43 There is too much rain for a long drought
Mu Fushu walked into the courtyard irritably. The feeding time is equivalent to half past six in modern times, and the sun still stubbornly hangs in the west, refusing to set. The view from the yard is clear. The leaves of the lush flowers and trees are a little wilted, and they are weak to scream for a while and rest for a while. In the west, a large cloud of fire stained half of the sky red......
San Lang handed the bun to Mu Fushu and chuckled, "Why are you so angry?" ”
"You don't understand!" Mu Fushu sighed. She didn't know whether to hate her family or thank them. Although her arrival was because the Zeng family kid pushed down the original body, and she picked up a big leak because of the original body's life, if there was no Mu family best to force the eight-year-old child to go out to work, this would not have happened, but if there was no Mu family best to force the original body to go out to work, she would not have been pushed down by the Zeng family kid and let her pick up the big leak...... It is no longer clear which is right and which is wrong.
She was initially repulsed by coming to this era, but after a long time, she was glad that she had crossed over. She has a space artifact, her parents and relatives, San Lang Yang Weng, Nini who is frightened by the wind and thunder, and she has a field slave......
It seems that in this era she is more casual and happy, although she did not worry about food and clothing in her previous life, she has relatives but is equal to an orphan, this life was a little bitter at the beginning, but she has parents who love her brother and respect her best friend and teacher...... Today's Mu Fushu has completely integrated into this era, and even if he has the opportunity, he will never go back.
took the bun, Mu Fushu gnawed on it without a bite, as if he was talking to San Lang and seemed to be talking to himself: "My grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt and aunt are all unreasonable, if I am still with them, I don't know if there is still life." Daddy and Auntie care about filial piety, but I don't owe them, they treat me like that, where do I still want to live with them? If Daddy really brought them here, I'll live in your house!" ”
San Lang was funny and distressed about the eldest mother's stubbornness, and comforted her repeatedly: "If they come, we won't let them, this is our eldest mother's home, why do you want them to live?" Is it okay for Saburo and the eldest lady to kick them out together? ”
This era is still very harsh on filial piety, although there is no legislation, public opinion is still very powerful. If a junior is said to be unfilial by the elderly, the clan has the right to deal with it, or beat or kill, and the government will not care. San Lang can do this for Mu Fushu, even if she is comforting, she is also very moved. For a while, I felt that my IQ had dropped and my EQ had also declined, and I actually ran out without eating in anger, Lin must be very embarrassed, right? For the Mu family's best hatred and resentment, the Lin family is no less than himself.
Thinking of this, Mu Fushu stuffed the buns into his mouth, ran back to the dining hall and said to the Lin family, who didn't know how to eat: "Auntie, if Daddy picks them up, we will find them a few rooms to live in the old house." "Anyway, they can't come out of the moth, and they are no longer the little girl who is powerless, and no matter how bad it is, there is Nini!
The Lin family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they still insisted that they would not come, and at most they would pick up an uncle. Ah Zhu is young after all, and he has almost forgotten the shadow brought to him by his family, and he has no reaction to who is coming from Ah Niang and Ah Jie who they discussed, and reached out to grab the fourth bun......
After Mu Zhongjun left, the family couldn't lift their energy. The village chief set up a "lookout post" on the big tree at the entrance of the village. Every other hour, two young men went up to stand on guard. This is to prevent conscripts and soldiers from entering the village. I don't know if it was the help of Wen County, the soldiers of the King of Shu passed through the periphery of Linjia Village more than a dozen times, and they didn't stop once. This is also related to the geographical location of Linjia Village: the nearest village is more than ten miles away from here, and the people in the village do not go out, and no one thinks of this village for a while.
The village chief has made up his mind, and no one will be arranged to keep vigil at night. Mu Fushu still warned his family to be vigilant.
Maybe it's because I've experienced a lot in my previous life, and I always like to think about things in the worst. Mu Fushu also asked the house slaves to build a new tree house on the big tree opposite the lookout post, which was guarded by house slaves day and night, and at night he called Nini and Xiaoxin to come over often to take a look.
It's not that she doesn't believe in the people of Linjia Village, but the experience summary brought by the unclear death of her previous life: first, don't put your life in the hands of others, and second, strike first, and rather kill mistakes than let go! Doing good deeds and self-preservation aren't incompatible, aren't they?
In previous years, although the summer in Shudi was hot, September and October on weekdays were also the season when the autumn wind and yellow leaves fell all over the ground. However, this year, there was no autumn rain or cold, but the sun was high, and the temperature still hovered around 30 degrees. The sweet potatoes are almost ready for a bumper harvest again, and the people of Linjia Village and half of the people in Mengyang City are mixed: with these high-yield sweet potatoes, people will not starve to death, but will they still grow sweet potatoes next? Can this thing be planted in winter?
This time, the sweet potato seedlings sent by Mu Fushu are still very powerful, and the harvest will be bumper in more than three months. Wen County ordered to owe her 1.5 million catties, she didn't plan to ask for it, and she didn't have the courage to ask for it. Now Mengyang City is not the order of Wen County. Mu Zhongjun went to inquire secretly several times, and he didn't even dare to go to the county office.
It's just that she won't send out the next seeds, so let's use the seeds they planted themselves. Although the seeds may be worse and the maturity period will be longer, she can't manage that much. She is not a Virgin, she does not owe anyone in this era, it is her heart to be willing to help, and it is reasonable that she is not willing to help.
When Linjia Village harvested sweet potatoes, the village chief came to Mujia again. Because Mu Zhongjun had been gone for more than half a month, the Mu family was in a bad mood, and only San Lang came out to chat with the village chief for a while. The village chief originally planned to come and ask what to plant, but San Lang was puzzled: "We don't have any experience in farming, and the weather is dry like this, so you can't plant anything!" ”
"It's still a sweet potato to be comfortable!" The village chief tasted the benefits of sweet potatoes and slapped the board at once. Mu Zhongjun was not at home, and he stayed soon, once again expressing his gratitude to the Mu family for producing sweet potato seeds, and Xingxing went back.
Mu Fushu has been running a lot up the mountains lately, to be more precise, to the valleys. The seedlings are almost ready to be planted, and the temperature in the valley doesn't seem to have changed much, Mu Fushu feels that this may still be a valley with four seasons like spring, and it is used to grow rice. But when I think about it, people in this era are not just busy working to eat a full stomach, unlike modern people who not only have to eat well but also eat well, and tout what hormone-free and pesticide-free all day long...... When she got here, she wanted to get some pesticides, but she didn't have a place to find them!
At the end of September, just when the village chief was about to gather everyone to continue planting sweet potatoes, a sudden rainstorm immersed the entire Mengyang City in surprises.
The downpour fell in the middle of the night, accompanied by the sound of rolling thunder. Thunder in this season is very abnormal, and in the eyes of the ancients, it was a sign of disaster. So at first, everyone was very happy about the rain, but after the thunder hit in the middle of the night, they began to feel uneasy, especially after dawn, the people of Linjia Village found Cao, widows, and women (why are widows/women also banned, speechless...... The family's house was actually struck by lightning, because Cao, the widow, and the woman were dragged up the mountain by Nini and did not come back, and her daughter Li Dani was left in the house.
Li Dani has a big life, her house is a grass and wood structure, and the girder is only lame when it falls. The problem is that when the house was struck by lightning, Li Dani's family was not alone, and there was a well-known idler in the village, and he was seriously injured than her. Originally, she was divorced back to her parents' house, but now she is messing with men in the middle of the night, and she also attracts thunder, and it is really a god who punishes adultery/women, and the retribution is unpleasant!
Because the rain was still falling, the village chief temporarily locked Li Dani and Xianhan in the dark room of the ancestral hall. This is specially used to punish those who have committed wrongs in the village, and only half a bowl of water is given every day, and they are locked up for seven days, and if they live, they will forsake their previous sins, and if they die...... It's buried. The barbaric clan law was also beneficial, saving the county magistrate a lot of trouble.
Mu Fu couldn't care about Li Dani or Wang Dani's idle affairs, she was anxious about when the rain would stop. It had been raining for three days in a row, and the village chief had not had time to ask the villagers to plant the sweet potato seedlings, and the rice should be planted after the rain. But what about the rice in her valley? Just after planting seedlings, will they be washed away by heavy rain? Although the canal was dug at the beginning of the reclamation, I was afraid that such a heavy rain would not have time to drain it. The rain was so heavy that I couldn't go out, and the situation in the valley was not clear, which was really nerve-wracking.
No matter what, after a long drought and rain, everyone is still happy when it rains, even if there are still thunderstorms in the past few days. Mu Fushu doesn't matter, modern people have never seen anything, and thunder is normal in winter. It's just that the rain is not light at all, and some elderly people can see that something is wrong, and the village chief has already come to the door to ask the Mu family to send some strong labor to build a dam by the river.
The dams of this era were actually made of mud, and the rain was so heavy that the mud had just been reconciled and then diluted, and there was no way to build them. The problem is that the river is rising very fast, and the lowest part of the water is about to overflow.
Mu Zhongjun still hasn't come back, and only San Lang is the man in charge of the family. After working uselessly by the river for a long time, he came back in the rain and told him that the embankment could not be built, and the village chief was about to cry. She held her forehead and sighed: The brains of the ancients are straight and won't turn:
"Why don't you ask the village chief to weave some straw bags and fill them with stones?"
Saburo Daigo. Everyone can weave straw bags, and there are many stones at the foot of the mountain.
"I didn't think of that!" San Lang rubbed his mother's head excitedly, only to feel that his palms were itchy with his long hair as soft as satin, and he ran out with a red face.
Lin and Lao Lin sat in the house and looked at the white outside, the rain was amazing, and the sound of hitting the roof crackled, as if it hit people's hearts.
In the ten years of marriage, the Lin family has never been separated from Mu Zhongjun for such a long time, no matter how difficult and bitter it is, they have always been together. Now that there is no news for more than a month, she is not obvious on the surface, and her heart is more anxious than one day at a time, and she deeply regrets that she should not let him go back to Mujia Village.
