Chapter 22: The Splendid Sister Flowers
In Gaole Village, west of Taiyuan Prefecture, the endless wheat fields are surging with vast wheat waves, showing a bumper harvest. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info wheat cutting is a very hard thing, the wheat cutter has to constantly change the body posture, the waist has to bend to ninety degrees, the villagers are busy, they hum the mountain song, the sickle under the hand waved over, the wheat that brushes the head is held in the hands of the strong man. And the wheat lay comfortably on the ground under the caresses of the strong men, and they threw themselves into the arms of the men with their ripeness. And those angel-like birds do not hover in the wheat fields, but soar everywhere, and from time to time whisper a gentle tune, as if to praise the peasants and compose beautiful poems.
At this time, you will see a pair of beautiful sisters, and they are pushing a wheelbarrow that is not too heavy, and on the cart is placed a large clay jar, which holds tea water. It turned out that they had come to bring tea to the wheat cutters in the village. This pair of sisters, the elder sister is called Dove, and the younger sister is called Derong, and their parents died of illness when they were very young. The sisters became orphans and grew up eating hundreds of family meals. From time to time, the people in the village always have to help them chop a load of firewood and send a bucket of rice, and help them plant the land and harvest the farmer when they are busy with the farm. The kind aunt will also often bring some meals. The sisters quickly grew up and they were sensible. In the past few days of wheat harvesting, the sun is scorching the earth, so the two sisters of Dev Derong make a fire early in the morning to boil water, and soak the good tea leaves they have picked and stored at home, and when the boiling water is cool, they will push it to the field with a clay jar to bring coolness to the villagers.
In the past few days, I can't count how many times I have been to the field, and the villagers are very grateful. Some aunts pulled the pair of good sisters over when they were drinking water and said something intimate. Some want to find them a good family and tell them that they won't live so hard if they get married. However, although the two sisters have reached the age of breaking melons, due to the early death of their parents, they are not ready to get married. The two sisters smiled and politely declined.
In this way, clay jar after clay jar was sent to the earth, and the scorching sun finally set in the evening, and the earth was scorched extremely hot. Although the weather is hot these days, the villagers are afraid of the rain, so they hurry up to harvest, and the wheat in the fields is almost all harvested and piled up in their houses.
On this evening, the villagers held a celebration under the old locust tree at the head of the village to celebrate this year's good harvest. Because the village is small and limited by the terrain, there are very few fields that can be used to cultivate food, so the population is not large, and the total number of people does not exceed 500. There are only a handful of strong men in the village. This year, with a good harvest, the harvest was nearly twice as much as last year's, and the villagers were smiling happily. They lit a bonfire and danced around the old locust tree. Dev Derong also came, and the harvest in their field was enough to feed them for more than a year, so the sisters were also very happy.
Everyone was dancing and singing, and suddenly a young man walked under the big locust tree and announced to the villagers in a loud voice: Everyone be quiet, I have something to say to the beautiful and lovely sisters.
The villagers quieted down, and everyone looked at the young man, his name is Shi He, he is a well-known wheat harvester in the village, and he helped harvest almost all the wheat in the Defu Derong sisters' house this year.
Shi He looked mighty and tall, his eyes were calm and resolute, he looked at the villagers, and continued: "In front of Lizheng, in front of the villagers, today, I want to propose to Derong. Please let Sister Dove call the shots and marry your good sister Derong to me, okay? ”
Dove looked at the young man in front of him, he was two years older than himself, he was eighteen today, he was so handsome, he often dreamed of being carried by him in his dreams, going with him to the stream, to the high mountains, they were happily enjoying the beautiful nature. How Dove wanted him to propose to him...... She froze and didn't answer immediately.
Shi He said sincerely: "I must be good to Derong, what kind of person I am, everyone in the village knows it, isn't my sister at ease?" ”
Derong pulled her sister's sleeve and said, "Sister, I'm willing." ”
Dove looked at his sister and thought: Yes, my sister is such a good girl, only Shi He is worthy of her. I'll talk about it later. He nodded at Shi He and said, "Okay." Since my sister is willing, I agree. ”
Shi He happily hugged Derong, and the singing of the villagers echoed in the sky again, and everyone danced happily.
At this moment, Uncle Li, a villager, ran over, only to see him look flustered, panting heavily, pointing in the direction where he came, and saying: "Oh no, no, no, the bandit Bei Qianjiang is here, quick, pick up the hoe, don't let them rob us of our grain!" ”
Li Zheng commanded the villagers loudly: the men went home and picked up their hoes to gather at the entrance of the village, and the women hid in their homes and did not come out. And asked Uncle Li to run to the mountain, light the beacon signal, and invite the villagers of the neighboring village to come to the rescue.
Shi He said to the two sisters, "Go home and hide." Don't run out! Then he ran home and got his hoe.
Before the villagers could gather together, Bei Qianjiang and his men had already slaughtered the village. They are menacing, the number of them is estimated to be more than a hundred, and all of them have excellent knife skills, killing people without blinking. How could the villagers withstand such a killing! After a while, the village was slaughtered, and even a strong man like Shi He was not spared. There were also a few elderly men who were escorted to lead the way, and they poured grain from house to house. Carts of grain were loaded into carts and pushed by these old men to the bandits' lair, and then these old men had to be killed.
Bei Qianjiang beckoned his subordinates again, "Have you collected all the grain?" ”
"Put it away!" The bandits were all triumphant, and they looked gratefully at the leader, Beckon.
"Next, rob the woman!"
"Whew!" The robbers cheered like hungry wolves at the sight of fishy meat.
"However, the pair of sisters in the famous township are Lao Tzu, you can't move!" Beyzensmith said loudly.
"Hahaha!" The bandits scattered in a hurry.
Under the guidance of the captured old man in the village, Bei Qian quickly found the house of the two sisters. When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he frowned when he saw that the gate was closed, and shouted, "Open the door, sister flower!" Don't be shy, marry me. I'll marry you both, and I'm sure you'll be comfortable every day!" ”
After speaking, he kicked open the door, walked into the room, and saw the two sisters hugging each other and hiding on the bed, regardless of whether they were afraid or not, they grabbed them one by one, threw them on the wheelbarrow in the yard like two chickens, and pushed them back to the cottage. The rest of the robbers also found the woman they liked, and they all took them back.
