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

Before Zhao Yeqing knew what was happening, he was pulled by the arm by a figure falling from the sky, staggered, and his head hit a hot chest.

She looked up blankly. Mu Xi was more than a head taller than her. When she looked up, she saw the clear jawline exposed by his slightly tilted head, and found that the person above her was not looking at her.

Following his line of sight, he discovered a black snake two fingers wide and thick. The wooden stick that was used to beat peaches had been penetrated from the middle of its body, and the snake's body was almost divided into two halves.

It's not dead yet, the snake's mouth is still opening and closing slightly, and it's very oozing.

This snake was less than half a meter away from where she was just now. It was probably coming towards people. If it wasn't for Mu Xi, she would have been bitten.

While she was still stunned, the heat source in front of her faded away, and Mu Xi calmly let go of her, squatting down to look at the snake.

"Maybe it's because the weather is too hot and the snake is agitated, otherwise it wouldn't come over and attack people."

Zhao Yeqing didn't quite hear the first half of the sentence. He was a little dizzy and only heard the second half. He even vaguely guessed that the first half of the sentence should have been about the weather being too hot.

He stuttered a little, "Yes, yes..."

Mu Xi heard her strange reply, stood up and came closer. Seeing that her expression was unnatural, he frowned slightly, "Are you scared?"

The heat source that had just faded came closer again. Zhao Yeqing took half a step back. She heard her own voice, "It's too hot..."

She didn't realize what she had said until she finished speaking. She quickly put her hand on her forehead and turned around as if she just realized it. "I seem to be suffering from heatstroke. Let's go back first."

"Can I still leave? Do I want to carry you back?"

"No!" Zhao Yeqing replied very quickly, but felt that he had answered too hastily, so he concealed it, "I can walk, it's just a slight heat stroke."

Mu Xi nodded, bent down and picked up the snake, "Take it back for extra food."

I was speechless all the way home.

Zhao Yeqing was reflecting on himself along the way.

It seemed that she didn't take this matter to heart at all. She just pulled her over because she was afraid of snakes. Her reaction seemed to be a little extreme.

Could it be that I am a little out of touch because I haven't seen him for so many years? It really shouldn't be like this.

After successfully convincing herself and deleting the hot feeling from her mind, she looked at the snake.

This snake was the same as the one that had entangled itself under the fallen tree and attacked her before. It was a black-tailed snake, but this one was bigger.

If she hadn't known that snakes didn't hold grudges and were different sizes, she would have suspected that the snake was here for revenge.

I decided to eat snake tonight, which meant that she wouldn't be the one cooking tonight.

She could eat snake meat, but she had to handle the snake. The thought of touching the long snake body with snake scales gave her goosebumps all over her body.

Zhao Yeqing didn't look at the snake any longer. He just said to Mu Xi before turning around and walking out of the kitchen, "I want some salt and pepper!"

She took the peaches she picked today to the yard and cleaned them. It was roughly estimated that they weighed about ten kilograms.

There was definitely not enough to eat. She wanted to make preserved fruits, but she felt it was a waste of sugar.

From the kitchen window, Mu Xi saw the confused faces of the people outside, "Don't you want to make wine?"

It's not impossible to make wine. Sugar is also needed to make peach wine. She still shook her head, "It takes too much sugar."

"Then you leave it for now. Eat as much as you can. Don't finish what you can't finish."

Zhao Yeqing thought so, so he put them in a bamboo basket in the living room and walked to the rabbit pen at the back with three in his hand.

All three of them squeezed it with their hands and picked the softest one. The remaining two threw them into the circle to give the rabbits extra food, then turned back to sit on the bench in the living room and prepared to eat peaches.

There are tiny hairs on the surface of the peach. If you bite it without peeling it, the tip of your tongue will feel itchy and numb, which greatly affects the taste.

But it is not as easy to peel as a peach. Its skin is tightly attached to the flesh, so it is best to peel it off with a knife.

Zhao Yeqing is not very good at peeling fruit. She usually uses a paring knife to peel the fruit. If she uses a knife, the pulp will be cut in half.

So under normal circumstances, if she only eats it by herself, she will choose to chew it with her teeth.

The teeth gnawed off the skin of the peach bit by bit, leaving a few rows of uneven marks. When she was a child, her grandmother always teased her, saying that the gnawed fruit looked like it had been eaten by mice.

Mu Xi walked out to get something and happened to see it. He was so speechless that the corner of his mouth twitched. He washed his hands, took a few peaches, peeled them, cored them, cut them into pieces, put them on a plate, and placed them on the table in the living room.

"You haven't grown in all these years, and you're not afraid of turning your teeth into buck teeth?"

For the sake of the peach on the table, Zhao Yeqing smiled without choking, "It's okay, I chewed it with my lower teeth."

After finishing a plate of peaches, she heard Mu Xi asking her to go out and pick some vegetables, and pick whatever she wanted to eat.

Zhao Yeqing planted another handful of leeks in the small vegetable garden. He had not eaten the leeks since the last time he ate from the box, and they had grown very tall again.

Handing the leek through the window, she turned around and walked outside, missing the complicated look in Mu Xi's eyes who turned around and saw the leek through the window.

I wanted to clean up the sweet potato leaves in the sweet potato field yesterday, but I wasn’t in a hurry. I’ll do it right now while I’m eating.

In just over two months, she had developed the habit of feeling exhausted if she didn't do anything.

If the sweet potato leaves are too lush, they will absorb too much nutrients, causing the sweet potato fruits in the ground to be unable to expand normally. They must be pruned appropriately, but not too much, which will affect photosynthesis.

The sweet potato leaves are spreading and growing close to the ground in the form of vines. Zhao Yeqing holds the scissors and collects each branch with his hands. Before he completes the circle, he can no longer hold it in his hands.

I can only put it aside first. When everything is trimmed, there are already a lot of sweet potato leaves trimmed on the ground.

It's really a pity that there is no pig in this house.

Grab a handful and throw them into the rabbit pen, hoping that the rabbits will grow white and fat and not let her sweet potato leaves live up to her.

She put a little space between the sweet potatoes and the potatoes, and the potatoes will probably be harvested soon.

It's just that potatoes don't grow as well as sweet potatoes, but that's within her expectation. Both crops prefer sandy soil, and potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in mountain soil are worse.

The leaves of the carrot next to it look pretty good, but I don’t know how the fruit is. This one was planted later and will take some time to harvest.

After cutting the sweet potato leaves, she came back to wash her hands. Only then did Mu Xi realize that she had run out again.

"Don't you mean heat stroke? Why are you running outside?"

Zhao Yeqing didn't dare to look at him and said carelessly, "Just finish eating the peaches. These peaches seem to taste better than before. You can try them later..."

After saying that, without waiting for his reply, he ran upstairs, "I'm going to take a shower first."
