The cold-faced chief loves the little maid

Lu Xiaoxian woke up very early the next day, just after washing up, Manda came, and looked around as soon as he entered the door, like an old dog, sniffing here and there, when he saw the basket of hay and the handful of bananas, Her gaze paused briefly.Lu Xiaoxian was very eye-catching, and quickly broke one for her, but Manda was not polite, peeled the skin and ate it.

Although Manda's English is not good, he can barely communicate.She brought a tablet computer and taught Lu Xiaoxian to recognize various common diseases of rubber trees.The most common is powdery mildew. There will be white powder on the leaves, forming white/powdery spots. The leaves will be necrotic and fall off, causing the branches to wither, delaying the rubber tapping period, affecting latex production, and losing seeds... The damage is extremely serious.

And anthracnose, pitting, cankers on the trunk, dead skin disease... and so on.These things sounded boring at first, but Lu Xiaoxian was not at all impatient, and listened very carefully.

While speaking, Manda observed Lu Xiaoxian carefully, and she didn't know how much she listened to, but she was satisfied with the woman's concentration.

When Manda stopped to rest, Lu Xiaoxian went to the kitchen to scoop up a ladle of water and gave it to her. There was not even a cup here, so she had to drink from a ladle when she was thirsty. Manda took it and drank half of it in one go. Just about to pour out the rest, Lu Xiaoxian let out a hey, took it, and drank it himself.

Manda glanced at her, slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, rested for a while, and then continued.

A morning passed quickly in Manda's explanation.

At noon, Manda was about to go back, Lu Xiaoxian asked her to stay and eat with him, but Manda told her that the food here is served by head, if she stayed, Lu Xiaoxian would not have enough food.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said it's okay, Manda has taught her so much knowledge, as a teacher, she should treat the teacher to a meal, this is the most basic courtesy.

Manda hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Probably because of the short mouth of the cannibal, the attitude of manda when eating is better, and he has a selective answer to Lu Xiaoxian's questions, such as why no one taps the rubber tree in front of the door?It's because these trees are now in a rest period. After two months, new skins will grow out, and the leaves will grow old before they can be tapped again. During this period, only Lu Xiaoxian will stay here and take care of these trees.

Lu Xiaoxian made gestures to describe the kind of red fruit he saw, and asked her if she could eat it?
Manda said that it is a kind of pickled fruit, which can be eaten or put in dishes, and it has a slightly sour taste.

For Lu Xiaoxian, this is undoubtedly good news, the corners of her lips curled up in a smile.Manda seemed to be infected by her, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Manda left after eating, Lu Xiaoxian gave her the handful of bananas, gave it to her for a while, and then returned to the hut.

Didn't she ask where Manda lives?It shouldn't be far, because she came here on foot and arrived very early, and one of the dozen forked roads must lead to Manda's residence.

She didn't ask how long she would stay here?At least two months. After two months, rubber tapping will start here, and there will be too many people. Lin Peizhi should transfer her away.

Life in the woods is very hard, but for Lu Xiaoxian, she only feels leisure, like returning to the days when she lived alone when she was a child, no TV, no contact with the outside world, every day is by herself, cooking, washing, and walking around , I sang loudly when I felt that it was too quiet. Occasionally, a bird would stop at the window and look curiously into the house.

On the third morning, when Manda came over, she took the lock off the window and opened the window completely. Although she didn't say anything, Lu Xiaoxian could see that she was being kind.Because once the window was opened, the unpleasant smell in the room became much weaker.

At noon, Lu Xiaoxian invited her to eat again, but Manda refused, and only took away the banana that Lu Xiaoxian gave her.

On the fourth day, which was the last day when Manda came here, Lu Xiaoxian picked a bunch of wild flowers in the forest and gave them to her. Manda was a little surprised, and a gleam of light flashed in her dry eyes. She smelled the wild flowers and nodded to Lu Xiaoxian, expressing that gratitude.

Today she is going to teach Lu Xiaoxian how to cut rubber. With a narrow machete, she cuts a shallow cut along the trace on the tree. White latex pops out immediately, and slowly flows down the knife edge until it reaches the bottom of the tree. There is a small bowl fixed on the trunk.

It looked easy, but it wasn't easy to do. Lu Xiaoxian was a novice, and after a few cuts, it was either shallow or deep. Manda didn't think she was stupid, and taught her patiently.

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly saw a bee with a big thumb that was about to land on Manda's head, and hurriedly waved it with his hand, trying to drive it away, but unexpectedly the bee rushed towards her, Manda's expression changed when he saw it. Changed, rushed back to the house, lit a brown incense-like thing and came out.

Lu Xiaoxian was being chased by the bee and ran all over the forest, she was running fast, although the bee was vicious, it couldn't do anything to her for a while, but it kept chasing her, whenever there was a gap, it would sting her fiercely.

Manda rushed over and waved the incense towards the bee. The rich aroma spread in the forest, and the bee disappeared without a trace.

Lu Xiaoxian crossed his waist and panted: "Then, what is that, good, so fierce!"

Manda was still in shock, and searched around again, then dragged Lu Xiaoxian back into the house and told her that it was the legendary killer bee, one sting would cause nerve paralysis. If you sting a few times, you will die. There are rubber workers who are stung by killer bees every year.When the locals mention the killer bee, their faces change. Fortunately, the killer bee also has natural enemies. It is afraid of a large flower called kenaf. The smell of that flower will suffocate it, so people use kenaf to make incense. When you get to the killer bee, you can drive it away by lighting the incense.

Manda suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Xiaoxian, which is considered a very grand gift in Aolai, Lu Xiaoxian was startled, and quickly avoided, she knew that Manda was thanking her for what happened just now, but it was just a small effort, besides She also didn't know that it was a very vicious killer bee, and she really couldn't afford such a big gift.

After this episode, Manda's attitude towards Lu Xiaoxian became better, and he even chatted with her.

When Lu Xiaoxian saw Manda for the first time, he thought she was an old woman over 60 years old. After chatting with her, he found out that Manda was only 40 years old, in the prime of life, but she was working in the open air all year round, which made her look old.Her family is very poor, her husband is a rubber cutter, her eldest son works in a food processing factory, and her youngest daughter lives with her in another cabin guarding the rubber forest.

The youngest daughter is only four years old, unable to work, and has no supplies. Manda can only give her a share of her own food, so when Lu Xiaoxian invited her to dinner for the first time, she knew it was not good, so she still had the cheek to stay. Come down, because I can save my share for my daughter to eat.

As for why the fire can only be lit once a day, it is to reduce the incidence of fires. The forest is full of trees and the weather is dry, so fires are most likely to occur, so the number of fires is reduced to a minimum.

Manda also told her that the leaves and seeds of the rubber tree are poisonous, so don’t touch them if you can. Although there are no wild animals in the forest, there are snakes, and most of the snakes are poisonous. Hou locked the doors and windows to prevent snakes from coming into the house.

Manda has worked in this rubber forest for 20 years, and has taught many women who are new to the industry. Every time she said this, the faces of those women would show fear, as if living here is a very important task. terrible thing.

The only exception is Lu Xiaoxian, she is very fair, has a gentle manner, speaks well, always smiles, and looks like a classy person.Manda felt that she should be more afraid of this harsh environment, but no, Lu Xiaoxian just listened very carefully, and then calmly accepted everything.

Lu Xiaoxian also mentioned her family to her, saying that her father loves her very much, her mother is very kind, her brother is handsome and capable, she has to call home every week to report her safety, but here, she does not have a mobile phone, this There is no way to report safety during the week, and the family will definitely be worried.

Manda glanced at her, but didn't respond.It wasn't until she was about to leave that he took out an old mobile phone from his body and handed it to her: "You can report that you are safe, but you can't say anything else."

Lu Xiaoxian was secretly happy, knowing that her guess was right, and Manda would help her.She called Lu Dingshen and said that she recently went to a place with beautiful scenery but poor signal, and she might not be able to call him on time, so he should not worry.

Every time Lu Dingshen received a call, he always told her this and that, and told her to come back quickly.Lu Xiaoxian didn't dare to say too much, so he hung up after a few perfunctory words.

The family has been appeased, which is considered a major event, and she will have a week to find a way to escape.Of course, it might not take a week for Lan Kaiser to find her.

Lu Xiaoxian had always believed that Lan Kaize would come to her, but this time she was wrong.

On the day Lan Kaize arrived in Qingzhou, A Lie called him and said that Lu Xiaoxian had been taken away by Lin Peizhi.

He asked why?
A Lie said that the things Lu Xiaoxian stole were found in the room, so he was kicked out.

Lan Kaiser said oh and hung up.After hanging up the phone, he was a little confused. He didn't understand why Ariel told him that a maid made a mistake and was kicked out.What does this have to do with him?

His memory was very confused, he sat blankly for a long time before he remembered who Lu Xiaoxian was?It was the woman with big clear eyes. He liked her, was obsessed with her, and treated her very well, but she was not satisfied, and actually stole something from her mother's room, so she was kicked out!

After thinking about it, he picked up his mobile phone and called Lin Peizhi, asking his mother not to embarrass Lu Xiaoxian too much, after all, she was the woman he liked.Lin Peizhi said that she didn't embarrass her, but that her hands and feet were dirty and she couldn't stay at home anymore, so she was sent out.

He knew that Lin Peizhi was always strict with servants who had dirty hands and feet, and it was good that he didn't embarrass Lu Xiaoxian. Lan Kaiser was quite satisfied with the result.

But the next day, Lan Kaili called him again, yelling on the other end of the phone, telling him to go back quickly, saying that Lu Xiaoxian was missing, and he didn't know where Lin Peizhi got him. up?

Lan Kaiser scolded him a few words, saying that it was normal for the servant who stole to be kicked out.What is Master Tangtang making such a fuss about?
Lan Kaili was shocked, and dropped the phone after swearing at him as an asshole.

He really didn't understand how could there be such an earth-shaking change after two days without home?
