Ye Qiu hung his clothes on the bamboo pole and used a bamboo racket to discount the dust on it, which could originally be washed a little with the water after bathing, but now the water can only be used for eating, drinking and irrigation, because the weather is dry, the clothes are also much cleaner with a pat.

"May I ask if this is Chu Ying's family?" Ye Qiu looked out and saw a strong man knocking on the door, looking a little familiar, as if he had come to deliver something before.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Young master, that's right, I remember, you still don't believe it, come down. Girl, can this car be driven in? Ye Qiu opened the gate and helped push the carriage in, the carriage was quite heavy, and he didn't know how many people were sitting in it.

"What about Chu Ying?" Lu Ming got out of the carriage and looked around, looked at Chu Ying's paper-making equipment, and looked at the looks, but he didn't see Chu Ying's people.

Ye Qiu looked at this son with a somewhat familiar face, dressed gorgeously, and full of extravagance in his gestures, although he looked only a teenager, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at it a few times as soon as he entered the door.

"She rested in the woods, she was tired these days, and she took medicine and went to sleep there."

"Sleeping in the grove?" Lu Ming knew that Chu Ying was informal, but she actually slept in the woods, which was too unreliable, what if she was bitten by some insects.

"Yes, I'll take you there, sit in this little brother, and drink some water." Ye Qiu put away the clothes and put them in the kitchen first, and when he saw that there was still a servant here, he didn't lock the door, and poured some water from the clay pot into the bowl.

"Black charcoal, move things down and see if there are people around first. The girl will lead the way. Ye Qiu watched as Black Charcoal carried a large sack down, and he didn't know what was inside.

Before he got closer, Lu Ming saw Chu Ying wearing a short top and rolled-up pants, and she was lying on the wooden bed like a spider, and she could still be heard chirping when she walked in.

Ye Qiu hurriedly pulled the thin quilt onto Chu Ying's body, and the kid lifted the quilt aside, although it was hot now, it would not be good for this person who showed his arms and legs to get cold when he got cold.

"I'll come, you can get busy." Lu Ming sat next to Chu Ying and looked at her quietly, looking at her slightly frowning brows and pouting mouth, the originally fleshy little face was now a little thinner.

Chu Ying turned over and kicked Lu Ming, groaning in pain, and really opened his eyes to see that Lu Ming was touching his ass, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Why are you here? I'm asleep sitting here by yourself, and I'm in pain when you kick me that can't be counted as mine. Chu Ying sat up and rubbed her calves.

"I sold some paper before, and now it's selling better, and this day I see that the rice in the field is drooping my head, and I'm afraid that you won't have anything to eat to starve to death, so I spent silver to buy some grain, and there is still half a tael of silver left, so the black charcoal is moving."

"Why does it sell better on a hot day?" Chu Ying moved out of a position and slept next to it, so that Lu Ming had a bigger place to sit.

"Qualified people originally had to bathe after going to the toilet, but now there is so much lack of water, and it is much easier to use this paper, and there is no water when it is so hot this day, but fortunately you have done a lot before. When the time comes, I will give you the money, and I will not feel good on this hot day, and the food will be enough for you to eat for a while. ”

Chu Ying came to her senses when she heard that there was food, "The price of rice should not be cheap now." ”

"Fortunately, you forgot that my family is a business that sells rice, and now the farmers still have grain in stock, but if the drought continues, there will not be much harvest in the autumn harvest today, I am afraid that there will be no wheat planted in the spring next year, so it will be difficult next year, and the price of rice will rise much next year, and now my father is still harvesting grain."

Chu Ying looked at the fine sweat on Lu Ming's forehead, a big family like Lu Ming naturally had a lot of grain at home, so there was no need for Chu Ying to worry.

"Let's go back after eating here, it's very hot now, and you're going to sweat again, and now there's no water for you to wash every day." Lu Ming glanced at Chu Ying coldly and then got up and walked out of the woods, "What do you have to eat at home?" ”

"Of course you want to see some meat when you come, and the roast rabbit will be served." Chu Ying folded the quilt and ran to find Ye Qiu, and by the way, she took a look at the food that Lu Ming said.

However, Chu Ying looked around for a long time and didn't see the grain, "Don't look at it, in the attic, that little brother helped move it up, I killed two rabbits, and then see if there are any bigger fish in the pool, why don't you take that son around, and call you when the meal is ready." ”

"Eun." Chu Ying looked at Lu Ming, who had not yet come out of the grove, and went back to look for him, and saw that he was looking at the pine trees and sumac trees that had been scratched by himself.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, you're pretty good. These trees are some years old. Lu Ming leaned his hands behind his back and walked in the grove, looking at the pile of rotten wood that Chu Ying had piled up, there were not many fungi on it.

Out of the grove is a bamboo forest, and then the ramie looks like it has just been cut, it is not very tall, this ramie is a drought-tolerant plant, it will not die in this drought, but it grows more slowly.

"I'll take you to see the rabbits, but now I've eaten some, plus there are more than 20 newborns, and I don't know if I can survive it then, otherwise I'll have to kill and eat them."

"Rabbits are not easy to raise." When Lu Ming saw the rabbit, he reached out and hugged a little rabbit that was a little older in his arms, and fed it with the hay next to him, "It's okay, the water grass and the house should be clean." ”

"I'll collect your rabbit when the time comes, this rabbit fur is still quite easy to sell in winter. Especially the solid colors, these ones are pretty good. Seeing that Lu Ming couldn't put it down, he didn't know whether to send him a few, thank him for sending food all the way over.

"How many would I like to give you?" Hearing Chu Ying say this, Lu Ming hurriedly put the rabbit down, wiped his hands with the handkerchief, and looked at Chu Ying with disgust.

"No, this little thing is dirty, I don't have time to look at it, I don't need to." Seeing Lu Ming arrogantly walking away, Chu Ying pointed to Lu Ming's sleeve and shouted, "You have rabbit urine on your sleeve, look at it." ”

Lu Ming picked up his sleeves in a panic and looked at it, he couldn't see the clothes but he didn't want to ask, so he could only walk with his hands in hand.

"I lied to you, look at your stinky face. It's time to eat. Lu Ming glared at Chu Ying, who was walking to the kitchen, and really wanted to pick up the soil poop and throw it at her.

This lunch is still quite good, but Lu Ming didn't eat much, and paddled his stomach a little, a few rabbits here are the main source of Chu Ying's meat, but you can't let Chu Ying be too expensive just because she came.

After the meal, several people took a break in the grove, "Your grove is quite good, it's cooler than outside, black charcoal, and then build a small bed like this in the small bamboo forest at home." ”

Although Chu Ying had taken medicine in the past few days, she was still a little weak, so she fell asleep, and when she woke up, Lu Ming had already left.

"Young Master Lu left when it was a little cooler, and when he left, he shouted that the goods were taken away, and the black charcoal was still filled with straw in the sack, and it was very difficult to carry it, this Young Master Lu is quite caring." Ye Qiu took out the winter clothes and dried them, and added some materials to the clothes, Chu Ying grew taller, and the original winter clothes would definitely not be able to be worn in winter.
