Chapter 9: Stealing Watermelons
Fang Shiyi rolled up his sleeves and moved the pot stove stacked with stones to a place under the big tree. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's cooler, at least not that hot.
Later, she went to the village well to fetch water.
Don't look at her small size, she carried a bucket of water home, and she didn't shake it or spill it.
Brush the newly bought iron pot with well water, then put it on the stove hole, add some vegetable oil first, wait for the oil to be hot, no longer bubbling, add some cold water, cover the pot and boil the water.
The poor three babies don't even have lard, so they can only put some vegetable oil and sprinkle some green onions when they are out of the pot.
Green onion?
Where did the green onion come from!
Fang Shiyi crawled her hair irritably, there was not even a single hair in the vegetable garden, and there were still many things she had to plant!
The simple batter, the three sisters eat super fragrant, one by one sucks, and everything is fragrant when they are hungry.
"Sister, I simply got the mosquito net you bought, and I can use it, but there is a lack of bamboo, so I have to cut four bamboos and prop it up," Fang Qi wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.
This meal was the most enjoyable, she hadn't eaten so full in a long time.
I have food with my sister, and now my sister has become so powerful that she can hunt.
"What's so difficult about this, you wait," Fang Shiyi put down the dishes and chopsticks, and found the machete he bought, "Xiao Qi, you brush the bowl and take your little sister to sleep, there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon, I'll go to the back and cut some bamboo!" ”
Fang Shiyi was now full of strength, and he had a lot of drama in everything, as if he didn't feel tired at all.
Yesterday, she was still thinking about the expansion of the bamboo in the back garden, and this expansion is not something that can be done in a while.
It's better to cut a few bamboos from time to time, and by the way, the expansion of the bamboo forest will be done.
With this idea in mind, Fang Shiyi picked the places where the bamboo forest was relatively dense, and picked those places where the bamboo roots were too dense to cut down.
Dozens of bamboos of different thicknesses were chopped down, bundled with thatch, and dragged to the door of the house.
She glanced back at the courtyard of the hut where it connected to the village road.
If you want to make a fence gate, you have to make it out of bamboo, and if only you could get some wood back.
Well, go and chop it again in the evening, it's too hot now.
Mom, she's about to be tanned.
Fang Shiyi wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and quickly moved to shave off the forks of the bamboo with a machete.
Until the cut is smooth and smooth, and there are no protrusions.
Pull out four thin ones of about the same length and drag them into the hut.
Fang Shi had already put the little sister to sleep, and was rubbing mint leaves on her!
Seeing Fang Shiyi dragging the bamboo in, he immediately jumped out of bed, "Sister, I'll help you." ”
"Okay, you hold on to the other end, let's simply bolt the tent, this house is not warm in winter, before the winter, we must build another house, otherwise I am afraid that the winter will not be able to pass!"
"Building a house? Sister, I'm not wrong, you said you wanted to buy land before, and now you want to build a house, unless pie falls from the sky and hits your head, where will we get the money! Fang Shiyi listened to her words as a joke, and refused to believe a word.
Fang Shiyi knocked on her head, "I really have no ambition, money is earned, set a goal, there is hope for earning money, now there are still many months before the winter, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, you have to believe in your sister's ability!" ”
"I want to believe it, but I really don't see what you are capable of," Fang Qi was very faceless and hurt her.
"When the time comes, you will know, let's take it step by step, and strive to solve the problem of food and clothing within seven days, solve the problem of field wear within a month, build a new house within three months, and then ...... Go to Ben Xiaokang again! Fang Shiyi waved his fist, his ambition high.
Fang Shiyi laughed twice, as fake as he wanted, and muttered in a low voice, "That's how the cowhide blows!" ”
Four bamboo poles were erected, and a simple mosquito net was ready.
They took off their shoes and squeezed into the mosquito net.
Fang Qi got into behind her and quickly closed the mosquito net, so as not to take the opportunity to follow up with the mosquitoes who stole their mouths.
"Alas, it's good now, you can sleep peacefully, eat well, sleep well, it's a great thing in life!" Fang Shiyi put his hands under his neck, lay down on his back, and sighed.
"What's so beautiful, we didn't have the last meal, alas......" Fang Qi lay on the other end, so she didn't squeeze when she fell asleep, but because the wooden bed was too small, she simply put her legs on Fang Shiyi's stomach.
Fang Shiyi patted her calf, "Here it is again, I found that you little girl really has no backbone and ambition at all, I really doubt that you are my sister, it is too unlike me." ”
"Hmph, I still suspect that you are not my sister, you have been beaten in the head, and you have changed so much, if I hadn't been guarding, I really thought you had been transferred!"
Fang Qi is definitely a big ghost, a monkey spirit.
If it weren't for the soul crossing thing, it would be too weird, I'm afraid she would be able to guess a little bit.
Fang Shiyi coughed a few times uncomfortably, "Nonsense, this is called growing up, when you grow up to my age, you will definitely become smarter, sleep and sleep, there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon!" ”
Fang Qi pursed the corners of his mouth, disappreciating her words.
Except for her sister, she has never seen a similar situation.
Those who have become smart have not, but those who have become stupid have been.
For example, a person in a neighboring village is beaten with a stick and becomes a fool, and he laughs at everything, and when he sees a crow squatting on a tree, he can laugh at it for a long time.
The three sisters slept for a while, and this sleep was very heavy, and they slept for an hour.
By the time they woke up, it was almost evening.
Fang Shiyi covered his forehead with his hands, looked at the sun above his head, and estimated that the time should be around four o'clock in the afternoon.
In summer, the days are long, the nights are short, and it is not dark until seven or eight o'clock!
"Fang Qi, your family is watching the little sister, I'll go chop some wood and come back," Fang Shiyi stretched his waist and got up, put on his tattered clothes, and almost passed his arm through the rotten hole.
It's miserable to have no clothes.
Fang Qi felt that he couldn't help Sister A, and was a little anxious, "You wait, I'll put my little sister on my back and go with you to chop wood!" ”
In the past, Fang Qi dared to put his little sister in the neighbor's house and ask someone to help watch it.
Now she didn't dare.
What if someone sells my little sister!
The little sister just woke up, rubbed her eyes, and wanted to cry a little.
glanced at Fang Qi, and then turned his head to look at Fang Eleven.
The little arm stretched out to her, "Sister hug ......"
Fang Shiyi scratched his head, took her two little hands, and let her sit on the wooden bed, "Little thing, carry you on your back, how can Sister still work!" ”
Although the little sister is a little malnourished, her little face is pink and snow-white, her eyes are big and round, and she is very cute.
"Hug, Sister hug ......" The little sister stood on the bed and shook her legs vigorously, playing tricks with her.
After all, it's just a two-year-old baby, how can it be possible to expect her to be sensible.
"Fang Eleven! Are you not at home? Outside the door came the cry of a cow sea.
Fang Shiyi picked up the little sister and walked to the door, and saw Niu Dahai and the little stammerer standing on the side of the village road, "What are you calling me for?" If you have something to say, get out of here! ”
Niu Dahai smiled, his dark face, only two rows of teeth were still visible, "My father asked me to come over and see if there was any work for me to do for you." ”
Fang Shiyi's eyes rolled, free labor, don't be in vain, "Of course there is, you two get in, little stammer, you put the little sister on your back, Niu Dahai, you take the machete, I'm going to chop some wood and come back!" ”
"Okay!"
They staggered over.
The little stammered and clapped her hands at the little sister, "Little ...... Little sister is good, brother...... Brother hug! ”
The little sister pursed her mouth, twisted her head, and didn't look at him at all.
Fang Qi couldn't help but smile and walked over, "I'll hug it, when the autumn passes, the little sister will almost be able to walk, and she doesn't have to carry it everywhere." ”
"Forget it, I'll carry it first, and when I get to the place, you can carry it!" Fang Shiyi squatted down a little, then grabbed the little sister's arm with both hands, and lifted it up, and the little sister landed firmly on her back.
The little stammered and scratched her hair depressedly, it seems that the little sister doesn't like him!
Is he bad?
There are many miscellaneous woods scattered around the village, such as the pond in front of the gate, in addition to willows, there are many acorn trees and large pine trees.
Of course, the most common is also poplar.
Before, Fang Shiyi thought that the most poplar trees in Yaozhuang were in this place, but when he saw it now, he suddenly realized that the most was actually poplar trees.
Look at this piece of poplar trees, how spectacular.
Tree branches can be cut down to make fires for cooking, and tree trunks can be used to make furniture and repair houses.
Whether in modern or ancient times, the whole body of the tree is a treasure.
Niu Dahai stole an axe from home, stood in the forest, pointed to the trees, and said with a bit of pride in his tone, "Eryi, you say, how much do you want to cut, do you want to cut this piece?" ”
Fang Shiyi held back a smile and glanced at him, "Silly and short, what will you use after you cut it, besides, just rely on the appearance of the two of you thin monkeys, how much can you carry back?" ”
Niu Dahai smiled embarrassedly, "Then you say how much to cut." ”
Fang Shiyi looked at the density of the forest, "Let's do it, cut down a few pine trees, take them back to make a fire, cut down that poplar tree again, and then cut some branches, you two work hard, I will take care of you two at night, and give you stewed rabbit meat to eat, it's not terrifying, it really can't be real." ”
"Really...... Really? The little stammering was about to fall. Although he almost couldn't remember what rabbit meat tasted like.
Niu Dahai was also shocked, "Where did you get rabbit meat?" ”
"What I hunted, can't you? Hurry up and get to work," Fang Shiyi waved his machete and cut off the nearby branches with a few thuds.
Fang Qi carried the little sister on his back and dragged the branches behind her.
Gather all the branches you have cut down and drag them back together later.
"Great!" Niu Dahai spat in the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and went to cut down the tree with his axe.
Pine and poplar trees are easy to cut, but acorn trees are not easy to cut, and the wood is quite hard.
Fang Shiyi slashed for a while, and found that his physical strength could not keep up with it, and he still had to exercise.
In the future, you have to tie your feet wherever you go, and if you have trained your foot strength, you will be able to use it well.
The little stutterer was the thinnest, and after being busy for a while, he stood there fanning the wind with his hands, like a hot dog, and his tongue stuck out.
Fang Qi laughed at him, "Look at you, it's really useless, my sister and I are not tired, Niu Dahai is doing it quickly and well, but you, tired like this, I think you don't want to be a male baby, just be a female baby." ”
The little stammer's face was already tanned, and when she said this, her face turned even redder, "You...... You're talking nonsense, I'm taking a breath, it's ...... I'll be able to catch up with you soon! ”
Niu Dahai ignored them, he even took off his vest, and his back was covered with sweat.
I thought to myself, when I was done later, I must go to the pond to soak in the water and take a bath, it was so fucking hot.
Fang Shiyi was also hot, and she found that her little sister was sunburned, and she was immediately distressed, "Fang Qi, don't be busy, hurry up and go to rest under the tree, the little sister is too young to withstand this kind of sunburn." ”
She didn't say anything, Fang Qi forgot, "Oh, I forgot about my little sister." ”
Fang Qi put the branches in his hand away, and hurriedly found a big tree and put the little sister down.
One look at the little sister's face frightened her.
The little sister's face was about to be sunburned and peeled, and the whole villain was listless.
The little sister was frightened, "Sister, what should I do, will the little sister get sick?" ”
Her scream startled the other three.
Fang Shiyi said loudly: "Go and rest, you can't heat yourself up for this bit of firewood." ”
The little stammerer ran faster than anyone else, ran to the shade of the tree and lay on his back, not wanting to move.
Niu Dahai happened to chop the wood halfway, so he said to the other party: "You go to Liangliang first, I'll come soon." ”
Fang Shiyi was worried about the little sister, and he didn't talk to him, so he ran to the shade of the tree with a machete, and when she saw the little sister's face, she also panicked.
"Fang Qi, you wait here, I'll go to the river and get some water!"
Fang Shiyi pinned his machete to his waist and ran towards the place where there was a small stream.
In a hurry, she also forgot that she didn't bring a basin at all, so what did she use to hold water?
Not far from the grove, the stream is also small, probably from the groundwater flowing out of the mountains, and it is quite cool.
Fang Shiyi wanted to hold it in his hand, how could this be possible!
There was no way, she was in a hurry, took off her coat, first scrubbed it in the stream, then soaked it in the water, and ran back with the clothes that were still dripping.
"Go and wash by the stream, the water is so cold," Fang Shi said to the two boys as he ran.
"Wow, there's water to bathe, I'm going," the little stammerer jumped up and ran to the stream.
Niu Dahai slowed down a beat, as he saw Fang Shiyi's half-naked body.
His first feeling was, why did he also bask in the sun, Fang Shiyi's face was white, his arms were white, and even his body was so white.
Unlike him, except for the circle of the buttocks, which is white, everything else is black.
Fang Shiyi hadn't worn a belly pocket yet, she was only wearing a dress like a vest, which in her opinion was not a dew point.
But Niu Dahai doesn't think so.
After seeing all his body, he must marry Fang Shiyi.
But why didn't he want to think about it, Fang Shiyi was only nine years old, and the nine-year-old female doll didn't develop anything!
Fang Shiyi didn't care what he thought, she wrung out the water from her wet clothes, and Fang Qi slapped the water on her little sister's face so that she could be more comfortable.
"Why didn't I forget to bring some water, really," Fang Qi was annoyed.
Fang Shiyi put the rest of the water on Fang Qi's face, and then completely wrung out the water, "It's not easy to drink, I just saw a watermelon field over there, I'll steal watermelons for you!" ”
"Watermelon patch?" Fang Qi looked around, "Ah, are you talking about that piece?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"That's the second uncle's watermelon field, when he looks at the watermelon field, he takes a wolf dog with him at any time, if someone dares to steal it, he will let the dog bite it, Fang Youcai is super ruthless," Fang Qi grabbed her sleeve and didn't let her go.
Eating watermelon is a small matter, but being bitten by a dog is a big thing.
Fang Shiyi pulled his sleeve out of her hand, "What are you afraid of a dog, my sister takes it with me, it's really encountered, is it biting me, or I cut it, it's not necessarily, you two wait, I'll come when I go, maybe I can eat dog meat!" ”
"Hey, Sister, don't go," Fang Qi shouted, the person was gone, and she could only be in a hurry.
I prayed in my heart, if I really meet, Sister Ah must run fast!
Fang Shiyi jumped over the stream and touched the edge of the watermelon field.
Lying on the edge of the field, he quietly poked his head out and glanced at the grass shed covered by the watermelon field.
A figure could be seen sleeping in the grass hut, and a big wolf dog was squatting in front of the grass hut and napping.
The dog's ears are erected high, and he always listens to the movements around him.
Fang Shiyi retracted his gaze and looked at the watermelons growing in the ground not far from her.
Gluttonous straight swallow spit.
The watermelon was only within reach of her hand, as long as she was careful not to alarm the big wolfdog.
After climbing two steps forward, Fang Shiyi drew his machete and quietly cut the watermelon stem.
Crackling, a slight cracking sound.
But this man is definitely greedy and not enough to swallow elephants.
When she got a watermelon, she thought that she should not steal another one, otherwise there would be enough for them to eat.
So, she took aim at the big one again, and crawled forward a little further.
When Fang Shiyi didn't notice, the big wolf dog suddenly raised his neck and looked over to this side.
Maybe Fang Shiyi's body was too small, and the big wolf dog didn't see it clearly, so he stood up and ran over to take a closer look.
Don't run now, wait when.
Fang Shiyi thrust a machete into his waist, jumped up and ran with a watermelon in one hand.
"Wow!" The barking of the big wolfdog is super scary.
Fang Youcai was woken up by the dog's barking, grabbed the flat pole and rushed out, "Fang Shiyi, you dare to steal my watermelon, rhubarb, go bite her!" ”
Rhubarb didn't need to be taught by him at all, his sensitive and vigorous body, like a bullet, rushed towards Fang Eleven.
Fang Shiyi cursed a dirty word, didn't think about anything at the moment, spread his hooves and ran!
