Chapter 68: The Covenant
68
The direct consequence of drinking a bowl of chicken soup is that Yang Liu feels that her burps are all a smell of chicken soup, Nima, the aftertaste is endless, it turns out that this is what it means.
The next morning, there was a burst of rain, which frightened the Li family's faces to change, but fortunately, the rain stopped after a short time. However, if it rains before the wheat is not put into the warehouse, it is really worrying, and after eating, I will bring my farming tools and go to harvest the wheat together. Although she was ordered to stay at home to rest, but after sleeping for an afternoon and another night, Yang Liu couldn't stay on the kang for a long time, and everyone in the family was busy, and she was not confined, why was she embarrassed to be idle? Heat stroke is not a disease, just relieve her breath, she got up and brushed the bowl, and carried another bucket of pig food to feed. Shovel some firewood ash from the stove and throw it on the chicken manure, the tip of the shovel is embedded in the mud, and the chicken manure is connected to the mud in the yard to get up, frowning and muttering: "Stinky chicken stupid chicken, if you 'set up a stall' at will next time, you will not be slaughtered to sacrifice to my five internal organs temple." She still can't forget the feeling of getting up in the middle of the night and stepping on chicken manure in the thatched house, and since then she has been angry with these flat-haired animals at home who can't speak but poop very casually, and secretly said that if she raises chickens in the future, she will raise some "house chickens".
Cleaned up the chicken manure in the yard, and shoveled the spiky grass by the way. After cleaning up this, it was still early for cooking, she took out a small hoe and pickaxe from the pile of debris, put on gloves and began to turn over the small vegetable garden next to her.
The last time He gave orders, he had already vacated the out-of-season vegetable seedlings, but he has been busy these days, and no one has free up his hands to turn the ground. There are also half-ridged fields with cucumbers and green beans on shelves, and the leaves are tinged with yellow spots, which are also out of season. Yang Liu found a bamboo basket and plucked the yellowed leaves as pigweed, otherwise it would only fertilize the field if it fell into the ground.
After picking the yellow leaves, Yang Liu used a small hoe and pickaxe to turn over the ground, which if He saw it, he would say that she was engaged in children's work. The big hoe is used to plough the ground, and the hoe goes down to bring up a large piece, and the old crop can hoe a point to the ground in a day. The small hoe is just used to plant seedlings, it is a miniature version of the big hoe, that is, loosening the soil, knocking the larger clods thinner, so that the dung can be watered thoroughly. Of course, Yang Liu also knew this, but she just took the big hoe in her hand and put it back, and the things like shovels and hoes in the village were really beaten in order to be used for a long time, and they were very heavy in her hands. If she really used this hoe, she really wouldn't be able to lift two hoes.
As soon as she dug a few hoes, Yang Liu turned out a few earthworms, one of which was cut off by her, and she was writhing her body into the mud. Yang Liu screamed "ah", and the hoe in her hand was thrown out, everyone had something to fear, and these soft animals were her weakness, which made her feel creepy every time.
At this time, out of nowhere, the iron pillar with leaves on its head rushed out, "Huh", then squatted down and picked up an intact earthworm and said: "It's the earth dragon, my mother said that this doesn't eat seedling roots, and it doesn't bite, it's a good insect, don't be afraid, Aunt Five, don't be afraid." As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and let the earthworm entangle.
Yang Liu shrank back, blocked his eyes with one hand, as if wiping sweat, and said, "You pick this out and feed it to the chickens." ”
"Huh?" Tie Zhu took the earthworm in front of him and looked at it, and said with some surprise: "The earth dragon eats mud, can the chicken eat it?" ”
Yang Liu didn't answer positively, and encouraged: "Don't you know if you try?" ”
Tiezhu nodded, and threw the letter in front of a yellow-haired hen. The earthworm fell to the ground and writhed, and the hen was first frightened by the sudden arrival of the iron pillar and flapped her wings and ran away, and then paced back and pecked tentatively, probably because it was delicious, and pecked a few more times in succession. On the way, a few hens joined in to fight, and the yellow-haired hen immediately took the earthworm in her beak, flapped her wings and ran away, finding a place she thought was safe before putting it down to peck at ease.
After witnessing this qiē, the iron pillar was a little excited and threw several other earthworms into the flock, causing a large group of chickens to scramble, and chicken feathers flew everywhere. Tie Zhu felt that this scene was very interesting, and urged with some excitement: "Fifth aunt, dig again, dig again, and see if there is anything left." ”
Without the earthworm in front of him, Yang Liu was also much bolder, and he couldn't show his timidity in front of the child, so he picked up the hoe and continued to dig. But then the luck was not so good, and I didn't dig several pieces in a row, which disappointed the iron pillar I had been looking forward to: "Why is it not?" ”
"It's not raised, how can there be so many?" Yang Liu smiled, then thought of something, pinched his chin and said, "But it's not impossible." "She has raised cacti in her life, and the breeding of earth dragons is still accidentally turned over the book, remember a rough idea, it's always okay to try.
Tie Zhu became interested, squatted and took two steps forward: "What way?" Shall we go dig on the slopes? ”
Yang Liu was still thinking about how much more she could dig to see if she could raise it on a large scale, but she didn't expect Tiezhu to say this, she asked, "Is there a lot of it on the slope?" ”
Tie Zhu nodded: "Hmm." A few days ago, I and the two dogs went to look over the sweet potatoes to see if they were ripe, but as soon as we turned over the turf, we saw several ground dragons, and I didn't know how to feed the chickens at that time."
In his previous life, Yang Liu also had experience in shaving sweet potatoes in his childhood, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart when he heard Tie Zhu's statement. May 5 sweet potatoes cooked, June 6 sweet potatoes ripe, now the lunar calendar is less than May, how can sweet potatoes be so early.
In her previous life and in this life, Yang Liu was almost confused, what to do, she seems to be getting more and more used to Yang Liu's identity.
"Fifth aunt, we have to keep it secret, and we can't tell others about how the earth dragon can feed the chickens." Tie Zhu said a little sternly: "Especially the two dogs." ”
This kid still has a sense of opportunity, is it a piece of business material? Yang Liu wondered if he could start cultivating the iron pillar.
Seeing that Yang Liu didn't say anything after saying so many things, Tie Zhu leaned close to Yang Liu's ear and shouted: "Fifth aunt! ”
"Ahh ”
Yang Liu was supposed to scare Tiezhu, but the slap didn't make much effort, and the thunder and rain fell on Tiezhu, and the dust on his pants was patted off. The iron pillar didn't hurt, but he smiled and rubbed the willow with his body, and said with hope in his eyes: "Fifth aunt, when are we going to dig the earth dragon?" "These days, even the child is confined to the house by adults, and he hasn't gone out to play for a long time.
There are priorities, and it is impossible for Yang Liu to take the iron pillar to the slope at this time, after all, there is also a big slip at home, so he said: "When the farm is busy, we will go to the slope to see." ”
"By the way, you are not allowed to sneak over, or I won't take you there." Thinking of Tie Zhu's running temperament, Yang Liu added, "Fifth aunt doesn't like disobedient children. ”
"I'm obedient." Tie Zhu hurriedly nodded: "Does Aunt Fifth still have sugar?" ”
