Chapter 378
"What are you doing?"

Lin Jinyu's voice came from behind.

Qingluo turned her head and saw that he was carrying a fishing rod and four or five fat crucian carp in his hands. The sun shone on his face, which seemed to be full of the atmosphere of human fireworks.

Lin Jinyu has always looked like a noble son of the iceberg. Although he looks charming, it makes people feel a little out of reach.

At this time, his appearance as a fisherman has become much more down-to-earth, and Qingluo can't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked again.

"It's nothing, you caught so many fish so quickly?"

Lin Jinyu smiled and said: "I used to play truant with Lan Yiyi and the others. When I was hungry, I would fish and feed them. Although I haven't done it for a long time, it doesn't seem too wasteful now. What are you digging these grass leaves for? Hei Zai may not like to eat unfamiliar grass."

Qing Luo smiled wryly: "This is not for Hei Zi."

She picked up a rhizome and showed it to him, "This, it's very similar to a crop I know, the roots that grow underground are edible."

Lin Jinyu took it and looked at it: "Is it similar to potatoes?"

"Yes, almost, but these are called sweet potatoes, and there are also those commonly known as sweet potatoes." Qing Luo unconsciously poked with a dagger, regretting, "But I searched and searched, but I couldn't find the fruit. Maybe I remembered it wrong. Forget it Alright, let's go back."

She stood up, patted the leaves and soil on her body, put away the dagger and prepared to leave.

"Okay." Lin Jinyu also slowly followed her, and asked casually, "Is the sweet potato you mentioned also a summer fruit?"

"Of course not..." Qing Luo suddenly paused, and turned her head slowly, staring at him without blinking.

Lin Jinyu looked down at herself, "Why are you looking at me like that, what's wrong?"

She stared at him: "what did you just say?"

"I said what's wrong?"

"No, no, the last sentence!"

"Oh, I asked you, do sweet potatoes also bear fruit in summer?"

"That's it!" Qingluo cheered, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, "You are so smart!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran back!

Lin Jinyu: "..."

He stared blankly at her back, slowly raised his hand, and touched the place where she kissed just now, and then, a smile began to spread on his face.

After a while, she came back happily with a vine in her hand.

"What did you think of?" He smiled slightly and looked down at her.

"I'm so stupid," she said with a smile, "I thought I had misidentified the variety when I didn't dig up the sweet potato. It was only when you reminded me that there are different varieties of sweet potatoes. This—"

Pointing to the leaf in her hand, she talked eloquently, "I went back and checked again. These are summer potatoes, and they are not yet ripe."

Lin Jinyu smiled, followed her words, and asked, "Aren't summer potatoes ripe in summer?"

"No, summer potatoes refer to sweet potatoes that are planted in summer and can only be harvested in autumn."

"You said you used the fruit as seeds for the potatoes yesterday, but this sweet potato didn't bear any fruit. What are you so happy about?"

Qingluo smiled and said: "Idiot, potatoes and sweet potatoes are different. Potatoes are grown with seeds, but sweet potatoes are grown with seedling cuttings. This is enough."

Her tone of scolding the idiot was also soft and waxy, Lin Jinyu felt itchy in her heart, raised her hand and rubbed her head, her tone was a little doting unconsciously: "Are you going to take it back to plant?"

She raised her face and smiled at him, "Yes, I've already made a mark. When I get back, I'll bring someone to dig the seedlings. I'm in a hurry. Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant, and they are the most suitable for planting in our place."

The area of ​​dry land in Pingyang County far exceeds that of paddy fields, and the main crops here are rice and corn.

And sweet potatoes don't pick the land, they can grow basically anywhere.

If the high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes can be popularized, it will definitely solve the food problem of many people in the future.

People depend on food, and food is related to people's livelihood. Even Her Majesty the Empress is worried about it day and night. If she can really grow it successfully, it will be a great event.

"I thought you were just playing the county magistrate before, but I didn't expect you to be very attentive."

Lin Jinyu knew her temperament, and originally planned to help her resign from this small county magistrate's post after a while.

To his surprise, the little girl was very serious.

When she discussed the idea of ​​helping the people increase food, she exuded unspeakable confidence and charm just like she did when she was treating people and practicing medicine.

This made Lin Jinyu a little fascinated.

"I'm doing this for myself, His Majesty said, maybe I'm going to chop off my head!"

Qing Luo sighed, "Let's go, Hei Zai and Lan Hao are still waiting for us to feed..."

Lin Jinyu stood still: "Did you forget one thing?"

Qingluo stopped, thought for a while, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"I caught a fish, shouldn't you reward me too?"

"Huh?" Qing Luo frowned and looked at him.

It's all right, guy.

Lin Jinyu approached her with a shattered face: "It's just the same as before."

Qing Luo froze for a moment, suddenly remembered her previous actions, her face blushed instantly.

She did it subconsciously when she was disappointed and then extremely happy.

If it were another person, she would probably do the same.

But it happened to be him...

damn it……

Qingluo was so embarrassed that she wished she could just become invisible.

Seeing that she almost cut off the sweet potato seedlings nervously, Lin Jinyu said amusedly, "Forget it, I will suffer a bit this time."

He lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips, like a dragonfly on the water, it passed by in a flash.

The sudden gentle touch on the lips made Qingluo stay where she was.

"Let's go, idiot." Lin Jinyu smiled, grabbed her hand, and walked slowly towards the cave.

Walking to a place not far from the cave, a burst of fierce and high-pitched hissing sound suddenly reached their ears.

"Is this Hei Zi's voice?"

"It's its voice, something has happened!" Lin Jinyu's face changed slightly, she grabbed Qing Luo's waist, tapped her feet, and quickly swept forward.

Qingluo was a little worried about his legs, she opened her mouth, then closed it again, silently grasping his lapel with both hands.

Lan Hao doesn't know martial arts, and Hei Zai was injured again.At this time, it is impossible for him to worry about his leg injury.

From far away, Qingluo saw a huge cobra with its head raised high, staring at Lan Hao covetously.

Hei Zai, on the other hand, stood by Lan Hao's side, lowered his head slightly, and made a long neighing sound at it, as if to warn him to leave.

When they saw the cobra clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.

Qingluo went in and out of the mountains and had seen many snakes, but this was the first time she saw such a huge cobra.

Moreover, cobras are highly poisonous, extremely fast, and have strong aggressiveness. When ordinary people encounter them, the chance of surviving them is almost very slim.
