Doctor Zhu, there should be a lot of poisonous insects here, right? I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You brat, you are good at calling people." Dr. Zhu stroked his beard and said, "No, this is medicinal powder. Sprinkle some on your body and no poisonous insects will come close to you."
Mu Siyu and Lu Yi moved those things out and arranged the barbecue grill.
Opposite is the lake, which has a lot of fish, and grilled fish is indispensable. She also prepared sliced meat and vegetables, as well as boiled sour plum soup to relieve fatigue, so that the children can eat it when they are tired from playing.
"Shaoyu, I'm not as good at reading as you are, but I'm definitely better at catching fish than you are." Mu Zhenghan had already entered the water.
Mu Siyu was worried: "Is the water here deep? Is it safe?"
"Brother Han grew up by the water. He used to go fishing for fish and shrimp a lot, so don't worry." Lu Yi wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "It's still early, do you want to go there and have a look?"
Just now, there was nothing wrong with the crowd. Now that the two of them were alone, the ambiguous atmosphere in the morning reappeared.
Lu Yi grabbed her wrist to prevent her from flinching.
Mu Siyu looked up at him: "What to do?"
"There must be a lot of wild mushrooms and game in the mountains over there. Don't you want to pick some and bring them back?"
"I'll go take a look."
Lu Yi gave some instructions to Lu Xuan and Dr. Zhu, then spoke to Mrs. Tong who was picking wild flowers with Lu Zhiyun, and followed Mu Siyu.
There is indeed a lot of game on the mountain, and the mushrooms are big and fresh, which makes Mu Siyu, who likes to cook, more and more excited, and can't stop on the way to pick them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The strange noise caught Mu Siyu's attention. She stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A hand covered her mouth, and just when she was frightened, a familiar voice sounded: "It's me."
Mu Siyu relaxed.
Lu Yi took Mu Siyu and hid behind a tree.
Phew! A man's neck was cut, and a pair of eyes that were fixed in death were looking in the direction of Mu Siyu and Lu Yi.
Mu Siyu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Don't have to be so unlucky, right?
The whole family encountered this kind of killing scene on their first group outing.
She was so happy staying in the countryside that she almost forgot that this was ancient times, a dynasty where people could eat people and the imperial power was supreme.
Here, those in power can destroy a family, even a village, or a city with just a few clicks of their fingers.
Human life is worthless here.
For example, right now, five hundred meters away from them, those skilled people were cutting lives one after another. An old man in dark blue robes was watching all this with indifferent eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, everything is solved."
"Throw it off the cliff and feed it to the wolves."
