"Comrade Xiangyang, you really don't need to send me off." On the way back, Li Xiyue pointed to the night sky and said, "Look, there's a moon tonight, so we can see the road clearly. And with Xiaobai by our side, it's safe."
She also didn't expect Xu Xiangyang to take the initiative to offer to send her back to the educated youth site.
It is well known that Xu Xiangyang hates female educated youth, but recently Li Xiyue discovered that Xu Xiangyang's attitude towards her seemed to have changed significantly compared to when he first came.
I think it is because of the various things she has done since she went to the countryside that not only changed the villagers' views on the educated youth, but also changed his inner prejudice against them.
Xiaobai barked twice, "I will protect Yueyue."
Xu Xiangyang walked for a long time without saying anything before saying, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Li Xiyue asked doubtfully.
Xu Xiangyang said: "You helped me save the rabbit."
At Xu Dashan's house, everyone thanked her except him. He felt that he should also thank her, even if not for anything else, just for the rabbit.
"You helped me fight off the drunk guy last night, so we're even." Li Xiyue said cheerfully.
Even?
The light in Xu Xiangyang's eyes dimmed slightly.
The two walked on the road, one in front and the other behind, keeping a distance of three steps between them. No one spoke anymore. Li Xiyue felt that the atmosphere was very awkward.
Fortunately, the educated youth site was not far from Xu Dashan’s home, only about ten minutes away, and they arrived there quickly.
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Thank you, Comrade Xiangyang." Then she took Xiaobai into the yard.
Xu Xiangyang stood outside for a moment before turning around and leaving.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, Xu Xiangyang heard shouting coming from the house and hurried in. As soon as he reached the main room, he saw a woman in her twenties running out from the main house. She looked at Xu Xiangyang, covered her mouth and cried, then ran into another room.
Xu Xiangyang sighed and walked into the main house.
The room was pitch black, the windows were closed, the blackout curtains were drawn, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Xu Xiangyang walked to the bedside and picked up the overturned medicine bowl as usual and put it on the table.
"Didn't you hear me telling you to get lost? I've told you so many times to leave and stop wasting your time on a useless person like me!"
A pillow flew over along with the yelling. Xu Xiangyang caught it and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Uncle, it's me."
There was silence on the bed for a long time before a voice came again, "Xiangyang..."
The voice was hoarse, trembling and crying.
Xu Xiangyang felt heartbroken and reached out to hold the person on the bed, "Uncle, it's okay, everything will be fine."
Li Xiyue tiptoed into the house. Huang Xinrui was already asleep, so she didn't wake her up and took Xiaobai into the space.
I washed up in the space before going out to sleep.
The next morning, the four people at the educated youth point went to work as usual.
When we arrived at Uncle Xu's house, Xu Xiangyang was not there. He seemed very casual, coming when he wanted to and not coming when he didn't want to. No one cared about him at all.
Li Xiyue didn't know what his situation was. Anyway, Uncle Xu said he didn't work here. She guessed that since he didn't come to Uncle Xu's place, he might have gone to work somewhere else, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Guoqing was left behind to look after the house, while Uncle Xu Liu and Li Xiyue went up the mountain to collect herbs.
"Girl, you have to take me to the place where you picked herbs yesterday." Although Uncle Xu is old, he is still strong and can climb mountains more agilely than Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue responded while crawling, "Okay, let Xiaobai take us there."
Xiaobai barked twice and rushed to the front.
Under Xiaobai's guidance, they indeed went to a mountain that Uncle Xu had never been to. That mountain was not a deep mountain, but there was a canyon.
There are many rare herbs in the canyon. Although there are no precious herbs such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and blood ginseng, Uncle Xu has collected many of the medicinal materials he needs in daily life.
For example, the chicken blood vine will bleed if you cut it.
Another example is the antiviral isatis root.
There are also Andrographis paniculata for anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing, and Coptis chinensis for making the mute suffer in silence.
Uncle Xu Liu was so happy that his eyebrows danced with joy. "Girl, you have raised this wild dog very well. It is a good guide. We will rely on it to collect herbs in the future."
Xiaobai turned into a wild dog again, with his head hanging down. There was no way he could get through this time as a wild dog, right?
Li Xiyue glanced at Xiaobai and covered her mouth with her hands to laugh.
Seeing that Uncle Xu was still busy digging herbs, Li Xiyue took the opportunity to slip away.
She took Xiaobai away, entered the space, and continued to go deep into the mountains.
Xiaobai’s main purpose this time was to find living things.
Yesterday she went into the mountains and deliberately avoided wild beasts. Today she wanted to face the beasts head-on. The space was full of medicinal herbs, but there was still too little meat.
Xiaobai went on a rampage in the mountains, and Li Xiyue followed behind him and collected two bison, a family of four wild boars, two stubborn donkeys, a litter of adorable rabbits, and several flying pheasants.
After putting the animals into the space, Li Xiyue heard the cries of chicks and ducklings coming from the space.
She ran to the poultry and saw that the brooding hen had already hatched all her eggs.
The tender yellow chicks, the yellow and black ducklings, and the black and yellow geese, each one is fluffy and so cute.
Li Xiyue picked up each one and looked at them, unable to put them down.
As expected, no matter what it is, it is cute when you are a child.
She took some rice from the warehouse and scattered it in the pen. The mother hen carefully crushed the rice and made a clucking sound to call her children out to eat.
The little ones emerged from their mother's warm, thick feathers and ate happily.
Li Xiyue really liked them. Looking at their bean sprout-like legs, she touched her chin and thought, they will be very fragrant when they grow fat.
There is also good news for the piglet. The sow, who has grown up a long time ago, is pregnant with piglets. Her belly is already very obvious. It won't be long before she has piglets, and she will be able to achieve pork freedom.
Now the black soil is full of herbs, the red soil is full of grains, vegetables, fruits and melons, the poultry is also full, and the pond has plenty of fish, shrimps and crabs except for the lack of seafood.
There is no sea in the south, so it is a bit difficult to get seafood. Li Xiyue bought some seafood seedlings from the space mall and put them into the pond.
It cost several dozen dollars, which is a bit expensive.
But she is not short of money at all and doesn't feel bad at all.
The stocks of grain, fish and shrimp in the warehouse are increasing, and we have to find a way to consume some of them.
It can be sold to Space, and the price is slightly lower than the price of goods in this era. It’s not that I care about that little bit of money, but I think that everyone in this era is not able to eat enough, so it is more appropriate to supply it to the locals.
Besides, she has a disguise potion, so she is not afraid of exposing her identity at all.
She has fighting power and is not afraid of being targeted by others.
Well, when I have time, I will go to the commune.
After making up her mind, she picked a tender green cucumber from the red soil, took a bite, and it was crispy and sweet.
She squinted her eyes happily. What a wonderful day!
