Lu Xiaoxian got up very early the next day, and as soon as she finished washing, Manda came, and as soon as she entered the door, she looked everywhere, like an old dog, sniffing and smelling, and when she saw the basket of hay and the handful of bananas, her eyes stopped for a short time. Lu Xiaoxian was very eye-catching, and quickly broke one for her, Manda was not polite, and ate it after peeling the skin.

Although Manda's English is not good, she can barely communicate. She brought a tablet to teach Lu Xiaoxian to recognize various common diseases of rubber trees. The most common is powdery mildew, there will be white powder on the leaves, forming white/powdery spots, the leaves will die and fall off, causing the branches to wither, delaying the rubber tapping period, affecting the yield of latex, and losing the harvest...... The damage is extremely severe.

There is also anthrax, pockmarking, cankers on the trunk, dead skin disease...... Wait a minute. These things sounded boring at first, but Lu Xiaoxian was not impatient at all, and listened very carefully.

Manda said as she observed Lu Xiaoxian carefully, and she didn't know how much she listened, but the woman's focused appearance satisfied her.

When Manda stopped to rest, Lu Xiaoxian went to the kitchen and scooped a scoop of water for her, there was not even a cup here, she could only drink water with a scoop when she was thirsty, Manda took it, drank half a scoop in one go, and was about to splash the rest, Lu Xiaoxian sighed, took it, and drank it himself.

Manda glanced at her, slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, paused for a while, and then continued.

A morning passed quickly in Manda's explanation.

At noon, Manda was about to go back, and Lu Xiaoxian asked her to stay and eat with her, but Manda told her that the food here was served per capita, and if she stayed, Lu Xiaoxian's food would not be enough.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said It doesn't matter, Manda has taught her so much knowledge, she is a teacher, she should invite the teacher to a meal, this is the most basic courtesy.

Manda hesitated, then agreed.

Probably because of the short mouth of eating people, Manda's attitude during eating is better, and he has selective answers to Lu Xiaoxian's questions, such as why no one taps rubber on the rubber tree in front of the door? It is because these trees are now in the recuperation period, and it will take two months for the new bark to grow and the leaves will be old, so they can be tapped.

Lu Xiaoxian gestured to describe the kind of red fruit she saw, and asked her if she could eat it?

Manda said that it was a kind of jam that could be eaten or eaten with a dish, and it had a slightly sour taste.

For Lu Xiaoxian, this was undoubtedly good news, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a smile. Manda seemed to be infected by her, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Manda left after eating, and Lu Xiaoxian stuffed the banana to her and gave her another section before returning to the hut.

She didn't ask where Manda lived? It should not be far, because she had come on foot, and she had arrived early, and one of the dozen or so forks of the road must have led to Manda's quarters.

She didn't ask how long she would be here. At least two months, two months later, rubber tapping will start here, and there will be more people, Lin Peizhi should transfer her away.

Life in the forest is very hard, but for Lu Xiaoxian, she only feels leisurely, like returning to the days when she lived alone when she was a child, no TV, no contact with the outside world, every day is by herself, cooking and laundry, walking around to see, she sings loudly when she feels too quiet, and occasionally a bird stops at the window and looks curiously into the house.

On the morning of the third day, when Manda came over, she took the lock from the window and opened it all, although she didn't say anything, Lu Xiaoxian could see that she was kind. Because as soon as the window was opened, the unpleasant smell in the room faded a lot.

At noon, Lu Xiaoxian left her to eat again, but Manda refused and only took away the bananas that Lu Xiaoxian stuffed for her.

On the fourth day, which was the last day of Manda's coming, Lu Xiaoxian picked a handful of wildflowers in the forest and gave them to her, Manda was a little surprised, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her dry eyes, she smelled the wildflowers, nodded to Lu Xiaoxian, and expressed her gratitude.

She is going to teach Lu Xiaoxian to tap rubber today, using a narrow scimitar, along the traces on the tree, to cut a shallow opening, white latex came out at once, slowly flowing down the knife edge, flowing into a small bowl fixed on the trunk of the tree.

It's not difficult to watch, but it's not easy to do, Lu Xiaoxian is a novice, she has cut it a few times, it's either shallow or deep, Manda doesn't think she's stupid, and she teaches patiently.

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly saw a bee with a small finger covering the size of a small finger about to land on Manda's head, and hurriedly waved it with his hand, trying to drive it away, but he didn't expect the bee to rush towards her, Manda saw that his face changed, and he rushed back to the house and lit a brown incense-like thing.

Lu Xiaoxian was being chased by the bee all over the forest, she ran fast, although the bee was vicious, she couldn't help her for a while, but she couldn't give up the chase, as long as she looked at a gap, she would sting her fiercely.

Manda rushed over and waved the incense at the bee, and the rich fragrance spread through the forest, and the bee ran away without a trace.

Lu Xiaoxian crossed his waist and panted: "That, what is that, good, so fierce!" ”

Manda looked frightened, and looked around again, before pulling Lu Xiaoxian back to the house and telling her that it was the legendary killer bee, if you sting, people will be paralyzed, if you sting a few more, you will die, and every year there are glue workers who are stung to death by killer bees. Fortunately, killer bees also have natural predators, and they are afraid of a large flower called kenip, which will suffocate it by the smell of the flower, so people use kenaf red to make incense, and when they see the killer bee, they can drive it away by lighting incense.

Manda suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Xiaoxian, this is a very grand gift in Aole, Lu Xiaoxian was startled, and quickly dodged, she knew that Manda was thanking her for what happened just now, but it was just a gesture, and besides, she didn't know that it was a very vicious killer bee, and she really couldn't afford such a big gift.

After this little episode, Manda's attitude towards Lu Xiaoxian was a little better, and she even chatted with her.

When Lu Xiaoxian saw Manda for the first time, she thought she was an old woman over sixty years old, but after chatting, she realized that Manda was only forty years old and in the prime of life, but she was working in the open air all year round and looked old. Her family is poor, her husband is a rubber cutter, her eldest son works in a food processing factory, and her youngest daughter lives with her in another small wooden house guarding a rubber plantation.

The youngest daughter is only four years old, she can't work, and there is no supply, Manda can only share a portion of her own food for her to eat, so when Lu Xiaoxian invited her to eat for the first time, she knew that it was not good, but she still had the cheekiness to stay, because she could save her share for her daughter to eat.

As for why fires can only be lit once a day, it is to reduce the incidence of fires, and the forest is full of trees and the weather is dry, so the number of fires is reduced to a minimum.

Manda also told her that the leaves and seeds of the rubber tree were poisonous, and that if you could not touch them, there would be no wild beasts in the forest, but there were snakes, and most of the snakes were poisonous, and she asked Lu Xiaoxian to lock the doors and windows when she slept at night, so that the snakes would not run into the house.

Manda had worked in the rubber plantations for twenty years, teaching many new women, and every time she said this, the women had a look of fear on their faces, as if living here was a terrible thing.

Only Lu Xiaoxian is an exception, she is very white, her manners are elegant, she speaks well, she always smiles, and she looks like a superior person. Manda felt that she should be more afraid of this harsh environment, but no, Lu Xiaoxian just listened very carefully, and then accepted all this calmly.

Lu Xiaoxian also mentioned her family to her, saying that her father loved her very much, her mother was very kind, and her brother was handsome and capable, and she had to call home every week to report her safety, but when she got here, she didn't have a mobile phone, and there was no way to report her safety this week, and the family would definitely be worried.

Manda glanced at her, but didn't react. It wasn't until she was about to leave that she took out an old mobile phone from her body and handed it to her: "It's okay to report safety, but you can't say anything else." ”

Lu Xiaoxian was secretly happy in her heart, knowing that she guessed correctly, Manda would help her. She called Lu Dingshen and said that she had recently arrived in a place with beautiful scenery but poor signal, and she might not be able to call him on time, so that he should not worry.

Every time Lu Dingshen received a call, he always told her to tell her this and that, and told her to come back quickly. Lu Xiaoxian didn't dare to say too much, so he hung up after a few perfunctory words.

After the family was pacified, it was considered a major event, and she had a week to find a way to escape. Of course, it may not take a week for Lan Kaiser to find her.

Lu Xiaoxian had always believed that Lan Kaize would come to her, but this time she was wrong.

On the day Lan Kaize arrived in Qingzhou, Ah Lie called him and said that Lu Xiaoxian was taken away by Lin Peizhi.

Why, he asked?

Ah Lie said that Lu Xiaoxian's stolen things were found in the room, so he was kicked out.

Lan Kaiser hung up with a sigh. After hanging up the phone, he was a little confused, he didn't understand why a maid made a mistake and was kicked out, why did Ah Lie tell him? What does this have to do with him?

The memory was very confusing, and he sat in a daze for a long time before he remembered who Lu Xiaoxian was? It was the woman with big clear eyes, he liked her, he was infatuated with her, and he was very good to her, but she was not satisfied, and actually stole from her mother's room, so she was kicked out!

He thought about it, picked up his mobile phone and called Lin Peizhi, asking his mother not to be too embarrassed Lu Xiaoxian, after all, she was the woman he liked. Lin Peizhi said that he didn't embarrass her, but her hands and feet were not clean and she couldn't stay at home anymore, so she was sent out.

He knew that Lin Peizhi had always been very strict with servants with unclean hands and feet, and it was already very good that Lu Xiaoxian was not embarrassed, and Lan Kaize was quite satisfied with such a result.

But the next day, Lan Kaili called him again, with a tone that the sky was about to fall, and shouted on the other end of the phone, asking him to go back quickly, saying that Lu Xiaoxian was gone, and he didn't know where Lin Peizhi had gone?

Lan Kaiser scolded him twice, saying that it was normal for the servant who stole things to be kicked out. What is the dignified young master making all the fuss about for this kind of thing?

Lan Kaili was shocked, and scolded him for being a bastard and dropped the phone.

He really didn't understand, how could there be such a earth-shaking change without a home for two days?
