Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

His eyebrows, which were already raised unruly, were now full of emotions and his eyes were burning.

She was seen gripping the sheets tightly, opening and closing her mouth slightly, trying to speak but being stuck in her throat.

She could feel her gaze moving downward, from her eyes to her lips and back to her eyes.

The path of his gaze seemed to be set on fire, and finally it settled back on his eyes, as if he was asking her if he could.

Zhao Yeqing subconsciously moved back as he was not used to it. The corners of Mu Xi's raised eyes instantly drooped, and there was a trace of hurt in his eyes.

"you dislike me?"

what! Slandering people, right? Isn’t it embarrassing anymore?

But when the words came to her mouth, the look and face she met made her speechless.

If the atmosphere hadn't reached this point, she would have wanted to give herself a slap in the face to make herself sober and stop being such a shameless person.

Zhao Yeqing retorted, "How can I?"

"Then you prove it."

Prove what?

She got the answer from the other party's actions without even asking.

The face of the man in front of him suddenly came closer. Before Zhao Yeqing could close his eyes, he felt an unfamiliar warmth and softness on his lips.

An electric current rushed through his body instantly, but Mu Xi did not go deeper. The warmth was instantaneous, but his eyes still met hers and did not leave. He just stared at her openly, and then touched his lips one by one.

The eyes looking at each other were gleaming, like the moonlight reflected on the sparkling lake. They met and then left and met again, seeming to induce her to respond.

She seemed to see a hungry wolf hiding behind the moonlight, and finally couldn't help but reveal its fangs.

The hands that were clenching the sheets were also clasped tightly by the fingers of the wide palms. Zhao Yeqing seemed to be bewitched, and the violent heartbeat that could still be heard at the beginning gradually became chaotic and unclear in his ears.

Her response was like a white rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's trap. For just a moment, she felt like she was about to be swallowed up.

After a while, when she felt that her breath had almost been taken away, the man's voice sounded vaguely, with a slight smile,

"Idiot, take a breath."

Zhao Yeqing became angry and pushed Mu Xi away.

He rolled over onto the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt from head to toe. The whole set of movements was done in one smooth motion.

"Pfft."

Hearing uncontrollable laughter from behind, Zhao Yeqing sat up, raised the pillow in his hand and threw it at him.

Mu Xi refused to dodge and let the pillow hit him before reaching out to catch it.

The curve of the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, obviously he was in a good mood.

He put the pillow for her, sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly approached her face again, and said with a smile: "To be honest, have you been harboring evil intentions towards me for a long time?"

Get lost.

Mu Xi was finally kicked out of bed by Zhao Yeqing.

Zhao Yeqing brushed his teeth and sighed that people really have many sides, such as Mu Xi now.

Ever since I woke up in the morning, my expression was like eating meat paste and snow cake for the first time.

She is the piece of meat.

After breakfast, Zhao Yeqing took out the ramie skin soaked in the bucket.

The injury on her hand was not serious. It had scabbed over this morning and she could touch the water.

Mu Xi was afraid that her newly scabbed wound would burst, so he still didn't let her deal with the ramie skin.

She handed the ramie knife to Mu Xi and helped him untie the bundles of ramie skins.

The ramie knife is a semi-grooved tool, made of iron, with a hollow cylinder made of bark tied into it. The thumb can be stuffed inside and the groove can just fit the cylinder.

Place the peeled ramie skin between the cylinder and the groove. With a strong pull, the rough layer on the surface of the ramie skin will be scraped off, leaving only the longest part of the middle fiber.

Use the middle part to make the rope.

Ramie fiber is the strongest among natural fibers and is very resistant to damage. It can also be used to make large traps to capture prey.

Mu Xi was handling the rope at home, while Zhao Yeqing took Xiaohong and Dahuang to graze, and took a look at the wheat fields and highland barley fields.

Zhao Yeqing looked around and his expression was not good. There were still aphids in the wheat field.

Now there are no insect repellent pesticides at home, and most of the villages below have been buried. Even after checking the supplies of a few houses, there is no pesticide that can be used to control aphids.

Black aphids were densely attached to the leaves of the wheat. Fortunately, not many were eaten. Zhao Yeqing could only temporarily wash away the aphids with water.

But this is only a temporary solution.

After sorting it out, when Xiaohong had almost eaten, she led her back home.

After briefly explaining the situation to Mu Xi, he entered the room to look for prevention and treatment methods.

The older generation does not rely too much on modern technology and still retains some methods inherited from ancient times.

Tobacco deworming.

She remembered that there was wild tobacco in the mountains, and the elders in the village used to pick it to make cigarettes, which was also used as traditional Chinese medicine.

She had to look down the mountain. Zhao Yeqing told Mu Xi that he would take the gun and go out with her.

Aphids must be controlled as early as possible, otherwise they will spread easily.

I followed the path down the mountain that I found later and started looking for it. I walked for an hour but couldn't find it.

Tobacco likes warmth and grows in the sun, but cannot tolerate cold. The two of them searched along the sunny side.

Now that the climate in the mountains is suitable, many plants that were thought to have dried up have actually secretly hidden their seeds in the ground, and sprouts sprout from the ground again after a sweet rain.

The two-month rainy season makes the forest full of life, and even ferns grow on the big trees.

Finally, I found tobacco near a chestnut tree covered with thorns.

Tobacco leaves are very large, one is as big as two palms.

The two of them stepped forward and picked off most of the tobacco leaves in sight, leaving a few leaves behind so that they could grow again next year after the seeds have fallen off.

Soaking tobacco leaves in water can not only control aphids, but also rice planthoppers that are easily infected by rice, thrips that are easily infected by corn, and red spider mites that can be infected by tomatoes and peppers.

A single tobacco plant is half as tall as a man, and a field of tobacco leaves is packed full of Mu Xi's basket and half of Zhao Yeqing's basket.

With half of the backpack still left, Zhao Yeqing glanced at the chestnut tree next to him.

Logically speaking, chestnuts should be out of season long ago, but the abnormal weather caused this chestnut tree to still bear fruit in February.

But there were not many fruits on the tree, and most of the thorn balls fell to the ground. Zhao Yeqing found one that looked plump and stepped on it with his feet.

The plump chestnuts are exposed.

She bent down and reached out to carefully take out the chestnut from the thorn ball, and bit it open with her teeth. The golden chestnut meat inside exuded a delicate fragrance.

The fresh chestnuts were sweet and crunchy. Zhao Yeqing squinted his eyes while eating them, and generously handed the second thorn ball to Mu Xi.

Mu Xi peeled it off twice and handed it to Zhao Yeqing, "You eat it first, and I'll knock it off the tree."

If the chestnuts fall on the ground and are not picked up for a long time, they will become rotten by insects. The ones on the trees are the freshest. You can only rely on luck to pick them up on the ground.
