Chapter 264 The storm is coming
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Chenxi said confidently: "I am my sister's biological brother, what's wrong with me appearing in front of you?
It is said that "love the house and love the dog". If you really like my sister, how could you dislike me?

You despise me so much, I'm beginning to doubt your feelings towards my sister... um... wuwu..."

Before Ye Chenxi could finish his words, Chu Anlan covered his mouth tightly.

He struggled hard, but found that Chu Anlan was much stronger than him.

You know, he used to be the winner in arm wrestling.

Ye Chenxi struggled continuously: "Ugh! Wuuwuwu..."

Chu Anlan held his hands behind his back with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand: "Apologize. If you don't apologize, I will have someone hang you upside down on a pear tree and have someone tickle you."

"Hmm! Hmm!" Ye Chenxi widened his eyes.

"Are you still not convinced?" Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows.

“Wuwu…” Ye Chenxi struggled and turned his head to ask Ye Wanqing for help: “Um! Wuwu…”

There was a sense of misery in the tail end of his voice.

Ye Wanqing opened her lips slightly: "Sir, my brother said that he apologized and he knew he was wrong, so you should let him go first."

"No way!" Chu Anlan gave her a direct translation: "When I asked him to apologize, he replied, no, no.

I asked him if he was convinced, and he replied, “No,” and looked at you and said, “Sister, save me.”

Seeing the two people's reactions, Chu Anlan was happy: "Ye Chenxi, am I right?"

Ye Chenxi got anxious and opened his mouth to bite.

"Ah!" Chu Anlan suddenly let go of the person, shaking his hand in pain and disgust: "Ye Chenxi, you are born in the year of the dog, right?"

Ye Chenxi jumped and hid behind Ye Wanqing, and poked his head out: "It was obviously you who started it first!"

"Tsk..." Chu Anlan looked at the teeth marks on the palm of his hand, feeling extremely disgusted: "Your saliva is all over my hand, ugh..."

If you were not Qing'er's brother, I would have cut off your tongue."

Ye Chenxi made a face.

Ye Wanqing patted his head and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's stop playing around and go see how the ditch is being dug."

Ye Chenxi said happily: "Okay, hehe."

Chu Anlan: “…Tsk!”

Suddenly I feel that my brother-in-law, who grew up with me, is too redundant. What should I do?
Chu Anlan bent down and washed his hands three times in the ditch, shaking off the water stains: "Let's go."

Beside the field.

The young and strong servants worked quickly and efficiently.

After half an hour of digging, two long and deep ditches were dug.

Chu Anlan checked it once and said, "Call it a day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard cheers coming from the river in the distance.

It turned out that the county magistrate asked the village head to take the farmers to get the cut dead bamboo, and then light it on fire to burn the locusts at night.

Chu Anlan also asked his servants to get a few bundles for Aunt Hua's family.

After receiving the torches, a group of people marched through the fields and headed towards Aunt Hua's house.

As dusk falls, the weary birds return home.

Dark clouds gathered from all directions, getting lower and lower.

At Chu Anlan's request, Aunt Hua actually cooked a big pot of noodles and side dishes in the evening.

The cook prepared many other dishes.

The servants, who had been busy all afternoon, ate with particular relish.

Even Ye Chenxi ate two more bowls of noodles, praising while eating: "The noodles made by Aunt Hua are really delicious!

The noodles are delicious, and the noodles are delicious too..."

Aunt Hua was so delighted by the compliment that her eyes were kinder and gentler than usual: "If you like it, eat more.

There is still a lot in the pot, if it is not enough, go get more."

"Okay, okay!" Ye Chenxi buried his head in eating.

Aunt Hua sighed: "When my son was still alive, he also liked the noodles I cooked. He would always order two more bowls every time he ate noodles."

Ye Chenxi looked at her with his cheeks bulging from eating.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Aunt Hua smiled wistfully, then stood up and said, "I'll go get a bowl of soup."

After saying that, he went into the kitchen alone.

Ye Chenxi then raised his head and whispered to Ye Wanqing beside him: "Sister, did I say something wrong?
But I didn’t seem to say anything.”

Ye Wanqing placed a plate of shredded cucumbers next to him and said, "It's not your fault. Aunt Hua must be missing her husband and son.

Eat more fruits and vegetables, and your body will grow faster." "Should I comfort her?" Ye Chenxi asked.

Ye Wanqing looked towards the kitchen and shook her head: "Let her stay quiet for a while.

Saying words of comfort would only make her more sad."

"Ok."

When dinner was over, it was already dark.

The wind is getting heavier.

The roar of thunder sounded from time to time.

After dinner, the servants, led by Mo Yan, lit torches and went to the fields to burn locusts. The maids spontaneously put down their bowls and chopsticks and helped clean up in the yard.

After cleaning up, the wind became more moist.

A mountain breeze blew, bringing with it a slightly cool mist.

The lightning and thunder became more and more frequent.

Ye Wanqing stretched out her hand and let the mountain breeze blow through her fingers: "The rain is coming, we should go back to the city.

If it’s too late, it will rain.”

After Aunt Hua fed Alan, she went out holding an oil lamp and said, "You have worked so hard today.

It’s getting late, you should go home.

Come to me again when you have time, and I will cook noodles for you again."

Looking at the woman with gray hair under the flickering lights, Ye Wanqing softened her voice and said, "Don't worry about the locusts.

Take good care of yourself and Alan, and take a good rest when it rains."

"Ai……"

Aunt Hua responded.

"Then we'll leave." Chu Anlan patted his robe and said, "You should get some rest early."

"Aunt Hua, see you another day." Ye Chenxi also greeted her obediently.

Aunt Hua waved her hand.

The group left the courtyard.

In front of the courtyard gate, a faint fire flickered in the night wind for a long time until it went out.

The carriage drove onto the field road.

After nightfall, the fields were lit with torches everywhere, making it more lively than during the day.

The mountain breeze carried with it moisture, bringing a chill.

As the wind blew, the shouts and laughter of young people could be heard in the fields, and the torches moved faster.

From time to time, a faint smell of burning came from the wind.

Ye Chenxi pinched his nose and said with disdain from time to time: "It stinks so bad, it stinks so bad, please hurry up the carriage."

"Smelly?" Chu Anlan teased, "Shouldn't you think it smells good?

You ate a lot during the day."

Ye Chenxi touched his neck: "Ugh..."

Chu Anlan hid behind Ye Wanqing in disgust: "If you dare to vomit on the carriage, I will throw you off!"

Ye Chenxi stuck out his tongue.

Ye Wanqing raised her hand and opened the car window curtain on the other side.

As soon as the curtain was opened, a cool breeze carrying water vapor swept across the entire carriage, sweeping away the unpleasant burnt smell.

Ye Wanqing leaned forward slightly.

In the dark night, the distant mountains look like giant beasts, shrouded in hazy fog.

No, that's not fog.

Lightning struck, illuminating a large area of ​​rain.

"The storm is coming." Ye Wanqing said.

"Let me see." Chu Anlan stretched his neck and looked out of the carriage almost close to her face: "It's true."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant's voice came from outside the carriage: "It's raining a little..."

There was a sudden noise in the fields.

The torch, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly sped up and left a red afterimage like a swimming dragon.

Ye Wanqing stretched out her hand, and large, cold raindrops fell on her palm: "I think there will be a rainstorm."
