Old Liu forgot to scold his son anymore and just looked at Jiang Yimian.
Seeing that the other party was wearing protective clothing and had put away the firebox, he raised the torch and burned it towards the bottom of the hive.
In no time, a number of wasps flew out of the hive and rushed towards Jiang Yimian.
The two were startled and were thinking about how to help when they saw Jiang Yimian take out a strange little jar from somewhere and spray it at the wasps.
In an instant, all the once proud and arrogant wasps fell to the ground, floating on the lotus pond, their fate unknown.
The two stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the other sprayed the swarming wasps again, causing a large swarm of wasps to float on the surface of the pond.
After several sprays, no more wasps flew out of the hive.
Jiang Yimian then put away the insecticide in her hand, took the beehive off the tree, and put it on the ground.
Seeing that Liu Dayong and his companion were about to come over, she quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't come over yet."
After saying that, she took out a curved dagger, cut off the burned honeycomb at the bottom, and then split the rest in two.
Instantly, several wasps hidden inside all rushed towards Jiang Yimian to sting her.
Jiang Yimian brandished the dagger in her hand and sliced the wasp in half. The wasp fell to the ground and immediately fell silent.
She then took off her protective suit and looked at the honey and royal jelly in the beehive. She felt the stuffiness inside the protective suit disappear and her mood improved greatly.
There's enough honey and royal jelly for them to eat for a long time.
As for the large beehive, she plans to extract the beeswax inside, which can then be used to make lipsticks and skincare products.
Seeing that it was getting dark and there were no more wasps around, Liu Dayong and Old Man Liu cautiously walked over and asked worriedly, "How are you, Yimian? Are you alright?"
They were all terrified when so many wasps flew towards Yi Mian, and they didn't know if Yi Mian was injured.
Jiang Yimian shook her head and said, "It's alright, it's all been taken care of. Everyone can come to Hetang with peace of mind from now on."
With that, he took the beehive in his hand and left.
Liu Dayong and Old Man Liu were still somewhat stunned.
That's...it's over? That's...simple?
What were they doing just now, imagining themselves bravely facing death? They were even vying to die.
Old Liu blushed and quickly chased after her. He looked Jiang Yimian up and down for a while before saying, "Yimian, are you really alright? Why didn't you discuss it with us before you went to burn the beehive? It was so dangerous."
Jiang Yimian said "Oh" and then said lightly, "I saw you two were about to fight just now, and I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I went over. There's a lot of honey here, I'll get some out and send it to you later."
Old Liu: ...
It's not a difficult thing? This girl must be swearing!
Old Liu had a heart attack and it took him a while to say, "You can keep the honey, I don't need it."
He and Liu Dayong weren't much help, and he even had to share the honey; he felt really bad about it.
Jiang Yimian smiled and said, "It's alright, there's plenty of honey and royal jelly. We'll get them all together later, and I'll share some with each family."
Just as Old Man Liu was about to refuse, he heard Liu Dayong's excited voice, "Great! Thank you, Yi Mian. A few days ago, Xing'er said that she didn't have much taste in her mouth. With honey, she can taste sweetness again."
Old Liu was furious when he saw Liu Dayong's heartless and carefree attitude. How could he have given birth to such a stupid son?
What a terrible thing!
When the group returned, Wang Fengqin also brought several children to the Liu family. The group looked rather unwell, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return.
As soon as Wang Fengqin saw her daughter, she rushed over to greet her. After looking her over for a while, she said, "Why didn't you discuss burning the beehive with us first? You scared me to death."
Those are giant hornets, and they're poisonous.
Someone in the village had been stung to death. As soon as she heard Xing'er say that Yi Mian and Old Man Liu had gone to get rid of the bees, she was so scared that she wanted to go after them. However, Zhao Xing'er stopped her, saying that she couldn't help and would only make them worry. So she didn't go after them and waited here, extremely worried.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and said, "With Grandpa Liu and Uncle Dayong here, I'll be fine. They'll protect me."
Wang Fengqin breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the two of them.
Old Liu and Liu Dayong touched their noses somewhat awkwardly, their faces turning red.
Why bother protecting her? That girl can easily take care of the bees all by herself; she doesn't need them.
Neither of them dared to say it aloud, and they quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, since we're all here, let's eat together, so we don't get tired from running around."
Zhao Xing'er quickly smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's eat together then. I've already cooked the rice, just a few stir-fried dishes will do."
After saying that, she went into the kitchen to get busy.
Wang Fengqin also rushed in to help, while the others went to the yard to get honey and royal jelly.
While digging for honey, Gou Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa Liu, how did you manage to take this beehive down? That's amazing!"
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes by the lotus pond, he could guess just how many wasps there were from the huge beehive he brought back.
Old Liu glanced at him, about to speak, when he heard Jiang Yimian say, "It was all Old Master Liu's idea. He climbed up that crooked tree by himself and killed the wasps inside in just a few strokes."
Old Liu choked, and Liu Dayong almost burst out laughing, but Gou Sheng and the other kids believed him and immediately looked at Old Liu with admiration, asking him questions.
"Grandpa, what method did you use? How did you manage to bring the beehive back so easily?"
"Yes, are any of you injured?"
When Old Liu saw Jiang Yimian digging for honey, he realized that she wasn't making fun of him, and then he readily accepted the children's admiration.
"Go away, go away, how could your great-grandfather tell you the method? That's my grandfather's secret weapon. When you get to my age, you'll be just as good."
However, my great-grandfather has many other amazing deeds to tell you about later.
The children immediately believed it and kept saying they wanted to listen, eat more, and grow as tall as their great-grandfather as soon as possible.
Liu Dayong watched his father boasting from the side, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he silently went into the kitchen.
His father is shameless; he dares to boast about anything.
Jiang Yimian found it amusing. Having seen so many immature teenagers, this was the first time she had seen an immature old man. Indeed, men are boys until they die, and old men are no exception.
After finishing their meal, the group worked for a long time and finally finished digging out all the honey from the beehive.
Looking at the huge beehive, Jiang Yimian could only take out a small half-jar of honey and about the same amount of royal jelly. She could only sigh and say that wasps are not as good as bees!
However, she was quite content. She shared some with the other two families and was about to take the beehive back when she suddenly remembered something. Taking advantage of the others' inattention, she handed the small pottery jar in her hand to Wang Fengqin and used the beehive to cover herself, calling Zhao Xing'er aside.
