Chapter 65
【Absorb Yang Qi】
Ye Fan didn't pretend to be affectionate, Li Yao set off firecrackers to attract his attention.
To be exact, the things in that boat were mainly prepared for him.
The boatmen of the Li family lifted two huge fresh-keeping cabinets from the double-decker two-masted ship. The cabinets themselves are not heavy, but the contents inside—
One cabinet is filled with sweet and sour snacks such as raisins, walnuts, and preserved apricots from the west;
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people in Beijing enjoy eating river fresh food. Li Yao remembered that Ye Fan also liked it, so he bought a cabinet full of it for him.
The villagers paid attention all the way, watching the two strange-looking big white "boxes" being carried into the Ye family's cave.
Eh?Why did you enter the Ye Family Cave?Isn't that something from Master Chang'an Hou?
Li Sanlang said with a smile: "That's a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from my elder brother to Brother Ye."
There was a "buzzing" discussion in the crowd, and everyone looked at Ye Fan at the same time—Marquis Chang'an gave Ye Xiaolang a gift?What a face!
Li Yao pursed his lips and swept towards Li Sanlang lightly.
Li Sanlang was excited, and quickly added: "I, my elder brother also said that... the orphans who lost their parents, the widowed old people, the hard-working grannies, and filial sons and grandchildren, etc., can all come to pick them up!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately shifted away from Ye Fan, and they all thanked Li Yao for his generosity.
Ye Fan folded his arms, pretending to be good-looking when he got a bargain, "The sky is bright and bright, and everyone is watching, aren't you letting others gossip about me?"
"No one dares to say it." Li Yao said solemnly.
Ye Fan raised his eyes and said in a strange tone, "Don't expect me to be grateful to you. Phrases like 'eat people's mouths are short, and people's hands are short' don't work well here."
Li Yao nodded solemnly, "No need to be grateful."
Ye Fan tried his best to control the raised corners of his mouth, and pointed his chin at him, "Hey, if you apologize now, I will consider whether to temporarily end the cold war."
"Sorry." Li Yao didn't hesitate - although he didn't feel that he was in a cold war with him at all.
Ye Fan grinned, jumped down from the slope, walked up to Li Yao step by step, and bumped into Li Yao's arm actively.
"I'm in a good mood today, so let me know if you have any requests."
Li Yao hooked his lips, and said cooperatively: "Please show me your face, Mr. Xiaolang, and we will go down together."
Ye Fan put his arm on his shoulder, his bright black eyes bent into little moons, "I appreciate this face!"
So, one person rode a bay red horse and the other rode a little donkey, and they drove northward side by side.
At this moment, if someone looks carefully, it is not difficult to find that the donkey is unhurried and has a leisurely posture, while the horse is hurrying and exhausting, even so, the big horse is still half a body behind.
***
Qingxi Valley is exactly the valley that White Deer brought Ye Fan to before, and it is also the place where they picked up the little gray rabbit.
However, if Li Yao hadn't told him, Ye Fan would never have been able to match everything in front of him with that wild valley full of wild grass.
At this time, the two stood on the cliff, and as far as their eyes could see was a stream with a clear bottom. The bottom of the water was covered with white rocks, and green aquatic plants grew on both sides.
The stream flows from north to south, and it was supposed to turn a corner at the cliff, and then flow eastward to release the Fen River.
I don't know who opened up the cliff, but Qingxi has a tributary here, and it goes south.
There was no grass growing on the south side of the cliff, but at this time tender grass sprouts grew due to the infiltration of the stream.
To the north of the cliff, the former shrubs and rocks are gone, replaced by knee-high pastures, and black, red, and white ponies stand in twos and threes on the grass.
Strong ponies, so many!
Ye Fan looked at the people around him in surprise, "You raised it?"
Li Yao chuckled, "Do you like it?"
Ye Fan looked at him, "If I say I like it, give it to me?"
Li Yao nodded without hesitation.
There wasn't a single beautiful word, but Ye Fan knew that he was sincere, as long as he said yes, he would definitely give it all to him without blinking an eye.
Thinking about it this way, little morning glory bloomed in my heart.
"very nice."
Looking at the long stream with clear water and abundant grass and good horses, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that there is such a good place to raise horses in this arid place in the pass."
Recalling the history I have learned, a generation of virtuous ministers even thought of going out to private households to "split distribution" in order to raise horses in the Central Plains.
Even so, it is still impossible to raise the kind of good breeds on the grassland that are good at fighting.
He knew that this valley must have been Li Yao's idea, and he didn't know how much thought it took to make it what it is today.
"If you are the emperor, you must be a wise king." Ye Fan joked with a smile.
As everyone knows, the speaker has no intention of speaking, but the listener has intention.
Li Yao was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of turmoil - if those intermittent memories were real, then he would not be considered a "Ming Jun".
"Hey, look, what is that?" Ye Fan pointed to a mountain wall to the east and asked suspiciously.
Li Yao suppressed his disturbed mood, and faced the young man in front of him with the most relaxed attitude—this real, talking and laughing person.
"Did you just find out? Let's go and have a look."
Before Ye Fan refused, he took his hand and walked east along the cliff step by step.
Ye Fan's first reaction was to open his hand, but...it's been gone for almost seven days, gentlemen, just, just pull it.
So, not only did he not withdraw his hand, but he turned his back on the guest, secretly put his other hand on it, and touched it.
Well, it's hard, rough, and hot, and it's the same as it was six days ago.
Ye Fan poked his head, quietly taking advantage of it, while secretly laughing.
Li Yao raised his head, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, enjoying the rare initiative of the young boy.
Walking all the way to the end of the cliff, Ye Fan thought there was no way out, but unexpectedly, Li Yao pushed aside a bush at random, and miraculously found a hidden path.
The path is so narrow that only one person can pass sideways.
With his back against the mountain wall, Ye Fan moved sideways step by step like a crab.
Li Yao originally wanted him to walk in front so that he could protect from behind, but he didn't expect him to be so afraid.
"Don't laugh!" Seeing the smile on his face, Ye Fan glared at him angrily, "Aren't you afraid of heights?"
"I remember, you are not afraid of heights." Not only are you not afraid, but you also drag "him" to jump over a parachute and jump over a jump.
When the taboo topic was casually mentioned, both of them were speechless.
In the end, Li Yao was the first to break the silence, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to protect Ye Fan's waist.
Ye Fan puffed up his face, he wasn't really afraid, but when he was with this person, he would habitually develop a dependent mentality, and wanted him to care about him and protect him, just like now.
The narrow path was not long, but within a few dozen steps, they reached a wide platform.
Both of them paused under their feet, and there was an aura called "regret" swaying in their hearts.
Although the road was wider, Ye Fan still walked very slowly, and Li Yao didn't take back his hand. The two of them tacitly maintained the previous appearance of being close to each other and moving step by step.
Until passing by a clump of jujube trees, Li Yao tightened his arms and hooked the boy into his arms, "Be careful, there are thorns."
"is it?"
Ye Fan pretended to look curiously at the little thorns that were barely visible under the round green leaves, but he was secretly feeling the temperature behind him.
Looking at it, the jujube bushes suddenly parted to the two sides, and a stubbled face appeared.
"Oh, it's really Lord Hou!"
The man exclaimed, then turned his head, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Master Hou is here!"
"real or fake?"
"You kid, are you playing with brothers again?"
"If you keep bluffing, I'll take your skin off!"
With a sound of surprise or laughter, the bushes on the mountain wall shook one by one, and then a strong man walked out.
Ye Fan was surprised to find that behind the clumps of bushes was a hidden cave dwelling!
"Hey! It's really Lord Hou!"
"My subordinates are waiting to see Lord Hou!"
The big men saluted one after another.
An older man walked up to him quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has arrived suddenly, do you have any important orders?"
"Nothing." Li Yao raised his hand to the crowd, "There is no need to be too polite."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The men smiled and got up.
Li Yao turned his head and glanced at the nearest cave dwelling, "Is it okay?"
"Alright!"
"Better than ever!"
"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern."
"..."
The men talked in a hurry, they didn't look like well-trained soldiers, but more like simple peasants.
Ye Fan looked at it with his eyes, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.
Inadvertently, he saw a familiar person.However, he was not sure. In his impression, that person was much thinner than the one in front of him.
The other party noticed his gaze, looked over, and immediately cupped his hands, "Mr. Ye Xiaolang, Mr. Sun is being polite."
"Ah!" Ye Fan's eyes widened in surprise, it really was him!
This man's surname is Sun, and he is a disaster victim from the north of Anzhou. He has studied for two years, and was previously selected by Ye Fan as the small steward of the vineyard, so he has an impression.
Ye Fan's eyes flicked across the people one by one, and he suddenly realized that these people were selected by Li Yao at the beginning, and they were not included in the series, but hidden here.
Li Yao, what are you planning to do?
***
Ye Fan still couldn't calm down until he left Qingxi Valley.
He thought about it all the way, and finally couldn't help it, and asked jokingly: "You recruited troops secretly, don't you plan to rebel?"
Li Yao couldn't help but say what he said once in the scene that seemed familiar to him.
"If that's the case, what should you do?"
Ye Fan frowned and looked at him strangely.
With the shaking of the donkey's back, his body swayed.
Li Yao's heart also shook.
"Then let it go!" The young man grinned and said with a smile, "If I become an emperor, I can also be an emperor—er, I mean, a high official, I can also be a high-ranking official..."
Ye Fan turned his face away, and knocked his head angrily—almost said the truth!
Li Yao's expression was in a trance for a moment, the similar expression, the similar answer, the overlapping of the long memory and the scene in front of him made him shudder.
He was worried, that bronze sword...
Ye Fan noticed his expression and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yao shook his head, "It's nothing."
Ye Fan frowned, "I always think you have something on your mind."
More than just having something on his mind, he was almost... going crazy.
Li Yao's hand holding the rein was so tight that it turned white. At this moment, he suddenly understood the modern "he".
If it were him, facing such a situation, he would definitely choose to break up—just like the other person who sent his beloved away with his own hands.
No, Li Yao clenched his fist, he is not them, and they can't control him, he will never, never give up on the person he wants.
"Well--"
Now that he was out of the mountain, Ye Fan was twisting his neck to look at his own vineyard, a hand suddenly appeared on his waist, and he snatched him away from the white deer in a daze.
Ye Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Are you addicted to playing?"
"Yeah." Li Yao admitted bluntly.
"Hey!" Ye Fan twisted his body and raised his head to pinch his face, "We weigh 80 kg, and the full length of 60 kg is on his face."
Stern and smiling like Li Yao, with a heavy heart like Li Yao, he couldn't help but chuckle at this time.
"Fanfan, don't worry, I made these arrangements just to protect myself and not to rebel."
So what if it succeeds?Gained the country, but lost the love, and lost the stability of the whole life.This time, he will not repeat the same mistakes.
Ye Fan pouted, what should I worry about?
He held the rein in his hand and said, "Didn't you tell me that you have to go through something in your life, sooner or later, just take it easy and let it pass..."
Listening to his nagging comfort, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
Those dreams that bothered him so much, he and him, boy and youth, were nothing.
Only the person in his arms can be seen and touched.
***
The will of the capital came down.
As expected by Li Yao, An Wang saved An Huai, and at the same time, he bleeds severely - in addition to the management in Beijing, he also paid for all the money for the aftermath.
This is already the best result.
Li Yao did not come forward for the follow-up matters, and left it to County Magistrate Tan to arrange.
The county magistrate Tan didn't dare to take the credit, so he revealed Li Yao's credit to everyone.
The sufferers were so grateful that they went to the gate of Li's house to kowtow to express their gratitude.
The people involved in the accident got the money, but the destroyed brick kiln dared not build it anymore, even if it was built, it would not be able to recruit people.
However, as a result, the entire Tuyao Village fell into a difficult situation, including several nearby villages.Especially for those who have no land at home, their chewing needs in autumn and winter have not yet been settled.
Just when everyone was sighing, the Marquis of Chang'an sent out a part of the family song, beating gongs to every household in every village to publicize——
"Hou Ye wants to build a charcoal plant, and those who are interested in working should report to Guan Lizheng!"
The villagers pricked up their ears, for fear that they might hear wrongly.
"Hou Ye wants to build a charcoal plant, and those who are interested in working should report to Guan Lizheng!"
The parts were said several times, and they followed up and listened to them several times.
It wasn't until everyone got it right and sure, that the discussion started in full swing——
"The charcoal field? The charcoal mining?"
"Master Hou built it? Where was it built?"
"Is everyone able to respond to the job, but what can I say?"
The trilogy received the housekeeper's orders in advance, treated the villagers very kindly, and answered their questions one by one.
From this day on, the threshold of the Guan family was almost leveled, and the originally low fence wall was even more crushed.
Until the goslings at home were too shocked to eat, Third Sister Ye finally lost her temper.
"Either find an empty yard, or go to the avenue to talk! If you recruit people to the house again, don't come in!"
"Yes, yes, I'm going to find an empty yard right now." The eight-foot-tall man was scolded by a petite lady and promised repeatedly.
The men who came to apply for work were also frightened by the situation, and the feet that had just stepped forward shrank back abruptly.
Guan Erlang nestled on the kang, his face turned pale, "Hey, it seems that if you don't marry a wife, you have the advantage of not marrying a wife. In case you meet a sister-in-law again... Tsk tsk."
"Aren't you going to marry? You won't be able to marry!" Third Sister Ye knocked him angrily, "Let's go, let's go, don't put on such a pretense, tomorrow we will go to work in the winery!"
"Little brother obeys!" Guan Erlang cupped his hands nonchalantly.
Third Sister Ye couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
What happened to Guan Erlang could be hidden from outsiders, but not from their own family members. They guessed what was going on one after another, but they kept each other in their hearts. They only did their best to work in Ye's house, and silently regarded Ye Fan as a life-saving benefactor.
Just wait for Ye Fan to say hello one day, and the brothers will definitely go through fire and water without refusing - except for Guan Wulang, he really doesn't know.
***
In this way, the charcoal field in the west also opened.
Coal digging is a physical activity that also requires experience and technology. Even in the highly mechanized modern age, accidents of water discharge and mine collapse are still common.
In order to avoid such accidents as much as possible, Ye Fan exchanged a set of "prospectors" from the system store.
This instrument can detect rock structure and underground hydrology within a certain depth and range. According to the seller's publicity map, the accuracy can reach more than 98%.
Speaking of which, after experiencing the last "rebellion" incident, Ye Fan had a good "talk" with the system, and promised not to dislike it or speak ill of it, so the system continued to do things for him obediently.
"Better than before" - this is the original words of the system.
I don't know if it's because of Fat Group's upgrade. The system that was originally just a piece of code also has its own "thinking".
Ye Fan couldn't laugh or cry, all of them looked like spirits, but he, the host, became the bottom of the food chain.
He is not an interstellar person, and he lacks understanding of the intelligence level of that era, otherwise he must be able to know how different his "system" is, or in other words, abnormal.
Now, Ye Fan, kept in the dark, is only thinking about his ex-boyfriend foolishly and sweetly.
"What is this?"
Li Yao took the thin and thin survey instrument like a sports bracelet in his hand, and tried to put it on his wrist.
As a result, it couldn't be plugged in.
Looking at his old-fashioned appearance, Ye Fan suddenly thought that every time Li Yao gave him new sports equipment, he would look like this.
Feng Shui took turns, and finally it was his turn to be nervous.
"Don't you understand? Call me brother, I will show you." Ye Fan crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and was angry.
Li Yao used to say this to him often, he remembered it clearly, and Li Yao naturally knew it too.
If it was placed a few days ago, when he was struggling, Lord Chang'an Hou would have such a gloomy mind.
Fortunately, now he has figured it out, regardless of the past or the future, just look at the present—he is him, the boy is the boy, the boy is his, and it can only be his.
After figuring it out, Marquis Chang'an is still that autocratic, domineering, and macho ex-boyfriend.
"Say it again."
Ye Fan blinked, his thick eyelashes drooped down, looking at the hand pinched on his chin, he hesitated for a second.
"No, no more."
"Call."
pouted.
"Ok?"
"……elder brother."
"good."
Marquis Chang'an patted Xiao Langjun's face, um, it was as tender and smooth as ever.
When the crisis was resolved, Ye Fan jumped two meters away and focused on manipulating the survey instrument.
A red light was projected onto the floor tiles, and a one-meter-square virtual screen jumped out of the center of the "bracelet".
Because of the dream, it was not difficult for Li Yao to accept these high technologies.
He fixed his eyes on the image presented on the virtual screen, red, blue and white lines, blue is water, red is mine, white...
Ye Fan compared the position of the white dot and was sure it was right under his feet.
"What's in here?"
Li Yao pursed his lips with a serious expression, "Mouse hole."
Ye Fan jumped up and hid behind Li Yao.
Li Yao chuckled, "The garden was repaired before moving here, and it has already been blocked."
"Do you think I'm afraid of mice? How is it possible!"
Ye Fan tried his best to straighten his back, cleared his throat, and tried to shift Li Yao's attention to the virtual screen.
"I just think that this instrument is too accurate, even the mouse-uh..."
"Thank you." Li Yao pinched his chin, and he was about to leave.
Ye Fan blinked, and sucked his mouth subconsciously.
Just... was kissed?
Could it be that he imagined it himself?
Seeing his cute reaction, Li Yao's heart moved slightly, and his warm fingers slid from his chin to the back of his head, holding them firmly.
The sharp-edged lips reached down again, imprinting on the arched little pig's mouth.
"Hmm..." It's not a hallucination!
Ye Fan greedily inhaled "Yang Qi", while complaining aggrievedly——
Don't you have something on your mind?
Don't you want a cold war?
become so fast!
Scumbag!
At this moment, he apparently forgot that he was always the one who led all of this; he also forgot that he was the one who took the initiative.
Even when Li Yao was tangled, confused, and preoccupied, whenever he took the initiative to take a step, Master Chang'an Hou would definitely clear the fog and complete the remaining 99 steps.
