Farm with space

111 - Tacit understanding between father and daughter
It turns out that heaven and hell are just a thin line.

One moment Yuxi thought that Lu Zeting was a hero she could be attached to, but the next moment she found that the so-called promise was so vulnerable.

This was her first emotion, the most primitive touch, all shattered at that moment, and her belief in love fell to the ground.

Seeing that Yuxi stopped crying, Doctor Yun asked softly and concernedly: "What's wrong with Seventeen Niang? Is someone bullying you again?"

"No, no." Yuxi gently left Doctor Yun's embrace, wiping away the tears from her eyes with her sleeve.

People can be cowardly, but Yuxi does not allow this cowardice to last for a long time. She adjusted her mentality and emotions, and replied: "I lost my mind just now. The ancestral hall in the village was struck by lightning, and the water caught fire. I was sad for a while and cried. It made Master Yun laugh."

"Such a big event actually happened! Did anyone in Bian's Village get injured due to firefighting?" Doctor Yun hurriedly asked.Although Yuxi's explanation was a bit far-fetched, he thought it was weird that a girl was crying because of this incident, but thinking that someone might be hurt by it, Doctor Yun ignored the weirdness in his heart.

Then he asked strangely: "Isn't Bianjia Village busy with hunting in the mountains these days? Everyone goes to the village to eat wild game in the mountains. Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"Uh, this..." Yuxi didn't expect Dr. Yun to ask, so he told a little lie: "Because when we were hunting in the mountains, Yupang and I found a lot of herbs, so we collected them from the mountain I was in charge of. When I came out of Lishan, I happened to meet people from Yijia Village who went to my village to see young girls. They said that the ancestral hall was on fire, so they told me to go back and have a look. After all, they are people with foreign surnames, so it is not easy to help. I planned to return to the village immediately I thought that someone in the village might be injured, so I came to ask you to go. I was so worried that I couldn't help crying."

For some reason, Yuxi didn't want Dr. Yun to know how sad she was for Lu Zeting, so she said that.Things changed so suddenly, Yuxi went from joy to sadness, and needed to vent her grief and anger, so she didn't return to Bianjia Village immediately, but came to Doctor Yun.

Unknowingly, Dr. Yun has become an indispensable friend in her life, a teacher and a friend, and a trustworthy object. This kind of feeling has nothing to do with love.

How could she have expected that this action would make Lu Zeting misunderstand her relationship with Dr. Yun even more, and even be on the verge of going berserk and out of control.

Yuxi's words made sense, and Dr. Yun also knew that those unmarried people in Yijia Village would come to Bianjia Village during this time, and most of his suspicions disappeared.He said: "So don't be too sad, I'll go get the medicine box and go with you."

After Dr. Yun finished speaking, he went back to the hut to get the medicine box.

Yuxi hesitated for a moment, didn't call Dr. Yun to stop, walked to the side of the big rock and sat down a little absent-mindedly, and was taken aback.

Uncle Wu was busy with work in the kitchen, while Nong Fang was busy helping.

Wanwan was lying on the edge of the bed in the room looking at the herbal atlas, humming and singing a little tune.

Therefore, none of them saw Yuxi crying and embarrassed just now, otherwise she must have some excuses.

Dr. Yun walked into the kitchen and said to Uncle Wu, "going out to see a doctor", then took a piece of dry food and carried the medicine box out of the hut.

Uncle Wu will prepare some dry food for Dr. Yun every day, so that he needs to go out during the eating period due to emergencies, so as to prevent him from going out on an empty stomach and suffering from stomach pain.

Seeing Dr. Yun coming out, Yuxi came back to her senses, followed him down the mountain and said, "Master Yun, you will enter through the entrance of the village in a while, and I will go back through the back mountain. After all, I came out privately and hid herbs in Lishan. I want to sell herbal medicines." Behavior is not allowed by the family rules of Bianjia Village. After a while, people in the village will inevitably have some thoughts when they see you and I return to the village together."

Yuxi doesn't want to go with Dr. Yun, if Erye Bian meets her, I don't know if he will think that the person she has "adulterate-love" with is Dr. Yun.She didn't want anyone to misunderstand the pure friendship between her and Dr. Yun.

Dr. Yun nodded and said: "Okay. After all, you are about to reach Ji, so you should worry about the difference between men and women, lest people say that I am different from you. Even if I don't care about this, your father probably does."

At a fork in the road, the two parted ways.

On the way back to the back mountain, Yuxi passed a mountain where there was a pine forest. She had an idea and thought of a way to walk into the pine forest.

After a while, she came down from the hill, holding a flat wooden box in her hand.When she returned to the village, it was already dark.

Many people gathered in the ancestral hall in the village.The fire in the ancestral hall has been extinguished. Although the ancestral tablets inside were not burned, the beams of the ancestral hall and the exterior of the house were destroyed by the fire.

It can be seen that the lightning struck the tiles and quilts of the house in the ancestral hall, and the lightning caught fire, and the fire spread to the beams. Fortunately, it was raining lightly at the time, and the relatives were eating game in the back mountain, not far from the ancestral hall, so the fire was put out in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

If the ancestral memorial tablet is burned down, even if the patriarch doesn't want to move the village, the clan relatives may ask the patriarch to find another place nearby to settle down.

It is not surprising that the relatives have shadows in their hearts.

After this incident, since the ancestral tablet was not burned, there is no need to move the village, but the ancestral hall has to find another place to relocate and rebuild the house.

When Yuxi walked outside the ancestral hall, what he saw was a busy scene.

Men continued to help out the blackened girders from the damaged ancestral hall, and some people helped Bian Jinbo or Bian Wenbo's house to help out long pieces of wood to replace the blackened girders.Someone was constantly scraping the burnt-blackened wall, scraping off the black ash on it.

There are also some female relatives beside the ancestral hall, burning a kind of air-dried wood leaves shaped like palms in a large brazier, chanting words in their mouths, and bowing to the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall for a long time, with a face of repentance and piety.

The patriarch and several fathers and uncles stood on the other side, talking to a group of clan relatives who were not busy with the ancestral hall, and they kept saying things, nothing more than calming words, so that everyone thought it was just an accident, God didn't mean it The Bian clan should be punished and let them go home and rest with peace of mind. If anyone is found to be spreading rumors and making troubles, they will use this to exaggerate their words, and those who cause troubles will be punished according to clan rules.

Although some people in the group of relatives whispered to each other from time to time, there was no commotion like before.

The patriarch's words played a soothing role and made them feel at ease.

Yuxi understood the patriarch's decision at a glance. He planned to clean up the filth of the ancestral hall first, so that the ancestors could stay in it more comfortably, and then he would move the ancestral hall to a nearby place on an auspicious day.

But these are not her things to worry about. She wanted to leave here, but Erye Bian, who was standing beside the patriarch, saw her and stopped her and said, "Mother Seventeen, come here."

Yuxi looked calm on the outside, but approached the crowd with some trepidation in his heart, thinking about the wooden box in his hand, feeling a little more at ease, and calmly came in front of Second Master Bian.

The patriarch wanted to inquire about Yuxi in private, but Unexpectedly, Second Master Bian said: "Mother Seventeen, everyone was eating wild food before, where did you go?"

Second Lord Bian's intention was to ask Yuxi in front of the patriarch and those who knew about Yujing's complaint, and let her answer directly.Because Yuxi was asked this time, no matter whether she had a private meeting with Lu Zeting or not, Yuxi is not an idiot, so she would naturally find an excuse to resolve the matter. Second Lord Bian still has this little confidence in Yuxi, so because Yuxi has already answered However, it is not good for the patriarch to ask Yuxi about this in private.

Second Lord Bian was worried that the patriarch would press Yuxi in private, and even sacrifice Yuxi's happiness for the sake of the Bian clan, which he didn't want to see.

As for the aftermath, he would naturally find an opportunity to ask Yuxi if it happened.

Yuxi was worried that the patriarch would "interrogate" her in private, but she didn't expect Erye Bian to interrogate her in public. This was a chance for her to get rid of her "crime". Anyway, only a few fathers and uncles here knew what Yu Jing said.

For the first time, the father and daughter had a tacit understanding with each other.

Yuxi lifted the wooden box in his hand and held it in front of his chest for everyone to see, "I ate wild food, and I was a little stretched. I wanted to walk around, but then I thought that the pine oil lamp in the house was about to run out of pine oil. So I went to the top of the pine forest and went to Get some pine oil and go home. I didn’t expect to find a place to hide from the rain when it rained heavily. I didn’t return to the village until the rain stopped. I didn’t expect such a big event to happen in the ancestral hall. It’s really worrying for my daughter in my life!”

Yuxi said with a sad face and a sad look on his face.

What Yuxi said was well-founded, and the pine oil in his hand was the best proof.Although she hasn't eaten wild food in the past few days until the party is over, she always waits for everyone to eat and eat before leaving. Sometimes when she sees delicious game, Yuxi will also eat a piece of it Xiaokou, it wasn't that she wasn't in the back mountain from the beginning.When everyone was eating happily, no one cared about whether she would stay or not. Who knew whether Yuxi had eaten wild food or not.

Moreover, there is a time lag when the showers come. Who cares to think about where Yuxi went when the showers fell.

Second Master Bian's nervousness eased a little, he nodded and smiled at Yuxi, "You can't help with the ancestral hall, you'd better go home quickly, so as not to catch the cold."

Seeing Yuxi's answer, the patriarch wanted to ask Yuxi privately, but he also thought about the motive of Erye Bian's actions. It's not good to be in a hurry, and there are still a lot of things about the ancestral hall that he needs to deal with. The matter about Yuxi can only be discussed later depending on the situation.

Seeing that the patriarch didn't say anything, Yuxi accepted Erye Bian's words by default. She smiled and said, "Father still feels sorry for his daughter. My daughter is resigning now. Dear clansmen, forgive Seventeenth Mother Yu."

Yuxi saluted, smiled at Bian Erye and the patriarch, turned around and left calmly.

After walking a few steps, I saw Dr. Yun coming with a medicine box.

The distance between Yuxi and Dr. Yun is shorter than that of Dr. Yun. In addition, the ancestral hall is next to the back mountain. It takes a long distance for Dr. Yun to approach Bianjia Village and then to the ancestral hall. It is not surprising that Yuxi arrived before him.

Yuxi pretended not to meet Dr. Yun before, and asked, "Why is Master Yun here?"
