"Hmm." The stone brushed aside the greens, pulled out a handful of weeds, shook off the dirt that had been pulled out, and threw them heavily into the basket.

Then he pulled out another handful of weeds and threw them into the basket.

Pulling and pulling, the stone found that his hand was getting stronger and stronger, and his heavy mood was relaxed.

Every time he uprooted the weeds and threw them into the basket, it was as if his resentment was being uprooted from his heart little by little and thrown into the abyss.

Half an hour had passed, and the other monks had already left one after another, and the stones were still sweating happily in the ground.

"Stone, rest. Your dad told me to take care of you, don't get tired. Baotong stood on the ridge and shook his head with a smile, he didn't expect the stone to stay in the vegetable field for so long.

"Mage, I'm not tired. I love weeding. "The stone is just buried in weeding.

"Okay, it's rare that you love labor so much, don't hold on when you're tired later, go back quickly."

"Hmm."

Until all the weeds in the garden were thrown into the basket, another hour had passed.

The stone stood up, stretched, and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

It was his first time doing farm work, and in this hour and a half, he forgot his troubles.

On the way home, the stone hummed a little song. At this time, spring is in full swing, and the graceful fragrance of flowers wafts in the air.

Stone breathed the breath of spring, and he had just noticed that the warmth had arrived, and the bitter cold had retreated across the board.

A gust of wind blew, and the peach trees by the roadside rattled, and the blooming flowers scattered on his head, body, and hands.

Bathed in the rain of flowers that soaked into his heart, he felt the beauty and wonder of life to the fullest.

At the dinner table, Shi had a great appetite and praised Mrs. Li for the lion's head that she made for him.

Mrs. Li was full of joy, but she was suspicious: "Stone, where are you going to play today, so happy?" ”

"I've gone to Xuanyuan Temple."

"Listen to the scriptures?"

"No, weeding."

"Weeding? Oops, I'm tired. Mrs. Li grabbed the stone's hand distressedly, "Look, it's all broken." ”

"It's okay, mother. I find it quite enjoyable to do farm work now. After that, the farm work at home will be wrapped up in me, and I will take care of all the flowers and plants. ”

"Yo, you can only pick flowers, how can you raise flowers."

"Mother, it turned out to be the original, and now I like to grow flowers and vegetables."

"You can grow whatever you want. Those flowers, if you want to plant them, you have to make a promise to your father first. There are a few pots that are rare varieties in the Western Regions, don't toss to death. ”

"Hehe, mother, look at what you said, I can cure people who are dying, just a few pots of flowers, can I still die?"

"Hmph, flowers are flowers, people are people, I'll see what you can toss them into." Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The stone will quarrel with her, and she should be almost past this hurdle.

The garden is full of spring, and the morning sun casts a layer of gold on the blooming flowers.

Every flower knows that this is the best time of the year, and the strength of winter is in full swing.

Some flowers win by bright colors, some by strong fragrance, and some by people and horses.

The stone ignored their pleas for attention, and eagerly pounced in front of a flower pot.

All he had in his eyes was the inconspicuous grass.

In the pot, except for the soil, that is, the branches, and not half of the weeds could be seen, and the stone was disappointed, and threw himself in front of another flowerpot.

It's the same thing, weeds don't have room in pots. He inspected pot after pot until he circled the garden.

The stone ran to the small vegetable patch the size of a palm. He also threw himself in the vegetable patch, and did not lose sight of a single weed.

"Ah San! Ah San! Stone shouted.

Ah San is the gardener of the Li Mansion, and he is the only one responsible for planting flowers and vegetables.

"Young Master! I'm here! What's wrong? Ah San heard the stone shouting, and quickly put down the kettle in his hand and ran forward.

"Is there such a small vegetable patch in our house?"

"Yes, it used to be bigger, but young master, you don't like the smell of fertilization, and the dishes have no aesthetic ......"

"You ......" Shi raised his arm and was about to hit Ah San.

"Young Master, these are your exact words."

"Alas!" Stone sighed. At that time, when he asked his subordinates to fill in the vegetable patch, he would have thought that he would like to grow vegetables today.

"Even if it's just such a small vegetable patch, it's always going to grow weeds, right?"

"I'm gone, young master."

"Who told you to get rid of it?"

"It's my job, I've been in it for years." Ah San touched his head, not understanding what was wrong with his diligent and diligent work.

"What else do you get rid of the weeds in those pots?"

"yes, as soon as I see a weed, I pull it out. Weeds can affect the growth of flowers and vegetables. ”

"Your eyes are so good, I won't have a single weed left."

"Young master, you will tell Ah San in the future, I will leave you as many weeds as you want."

"You are not allowed to remove a single weed in the future."

"Yes!"

Stone was depressed and depressed. There were no weeds to remove, and he felt powerless, and the sunlight he had just seen dimmed again.

His palms were sweaty, and he was restless, dangling like an ant on a hot pot in Li's Mansion.

The melodious bells of Xuanyuan Temple spread throughout the city, and the stone ran to the gate and looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Temple.

As the bell rang again and again, some flames suddenly appeared in his heart.

The flames slammed into his chest again and again, and finally burst into flames.

The stone ran all the way to Xuanyuan Temple.

The vegetables in the vegetable field are still as pleasing as yesterday, and the green is mouth-watering.

Today, only one little monk is busy watering and fertilizing.

"Stone, are you here to help today?" The little monk smiled.

"Well, I'll weed."

"The grass was removed yesterday, and there is no grass to remove today."

"No grass to remove?" The little monk's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, like a man who was about to die of thirst accidentally knocked over the last bit of life-saving water at the bottom of the tank.

"That's right, this weed is only removed once in five or six days, and it has been removed yesterday, where are the weeds today?" The little monk saw the stone stunned in place, thinking that he wanted to find some work, so he said, "You can fertilize." It's easier than weeding. ”

A bucket of dung was placed in front of the stone.

"Wow!" A mouthful of sour water welled up in his throat, and Stone Wow vomited. He didn't eat in the morning, his stomach was empty, and all he vomited was bitter water.

"Stone, are you alright?" The little monk laughed, "You eldest young master is very expensive, how can we take it for granted." I can eat next to this bucket of dung, believe it or not? ”

He stepped forward to hold the stone. When Shi saw the feces on the little monk's hands and body, he vomited even more, and his stomach and intestines almost poured out.

"I'm leaving." Shi said weakly, trembling out of Xuanyuan Temple.

On the way home, the warm sun unkindly stung his eyes, and the fragrant peach blossoms stinged him stingily to prevent him from smelling his fragrance.

The stone stumbled all the way back to his home, and then closed the door as he had done the other day, lying motionless on the bed.

He stared intently at the ceiling.

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the ceiling. Pieces of debris broke away from the roof and flew all over the sky, and gradually they turned into scraps of paper again, on which were Queen Ma's last words.

Queen Ma's face appeared, and she smiled lovingly at him, but the smile was short.

In an instant, it turned into Zhu Yuanzhang's face. This face is ruthless, cruel and tyrannical.

Shi picked up the copper rod next to the bed and knocked it on this face again and again, this face was soon bloody and blurred, but it was no longer Zhu Yuanzhang, it was a woman's face.

The stone closed its eyes in agony, and the copper rod rolled under the bed.

Baotong's words rang in his ears: "We see the ugliness of the world to dissolve it, and stopping the evildoers from doing evil is also a kind of good." ”

"Weeds compete with vegetables for nutrients and water in the soil, and they can also cause pests that must be removed."

"Get rid of it!" The stone sat up suddenly, as if awakened from a dream.

Get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang? But my mother said that his power was too great, and no one could get rid of him.

Everyone was like an ant in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he could easily pinch them to death, but they had no power to resist.

Even Hu Weiyong, a prime minister who is above 10,000 people under one person, can't shake Zhu Yuanzhang after conspiring for so long, what can he do with Zhu Yuanzhang as a small son of the Li Mansion?

"Tuk Tuk!" There was a sharp knock at the door.

"Stone, open the door! Why do you stuff yourself in your room without eating breakfast? "Mrs. Li didn't know that the stone had already gone to Xuanyuan Temple.

The stone opened the door. Mrs. Li saw that the stone was sallow and yellow, and yesterday's brilliance was swept away, and her heart was uneasy.

"Stone, what's wrong with you? Wasn't it okay yesterday? ”

"Mother, am I particularly useless. From Xiaoyi to reach out, to eat to open the mouth, will not do anything. ”

"How so? You forgot that you saved Mrs. Xie and Miss Xu. And the people of the Valley of Honesty, you also helped them get a pardon, but unfortunately it was a step too late. ”

"Mrs. Xie and Xu Miaojin, that's my luck."

"Where is luck, obviously your medical skills are good, and you are better than the imperial doctors in the palace. The imperial doctors are the top doctors in the country, and they are not as good as you. ”

Mrs. Li took Shishi's hand and pushed him out of the door, "Let's eat!" ”

"Mother," Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you think I can be an imperial doctor?" ”

The position of imperial doctor can allow him to get close to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he will also have the opportunity to poison him with medicine.

"To be a royal doctor?" Mrs. Li saw through the stone's thoughts, and waved her hand again and again: "The imperial doctor is too risky, your father won't let you go." ”

The stone lowered his eyes.

"Don't think about it, stone, you have to live happily, so that it is best for those who love you."

Madame Li caressed Shishi's increasingly thin cheek, loving and pitying, but unable to do anything.
