She looked at Xiao Zifeng, “This is quicklime, right?”

Now that water has been added, the quicklime in the porcelain plate has become hydrated lime.

Xiao Zifeng glanced at the white stuff in the large porcelain plate that was constantly boiling and emitted a series of steam. He nodded, “Well, this is indeed quicklime.”

He also learned when he was studying that quicklime would heat up and boil when exposed to water and eventually became hydrated lime. He didn’t expect that the kudzu root powder he brought would be quicklime. The quicklime looks very similar to kudzu root powder at first glance. The feels and tastes are also the same.

Hearing what he said, Tang Mingyue raised her hand and slapped him on the back. “Asshole! Why did you know that this is quicklime, and you lied to me that it was kudzu root powder? Are you kidding me?”

“I didn’t know this bag was quicklime before.”

“You don’t know? You bought this bag of quicklime. How come you don’t know? I think you just lied to me, bastard! Is it fun?” Tang Mingyue slapped him on the back again.

Is Xiao Zifeng playing with her right after entering the door? No wonder he was weird as soon as he walked in, it turned out to be intentional? Fortunately, he has become normal.

Xiao Zifeng had no way to refute because he did bring back this quicklime bag, but he couldn’t remember why he brought a bag of quicklime? Why did he buy this?

Seeing that he was silent, Tang Mingyue continued: “This is quicklime. It can’t be eaten directly like this. Do you want my life?”

He just said that he bought it for her breast enlargement. It turns out because he wants to kill her.

"

"

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it.” Xiao Zifeng can only apologize now. No matter what, he can’t get rid of the relationship.

Tang Mingyue raised her eyebrows, “Isn’t it on purpose? Could it be the ghost control your body?”

Xiao Zifeng lowered his head, “I just changed into a new environment. I didn’t sleep well last night, so my mind is a little bit unclear.”

Tang Mingyue thought for a while. It seemed that his behavior was different since he entered the door. No, it should be that his whole person has changed several times since he moved to this house. He even called her wife and Xifu.

Is there something evil in this house? Is it the real ghost? A ghost possessed him? Both Xiao Zifeng’s parents have passed away, and they leave the house to him. Wouldn’t it be his parent’s ghosts that live here?

Just thinking about it, Tang Mingyue feels all her hair stands up.

No, no, she is highly educated, and she believes ghosts and monsters don’t exist in the world at all. She tries to ease her heart. There are many houses in the countryside, and they still live here even after their relatives passed away. Moreover, this house is still new, and no one has lived before.

For the time being, she assumed that Xiao Zifeng didn’t sleep well last night since she doesn’t really have any clue what is happening right now.

“So you consider quicklime as kudzu powder?”

“I didn’t mean it, sorry!”

“Well, I will forgive you this time, but your apology is lacking sincerity.”

Where is his sincerity?

“Sorry!” Xiao Zifeng apologized again sincerely.

Tang Mingyue shook her head.

“Then what do you want?” Xiao Zifeng asked.

“Well…” Tang Mingyue smiled maliciously, reached out, and picked up the spoon to scoop the large porcelain plate of hydrated lime. She jokingly said: “Come on, you will be very sincere if you eat this kudzu root powder.”

Xiao Zifeng: “…”

Tang Mingyue scooped a bowl of hydrated lime and to hand it to him happily: “Come here, eat while it is hot, eat it while it is hot, you are welcome if it is not enough there is still a big bag on the table.”

As she said, she pointed her finger at the bag of quicklime on the table.

Xiao Zifeng’s face was black, and he turned his head to one side, “Don’t eat.”

Tang Mingyue felt very happy to tease him like this, and she even had fun. She took a spoonful of it and handed it in front of him, “Eat, eat, eat a little, clear the heat, remove the fire and build up your kidney, pure wild ‘kudzu root.’ ‘ Ordinary people don’t have a chance to eat it.”

Most people won’t eat it anyway.

Xiao Zifeng moved to the side, “Don’t want to eat; you can eat it yourself.”

“I have fed you personally. This is a good service, just a little bit.”

"

"

“No.”

“Eat it, since you have bought it, don’t waste it, it’s shameful to waste, it won’t hurt to taste a little bit, this is not poisonous. Even tofu is made with this.”

Xiao Zifeng looked at her, “If I eat, won’t you become a widow? I promised my grandpa I will take care of you for the rest of my life. I won’t stand aside and do nothing from fulfilling my promise.”

Bastard! Why was he so emotional all of a sudden. It made her embarrassed to tease him again.

Tang Mingyue put down the spoon and the bowl, “Okay, I’m just teasing you, let’s use this bag of quicklime to absorb moisture and prevent insects, but the amount seems to be a little bit small. The house is so big. This is definitely not enough. You still have to buy more.”

Xiao Zifeng nodded, “Well since you are so afraid of those bugs, let use this quicklime and put it in your room first. To test the effect, remember to close the windows and doors, or else the water vapor will get in, and it will be useless. ”

“Okay, I’ll take it now.” After speaking, Tang Mingyue took the bag of quicklime on the table to her room.

“Then I’ll take these bowls and wash them first.” Xiao Zifeng stood up and picked up the large porcelain bowl, took the content inside, and poured it out. He then took the bowls and spoons to the kitchen to wash.

When Tang Mingyue went downstairs, she heard a sudden “cracking” sound from the kitchen, similar to a porcelain bowl falling to the ground.

She hurried to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw the bowl shards all over the floor. It was Xiao Zifeng who broke the bowls just now. She asked, “What’s the matter? Are you okay?”

Xiao Zifeng shook his head, “I’m fine, but I accidentally slip the bowls just now. I have never washed the bowls before. I didn’t know if it would be so slippery with detergent, so I couldn’t grasp them and broke them all up.”

Tang Mingyue can understand this. Xiao Zifeng is an only child, and he has been pampered since childhood, and it is normal that he has not done any housework.

"

"

“Since it’s all broken, just forget it. It’s no big deal. We buy a few more later.”

Xiao Zifeng nodded, “Okay.”

“You go out first. I’ll clean up these bowl shards.” After speaking, Tang Mingyue knelt and began to clean up the shards on the ground.

“I will help clean it with you.” Xiao Zifeng also knelt to clean up with Tang Mingyue.

“No, you go out first. I can clean it up by myself.” Tang Mingyue carefully picked up the shards on the ground with her hands.

“I broke it. Let me clean it up with you.” Xiao Zifeng reached out to pick up the shards.

“Ah!” He yelled suddenly and quickly retracted his hand, “It hurts!”

A bowl shard scratched his right hand’s index finger, and blood flowed instantly.

Tang Mingyue looked at him, anxiously, “How is your hand? Is it scratched?”

Xiao Zifeng nodded with his mouth flat and wrinkled. He slowly shows the injured finger in front of Tang Mingyue, “Well, wife, my finger hurts. Look, it’s bleeding.”
