Chapter Seventy-Nine: Red Knotweed Juice
Xue Shenxing sighed heavily as he looked at the bleeding wound on his arm and his abdomen wrapped in heavy fabric.
Ye Jinyan comforted him a few words and helped him back to the cave, fortunately the cave was not very far from the place where he picked the fruit.
This journey has exhausted Ye Jinyan to death, she not only has to hold the fruit, but also support Xue Shenxing, it is really not easy to take care of both.
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on the top of his head, and said to him: "Don't run around in the future, I will often go up the mountain to bring you something to eat, by the way, this is a bottle of medicine I brought from home, and I don't know if it's bad or not." ”
Ye Jinyan took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, the bottom of the porcelain bottle was already yellowed, and the color had fallen off unshapedly, it seemed to be a long time ago.
However, this is the only bottle of gold sore medicine that Ye Jinyan found at home, and I don't know who prepared it at home.
But medicine can't heal a dead person.
Xue Shenxing took the porcelain bottle paste and looked at it, pulled the cloth on the bottle apart, and there was a strong and astringent smell coming to his nose.
"This bottle of medicine seems to be broken." Xue Shenxing returned the medicine to Ye Jinyan and let her smell it.
Ye Jinyan's face became whiter than Xue Shenxing, she threw the bottle of medicine outside the cave, and said, "Since it's broken, throw it away, next time I will go to the pharmacy at the entrance of the village to buy you a new bottle." ”
Although this medicine does not cure people, the smell is disgusting.
Xue Shenxing looked at the small bottle that was thrown out and smiled: "Actually, there is no need to throw it away, you can use that bottle to hold something." ”
"What?" Ye Jinyan was quite disgusted.
Xue Shenxing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's very good to pretend to be the herbs you picked from outside before." ”
"That bottle has been soaked for so long, and the smell has stuck to it." Ye Jinyan picked up a few branches and threw them into the fire, the branches were very brittle, and they crackled and burned as soon as they touched the fire.
"In fact, the method of deodorization is also simple, as long as you pour the rice vinegar mixed water into that bottle, let it sit for a few days and the taste will dissipate." Xue Shenxing picked up a fruit from Ye Jinyan's arms, and said while biting it, with a very leisurely posture.
If Xue Shenxing hadn't said that he had amnesia before, Ye Jinyan would really think that he was a person who knew astronomy and geography.
But now he doesn't look like an amnesiac person, but like a person who came to the mountains to play and was trapped by a torrential rain.
Obviously he was seriously injured, but he was not in a hurry, but he knew everything well, which made Ye Jinyan even more curious about what his true identity was.
Ye Jinyan propped his head with one hand, looked at the raging flames, and pretended to ask casually, "Do you say you really have amnesia?" I don't look like it. ”
Xue Shenxing's back was cold, and he laughed, "I don't want to say that I have amnesia, but I just can't remember who I did what, other than that, I know." ”
Ye Jin looked at him in disbelief, but the expression on his face was full of suspicion.
Xue Shenxing took a big bite of the fruit and changed the subject: "Do you want to eat it?" I see you haven't eaten anything yet. ”
Ye Jinyan shook his head and said, "No, I have already eaten before I went up the mountain, and I will go to the other side of the mountain to pick some red knotweeds later, and now that you are fine, I will leave first." ”
She stood up straight, patted the dirt on her body, and was about to go out, but suddenly heard Xue Shenxing ask behind her, "Are you going to pick red knotweeds now?" Do you know what that thing is? ”
Ye Jinyan was suddenly stopped by him, to be honest, except that this thing can prevent termites, she really doesn't know anything about red knotweed.
No, Xue Shenxing asked, did he mean that he knew what this thing was?
"That thing can't be eaten, it's not good-looking, what the hell are you picking it for?"
Ye Jinyan turned his head and replied truthfully: "My house is about to be eaten by termites, and I heard that the sap at the bottom of the red knotweed can prevent termites, so I'm going to pick some." ”
"If it's just to prevent termites......" Xue Shenxing rubbed his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he looked up at Ye Jinyan and smiled: "If it's just to prevent termites, you can go to the paddy field to pick a little buckwheat and come back, it has the same effect as red knotweed, but if you really want to kill the termites, it's better to use another method......
"Do you have another way?"
I have to say that Xue Shenxing's image in Ye Jinyan's eyes suddenly became taller, she wanted to know how to solve termites, and she also knew that using the juice of those plants to water civil engineering could only prevent and control for a while, if Xue Shenxing really had a way to help her, it would be a charcoal in the snow.
"You can pour the wood with tung oil so that the termites can't erode the wood, but this method only works for wood that has termites in the beginning. But your house must be years old, right? He asked rhetorically.
Ye Jinyan nodded and sat back, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Xue Shenxing glanced at her and said with a smile: "What else can I do, either change the house, or refine a few more barrels of tung oil, and pour all the houses from the inside out, but it will take a lot of time to refine tung oil." ”
Refining tung oil is not a big deal, she doesn't care about wasting time, if she can live a few more days, she doesn't have to be too anxious to change houses, after all, she also has to protect the preserved eggs hidden under the bed.
Now the price of preserved eggs is rising day by day, and the longer the preserved eggs are fried, the hotter the preserved eggs will become, and she can just sell all the preserved eggs in her heyday, so it is easy for her to change houses.
But before the preserved eggs are good, she doesn't want to spend more money.
Ye Jinyan made up his mind in his heart, and just wanted to thank Xue Shenxing, but suddenly something strange happened.
"How do you know so much?"
If the first few things are coincidences, then even ordinary rural people don't know about termite control, where did Xue Shenxing learn about it?
Xue Shenxing laughed, "I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, from astronomy to geography, I have dabbled in it, and I have been reading some books about building houses before, so I know more about this aspect." ”
Ye Jinyan looked at Xue Shenxing in surprise and asked, "You like to read, have you taken the children's exam?" ”
In ancient times, reading was the most important thing, and if she could be a scholar, who would be a killer, so she was very curious, what was Xue Shenxing's identity?
Xue Shenxing shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I remember that I took the children's exam, I wouldn't be confused here to know who I am...... Someone was poisoned before. ”
This time, Ye Jinyan was really completely deceived by Xue Shenxing, she actually insisted on believing in Xue Shenxing for two reasons: first, Xue Shenxing had saved her, so it was impossible to hurt her; The second point is that she and Xue Shenxing have no grievances or hatreds. And her current identity is just a little girl from a peasant family, so Xue Shenxing has no need to lie to her.
Just because of these two very ordinary common senses, Ye Jinyan was deeply trapped in the lies of Xue Shenxing's cultivation.
Xue Shenxing looked at Ye Jinyan like a fishy cat and snickered.
