"I'm not kidding you, the mushroom seeds will enter your lungs through your breathing, take root and grow into small mushrooms. By then, you'll be too late to save yourself!"
Ling Jiheng wasn't exaggerating, because mushroom disease really did exist. It was easily cured in later generations, but here, it would likely develop into a serious, terminal illness.
Everyone in Qingshan Village widened their eyes in surprise, obviously not expecting the consequences to be so serious.
He hurriedly took the mask from Ling Jiheng's hand and examined it carefully, and even used his intelligence to discuss whether it would be better to add cotton or wood ash to the interlayer.
Ling Jiheng had no idea about this either. He only knew that the spores were so tiny that they were invisible without a microscope.
The disposable medical masks Chi Xingyue gave me can significantly block spores. Ordinary cotton masks are probably not very effective.
But it's better to wear it than not to wear it. When people are poor, they tend to ignore potential dangers. They always want to gamble on the probability and think they won't be affected.
After explaining everything clearly, Chi Xingyue and I walked from the beginning to the end of the village. After a whole day of hard work, we finally planted fungus seeds for everyone.
Chi Xingyue was surprised to find that Qingshan Village was really big. There were so many people, it was comparable to her Nanshan Village.
When the two went to the Han family to plant the fungus, they found that the women in the Han family were a little hesitant.
Ling Jiheng greeted Old Master Han and said politely, "Grandpa Han, if you need any help, just go to the Ling family. If you have nothing to do, you can also chat with my grandfather."
Old Master Han agreed with a smile, but he felt sad in his heart.
Back when he was exiled, he had considered having Shuqi become the second son of the Ling family's wife. He still wanted to do that now, but the gap between the two families was too big, and he was too embarrassed to mention it.
I was quite surprised by Chi Xingyue's performance. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful and talented. She was on par with the second son of the Ling family.
After forcing a smile and sending the two away, Old Master Han sat in the yard, remaining silent for a long time.
Han Shuqi knew what was bothering the old man, so she came over and patted him on the back. When he looked over, she helped him into the house.
He consoled her, "Grandpa, it's okay. In three years, our family will rise again."
Old Man Han nodded. It was difficult to gather his scattered energy and spirit. However, he had no intention of passing away. After all, the women in the family still needed his protection.
Chi Xingyue left the Han family with a heavy heart.
She is actually quite soft-hearted, but she always adheres to the principle of keeping herself out of trouble. She doesn't interfere too much in other people's affairs unless they are clearly related to her.
He sighed and tried to repair his emotions. After a moment, he smiled as if nothing had happened.
We went back to Ling's house together, and before we even entered the door, we were so hungry that we couldn't stand it.
Aunt Taohua quickly brought two bowls of noodles with soybean paste, and there was a big chicken drumstick in Chi Xingyue's bowl.
Although Ling Jiheng was not given any special care, he was in a good mood. The Ling family recognized his wife, and he was also proud of it.
The two of them didn't even go back to Qingfengyuan and finished their meal in the big kitchen.
I went to the old lady's place to get a cup of tea, and told her about going to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow, which scared the two old ladies.
"What, you two are coming together? Erzhu and Lingyi aren't coming?"
"Are you kidding me? It's fine for a grown man like you to make a trip, but why do you have to drag Xingyue along? Don't you know what the weather is like now? How can a little girl stand it?"
Chi Xingyue said that she could, and at worst she could just lie in the carriage and let her soul enter the space.
Anyway, the feeling in the space can be reflected in the body, which is comfortable and will not be exposed.
So she smiled and said, "I'm worried about my husband, so I want to go with him to broaden his horizons. Grandmother, just promise me. I promise to be a good boy and come back as soon as I'm done!"
How could the old lady stand the little girl's coquettish behavior? She felt so upset that she couldn't stand her ground at all.
But their actions are really dangerous. If they encounter bandits or something, won’t they be killed outside?
The old lady didn't know the inside story, but Ling Jiheng knew everything.
The reason for not bringing servants was simply to be able to use the space freely. Otherwise, we would have to find ways to keep the secret.
It is September 19th now, and it may snow at any time.
If he didn't bring Chi Xingyue with him, he might be trapped outside at any time, or even face a very dangerous situation.
With the little fairy around, his safety factor increased significantly. At least food, clothing, shelter and transportation were guaranteed. At most, he would encounter some ignorant people, but with his skills, he should be able to escape unscathed.
Of course, this all depends on Chi Xingyue's wishes. If she doesn't want to go, I won't force her.
Ling Jiheng turned to look at his young wife and found her very insistent. He sighed and whispered to the old lady.
I don't know what he said, but the old lady was stunned. After a while, she finally agreed to let them go.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow. Be careful on the road and come back early."
Chi Xingyue thanked her happily, "Yes, Grandma, I promise to come back safe and sound!"
The old lady raised her hand and poked her forehead: "Naughty!"
The group chatted and laughed late into the night before Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng returned to Qingfeng Courtyard. They checked in with Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng, and by the time they emerged, it was already early morning.
Baozhu had already fallen asleep, but Erzhu was still waiting. Seeing Ling Jiheng enter the side room, he hurried over to pour hot water.
Ling Jiheng dragged himself into the bath exhausted, while Chi Xingyue found a corner to wash her face, brush her teeth and change her sanitary napkin.
Then he came out and lay down in the quilt. Not long after, Ling Jiheng also came over.
Covered in water vapor, with wet hair.
Chi Xingyue leaned over to help him dry, and even joked, "I didn't take a shower today, so I stink."
Ling Jiheng smiled slightly: "It's okay, I don't dislike you."
Chi Xingyue snorted, then heard the sound of a water scoop hitting the ground in the ear room. She glared at him and said nothing more.
By the time Erzhu packed up and left, Ling Jiheng's long hair was almost dry.
He lay down and held Chi Xingyue in his arms.
He blew out the oil lamp, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he placed a kiss on her smooth forehead and said softly, "Go to sleep!"
I had a good night and woke up late the next day.
But nothing was going on at home, and no one was bothering them. Everyone lowered their voices in unison, and only when the sun was high in the sky did Chi Xingyue open her hazy eyes.
I got up yawning and found Ling Jiheng already sitting at the table reading a book.
Without disturbing the other person, he raised his hand to put on his jacket, then got off the kang and found a corner to hide in.
He came out a moment later with a wooden flower trough in his hand.
The dark substrate was filled with finger-sized mushrooms. Chi Xingyue raised his hand to fiddle with them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my experiment to be quite successful."
Ling Jiheng knew that when he went to the capital, he would inevitably talk about how to deal with extreme cold, and the method of growing mushrooms would definitely become a top priority.
He discussed with Chi Xingyue and gave the prescription to Yu Tingzhang.
