But right now, these two people are the ones who have problems.
One is that the intelligence is inaccurate, and the other is that they don’t act according to the intelligence…
The little head that was looking down at the smoke suddenly raised up and stared at Zhang Liu, with a confused look in his eyes.
She couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Why……
Would Zhang Liu’s reaction be different from what Sister Wanying said?
She bit her lips hard, raised her head to look at the boy in front of her, and took a deep breath.
"Zhang Liu! Are you willing to be my husband?" With her back to the rising sun, she asked loudly, "Answer me right now!"
After saying this, Xiang Lingying looked at Zhang Liu without blinking, not wanting to miss any change in the other's facial expression.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who theoretically had no chance of having any contact with him, now seriously asking him whether he could be her husband, and demanding an immediate answer.
If he didn't know the real situation, Zhang Liu would feel that he was really amazing. He didn't do anything, but he could attract such a girl just by his charm.
But after knowing the other person's pressure and story, the first emotion that came into Zhang Liu's mind was no longer confusion or narcissistic ecstasy, but only heartache and pity.
Xiang Lingying is actually the same as himself. He has to bear tremendous pressure at a young age.
In fact, the pressure that the other party needs to bear is much greater than that of oneself.
After all, as the eldest brother in the family, he only needs to take care of his two younger sisters to relieve the pressure.
But as the heir of the Xiang family, Xiang Lingying needs to shoulder part of the responsibilities in the country's political arena. I am afraid that this concept has not been fulfilled.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Liu asked what was on his mind: "Xiang Lingying, before I answer you, can you answer a question for me first?"
He nodded slightly, looking at Lingying with a serious and sincere look, indicating that he would do his best to answer all questions.
"What is a husband in your heart?" Zhang Liu asked softly, looking at the other person's eyes which were as clear as a spring.
"Husband...that is...husband..." As she answered, there was a hint of hesitation in Xiang Lingying's eyes.
She knew that as the heir of the Xiang family, she was not suitable for taking on government responsibilities. The only thing she could do for her family was to try to have more children so that her father could choose one from them and raise him well.
This will maintain the Xiang family's position in the domestic political circle and prevent it from declining.
Therefore, Xiang Lingying has never considered what her future husband or boyfriend will be like. She only needs to refer to the opinions of her head maid.
Then marry the other party after your father agrees.
As for the quality of life after marriage, Xiang Lingying doesn't need to worry about it at all.
On the premise of protecting political status, one can get rid of the pain of having to give birth to a child personally.
In other respects she was able to enjoy the best treatment.
So when Xiang Wanying proposed to her that she wanted to recruit Zhang Liu as a potential boyfriend.
Xiang Lingying was very happy.
Because she has a crush on this boy.
Compared to marrying a stranger but qualified person, marrying Zhang Liu, who you like and meets the requirements, is the best choice.
But the question asked by the other party made Xiang Lingying unable to come up with a suitable reason, or he did not dare to say it.
She knew that the practice of "just having more children and then selecting the best heirs" was actually a form of oppression for future generations.
So Xiang Lingying was very worried that Zhang Liu would get angry if she said it rashly.
"Student Xiang Lingying, I have also heard about this from head maid Xiang Wanying." Zhang Liu looked at the girl who had fallen silent in front of him, and said in the most serious and gentle tone: "But for some reason, I can't answer your question directly now."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I lost my temper just now." After taking a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest, Xiang Lingying, who was already feeling guilty and didn't dare to face Zhang Liu, whispered: "Can you pretend that I didn't ask that question?"
After she finished speaking, in order to prevent the other party from seeing her guilty conscience, she followed her father's teachings and used a political speaking method of "pinching the gaps between nails to stimulate pain, so as to have a stern expression."
As the sharp pain in his fingertips came, Xiang Lingying's originally flustered expression quickly disappeared and turned into a stern and indifferent expression.
If Xiang Wanying was here, she would be able to see through at a glance that her eldest daughter was pretending to be indifferent, and then she would cooperate on the surface but actually be rolling on the ground laughing in her heart.
However, the person here now is Zhang Liu, so of course he can't see through Xiang Lingying's expression.
"Can you tell me which sentence it is?" Since he couldn't judge the other party's emotions, Zhang Liu could only ask tentatively.
Chapter 450: Adolescents are bound to encounter little wild boars...
Carefully observing the expression of the girl in front of him, Zhang Liu felt a little nervous as he asked.
If he really had a falling out with Xiang Lingying because of this, that would definitely be a scene he absolutely did not want to see.
Because Xiang Wanying promised to help with the Qin family's matter on the premise that Xiang Lingying would not become enemies with her.
"It's just... the word about my husband..." After hearing Zhang Liu ask like this and noticing that the other party looked a little nervous, Xiang Lingying's stern expression suddenly turned into panic.
Then she quickly whispered, "Can I change it to...will you be my friend?"
"Ah?" Zhang Liu was a little confused by Xiang Lingying's action.
He was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
Talking like this...
Classmate Xiang Lingying shouldn't be angry, right?
"But...is it okay?" Zhang Liu answered awkwardly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
Although I already knew from Xiang Wanying that Xiang Lingying had a more easy-going personality.
But he didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to. Even his angry expression didn't last more than a minute.
Before the danger, the number of communications between Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying was almost zero, and even the number of meetings was only five or six times in a year. They met by coincidences and they always passed by each other.
Xiang Wanying would deliberately stand beside her eldest daughter, so the distance between Zhang Liu and Xiang Lingying was at least one meter away. This was only possible because the corridors of the aristocratic school were relatively wide...
And now, even after being in danger, Zhang Liu seldom communicates with Xiang Lingying because he is not familiar with UC with Xiang Wanying as the middleman.
I'm afraid he talked more to the other party this morning than in the past two and a half years combined.
So now facing Xiang Lingying who was so easy to talk to, Zhang Liu was really at a loss.
"Well! It's settled! We'll be friends from now on!" He turned around and grabbed Zhang Liu's hand with his dark little hand, and said to Lingying seriously: "Don't change it!"
"Okay... okay." Looking at Xiang Lingying's dark little hand, Zhang Liu nodded slightly embarrassedly.
Following Zhang Liu's gaze, Xiang Lingying suddenly discovered that her hands, which were originally as white as jade, had now turned black from repeatedly touching smoked and roasted food.
Her face turned red and she quickly ran to the pool and started washing her hands.
Behind Xiang Lingying, Zhang Liu bent down, picked up the fire hammer, and prepared to set off.
The main reason why he acted alone was that today was January 1, 2023.
That is New Year’s Day, plus Anya’s birthday.
If he was in school, Zhang Liu should be on vacation now and could find a temporary job outside.
But now, he was preparing to raid the second beehive, which was the huge one above the wild boar's residence.
On the one hand, we collected sweet foods to enrich the menu for the girls.
The second aspect is to prepare a birthday gift for Anya.
I just glanced at it from a distance before.
But Zhang Liu also estimated that the beehive was at least one meter in size, which was about the same size as the beehive he killed by the river last time.
Picking up a handful of old man's whiskers and a flint from his backpack, Zhang Liu, with a red face, was about to explain that his hands were very white, waved to Lingying, and then walked away.
Behind him, Xiang Lingying, who had just washed his hands, had a look of disappointment on his face...
Although the conversation with Zhang Liu was a little awkward, she did not hate this awkwardness. Instead, she was secretly happy that she and the other party had something in common.
Walk up the natural slope next to it to the top of the mountain, and then go around to the west to the downhill point.
Soon Zhang Liu arrived at the place where she and Anya and others saw the wild boar's nest last time.
I looked at the three palm trees in front of me and the beehive above the pig nest from a distance.
Zhang Liu showed a bit of anticipation on his face. At present, he had almost collected all the food supplies for the long journey.
Taro can provide carbohydrates, lard for fat, and pork for protein.
Honey hives that support long-term storage and can serve as high-calorie food in emergencies are already in sight.
Now we just have to wait until the rainy season comes and solve the biggest problem of drinking water.
He could immediately set out to thoroughly investigate the jungle in front of him, and also go to the east and north where he had never been to to see if there were any other living companions.
However, Zhang Liu still understood the concept that a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step and that one must not get a stitch in the side during the last breath.
Instead of going straight up, he walked forward slowly.
He planned to carefully investigate the surrounding situation first, and then decide how to attack the hive.
As a result, as soon as he approached the wild boar's den, Zhang Liu saw three small wild boars the size of adult local dogs pushing aside the palm leaves covering the den and rushing out.
He subconsciously raised the fire hammer in his hand and took a defensive posture, and his mind was blocked.
Come to think of it... there are indeed three little wild boars that have escaped the net...
But I didn't expect these guys to return to their nest.
Among the three wild boars that came out, one was a male. When it saw Zhang Liu approaching, it made threatening sounds like "ji ji ji" and imitated the two brothers in the fence of the pool on the top of the mountain.
That is, it leaned its butt back against the tree, raised its head and exposed its two short fangs in an attacking posture.
The other two are probably females.
Because they have no teeth in their mouths, they are currently keeping their heads down, and it is unclear whether they are on guard or afraid.
When the three little wild boars discovered that the terrifying and huge creature that had killed their father yesterday had invaded their home, they were terrified and didn't know what to do, not even thinking of running away.
And if you encounter the three little wild boars who have killed their father alone, there is even the possibility of a skirmish.
Zhang Liu was also very panicked.
If it was a one-on-one situation, he would be able to kill a little wild boar without getting hurt.
But if it changes to three to one, the situation will be completely different.
To be honest, Zhang Liu didn't think he would be defeated with the fire hammer in hand.
But he was worried about getting injured. In such a hot and humid environment, he might get injured by a wild boar's mouth full of bacteria, or by a scratch by its tusks...
The consequences would be extremely serious!
"What, what, what..." The little wild boar, whose legs were shaking, kept making threatening sounds.
But it has already clearly determined that it cannot defeat the terrifying creature in front of it, so it can only act according to its instinct.
"Ah!" Seeing that the enemy seemed to be bluffing, Zhang Liu recalled his previous method of dealing with wolves. He kept waving the fire hammer in his hand, and then he began to roar wildly.
Suddenly, roars echoed in the empty forest.
Accompanied by waves of echoes, the sound made by Zhang Liu was definitely much more frightening than the mere "clack clack" sound of the little wild boar.
Chapter 451: The "Vicious Suggestion" from the Head Maid of the Xiang Family
It was exactly the best outcome Zhang Liu had imagined.
After he began his intimidating roar, the three wild boars began to tremble and shake continuously.
The little wild boar's head, which had been held high, subconsciously lowered, and the threatening sounds became even fainter.
After a few minutes of stalemate, a female wild boar ran away with its tail raised in a strange downward arc.
The other two, one male and one female, also ran away in the same posture.
This scene made Zhang Liu, who was standing far away, a little confused. He originally thought that these wild boars would run away with their tails between their legs.
The result was that half of the tail was hanging down, blocking the important anus, while the other half of the tail was raised up.
However, after the wild boar left, Zhang Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, if the little wild boar had been more aggressive, he would have retreated.
The threat of wild boars has come to an end. Next, we need to deal with the beehive and obtain the huge amount of honey stored in it!
