After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 345 Study Room Surprise

Ye Erlang took out a tinderbox and carefully ignited the firewood. The dry firewood underneath ignited and the wet firewood on top was also ignited, and thick smoke billowed instantly.

The wind was blowing from the southeast today, and the smoke was drifting in the direction of the Beehive.

The bees were smoked and flew away, flying around the hive in anger.

The queen bee was also protected by the worker bees and flew out, looking for a place to stay nearby.

After lighting the fallen leaves, the four of them went to the upwind side and hid far away.

At the beginning, the bees flew vigorously, but the more smoke they inhaled, the heavier their wings became. Gradually, there was no bee left wherever the smoke passed.

The four of them waited for a while, and when there were no more bees flying around, they dared to get closer to take a look.

To be on the safe side, Ye Chenjing put on all the equipment he had brought with him, took the prepared jars, and quietly approached the beehive.

Ye Qing and his companions were terrified, worried that there were still bees left in the hive.

Ye Chenjing wore a special hat, a leather jacket, and leather gloves, and walked towards the hive with a strange posture.

Ye Chenjing still had a cloth on his face, trying to provide as much protection as possible.

Walking to the beehive, Ye Chenjing moved a stone from the side and stepped on it carefully.

Ye Chenjing carefully took out a wooden spoon from the jar and carefully put some honey into the jar.

Ye Chenjing did not take all of it away. He left some for the bees. Once they put out the thick smoke, the bees should come back.

Ye Chenjing moved back carefully and filled the two jars in the backpack.

Lin Wenxuan took the backpack and Ye Erlang helped him take off his clothes.

Ye Chenjing's face was covered in sweat and his hair was wet.

"It's so hot. If it weren't for the honey, I would never wear this outfit." Ye Chenjing wiped the sweat from his face.

"Hurry up, talk farther away." Ye Qing urged the three.

"You go first, I'll put out the fire." Ye Erlang just brought over another bucket of water.

Without hesitation, the three of them picked up their backpacks and went to the mountain spring to wait for Ye Erlang.

Ye Qing and Lin Wenxuan scooped up some water and drank two sips. The spring water was cool and sweet, and they couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

Ye Chenjing washed his hands and face at a place far away from the source.

The cold spring water splashed on my face, taking away all the heat.

When the sweat on his face disappeared, Ye Chenjing took a few steps forward and drank half a belly of water, imitating Ye Qing.

"Brother, one of the jars we brought is still empty. Let's fill it with water and take it back to boil some water to drink." Ye Qing went to rummage through the backpack.

"No need for that. The water from our well tastes good too." Ye Chenjing thought it was a bit too heavy.

Lin Wenxuan helped clean the jars, "That's different. Some people collect snow from plum blossoms to make tea. It must taste different from other water."

Seeing Lin Wenxuan's support, Ye Qing looked at Ye Chenjing proudly.

Ye Chenjing felt sorry for his sister, and he just said it just now. Once he got enough water, he would definitely help carry it down the mountain.

They sat down to rest for a while, and Ye Erlang came over with a bucket of water.

This bucket was placed here by the villagers for everyone to use.

Ye Erlang turned the bucket upside down on an upright stick so that no leaves would fall into it and it would not be destroyed by other animals.

After the four of them had rested enough, they went down the mountain along the road.

Ye Qing carried a small backpack. The big backpack she had brought up was full of persimmons. Lin Wenxuan helped her carry it down the mountain.

When they arrived at the village, Ye Chenjing took Lin Wenxuan to his home to play.

Zhou opened the door and saw several people coming back in an orderly manner. She happily went to take their backpacks.

"Aunt, please don't do that. The backpack is too heavy. Let's just put it down." Lin Wenxuan dodged Zhou's hand that was trying to take the backpack.

"Good child, go slowly, be careful not to get hurt." Zhou did not reach out her hand again, as she could not refuse the child's kindness.

Zheng Qin poured some water for them, "Drink some water, you've sweated so much."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law." The three of them took the teacups sweetly.

Ye Erlang took the water but didn't drink it. He first cared about Zheng Qin.

"How was your day at home? Did the child make a fuss?"

Zheng Qin's face turned red. She whispered that it was okay and took a fan to fan Ye Erlang.

Mrs. Li was very satisfied to see the harmonious appearance of the young couple, and stood up to see the things they brought back.

"These two jars of honey contain a lot of weight, probably about five or six kilograms." Li picked them up and tested the weight.

I saw another jar next to it and opened it to take a look.

"Qingya, what's in this? It looks like water to me." Li shook the jar.

Zhou was a little curious and walked over to take a look.

"There's spring water in there, from the spring on the mountain. It tastes very sweet. I happen to have a jar in my hand, so I'll bring some down to boil water to drink." Ye Qing explained.

Li and Zhou were so amused that they laughed, "You kids, you do whatever you want. You are willing to accompany her in her mischief."

Zhou got up and went into the kitchen, took out a clean jar, divided the water in the jar into two parts, and would take some back to Lin Wenxuan later.

Lin Wenxuan chatted with Li for a while, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he stood up and said goodbye and went back.

Zhou took some of the things they brought back from the mountain back to Lin Wenxuan.

These things are just for fun, everyone can try them.

After Lin Wenxuan walked out the door, Ye Qing thought of the books at home and reminded him.

"Brother Xuan, please come back tomorrow. I have collected some books. Come and see if there is anything you like."

When Lin Wenxuan heard that there was a book, he quickly agreed.

Ye Chenjing also heard Ye Qing's voice and walked over to ask.

"Qingya, what book? You asked someone to buy a book for you again."

Ye Qing smiled mysteriously and pointed to the room that was used as a study.

Ye Chenjing took two steps at a time and rushed towards the room.

Ye Qing counted quietly in his heart, and just when he counted to three, Ye Chenjing's surprised voice came from the study.

"There are so many books, and there are many that I have never seen before. Our academy does not have them."

Ye Chenjing took a few glances and came out of the study.

Zhou was a little puzzled, "Why did you come out?"

"I'm all sweaty. Let me wash up and change my clothes before reading." Ye Chenjing was worried about dirtying the books.

Children from farming families cherish books very much. A book is very expensive, so they are usually kept as heirlooms.

"Qingya, where did you get so many books? I saw there was also a collection of poems by Su Shi." Ye Chenjing was still very excited.

"Fifth brother, let me tell you in secret, that book was written by Su Caizi himself." Ye Qing waited to see Ye Chenjing's reaction.

Ye Chenjing was in disbelief at first, then gradually became excited.

"The calligraphy of the great scholar Su is very beautiful. I want to learn from it. Maybe I can get some insights from it." Ye Chenjing went to the backyard to wash up.

By the time he finished washing up, dinner was ready.

After dinner, Ye Chenjing didn't want to go out with them and wanted to read at home.

Not only did he watch it himself, he also went to find Ye Chenyu and asked him to come and watch it with him.

Each of them drank a glass of water, picked up a book, and read slowly under the oil lamp.
