Chapter 107: The Grain Hurts the Peasants
Liang Jiayin looked at the crystal sweet potato in Lu An's hand, her stomach sounded one step ahead of reason, and she was no longer reserved.
Under his gaze, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to take a small bite.
The moment the tip of the tongue touches the sweet potato, the warm sweetness spreads out on the lips and teeth.
"It's delicious."
Before swallowing, Liang Jiayin made an evaluation first.
Lu An asked her to eat more if it was delicious, and there were three or four roasted in the fire, enough for them to eat and wear.
"Isn't it okay for us to eat other people's white food like this?" Liang Jiayin took the sweet potato in his hand that was no longer hot and asked in his heart.
Lu An pointed to the grain in the corner and said, "I pressed 20 yuan of cash under that pile of sweet potatoes."
It was the only cash he had on him.
It's not much, but it's not enough to eat people's white food.
Liang Jiayin listened to his words and looked up at him again.
She suddenly realized that this person was quite kind.
This is another merit that she finds in him today.
Liang Jiayin silently wrote it down.
After eating the sweet potato, Lu An picked up a few chestnuts for Liang Jiayin in the grain pile again to satisfy her hunger.
He said that the chestnuts at this time of year are the sweetest.
Liang Jiayin knows what fried chestnuts look like, but he has never seen chestnuts that have not yet been shelled.
She looked at the thing that looked like a sea urchin, and couldn't help but be curious, and reached out to touch it, Lu An was about to stop her, but it was too late.
Her fingertips had been pricked with blood from the chestnut shell.
Liang Jiayin looked at the blood droplets on his fingertips and felt a faint pain.
"It's a terrible thorn."
"That's why I won't let you touch it." Lu An walked over and quickly checked her bleeding fingers.
Fortunately, there was pure water and a band-aid in the backpack, and he took out the water and rinsed her bleeding fingers, and when it was half-dry, he double-checked it again before taking the band-aid and putting it on the bag.
"I looked, there shouldn't be any thorns in your fingers, just punctured through your dermis. Don't touch the water for these two days, you shouldn't get infected."
Lu An said with experience, and Liang Jiayin couldn't help but sigh that he knew so much.
"When I was a child, I was always poked, and later I had an experience, this kind of unripe fruit is not ***, and if it has opened its buds, it can be taken out directly. But at that time, I was very curious, and I often stepped on the fruit of the un***, and the shoes were cheap, so these thorns would always poke my heels."
Lu An told interesting stories from his childhood, and Liang Jiayin listened to these farm jobs that he had never experienced with relish.
She didn't know if it was because she hadn't experienced it because she felt novel, or because it was all because of ...... He.
"You had a pretty rich childhood."
"That's how almost every kid from the countryside comes here."
Lu An recounted his life as a child. When he saw her envious eyes, he hurriedly waved his hand at her, "Don't be envious, we still crave toys in the hands of children in the city."
"When you were a kid, it was hard to pick chestnut fruit, right? The thorns are so long that they can easily get pricked by accident."
Liang Jiayin couldn't help but complain about the appearance of chestnuts, she had never seen the real face of chestnuts, and thought that chestnuts were naturally smooth and round, who knew that this surface was like a hedgehog.
"There's nothing hard about farming. The saddest thing is the harvest. You can't make money with a small amount, and you can't make money with a large amount, but you can't make enough manpower. In addition, the consignee's price reduction is ruthless, and after the grain cheapness hurts the farmers, many young people are now reluctant to work in the village."
Lu An said a realistic problem, Liang Jiayin bit the chestnut he peeled in her mouth, although she couldn't eat the raw chestnut, but after listening to his words, she suddenly felt that the thing in her mouth became fragrant.
She didn't spit it out, and even felt that the raw chestnuts became more fragrant the more she chewed them.
Lu An is really like a teacher sometimes.
No, he was originally a teacher.
*
After the two of them had a full meal, it was already dark outside.
Lu An looked at the night outside the cave, and was about to talk to Liang Jia
The sound discussed the question of where to stay.
Xu Hua called Liang Jiayin at this time.
The meaning of Xu Hua's call was to ask Liang Jiayin.
Asked her why she had been gone for so long and hadn't returned to the campsite, thinking something had happened to her.
Liang Jiayin is indeed in trouble.
I'm just afraid that they will be worried, and they lie that it is raining, and the road is slippery on rainy days, and they can't go down the mountain.
She knew that if she told Xu Hua truthfully, he would definitely send a car to pick her up, but Liang Jiayin didn't want to.
One is originally because the road is slippery, although the terrain is flat, but in the end it is a mountain road, in case something really happens...... She wouldn't dare bet.
Second, she felt quite at ease with Lu An.
It's the kind of peace of mind that feels secure.
It was these factors that prompted her to lie to Xu Hua.
Lu An faintly heard something, if it continues to rain, I am afraid that it will not be able to fall in the mountains tonight.
He walked to the straw pile, fiddled with the rectangular shape, and spread it thickly, before taking out the compressed sleeping bag from his backpack and asking Liang Jiayin, "Can you accept sleeping on this straw bed?"
「……」
Liang Jiayin originally planned to sit here for one night, anyway, it would be dawn in a few hours, but she didn't expect Lu An to make a bed for her temporarily.
It's just that she looked at the darkening cave, she had never camped outdoors, and she was inevitably a little scared in her heart, "You say, there won't be beasts or anything like that in the middle of the night, right?"
Here are just her and Lu An, they are powerless, if they really encounter a beast, wouldn't it be ......
Liang Jiayin felt that he had thought simplely, but after the sky really entered the night, the thoughts of fear were easy to occupy the nerves of the whole person.
Lu An grew up in a small village, and in the face of such an environment, he was obviously much bolder than Liang Jiayin.
He comforted her and said, "As a national scenic spot, there should be no wild beasts in Daming Mountain. Besides, there are villages around here, and wild beasts dare not come. I will make the fire bigger, and the hole will be brighter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he added firewood to the pile of stones.
At the same time, the outdoor flashlight was turned on, and for a while, the hole was brightly lit.
"You rest early, I'll keep vigil."
As he spoke, he helped her unpack the compressed sleeping bag.
Liang Jiayin was holding a sleeping bag, and he didn't stand or sleep for a while.
"I'm the champion of staying up late, you should rest quickly."
Lu An said with a smile, meaning that she should not be burdened.
Liang Jiayin got into the sleeping bag, and wanted to just do it, but the place on the pillow of the sleeping bag was too low, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.
Seeing this, Lu An seemed to see her unnaturalness at a glance, so he tied up a handful of straw and used it as a pillow and pressed it under her.
"Is that more comfortable?" He asked intimately.
Liang Jiayin felt the height of the straw, and his heart said, the wilderness survival ability of the land shore is also fantastic.
She smiled at him in admiration and satisfaction.
Lu An looked at the smile on her face, and instantly felt her smile, like a flower swaying on the branches outside the cave, and as soon as the wind blew, it fell on his heart.
