Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 292 Yu Xilin is dead...

Lin Xiao opened his eyes with difficulty, and what came into view was a magnified human face.

"what!"

A scream burst out from Lin Xiao's throat, she pushed the face away, and then jumped to the side.

The man also stood up, and asked slightly sadly:

"Don't you recognize me?"

Lin Xiao widened his eyes, stared at the man in front of him in shock, and immediately realized:
"Esther!"

Seeing that Lin Xiao recognized him, Esther showed a relieved smile:

"Thank's God, You haven't forgotten me!"

"Where's Yu Xilin? Where is he? Did you rescue him too?"

Lin Xiao didn't see Yu Xilin's figure, so he was very anxious, and uneasy emotions came to his heart instantly.

Esther shook her head sadly:

"After he put you on board, he was swallowed by the sea."

"Oh no!"

Lin Xiao clutched his chest with a sad face, and clear tears flowed down from his eyes.

She didn't expect Yu Xilin to leave like this...

Lin Xiao had a painful look on his face, his eyes darkened, and he passed out again
When she woke up again, it was already dark.

A dim oil lamp illuminated the cabin dimly. Through the faint light, Lin Xiao saw Esther leaning on the bed with a tired face and falling asleep, while the others were hugging and sleeping on the deck.

Lin Xiao got up slowly, walked to the door of the cabin, looked at the sea view in the distance through the wooden window, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

After all, Yu Xilin couldn't escape the engulfing of the sea, and finally died at the bottom of the sea.

Recalling Yu Xilin's handsome and lovely face, her mood was extremely complicated.

Since the two met, Yu Xilin has become Lin Xiao's little follower. The two play together every day, bicker together, and compete for delicious food and drink together.
They used to spend that time carefree, but such days are over after all.

Yu Xilin died.
Lin Xiao's eyes were moist again, tears couldn't help but slipped down and dripped on the wooden railing. If possible, she would rather never travel to another world.

She wanted Yu Xilin to be alive, safe and sound, free from disease and disaster!

"How are you?"

At some point, Esther was already standing beside Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head, and smiled at Esther:
"It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"Don't you blame us?"

Esther looked guilty.

"What are you to blame?"

"We didn't rescue Young Master Yu."

"It's not your fault, you have tried your best, if you want to blame it, blame the culprit!"

Lin Xiao said angrily.

My lord, you ungrateful villain!I will never let you go!

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't mean to blame at all, Esther's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He took Lin Xiao to a small room in the cabin, and opened all the boxes inside:

"Look, this is our trophy!"

Lin Xiao looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and was shocked:
"These... are all earned from this trip?"

"Ok!"

Esther nodded triumphantly:

"Salt, tea, porcelain, lip balm and soap are very popular in Japan, and they are all sold out!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Xiao thanked him sincerely, but his eyes were dazzled by the thing Esther wore around his neck.

"What are you wearing around your neck?"

"This one?"

Esther took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to Lin Xiao with a sly look on her face:
"This is a gift from the prime minister!"

"The prime minister of the Wa Kingdom?"

"The prime minister of our Great Xia Dynasty! He originally wanted me to give this big pearl to Her Majesty the Queen."

From Wang Tuo?

Lin Xiao carefully looked at the pearl in his hand. Not only was it white all over, but it also had an amber-like color, which looked extraordinary at first glance. Not only that, but it was also engraved with complicated patterns and patterns, which looked very exquisite.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

Lord!

Lin Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering that in the underground palace of the Ming Dynasty, she had seen such a pearl necklace hanging around the neck of the lord.

It's just that the lord's pearl necklace is fuller and rounder than this string!
Lin Xiao's expression became serious. Could it be that Wang Tuo is actually the lord's man?

Or is there some ulterior secret between the two of them?

"My God! He probably wants to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Lin Xiao exclaimed, startling Esther.

"What is anti-Qing and Fuming?"

"No, it's okay, this necklace is very valuable, you should treasure it well!"

Lin Xiao hurriedly stuffed the pearl necklace into Esther's collar, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, don't go out to sea for the time being. Find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life."

Esther nodded upon hearing this, agreeing to Lin Xiao's proposal.

"I think so too. These brothers of mine have suffered a lot across the ocean, and almost died in the storm several times. It's time to take a good rest."

Esther also nodded, eyes full of exhaustion.

"Have you thought about where to take them?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, Master Lin, do you have any good suggestions?"

Esther looked at Lin Xiao's profile and asked.

He has an inexplicable trust in Lin Xiao.

Not only because she can understand their language, but more importantly, she gave them the legal status of the Great Xia Dynasty and gave them a job!
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then said:
"My brother's workshop has already been taken over by the royal family. I'm afraid that the way of selling salt will not work in the future. Otherwise, you will go west with your lipo and soap when you go back, and you can go there to sell for a living."

Esther nodded, with anticipation in his eyes:

"Is it really okay? They...wouldn't treat us just because of our looks..."

Esther didn't go on talking. They received a lot of criticism because of their different appearance from those of the Great Xia Dynasty. The feeling of being discriminated against is really uncomfortable!
"Don't worry, there are a group of people over there who look similar to you, with high nose bridges, sunken eyes, white skin, and brown hair. They won't look at you differently."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Esther finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao, with deep trust in his blue eyes.

"Thank you Lin for your help! I, Esther, swear here that I will wholeheartedly promote your products!"

Lin Xiao looked at Esther's expression and felt warm in his heart.

His eyes are very pure, without any utilitarianism or greed, he is a trustworthy friend!
"I'll just take two boxes of what I got from this trip to Japan, and share the rest with your brothers as money to go to the west!"

"The five boxes are all ours? This... this is too much!"

Esther waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, with disbelief written all over her face.

"It's okay, don't shirk it, you deserve it!"

"...That's fine, I'll have the cheek to accept it for my brothers! Thank you, Master Lin!"

"Go and rest, I want to be alone."

Opening the hatch, Lin Xiao stepped onto the deck alone, looking at the sea covered by night, Yu Xilin's gentle appearance appeared in his mind, and a sense of guilt arose in his heart.
