Chapter 416 People will change
Lin Kang walked up to the kids and told them what Lin Xi meant.
Everyone was nervous, excited, and eager to try. This was the first time the boss had completely handed over a task to them, and they had to do it well.
Zhao Junle, who was among the children listening to their discussion, walked over to Lin Xi after hearing what Lin Kang said, sat down next to her, looked at her face and said, "Lin Xi, these kids must have done so much good in their previous lives to deserve your consideration for them in this life!"
She grew up in a large family. After hearing Lin Xi leave all matters to the kids to decide for themselves, and thinking about the skills Lin Xi had taught these kids before, she instantly understood what Lin Xi meant.
Lin Xi really treats these kids without reservation! She is a little jealous!
"They're worth it!"
Lin Xi leaned back and relaxed on the rock behind her. The warm sunlight enveloped her whole body and the breeze gently brushed across her face. She closed her eyes comfortably and uttered four words softly.
Sincerity is always the most touching. Her current state of mind is different from when she first came here. Her friends knocked on the door of her heart with sincerity.
"Lin Xi, have you ever thought that people will change? After these children go to Beijing and experience the wealth and prosperity of the world, will they still be as innocent and lovely as they are now? You will be disappointed then."
Wealth and honor are fascinating! Zhao Junle said quietly as he looked at the kids who were enthusiastically discussing how to attack the bandits.
Hearing what Zhao Junle said, Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said softly, "Everyone changes, right? Am I not the same as before? I am much softer now than before."
After that, she smiled and looked at her friends, and continued, "Although everyone's living conditions were difficult before, their parents and family members loved them very much, and the villagers in the village were also harmonious and friendly. Children who grew up surrounded by love will change in the future, at most they will become smooth and proficient in the ways of the world. I believe they will not become bad!"
"Everyone will be worn down by this world. As long as you live in this world and interact with others, no one is an exception!"
Lin Xi looked into Zhao Junle's eyes and said.
In her previous life, she was tired of the troubles of the world, so after traveling through time, she wanted to stay in this small mountain village with simple folk customs and pursue that relative freedom!
"Lin Xi, you are so young, how can you be so mature? It's like you have lived for a long time, seen all kinds of things in the world, and experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature!"
Zhao Junle looked at Lin Xi in front of him and felt a little strange.
"I am mature at a young age!"
Lin Xi sat up straight and said with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking about me and tell me about your own affairs, Auntie. Why do I always feel like you are trying to get away from the capital?"
Lin Xi looked at Zhao Junle and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"You're right. I don't want to go back to that hypocritical and cold place in the capital at all!"
Zhao Junle nodded and admitted it very straightforwardly.
"Lin Xi, you haven't been there. In the capital, everyone wears a fake mask. I used to have a few good friends. Whenever I got something good, I would leave a portion for them. I always thought they were sincere in being friends with me. I didn't expect that one day, I overheard them and other so-called noble ladies laughing at me, saying that I was vulgar and that if I wasn't born noble, they would have disdained to pay attention to me!"
As Zhao Junle spoke, a tear dripped from the corner of her eye. She tried hard to raise her head to stop the tears from falling.
Even today, when she thinks of the mocking expressions on the faces of those 'friends', she still feels a prickly pain in her heart. Her sincerity was thrown to the ground and trampled on without any appreciation!
She paused for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "Later, I paid special attention and observed carefully, and found that the girls in the capital all had a purpose and were selective in their friendships with others. There was no such pure friendship as between you and these girls. They were trained to be like that by their families since they were young! Those officials are even worse, their so-called friendships are all tied together by interests! Take my grandfather's disciples for example, if my grandfather was not the prime minister, do you think they would still respect him so much?"
Therefore, after meeting Lin Xi and these kids, she followed them back with a shameless face. They thought that this ordinary and pure friendship was what she had always been seeking!
"So, you left the capital and wanted to join the army?"
Lin Xi asked, staring at Zhao Junle's trembling eyelashes, on which there were a few crystal tears hanging. Fortunately, this girl still believed in the existence of true friendship in the world after being severely hurt by her friends.
"Yes, my mother comes from a military family. After she knew about these things, she saw that I was depressed all day in the capital. She was afraid that I would get bored, so she told me that I could go to the military camp to find my cousin. The soldiers in the army are the most straightforward. She said I would definitely like it! While relaxing, I can protect the people of Daxia like my grandfather did! I have admired my grandfather the most since I was a child, so I hid it from my father and left the capital with the help of my mother and grandfather!"
"Luckily I left the capital, otherwise I wouldn't have met you!"
Zhao Junle looked at Lin Xi with eyes full of relief.
Thinking of the first time he met Zhao Junle, Lin Xi couldn't help but tease her: "Well, it's a good thing you met me, otherwise you might have been harmed by someone!"
Zhao Junle thought of that dark history and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
Thinking of those evil families, her eyes were filled with coldness. She looked into the distance and said, "I hope that after the regent ascends the throne, he will be able to manage Daxia well and stop letting those rich and unkind people do evil again!"
"Let Jun Moxie worry about these things. Aunt, what are your plans for the future? You can't just stay out there like this forever, right? One day you'll have to return to the capital to get married and have children."
Lin Xi patted Zhao Junle on the shoulder and asked.
This girl hates the cold and hypocritical capital city so much. How miserable she would be if she were trapped there forever.
"Who said I have to go back to the capital to get married? My grandfather and mother said that I can decide where to go in the future. My husband must be approved by me first. They won't force me to get married!"
When Zhao Junle said this, he thought of his grandfather and mother who doted on him very much, and his eyes were filled with happiness.
The sadness just now disappeared instantly.
"Aunt, it seems that you are very lucky to have such a loving family!"
Lin Xi had great respect for Prime Minister Zhao and Leng Linglong. Not to mention this era, even in the previous life, there were not many elders who could achieve this level.
"Yes, we are all very happy and have met the best family! Lin Xi girl, I want to settle down in Linshan Village in the future. If my grandfather and mother come to Linshan Village, they will definitely like it here!"
Zhao Junle looked at the picturesque little mountain village with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and he did not hide his love for it on his face.
"Okay, there's an empty lot next to my house. We can help aunt build a yard there. That will be aunt's home in Linshan Village!"
"Okay, okay! After we kill the bandits, I will start building the house. I'll go take a look at that piece of land first!
Zhao Junle jumped up from the ground with excitement and said with a smile.
After saying that, he rushed excitedly towards the foot of the mountain.
Looking at Zhao Junle's leaving back, Lin Xi shook his head and laughed, then lay down against the stone again, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun.
"Xi'er, we have discussed it and decided to set off after lunch! Now they are all going home to prepare!"
Quarter of an hour later, Lin Kang walked to Lin Xi, squatted down, looked at Lin Xi who was enjoying the sun, and smiled.
"Okay, I get it, bro!"
Lin Xi opened his eyes, stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, looked at Lin Kang and smiled.
After that, she walked to Lin An and Lin Ping, touched Lin An's little head and said, "Xiao An'er, I'm joining your team for this operation. If there's anything you need me to do, you can assign it to me!"
"That's great, sister! Goudan and the others are participating in this kind of mission for the first time. I'll trouble you to protect them. I'm afraid they'll be in danger!"
When Lin An and Lin Ping heard that Lin Xi would be in the same team with them, they smiled at each other and were very happy. Goudan and his team had never had a head-on battle with such an evil person, and they were just worried about him. It was just right that their sister joined their team to protect them.
"Yes, Captain Lin An, I understand. I will definitely protect them!"
Lin Xi looked at Lin An and said seriously.
"Hehe, sister, please don't act like one of my teammates. I'm not used to it!"
Lin An touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
"I am your team member now. You should treat me like any other team member. Just tell me what tasks you need!"
Lin Xi tapped Lin An's forehead and chuckled.
"Then let's go home now, disguise ourselves, gather at noon, and set out from the mountains and forests!"
Lin An shrugged his nose and said seriously.
The four sisters rushed home quickly!
"Xiaobai, Xiaohong, Xiaogui, Xiaoque, the four of you will stay in Linshan Village this time and be responsible for protecting the safety of the villagers!"
After Lin Xi returned home, he called the four divine beasts to him and gave them instructions with a smile.
"Yes, Master!"
The four little guys accepted Lin Xi's orders without hesitation.
"Xi'er, how long will you be out this time? When do you leave? Mother will make some dry food for you to take with you!"
Cao walked up to Lin Xi, took her hand and asked, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Even though she knew the abilities of her children, she still couldn't help but worry when they went out. Only after she came home and was sure they were safe and sound could she completely let go.
"Mom, I'm not sure how long I'll be away this time. I'll have to find out the situation of the bandits first. We like to eat the meat patties you make, so please make some more for us!"
Lin Xi looked at Cao and said with a smile that she had the boundary beads on her body, so they were not short of food outside, but she still hugged Cao's arm and acted coquettishly, asking her to make some meat patties for them to take away.
Because she knows that being needed is also a very happy thing.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Xi's words, Cao was very happy. She wiped her hands hurriedly on her apron, turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
"Mom, let me help you chop the meat!"
Lin Kang looked at Cao's back, shouted with a smile, and then he followed her.
Chopping meat is too tiring. Normally, they are reluctant to let their mother do such strenuous work. Usually, it is the three brothers or their father who chops the meat.
Looking at his mother leaving excitedly, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xi turned around and saw Lin Dayong standing beside her with a conflicted look on his face. She raised her eyebrows and asked.
Just now, Dad just stood there without saying a word, his face was wrinkled like a bun, and I don’t know what he was worried about!
"Xi'er, Dad wants to go out with you this time!"
Lin Dayong looked at Lin Xi and said.
"Then let's go together!"
Lin Xi answered without thinking, she didn't understand what was so fussy about it.
"But I'm worried about your mother being alone at home!"
Lin Dayong looked towards the kitchen, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Daddy also saw it just now. I asked Xiaobai and the other four to stay at home. Mom will not be in danger. Daddy doesn't have to worry about Mom's safety!"
Lin Xi thought that Lin Dayong was worried that Cao would be unsafe at home alone, so he pointed at the four little guys playing in the yard and said.
"I'm not worried about your mother getting into trouble. I just can't bear to see her alone at home. She will feel uncomfortable. After you guys left last time, your mother went to the village entrance every day to look out for you guys, hoping you would come back. She said she felt empty when she couldn't see you. If I leave too this time, she will definitely feel even worse!"
After Lin Dayong finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, he clenched his fist and said with determination: "Forget it, I'd better stay at home with your mother. When there is a chance in the future, I will take your mother out for a walk!"
"Xi'er, go and prepare the things you need to take with you. I'll go light a fire for your mother!"
After Lin Dayong made his choice, he felt relaxed all over. He looked at Lin Xi and said with a smile, then strode towards the kitchen.
Lin Xi looked at Lin Dayong's broad back for a long time without saying a word. She seemed to like this father more and more. He was like holding her mother in the palm of his hand and loving her so much!
This is a real man. Compared with her father, those chauvinistic men in her previous life are simply humble!
Her mother is such a blessed person!
It is a great blessing for these sisters to be able to live in such a family!
"Sister, are you busy now?"
While Lin Xi was in a daze, Lin Ping and Lin An ran out from the back yard carrying backpacks. Seeing Lin Xi standing motionless in the middle of the yard, they ran up to her and asked with a smile.
"I have nothing to do. I'm just waiting to set off with everyone at noon. What's wrong? Is there anything you need me to do?"
This time, Lin Xi really acted like a hands-off boss, not worrying about anything and just waiting for the kids to make arrangements.
