After breakfast, Bai Chi took an umbrella and went out to find Hu Yunxiao.

Albinism is actually not that serious, not to mention that he still has the crystal core. At most, his eyes will feel uncomfortable under the scorching sun.

It’s just that Hu Yunxiao always makes a fuss about nothing, as if he would die immediately if he went into the sun without an umbrella.

Over time, Bai Chi got used to holding an umbrella when going out - as long as the sun was shining.

The people in Qinghe Village have also gotten used to it. Whenever they see the familiar oil-paper umbrella from afar, they will walk around it.

When country people work, they wear straw raincoats even when it rains. The number of people who have umbrellas at home can be counted on one hand in the whole village.

When Bai Chi found Hu Yunxiao, he was weeding in the paddy field. The knee-high rice was lush green and looked very pleasing to the eye.

Bai Chi doesn't often come to the fields, but when he came here just now, he paid attention to other people's paddy fields.

Refined rice is expensive and only rich people can afford it, so many people will grow it and sell it for a lot of money.

Wheat and rice are the most profitable crops every year.

So every household planted a few acres of rice.

Bai Chi just took a look and found that, in comparison, their rice seedlings were darker in color, had thicker stems, and grew in larger clumps.

Yes, if you want a higher yield, the plant itself cannot look malnourished.

"Achi, why are you here? There are a lot of mosquitoes in this field, please be careful."

Hu Yunxiao casually threw a handful of weeds onto the edge of the field, and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. When he saw Bai Chi coming over, a smile was obvious on his face.

mosquito?

So far, Bai Chi has not encountered any mosquitoes, and even their home has never had mosquitoes, but Hu Yunxiao obviously did not notice this.

He ignored it and scanned the paddy field with his eyes.

"Brother Hu, I heard there are eels in the paddy fields. When can we catch them?"

On the surface of the soil in the paddy field, you can see some winding traces, and I don’t know whether they were left by fish or eels.

"Wait another half month or so, but come at night because the eels only come out at night."

"Okay, let's go together then. I haven't caught eels in years."

Bai Chi was very interested, but Hu Yunxiao thought about how after Bai Chi's grandmother passed away, his fields were occupied by the village chief's family, so naturally he had no place to catch crabs.

I felt heartbroken immediately.

"If Ah Chi likes, we can come tonight, but the eels are not fat enough right now."

"It's okay, just wait half a month, there's no rush anyway."

He walked around and came to the edge of the field near Hu Yunxiao, and took out a water bag.

"Drink some water. It's getting late. When are you going back?"

Hu Yunxiao washed his hands in the field, took the water bag and drank most of it in one breath. It was a hot day and he was sweating profusely after working for a while.

"It's almost done. There's still half an acre of land left. It will take at most half an hour. Ah Chi, you go back first. It's very hot outside."

Bai Chi agreed and did go back, but he came back soon with a small bucket and tongs.

Under Hu Yunxiao's puzzled gaze, he casually picked up a twisting black insect from the paddy field.

"Leech?"

Incandescent nodded.

"This is also a medicinal herb. There are too many in the field. Don't you feel pain?"

Hu Yunxiao lifted one of his legs, with two leeches hanging on it. However, his expression did not change at all. He patted the skin near where the leeches had bitten him. Due to the vibration, the leeches quickly let go of their mouths and fell back into the paddy field.

"I'll get used to the pain after a while. I've experienced this often before. Ah Chi is really amazing. He actually knew that this is also a medicinal herb. Can I sell it to the clinic?"

Bai Chi looked at Hu Yunxiao's calf helplessly. The place where the leech had bitten him had already started to bleed, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he became more curious about Bai Chi.

The mental power went to Hu Yunxiao and drove away all the leeches near him.

"The price is not cheap. I'm going to town tomorrow, so I can ask at the clinic."

He often sells herbal medicine and is considered a regular customer of the clinic.
