System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 148 A short and pleasant life

At night, there was finally movement in Xia Xiaoxiao's room. The two of them hurriedly stood guard in front of the room and asked Su Liyue: "Liyue, is Xiaoxiao okay? Are you all right?"

"It's okay. Don't worry."

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Lingxian sat in the yard, looking in one direction, staring blankly, with incomprehensible emotions in his eyes.

Lu Nanyin stood beside her, looking at her quietly. After a long while, she asked, "What is that place over there?"

Chu Lingxian glanced at her sideways, then smiled and told her, "That's my home."

Home? Lu Nanyin thought about the small courtyard where she used to live. Was it a home? Probably not. There didn't seem to be anything there worth her nostalgia. As for her mother and nanny, they were not happy there either. It was not as good as here.

"I seem to have no home." Lu Nanyin talked to herself, but for Chu Lingxian who could hear her inner thoughts, these words echoed clearly in her ears.

Lu Nanyin also moved a chair and sat next to her, emptying her mind and thinking about whatever she wanted.

Then what Chu Lingxian heard became, I want to eat the sesame cakes from the shop in the east of Qiandi City, but that lady has a good temper, and she doesn’t know that her cheap husband has already hooked up with the woman who buys tofu next door. I want to eat the steamed buns made by the nanny, which are white and soft. Why didn’t I feel that life was so difficult at that time? What can I do when I grow up? I am useless, and I waste food and get scolded. Alas! Life is hard! Speaking of the young lady of the Liu family, where will she go later? She said she wanted to see the sea. I haven’t been there either. I want to see...

Chu Lingxian rubbed his temples, feeling a little noisy. How could she be so talkative? No, she didn’t say anything. These were all her inner thoughts.

Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the room, Chu Lingxian completely relaxed, "Okay, it worked, she made it."

Lu Nanyin came back to her senses and saw that the door was opened. Su Liyue came out, stretched, and told them the good news with a smile.

Xia Xiaoxiao also came out. Her wounds were completely healed, the poison was eliminated, her meridians were repaired, and she looked completely reborn and full of energy.

Although Chu Lingxian was happy, he still felt some pain in his lower back and was in a low mood.

Seeing her like this, Lu Nanyin knew what she was thinking and changed the subject, "So what do you want to eat tonight? Just treat it as a simple gathering. You won't see each other for dinner these days."

Su Liyue smiled and said, "Do you have anything to eat?"

"Then it depends on what you want to eat. We raise chickens and ducks in the backyard, and there's a small river nearby where you can catch small fish and shrimps, as well as fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms."

After Lu Nanyin finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Lingxian.

Feeling her gaze, Chu Lingxian thought for a moment and said, "Small fish and shrimp?"

"Yeah! Do you want to catch it? I'll take you there!"

Chu Lingxian nodded, and Lu Nanyin went to the tool room and got two baskets, giving one to Chu Lingxian.

Su Liyue and Xia Xiaoxiao discussed it for a while, "Then let's go pick bamboo shoots and mushrooms."

"Okay, be careful, the road on the mountain is slippery, don't walk too far." Lu Nanyin handed them two backpacks and told them about the situation on the mountain.

The four of them set off to different places. On the way to the river, Lu Nanyin kept telling Chu Lingxian about what happened on the mountain, such as finding a nest of hedgehogs on the mountain, and seeing a little squirrel that came to the bamboo house to steal food...

Chu Lingxian became curious after listening to what she said, as she had never seen these before.

After a while, they saw the stream. Chu Lingxian felt better unconsciously as he looked at the clear river.

Lu Nanyin took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, walked quietly into the water, and slowly approached a fish.

When it wasn't paying attention, I grabbed it, held its tail with one hand and pinched its gills with the other hand, then immediately rushed to the shore, put the fish into the fish basket, with a satisfied smile on my face.

Chu Lingxian did not go into the river, but sat by the river and watched her. The main reason was that Lu Nanyin did not let her go, saying that her injury had not healed yet and she was afraid she would be sick or something like that. There was nothing she could do. She did not want to listen to her nagging, so she had to sit by the river and watch her scoop up the fish one by one and put them in the basket.

"Lu Nanyin, where is the downstream of this river?"

"Ah? Downstream? I don't know, but looking at the map, it seems to flow into the sea along with several other rivers."

"Got it, thank you."

Chu Lingxian used the mermaid clan's exclusive magic to write a letter in the water, which slowly drifted away along the current.

After catching about three or four fish, Lu Nanyin also approached the shore and scattered a bag of things into the water.

"what is this?"

"This is the favorite food of river shrimps. When they gather here later, we can catch shrimps."

Chu Lingxian blinked as she watched her holding a branch, tying a thin line with shrimp food on it, and sitting on the shore to start fishing for shrimps.

After fishing for a while, there were four or five fish in the basket.

Lu Nanyin handed the pole to Chu Lingxian, "Do you want to try it?"

Chu Lingxian took the pole and was a little at a loss, so Lu Nanyin began to teach her step by step.

When Chu Lingxian caught the first shrimp, he smiled happily. He had never had such an experience in the sea before. He knew about fishing and sea fishing before, but he didn't expect that shrimp could be caught. He thought he could only use a net to catch them.

Gradually, Chu Lingxian became proficient at it, and Lu Nanyin made another pole for herself. The two of them sat on the river bank, talking in low voices while staring at their poles.

An hour passed, and the two baskets were almost full. The two packed up and went back. When they were almost at the bamboo house, they met Su Liyue and Xia Xiaoxiao. They were carrying baskets full of fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms. It was great. They could have a good meal in the evening. The only pity was that the two jars of wine that Master had buried in the bamboo forest were gone. I didn't know if they were ready or not. Forget it. I'll know when I go down and see.

They returned to the yard, and Lu Nanyin caught another chicken and prepared it to make soup.

Several people washed and cut various ingredients. Among the four, only Lu Nanyin knew how to cook. There was no other way, so she had to be the one cooking.

Xia Xiaoxiao was sitting in the yard, watching Lu Nanyin cooking, smelling the fragrance of the food, and she was already starting to swallow her saliva.

Chu Lingxian helped her watch the fire while talking to her.

"Before, I was not as tall as this stove, so I had a small stool for myself. I always stood on the stool and watched my grandmother cook. Later, I tried to cook by myself. The first time I cooked, the color, aroma and taste were all gone."

"You are amazing. I have tried to stir-fry vegetables before, but the finished product was just a piece of charcoal."

"Haha, me too. I heated up two steamed buns and forgot the time. In the end, the buns were white on the outside but on fire on the inside..."
