Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 123 - This Child

The trickling rain had long stopped but Su Wan and Lin Jing who were ahem too busy didn't notice , thus once they dressed themselves properly and walked out of the cave in which they had taken shelter , they saw that the reeds surrounding the small pond were dripping wet as water droplets fell down from their fluffy soft heads and disturbed the once tranquil ponds which was full of coontails .

Su Wan tied the bucket of flowers behind her back and Lin Jing toon the ginseng , he wrapped it carefully before keeping it inside his shirt . But because Su Wan had collected too much flowers , Lin Jing had to stuff some of them in his own bucket that was carrying wood for the dining table top .

Lin Jing wanted to catch some rabbits before leaving so he had left a bait in his hand made traps but because of the rain the bait was washed away , in the end Lin Jing had to redo everything and that took a little more of their time , it wasn't Lin Jing 's fault though after rain many animal had taken shelter in their burrows and caves , it took almost an hour before? a rabbit poked his head out and left his burrow in search of food , unluckily the rabbit was caught in one of Lin Jing's trap and was butchered right then and there .

The mist surrounding the mountain had taken a turn for the worst and now the entire mountain tip seemed to be submerged in a water cloud rather than enveloped by a dense mist , Lin Jing had to carry Su Wan on his back because the mist was so thick it almost looked impenetrable .

Su Wan who had been enjoying the warm camp fire and Lin Jing's warmth , shivered as the cold air brushed past her toasty and warm face , though she got what she wanted , she wasn't sure if she liked coming to the mountains . The cold and rough air slapping against her face and the dew that was being accumulated in her cotton padded jacket as they walked past the wet ferns and weeds , she couldn't help but nuzzle her face in the crook of Lin Jing 's neck , her breath skimming over his skin .

Luckily , Lin Jing was used to walking these path and knew that he couldn't afford to take a risk here , so he steeled himself and didn't shudder as he walked down the mountain terrain .

Su Wan was only responsible of carrying the flowers and rabbit meat but Lin Jing was the one who carrying the majority of their hunt including Su Wan , with such a heavy load it wasn't surprising that Lin Jing actually had to expend a lot of energy to cross the mountain range that had always been really easy for him to pass through .

" you can let me down , Jing ge " noticing the thin layer of sweat that was coating Lin Jing 's forehead , Su Wan couldn't help but ask him to let her go , the mountain trail was getting easier to walk and she didn't think that there was any reason for Lin Jing to keep carrying her . However , Lin Jing shook his head but then he remembered the lesson Su Wan taught him in the cave and his throat suddenly felt a little dry , he coughed and said "one should not be careless. This place isn't a place where ferocious animal might come but sometimes villagers still encounter a wild boar and dog here , I heard from Old Zhao that he was once bitten by a dog here, better be careful "

Su Wan heard Lin Jing 's answer and nodded at the same time she felt bewildered that Lin Jing said so much , looks like Lin Jing was quite a chatter box when he was young . Her guess was almost right , Lin Jing was indeed a chatter box but he only liked talking with people whom he was close to , with people whom he couldn't be bothered with , he only spoke a single word .

Lin Jing didn't know what Su Wan was thinking about instead his entire attention was on the mountain trail , with Su Wan on his back and the ginseng in his front , Lin Jing couldn't afford to make mistake and stumble down . If Su Wan fell , then his heart would hurt and if the ginseng fell out of his clothes and fell on the ground ending up getting scratched , his pocket will hurt , so he kept concentrating on the mountain trail to keep his footing stable .

Su Wan couldn't get down from Lin Jing 's back even though she liked being pampered she couldn't help but worry about her future , if her husbands keep spoiling her like this who know how inflated her head might become ah ! Thus , Su Wan who was trying to keep herself grounded didn't know when Lin Jing brought the two of them to their house .

At home , Lin Rui was inside his room studying, the entrance exams were getting closer and closer , so Lin Rui had been preparing his best to pass if? he ends up failing , he will really be wasting his brothers hard earned money and disappoint his wife .

Lin Chen was chopping firewood and Lin Yan wasn't back from town yet and Lin Yu was darning old clothes in the courtyard . While mother Lin seemed to be sipping on her medicine .

When mother Lin saw that his son and daughter in law have finally returned , she couldn't help but look at the sky and the stare fiercely at Lin Jing " this child ah ! Lin Jing your wings have really hardened haven't they ? You actually dared to take Wan Wan to the mountain , didn't you say that you will only take Wan Wan to the winds at the foot of the? mountain ? What would have you done if something went wrong ?do you have any idea how worried mother and your brothers had been ? ah Yu has been looking at the front door ever since the evening shower came , and Rui Rui has been peering out of his room as well - and don't even get me started on Ah Chen if I didn't stop him , he would have rushed to the mountain to find you two himself !"
