Chapter 2215 Emotional
Manbao nodded vigorously.
Seeing that there were still water droplets on her face, Bai Shan took out a handkerchief and wiped her face.
Manbao reached out to take it, but Bai Shan dodged, "Your hands are dirty."
Manbao took a look at his hands and realized that he had washed his hands in the wooden barrel after putting down the fish. Although they were not very clean, they were much cleaner than her hands which were covered with mud and grass.
Manbao rubbed his hands in the wooden barrel, but stretched his face towards Baishan so that he could wipe it better.
Bai Shan smiled and wiped away the water droplets on her eyebrows and eyes. Manbao subconsciously closed her eyes when the handkerchief touched her eyebrows and eyes. His eyes became softer, his throat moved, and then he gently kissed her eyes. The kiss was so quick that Manbao didn't react and only felt that her eyes were touched by something soft.
She couldn't help but open her eyes and stare at him in a daze.
Bai Shan was also stunned for a moment, then his face turned red. He turned his head guiltily to look at Daji behind him. Daji immediately withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky.
Bai Shan's face turned even redder. He reached out and squeezed Man Bao's hand, and asked softly, "Is Uncle Zhou here too?"
Manbao's face also turned a little red, which made her unsure whether to respond or not.
Because her biological father is indeed not here, but Koko is here.
Koko ignored them and expanded the scanning range, clearing out this area of space.
Manbao noticed it and breathed a sigh of relief, but Baishan, who didn't hear her answer, also guessed the answer. Her face turned even redder and she felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he kissed someone's daughter in front of her father.
Seeing him so embarrassed, Manbao couldn't help but look at Daji. Seeing that Daji was still looking at the sky, he quickly kissed him on the face.
When the soft lips touched his cheek, Bai Shan's heart skipped a beat, and then started beating rapidly. His hands and feet felt weak for a moment. He looked at Manbao, then turned back to look at Daji. Daji had already lowered his head to look at the ground, but he was still facing them sideways.
Bai Shan suppressed his smile and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou is not here?"
He realized his voice was a little hoarse when he finished speaking. He cleared his throat uncomfortably. Manbao, who was standing opposite him, nodded with a flushed face.
Bai Shan pinched her fingers, and the two of them played with their fingers in the water in the wooden barrel. The fish in the barrel tried to pop out from time to time, but Bai Shan skillfully hit the head and mouth to knock the fish down.
The two played for a long time, and when they finally calmed down, they pulled their hands out of the bucket hand in hand. They smelled their hands and found that they smelled a little fishy, so they couldn't help but look at each other and smile foolishly.
Manbao glanced at Daji and saw that he had sat down under the tree again, seemingly resting with his eyes closed. He whispered, "Here he comes..."
No one said who was coming, but Bai Shan knew it meant Uncle Zhou was coming, so he honestly let go of Manbao's hand, stood up and stood beside Manbao, just enough to block Daji's view. His back was straight, like a green pine on a cliff, as if the person whose face was blushing almost to the point of bleeding was not him.
Manbao looked up at him and smiled, then reached out and touched a silverfish, which disappeared into the barrel.
She hesitated for a moment, and Keke said, "Host, this silverfish has considerable research value. If you sell it to other research labs on the forum, you can earn a lot of points."
Manbao looked at his greatly reduced points. Although he had gained some points during this period, it was not much. Even for the wild antelope, he only got 8,600 points. Obviously, a small bird could get a lot of points before.
So during this period of time, I kept digging flowers and plants, but in total I only accumulated a little over 50,000 points. Some flowers and plants were not worth much points, and I could only get more than 20 points.
From what Koko said, this fish earned more points than the antelope?
Manbao collected the other silverfish without much hesitation. The appetite can often be satisfied, but points cannot be earned often.
Manbao took his hands out and went to the lake with Baishan to wash their hands.
Bai Shan washed for a long time before asking quietly, "Is Uncle Zhou still here?"
Manbao shook his head.
Bai Shan started laughing, then moved to Manbao's side and huddled together to wash their hands.
But washing hands doesn't take so long. The two of them squatted by the lake and played in the water, occasionally pulling some water plants to stir the water. Above their heads were the shadows cast by the trees by the lake, and the sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves. When the leaves swayed, the bright sunlight spots swayed with them. Manbao reached out to chase them, feeling very happy.
Bai Shan looked up at her smiling face and couldn't help but smile.
Daji felt they had been staying by the lake for too long, so he stood up and walked a few steps towards the lake. After thinking for a moment, he retreated. He first went to the other side to call over a guard and ask about the situation there. Then he stepped forward and said, "Master, Mr. Zhuang has caught several fish, and the young master and his family are going to grill them. Would you and Miss Man like to go and take a look?"
Bai Shan didn't want to go. He turned around to get their veil and took Man Bao's hand. He said to Daji, "There seems to be a melon field over there. Let's go there and take a look. You take the fish in the barrel back to them. Keep the big ones for stewing. The rest are up to them."
Daji: ...
Daji took a look at their holding hands and could only nod in agreement, but did not go back. Instead, he turned around and handed the wooden barrel to a guard, then followed Bai Shan and Zhou Man from a distance.
The people in the town knew that the fields could not be planted too close to the lake, not only because the lake would flood the land when the tide came, but also because cultivating land too close would damage the lake.
The lakeside is almost entirely covered with trees and wild grass growing freely, and there are fields only far away.
The fields closer are irrigated with water from ditches, so wheat is planted there, while the fields further away are planted with corn and barley.
There was very little corn. Manbao and Baishan walked hand in hand along the edge of the field and saw that it was not growing very well. This was probably because the yield was not good, so people here rarely planted it.
The worse place below the barley is the melon field. There are many melon fields, and some of them have wooden sticks supporting the ground. Except for the lack of walls and roofs, it can be seen that this should have been a house in the past.
There were people in the fields who saw two strangers coming hand in hand. Although they had never seen them before, from the way they were dressed, they knew they were guests who had come into the town yesterday.
So the melon farmers working in the fields came to greet them warmly.
Their Chinese is not very good and they can only vaguely say "Hello".
Bai Shan smiled and greeted them in Hu language, then pointed at the frames and asked, "Is that a house?"
The melon farmer excitedly explained, "It's a greenhouse. It's very cold in February and March, and the melon seedlings can't survive. Customers come to buy melons in June, so we build the house in February and cover it with thatch, and the melon seedlings survive."
The melons grown in such a greenhouse actually don’t taste as good as those grown normally, but they can be harvested a month earlier. At that time, customers passing by will pay a high price for them, making them more valuable than normally grown melons.
This method was taught to them by a guest from the Central Plains who passed by. It is said that people in the Central Plains grow vegetables in this way in winter, which is very amazing.
