Ye Fu quickly put away his smile and looked at Qi Yuan innocently, "I'm not smiling."
Qi Yuan stared at her with accusing eyes, "You laughed."
"Okay, let's get to work quickly. I'll go check on the water storage situation in the water cellar first."
Qi Yuan suddenly stepped forward and pulled Ye Fu aside. He looked around and found no one else. He whispered into Ye Fu's ear and asked, "Did you hide the other animals?"
Ye Fu raised his eyebrows, "Where are you hiding?"
"Before, Brother Song said that there is a cellar for livestock on the farm. It's okay for him to deceive other people. Can he deceive me? Do I still know if there is an extra cellar on the farm? Please tell me quickly. Are you hiding livestock?
If you go to the mountains, you must be capable. After all, Jiang Run can control beasts."
Qi Yuan's imagination is quite rich. When Ye Fugang wanted to say something, Jiang Run and Officer Song came over from the side.
"What's wrong?" Officer Song asked.
"Qi Yuan suspected that I had hidden other livestock." After Ye Fu finished speaking, Officer Song looked back in fright, and then glared at Qi Yuan in warning.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Ye Fu hide it?"
Qi Yuan snorted, "I was just guessing. Looking at the looks of the three of you, it seems that you really hid it and didn't tell me. Am I so untrustworthy?"
Seeing that he was really sad, Ye Fu coughed and said, "Qi Yuan."
"What's your name?"
"Brother Song, tell him. Jiang Run and I will go take a look at the water cellar."
"Tell him?" Officer Song was hesitant, not because he doubted Qi Yuan's character, but because he was prone to swearing, and he was so happy that he had all the secrets in his heart written on his face, which was really unreliable.
Qi Yuan was angered by Officer Song's hesitation. His hands were trembling and he looked at Officer Song in disbelief, "Brother Song, you actually hesitated."
Officer Song scratched his hair awkwardly, "I just don't want to put too much pressure on you."
Ye Fu waved his hand, "Tell him."
After Ye Fu took Jiang Run away, Officer Song looked around again, but still felt unsafe. He dragged Qi Yuan to an open space and lowered his voice and said, "Swear, you will never tell anyone, otherwise you will be reincarnated in the next life."
Become a pig."
Qi Yuan's expression was a little hard to explain, "I just want to know if Ye Fu is hiding. Is it necessary to swear such a poisonous oath?"
Officer Song said nothing with a cold face. Qi Yuan raised his right hand and made a swearing gesture, "I swear, whatever Brother Song says to me next will rot in my stomach. If I say it, I will become a different person in my next life."
I have become a pig, but I still have to clear my name, and I will never tell anyone."
Officer Song was satisfied.
"It's not Ye Fuzang, it's Jiang Run."
Qi Yuan nodded, "It's really hidden. Fortunately, I almost died of anger just now. You were just watching my joke. Where are you hiding? Do you want to feed me food, grass and water? Is it safe? No one will find out, right?"
Officer Song shook his head, "It's absolutely safe, as long as you know the livestock is still there."
"No, you haven't said where you are hiding it yet."
Officer Song poked Qi Yuan on the forehead, "Do you think Jiang Run is an ordinary person?"
"That's definitely not the case. He is just a pervert, a bandit, and a pretty boy. He made Ye Fu dizzy just by looking at him."
Officer Song took a deep breath, "Are you mentally retarded?"
"Why are you still scolding me?"
"Okay, let me tell you, Jiang Run is not an ordinary person."
Qi Yuan frowned as he digested this sentence. He knew that Officer Song would not joke with him. He touched his chin and thought about it. Suddenly an idea flashed, "You mean, Jiang Run has a special ability to kill those animals."
Hidden?"
Officer Song nodded.
"Thinking about it this way, many things that bother me have answers. No, they are all men. Why is Jiang Run so different? Now I am even more angry."
"Okay, just take your time to get angry and I'm leaving."
When Officer Song left, Qi Yuan suddenly laughed, and then he quickly covered his face
He opened his mouth and looked around again. When he saw no one, he laughed again.
Ye Fu and Jiang Run came to the water cellar. They had filled it up and let it dry for two days. Seeing that the water level did not drop, it meant that the water cellar was not leaking. Ye Fu asked Jiang Run to cover it with a heavy board.
This kind of water cellar is still very common in the northwest region. In some places where there is a long-term drought, rainwater will be stored.
"Let's go check out the situation in the pond." The two of them wore straw hats and went to the water room again. Looking at the falling water level, Ye Fu's expression did not change.
"It is estimated that in another month, the groundwater will be completely dry."
"Owner, where should I put the processed pork?" At this time, Li Cheng came over to find Ye Fu. He was soaked in sweat and his clothes were soaked.
"Make it all into jerky. Fresh meat is not easy to preserve, and bacon will cause bugs. So making it into jerky is the safest way."
Li Cheng nodded, "That's true. Should the takin also be made into jerky?"
"Except for the pig head, internal organs and intestines, the rest will be made into dried meat. Later, Aunt Cui and Shu Yun will stuff the blood sausage and separate the internal organs. Let's make it into a dish tonight."
The two returned to the wooden house. Jiang Run cleaned the ashes from the fire pit, and Ye Fu put away the thick quilts and mats.
"It's time to sleep on the mat again."
"It might be a little cold at night, so I'll leave a blanket to cover your belly." Jiang Run said, reaching out to rub Ye Fu's hair.
Ye Fu pursed his lips and smiled, "Then you can't compete with me."
"I won't rob you," Jiang Run vowed.
Wenwen picked a few small pumpkins from the greenhouse. She can now cook, and she is responsible for all three meals a day during this period.
"Sister Xiaoye, did you bring these pumpkin seeds from the safe zone?"
Ye Fu nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"There's a pumpkin that's so big, it's probably heavier than me. With so many pumpkins, we won't go hungry."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "Can you stand eating pumpkin every day?"
"I can bear it, pumpkin is delicious, and it can also be made into pumpkin cakes and pumpkin soup."
While the two were chatting, Officer Song came back with a piece of pig lung and a pork belly in his hand. Wenwen immediately took it, "Dad, do you want to eat this tonight?"
"Well, can you handle it?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaoye has taught me a lot, and my cooking skills are already good enough."
Wenwen took things into the kitchen and started cooking. Officer Song went out again. Ye Fu got a basin of water and sprinkled some on the wooden board.
"Wenwen, it's not too hot these days. Tomorrow you go to the stable to pick a horse, give it a name, and get familiar with it first. You can learn to ride a horse in a few days."
Wenwen was a little surprised, "Can I have my own pony? Can I also ride a horse by myself?"
"Okay, you are an adult now, of course you can ride a horse, don't forget to practice archery."
"Okay, I will definitely study hard."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "Come on."
