Chapter 154: Invitation
This time, all the crops in the field died overnight, and all the symptoms pointed to man-made traces, so Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Yishou discussed it, and decided to hire a few people to build an outer wall with mud and water mixed with rubble on the periphery of the land in Yinpan, leaving only a gate for people to enter and exit.
The land on the silver plate is very large, but the wall is not a difficult and elaborate building, as long as it is strong, so it was built for a few days, only a gate remains, and everything else is already good.
Because he was afraid that the hired people would be unreliable, he sprinkled the antidote in the field and the wall had not been built in the past few days, Lu Yishou was worried that it would be destroyed again, so he asked Qinglang to keep watch in the field step by step, and even asked Datian to send it to the field for him to eat. These days, he eats alone in the fields, sleeps in simple little shabby houses, and lives like a wild man. If there is a little luck, fortunately, Sunny is not a chatter, such a lonely life with no one to talk to, at least he should not be bored.
This can't be blamed on Lu Yishou, and it is understandable that he made such a decision.
There are too few men in the Lu family, except for Lu Yishou, the only one who is sunny is still a foreign surname. After he came back from that hangover that day, he has been busy contacting the patrons of the capital to discuss the follow-up matters, although a large number of crops in the field have died, but there are still some left, although there are not many left, but they must also be taken to the capital to dispose of, this time the loss is too big, and now he can recover a little is a little.
In addition to buying and selling, there is also the matter of compensation, I almost drank before I reluctantly talked about the compensation to 300 taels, Lu Yishou has made a lot of money in recent years, yes, but the money is either used to buy land or used to put interest. The term for the interest money is stipulated, and if you suddenly go to the bank to take out the money, it is estimated that you will lose a little money. These messy things add up, so that Lu Yishou has no time to go to the field to change guards with Qinglang, and although Liu Yu is a man, he is a guest, so he can't just go to see the ground with a guest, thinking about it, he can only be embarrassed by Qinglang.
What the people in the village say about Ye Xiaoyu, of course, Lu Yishou has also heard about it. He's always felt like that. The responsibility lies with herself, so in order to make Ye Xiaoyu feel better, things are generally not explained to her, and only let her rest for a few days. Ye Xiaoyu naturally won't be willing. Coupled with these gossip, she found it annoying. But I don't care. I still run into the field every day.
Originally, it was Datian's business to deliver food, but on this day, Datian wanted to accompany Lu Yishou to transport a cart of garlic seedlings to the capital, and he happened to meet Ye Xiaoyu who was going to the field. So he entrusted her with the packed meals and brought them to Qinglang.
These garlic seedlings were originally planted in "greenhouses", so they were not killed like other mature crops. In winter, garlic seedlings are sold in the Yuejing market, and they are all cultivated by farmers in the northern district with "cellars", and the quantity is very small. In the summer, because it is the peak season for cabbage and cowpeas, and garlic seedlings are difficult to grow, they are almost impossible to find in the market.
The reason why garlic seedlings were planted was mainly to test the efficacy of the Xialujia greenhouse, but I didn't expect that under Ye Xiaoyu's control of sunlight and temperature, these garlic seedlings grew very well in the greenhouse, tender and yellow, similar to the effect formed by insufficient sunlight in winter. And it grows very fast and there are many of them.
Although the number of garlic seedlings is large, it is also loaded with an ordinary ox cart, which is much farther away from the delivery quantity in the capital, and Lu Yishou also mentioned it when he first negotiated and wanted to use this batch of garlic seedlings to offset some, but those merchants did not agree, and only asked the Lu family to pay compensation. Now, the compensation has been paid and the parties have reached an agreed plan. The remaining garlic seedlings, Lu Yishou planned to sell them in the capital market by himself, no matter how much he sold or how little he sold, he could always recover some losses.
When Ye Xiaoyu arrived in the field, Qing Lang was holding a silver slender needle, a bit like the kind used to knit sweaters, and inserted it one by one. It seems that the soil is being monitored for toxicity.
After calling out and signaling him to come over for lunch, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly hid in the small room on the ground.
The midday sun was burning on my body, as if I had been branded with iron, and the heat was unbearable.
The thatched house was so low that even Ye Xiaoyu had to bend over when she entered, let alone be sunny. In addition to some miscellaneous items, there is also a simple bamboo bed, which is used to sleep on a sunny night. In this inaccessible place, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how to overcome her fear to sleep in this simple house on a sunny night, if it was herself, even if she built a house here, she didn't dare to live alone. Although it is not in the mountains, it is too far away from the village, and there are few people in the daytime, let alone at night.
"Are you scared to be here alone at night?"
Ye Xiaoyu squatted on the wooden board and looked at Qinglang, who was sitting opposite to eat, and asked.
"The soil in the field is almost gone, and when the gate is installed today, we can plant vegetables again."
Qinglang took a bite of rice and did not answer Ye Xiaoyu's question, but talked lightly about the situation in the field.
Install the gates?
Isn't it sunny that you don't have to keep a vigil here tonight?
"Congratulations, I've finally ended my savage life, and I can go back and have a good rest at night."
Ye Xiaoyu was inexplicably happy for Qinglang, after the Yinpan incident, thanks to his help in finding the antidote and "detoxification", and these days, let him guard here alone, obviously this qiē has nothing to do with him, but let him do so many things, Ye Xiaoyu's heart feeling is no longer "unintentional" can be described.
Qinglang didn't answer, just tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, and put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the basket brought by Ye Xiaoyu.
This is the second time Ye Xiaoyu has seen the facial expression of the man with facial paralysis in front of him change, the first time, when he first went to the ground last year.
In the past year, many things have happened, and many people have been met, with the flow of time, the people and things around Ye Xiaoyu have changed, it is unimaginable, the only constant is the sunshine, and his still cold facial paralysis.
After resting a little, Qinglang took the hat and went to the ground again, Ye Xiaoyu originally wanted to dissuade him, but thinking of Qinglang's character, he might not be able to listen to his own words, so he moved his lips, but in the end he swallowed the words in his throat.
Although Ye Xiaoyu has been running around the field these days regardless of other people's gossip, in fact, she also understands in her heart that even if she comes here so frequently, she can't help much, these days when she is in the field, she is either stupidly following Qinglang to bask in the sun, or sitting in the small room and watching Qinglang's busy back, but instead of listening to gossip in Nanyuan, she is more willing to be in a daze in this inaccessible place. Moreover, even if he can't help, but staying in the field all the time, even if he is deceiving himself, Ye Xiaoyu will feel more or less better in his heart.
In fact, after this happened, what Ye Xiaoyu was most afraid of facing was not other people's gossip and life attacks, but Lu Yishou and Hong'er's meticulous care for themselves, and every time they cast a caring look, the guilt in Ye Xiaoyu's heart increased by one point. She knew that only these people were good to her now, but the more people who were good to herself, the more she didn't want to live up, and the deeper the guilt in her heart. But in order not to worry them, Ye Xiaoyu has to be optimistic, cheerful and positive on the surface, and in such a day of forced laughter, tears gush out every time she laughs and laughs.
So now, she prefers to be busy in the fields.
Ye Xiaoyu knows that "practical action is the most effective way to smash rumors", and she has indeed done so these days, as long as the crops in the field are replanted, and then delivered to the goods, and make money, now all gossip will come to an abrupt end, although the current difficult state will continue for a long time.
"Uh...... You come to help in the field, you know so much, if we work together, we will definitely do a good job......"
On the way back that day, Ye Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time, and finally said to Qinglang, who was walking ahead.
Although he had taken agronomy in his previous life, his practical experience was almost zero, and in order to learn the lessons of this time, Ye Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, thought about it, and felt that it was best to convince Qinglang to let him help him take care of this land. He said that he was "co-owning" with the Lu family, but Lu Yishou was so busy, and he still had a lot of business to do, so he couldn't part with Yinpan at all. If there is a sunny day to help himself, then Lu Yishou should be able to enjoy the "shareholder power" of sitting and sharing money.
"Already helping."
A clear and faint voice came from ahead.
"Well, I'm not talking about this help now, I mean I want you to take care of the fields with me for a long time in the future, you know, I don't know anything except for a flexible brain."
Hearing that Qinglang misinterpreted his meaning, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.
In fact, she wasn't sure if Qinglang really misunderstood her words, or deliberately rejected herself with misinterpretation. After all, the meaning of that sentence just now is so obvious, and it is not particularly difficult to understand.
"You're working so hard, but for what?"
After being silent for a while, Ye Xiaoyu thought that Qinglang would not agree to his invitation, but such a question suddenly came from ahead.
For what?
To be honest, Ye Xiaoyu can't say why, maybe it's because she doesn't want to be mediocre all her life and waste her life; Maybe it's because he wants to get ahead and make a lot of money; Or maybe it's just because she Ye Xiaoyu accidentally got a second new life, so she cherishes it very much, hoping that all of them will come over again, and she doesn't want to waste this kindness of God in vain; Maybe she just wants to fight for a breath of vulgarity, in order to prove to the scumbag living in another time and space, even if she leaves him, she can live a prosperous life.
This qiē and qiē can be a reason for their own efforts, but there is no single answer.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I don't want to waste my time, after all, there is only one life, and it's gone when it's over, so I think it's hard to come to the world and leave something behind. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Xiaoyu said slowly. (To be continued......)
