Chapter 47: Lover's Fruit

Cui Ranxin ignored each other for three days, Cui Jiuan was helpless, remembered the jar of pickled plums, took it out, held it in his arms, and walked to the girl who was busy in the kitchen.

"Do you eat plums?"

Cui Ran was determined not to forgive him easily, so he ignored him.

Cui Jiuan leisurely pinched a piece and threw it into his mouth: "It's good, sweet and sour, it's delicious." ”

The other party still didn't respond, but the girl's lip licking was instantly captured by his keen eyes.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all." Saying that, Cui Jiuan really ate one after another, and after a cup of tea, half of the plums in the jar were already missing.

"I'm not afraid of souring your teeth!" The girl really couldn't snatch back the porcelain jar in the man's hand.

"The rest is mine! You are not allowed to eat any more! ”

Looking at the girl's stern face, Cui Jiuan smiled and promised: "Okay, it's all for you." Then don't be angry! ”

"I'm not angry."

"Don't be angry, why don't you ignore me?"

"I'm not angry, I'm just sad that you actually threw me to the ground and left me alone." Cui Ranxin said and raised his hazy eyes, and Cui Jiu was relieved and remorseful.

"I promise, never again."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Yesterday I saw a big beehive on the Xinyi flower tree in the back mountain, if you get me half back, I will believe you." Cui Ranxin continued to look up at the other party, but there was still a half-talented Chu Chu in his eyes.

Cui Jiuan instantly understood that he was falling for a little girl, so he could only agree hard, he didn't forget the last time he picked half of the hive, and he was chased by bees and almost jumped off the cliff.

The two of them came to the mountain behind the Valley of Hundred Medicines, and sure enough, there was a huge beehive hanging on the height of an extremely thick Xinyi flower tree, which could not be found without careful attention because of the green leaves.

"Second brother, you see there are still two big beehives there!" Looking at the girl's fingers, there were several beehives hanging in the woods.

Cui Jiuan gritted his teeth: "You go farther, I'll go up and get it down." ”

Cui Ranxin hurriedly ran away, and shouted in his mouth: "Second brother, be careful!" ”

Cui Jiu'an jumped up with the trunk of the tree, nimble like a monkey, shuttling between the branches, but when he approached the hive, the sound of bees buzzed in his ears.

Just when Cui Jiu'an was in a bad sleep, Du Youjia's voice came: "Catch-"

I saw that he threw a lit fire fold from afar, the smell of the fire fold exuded from the fire fold, there was a slight anesthetic effect, Cui Jiu'an understood, nodded to Du Youjia, raised the fire fold above his head, and surrounded it near the hive, sure enough, the bees in the hive disarmed and threw guns, falling like raindrops, Cui Jiu'an took out a short sword and easily cut the part, put it into the prepared crockpot, and lightly floated down the trunk.

"Silly boy, don't use your brain to think about it, so many beehives must be raised for the teacher! In vain I praise you for your cleverness. ”

Cui Jiuan did not argue this time, and was humbly taught, and he knew that there were too many amazing things about Du Youjia.

"Master, you are a living treasure." The young man handed the fire fold back to Du Youjia, and it was rare to praise the other party.

"You keep this and make me an exact one before dinner."

Cui Jiuan handed the hive to Cui Ranxin and ran back to the stone house alone.

"Father-in-law, will you be too embarrassed for the second brother, there is still an hour to have dinner." Cui Ran asked worriedly.

"No, I believe him." After Du Youjia said this, he looked at Cui Ranxin in surprise: "Huh-"

"Are you reconciled?"

"Hmm!"

"He bought you with this?" Du Youjia pointed to the contents of the crockpot in the girl's arms.

"It's not!" Cui Ran denied it against his will.

"Father-in-law, are they alright?" Cui Ranxin changed the topic at once, pointing to the bees on the ground and asked worriedly.

"Alas! My poor little bee. Du Youjia squatted down and fanned the bees that fell on the ground twice, and the little things woke up, vibrated their wings and flew away.

"Wowβ€”that's amazing, father-in-law, how did you do that?"

"My father-in-law was also greedy when he was a child, but my father would be stung every time he took honey, and then my mother learned to domesticate bees and came up with this method, so she could eat as much as she wanted. Go, the father-in-law will take you to find something good, it is a perfect match for honey. ”

Cui Ranxin followed Du Youjia into the forest, there was a vine-like plant attached to the big tree, the branches climbed very high, and there were dark red or cyan fruits hanging on it, like a round little lantern, unexpectedly festive and cute.

"Father-in-law, what is this, can you eat it?"

"Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used in medicine, extracted from oil, or made into pancreas."

"It's amazing!" Cui Ranxin took one off, looked at it carefully, took out a handkerchief and wiped it before opening his mouth to bite it.

"Good daughter, this thing is not eaten like this."

"Huh?"

"The hard peel on the outside is not edible." Du Youjia hurriedly stopped.

Cui Ranxin listened, and prepared to break it open and eat.

"Silly girl, don't worry, pick some back, your father-in-law will teach you how to eat."

Then the two took off their coats and pockets before leaving the forest satisfied.

Back in the courtyard, the young man in white clothes like snow was already reclining in the rattan chair, playing with two fire folds in his hand, lazily beckoning to the visitor, and said with a smile: "This one in the yellow paper bag is the same as yours, and this one in the red paper bag can smoke away mosquitoes, and it's for you!" Cui Jiuan said, throwing the red one into the pocket of the girl's coat.

Du Youjia took the yellow one and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, nodded with a smile: "Yes, come and reward you with a good thing for the teacher, try it-"

Cui Jiuan caught the fruit thrown by the other party, touched the shell a little hard, and broke it hard, and the flesh inside immediately exuded an attractive sweet and sour taste, fragrant.

The flesh was too tender, and there was juice flowing out, Cui Jiuan tasted it, his expression was hideous, his white teeth were clenched up and down, and he slowed down for a long time before shouting: "What is this?" Acid kills. ”

Cui Ranxin, who was full of anticipation, was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything when he saw Cui Jiu'an's appearance, but he was extremely curious.

Du Youjia smiled evilly and said: "It's not like this, this is called Lover's Fruit, because its sweet and sour taste is like between lovers, sometimes sweet and sometimes sour, and it is named." People who like sour can eat it directly, but it is generally used to make tea and drink, add a lot of honey, aromatic and spleen, moisten the lungs, and taste very good. ”

Hearing Du Youjia say this, Cui Ranxin quickly found the teapot, opened the lover fruit and added warm water, scooped a few spoonfuls of honey, stirred well, poured out a cup, couldn't wait to taste it, and drank a cup in one go, too late to wipe off the water droplets on the corners of his mouth.

"Father-in-law, it's delicious."

Cui Ran hurriedly poured a cup for Du Youjia and Cui Jiuan. Du Youjia took a big sip and drank it, only Cui Jiuan hadn't forgotten the sour taste of Fang Cai, took a small sip, his eyes lit up in an instant, and he drank one sip after another with confidence.

Cui Ranxin, who had three cups of stomach in a row, suddenly felt that her abdomen was swollen and painful, so painful that she couldn't straighten her waist, and something seemed to slide down between her thighs. Fortunately, she prepared her menstrual belt early, but she forgot where to put it for a while.

Cui Jiu'an saw that the girl was pale, and ran back to the house with a painful expression, and followed uneasily, and heard the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets inside, and pushed the door.

The young man stood stupidly at the door, looking at the girl who bent over and tossed the bamboo box, his long hair slipped down, and a pair of slender white legs loomed under the gauze skirt, and he hurriedly closed the door in a panic, Cui Ranxin heard the sound and turned his head to look and found nothing abnormal, only the young man leaning on the door blushed, his heart beat rapidly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Little whore, voyeur!" Du Youjia picked up the lover fruit on the table and threw it at Cui Jiu'an, the young man took it casually, and wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how to speak, so he only said silently in his heart: "Don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent people-"
