"Commander Kong!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Xiao Jinheng rotated his starry eyes and, with a stern little face, ordered, "Go to Gou Gou Lake and catch some toads!"
Kong Xingzhuo: "......"
"Little Master, you have chickenpox now. Isn't it bad to eat anything fishy?"
Fishy items and eggs are considered "fàwù" (foods that can aggravate illness).
If one has boils or pustules, eating these can easily cause them to erupt.
Little Xi Tian also advised him, "No roasted toads, it will worsen your condition!~"
This naughty boy thinks of one thing after another.
This morning, her second brother caught half a bucket of toads by the lake.
If the little boy wanted to eat them, she could bring him some.
But with chickenpox, one must be treated properly and must not eat anything fishy or spicy.
Xiao Jinheng stared at Little Xi Tian, lost in thought, "Little village girl, who did you learn your medical skills from?"
As far as he knew, there wasn't a single doctor in Da Shui Village.
The Yun family also didn't have any doctors.
Could the little village girl have learned it in her dreams?
"I learned it from reading!~" Little Xi Tian said in a milky voice.
She couldn't possibly say that she had been a veterinarian in her previous life!
How could she administer injections and prescribe medicine for livestock without understanding some pharmacology?
Moreover, she came from a family of doctors, and from childhood, she was exposed to it. Minor illnesses and ailments were naturally not a problem.
Xiao Jinheng didn't quite believe it. "What book did you read?"
"I forgot!~"
"Hmph, you're lying!"
At such a young age, she had already learned to lie. What would she be like when she grew up?
Little Xi Tian: "......"
Granny Jin helped Xiao Jinheng apply the ointment.
After washing her hands, she carried a large lamb leg over.
"Little Master, Sweet Baby, since you can't eat roasted toads, then you can have roasted lamb leg instead!~"
Seeing this, Little Xi Tian's eyes sparkled.
Wow, roasted lamb leg.
It was her favorite!
"Grandma Jin is so kind!" Little Xi Tian beamed.
Kong Xingzhuo, with his keen eyesight, immediately went out to prepare the charcoal.
Granny Jin also busied herself with preparing the sauce and dipping ingredients.
"Little village girl, greedy and gluttonous, you're so useless!" Xiao Jinheng taunted.
Although he said this, he was actually very excited inside.
This was the first time he had eaten roasted meat with the little village girl.
Four years ago, the little village girl had roasted some corn here.
Due to his sudden asthma attack, he hadn't tasted the little village girl's cooking...
"Tch, if you don't want to eat it, then don't!~" Little Xi Tian gave him a sideways glance.
In any case, she wouldn't mistreat herself.
In the courtyard, Kong Xingzhuo had already set up a fire and threaded the entire lamb leg onto a bamboo skewer, roasting it slowly.
Moments later, a rich aroma of meat wafted out.
Little Xi Tian swallowed her saliva, squatted by the fire, her pretty little face filled with anticipation.
After an unknown amount of time, the large lamb leg was roasted to a crisp golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Drops of oil dripped down, hitting the charcoal and making a 'sizzling' sound.
Little Xi Tian was completely mesmerized by the roasted lamb leg.
Granny Jin smiled and picked up a knife, sliced off a piece of meat, and handed it to Little Xi Tian.
"Eat quickly!~"
Look at how hungry the child is, her mouth is watering...
"Thank you, Grandma Jin!~"
Little Xi Tian sat on a wooden stool, holding the roasted meat with both little hands, her eyes squinting from the deliciousness.
It was so tasty.
She would treat the whole family to a roasted whole lamb another day.
With cattle and sheep filling the hills in her space, she could casually bring a fat sheep to roast for the whole family for an entire day.
Seeing her eat so contentedly, Xiao Jinheng felt a mischievous urge.
He quietly stepped forward and snatched the roasted meat from Little Xi Tian's hand.
With a wicked grin, he said, "Little village girl, tell me where you came from, and I'll give you the meat!~"
This question had been bothering him for a long time.
The dead girl refused to confess.
It was driving him crazy.
Little Xi Tian said with a look of innocence, "Of course, I came from next door!~"
You brat, snatching her roasted meat.
Shameless!
Xiao Jinheng curved his lips into a shallow smile, "Of course, I know you came from next door, but before that?"
The dead girl had incredible abilities, very strange.
Not only could she drive away rat infestations, but she could also kill earth dragons, fight wild wolves, and escape from a crowd of bad guys.
This was no longer a matter of luck.
She was clearly a monster...
Little Xi Tian thought for a moment and said, "My mother told me that our family fled here from Fei Yan Village. "
You brat, always digging for information.
Xiao Jinheng was not interested in the Yun family's experience fleeing famine.
He continued to ask, "And before fleeing?"
Little Xi Tian: "......"
She had just been born before fleeing!
"Xiao Jinheng, your question is too profound, I can't answer it!~"
Where do people come from, where do they go, what is the meaning of life...
These are all within the scope of philosophy. Her brain capacity is not enough, and she doesn't want to delve into it.
Xiao Jinheng swallowed the half-piece of roasted meat he had snatched.
He even smacked his lips, "Wow, it's delicious, too bad a certain little village girl can't eat it!~"
Little Xi Tian: You're so childish!
She leaned close to Xiao Jinheng's ear and chuckled, "Naughty boy, if you don't give me meat, I'll tell Governor Chen and Inspector Qin about you hiding the agarwood!~"
This is what they call "one thing conquers another."
You want to control me? No way.
Xiao Jinheng's expression changed, and he reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense! I confiscated the agarwood because I didn't want it to fall into the hands of bad people."
Dead girl, daring to blackmail him.
He didn't lack money now, so what use was that agarwood to him?
Wasn't it all for solving the case and preventing those bad people from succeeding?
Little Xi Tian knew that the brat wouldn't engage in corruption.
She purely wanted to tease him.
"Alas, if this baby gets hungry, I might say anything!~"
Little Xi Tian rubbed her little belly, her big eyes fixed on the roasted lamb leg.
Xiao Jinheng couldn't help but chuckle and personally cut a piece of meat for her.
"Hmph, you'll end up a little fat pig sooner or later."
He rolled the roasted meat in the dipping sauce and placed it in Little Xi Tian's bowl.
At this moment, Kong Xingzhuo hurried over, "Little Master, Inspector Qin is here to visit. He is waiting outside!~"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinheng said calmly, "Let him in!"
"Yes."
Moments later, Inspector Qin walked in with a large bag of gifts.
He had two things to do in Da Shui Village today.
First, to pay a visit to the little prince.
Second, to find Little Xi Tian and ask about the silver hairpin.
Who would have thought that these two young masters would both be here?
And they were eating roasted meat together, bickering from time to time.
The moment he saw Xiao Jinheng, Inspector Qin's face stiffened, and he was filled with trepidation.
He... was indeed that little prince.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to..."
"Hmm?"
Before Inspector Qin could kneel, Xiao Jinheng shot him a look.
No kneeling!
Inspector Qin paused his movement and quickly understood Xiao Jinheng's intention.
"I smelled a scent of meat outside the courtyard, and I didn't expect you to be roasting lamb legs here. You two young masters really know how to enjoy yourselves!~"
Inspector Qin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unsure of what to say.
Xiao Jinheng withdrew his gaze and continued to cut meat for Little Xi Tian, "Sit!"
"Yes, yes!"
Inspector Qin sat down with a smile and then looked at Little Xi Tian...
