Yang Dadan's expression was inscrutable. Judging from his appearance, could it be that he wanted to take revenge on Gu Lili?
Gu Lili's face showed a hint of anger as she asked coldly, "What are you going to do, Yang Dadan!"
Gu Lili already had a mini tranquilizer gun in her hand. If Yang Dadan dared to make any rash moves, she would let him taste the effects of the tranquilizer gun again!
Big Black and Little Fox were playing nearby, but when they saw Yang Dadan approaching Gu Lili, the two little ones stopped playing.
As if by telepathy, they walked together from the rice paddy to stand in front of Gu Lili. Seeing Yang Dadan still slowly approaching, the fur on the backs of the two little creatures stood up involuntarily.
This gave Gu Lili a greater sense of security. After resolving the current issue, she decided to reward the two little ones properly.
Yang Dadan stopped just ten feet away from Gu Lili.
Gu Lili's tranquilizer gun was also ready to fire.
Just when Gu Lili thought Yang Dadan was about to make a move, Yang Dadan surprised her.
Yang Dadan cupped his hands towards Gu Lili and said, "I am very grateful to the County Princess for not holding a grudge against me today and for being willing to share the blue crabs with us. All the things that happened before were because I, Yang Dadan, was too petty. I hope that the County Princess will be magnanimous and not hold Cao Ming accountable!"
Having been pinched by a crab today, Yang Dadan has finally come to his senses.
He knew that everything Gu Lili did was to help everyone.
He kept contradicting Gu Lili, entirely because of the ginseng incident last time.
Of course, Yang Dadan knew that he was in the wrong last time.
He fell down the mountain in an attempt to snatch the ginseng from Gu Lili.
Although Wang Xiuer told Yang Dadan what had happened after he woke up, Gu Yanyu stayed by his side while he was unconscious to prevent the poisonous insects from harming him.
However, he always felt that he had lost face in front of the children where Gu Lili and the others had gathered, which is why he held a grudge.
Looking back now, Yang Dadan felt he was a terrible person, utterly ungrateful.
Today, he spent a long time catching crabs, but only managed to catch a few.
Fortunately, Gu Lili didn't hold it against him and was willing to share with him. Otherwise, if he relied solely on catching crabs to eat the apple snails in his own field, who knows when he would be able to catch enough.
By the time they catch enough, his rice paddies will probably be completely destroyed by the golden apple snails.
Since the last outbreak of the plague, no one has been willing to go to Yang Dadan's house for treatment.
Right now, Yang Dadan's family can only rely on these few acres of meager land to make a living.
If it's really destroyed, their family will just have to wait to starve to death.
It was unclear whether the two little creatures in front of Gu Lili could understand Yang Dadan's words, but the fur on their backs slowly drooped down.
Gu Lili looked at Yang Dadan's face and saw that his attitude of admitting his mistake was sincere and did not seem to be faking it, but she still did not put away the drug gun in her hand.
"Since you know you're wrong, then you should correct your mistakes. This time, we only gave you the crabs because of Aunt Wang. If you do the same thing again, even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't do you any good!" Gu Lili said calmly.
Gu Lili wouldn't tell him that even if he wasn't given crabs, crabs from other families would eventually crawl into his field.
Gu Lili naturally wanted Yang Dadan to remember the kindness that deserved to be remembered.
So that he won't cause trouble again if something happens next time.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dadan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I will definitely reform myself in the future!"
After Gu Lili finished speaking, she nodded slightly and led Big Black and Little Fox home.
The next morning, while Gu Lili was still immersed in her sweet dream, she heard Lord Lin and Gu Chenxi's voices coming from the courtyard.
"Miss Chenxi, I wonder if the county princess has woken up yet?" Lord Lin asked excitedly.
Lord Lin didn't sleep a wink last night; he stayed up all night guarding the sweet potato field.
I just want to see if the two methods Gu Lili mentioned will work.
Gu Chenxi replied respectfully, "I haven't gotten up yet."
Lord Lin glanced at the sky and also felt that he had been somewhat abrupt.
It's because he was too anxious that he did this.
"Well then, Miss Chenxi, go ahead and get busy. I'll just sit in the courtyard for a while."
Hearing that Gu Lili did not get up, Lord Lin nodded and sat in the courtyard, waiting for Gu Lili to get up.
Anyway, he had already eaten at Gu Lili's house many times, so they were practically acquaintances.
It was still early, and there was enough time for Gu Lili to get up.
Gu Chenxi bowed and then withdrew to continue making breakfast.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Lili quickly got up, changed her clothes, put her hair up in a simple bun, and went out.
"Lord Lin, why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened in the sweet potato field?"
Lord Lin, who hadn't slept all night, was dozing off in a chair in the courtyard.
Gu Lili's sudden voice nearly startled Lord Lin so much that he fell off his chair.
Fortunately, it was Lord Lin's guards who caught him quickly.
Gu Lili felt a little apologetic. It wasn't intentional on her part; it was just that Lord Lin had his back to her, and she hadn't noticed that he was dozing off.
Gu Lili asked apologetically, "Lord Lin, are you alright?"
Lord Lin steadied himself, turned around, and waved to Gu Lili.
"I'm fine. The county magistrate is truly remarkable. I came so early precisely because the method taught by the county magistrate last night worked!"
Gu Lili was not surprised by this result, because she already knew that wood ash water and lime water could deal with aphids.
"Which works better, wood ash water or lime water?" Gu Lili asked curiously.
Although she was not surprised by this result, she had never actually conducted the experiment herself.
So, I don't know which one is more effective.
Lord Lin quickly replied, "I observed them all night, and the effects of the two methods are not much different!"
Gu Lili then noticed that Lord Lin's eyes were full of fatigue.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, if the Southern Yue Kingdom had more officials like Lord Lin, how could it not become powerful?
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Alright! Lord Lin, you should go back and get some rest today. Leave the aphid problem to me!"
Today, people in the village are probably busy cultivating rice seedlings.
However, there are always families with many members who can spare a few people to help Gu Lili.
Since both methods worked, Gu Lili decided to spray the solution with wood ash water.
Every household in Guzhuang has wood ash, which saves them the trouble of burning seashells.
Lord Lin thought about it and realized that he had been anxious all night and was indeed feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Why don't you go back and sleep for an hour before going to help in the fields?
Just as Lord Lin was about to say goodbye to Gu Lili, everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed straight down.
