Depressed little landlord

The experiment is very simple, just go out and get a basin of water in, and then pour down the broken powder or particles in the bowl, the amount is right or small, and the two of you are not sure, anyway, just put it as you like in the experiment, and then wait quietly.

The effect was indeed remarkable. After waiting for a while, the water in the basin began to change slowly. There was a thin layer of ice on the surface, but it was not completely frozen. It was obvious that they did not put enough water, but this made the two of them very nervous. happy.

At the same time, he raised his eyes to look at each other, and saw the unconcealable joy in both eyes. Lin Xuan was so happy that he almost closed his eyes with a smile. Xu Yang stood up straight, put his big hand on his cheek, and couldn't control the smile on his face: "very good!"

"Hey, those people will be even crazier now."

Carefully helping him wipe off the dust on his fingers, Xu Yang said lightly: "It's okay, as long as it can make you earn more money, it doesn't matter how crazy you are, don't worry about it, I will follow Xiang Qing Talk, tell him to be careful."

"Yeah." Lin Xuan leaned on him lazily. Anyway, there was no one else here, and he didn't sleep well these two nights. He got up early this morning to do things again. Tired, I couldn't help but yawned, and said lazily: "Okay, then I'll let you talk about this, but it will be more conspicuous and you should be more careful."

Things that appear out of season are in small places like them. Although there should be ice in the capital or those of high-ranking officials, it must be very eye-catching to have ice in summer in small places.

Xu Yang didn't answer, but gently supported him and asked, "Sleepy? Why don't you go in and sleep for a while?"

Lin Xuan shook his head, "No, I won't sleep until noon, I still have something to deal with."

"That's fine." Xu Yang didn't force him, "If you can't hold on, go to rest."

"Well, by the way, I have filled the pond with water, you can find some time to catch some fish and raise them."

Xu Yang thought about it and agreed. It just so happens that there is still some free time for the time being. If he goes out again, he will be busy harvesting grain, and then he will be busy planting the next season. It is estimated that he will not be free for a month or two...

"I'm looking for an opportunity to fish these two days. Think about which one you want to raise."

"Okay." Lin Xuan answered while putting away the remaining saltpeter, and took out the saltpeter in the water basin to dry. Anyway, the sun is now so dry, it should be easy to evaporate.

Holding the water basin, he was about to put it on a higher place, where his younger brother or chickens and ducks would not be allowed to fly. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind. Lin Xuan was stunned. Standing there in deep thought.

Xu Yang didn't stop him from doing things at first, but when he saw him standing in the yard facing the sun without moving, he thought something happened and strode out.

"Xiaoxuan?"

I didn't want the other party to still not move and didn't answer, so I became even more worried. I quickly went to the front of the other party and grabbed the pot with a big hand, and put it on the shelf in the yard (I don't know when I did it), and pinched him with the other hand. His chin lifted.

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Xuan came back to his senses, and found that Xu Yang was standing in front of him and looked at him worriedly. With his current posture, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Xu Yang was almost laughed at by him, but he was relieved when he saw the person regaining his composure. He couldn't help saying that he led the person into the house, "I still want to ask you what's wrong. You suddenly stopped moving when you stood there. Don't be afraid." sunburned."

"Ah—I'm sorry, thinking about the problem... I forgot." Lin Xuan smiled embarrassedly, and then followed him with an apologetic smile: "I just suddenly thought of a solution to our family's problem, and I was a little anxious , so I forgot to look at the place.”

Xu Yang glanced at him, unmoved, and said in a deep voice, "I know everyone is very anxious about this matter, but I still don't want anything to happen to you."

"...Well, don't worry, I will take care not to let myself have any problems in the future." Lin Xuan hurriedly promised, then looked at Xu Yang and rolled his eyes, and asked with a flattering smile: "Why don't you accompany me later?" Shall we go to the small lake?"

Xu Yang frowned, looking at his blushed face after standing under the sun for a while, he didn't agree very much, but seeing his expectant eyes again, he couldn't bear to refuse, finally he could only sigh helplessly and agree, He knew that if he didn't agree, [-]% of this person would grind until he agreed or simply run away by himself.

Rather than letting him run to find out what happened by himself, it is better for him to follow along, so at least he can feel at ease, because people are right under his nose.

In order to prove his idea, Lin Xuan got Xu Yang's consent, and he couldn't wait to set off to the small lake immediately. Xu Yang had no choice but to bring some tools as he asked, and went out together.

But before going out, Lin Xuan still told the housekeeper Hua, and asked him to take care of the water basin in the yard, and be careful not to let the family members or other animals spill it. I felt distressed, but I knew they were going out to do business, so I didn't stop them, I just told them to pay more attention.

Just as Lin Xuan followed Xu Yang out of the courtyard, he thought of something busy and stopped him again: "You haven't told Xiang Qing about the stone yet, have you?"

"No."

"Then do you want someone to talk to him, and then get some ice out and sell it earlier? Selling cold drinks at this time will definitely explode."

Xu Yang turned his head, first pulled the people beside him and walked side by side, and then replied: "There is no rush, but I will let someone notify him, let him come to the house and talk about it."

Lin Xuan thought for a while and nodded, "It's fine, it's good to discuss it, lest he is not prepared at all, and then he will have something to say to the outside world."

"Let's go, we can settle the matter early and we can live in peace in the future."

Lin Xuan glanced at him sideways, snorted softly, and muttered: "Didn't you not want me to come out just now? Why are you urging me again now?"

Xu Yang squeezed his palm funnyly, apologizing: "Yes, yes, I was wrong just now, don't be angry. The time is not too much, although the county magistrate wants to help us, but we can't just sit there Now, sitting and waiting is not what I like, and it would be best to find a way to solve it as soon as possible." As he spoke, he looked down at Lin Xuan, who was half a head shorter than himself, with a warm smile on his lips, and said softly: "Our little one Xuan is really the best."

Lin Xuan felt a rush of hot air from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, turned his gaze to the surroundings, and muttered: "Tsk! The sun is even hotter today, it's not even noon yet, it's so hot, let's go, let's watch it sooner Come back early when you're done, let's get some ice to eat."

Xu Yang looked at the tips of his red ears, and a pleasant smile climbed up the corner of his lips again, and then quickly spread to the bottom of his eyes. He also deliberately ignored the one he was still holding in his hand, and continued walking forward with him.

There are a few Doudings playing under the tree at the entrance of the village, and their family's Douding is also among them. It is estimated that they came here to play after eating melons.As long as he doesn't run too far, Lin Xuan won't hold back his younger brother, but when he saw the child playing with his face flushed and sweating, he told him not to be playful and go back later, so he was sweating all over Dry clothes, not only uncomfortable, but also easy to catch a cold.

As for the other children, he also instructed them in the same way, and the little ones agreed in a hurry.

"You can't climb trees indiscriminately, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Before leaving, he still didn't forget the last warning, and waited for the little ones to agree, and then he and Xu Yang continued towards their destination.Lin Xun wanted to follow, but thought that the weather was too hot, and the brothers were not going to play now, so they endured it and said nothing. It was just that when the brothers were far away and could not see, the children would not be interested in playing. A little gloomily said that they were going home, the other children were reluctant to give up, but they thought of what Lin Xuan said just now, so they had to watch him leave.

It's just that as soon as someone proposed to go back, everyone's interest weakened a lot after a while, and they all said they didn't want to play, and then they broke up and ran home.

***

Lin House, the study room in the main house.

"Snapped--"

Accompanied by the sound of something shattering, followed by a forbearance of anger—"Trash!"

Even though the shards from the shattered teacup scratched their feet sharply, the person opposite still didn't dare to move, and stood tremblingly, waiting for the master's anger to pass.

Lin Er was full of anger, staring at the opposite person as if he was about to swallow him, "Isn't he just a brat, why don't you keep breaking it over and over again? You rascals, look at that kid now Not to mention, even people... what ability does that kid have? If you can't do this little thing well, what's the use of me keeping you?"

The young man and Shopkeeper Wang immediately turned pale, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, pleading in trembling voices: "Master, I'm incompetent, please give me another chance..."

"Give you a chance?" Lin Er sneered, grabbed the book on the table and threw it at the two of them fiercely, "I will give you a chance, who will give me a chance? Fuck - you are limited to report everything about Lin Yi within three days. Find me all the letters, especially the deeds—" Looking at the front, Lin Er gritted his teeth, "I have to get everything back for me."

"Yes! Thank you, master, for being lenient... Thank you! Thank you!" The two were overjoyed and kowtowed their heads repeatedly.

Lin Er was annoyed when he saw it, so he asked people to back down angrily, so as not to get angry when he looked at him.He also knew that it wasn't him who was really afraid, but the people behind them, and he was afraid that he would really be bad for their family, and because he had given them a lot of benefits before...

Looking at the backs of them almost fleeing, Lin Er couldn't help but sneered again. They and him, who doesn't know who, but the sovereignty is in his hands. If he can only do bad things again, he can consider Sold their contracts and exchanged for more obedient and capable servants.

Anyway, there are many capable and obedient slaves in this world who want to eat and survive.

Not wanting to stay in the study any longer, Lin Er simply went back to the room, and saw his wife was embroidering under the window, and watched for a while before stepping in.

Mrs. Lin Er raised her head to see him when she heard the movement, she was a little surprised: "Master?" Then she hurriedly put down the embroidery hoop, got up and greeted him, helped Lin Er take off his outer shirt, then soaked the veil and came over to wipe it for him, her mouth was soft. He asked in a low voice, "Are you done with your work today? Do you want to take a break? Or tell the kitchen to make some food?"

Lin Er waved his hands wearily, sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned back on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and said, "Where's Cai Er?"

Mrs. Lin went over to rub his shoulders considerately, and replied softly after hearing the words: "In his courtyard, this society is probably making a fuss about eating melons again."

Lin Er opened his eyes and frowned with thick brows, and was about to get angry again. He didn't want to be held down by a slender hand on the center of his brows, pressing gently as if he wanted to smooth the wrinkles there, and his wife's faint voice sounded in his ears, and he could only suppress his anger immediately .

"Master, if you are too tired, take a good rest for a while. You haven't had a good rest recently. It seems that you have lost a lot of weight."

Lin Er raised his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the worry on his wife's face, the anger in his heart was extinguished at once, he raised his hand to hold her hand, pinched the center of his brows, and looked even more tired.

"It made you worry. I will go to Cai'er and tell him not to disturb your rest. You also worry a lot about this family. Fortunately, Xiang'er promised a good family, so you can rest assured. Patting her hand, Lin Er smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I will be able to rest and accompany you soon, I'm sorry, I didn't let you live a few good days with me, and I will definitely let you live a good life in the future." Good day, you won't regret choosing me in the first place."

The Second Madam Lin smiled softly, suppressed the unease in her heart, and leaned into the other's arms slightly. This is the husband he chose. No matter what she will face later, she will never regret the choice she made at the beginning.

"Master, promise me, you must be fine." Don't do anything that makes the master dangerous, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the master and Cai'er can be together as a family like this in the future, so that I can I am content.

"En." As long as you get rid of that kid, everything will be as you wish.

It's just strange, what can a young master who only knows how to eat, drink and play have?Or is it the way it used to be for the world to see?It's the boy's true face that he doesn't get in like this now?Otherwise, with his timid temperament in the past, it would be impossible for him to remain so calm after hearing the news, and he never came to ask for money for emergency, and even the boy from the Xiang family didn't see any news to borrow from him.

Or... does that kid Xu Yang really have a way to solve the problem of salt?

One question after another came up in Lin Er's mind, causing his head to throb, but he didn't move, just continued to lean on the head of the bed with his wife around him.The couple hugged each other quietly, enjoying this rare noon break, but the words in their hearts were not conveyed to each other in unison.

***

Because it is about 100 meters away from the paddy fields that the Lin family is currently planting, Lin Xuan has been busy in the fields before, but he has never really visited the lake, let alone inspected it carefully.

There are also some sand and stones by the small lake, which extends out facing their field, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountain on the left is connected to Shuangqi Mountain.The small lake is really not big, and you can see the opposite mountain and trees at a glance, and you can see the reflection of the lake more clearly from here.

And the lake looks green and peaceful.There are occasional ripples in the farther part of the line of sight, and I don't know what caused it. Anyway, according to Lin Xuan's knowledge, if the lake is really salty enough to produce salt, then there should be very few living things in it. Bar?

Standing by the lake and looking at the calm lake, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, it's true that the books are used up when they are used up!

Touch your chin, do you want to find a way to ask 'dream friend' to help?

Xu Yang walked back and forth for a little while, saw him shaking his head helplessly in a daze again, while checking and paying attention to this side, he just hoped that he would not do anything out of the ordinary.

Lin Xuan waited and watched for a while, then took a small step forward cautiously, probably because of the heavy rain before and the water receded, now the sand and rocks by the lake are a bit soft, not as hard as those behind, so Lin Xuan is more careful.The lake doesn't look too big, but who knows how deep it is?Besides, how buoyant is it?

Wouldn't it be dangerous if you accidentally slipped down and couldn't get up?

I swiped my right hand twice in the water, thinking it was clean, then carefully scooped up a little water, first stuck out my tongue and licked it—well, it was a bit salty.

Nodding secretly, shaking off the water in his hands, he just squatted down and looked at the lake, thinking.

It tasted salty, but according to his memory, the first time his friends got paid for the manuscript and invited them to go to the seaside to play, it was still in the inland sea. The seawater tasted by accident was much saltier than this.

"Hey! Could it be that this is the reason Dad and the others didn't produce any salt?" Lin Xuan frowned, a little worried.

Since his father still had such a big fanfare from the government at that time, he should have prepared manpower, so he also knows how to make salt, right?Is it really because the saltiness is not enough?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's excited mood when he came here before was like a bubble. Under the hot sand and sunlight, he disappeared without a trace with a puff. .

Xu Yang, who came back after roughly walking around, saw him nestling there like a small discarded animal. He seemed to see the tail hanging down behind him... hurriedly blinked, and then saw nothing, and sure enough It was so hot that I was hallucinating.

"What's wrong?" But he still couldn't see him like this, so he asked aloud.

Hearing the question, Lin Xuan raised his head melancholy, and said pitifully, "The ideal is perfect, but the reality is skinny... Sure enough, I still take it for granted."

Xu Yang frowned, and put his big hand directly on his forehead, Lin Xuan didn't move, and said in the same tone: "I don't have a fever. Xu Yang, what if our land is confiscated? Will you dislike me? ?”

Without saying a word, Xu Yang bent down and pulled the man up to lean against him, and said flatly: "You are tired." That's why he started talking nonsense.

Lin Xuan let him move, and now he really felt powerless. This reality really hit him, and he was full of confidence at first, but...

Xu Yang stroked his hair, just like he usually strokes Lin Xun, because he has been paying attention here, so he has seen every move of Lin Xuan, so he knows why he is doing this now. "Blame me, if I told you earlier... still watching? Do you want me to take you to the mountain over there?"

"..."

"The fruit trees you asked to plant before had medlars. I took a look at them just now and they seemed to be growing well. Do you want to go and have a look?" The big hands continued to rub.

Lin Xuan bumped his head against the opponent's chest, and muffled: "...Yes."

Xu Yang smiled silently, and finally let go of the top of his head with his big hand, and helped to smooth his messy hair. Holding his hand, he wanted to take him to the mountain on the right.

Lin Xuan also cleared up his mood, disillusionment will be disillusionment, now that he has saltpeter in his hand, is he afraid that he won't be able to get the thousand taels of silver?With silver, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy salt?

At the worst, he just doesn't want these ten acres of land. If he keeps the money, is he afraid that there won't be any other ten acres of land?

There are not many other things here, but there is a lot of land. As long as you have money, it is more than ten acres?Aren't hundreds of thousands of acres all what he thinks about?Why bother about this small slope lake?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan completely looked away, and flew towards the lake with the stone that he had unconsciously held in his hand before, watching the stone bounce three or four times on the water before sinking, feeling depressed It seemed that they were thrown away along with the thrown stones. He raised his head and showed a bright smile to Xu Yang, clapping his hands and wanting to hold the other's hand back.

Ok?

Out of the corner of the eye, he was attracted by what was on his palm.

Lifting his hand to look closely, it was gray and thin like sand, but if it was stained because he grabbed that stone, then the sand on his hand should be the same color, right?

Suddenly, looking at the palm raised in front of him, Lin Xuan suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked it...

Xu Yang, who had been paying attention to him all the time, was quick-eyed, and quickly slapped his hand away, and then picked up his face with one hand, but obviously didn't have time...

"Bah, bah, bah——" Lin Xuan poohed three times in a row, and when his face was lifted up, he had a sour face, with his tongue sticking out, which made Xu Yang frown.

"Why are you not vigilant at all? Dare to lick anything? Do you think you are a beast?" Xu Yang was really angry, and looked at him with cold eyes.

Lin Xuan shivered, realizing that the person in front of him was angry, but he was really uncomfortable at the moment, his tongue was so astringent, but he was more nervous than Xu Yang.Regardless of whether his tongue was dirty or his hands were still dirty, he grabbed Xu Yang's arm at once, and hurriedly apologized with his eyebrows lowered.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I broke my promise again, Xu Yang, don't be angry... bah bah... uh, sorry! I can't hold back... I don't dare in the future, if you do this again, why don't you punish me? I promise not to resist. "

As he talked, he carefully looked at the other person's face. Xu Yang still had no good looks, but his eyes were no longer cold. He was just angry and didn't really want to do anything. If something happens to him, if he disappears and changes himself as before... then what should he do?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help being afraid, and he couldn't help himself to get angry at the other party. In fact, how could he be willing?

Now that I heard Lin Xuan's assurance, I couldn't help but feel moved.

"Sure?"

Lin Xuan nodded again and again, "Really, really!"

Xu Yang remained silent for a while, then suddenly patted the most fleshy part of his body with a big hand, and said coldly: "This time, I will warn you first, and if there is another time, it will not be more than this number of times and with more force. "

"..."

Lin Xuan blushed, and didn't dare to move his hands back, because the culprit not only slapped him, but also rubbed him as if to comfort him.

Rogue!

The author has something to say: It’s almost there, but the right hand is so tired_(:_」∠)_
