Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 10
Being alone in the mountains with Zhao Lei also made Li Qian feel a little uncomfortable.But right now the girl has no place to hide at all, she hastily turned around shyly not to look at Zhao Lei, and used an ostrich way to avoid the current predicament.

Li Qian's actions also made Zhao Lei understand that she is no longer the little girl she was back then, and she should pay attention to the distance between her and her, so as not to spread the news and someone will chew their tongues.That's not a big deal to Zhao Lei, but it's a big deal to the little girl.

"Haha, why hasn't the rain stopped!" Seeing that Li Qian looked a little uncomfortable, Zhao Lei purposely laughed, looking for something to say to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

However, God seemed to be against the two of them on purpose. The rain didn't stop but became heavier and heavier. In the end, hailstones the size of thumbs fell together with raindrops the size of beans.

Seeing that the weather was getting worse, Zhao Lei frowned and muttered to himself: "What the hell is the weather? With such a big hailstorm, it seems that we have to wait a little longer before going down the mountain."

Zhao Lei's words were naturally addressed to Li Qian next to him, but after a long time he didn't hear the girl's answer, he couldn't help turning his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.Li Qian's face was frighteningly pale, even her lips were bloodless, she hugged her shoulders with both hands, her whole body trembling.

This made Zhao Lei very worried, and quickly frowned and asked Li Qian, "What's wrong with you?"

"Cold... so cold!" Li Qian's voice began to tremble, she wanted to lean towards Zhao Lei, but she was too embarrassed to get too close to him.

Zhao Lei suddenly realized that Li Qian was frozen.After the rain, the temperature on the mountain dropped rapidly, and now there is hail, the temperature is even lower.It happened that the two of them were drenched all over, so it was naturally colder.

After taking Xianlu, Zhao Lei's physique has greatly improved, but he doesn't feel anything.Of course Li Qian couldn't compare with Zhao Lei, so it's not surprising that she was frozen like this.

Zhao Lei touched Li Qian's hand, only to feel that her little hand was still trembling from the cold, it seemed that it was indeed very cold.Seeing that the heavy rain and hail didn't intend to stop for a while, if the girl was allowed to continue like this, she would definitely fall ill.

Zhao Lei's first thought was to build a fire to keep Li Qian warm. However, in order to prevent forest fires, it is strictly forbidden to light fires on the mountain.Moreover, the firewood was already drenched by the heavy rain, even if Zhao Lei dared to break the law for Li Qian, he would not be able to start a fire.

The helpless Zhao Lei could only comfort Li Qian: "Thunderstorms in summer don't last long, just hold on for a while, and it will be warm when the sun comes out."

However, they didn't know what was wrong with the weather. The two waited for a while, but the heavy rain still had no intention of stopping.Seeing that Li Qian was trembling more and more, her lips were starting to turn blue, Zhao Lei knew she couldn't go on like this.

After a little hesitation, Zhao Lei took off his shirt and whispered to Li Qian, "I'm sorry, I really have no other choice!"

Before Li Qian could answer, Zhao Lei put the shirt on Li Qian's body, then held her little hand, trying to bring warmth to the girl with his body temperature.

Li Qian's body was shivering non-stop, and it was frighteningly cold. Zhao Lei held her hand as if holding a large block of ice, and shivered involuntarily.

This also made Zhao Lei understand that Li Qian's situation was really bad, so he gritted his teeth and moved towards her as much as possible, so that the distance between the two of them could be closer and more heat could be transferred to the girl.

Li Qian was really not froze, and even her thinking was a little dull.It wasn't until I slowly felt the warmth that I slowly figured out what happened.A blush immediately appeared on the girl's pale cheeks, and she subconsciously moved to the side, so as to keep a little distance from Zhao Lei.

"Don't move around!" Zhao Lei reminded Li Qian in a deep voice: "Your body temperature is too low. If you continue like this, you will definitely be seriously ill!"

If it's just a serious illness, Li Qian doesn't care too much.But if the girl does collapse, there is no one to take care of her ailing father.So Li Qian twisted her body uncomfortably, but obediently stayed in Zhao Lei's arms.

With the help of Zhao Lei, Li Qian finally warmed up gradually.Her body was no longer trembling, and her lips were slowly turning red.Thinking of being so close to a young man, Li Qian only felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, and she knew it must be very red without looking.

What Li Qian didn't know was that Zhao Lei was not at peace now.After the girl gradually warmed up, he no longer felt that he was surrounded by ice cubes.

Everyone wore very little in the summer, and now that the two of them had to get so close, they naturally felt a little embarrassed, and Li Qian blushed even more.

Fortunately, at this time, the heavy rain finally gradually stopped, and finally stopped completely.Although the road on the mountain is still a bit difficult to walk, it must be much safer than when it rained before.

Zhao Lei sighed with relief: "It finally stopped, we will be able to go down the mountain soon!"

Li Qian nodded slightly, and said softly, "Brother Zhao Lei, you... can you let go of my hand?"

Zhao Lei quickly let go of the girl's little hand, rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "I didn't pay attention for a while, I really didn't have a better way just now, you and me, don't be angry!"

Li Qian's head almost fell to her chest, her cheeks were as red as a ripe tomato, and she said in an almost inaudible voice, "No...it's nothing, I, I'm not angry either!"

The girl's shy appearance made Zhao Lei's heart flutter, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Now that the rain has stopped, let's go back to the village quickly, so that your father won't worry."

The shy Li Qian nodded slightly, and left the shelter from the rain to get her own bamboo basket.However, when she saw the situation in the bamboo basket, she couldn't help but let out a low cry of disappointment.

The shelter from the rain was too small, so the two bamboo baskets were placed outside.The wild vegetables in the bamboo baskets were soaked by the rain. In such a hot weather, the soaked wild vegetables would soon rot. Li Qian's half-day hard work was all in vain.On the contrary, the Polygonum multiflorum harvested by Zhao Lei is not a big problem, even if this kind of tuber touches water, there is no big problem.

Seeing that Li Qian's eyes were red with sadness, Zhao Lei couldn't help shaking his head secretly, and couldn't help but pat the girl on the head to comfort her like before: "It's a terrible weather today, it's good to be able to go home safely, don't be sad. These two days are free, I will accompany you up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and make up for today's loss!"

Li Qian's mood improved a bit, she forced a smile to Zhao Lei, and went down the mountain with him.

Although the rain had stopped, the mountain road was still muddy.In order to prevent Li Qian from being injured, Zhao Lei went down the mountain with two bamboo baskets on his back.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Qian stopped and whispered to Zhao Lei, "Brother Zhao Lei, just now... thank you so much."

Looking at the girl's blushing pretty face, Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing, rubbed her head habitually and said, "Don't be polite to me, go home quickly, don't make your father anxious!"

"En!" Li Qian nodded and hurried back.

Zhao Lei was also in a hurry to check the situation of the vegetable field. After all, it was raining and hail just now. If the vegetable seedlings were damaged, the loss would be great.

When Zhao Lei came near the vegetable field, he found that Hu Qiang had come earlier than him, so he quickly stepped up to meet him and said, "Uncle Hu, why are you here?"

"It was raining and hail just now. I'm not worried. Come and have a look." Hu Qiang said with a smile, "You're lucky. Not a lot of hail fell into your vegetable field, and there was almost no loss!"

Seeing that Hu Qiang cared about him so much, Zhao Lei couldn't help but smiled movedly: "Thank you, Uncle Hu."

"What are you talking about!" Hu Qiang pretended to be unhappy and said, "Our two families have been neighbors for decades. I watched you grow up, and this is what it should be!"

Speaking of this, Hu Qiang glanced at the already green vegetable field, and couldn't help sighing: "It's only been a few days, and the vegetable seedlings have grown so tall. The new varieties cultivated by high technology are different!"

It is natural for Hu Qiang to think so, and Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Of course, are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Hu Qiang nodded with a smile, and went home with confidence.

Since the vegetable field was fine, Zhao Lei also went home with peace of mind and took a good bath.But when he came out of the bathroom, he couldn't help but smile wryly.Just now Zhao Lei came back in a hurry to check the vegetable field, and brought back Li Qian's bamboo basket, so it seemed that he could only send it back to her.

But when Zhao Lei came to Li Qian's house with a bamboo basket, he heard a young man's voice inside, talking to Li Qian about the benefits of going to university in the city.
