After breakfast, Haizi got into the car, loaded the large basin and bucket containing the food into the car, and beckoned Monroe out of the Yun family compound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sun is really warm in late spring, which makes people who are in its arms lazy and slowly experience this quiet and peaceful comfort. This is the most fashionable and romantic season in the north, and it is the most beautiful gestation before the crazy growth of everything in the hot summer. Except for the reeds beside the shallow water of the pond, which have grown taller, the weeds on the field and the seedlings in the fields are changing unhurriedly, tender and sweet. The carriage walked unhurriedly on the avenue of the field, and Haizi and Monroe accosted a few words from time to time.

"Why are you driving so slowly?" Monroe asked.

"If you go too fast, won't the soup and water be spilled?" Haizi said.

"Aren't all the people working in the fields hungry?"

"It's time every day, get used to it."

"What are they doing in the fields now?" Monroe changed the subject and asked about something else.

"Shoveling the ground and thinning seedlings is very tiring." Haizi replied.

"Big guy is so strong, can others keep up?"

"There is a god in the hoe and the sickle, and whoever leads it can pull people down. The big guy has a good heart, and every time he goes to the ground, he has to pick up and pull back. ”

"Can you catch them at work?"

"Except for cutting sorghum or something, I can catch it."

"Then why doesn't my father give you the same salary as them?"

"That's good. I don't often go down to the field to work with them, it's all odd jobs or something, and I'm not as tired as them. ”

"Then you still have to keep work and settle accounts, can they do it? When I go back, I'll tell my dad to give you some extra wages. ”

"Thank you, Miss Five, for thinking of me like this, you don't need to tell your father, Master Yun promised to give me the salary of the whole labor next year."

"Am I not called Monroe? Why is it called Miss Five? ”

"It's called Monroe in the school, and it's called Miss Five here."

"No, I like to be called Monroe, I don't like to be called Miss, you can't call me Miss in the future."

Haizi didn't answer Monroe's question again, looked back at her carefully, and asked with concern: "You can't be idle at home like this, you have to think about what to do in the future!" ”

"What do you think I'm going to do in the future?" Monroe tilted her head and looked at Haizi very seriously.

"You should go to your brother's school, I heard that the school in the city is good."

"Are you going then?"

"My family is so poor, how can I afford to study?"

"Then you can go to my eldest brother's house as a buddy, and I will go to his school."

"That's not good, I can't leave home now, let's talk about it when my younger siblings grow up in a few years. You should go right away, or you'll be delayed. ”

"My father has the final say in this matter, it's useless for others to say anything, he doesn't want our Yun family's daughter to go out."

The carriage was still walking unhurriedly. Haizi thought: Monroe changed into new clothes today, as if she was dressed up on purpose. I didn't find that she was so good-looking a few years ago, she is really a female college eighteen changes, and the more she changes, the better she looks. This girl is really blessed, and she will definitely marry into an official family in a big city and become an official wife in the future. Monroe looked at Haizi's back and thought: Haizi, this kid has grown up, even his mouth has grown a beard, and he is about to become a big man. This child's life is really miserable, if his father didn't die, he could send him to study in the city, but now it's bitter. Since his father's death, this child seems to have changed, he doesn't like to talk much, and he always seems to have something on his mind. Seeing me, it seems that he is deliberately hiding and does not want to play with me.

"Jackie Chan, how old are you this year?" Monroe asked suddenly.

"Eighteen." Haizi replied.

"What? You're not as old as me, you're eighteen, do you want to marry a daughter-in-law? Monroe joked.

Haizi smiled unnaturally: "The clothes you are wearing today are so beautiful, and you are not afraid of being buried." ”

"Buried and washed. You say my clothes look good. Monroe asked with a smile.

"It's all good. The material is good, the appearance is good, and the people are getting better and better. ”

"This kid can really talk, and you will find a daughter-in-law who is better looking than me in the future."

"I can find a Zhu Bajie." Haizi looked back at Monroe and suddenly asked, "Yes, why didn't you bring the black girl today?" ”

"Go! The kid ......" both blushed on their faces.

Both of them stopped talking, and came to the place where the food was delivered in silence. At this time, the big man led the men to shovel the ground and arrived at the ground, and several people were already rushing towards the carriage.

"A few of you come back, pick up the lagging ones one after another, let's have dinner together." The big guy called back a few people who were coming towards the carriage.

Monroe helped Haizi move the food from the car, took out the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the tarpaulin, and stood aside to watch the farmers who came to eat.

"Drink some water first, I'm thirsty." Said the big guy.

"This water is boiled and cooled, my father said that he was afraid that you would have a stomach." Monroe enthusiastically lifted the cover from the bucket and beckoned everyone to drink.

"Miss Fifth has also come to deliver the meal in person, and everyone must have eaten this meal well." The big guy drank water and beckoned the guys to eat.

"In the future, the fifth sister will come to bring us food every day, everyone likes you to bring food." Silly Hisako said with a grin while serving the soup.

Silly Jiuzi is the nephew of Yun Erye's successor woman, he is in his twenties this year, his big name is Lu Chengjiu, and he has been working in the Yun family for three or four years. The man is tall and mighty, full of tiger energy, and has a simple smile, everyone calls him a stupid long son. In fact, he is not stupid at all, but quite sharp, hindering the face of his aunt Yun Erniang, the status of Silly Jiuzi in the Yun family is still quite high, and he is one of the few people who can go to the backyard watchtower to stay, and the Yun family also values him very much.

"You're thinking beautifully, I'm digging wild vegetables for my grandmother today." Monroe's personality has always been very easy-going, belonging to the gentle and virtuous type, but she has never spoken politely to her stepmother's cousin.

After everyone finished eating, Haizi and Monroe began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Silly Hisako also came over to help, and everyone loaded the bowls and pots into the car. Haizi turned the horse's head and returned from the road he had come.

When he came to Yedianzi, Haizi propped up the cart with a front stick, unloaded the two horses, tied the reins on the horse's hitch to the horse's front legs, and then let the horse go and let the horse graze on its own.

It's a meadow that's not too big, and it's triangular in shape. To the north of him is a small lake, with a length and width of seventy or eighty zhang, and it will be larger in the rainy season, it is the main source of water for Yun Erye's family to water and farm in the spring, and there are fish in the lake in summer, and it can be fished in the winter, and it is not the time yet.

Haizi led Monroe to a field by the lake and said to Monroe: "This land is close to the water, and it is close to the Dianzi, and there are many vegetables for borage, so let's dig here." ”

"You go and herd the horses, I'll dig it myself. Besides, I didn't carry that many knives, just one. Monroe didn't seem to want Haizi to help dig it.

"Didn't I carry a scythe? I've tripped up the horse, so I don't need anyone to watch. Haizi didn't listen to Monroe's words, and squatted down to help Monroe dig up wild vegetables.

When Monroe saw Haizi digging a handful of vegetables, she was about to go to her and put the vegetables in the basket, and she was a little troublesome, so she said, "You can rest, it's very tired." I can do it alone, I don't have to dig too much, I just have enough to eat. ”

Haizi didn't squeak and continued to help her dig wild vegetables.

At this time, from the side of Dianzi where the horses were placed, there was a call of a donkey, and the two of them looked over there in unison, only to see a big black male donkey running over from nowhere, running straight towards the two mules and horses put by Haizi.

"Isn't this your big black donkey, how did it run out," Haizi said puzzled.

"Then let's take it back together." Monroe said.

While the two men were talking, the big black donkey was already howling and running to the red mule. The cry, high-pitched and bright, passionate and wild. The two knew what was going to happen next.

Haizi suddenly felt some strange surge of blood in his body, and couldn't help but look back at Monroe. Monroe blushed and stared at the movements of the donkey and the horse, and when she saw Haizi looking at her, she hurriedly squatted down: "Ignore it, dig vegetables." Then he said, "Or you will drive the big black donkey away, and my father will let you?" ”

"The offspring of donkeys and horses are mules. The mule is economical and diligent, and it can't give birth to cubs, so it's easy to feed, and the owner can agree. Haizi replied.

"I came out with you and ran into this, you are a peach blossom." Monroe felt that the conversation was gone, so the two stopped talking.

In a few moments, the basket was almost full. "That's all there is to it, that's enough." Monroe said.

"The horses haven't eaten yet, so why don't you go back first." Haizi said.

"It's okay, let's go back together, I'll go to the pit to pick the endive, wash it again, and save the trouble when I go home."

"Then let's go to the little hut, it's a good place, it's clean."

So they went to the little hut. This small shack is a temporary resting place for the Yun family to watch the water, grazing, and greening, and to shelter from the rain. As the two of them walked towards the little shack, the big black donkey chirped wildly again, and the red horse whispered in agreement............ This brute, I'm afraid I'm crazy today, both of them think so.

When she came to the small shack, Monroe said, "You can go in and rest for a while, I'll just pick one of them." ”

Haizi nodded. He seemed to feel that his heart was beating a little faster with Monroe, and it was better to leave, so he walked into the small shack.

There are small windows on three sides of the small shack, and there are no wooden doors at the entrance and exit in front, so you can look out on all sides. On the right, you can see the lake, on the left, you can see the horses on Dianzi, and in front you can see the whole black earth. There is a small earthen kang in the shack, which can only accommodate one person to lie down, and the kang is still covered with grass. Haizi sat down, looked at the donkeys and horses grazing leisurely, and then looked at the quiet water and the reeds that had grown more than two feet above the water near the shore, and felt very comfortable. He sat there for a moment, then lay down relaxed.

Outside the shack, it was still bright and sunny in spring, and the melodious birdsong in the distance and the cheerful cry of insects in the distance were low and long. The time near noon is really quiet, which not only nourishes the brain, but also nourishes the body. Haizi wanted to sort out what happened during this time, but his mind was very messy and he couldn't come up with a clue. He thought, what should he do next day? When will I go home and see? Can you find time to finish the courtyard wall when you get home? What is Monroe doing now? Monroe's image jumped into his mind again and again, and he hurried and pulled to mess up his head even more. Haizi didn't want to think about it anymore, but his thoughts always came and went, intermittently, pushing him to sleep in the flickering and jumping.

Monroe picked the dishes for a while, looked up at the sun, and was still a long time before going home for dinner. Monroe simply sat down, leaning against the wall of the small shack and letting the warm sunlight warm her body. This sunlight, like an invisible silk, gently brushed her body, from the outside to the inside, from the surface to the inside, stirring the warmth of the body and the itching of the heart. Monroe's slightly closed eyes on her face oozed fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and forehead.

Monroe stood up and came to the water's edge, and gently stroked the water a few times with her hand, the water was soft, warm, and had a refreshing charm. She stood up and looked around, and there was no sound in the open field, and there was not half a figure in sight. She approached the small shack again, and saw that Haizi had fallen asleep, as if she was still dreaming sweetly. She went to the water's edge again, took off her shoes, pulled up her trouser legs, and tested the water with her feet. The water was not deep, and there were planks in the grass near the shore, which she knew: it was for the bathing of the young people. She stood in the water and gently stroked her face and arms with her hands. She really couldn't stand the temptation and teasing of this water, she felt uncomfortable tight, and her heart was itching and crazy. The excited cry of the big black donkey came from Dianzi's side again, which was fascinating. Monroe looked left and right again, simply stripped naked, and hid in the grass that could completely cover people and took a bath, as women in the north take a bath in the summer.

Haizi turned over gently, and he didn't mean to wake up yet, this kid was really tired. Suddenly, Haizi was awakened by a series of screams.

"Wolves! Wolf...... Quick, wolf...... Fast! Wolf ......"

Haizi jumped up quickly, and was surprised to see Monroe burrowing into the shack naked, still dripping with water, and kept crying out in horror: Wolf...... Wolf! The wolf ......, his voice hurried and trembled, panicked.

Haizi quickly picked up the sickle and ran out of the shack. "Don't ......, wolf! …… Wolf ......, just watch the door......" Monroe grabbed Haizi with her hand and didn't let him rush out.

Haizi wanted to use his hand to get rid of Monroe's block, but unintentionally his hand touched Monroe's smooth arm, and in an instant, like acupuncture stabbed the acupuncture point, blood gushed upward, and beads of sweat appeared on his red face.

Haizi rushed out and looked around, but saw nothing, the horses and donkeys were still grazing leisurely. Look again, there is still nothing.

"Where are the wolves? Nothing......" Haizi wanted to go into the shack and tell Monroe.

"The wolf ran away...... Don't come in! Give me the clothes, don't ......" Monroe was still panicked, and stood there trembling and straight. Haizi's eyes froze for a moment, and he saw ...... woman's body at a glance. "Don't come in! Take the clothes ......," Monroe still exclaimed.

Haizi went to the water's edge and found Monroe's clothes, gently picked them up one by one, and hugged them to his chest, and the clothes still had a mysterious femininity floating on them. Not far from the clothes, there was a hare that had just been bitten to death, and Haizi seemed to understand something.

Walking to the shack, Haizi handed the clothes into the small window and whispered, "Put them on, the wolf has already run away." ”

When Monroe, whose face was crimson, came out of the shack, she was still asking, "Is there a wolf, I didn't lie to you."

Haizi nodded and said, "Maybe it's the big bad male wolf I met in the turning mountains again." ”

"It's gray, a big wolf. How do you know it's the one you came across? It's scared to death, if I hadn't run fast......" Monroe said.

"It must be, you see, it has a rabbit in its mouth."

"Rabbits? Why are you holding a rabbit......"

"I think it's for your big black dog to eat, so that it can replenish its body."

"For the big black dog? Didn't you come to bite us? ”

"This wolf is not here to eat people, but wants us to bring the rabbit back, you don't have to be afraid."

"This beast is so bad. also understands human nature...... "Monroe doesn't know whether to scold or approve."

"It's time for us to go back." Haizi beckoned Monroe to walk towards the donkeys and horses grazing in the meadows.

"You can't say anything when you go back, you can't talk to anyone, you swear!" Monroe, who was walking behind, was shocked, and her voice trembled and instructed Haizi.

"What am I talking about, what can't I say?" Haizi pretended not to understand.

"You can't say anything, you can't talk to your mother. My grandmother once said that whoever sees a woman's body is her man. If you say that there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! Monroe spoke more clearly and resolutely.

"What do I see! I don't see anything? Haizi still quibbled with bad intentions.

"You've seen it, you've seen everything, two...... times, all ...... I saw ......," Monroe confirmed softly.

Haizi did not answer Monroe's words again. He stepped forward and led the horses to the cart one by one, put them on the cart, and prepared to go back.

Monroe watched Haizi's every move, stared at Haizi and said, "You are not a man, men must dare to act." ”

Haizi walked up to Monroe very solemnly, wiped the tears from Monroe's eyes with his hand, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone if I die." Don't think about it and act as if nothing happened. ”

Haizi drove the carriage, and the big black donkey followed not far behind. The two of them sat in the car one after the other, back to back, without saying a word, each thinking about their own thoughts. The noon sun was a little hot, and the people were upset, and Haizi whipped the horse twice, and the two horses trotted up. The creaking of the carriage and the clatter of horses' hooves were short and impatient.
