Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Termite Plague

Only then did she know that Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were not her distant relatives, but just an elder brother that Ye Jinyan knew when she was a child, and they actually came here to help them repair their houses.

When it comes to repairing houses, we have to mention Carpenter Li.

They are Carpenter Li's apprentices, because Ye Jinyan found Carpenter Li's daughter-in-law yesterday, so Carpenter Li knows about it. But because there were too many rotten houses in Ximen Village, he had to rush to Ximen Village immediately the next day to continue repairing.

Given that Ye Jinyan's house was only a big hole, he planned to let Da Zhuang Er Zhuang practice without any compensation.

Ye Jinyan heard that they were here to work for free, although she was a little embarrassed, but she was still very happy in her heart.

She made a pot of tea to quench their thirst. This tea was picked on the tea tree by Ye Jinyan before, although I don't know what variety it is, but the taste and aroma are not worse than ordinary tea.

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang drank two sips of tea and started work.

They brought ladders and climbed up to repair the house, but halfway through the repair, they turned their heads, looked at Ye Jinyan with a serious expression, and shouted at her: "Yan girl! Your house is so rotten that it might collapse if you don't make a major change! ”

Ye Jinyan's heart was cold, holding the teapot, and replied nervously: "I don't have spare money for the time being, and I can't repair the house to a large extent, I don't know if the two brothers have any ideas to temporarily let this house withstand the storm." ”

Da Zhuang and Zhuang glanced at each other, and both shook their heads, "This house was built decades ago, and the interior was hollowed out by termites, and the wood of the house was eroded very badly, so we could only fill the holes in the roof ......"

Da Zhuang was halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped, he clapped his hands, and said: "Hey, how did I forget, there is another thing that can prevent termites, you go to the mountains to pick some red knotweed, and use its root juice to smear the wood, which can make termites stop eating temporarily, but it will not be long." ”

Ye Jinyan thanked them and told Ye Jinyu about this matter, although Ye Jinyu knew that Ye Jinyan would not be in danger, she was still a little worried.

In order to reassure Ye Jinyu, Ye Jinyan said a lot of words to comfort him.

Ye Jinyu saw that Ye Jinyan must go up the mountain, so Mao recommended himself to go with Ye Jinyan, but Ye Jinyan originally wanted to go up the mountain to see Xue Shenxing, and it was obviously inappropriate to bring Ye Jinyu with her.

She found several reasons to shirk it, and finally got the matter done.

Seeing that the roof was almost repaired, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang walked down the ladder and begged for two cups of tea to drink.

They could see the scene just now clearly, so while drinking tea, they also touched Ye Jinyu's head and quipped: "Why are you still as timid after all these years?" ”

Ye Jinyu pursed her lips and said, "I didn't have it!" ”

The sky was getting dark too fast, the wind was surging, Ye Jinyan was afraid that it would be another heavy rainstorm, and when he picked up the basket and was about to go up the mountain, he remembered that Xue Shenxing didn't have anything to keep warm.

Ye Jinyan returned to the room and picked up the quilt, but saw a bottle of gold sore medicine from a long time ago in the corner.

She didn't know if the medicine was still useful, but she didn't have time to go to the pharmacy at the entrance of the village to buy it, so she had to carry it up the mountain.

The mountain became muddy because of the muddy water for days, Ye Jinyan almost slipped down several times, and every time she reached the most critical moment, she held on to the roots of the tree next to her tightly and stabilized.

Xue Shenxing's cave was far away, and Ye Jinyan hadn't thought that she would have any contact with Xue Shenxing in the future, but because Xue Shenxing's injury was too serious, she had to take care of Xue Shenxing for a long time.

Ye Jinyan walked to the cave, but she didn't see anyone in the cave, it was still the same as after she left, just one less person.

The cave was tightly blocked by the leaves, which was perfect for Tibetans, but because it was dim, she couldn't see clearly.

She picked up two stones from the side and polished them for a while, and then the fire reappeared.

By the faint light of the fire, she turned over the thatch, and saw some blood stains on it, it was dry, it seemed that Xue Shenxing left during the day. He was so badly injured and left here directly, if he was found by the people who chased him before, wouldn't he be killed?

Ye Jinyan walked to the fire and kicked the extinguished fire, and the fire suddenly dispersed, revealing a few pieces of wood that had not yet been burned.

The small flame next to the fire was blown by the wind, and there were faint signs that it was about to be extinguished, Ye Jinyan was afraid that the small flame was really extinguished, so he picked up some straw from the side and put it on the fire, the fire seemed to be extinguished at first, but then it burned.

She threw the quilt in her hand in the cave and decided to go out to find Xue Shenxing, who was so badly injured that he would definitely not be able to go far.

There was a path next to the cave that led to a dense forest, where the road was the smoothest, and Xue Shenxing should have taken that road if he was seriously injured.

Ye Jinyan walked down the path and really found Xue Shenxing.

He sat under a tree and nibbled on the fruit, looked up and saw Ye Jinyan coming, and waved at Ye Jinyan very happily.

Ye Jinyan frowned, sat down next to him, and asked, "Why did you come out?" Your injuries aren't healed yet. ”

Xue Shenxing took a bite of the fruit, pushed all the remaining fruits to Ye Jinyan, and said with a hurt face: "I didn't see you when I woke up in the morning, and I thought you thought I was a waste." ”

Ye Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and put away all the fruits, ignoring his words, and instead said, "Go back." ”

Xue Shen moved for a moment, grinning in pain, but still reminded stubbornly, "You haven't replied to what I just said, do you think I'm hopeless so you left?" ”

Ye Jinyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "If I really leave, will I come back?" I have family in the village, and I went home. ”

Xue Shenxing nodded silently, the fruit in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily, and it rolled around a few times, covered with mud, and it seemed that he couldn't eat it.

He struggled to stand up against the tree, "It's good to have family, no matter when and where someone thinks about you, I don't know if I have family, if so, where are they now?" ”

He looked up at the sky, his voice indifferent and his expression calm.

Ye Jinyan hugged the fruits picked by Xue Shenxing, sighed, and said, "You will have family, but you don't remember anything now, and when you remember everything one day, you can go back to them." ”

She naturally knew in her heart that if Xue Shenxing was really a killer, he would definitely not have any relatives or friends, but if she guessed wrong, who would Xue Shenxing be?

Xue Shenxing turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Ye Jinyan and smiled: "What you said is indeed right, so I have to take care of my body," he coughed several times as he said it, "But this wound is too painful, cough cough, I thought the wound was healed, but I didn't expect it to hurt so much." ”

"Of course, you think it's just a flesh wound?" Ye Jinyan stood up with the fruit in his arms.

In fact, Xue Shenxing was so seriously injured, it was very good to be alive.
