In the early morning, before dawn, An Shuyao heard the sound of pots and pans banging in a daze.
In an instant, she woke up: "Who?"
The sound stopped, and in the kitchen, a woman's voice came: "It's me, Yaoyao, I'm boiling water, did I bother you?"
It was only later that An Shuyao remembered that she had saved Liu Yuxue, so she lay back again: "It's okay... just burn it."
On one side, Lu Jin sat up and got dressed, and An Shuyao quickly followed him. They also had to draw a curtain here.
As soon as An Shuyao entered the kitchen, he saw Liu Yuxue squatting on the stove to light the fire. The water on the stove was already steaming.
She stood up awkwardly: "Yao Yao, I've already heated the water."
Then she blushed a little and whispered awkwardly: "Where is the toilet?"
"Beside the vegetable garden in the back."
Liu Yuxue then walked out of the kitchen and went to the back.
The toilet at the back was just a squatting pit, and An Shuyao didn't like to use it. After she cleaned it up briefly, she could barely go in without vomiting.
When the new house is built, she will design a toilet herself.
An Shuyao cooked thick porridge in the morning, steamed the sweet potatoes sent by Aunt Lin, and baked fragrant scallion pancakes.
A delicious breakfast.
Liu Yuxue knew from last night that An Shuyao's family was not as poor as they appeared on the surface. On the contrary, her family lived the best life in the entire village.
She ate the rice porridge in small bites. An Shuyao gave Lu Jin a piece of cake and put it in his bowl: "Ms. sir, I will go to the mountains to collect gallinaceous fungi later. You can heat the medicine and drink it yourself. If you find it bitter, put it in the cupboard."
There’s sugar.”
Lu Jin stopped drinking the porridge. This was the first time An Shuyao cared about the bitterness of his medicine.
Are you starting to be more attracted to him?
However, this change is still inseparable from the accidental kiss between the two and her initiative to kiss him last night.
Lu Jin thought, it would be better to be more intimate so that she would no longer miss that bitch Lu Xian?
He has to betray his appearance to make An Shuyao look at him?
Inexplicably, he felt a little ashamed, and his face seemed to heat up again.
"Ms. sir? Did you hear that? And why are you blushing?"
"Ah?" Lu Jin came back to his senses. He licked his lips and said, "Listen, I heard you. I'm just a little hot."
hot?
An Shuyao turned around and looked outside. The sun had been shining brightly these past two days, and the weather was going to get colder after a few more days of hot weather.
She finished her last mouthful of porridge and said, "I'm going to the mountains."
Liu Yuxue stood up in a hurry: "I, I will go with you."
An Shuyao looked at her, what could such a delicate and frail beauty do in the mountains?
She hesitated and said: "How about... you should stay at home? Don't worry, Hu Jun won't come for the time being."
Liu Yuxue shook her head desperately, what a joke, she didn't want to stay with Yaoyao's husband.
She didn't know how Yaoyao fell in love with such a vicious person. She thought of how she almost died under his dagger yesterday, and her body felt chilly.
If she hadn't made her purpose clear and said she knew An Shuyao, she would have been lying on the ground and turned into a corpse.
So it was absolutely impossible for her to stay with Lu Jindai. She had to go up the mountain to help Yaoyao work.
Seeing that she was so dependent on him, An Shuyao threw a basket for her to carry: "Let's go, let's go together."
Only then did Liu Yuxue smile.
This was Liu Yuxue's first visit to Yan'an Mountain. She came to Rock Village half a year ago, when her parents were killed by bandits on the way to Taolin County.
And because she was sick at home that day, she accidentally escaped from the disaster. Then she left home, packed up some belongings, and came to live with her aunt.
During these days in Rock Village, she hardly went out. Instead, she stayed at Xu's house to embroider some handkerchiefs to earn some small money. She just waited until she was old enough to find an honest man to marry.
Unexpectedly, it was sold to Hu Jun.
She was angry, angry and helpless.
These trivial things only stayed in her mind for a moment, and then they were forgotten by her. The air on the mountain was very fresh.
She was already out of breath after walking only half way.
But looking at An Shuyao strolling in the garden, Liu Yuxue gritted her teeth and persisted without saying a word.
Once up the mountain, the road becomes much smoother.
Before going into the mountains, An Shuyao took some medicinal powder and put it in Liu Yuxue's purse.
"Anti-virus and pest-proof."
Liu Yuxue held her purse in her hand, her eyes bright: "Yaoyao, you are so amazing."
"I wish I could be as good as you."
An Shuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Just learn. You have hands and feet, and you're not stupid. There's nothing you can't learn."
Liu Yuxue tied her purse around her waist: "Yeah, I will definitely study hard. What should we do next?"
An Shuyao took out the gallinopsis and said, "Get to know this mushroom and then pick it in the basket."
"The shape is similar to this one, but the color is lighter than this. Don't pick them. They are poisonous fungi."
Hearing this, Liu Yuxue nodded solemnly and reached out to take it. She didn't know what it was, but it tasted delicious.
She identified it carefully, and then followed An Shuyao into the mountains.
Most of the places where mushrooms grow are moist. Liu Yuxue had seen this kind of thing in his father's Collection of All Things.
According to the label, it was poisonous, but An Shuyao was surprised to find out whether it was poisonous or not. This thing was really delicious.
Liu Yuxue was already smart and could remember things quickly. After a while, she slowly picked up a large basket.
When she went to look for An Shuyao, she found that she had gone inside. She had put the basket aside and was digging in the mud with a small hoe.
She walked closer and saw that she was pulling some leaves, so she asked curiously: "Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
An Shuyao was so happy that she didn't expect that she was so lucky to find a small piece of Codonopsis pilosula here.
She dug hard and took the time to reply to Liu Yuxue: "dig Codonopsis pilosula."
"Do you know how to treat medicine? Do you know how to heal?"
An Shuyao buried her head and replied: "You should be more knowledgeable."
He is good at medicine, martial arts, and is also good at delicious food. He can also identify poisonous things marked in the collection of all things, proving that some of these things are also non-toxic.
Liu Yuxue was determined at this moment. She must hug An Shuyao's thick thigh to her death and never let go.
She put the basket down and found a thick wooden stick: "I'll help you."
An Shuyao took one look and followed her: "Remember to dig out the roots and be sure not to cut off the beard."
Liu Yuxue nodded and began to carefully dig the soil with a stick.
The sun at noon was getting stronger and stronger, and even digging in the forest made the two of them a little hot. An Shuyao sat on the ground casually: "Let's take a rest, this Codonopsis pilosula is a bit difficult to dig."
Liu Yuxue didn't stop: "Just rest, I'll dig it."
Her face, as white as winter snow, was stained with bright red. It would be impossible to protect such a beauty if she had not been reborn in a wealthy family.
Even if there is no Hu Jun this time, there will be Zhang Jun and Li Jun next time.
To An Shuyao, Liu Yuxue is a really weak dodder flower that needs to be relied on.
