Ye Jinyan shook his head, "Although I don't know who poisoned you, don't worry, I will always take care of you until you are injured, because you saved my life before." ”

She knew that she couldn't be completely defenseless against Xue Shenxing, but she had to take care of his injuries.

Xue Shenxing lay on the thatch, looked at Ye Jinyan's shining eyes, and said lazily: "I don't know when my injury will heal, staying in this cave every day is really boring, can you go down the mountain and bring me a few books to relieve my boredom." ”

The main content of Xue Shenxing's chat with Ye Jinyan is to refine Ye Jinyan's information, he recently knew that Ye Jinyan is a self-reliant and independent girl, and he also knows that Ye Jinyan seems to like a scholar very much, since this is the case, he will pretend to be a reader.

Ye Jinyan could understand the boredom of him lying here, and immediately agreed to him. Before leaving, she deliberately put the original banana leaves back at the entrance of the cave, and reminded him several times, telling him not to come out.

In the past few days, the peasants' wheat fields have been damaged by heavy rains, and they will come to the mountains to look for prey and food, and if he is seen by those farmers, it is estimated that he will definitely cause some trouble.

Xue Shenxing agreed to Ye Jinyan, seeing that her figure was getting smaller and smaller, and disappeared from the bottom of his eyes, his smiling expression was suddenly closed, and he returned to his unsmiling appearance.

Looking at the crackling and burning wood in the fire, he stretched out his hand and extinguished the fire with a bang.

Xue Shenxing put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, in the chaos, he seemed to see himself.

He walked among the splendid temples in luxurious clothes, when the best things in the world were in his hands, and the most honorable people in the world were his brothers.

But now he gave up everything and went away, but he didn't expect so many people to chase and kill him, obviously, after knowing that he was going to give up everything, but someone refused to let him go.

Xue Shenxing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ye Jinyan went to the paddy field to pick a lot of buckwheat according to Xue Shenxing's words.

When she got home, she could just see the curling smoke rising from the chimneys around her, and it seemed that she had just caught up with the time to cook.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and the first to see Ye Jinyan was Ye Jinyu, who waved his hand at Ye Jinyan and shouted, "Sister, you're back." ”

Ye Jinyan saw him and said with a smile: "I've only been out for a long time." ”

She walked up to Da Zhuang and took out the buckwheat, breathing a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you didn't leave, you can help me see if this plant can prevent termites?" ”

Da Zhuang took the buckwheat handed by Ye Jinyan, looked it up and down, and shook his head, "I don't know, the master didn't tell us, but you can give it a try." ”

Ye Jinyan was a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't believe Xue Shenxing. It's just that about buckwheat to protect against termites, she's still weird.

Since Da Zhuang said that he wanted to try it, they took a piece of wood covered with termites from the old house and put it on the ground.

Ye Jinyan smeared the sap of the buckwheat roots on the wood, but he didn't expect something magical to happen, those termite powder stopped gnawing and turned into a small white spot that couldn't move.

She rarely interacts with termites, and today should be the first time, so she doesn't know if termites are good or bad.

Da Zhuang stretched out his hand, scratched his head, and said, "Like this buckwheat has a bit of an effect, but it still doesn't feel as good as the red knotweed, but judging from the foundation of this old house, neither buckwheat nor red knotweed can guarantee that it will not be shaken, so I advise you to change houses." ”

Ye Jinyan looked at the termites in the piece of wood and suddenly remembered what Xue Shenxing told him about tung oil, so he said: "Brother Da Zhuang and Brother Zhuang, you wait for me at my house first, and I will come back immediately." ”

She picked up her dress and hurriedly ran to her aunt's house next door to borrow some tung oil.

Ye Jinyan poured tung oil on the wood, only to see the termites running out of the wood in horror.

In the end, there was not a single termite in the wood, but a white flower on the loess.

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang opened their eyes and saw this scene, they were all surprised, obediently, this is really magical.

Er Zhuang poked his head out, looked at the water scoop in Ye Jinyan's hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Ye Jinyan poured the last bucket of oil in the water ladle and said, "This is tung oil, I heard that if you smear this on the wood, termites will no longer erode the wood, and there have always been people using it before." ”

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang listened to Ye Jin's words, their faces were red, they were specialized in repairing houses, but they didn't even know about tung oil.

Erzhuang coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and said: "Our master has taught us this matter before, but we are not good at learning, and we have forgotten it. ”

Ye Jinyan smiled, put the wooden scoop back, and thought to himself, this big problem can finally be solved.

Ye Jinyu squatted and looked at the rotten piece of wood, and asked worriedly: "Even if the termites are gone, this wood is already full of holes, can it really afford housing?" ”

Ye Jinyan didn't know how to answer, but there was really no way to change the house now, although everyone had a share in the ancient house, but there was also a difference between rich and poor.

At this time, Da Zhuang suddenly said loudly: "There are no termites in this wood, let alone how long it lasts, even if it lasts for a year or two, it doesn't matter, after all, this foundation is still there." ”

Er Zhuang stretched out his hand and patted Ye Jinyu's shoulder, and quipped: "You kid reads every day, why don't you even know this?" ”

Ye Jinyu blushed, but Ye Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't tease him, he has been memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics every day recently, and his brain is dizzy from memorization, how can he know these things." ”

This sentence made Ye Jinyu's face even more unbearable, he snorted and said, "I will know in the future, sister, next time I will help you solve these problems." ”

Ye Jinyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you to grow up." ”

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang planned to go back after repairing the hole in the roof, but they were retained by Ye Jinyan.

They help themselves repair the house for free, and they must do their best to be a landlord, but Da Zhuang and Erzhuang do have something, after all, there are problems with the houses in various villages these days, and the three of them who can repair the house are their master and apprentice, so how can they have time to continue to stay.

Ye Jinyan took out the two taels of silver in his sleeve, put them on Da Zhuang and Erzhuang's hands, and said softly: "Brother Da Zhuang, Brother Erzhuang, you help us repair the house, these are what you deserve." ”

But the big and the strong and the two strong didn't accept it, in their eyes, Ye Jinyan and Ye Jinyu were the most difficult, so Ye Jinyan had no choice but to give up, and just said, let them come over for a meal next time.

After Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang left, the kerosene lamp in the house was re-lit.

In the past few days, it has been raining heavily, and the mosquitoes have all hid in, Ye Jinyu is lying on the bed, and her face has been bitten several red envelopes.

Ye Jinyan put the kerosene lamp on the table, looked at the pot of broken pitcher plants in the corner, and remembered the can of preserved eggs that he had been putting under the bed.

There had been a lot of things lately, and she had almost forgotten what she had been living in.
