Chapter 20: Lychee

The goal is achieved, and the ephemeral consciousness attached to the bamboo leaf dies. This leaf, which was infused with vitality, instantly lost its ability to fly and landed on Jinyunlan's head.

Li Yan's gaze fell on her, with a look of "sure enough", "I knew it was you." ”

"Here's for you." She smiled and handed the burden to him.

Li Yi lowered his eyes, unwrapped the things in the baggage, and took a look.

"I'm bored, and I went up the mountain for this kind of thing." Although he complained, the emotion in his eyes did not match his impatient tone.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Jin Yunlan took the opportunity to take his hand and put it in his palm, and said with a smile on his face: "There is something, I want to ask you." Can you fight with me? ”

Li Yan frowned inexplicably: "What? ”

Jin Yunlan told him the reason.

Li Yi remembered the earth-shattering battle between the two before, and he still had palpitations. It's just that she really insisted, and it was okay to stop when she wanted to, so she agreed.

After he nodded, the two immediately entered a state of battle, each retreating and separating the distance.

Jin Yunlan stretched out her palms and was ready to go. Li Yu stood in the forest with the sword of Li Greed on his back, transcendent and outside. A fresh breeze blew in and ruffled their hair.

Jin Yunlan let out a loud shout, and then broke through the wind and rushed towards Li Yu.

Li Yi saw her coming with her fists clenched, like a bamboo, so he also raised his right hand and touched the hilt of the sword behind his head. It was only the slightest hint of the edge of Li Greed's sword, and the resolute gaze in front of him, the woman who rushed forward was like a bird hit by a slingshot, and fell to the ground without warning. Even because of inertia, he rushed forward for a while after landing and landed right at his feet......

Li Yi: "......"

She stretched out a trembling hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, lifted her embarrassed and depressed face, and moaned pitifully, "I...... I'm so hungry, I don't have the strength. ”

Li Yi held her forehead, squatted down and helped her up, "Isn't your family a big family?" Don't even give you food? ”

"I'm so busy these days. If you think about it, it seems that I have eaten a few slices of melon in total in the past few days. Jinyun Lan came behind him with a self-talk, and without saying hello, she raised one leg and leaned towards the palm of his hand.

Li Yi turned his head to stare at her: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jin Yunlan was cheeky, "My legs are weak and I can't walk." ”

Li Yi stood firm like a scarecrow, unmoved.

She bit her lip and squeezed out a pitiful expression, looking at him aggrievedly, the pleading in her eyes almost pinching out the water, "Please, Ah Yan." ”

Li Yi gritted his teeth and held on for a while, sighed secretly, bent his knees, and stretched out his hands back, "Come up." ”

Hey, the battle was successful!

Zhuzhu's words are honest and don't deceive me.,Sure enough, men love women who will show weakness.。 This thought turned in her mind, and she heard Li Yi say in front of her: "Don't show this expression next time, it's ugly." ”

“……”

Zhu Zhu, this big liar.

Li Yi carried her home, and then went to the kitchen to give her a hot meal. After a while, he brought the food to the table and woke up the woman who was dozing off.

Jin Yunlan rubbed her sleepy eyes, grabbed her chopsticks and began to pick up rice. Li Yi sat aside in a daze at the lychee in the baggage, and for a long time, he pointed to the rough husk of the fruit and asked her.

"How do you eat this thing?"

Jin Yunlan blinked his eyes, and it was a pity that he had not eaten lychee, a sweet and refreshing fruit. She put down her chopsticks, peeled off the scaly red shell in front of him, and the crystal clear flesh emerged, and then held the snow-white and sweet flesh to his lips.

"Open your mouth."

Li Yi frowned, and took a bite of his lips reservedly. The moment the sweet juice invaded his taste buds, his eyes lit up and he smiled amazingly.

Foul!

Too foul!

When Jinyun Lan saw his sudden smile, her heart moved, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. She heroically pulled the empty bowl in front of Li Yan, rolled up her sleeves and peeled the lychee shell for him, "I'll peel it for you, you try to eat it." ”

Li Yi didn't understand why her sudden motivation was, and she didn't know that her unintentional smile had captured a budding girl's heart. But the taste of this fruit is really attractive.

Jin Yunlan covered her healing heart. If she could see him like this every day, it would be worth a hundred times her hard work.

She supported him with one hand, smiling at him with a rare look of satisfaction and happiness, thinking that this is really the best in the world.

Hey, hey, hey.

It doesn't seem bad if you can kidnap him into the house and just let him smile at himself like this every day.

"Do you know the name of this fruit?"

Li Yan shook his head slightly.

"It's called Lychee."

Li Yi suddenly let out an "oh", and his reaction was much more vivid than usual.

Jin Yunlan squinted and smiled.

As soon as the red dust concubine smiled, she seemed to understand.

After that, Jin Yunlan took the opportunity to learn from Li Yi to bring him some fresh and delicious food, or freshly baked chestnut cake from East Street, or the famous salt-baked chicken in the restaurant, even if it was a good thing she had eaten over the years, she gave them one by one, just to make him smile.

However, Li Yan's smile is really not easy to earn, except for the first lychee that won his favor, he has been in little interest several times since.

After a long time, she felt more and more that he was like the praise who didn't like to laugh, and she was the sad and laughing King Zhou You.

After many times, the children of Kongshan all knew that the patriarch's family often had delicacies, and they surrounded Li Yan all day long and asked her when she would go up the mountain.

Jin Yunlan didn't expect that the original method of capturing people's hearts would be so simple.

It's just that she went up the mountain today and brought something different.

She carried two large boxes of books into Li Yi's house.

This matter has to start with her participation in flood control.

This year, since the beginning of summer, the rain has been intense. Watch the water level in the moat rise visibly with the naked eye. Drainage was not good for a while, so as not to flood the whole city. The clan urgently ordered the start of flood control work.

In view of her diligent work and good attitude in recent days, the patriarch elected her to be in charge of flood control. The elders of the clan held a meeting, and after discussing it collectively, they quickly passed the proposal, and then Jinyunlan, who was unaware, quickly put on a cloak and hat and sat by the moat, and braved the rain to prevent floods with everyone.

Everything is arranged in a flash of light.

Due to the proximity of the canal in the lower reaches of the moat to the suburban paddy fields, it was much cheaper for farmers to water their crops in the past. But once the flood bursts, large areas of grain will inevitably bear the brunt.

Jin Yunlan was worried in her heart, seeing that it was busy with farming, and under harsh conditions, everyone accelerated the harvesting speed.

In those days, she worked day and night, non-stop, ramming an earth-stone dam along the moat with the others, and successfully blocked the river that had overflowed the shore. Seeing the sun rising and shining on the earth, everyone also raised their arms and cheered, breathing a sigh of relief.

The whole clan praised her performance this time and was impressed by her. In particular, the owners of the paddy fields near the north and south canals have thanked her for her hard work and dedication day and night.

For a while, she received a lot of praise from top to bottom.

The matter has also come to an end for the time being, and the follow-up work will be relayed by others in the clan.

It's just that she has always prided herself on being in good health, but she doesn't want to be washed down by the hard work and rain for many days.

After she went up the mountain to bring food to Li Yi after a long absence, she had a discussion with him in the back mountain, and she just relied on the roots of the tree to rest for a while during the intermission, and when she woke up in a daze, she felt that the world was spinning, her whole body was sore, and her limbs were as if they were filled with lead.

Hearing Li Yi calling her, she seemed to have taken root in the land and couldn't stand up.

Li Yi saw that her face was tired, her cheeks were flushed, and she touched her forehead with her upper hand, which was really hot. He had to take her home first.

Jin Yunlan was suspenseful about the homework of the next morning. That Zhao Ziyang likes to pick her thorns the most, and whenever she is a little unsatisfactory to him, he turns his face and goes to her father to make a small report. What is hateful is that the clan is very concerned about her performance, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, focusing on her strengths and weaknesses, and not allowing her father to have the opportunity to favor her.

If he can't hand in his homework tomorrow, wouldn't he let Zhao Ziyang grab her handle again, and he will have another gimmick to make trouble.

Thinking of this, she was distraught, and even if she was locked in a coffin, she had to climb out and finish writing those assignments.

The book bag happened to be right next to me.

She opened her red-hot eyes and groped around, but she didn't find her schoolwork, but she came across a soft place. She took the opportunity to knead it a few times, and she could still feel the tight touch through the fabric.

A hand grabbed her thin wrist, grabbed it from his thigh, and threw it to the side mercilessly, "Don't touch it." ”

Jinyunlan vaguely saw that he was holding his homework and watching intently. Fang wanted to ask him for it, but he pointed to a word and asked himself, "What does this word read?" ”

Jin Yunlan squinted, focused on the ghost's gaze, and said, "This word is pronounced 'all', which is the whole meaning. ”

Li Yi let out an "oh" in understanding, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the text has evolved like this. ”

Jin Yunlan realized that the Li clan had been locked up for many years, and their knowledge was far from enough, so that their education level was backward, and the evolution of the font made them unable to connect with this world.

It seems that in order for the Li family to smoothly integrate into the world in the future, cultural education is also a very serious problem.

Li Yi held her homework and watched it with relish, he suddenly pointed out a mistake in her, and said seriously: "The answer to this question should be, A, D, C, B." ”

Jin Yunlan glanced up at the complicated question, and it was the strange type of question, and she pounded the bed in distraught, only to feel that her head was becoming more and more chaotic. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and before she lost consciousness, she muttered to Li Yi: "You can write it for me, write whatever you want, and fill it up." ”

She then fell into a coma.

Li Yi saw that the corners of her forehead were constantly sweating, her pale lips opened slightly, and she exhaled hot air heavily. Her eyes were closed, her brows furrowed slightly, and she seemed to be sleeping very restlessly.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and withdraw it, hesitated for a while, but still took off the handkerchief from her forehead, wiped the sweat from her face little by little, soaked it again in cold water, wrung it out, and put it on her forehead.

As he was about to leave, his fingers were wrapped in hot palms.

A chaotic murmur came from behind him.

"Don't go. Stay with me for a while, just a little longer. ”

Li Yi's eyebrows moved, and she slowly sat back on the edge of the bed, letting her hot fingers clasp his tail finger tightly.

The room was quiet, and Jinyunlan fell into a deep sleep again, except for the sound of the two of them breathing one after another, there was only the occasional slight sound of lamp oil bursting.

Li Tang came back with a bundle of firewood, and when he passed by Li Yu's room, he saw this quiet and peaceful scene through the crack in the hidden door. The corners of his eyes were slightly constricted, and complex emotional fluctuations flashed in his eyes.
