Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 45

Change face

Although there were some minor accidents, all the rules and etiquette that should be followed during a winter hunt cannot be omitted.

It started at the beginning of Mao hour and ended at the end of Si hour. It took three full hours to complete all the steps.After completing the rules, the last ritual before the winter hunt begins is a sacrificial ceremony to the mountain god.

Xiao Ming stood at the head of the crowd and took the lead in offering incense to show God.Afterwards, everyone knelt down and thanked him.

Joey was too tired to speak. He followed everyone and knelt down to the altar in front of him like a machine, and then watched the actions of the people in front of him with a dull face.

“What’s wrong?” Lou Ling asked after noticing something was wrong with Joey.

Joey’s face was expressionless, “It’s nothing.” Fortunately, when his parents asked him to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and worship gods, he didn’t bother to go. Otherwise, if it happened like this once a year, he would really be ruined.

But how could Lou Ling not see what Joey was thinking? He turned to look at Xiao Ming above, as if explaining to Joey, and said: “This is the last scene. After the end, there will be a luncheon. After the end, at around three quarters, the winter hunt will officially begin.”

“…” Joey: “Oh.” It’s none of his business. He can’t even shoot an arrow, and he’s still hunting. He can hunt prey.

Sometimes Joey really envied Hei Pa for being able to stay in the capital.It would be great if he could be like Heipa, being carefree every day, eating when he wakes up, and sleeping after eating.

Hearing Joey’s obvious emotions, Lou Ling turned her head and glanced at Joey again.

After a while, Joey felt someone touching him next to him.

Joey lowered his head and saw a hand as white as jade handed to him, with a candy on it.

“?”

Joey looked up along the hand and happened to see Lou Ling’s slightly upward peach blossom eyes.

“Eat a piece of candy first.” Lou Ling didn’t waste any time. He opened the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Joey’s mouth. “The time of the sacrificial ceremony is not fixed every year.”

Joey opened his mouth subconsciously.

Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Joey pushed the candy with his tongue, pushed it aside, puffed up his cheeks, and said to Lou Ling, “Thanks.”

Perhaps because God cares for its people, the incense offered burns extra quickly this year.

When Joey finished the candy, the sacrificial ceremony finally ended.

When everyone stood up and left, Joey still knelt there and did not respond.

Lou Ling lowered her head and looked at Joey, seemingly puzzled, “Aren’t you going to get up?”

“Well…” Joey looked up at Lou Ling, feeling very embarrassed, “My legs are numb… I can’t stand up.”

“…”

Lou Ling was helpless and stretched out her hand.

Joey put his hands up and tried to stand up with Lou Ling’s strength.

But Joey still underestimated his own weight. He barely grasped Lou Ling with his hand, and he almost fell to the ground.

“Ah!”

Joey closed his eyes and cursed in his mind, Fuck!

However, Lou Ling obviously knew what was going to happen next better than Joey. The moment before Joey landed, he reached out and hugged him, avoiding a close contact between Joey and the ground.

Joey subconsciously put his hand on Lou Ling’s shoulder, “Fuck! You scared me to death!”

Neither of them noticed that they were almost hugging each other at this moment.To others, Joey’s head rested on Lou Ling’s shoulder, which seemed unusually close.

Jiang Xu just stood up from the ground and rushed towards Joey’s position. However, the joy on his face disappeared instantly when he saw Joey and Lou Ling hugging each other. His whole body froze and his hand stopped in mid-air.

“What are you doing? What’s the matter?” After the numbness in his legs subsided, Joey stood up straight, jumped on the spot a few times, and wanted to turn in a circle, but before he could turn halfway, he saw Jiang Xu, who was stunned in place not far away.

Jiang Xu shook his head blankly.

Joey didn’t think much about it. He simply forgot about what happened yesterday and said casually: “I’ll leave first if it’s okay.”

“Wait a minute…” Looking at Joey’s back as he turned around and left, Jiang Xu subconsciously shouted, leaving the man behind.

Joey turned around, his eyes full of vigilance. What did this man want to do?

Lou Ling also glanced at Jiang Xu, took a careless step to the side with her hands behind her back, and stood behind Joey.

“No…” Jiang Xu waved his hand and explained frantically, “I don’t mean to pester you. I really didn’t know that you and Crown Prince Rong Hua had this kind of relationship before.”

If he hadn’t gone back and chatted with his sister all night, Jiang Xu wouldn’t have known that his companion in the capital could do this.

Joey’s head was filled with questions, “What are you talking about?”

Jiang Xu didn’t answer the question and said to himself: “I don’t like studying, but my father always forces me to study. I originally wanted to find a study companion who is poor in studies or at the same level as me and doesn’t like studying, but then my father can’t keep complaining about my poor study. But I really didn’t know that besides being Lou Ling’s study companion, you two have this kind of relationship. I was reckless and ignorant before, so I am here to apologize to you two. I’m sorry.”

“?” Joey understood, but seemed not to understand.But when he heard the sentence “I’m sorry,” he subconsciously replied, “It’s okay.”

When Lou Ling heard this, he tilted his head slightly.

When Jiang Xu heard Joey’s answer, he was very happy, “Since you have forgiven me, can we be friends? I told my father that I don’t want to accompany you to study. Can I follow you and Prince Rong Hua. My sister is studying in a women’s school. I don’t know anyone in Taixue, and no one will accompany me.”

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, which seemed a little pitiful.

Joey hesitated for a moment. He felt that it wasn’t impossible, as long as it didn’t bother him.So Joey responded: “That’s okay…”

“No.” Lou Ling refused unceremoniously.

Jiang Xu: “Why? You are not Joey. You can’t just make decisions for Joey just because of your relationship, right?”

Joey turned his head and looked at Lou Ling.

Lou Ling lowered her head, put her hand on Joey’s shoulder, and said with a slight pressure, “Do you think it’s okay?”

Joey turned around and said without any hesitation this time, “No.”

“Why?!” Jiang Xu didn’t want to, “Can I not let you be my brother-in-law? We will just be friends, and it won’t hinder the relationship between you and Lou Ling.”

“…”

My sister’s bastard husband, how old is he and how old is your sister? Have you asked your sister if she is willing?

Joey tried not to roll his eyes at Jiang Xu, “If it doesn’t work, it won’t work. There are so many reasons.”

“Wow!” Jiang Xu seemed to be extremely aggrieved, tears bursting out of his eyes.

There were some people around who hadn’t finished walking and looked over when they heard the movement.

After noticing the gazes of the people around him, Jiang Xu was shocked to realize that he had cried in front of so many people. He was very embarrassed. Before Joey could speak again, he covered his face and ran away.

Only Joey, who looked confused, and Lou Ling, who was calm and composed, were left.

“I…” Joey couldn’t believe it and turned around and asked, “Did I say something too extreme?”

After so long, this was the first time he saw Jiang Xu cry. He had fought with him so many times in Taixue before, but he had never seen him cry out in pain, so he cried this time?Crying so easily?Just because he doesn’t want to be friends with him?

Lou Ling disagreed, “Just cry, it’s not a big deal.”

Joey: “Will he say that I bullied him when he goes back?”

Lou Ling: “It doesn’t matter, it’s not the first time anyway.”

“…”

When Joey thought about it, it seemed like the same thing, and he stopped worrying, “Okay.”

At worst, I’d better apologize to him next time I see him.

“Let’s go.” Lou Ling held up Joey’s collar, “The luncheon will start later. Go back and change your clothes first.”

Joey’s neck was strangled, and he punched Lou Ling without thinking, “How many times have I told you not to grab my collar? It’s so strangled!”

Lou Ling: “Who made you so short?”

“Is that what I thought?” Facing Lou Ling, Joey rolled his eyes very skillfully, and said without missing a beat, “If I had your living conditions since I was a child, I would definitely be taller than you.”

Lou Ling: “So every time I ask you to eat more, you have to be picky about food. Can you blame me for this?”

“I don’t want it.” Joey’s living standard in his previous life was not bad. In the beginning, he didn’t have the capital to be picky about food. But now that he is qualified to be picky in this world, of course he will not compromise himself.

“Let’s go.” Lou Ling rubbed Joey’s head, “Today’s lunch has roasted whole lamb, whatever you like.”

“Really?” Joey was not polite at all. He slapped Lou Ling’s hand on his head away and asked with side eyes as he walked.

“The food at the Winter Hunting Banquet is no worse than that in the palace, and many of them are what you like to eat.”

“That’s good. Is there any fruit?”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Grapes? Apples? If not, oranges will do.”

“Both.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Hurry up then! I’m almost starving to death!”

“…”
