My Gentleman Reborn

The water in the newly built well is still unusable, and it will take a week for it to be clear and edible.

He Yuzhou paid Guan Hairen's wages. The well cost less than he imagined. It cost 14 taels in total. If it wasn't for the better food in the past two days, Qi Yan's silver taels would not have been used at all, but these two days To entertain everyone, He Yuzhou spent some silver taels, so he took ten taels from Qi Yan, and bought the best clothes for Qi Yan, which also cost 30 taels.

After doing all this, they still had enough money left on them, and now, He Yuzhou felt relieved.

Qi Yan's hand has also been torn off these days, and the wound has scabbed over, and his complexion looks much ruddy.

He Yuzhou felt that he was in good health, he looked like he was going to die before, but now he has become a good person in a short time.

Qi Yan was ready, and the well was built, so they followed Zheng Qi up the mountain the next day.

The trees on the mountain were lush, Zheng Qi walked ahead with a bow and arrow, and walked out of a path, Qi Yan followed behind protecting He Yuzhou.

The woods were not as dry as outside, with a hint of humidity. He Yuzhou looked around, full of curiosity.

Qi Yan looked at the direction of the river mouth when he went up the mountain. The trees in that area were all yellow, but the trees of this generation were very lush from the moment he walked through the bamboo forest into the mountain. There must be other water sources in this generation.

"Follow me closely, this generation has the most beasts, be careful." Zheng Qi said suddenly.

Qi Yan moved a little closer to He Yuzhou.

Zheng Qidao: "Although it is a place frequented by wild animals, it is also a place with the most prey, so I often come up, so you don't need to be too nervous."

He Yuzhou laughed when he heard that, this Zheng Qi was also careful, he not only warned them to be careful, but also calmed their fears.

He Yuzhou came up this time with three purposes. One is to pick some flowers to grow back. The previous jasmine was far from enough. The other is to see what wild fruits are available. He is not only good at scented tea but also fruit tea, and the third is tea. It is also best to transplant a few plants, so that you don't have to come to the mountains to pick tea.

Therefore, his eyes have been on the surrounding vegetation since he went up the mountain.

This time, they strolled leisurely. Zheng Qi is a very experienced hunter, and he brought He Yuzhou and Qi Yan through the forest without encountering any danger.

He Yuzhou finally got his wish and dug enough jasmine trees. He also let him find two wild osmanthus saplings and some wild chrysanthemums. He Yuzhou also dug them.

The location of the tea tree was informed by Zhao Yishu, and He Yuzhou dug several tea trees of different varieties from there. After walking around for a while, they stopped.

At this time, Zheng Qi had already hunted several hares, pheasants, and a deer.

Resting on the spot, Zheng Qi silently lit a fire and roasted a hare for Qi Yan and He Yuzhou.

The outside was charred and the inside was roasted. It tasted very good. He Yuzhou ate half of the rabbit at once. His face was flushed, and he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

Seeing him like this, Qi Yan smiled freely. He reached out and took the half roasted rabbit, squinted at He Yuzhou who was blushing, put the rabbit meat under his nose and smelled it, and sighed: "This rabbit is delicious!" It smells so good."

He Yuzhou glared at him, Qi Yan chuckled, blew on the heat from the roasted rabbit, tore off a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth while He Yuzhou was not paying attention.

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and wanted to spit it out, but he was defeated by the deliciousness of the roasted rabbit, so he ate it with his mouth.

When he wanted to speak to Qi Yan, the next piece of rabbit meat went into his mouth again... It was impossible for him to spit it out

Just like that, one after another, Qi Yan fed the other half of the rabbit, He Yuzhou was too full to speak, Qi Yan looked at him playfully, and He Yuzhou rolled his eyes at him.

This man was hungry, so it was really strange to feed him so full.

"Young Master Qi." Zheng Qi on the opposite side suddenly called out.

Then a black shadow flashed past, Qi Yan reached out and caught the black shadow, which was half a roast chicken.

Qi Yan smiled, and raised his hand towards Zheng Qiyang who was opposite: "Thank you Zheng Orion."

After eating and resting for a while, they continued to wander in the mountains, but their luck was far worse than that of the morning. They didn't hunt any prey, and they didn't find any useful vegetation.

However, He Yuzhou discovered lemons. Lemons are called another world, and this world is called Yimuguo.

In this world, mother fruit is loved by pregnant women and is good for the fetus, but in another world, it is a fruit that many people like, but it should be eaten with tea.

He Yuzhou drank this kind of fruit tea before, and it tasted quite good. Now that he found this, he picked some and planned to go back and try to make it.

After wandering around for a long time, Zheng Qi took the two of them back without finding any useful prey.

Although he didn't find any good things in the afternoon, He Yuzhou had already returned with a full reward from those in the morning.

When he got home, he was so tired that he drenched the plants with water, but He Yuzhou didn't care about them anymore. It was too late today, and he couldn't plant them.

After dinner with Qi Yan, they went to rest.

On the second day, He Yuzhou got up a little late, and Qi Yan was not there when he got up.

He Yuzhou felt a little strange, went out to look for him, but still couldn't see him.

He frowned, flustered.

When that person appeared, he was seriously injured, and he promised to stay here for a while, but he disappeared. Could it be that the enemy came here?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhou searched quickly, and went to Zhao Yi, Guan Da Niang, and Cong Di's house one by one, but he was nowhere to be seen.

He Yuzhou panicked completely.

Just at this time, he was patted on the back suddenly, He Yuzhou turned his head, and it was Qi Yan with smiling eyes who patted him.

Seeing him, He Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a knot of depression clogged his chest.

Why didn't this person call him when he went out? I wonder if he would be in a hurry?

He wanted to question, but he couldn't utter the question. In the end, he glared at him, turned and left without saying a word, with a sulking look on his face.

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange, he turned and followed, stepped forward and took He Yuzhou's hand, He Yuzhou wanted to get rid of him, but he stubbornly refused to give him a chance.

"Are you worried about me?" Qi Yan asked.

He Yuzhou turned his head away: "Who would care about a strange, impolite, and frivolous person?"

Qi Yan looked at He Yuzhou in surprise.

He Yuzhou said: "Go out without making a sound, if you are really in danger, you will ask for it!"

Qi Yan blinked when he heard the words, and then chuckled: "Sure enough, I care about you."

When He Yuzhou heard the words, he gritted his teeth, flung Qi Yan hard, and Qi Yan quickly grabbed him again, with a little more strength: "The girl is really strong, but..."

Qi Yan leaned close to He Yuzhou's ear and said softly, "Is it because you care so much that it's difficult to talk about many things? Is it because you care so much that you don't want to admit that you care?"

"Yu'er...is he already tempted?" Qi Yan approached him and said softly.

He Yuzhou was taken aback, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He is tempted?joke!

He sneered, but suddenly fell silent and hesitated. In just one moment, Qi Yan forced him to pull him in another direction. He Yuzhou was taken aback and couldn't care about the weird feeling in his heart. , holding Qi Yan backhanded and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"

"Follow me." Qi Yan acted mysteriously.

He Yuzhou's brows were locked into Chuanwen.

Qi Yan pulled him all the way into the mountain, the more he went in, the more lush the trees became, and the mountain road was almost gone.

Finally, after pushing away the branches and weeds in front of him, he suddenly saw a pile of rocks, messy rocks, and an open area. He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan suspiciously, but Qi Yan continued to pull him through the mess. The stone pile looks like a cave in front of it.

The entrance of the cave was dark and looked very unsafe. Qi Yan pulled him and was about to enter, but He Yuzhou stopped in his tracks: "Where is this place, isn't it safe?"

Qi Yan smiled and comforted: "No problem, I just explored the way, you come with me."

As he spoke, he pulled him in, He Yuzhou frowned, but it also aroused a little curiosity, what exactly is Qi Yan going to do?

The cave that I just entered was slightly bright, but the further I went in, the more gloomy and dark it became.

Feeling wet under his feet, He Yuzhou moved slightly closer to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan chuckled, let go of He Yuzhou's hand, and walked forward with his shoulders instead.

Being led by Qi Yan all the way, he seemed to turn a corner, and saw a faint light in front of him.

After walking forward for a while, they arrived at the place of light. Only then did He Yuzhou see the scene in front of him clearly. The light was shining from a mountaintop above.

There were rustling sounds from the dark forked hole, He Yuzhou looked back at Qi Yan suspiciously, Qi Yan raised his head towards He Yuzhou, and signaled him to go to the hole on the right.

He Yuzhou plucked up the courage to go in. Through the faint light, he walked through a short passage and saw a bottom hole, which was full of water! ! !

He Yuzhou's eyes widened in astonishment. Near the stone wall was a stone rock. There were deer standing on the stone rock. The rustling sound was the deer licking the water in the cave...

"Water source..." He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan in astonishment.

Qi Yan squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand and slapped his hand, chuckled: "Isn't it just the source of water, does Yu'er like it?"

He Yuzhou swallowed his saliva: "You... you went out silently in the morning just to find this?"

Qi Yan said with a smile: "Uncle Qian told me about finding water sources before, and I also suspect that there are other water sources in this mountain. I went up with Yuer yesterday to explore for a while, and today I have an idea and come up to try my luck. "

As he said that, Qi Yan smiled lowly: "Don't let me hit you straight."

As he said that, he stood up: "There is a spring at the bottom of this cave. Usually, the water should not have passed the place we just walked through. Maybe it is in the cave because of the drought now, but the cave is deep. Unpredictable, this water should be enough for the people of Hekou Village to survive for a year and a half, so the drought is not to be feared."

"Now, Yu'er should feel more at ease." Qi Yan looked at He Yuzhou with a slight smile.

He Yuzhou was slightly taken aback, how does this person know that he is not at ease?

There was a severe drought in Hekou Village. Although he built a well, there was no danger of water shortage, and he looked irrelevant on weekdays, but he was still a little worried in the bottom of his heart. After all, this was the first place he settled down after leaving He's residence. There is always something emotional about this place.

He thought he was covering it up very well, but in fact, many times he contained his emotions very well, Zhao Yi, Cong Di and others couldn't see the clues, but this man could.

No, maybe he didn't see it, but he... would unconsciously reveal some emotions that shouldn't be expressed in front of him.

For example, just now, he shouldn't be angry. Although they live together, they are not each other's people after all. When they went out in the morning or even left, there is actually no need to tell the other party.

But he was inexplicably angry, he showed it when he was angry, and even played a little temper, it shouldn't be him, He Yuzhou lowered his eyes, he shouldn't be so immature.

Could it be that he was so reckless because he felt comfortable in his presence?Is it true that, as this person said, he couldn't control his emotions because he was moved by him?

No, not right.

He is a man.

But... in the eyes of this man, he is a woman...

He Yuzhou was startled suddenly, and looked at Qi Yan. This is wrong, and this man must not be misunderstood any longer.

Qi Yan was taken aback by He Yuzhou's gaze, and he approached him with a light smile: "What's the matter, Yu'er, you look so sad that you're about to cry, are you unhappy that you found water?"

"Master Qi...I..."

"Master Qi!" Another voice suddenly came from the entrance of the cave, and He Yuzhou turned around to see that it was Zheng Liehu who was leading Cong Di and Zhao Yi.

He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, Qi Yan gave He Yuzhou a comforting smile, said softly "wait a moment", then strayed towards Zheng Liehu and the others, looked at Congdi and said, "This cave is the water I mentioned, it's enough water. Hekou Village has been there for a while, but how should the water be brought down to the village for the villagers to use..." Qi Yan glanced at Zhao Yi: "It depends on Zhao Xiucai and your wisdom."

Qi Yan had a hint of arrogance.

The three of them didn't notice his expression, and their minds were all on the water in the cave. Qi Yan closed his eyes and shrugged helplessly: "I'm a little tired, Yu'er, let's go back first."

"Hmm..." He Yuzhou was also a little dazed. Qi Yan smiled lightly and pulled him out of the cave. Seeing that He Yuzhou was still dumbfounded, he explained: "Zheng Orion is familiar with the mountains, so I told Zheng Orion about water. Let him bring the village chief and scholar up here, so that we don't have to worry about the water, they will naturally lead the water to the village, Yuer, don't worry, Hekou Village won't be dry, don't worry. Looking unhappy."

He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and replied softly, without any spirit.

Qi Yan squinted at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you still angry about what happened in the morning?"

When He Yuzhou heard the words, he shook his head suddenly, but it seemed to be covering up, Qi Yan smiled and said: "Then I promise Yu'er, I will tell you where I go from now on, okay?"

"..." He Yuzhou didn't answer, and changed the subject: "I haven't had breakfast yet, I must be hungry, let's go back soon."

"Okay." Qi Yan replied, "I want to eat white fungus soup."

"There is none at home."

"Isn't there one on the mountain?"

"..."

In the end, they went around and found the white fungus before returning home. It was almost noon when they got home, so He Yuzhou simply cooked for lunch. As for the white fungus, he made two small bowls for dessert.

After lunch, He Yuzhou had the habit of taking a nap, but the day was getting hotter and hotter, so hot that it affected his sleep. He lay on the bed at noon and sweated from side to side, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Reluctantly got up, and wiped his body with some water, He Yuzhou remembered the fruit tea he drank in another world—lemon black tea.

The sourness of lemon, the richness of black tea, and the extremely cooling ice cubes are the best way to quench your thirst and heat in summer.

However, the conditions here are limited, and there is no way to get ice cubes. The well can be frozen, but this well is not yet usable, and the water in it is still turbid.

In desperation, He Yuzhou had no choice but to try it without ice to see if it tasted good.

He took out two lemons, cut them into slices, mashed the middle of the lemons, squeezed out the juice, put them in a bowl to marinate with sugar, and boiled water on the other side to soak the black tea brought by Zhao Yi.

When the black tea cooled down, the lemons over there were almost pickled. He Yuzhou mixed the two together, took them out, knocked on the door of the east wing, and wanted to drink with Qi Yan.

When he opened the door and entered, Qi Yan was busy with something at the table by the window with a pen and paper.

He Yuzhou didn't call him, put the fruit tea aside, and approached him softly.

When I got close to him, I realized that he was painting with a pen.

The painting is a peony, although the color is monotonous, but the ink-colored peony branches leap onto the paper, and the flower plate is like a living one, swaying in the wind.

It is a good painting!

He Yuzhou looked at it, liking it tightly in his heart, and there was a chuckle in his ear, and Qi Yan's joking voice came: "Yuer likes it very much?"

He Yuzhou nodded fascinatedly, and Qi Yan smiled: "Then... Yu'er, let's write poetry."

"Writing poetry?" He Yuzhou looked at Qi Yan, and Qi Yan said: "There is artistic conception only when there are poems and paintings."

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and replied, "I don't know how to compose poetry."

Qi Yan smiled lightly when he heard the words, but he didn't force it. He just put down the pen, picked up the painting, blew on it, and put it aside to dry: "I see that Yu'er's window hasn't been pasted with window paper, so I just put it down." I drew these paintings on my own initiative to paste the windows for Yuer."

He Yuzhou looked at the place he was pointing at, and there were several paintings hanging there, all of which were plants, such as orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo, etc. He was taken aback for a moment and said, "These are used to paste windows Such a waste."

"You can't say that." Qi Yan said with a smile: "Yu'er's place is very elegant. Wouldn't it be very artistic to paste these on the window? It was meant to be pasted with paper, so it's better to paste these, it looks comfortable."

"Or Yu'er thinks these paintings are not good?" Qi Yan squinted at him.

He Yuzhou shook his head, Qi Yan said with a smile: "Then just paste it later, this window has been empty for a while."

Said, Qi Yan washed the pen and put away the ink tray: "It seems that Zheng Orion borrowed this from Uncle Zhao Yi for me, so why don't you send it back later?"

He Yuzhou responded: "Well, I'll deliver it later, I made a cup of fruit tea just now, do you want to try it?"

"Of course I want to taste Yu'er's tea." Qi Yan smiled and walked towards the table. He Yuzhou looked at his back with a complicated expression on his face. He didn't approve of him calling it that way, it always felt a little too intimate.

Although he didn't approve, he didn't explicitly refuse either... When he called Yu'er, he would respond.

Should... correct his name?Or let him do this?

Thinking about it, He Yuzhou smirked again, it was just a title...

That's it.

Thinking of this, he also stepped forward and took a sip of fruit tea.

He opened his eyes in surprise. He thought that without ice cubes and using sugar instead of honey, the taste would be much different from what he had been drinking before, but this lemon was probably picked from the mountains, and it was very fragrant. It was paired with black tea. , taste surprisingly good.

If there are ice cubes, it may be better than what he drank in other worlds.

He Yuzhou drank it, went to see Qi Yan, and found that he liked it too, so he drank most of the glass.

The fruit tea was made successfully, and when He Yuzhou went to return the pen and ink, he made a copy and brought it to Zhao Xiaoqing.

Zhao Xiaoqing liked it very much, Zhao Yi and Aunt Zhao also tasted it, Zhao Aunt liked it more than Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yishu was more curious about how He Yuzhou made it.

He Yuzhou said that it was brewed from black tea, and Zhao Yi laughed: "It turns out that tea can still be drunk like this."

He Yuzhou smiled lightly, and by the way, asked for some more black tea to go back, the family had almost enough to drink.

When I got home, I had time to plant the vegetation I brought down from the mountains yesterday. The vegetation was a little wilted. After all, it was a dry period.

Jasmine finally had enough, planted around the pit, and the fragrance was condensed.

He planted the other flowers with the lily field outside the bamboo forest. Although these wild flowers have strong viability, they also appear to be a little sluggish due to lack of water. He Yuzhou brought the muddy water from the well to irrigate. I can't drink it, but watering the flowers is no problem. If these flowers can survive, then in the next year or so, this area will be a sea of ​​flowers, and he can pick whatever scented tea he wants to make directly.

The osmanthus tree He Yuzhou was planted in the yard. Although the yard is not big, there must always be a place to enjoy the shade.

The tea trees are planted on the side of the flower field, which is also easy to pick.

After doing this, He Yuzhou felt a little more relaxed.

After a few days, the well at home was ready for water.
