The snow melts on the top of the mountain, and the snow hanging on the treetops melts and falls down the mountain.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the temple in the mountain is not too much, and a forest in the back mountain is beginning to show tender shoots. A woman dressed in coarse linen walks through the fields, always followed by a chirping girl. The land belonging to the Guanyin Temple is cultivated by tenant farmers.

Stepping on the soft soil, the soil gives off a fragrant scent. The gentle spring breeze takes away the cold, and the fresh air blowing from the mountains makes the heart feel relaxed.

With the sparkling sweat of his black hair, the green onion and white jade hand held the hoe, turning over the wet earth. The afternoon sun in early spring was not too hot, and Ji Yulian, who had worked hard all morning, looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, revealing a charming smile.

Hongyi, who doesn't know how to farm, has been carrying a hoe and following behind his sister, pretending to hoe the ground. said: "Sister, you slow down, the hoe is quite heavy." ”

There is only half an acre of vegetable land, one of the private plots of land in the Guanyin Temple. Reciting scriptures in the Guanyin Temple all day long, the days of Fuqin are plain and comfortable. The Lotus Gang rearranged its staff, and the Huangqu Lu family sent an old man in his fifties to live at the foot of the mountain. This old man Yulian is very familiar with the housekeeper of the Lu family back then.

At this time, the old man was holding a cigarette gun in his hand, and a lump of smoke rings was rising. Dressed in coarse linen clothes, he looked like an old farmer, and a large white bowl was placed on a small table. I took a puff of dry tobacco and exhaled a puff of smoke in enjoyment. He looked at the harsh sun and took a large sip of warm water.

Standing in the field, he shouted, "It's time for Mademoiselle to eat." ”

Yulian looked at the red clothes who had been complaining, and she was really powerless. Just now, I disliked the heavy hoe, but I just heard that the meal was opened, and my strength was greater than anyone else's. Carrying the hoe in just a few steps, he had already arrived at the edge of the field, and coaxed Leng Leng to throw down the hoe and said, "Grandpa Ye has something to eat today." ”

Carrying a hoe to Tanabe Yulian, she didn't sit on the ground with a hint of cold air like a lady. Steward Ye took out a piece of coarse grain flatbread from the basket, and Hongyi took the flatbread in disappointment, and complained on his lips: "Why is it still this today, Grandpa Ye wants to eat meat." ”

Reaching out to take the flatbread, Yulian slapped her little head angrily, and said aggrievedly, "I want to eat meat." ”

There is really no way to deal with the little girl, she is still so ignorant at the age of sixteen or seventeen. In addition to wanting to eat meat all day long, even the pastries occasionally sent by Mrs. Keats are not eye-catching. There are only two of them in the entire Guanyin Temple, and they can occasionally eat pastries under the mountain, which are often secretly sent up the mountain by the Lotus Gang Hu Hansheng and his son.

Yulian said: "Eat yours, it's good to have a stutter." ”

Steward Ye looked at Yulian happily, and always felt that the young lady who had lived in the house for more than a year would not lose her temper. Weak in character and rarely has a mind of its own. When I met again, I found that the young lady had changed person. Although it shows weakness, the smell of a master is always exuded from the body, not a promise.

"Steward Ye, don't you eat some." Asked.

Refill the tobacco leaves, a mouthful of smoke came out and said, "The old man has eaten it, and he has been working in the field all morning without helping much." Miss, you can just eat it. ”

Yulian just asked, eating the flatbread and watching the results of the morning. I haven't cultivated for many years, and it took several days to deal with half an acre of vegetable land. This morning has not been halfway over, and it was only a matter of a day before.

Eat and take a sip of warm water from time to time. Not gentle at all, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and burped. He stood up and said, "If Steward Ye has nothing to do, go back and rest." You are also almost sixty years old, don't look at the wind and sun in the early spring, you can still hurt your body. ”

The person who practices martial arts is sixty years old, and his body is far stronger than that of an old farmer in his forties, and Steward Ye has been in the Lu family for decades, where does he not understand that Miss is driving people. I've been here for more than half a year, and I'm used to it. Yulian is still mostly disgusted with the Lu family, and besides, she really doesn't know how to practice farming, and she is not as good as a woman in her early twenties.

smiled and said, "It's okay, old man, I'm sitting here." The air in the field is better, and the mood is comfortable, so it won't disturb the young lady. ”

Yulian didn't want to say anything, so she picked up her head and went to the ground. looked at the red clothes who didn't want to move, shook his head and didn't urge. A person carrying a hoe to the ground, and he couldn't help but think of his hometown back then, and he was quite similar to the red clothes.

I remember the first time I followed my father to the ground, and my mother had just passed away that year. There was no one at home to take care of him, so he could only follow his father to the field. Carrying a small hoe that Daddy made for himself, he followed Daddy to dig the ground, and instead of helping, he dug a deep pit that was not too big or small. If you sit down and do something wrong, you have to complain: "Daddy, I'll rest." ”

This rest was only one day, and he did not leave the field until the evening, and did not move a single step.

The tenant farmers of the Guanyin Temple had always wondered who this young woman was, and she did not look like a peasant girl with thin skin and tender flesh. The men who were busy in the fields glanced at it from time to time, and the coarse linen clothes could not hide the beautiful woman.

The man not far away put down the hoe to wipe off a handful of sweat, and looked sideways at the woman dancing with the hoe. couldn't help but show a smile, but the woman next to her kicked hard and said, "Look good." ”

The man laughed, and was punched and kicked by the woman, so he could only work obediently. The woman spat for no apparent reason: "Vixen." ”

In another field, two women were chattering about something and gossiping about one who worked alone and sat on the ground and did not work. "Let one person from a girl's family work, and see that this girl is born to her stepmother."

"That is it? I was thinking! The old man with good bones is not distressed at all. You can't be so partial to your grandson, how old you are. ”

The woman who was eating the nest smiled: "You are afraid that I will favor my grandson and let your daughter marry and not be able to live a good life." ”

The older woman pointed to the jade lotus in the field and said, "Do you know whose girl it is?" It's good-looking, can work, and looks like it's good to give birth. ”

"The old lady moved her mind to talk about the matchmaker again."

"All the young people in the village have gone to the border war, and I don't know how many people will come back. You said that now you will set a family business for those who can come back alive, too

is a meritorious family, but these two girls are not worthy. ”

Yulian, who was working in the fields, felt a little tired, and only then did she look up and find a sturdy man looking at her stupidly. Yulian glanced at it and immediately lowered her head, and the work of her hands never stopped. The man is only at the age of his early years, and he will look at Yulian again.

Mustering up the courage to run forward and say stupidly, "The girl is alone." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I was so stupid, and there were not two people sitting on the ground. The hoe was not snatched by the man, and Yulian said softly: "Son, please respect yourself." ”

Hearing the word Childe, the man was stunned at first. After living for more than 20 years, he has not been called a son, and he doesn't know what to say for a while when he looks at his shy face. Appearing more nervous, he plucked up his courage again and leaned closer.

said: "Girl, I'm a rough man, I don't need to be called a son." Gongzi is called by dignitaries, just call me Brother Zhuang. What's your name, girl? ”

I really didn't want to pay attention to this young man, just planting some vegetables to pass the time, and I actually met this man who didn't know the severity. reminded again: "Childe, please respect yourself, if this is the case, I will call someone." ”

The man glanced at an even younger woman sitting with his head bowed, and an old man in his sixties, and didn't think what could happen if he called over. is still dead and faceless entangled: "The girl doesn't want to say, is it married?" ”

Really tired of this man, Yulian directly threw the hoe on the ground and ignored it. Walking towards the ground, he really didn't have the heart to pay attention to this man. Da Zhuang saw Yulian turn her head and leave, his heart was even more itchy, and he trotted to catch up. He kept saying something, as if he was the only one in the village under the Hongshan Mountain, and other people of the same age were doing nothing.

Yulian is really tired of this man named Da Zhuang, and she has been walking around the fields for the past few days. Yulian didn't know, but how could Steward Ye not see it, so Yulian walked to the field and said, "Son, if you are so rude, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Da Zhuang looked at Steward Ye with contempt and said with a smile, "Girl, what do you mean by this." ”

Steward Ye stood in front of him and said, "Boy, be a little more disciplined, do you know who she is?" ”

"Who is it, old man, I don't think you know the girl's father, I advise you to stay away. Be careful that Lao Tzu is not polite to you. Said domineeringly. The tenant farmers in the fields looked at this side. Da Zhuang has a bad reputation in several nearby villages, and he occupies a shop handed over by his aunt to the county.

Hongyi was originally from a famous family, and he also had the mentality of fighting people and said: "What are you to dare to talk like this." ”

The tenant farmers who gathered around persuaded each other, and an elderly man took Steward Ye's arm and said, "Brother, go quickly." More people still watch the show, and Yulian really doesn't want to cause trouble.

Steward Ye is not good at saying anything, teaching a young man is just a gesture. Without waiting for Steward Ye to make a move, a young man rushed over and kicked Da Zhuang to the ground. The punches are extremely ruthless, and the punches are to the flesh. Many tenant farmers were frightened to hide, and the reckless teenager who didn't know where he came from, didn't know at all

The Tao is terrible.

The boy was relatively thin and weak, and he looked so strong that he had no backhand power under the boy's fist. It's almost a few years old, but it's not a grade at all. Yulian, who looked calm, had no intention of stopping, and the young man didn't seem to have the intention of stopping.

After a long time, someone recognized that this young man was Hu Hu, the son of Hu Hansheng, who opened a teahouse under the mountain, and someone stepped forward to persuade him, but he didn't expect Hu Hu's eyes to make people chill. Steward Ye didn't bother to do anything, he was just a bully, Hu Hu could still handle it.

Da Zhuang didn't dare to shout loudly, so Yulian stepped forward and said, "Hu Hu is like this, leave a lesson." ”

Only then did Hu Hu let go of his fist and kicked and said, "If you dare to entangle the gang leader again, you will be killed next time." Hearing the word helper, the onlookers looked at Yulian one after another. No one would have thought that this person who worked in the field was the master and a helper.

Hu Hu, who dissipated his anger, said: "Helper, next time there are these dogs and things to tell me to go down the mountain and see that I don't break the third leg." "After saying that, I regretted it, after all, the helper is also a woman. Seeing that someone was going to say something, Hu Hu turned his head to look.

Just now, the adults really scared many people, and it was only a moment to beat people. Da Zhuang has no chance to backhand at all, who is Da Zhuang, he is also a ruthless person in the village.
