Outside the camp, in the crop fields. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On duty here is a Shi assigned by Yang Liu, who is basically a crop man.

The crops in the field are not yet ripe, so there is no need to worry about beasts and thieves stealing them, and Yang Liu really has no extra manpower.

According to Yang Liu's arrangement, one was divided into two teams, one in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. The unworthy soldiers could not return to the camp, and in case something happened, they had to support their brothers who were on duty at night.

Hu Donkey was the captain in charge of the first half of the night, and the people in the second half of the night changed his shift, and Hu Donkey led a group of five people to find a sheltered place and nested.

After staying in the silent and open crop field for half a night, and seeing people again, everyone was still a little excited, and asked each other, and it turned out that the big guys all squinted in the field.

The five of them chatted.

Some people were worried and asked when the 100 acres of land, 100 acres of grassland, and 2 acres of homestead promised by Lord Lidel would be divided.

While analyzing, several people read that it is estimated that a hundred acres of land will have to wait for a while, because it has to be cleared first. Hu Donkey estimated that no matter how the land was cleared, it would have to be done by a group of people, and it would only be divided when the land was opened.

A hundred acres of grassland is easy to do, and it can be divided directly. With your own pasture, you can raise cattle. A hundred acres of land cannot be planted by manpower alone, and there must be large livestock.

The five of them began to argue, whether to raise Mongolian cattle or Qinchuan cattle.

Mongolian cattle are easy to feed, but Qinchuan cattle are notoriously powerful.

The topic of several people naturally turned to the two-acre homestead. Lidel's arrangement is to build a house on seven points of land, and grow vegetables and raise chickens on one acre and three points of land.

Ga Li from Hu Donkey's same village said excitedly, "Have you heard, Daoist Jia said that the emperor in the capital is only one acre and three points of land!" ”

"The land in the capital is so expensive? How can one acre and three points of land be eaten by the emperor's family? ”

Ga Li looked down on the person he talked to, "Hey, you don't know anything, the emperor's family eats the imperial grain handed over by the thirteen provinces." The emperor's family specially drew thirteen points of land on the side of the temple of the head of his family, which represents the thirteen provinces. ”

Someone asked, "We are not within the thirteen provinces, and we are not under the control of the emperor, right?" ”

Hu Donkey said: "This is outside the side wall, of course it is not under the control of the emperor!" The head of the emperor's family is Lord Ji, and our head is Lord Shennong, two different things! ”

"Then isn't our one-third of an acre of land as big as the emperor?"

A few people laughed happily.

Hu Donkey asked: "When you have one acre and three points of land, what are you going to do?" ”

Someone replied: "I, plant all the wheat, and eat a few meals of white noodles when the wheat is harvested!" ”

Hu Donkey said: "Look at your income, there is a field for planting wheat!" If I were to plant flax, the flax seeds would be squeezed for oil, and the flax stalks would be stripped of the flax stalks. ”

Ga Li disagreed, "You still say that people are unproductive!" When I have an acre and three points of land, I will plant a clump of garlic, a tuft of green onions, and three chili seeds. When the wheat is harvested, make a beautiful bowl of Ga noodles, sprinkle with green onions, mix with spicy seeds, and garlic, and then ask you for some sesame oil......"

Several people swallowed.

Ga Li then longed, "I still have to plant a few vines, build a shelf, and take a nap under the grape trellis in the summer, and pick a bunch ......of grapes to eat when I wake up."

"I have to build a chicken shed, and as soon as the hen calls, she will support Gava to pick up eggs......"

A sharp willow flute pierced the night sky, and also pierced the imagination of several people.

The five of them straightened up and looked in the direction of the willow flute.

A tall field of corn, blocking their view.

Someone complained: "The thieves still don't let people stop, they went to the camp in the middle of the night to make trouble, and now they are running to the crops to make trouble!" ”

Hu Donkey said: "Take all your guys, let's go over and check it." ”

Several people took hoes and forks one after another.

But Ga Li cried out, "Hey, where is my hoe?" ”

"Didn't you still hold it when you were on duty?"

"Hey! When I was on duty at night, I used it as a pillow, and it must have fallen on the place where I was on duty. ”

Hu Donkey instructed: "After a while, you will go to find your hoe, let's go and see first, it is probably not a big deal." ”

The group dragged and set off towards the cornfield.

The cornfield is already more than one person high, and in the middle of the two furrows, it is just enough for one person to pass.

The men followed the sound of the willow flute through the cornfield to the edge of a wheat field. The wheat in this wheat field will be harvested in more than 20 days, and it has begun to turn yellow.

A few black shadows were squatting on the edge of the wheat field, and there was a sound of "click, click" in the dark night, and with the sound of "click, click", there were sparks bursting out!

Deep in the wheat field, someone is desperately playing the willow flute.

The thief wants to burn the wheat!

These thieves can't eat wheat by themselves, and their hearts are so bad that they don't let others eat it!

If the wheat is destroyed, there will be no summer grain! Without summer food, the people in the camp will starve to death!

"Donkey Day!"

Hu Donkey roared loudly and rushed forward with a hoe.

The black shadow stood up a few people, and hurriedly came up to meet the five people of Hu Donkey, and under the moonlight, the knife in the thief's hand was really visible.

The sound of the "click, click" lighter sickle continues.

As soon as Hu Donkey added up his speed, he felt a numbness in his legs, and he fell to the ground. In the wheat field beside him, a spear stretched out, and he mixed himself strongly!

A man emerged from the wheat field, drew his spear, and stabbed the donkey hard.

Hu Donkey only felt that his eyes were black, and he was sweating profusely, and he saw a spear stabbing at him, "If you burn the wheat, Lao Tzu won't be able to live anyway!" Hu Donkey didn't dodge, and smashed the hoe straight at the thief.

The man who attacked the sneak attack didn't expect Hu Donkey to fight hard with himself, and as soon as he hesitated, the hoe smashed down with the wind, and it was falling on the shoulder of the sneak attack man, only to hear a "click" sound, and the shoulder of the sneak attack man was probably broken.

Hu Donkey's stomach was also poked into it by Changmao.

Fortunately, the sneak attack on the man's side was no longer strong, and the spear did not continue to penetrate.

The sneak attacker pulled his right arm, and Hu Donkey's second hoe fell again.

The sneak attacker was frightened, and with a "mom" sound, he turned around and fled.

Hu Donkey's calf was no longer numb at this time, it became a pain in the heart, Hu Donkey could no longer save his strength, he threw a hoe with both hands, and curled up on the ground at once, holding the spear poked in his stomach with one hand, and gasping for breath.

Hu Donkey's men caught up, and Ga Li picked up Hu Donkey's hoe and chased down.

Hu Donkey raised his eyes and saw that his own people and the thieves who came up had already taken over.

In the distance, the wheat was already lit, and a thief ran and set fire to it as he ran farther away with a bunch of ignited wheat stalks.

Hu Donkey used all his strength and played his willow flute.

It wasn't until the time of ventilation that Hu Donkey heard the willow flute in the distance also sound, and spit out the willow flute in his mouth.

Hu Donkey looked over again, and his people had become a ball with the thief. It is not clear who is who, but it is your own person who can tell who holds a hoe and fork, and it is a thief who holds a machete.

Those with hoes and forks are obviously the same as themselves, desperate for their lives. Those with machetes cut down, and those with hoes and forks did not shy away from them, and they faced a fellow guy!

Especially a shadow with a hoe, wherever he hits, the thief will retreat.

It's just that the thieves are overwhelming, and as soon as this one retreats, that one rises again.

The shadow of the hoe finally shook a few times and fell.

The brothers who were on duty in the second half of the night also abandoned their sentry posts and rushed straight to this side to join the melee by the light of the fire in the wheat field.

Hu Donkey wanted to stand up, but the spear on his stomach hurt fiercely. Only then did Hu Donkey realize that he had been seriously injured. Strangely, a stomach injury is not as good as a leg pain.

Looking at the engagement between the two sides, the thief obviously wanted to leave, but he couldn't get out.

As soon as the knife is turned, a man with a hoe or fork pounces on him.

In the distance, there was a commotion in the camp, and a large group of men and horses rushed out with shouts.

Hu Donkey's eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

Fire sickle

The fire sickle, because the shape is made to resemble a curved sickle and flint can produce sparks, and it is still more popular in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi, especially in the fifties and sixties.

The fire sickle is basically composed of three parts:

Flint: Usually refers to flint, if there is no flint, it can also be used as a pebble, which can produce sparks when impacted at high speeds.

Velvet: It is the young leaves of mugwort, which are picked and dried at the end of spring and summer, and then kneaded into a flocculent shape by hand for later use.

Fire steel: A small piece of ordinary steel strip with less hardness is used in the popular, which is heat treated and made into a curved sickle shape to become the main part of the fire sickle. The owner of the utensils who are more particular about the point is engraved with the unicorn spitting fire, the dragon swallowing the fireball and other decorations on the steel bar, and inlays a piece of leather in the curved steel bar, making it look like a small Kun bag held by a modern woman, and there are two pieces of iron embedded in the mouth, one of which is magnetic, and the mouth will be automatically sealed when not in use, so as to prevent the flint, mugwort and other objects contained in the bag from being lost or damp.

When used, the fire sickle is repeatedly rubbed against the flint to heat up, and then the flint is slammed downwards to produce sparks that ignite the moxa wool that cushions the flint.
