Chapter 385: Human or ghost
"You don't have to be afraid. I'm not afraid of this thing in my hand, so why should you be afraid?"
Ye Xinran held up her cell phone and calmed the man down first.
Fan Qingzhou felt that his apprentice's wife was right, but several soldiers were thinking in their hearts: "You are a fairy, of course you are not afraid of ghosts, but we are not the same!
But then I thought, with fairies around, what does a ghost matter?
Only then did a few people become bolder.
Seeing that everyone had gathered together again, Ye Xinran said to them: "This thing is not a box for locking people, and of course it is not a box for locking ghosts.
It just has a knack for taking down what other people say and repeating it back.”
“Who repeated it then? Wasn’t it the people inside who repeated it?” the black-faced man wondered.
"We're not the only ones who can do this!" Ye Xinran raised her voice.
Several people lowered their heads and whispered, "Isn't that still a ghost?"
"Fine!"
Ye Xinran knew that with their current understanding, there was no way to explain the machine, data, and recording to them, so she could only settle for the next best thing: "If you insist that there is a ghost in there, then we will treat him as a ghost.
But this is a good ghost, it will only repay kindness and will not hurt anyone."
"That's good, that's good!"
They patted their chests and felt relieved for the time being.
After explaining this, Ye Xinran continued, "This records the entire process of corn from planting to harvesting. You can read it first."
As she spoke, she pressed the play button again, and the male voice with a radio accent sounded again along with the music.
At the beginning, they would be attracted by the people who occasionally appeared inside, forcing Ye Xinran to pause and explain to them why the people inside wore such short clothes and why they cut their hair so short.
"These are the customs in my hometown. There, cutting hair does not hurt the relationship with parents, and wearing short-sleeved clothes is not wrong.
Everyone is used to it and no one is surprised.”
“It seems like they have an easy life there.”
Zhao Yun sighed.
Freedom, without so many constraints, is the life he longs for.
After watching it for a while, everyone had completely ignored these irrelevant things and was completely attracted by the corn inside.
In the video, the cornfield is endless, green and lush, with no end in sight.
In autumn, these green corn stalks begin to turn yellow, and the huge corn cobs stand upright on the stalks, swaying in the wind.
Men and women dressed in strange clothes all came to the fields and broke the corn cobs off the stalks one by one.
Then a huge monster with smoking butt came into the field.
Everyone threw corn onto this huge creature, and it carried them back home.
The video ends here.
The people and the huge monsters in everyone's small boxes disappeared, and more than a dozen people finally came to their senses.
"This thing looks like it has a very high yield! By the way, Miss Lu, what does your master call this food?"
After looking for a long time, Zhao Yun finally thought of asking the name.
"Call corn!"
Ye Xinran answered.
"corn!
As precious as jade, what a good name, what a good name! "
Zhao Yun praised him highly.
"After reading this, do you feel like you have learned something?"
Ye Xinran asked with concern.
She was afraid that some people would be so shocked that they would forget the original purpose of watching the video.
"I learned it, I learned it!"
Several people nodded, "This, corn, the yield is really high!"
They looked at each other and nodded together, "Look at how big the ear of corn is. There can be two ears on one plant. It's several times bigger than the high-quality grain and millet we grow!"
"If every household can grow corn, then we won't have to go hungry in the future!"
"By then, our northern border will not only be self-sufficient in food, but may even be able to support other places."
"Yes, did you see that just now? They planted so much corn! If we could plant that much, we wouldn't have to worry about food at all."
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Ye Xinran had to remind them, "What you see is the best state of corn growth. In fact, if the fertilizer is not enough, it will not grow that big."
Fearing that there would be too much of a gap between them in the future, Ye Xinran took precautions in advance.
Unexpectedly, the few people were not affected at all. The black-faced man stretched out his hand and gestured, "We don't need it to grow this big. If it grows to half its size, it will be much more than what we grow sorghum!"
"Yes, we will also add some more fertilizer so that it can grow better."
"Yeah." Ye Xinran nodded and put away her phone.
"Um," Zhao Yun stared at his phone eagerly, "Miss Lu, can we take a look at this a few more times?
Read it several times and remember what it says.
I'm afraid some small details may have been missed."
Seeing that the grain yield is so high, Zhao Yun must treat it with more care.
He mustered up the courage to ask this question, thinking that Ye Xinran would refuse, but Ye Xinran said generously: "Okay, I'll teach you how to use it, you can take it back and take a look at it slowly."
"Really? Really?"
Zhao Yun couldn't believe it.
Can I keep watching this kind of thing?
"But, will the ghost inside become disobedient after leaving you?"
The soldiers were a little worried.
Ghosts and monsters are always servile in front of immortals, but when they come in front of ordinary people like them, they are likely to act arrogantly.
"Don't worry, I've already told him everything. From now on, he will treat you the same as me when he sees you. He can't disobey you. Is that okay?"
"Forget it."
Zhao Yun thought about it and was still a little scared. "We can study in this courtyard. Miss Lu and Master don't need to accompany us. Do you think this is okay?"
"That's fine, as long as you don't mind the strong sun outside."
After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she picked up her phone and told Zhao Yun the method she would use.
"There's a triangle on it. When it's finished, if you want to watch it again, just click on the triangle again and it will start from the beginning."
"If I click it, will it listen to me?"
When Zhao Yun asked this question, his tone was cautious but also a little excited.
"Of course, I told you that he would see you just as he would see me."
Ye Xinran didn't know how she could say such words without any expression.
"If it doesn't obey, call me immediately and I will take care of it!"
"Good good!"
Zhao Yun quickly agreed.
After Ye Xinran finished explaining, she looked at Fan Qingzhou who was stretching his neck beside her and asked, "Master, seeing you like this, do you want to give it a try too?"
Fan Qingzhou rubbed his hands and said, "Hey, how do you know? I really want to try it."
"Then you try it first."
Ye Xinran said as she handed the phone to Fan Qingzhou.
He was eager to try it just now, but when the phone was actually handed to him, Fan Qingzhou hesitated again.
Are you really okay?
He looked up at Ye Xinran with inquiring eyes.
Ye Xinran nodded affirmatively.
Fan Qingzhou then stretched out his hand tremblingly, and seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, he finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and pressed it down.
"Hello everyone, this is Agriculture Online, ..."
The male voice in the broadcasting tone sounded again.
Fan Qingzhou patted his chest and finally let go of his worries.
"Master is indeed a master, he is courageous!"
Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up in praise.
Fan Qingzhou also smiled triumphantly.
Ye Xinran paused again and said to Zhao Yun, "Try it!"
With Fan Qingzhou as an example, Zhao Yun was not so scared. He reached out and pressed the play button, and the program that had been paused just now continued broadcasting.
"The Marquis is worthy of being the Marquis, so awesome!"
"That's right, our county marquis has never been scared on the battlefield!"
Fan Qingzhou saw that Zhao Yun's hands didn't shake at all when he ordered, and felt that he was outdone. He said unconvincedly: "Then my order just now was not good, I want to try again!"
Ye Xinran stopped him and pointed at the sun in the sky: "Master, look at the time, today's medicinal bath hasn't been done yet!"
Fan Qingzhou looked up and saw that the sun had already risen to the sky. He said aggrievedly, "Well, I won't argue with them for a while!"
Ding Qiao had already prepared the water for the medicinal bath.
When Ye Xinran gave her instructions, she immediately brought the water to the bathroom.
Ye Xinran put the herbs in place, Ding Qiao adjusted the water temperature, and the two of them went out and waited outside for Fan Qingzhou to soak for an hour.
Fan Qingzhou's body was covered with old injuries.
One thing that makes him better than Xiao Huaian is that after he was injured, someone promptly helped him rebuild his tendons and veins so that he can walk and live normally.
The bad thing was that his tendons and veins were misconnected, causing the internal Qi to be unable to flow normally, and he became an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.
The purpose of Ye Xinran's medicinal bath is to improve his body's endurance, help the normal flow of qi and blood in the body, and make adequate preparations for the next operation.
……
The wind in early spring is still a little cool.
But with the midday sun, it gives people an exceptionally comfortable feeling.
While waiting, Ye Xinran and Ding Qiao each took a book, sat in the corridor, and read while eating melon seeds.
As she read, Ye Xinran felt that the words in front of her eyes became increasingly blurred, and she gradually fell into a light sleep.
As soon as she fell asleep, Ye Xinran saw Xiao Huaian, whom she hadn't seen for several days.
Xiao Huaian went to the Xixiashan camp and took the soldiers to rebuild the camp. He was so busy that he didn't come back for a long time.
In the dream, Xiao Huaian looked tired and was sitting on a haystack eating cold steamed buns.
Seeing Ye Xinran, he immediately stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and asked happily: "Why are you here?"
"I came to see if you were tired."
Ye Xinran felt that the voice came out even though she didn't open her mouth.
"I'm not tired. Things here are almost done, and I want to finish them quickly so I can go back to see you sooner."
"For so many years, you didn't think about revenge for your father, but immersed yourself in love. Have you forgotten how your father died?"
Ye Xinran didn't know why such words came out of her mouth.
She looked at Xiao Huaian with wide eyes and opened her mouth to explain, but no sound came out.
Xiao Huaian's expression suddenly changed.
"Who are you!"
He took a step forward, grabbed Ye Xinran's shoulders fiercely, looked into her eyes, and asked coldly word by word: "Who are you?"
Ye Xinran felt a chill running from her back to her forehead.
She struggled hard to tell Xiao Huaian about her situation, but found that no matter how hard she tried, the body did not move, as if it was frozen.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
An anxious voice sounded in her ears, and Ye Xinran was suddenly awakened from her nightmare.
She opened her eyes and touched her forehead with her hand. She felt as if she had just been pulled out of the water, cold and sticky.
Zhao Yun didn't notice the strangeness on Ye Xinran's face. When he saw her wake up, he immediately raised his phone to her and said, "Miss Lu, the ghost you raised seems to have gotten angry and ran away. It's gone!"
"What the hell?"
Ye Xinran had not yet fully awakened from the dream and was looking at Zhao Yun in a daze.
Zhao Yun was also stunned by the question and pointed at his phone, "Didn't you say that the ghost inside listens to you in everything?"
Hearing this, Ye Xinran finally came back to her senses.
She reached out for the phone, pressed a button, and found no response.
I know there's no power.
"I didn't run. Maybe I was tired and needed to rest."
She stood up and stretched her stiff neck a little.
The small quilt covering her body slid off as she moved.
It should be that Ding Qiao saw her fall asleep and came to cover her with it.
"So it's time to rest! Ghosts need rest too!"
Zhao Yun patted his chest and said, "I feel relieved now."
Ye Xinran put away the quilt and asked casually, "How do you think it is? Have you learned it?"
"I've learned, I've learned!"
Zhao Yun was very grateful, but still said, "It would be even better if we could let it tell us more."
"Okay, Ye Xinran agrees."
"Once it has rested, I will ask it to tell you something useful."
"Thank you so much!"
Zhao Yun bowed to Ye Xinran.
In terms of status, Zhao Yun is now a county marquis personally appointed by the imperial court, which makes him much higher than Ye Xinran, the daughter of a marquis who has no imperial edict.
But Zhao Yun respected her and was grateful to her.
If Beidi County wants to grow and develop in the future, it will have to rely on large-scale corn cultivation.
He did this gift willingly.
"Please don't be polite, Marquis Zhao."
Ye Xinran returned the greeting, "These things are just a piece of cake for me.
Every citizen has a responsibility to make the country prosperous. Although I am a woman, I also want to do something useful within my ability. "
Ye Xinran's words sounded righteous.
Zhao Yun felt ashamed after hearing this.
"Miss Lu's mind is more open than that of most men. This really makes Zhao Yun ashamed."
"For this kind of thing, there is no need to distinguish between men and women, as long as there is a heart."
After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly, indicating that she was a little tired.
Zhao Yun understood what was happening and immediately took his men and said goodbye.
"Then I'll come and bother Miss Lu another day."
"Ok!"
Ye Xinran nodded and watched them leave.
Then he sat down on the chair and recalled the dream he had just had.
