Chapter 108 Yellow Skin

Ever since his birthday, Zhao Yeqing felt that Mu Xi had become a little strange.

For example, usually after she went out, Mu Xi would wash clothes after cutting grass at home.

Now he still washes the clothes, but after she comes back, she can always see him standing in front of the washed clothes, fiddling with them, and smoothing out the clothes that were wrinkled by the wind.

But this is an alpine meadow, and wind is a normal occurrence. We have to pull it every time it blows. How can we do this job?

And then there is taking a bath.

After taking a shower, he suddenly started walking out without a shirt on. When she saw it for the first time, she was so scared that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand on his head.

The most outrageous thing is that when he went out to cut grass today, there were several small cuts on his hands when he came back, the kind caused by grass leaves.

After Mu Xi came back, he took out the potion and applied it himself, and he hissed twice.

At first Zhao Yeqing thought it was a big cut from a knife, so he went over to take a look...

Come on, big brother! You didn't say a word when a hyena scratched your leg until it was bloody, but you hissed when you were cut by grass leaves.

Zhao Yeqing hesitated when the words came to his lips.

She really wanted to say that if she came back a little later, the wound would have healed.

I didn't know what was going on, so I thought it was some mutated plant that cut him and infected his brain.

Zhao Yeqing sorted out the timeline and determined that the change started after his birthday.

That's what happened on birthdays.

But didn’t we happily eat the cake and then take a shower and go to bed that day?

She racked her brains and even began to wonder if her bowl of longevity noodles was so bad that it damaged his brain.

Zhao Yeqing looked at Mu Xi with complicated eyes, then took the dried barley seeds and went out with Xiaohong.

The wheat has been sown in the past few days, and the ground has been re-mixed with manure. The soil moisture is good and there is no need to water it again.

Because the barley fields were newly reclaimed, the soil clods had to be broken up with a rake after reclamation, which took longer.

Zhao Yeqing put the barley seeds in his waist bag.

This is a special bag with a rope hanging around the neck and two ropes tied around the waist.

There is a big pocket in front of the waist, which can hold a lot of seeds and be sown while walking.

After Zhao Yeqing evenly spreads the barley seeds on the entire ground, he needs to turn the land over again to allow the seeds to sink into the soil to avoid being eaten by birds and ensure the germination rate.

When she was sowing wheat a few days ago, some sparrows came to steal the wheat. She made a scarecrow out of dry bamboo with leaves, but the effect was average.

After plowing the soil, although most of the barley seeds have entered the soil, a small part will still be exposed on the surface.

She was watching nearby, and when she saw a bird coming, she would shoot it with a slingshot.

After one afternoon, my slingshot skills improved by leaps and bounds.

I also harvested a bunch of little sparrows.

When I got home, I found Mu Xi was not there.

She led Xiaohong back to the stable and planned to take a rest.

I wandered into the hay room, which was mostly filled with newly made silage and hay. Usually, a few dogs and leopards lived in it, making it look a bit cluttered.

Zhao Yeqing was thinking about building a small house for them the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard some strange rustling noises outside.

She looked out the window and saw a yellow shadow moving in her rabbit pen, scaring the rabbits inside and making them jump around.

Yellow skin!

Zhao Yeqing picked up the carrying pole and ran out!

Just as the yellow-skinned man was about to succeed, Zhao Yeqing ran up nearby with a carrying pole.

It was so frightened that it didn't care about the rabbit. It jumped out of the fence and disappeared in two breaths.

Zhao Yeqing threw down the carrying pole and hurried to see the rabbit inside.

The day before yesterday she moved the pregnant rabbit in as well. It looks like the rabbit will be born in the next two days, so please don't let anything unexpected happen.

There was a foul smell in the rabbit pen. It was not the smell of rabbit feces, but the stench released by the weasel to paralyze the rabbits.

She walked in, covering her nose, and squatted in front of the small shed of the rabbit pen, watching the two female rabbits shivering inside.

She touched the two rabbits and checked to see that they were not injured.

Generally speaking, weasels only come to steal things at night, but this one appeared in broad daylight not long after she built the rabbit pen.

She guessed that the weasel had been eyeing their house for some time, but there were dogs and leopards at home at night, and all the animals were out.

The rabbit that was originally kept in captivity was also released outside, which caused it to take risks during the day.

Otherwise, why do people say weasels are smart?

It is said that it holds a grudge very deeply, and Zhao Yeqing is afraid that it will come to take revenge.

After waiting for an hour, Mu Xi came back with two fish in his hands.

Zhao Yeqing hurriedly told everyone about the appearance of the weasel.

Mu Xi put the fish in the basin and said, "Don't worry, let a few dogs pee outside the rabbit pen, and the weasels won't dare to come."

The dogs smelled an unusual smell when they returned home without Zhao Yeqing telling them.

A few puppies ran to the rabbit circle and sniffed, as if they found their territory was invaded. They raised their hind legs next to the rabbit circle and marked their place again.

Zhao Yeqing thought of his previous idea and suggested, "Why not build the dog and leopard's den next to the rabbit pen?"

You can also guard the rabbit pen at the same time.

Huhu and Xuebing are very smart. When they first raised rabbits in their home in the mountains, whenever the rabbit tried to jump out, the two leopards would raise their paws and press its head back.

The bricks at home are not enough to build two small houses.

Mu Xi made plans, "I'll go get some mud tomorrow."

Zhao Yeqing responded, "I'll go with you and do more. It's time to repair the house at home."

I had been talking about renovating the house, but now that the rainy season is over and the weather has gotten better, I feel like this matter can be postponed for a while.

The main reason is that there are too many things to prepare at home.

I have recently planted some crops and stockpiled a lot of forage, and it’s time to arrange things for the house.

Now that we have Xiaohong, we can move the soil onto the cart and let Xiaohong pull it back. One cart can carry quite a lot of soil.

When the time comes, you can tear down the house and build a bigger one, or just rebuild it from scratch. It would also be nice to use the original main house as a storage room.

Zhao Yeqing thought it would be better to build a new one.

It also saves the step of demolishing the house.

If it is just a reconstruction, the wall must be expanded and a good location must be chosen.

Mu Xi took a look and thought it would be more appropriate to build a house in front of the rabbit pen. In summer, it could block the direct sunlight into the rabbit pen.

Zhao Yeqing was quite excited about building the house and ran into the room to start drawing the blueprints.

She thought it would be better if the house was a little bigger so that she could have a fireplace inside so that the whole house could be warm when the fire was lit in the winter.

It’s okay to make a kang, but if it’s a kang, you can’t roast sweet potatoes or make a fire in the house. A fireplace would be better.

It has to fit two beds...

Zhao Yeqing subconsciously drew two beds on the blueprint. After finishing the drawing, he realized that the two beds were placed side by side, just like when they originally slept in the cellar.

Her face turned red, but she heard Mu Xi's footsteps approaching behind her...

He hurriedly pressed down the drawing with his hands.
