Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 176 Which is more terrifying?
After returning to the cave, Lin Xiao couldn't calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart for a long time. She kept comforting herself that everything just now was just a virtual dream!

It must be a virtual dream!
Yes, it's virtual!

However, no matter how much she brainwashed herself, it was useless, because she couldn't fool herself at all!

In her ears, Li Yuyan's words just now kept reappearing:
"Like! I like you! I like you very, very, very, very much!"

These words, over and over again, lingered in Lin Xiao's heart like a curse.

She felt as if she was stepping on a cloud, and her whole body was floating, as if in the next second, she would fall off the cliff and be crushed to pieces.

As for that kiss...

Lin Xiao's hand touched her slightly swollen lips unconsciously. Thinking of Li Yuyan's temperature, her heart was confused again.
A voice inside her told her:

"Don't think about it! Don't think about it anymore!"

"Lin Xiao, you can't fall into it, otherwise you will be invincible!"

However, her heart just doesn't obey her orders!

In her heart, she didn't know when it started, but a seed was quietly planted.

This seed grew too fast, and it had already taken root in Lin Xiao's heart.

Li Yuyan's behavior is like a ripening agent, making her unconsciously crave for more
Lin Xiao's finger brushed his lips, and Li Yuyan's handsome cheek appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Lin Xiao's heart was pounding, she shook her head vigorously, unwilling to think about it.

But, no!
Lin Xiao slapped his head hard, hoping that he would wake up.

"Master, what are you doing? Is it a headache?"

Lan Lian's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Lin Xiao's wild thoughts.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head, and saw Lan Lian squatting on the ground, looking at him with his head tilted, looking like a curious baby.

Lin Xiao quickly stood up and said in a panic:

"Well, my head hurts."

"Is the wound infected?"

Hearing this, Lan Lian hurriedly checked the bandaged wound, and found that there was nothing wrong with the bandaged cloth except for the blood seeping through it, so she was relieved.

"It's not a wound problem, is it a cold?"

Lan Lian raised her head to look at Lin Xiao, with worried eyes:

"If you have a headache, why don't you lie down and rest?"

Lin Xiao nodded, leaned against the wall of the cave, closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he was still thinking about the little things that happened with Li Yuyan just now...

The next day, when Lin Xiao, who had been having nightmares all night, woke up in a daze, he saw Li Yuyan sitting beside him, staring at him stupidly.

Lin Xiao froze for a moment, then moved to the side, trying to keep a certain distance from Li Yuyan.

She still couldn't accept that she had crossed over, so she bent out of nowhere.

Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's avoidance, curled his lips in frustration, and murmured in a low voice:

"Am I that scary?"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuyan stood up, turned around and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard Lin Xiao shout weakly:
"Yu Yan."

Li Yuyan stopped, looked back at Lin Xiao and said:
"what happened?"

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"I'm sorry, yesterday I"

Li Yuyan shook his head and interrupted Lin Xiao:

"I don't blame you, you're right, the current situation is indeed very difficult, I shouldn't force you, and you don't want to think about it, let's talk about it later!"

Lin Xiao felt a little guilty when he heard this.

Yesterday Li Yuyan must have been very tired after climbing mountains and wading in order to find himself?
Li Yuyan walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around to look at Lin Xiao and said:
"Most of the flood has receded, and the villagers have all descended the mountain one after another. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Take it easy. I'll wait for you outside, don't worry."

When Lin Xiao heard this, a warm current surged in his heart.

She knew he didn't wake her up because he cared about her.

Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao for a while, then turned and left.

Lin Xiao looked at the back of Li Yuyan who was drifting away, and her strange feelings for him suddenly rose in her heart. She had never felt this way before.

It was as if a hand was tickling her chest, making her feel hot and restless all over.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the changes in her heart, and kept admonishing herself in her heart:

"Lin Xiao, you can't go on like this, or you will fall completely! You have to find a way to divert your attention!"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and put all distracting thoughts out of his mind.

On the way down the mountain, the two of them didn't communicate much. It wasn't until they saw the Lin Family Village that Li Yuyan couldn't help but say:

"This time the loss is quite serious. Don't be sad. Money is something outside of your body. You can earn it back when you have a chance in the future."

Lin Xiao smiled, slightly displeased and said:

"Why, am I just a money fan in your eyes?"

"No, no, that's not what it means."

Seeing that Lin Xiao had misunderstood, Li Yuyan quickly explained.

Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuyan's flustered look, pursed his lips and smiled, and changed the subject:
"This disaster is half natural and half man-made!"

"What do you mean?"

"Natural disasters refer to sudden storms, which no one can control, but there are many factors of man-made disasters, and the most important factor is the river embankment. I don't understand why it is not repaired in normal times?!"

After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Li Yuyan was puzzled and said:
"It shouldn't be. Every year after the autumn harvest, each village organizes a group of people to repair the river embankment and dam. Even if it hasn't been repaired in time this year, the river embankment repaired last year should be able to withstand the flood, right?"

"Resist the fart! There was a big hole, and the embankment burst directly!"

"what?!"

Li Yuyan's eyes widened with shock.

As far as he knows, projects such as repairing embankments and dams are major projects that benefit the people, and they have been the top priority since ancient times.

In order to prevent repairers from cutting corners and materials, the village chiefs or towns where the embankments and dams are located are directly responsible.

Who cares about protecting their stuff?
This is simply a fantasy!

Lin Xiao was too lazy to explain so much to him, and continued:
"Believe it or not, the reason why Lin Family Village was submerged by the flood was because of the breach of the embankment. If you don't believe it, you can send someone over there to investigate!"

After all, Lin Xiao quickened his pace down the mountain and ignored Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and followed quickly.

It's not that he doesn't believe Lin Xiao's words, but he can't believe it.

The embankment burst?
This... This is simply too exaggerated!
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, this situation has never happened!

Li Yuyan quickly caught up with Lin Xiao, frowned and said:

"Ah Xiao, I didn't say I don't believe you, it's just..."

Lin Xiao looked at Li Yuyan angrily:
"Just what? Take a look down the mountain, what the hell is the village we depend on for survival being invaded by the flood? It's all because of the river embankment bursting!"
