Chapter 009: Scourge
With the acumen of a martial arts practitioner, Mo Qi sensed that danger was approaching, and jumped up quickly to avoid disaster with a move, narrowly avoiding a gourd scoop, but the gourd scoop was filled with water, and finally he was splashed.
Mo Qi shouted angrily at the little brother of the Zhang family, "Could it be that this gourd scoop is your way of expressing your gratitude?" ”
Mo Qi picked up the gourd scoop, only slightly forced, and the gourd scoop became a fragment in his hand.
The little brother of the Zhang family was only ten years old, and he was so frightened by Mo Qi that he cried aggrievedly with a 'wow', and the farmers and the little brother of the Zhang family all gathered when they heard the voice. Uncle Mo and Dongzi also stepped forward nervously.
Uncle Mo was also dissatisfied when he saw Mo Qi's gray hemp trouser legs wet, "How can this be." ”
The little brother of the Zhang family lay in his mother's arms, crying so much that he couldn't stop crying, and said with a sob, "That big brother, pulled out all the vegetable seedlings in our family." ”
Uncle Mo was startled, looked down, and found that Mo Qizhen had pulled out all the melon seedlings of the Zhang family.
Uncle Mo secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and then looked back at his own land, hey, obediently, sure enough, his vegetable seedlings were also pulled out.
The fields were bare, and the ridges were littered with broken seedlings. Seeing this picture, Uncle Mo's heart was dripping blood, and he suddenly remembered what Yaoyao said yesterday, 'Mo Qi is not diligent in his limbs and grains, and he can't do anything......
The surrounding farmers pointed at Mo Qi, the men of the Zhang family were working in Lianzhou City, and the fields were all run by the mother and son, which was not easy. The Zhang family's mother and son looked at Mo Qi like an enemy.
"Hmph, vulgar, uneducated." Mo Qi was aggrieved in his heart, but his expression was still cold, and he put on a condescending posture, too lazy to look at the people around him, and walked stiffly to rest under the big locust tree at the edge of the field, took out the herbal tea and cakes prepared by Ye Tingyao for them, and ate them elegantly.
"Uncle Mo, what's the matter with this relative of your family." Aunt Zhang hugged her son and settled the account on Uncle Mo.
"I'm really sorry, Mo Qi just arrived in the village, he doesn't understand anything, he really didn't mean it." Uncle Mo himself is still distressed, the Zhang family has lost a small part, but his family has lost a large piece.
Uncle Mo sighed, this was so bitter that he swallowed it, so he bowed his head and apologized to the Zhang family, and promised to take out the seeds and plant the land, and give the Zhang family a sack of corn cobs during the summer harvest.
Although Aunt Zhang was angry, she was a neighbor of the village who had a good relationship after all, glared at Mo Qi from a distance, and said to Uncle Mo, "Look at your land has also been pulled bald, I know you didn't mean it." Anyway, you are busy, and we will plant the seeds ourselves. You know, the most taboo in our farmer is that the new seedlings have been pulled out. The little brother you brought here today looks like a boy who doesn't know how to do farm work, look at him, and look at him to find a shady place to hide...... Either teach it well, or don't bring it out later. ”
"Yes, yes." Uncle Mo took care of the loss, and all nodded in response, and the surrounding villagers saw that something was going on, and kindly persuaded Uncle Mo and Aunt Zhang to say a few words, and they also dispersed.
Uncle Mo took Dongzi and sighed while cleaning up the uprooted young seedlings in one place. Let's replant it tomorrow, it should still be in time for the season, otherwise it will only be able to bear wilted melons.
Mo Qi was full of food and drink, and when he saw the crowd disperse, he walked slowly to Uncle Mo, "Uncle Mo, I will remove all the weeds, what else do you want me to do." ”
Uncle Mo wiped his sweat, "Qi'er, you may be able to tell what is a seedling and what is a weed?" ”
"Well, there's a difference?" Mo Qi looked at the bare black soil under his feet and disagreed.
Uncle Mo sweated and did not shed tears to pray for Mo a lesson in farm common sense.
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, even if Mo Qi assured him that he understood, Uncle Mo was not worried that he would weed again, Mo Qi was too bored and slept in the shade until lunchtime.
I have to rush to work today, so Uncle Mo and the others didn't go home for dinner. At noon, Aunt Mo came with a small gourd to deliver food, Mo Qi saw that Mo Yao did not follow, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want Mo Yao to see his poor side, otherwise he would be ridiculed for a long time.
Mo Dongzi took the basket and looked back, "Didn't Yaoyao and Xiaoyue come?" ”
Aunt Mo said happily, "Those two girls, they have a big harvest today, they have caught five big fat fish, Yaoyao will be picking up those fish, ready to dry them." ”
"Yaoyao is so capable." Although he was a little disappointed not to see anyone, Mo Dongzi was still happy for Ye Tingyao.
Hearing Dongzi praise Mo Yao's ability, Mo Qi's face darkened three points again.
Aunt Mo saw that Mo Qi was sullen and was about to ask, but Uncle Mo quietly pulled Aunt Mo aside and said what happened in the morning, the corners of Aunt Mo's mouth twitched for a long time, and finally silently went home with the empty basket.
Aunt Mo wanted to keep her mouth shut and save face for Mo Qi, but the little gourd was smart and clever, and she learned her tongue very quickly.
Ye Tingyao shook his head, feeling sorry for the vegetable seedlings that were ruined by Mo Qi.
In the evening, Mo Qi went home and found that Ye Tingyao looked at him strangely, but unexpectedly did not laugh at him.
For several days in a row, Ye Tingyao and Xiaoyue went to Anquxi to fish, and Mo Qi and Uncle Mo went to the grange to do farm work......
Xu is really caught by the upstream and downstream fishermen, the big fish in the Anqu River are getting fewer and fewer day by day, and the fry and small fish leaves are not caught, even if they are caught, they will be released.
There are fewer fatty fish in Anqu Creek, and Mo Qi, who followed Uncle Mo to the grange, gradually became lonely and depressed.
On this day, Ye Tingyao didn't go fishing, yesterday she and Xiaoyue were busy all morning, and they were only able to catch a white-edged fish, but fortunately, the harvest was acceptable a few days ago, and this morning Ye Tingyao was going to take care of the dried fish in front of the house.
Ye Tingyao was rubbing a half-dried fish with bamboo strips dipped in salt, and turned his head to see Mo Qi, who was leaning against the door frame with a depressed face, angry and funny, and couldn't help but say two cool words, "Qi'er, why didn't Uncle Mo and Brother Dongzi take you to the village today, now you can know those flowers and plants in the field?" ”
Xiao Yue pushed Ye Tingyao and whispered, "Sister Yao, don't make fun of Brother Mo Qi, Brother Mo Qi has always blamed himself, and he feels uncomfortable." ”
"Okay, don't say it, it's just for you to spoil." Ye Tingyao grimaced at Xiao Yue.
The corners of Mo Qi's mouth drooped, and he turned his back unhappily and stopped looking at her.
After a few days in the field, Mo Qi's complexion was much darker, and his demonic face was a little more masculine in the past.
Ye Tingyao slandered in his heart, and his face was mature, but he was still stupid inside.
It turned out that in addition to Mo Qi pulling the vegetable seedlings by mistake on the first day, there were many things that happened next that made Uncle Mo unbearable.
Let Mo Qi water the vegetables to drown, dig a pit to bury the seeds, but cut the potatoes that other families have shaped......
Uncle Mo didn't dare to take Mo Qi to the village again, not to mention that he felt sorry for those crops that died early, the key was that as soon as Mo Qi arrived at the edge of the field, the simple and kind villagers of the village became vigilant, in addition to entertaining him with idiot eyes, they also hated to use a shovel to fly him a mile away, so as not to harm anyone's family......
