Chapter 366: Running in the Sunset
After eating, he naturally wanted to help with the work, and the prince wanted to experience life, so Xie Shence had to accompany him.
Several farmers disagreed at first, and the old man also said that he didn't value the half-day work of the two of them to eat, but just didn't want the guests to starve. Such simple words moved the prince - the people of Jiangnan County are so kind.
However, the more this happened, the more the prince wanted to help. In the end, the old man couldn't resist it, and discussed letting the girl who was okay take the prince and Xie Shence to try her hand.
The girl took two clean big-brimmed hats very carefully, and Xie Shence also took two silk scarves, wrapped the hats, made a cloak, and then put them on the prince.
The prince wondered, "Why is that?" ”
Xie Shence said: "When the rice ash falls into the clothes, it is not only itchy, but also spicy, and you will not be able to sleep at night." ”
The prince asked, "Then why don't they need it?" ”
Xie Shence was stunned, and said in his heart that they are them, you are you, people suffer all year round, and this has long been taboo. But you're different, if you don't cover it, you're sure to be red and swollen at night.
The girl said: "The eldest son, let's put it on, the second prince is right, the children of your family will not be able to stand it." ”
It's okay if the girl doesn't say it, but when she says this, the prince is even more reluctant to wear it, and says angrily: "Is this son reluctant to eat at all of it?" Today, not only will I not wear it, but I will help you harvest all the rice in this paddy field! ”
Xie Shence was secretly surprised, his heart was so big, and a dozen or so strong laborers hadn't even harvested a quarter of it in the morning, could the two of us still be able to top twenty skilled croppers?
"Not only do I not wear it, but you are not allowed to wear it either! Don't make people laugh! ”
Xie Shence was stunned again, feeling that his head was really burned out when he promised the prince to try his hand. No, he shouldn't have been taken to see the rice paddies at that time.
However, the prince insisted on going his own way, and Xie Shence was inconvenient to say anything, but just used the silk scarf as a scarf, so that the prince was reluctant to wear it. Of course, the girl who is the "master" also gets a share.
Correct the squatting posture, and then teach the prince how to hold the sickle, how to swing the knife with one hand, and after saying the demonstration one by one, the prince and Xie Shence began to move, but the speed was far from keeping up with the girl.
After all, it's a joke, and the girl can't be too fast, so she has to slow down. Thinking that he could help himself, but now he was playing with the two rich sons, and the burden of the grandmother was heavy, so she was a little anxious.
The prince got up from time to time to relieve his sore waist, and naturally saw all this in his eyes, so he began to talk to the girl intentionally or unintentionally. For example, what is the name of the village, how many families are there, who are there other people in the family, etc.
At this time, Xie Shence deliberately stayed away.
The afternoon sun was the most vicious, and it didn't take long for the prince's back to get soaked, and after only half an hour, the prince couldn't hold on.
Xie Shence is also soaking wet, but he has been practicing martial arts for many years and often fights, and his physique is much better than that of the prince, that is, he is not much better than the old farmers who have experience and know how to save the most effort, so he is not tired.
The prince lay on the ground, panting and said, "Why aren't you tired?" ”
Xie Shence sat on the side, drank bitter tea and said, "When I was a child, my master and senior brother taught me to practice, which was much harder than this. ”
"Well, when I go back and pass by, let Mr. Big pass me a set of kung fu."
"Naturally, Langya Mountain's kung fu can be picked by His Royal Highness."
The two spoke casually, their voices were slight, and the girl brought tea to the villagers, and she was not afraid of being heard by outsiders.
After a while, the old man came over, looked at the prince lying on the rice stalk and Xie Shence who was sitting, and said with a smile: "The son of a big family, why bother with this. ”
looked at Xie Shence again and said, "The little boy can stand it." ”
"I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child."
The old man said: "The people of Chuzhou City have a lot of martial arts. I once saw a monk boxing on Langya Mountain, and it was called a good-looking! ”
"Oh? Have the old man been to Langya Mountain? Xie Shence asked with a smile.
"Naturally, I've been there!" The old man was full of pride when he spoke, "Anyway, I couldn't find the way back then, but it was Mr. Langya Mountain who pointed me out!" ”
"The old man has seen Mr. Big?"
"Hehe, I didn't know at the time, I just thought it was an ordinary monk, and later I saw him take the monks to box, and I knew that he was Mr. Big, the eldest disciple of Zhiyong Zen Master. Oh, by the way, since the little boy is from Chuzhou City, can you know that the old Zen master and Mr. Big are good? ”
Xie Shence said with a smile: "Before going out, I went up the mountain to make incense, but I didn't see the old Zen master, but I listened to Mr. Big, and my body was hard." ”
The old man smiled happily: "That's good, that's good." ”
After a break, the girl came over and said, "Grandpa said, forget it when you're tired, don't be tired." ”
The prince got angry and said, "Don't be tired! You did it, and I did it! ”
Xie Shence knew that the prince's temper was rising, so he also said: "Girl, go yourself, this piece will be handed over to us, if it is not done well, we can pay the silver." ”
The girl smiled: "Where can I pay for the silver, I'm afraid that I will delay you, and I won't be able to reach the inn at night, and there is nowhere to rest." ”
The prince was not happy and said, "Girl, is this driving people away?" ”
The girl was startled and quickly shook her head.
The prince said: "The inn is only two dollars of silver for a night, and our brother pays five dollars of silver, even if it is the night's accommodation and food!" ”
The girl was startled again, and hurriedly said: "No silver, no silver, if the two sons don't dislike it, I'll go and tell the grandmother to make a room out at night for the two sons to rest." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the prince to speak, the girl ran to the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman, and made a comparison.
Soon after, the girl came back and said, "The grandmother said that she will not accept cash, as long as the two sons do not dislike it, they will stay at my house at night." ”
The prince said happily: "This is very good, Fengzhi, we will soon clean up this land." ”
Xie Shence shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying in his heart that this is not what I want.
However, it had only been less than a quarter of an hour since the two of them buried themselves in the harvest, and the prince was either anxious or really tired, so he actually cut his hand with a knife, and immediately bled profusely.
Xie Shence was taken aback, and hurriedly helped the prince to the pergola, and then took out the hemostatic medicine from the horse's bag and put it on. The girl was so frightened that she almost cried as she bandaged the prince.
The prince didn't take this little thing to heart, and after the girl walked away, he said: "I didn't expect that a small matter would make this palace like this." Now that I think about it, a little bit of a meal is not easy to come by. ”
Xie Shence smiled: "Your Highness has a heart." This time, the minister was still ill-thinking, so that His Highness was injured, a big crime, and asked His Highness to punish him. ”
The prince waved his bandaged hand and said, "Where you can say that you can sin something, what punishment will be punished." This palace also wants to thank you, if it weren't for you, how would you know the hard work of this people. ”
"When I was young, my father took the palace to inspect Shandong Road, the palace was stubborn, rode a horse and trampled on the wheat field, was scolded by my father, and was punished not allowed to eat dinner. Now that I think about it, after all, it was Hongu who was wrong. ”
Xie Shence sighed: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the world, and he is fortunate to be aware of the suffering of the people. His Highness will ascend the throne in the future, and it will certainly be the same. ”
The prince was moved, looked at Xie Shence and said, "Fengzhi, this trip to the south, the biggest harvest of this palace is your words." ”
Xie Shence smiled: "I dare not be ashamed." ”
The prince's hand was injured, so naturally he couldn't continue, and Xie Shence just happened to be relieved of the hard work and accompanied the prince to talk. The girl confessed, and then went to clean up the mess left by Xie Shence and the prince, trying to collect more before dark.
The little boy was under the big tree on the side, looking at the two horses stupidly, wanting to go up and touch them but didn't dare, so tangled. In fact, since the morning when the prince and Xie Shence came, he didn't let go of his eyes except for eating.
The prince saw this scene in his eyes and beckoned to him, and the little boy seemed quite close to the prince and Xie Shence because he had eaten a big duck leg at noon, so he ran over.
"Would you like to try it?"
"Yes!"
"But I'm hurt, I can't take you to play."
The little boy let out a frustrated sigh and lowered his head.
"And yet he could." The prince pointed to Xie Shence.
The little boy immediately became happy, and his big eyes winked at Xie Shence.
Xie Shence smiled bitterly, stood up, and said, "It's only two quarters of an hour." ”
"Uh-huh!" The little boy nodded excitedly. Don't say two quarters of an hour, even if it is a great joy to let him touch it.
The little donkey in his house, in addition to catching up with the pack and pack things, the grandmother takes care of it on weekdays like a bodhisattva, the baby is tight, and he was sick last time he went to the city before he sat back.
Xie Shence helped the little boy up to the snow horse, and then took the reins and walked slowly with him, and later held him on the field road and galloped, making the child scream happily.
This scene made the croppers working in the fields stop their work and watch.
The strong man watched his cub scream happily on the horse he had only seen in his life, and his heart was happy, worried and envious.
I haven't ridden a horse myself, and it's still such a beautiful high-headed horse, even the mount of General Suzhou that I saw by chance on the side of the road last time is not as good-looking as this.
However, even the last time General Suzhou's mount, he knelt on the side of the road at that time, and only dared to look up.
The middle-aged woman did not look at her son and horse like her own man, but looked at her daughter.
The girl watched her brother cry out excitedly on his horse, and a smile appeared on her face. I thought that in addition to my brother, there was finally a second person in the family who had ridden a horse.
However, most of her eyes were still focused on the man standing on the ridge at sunset. For the first time, she didn't want the tired day to end quickly.
When the middle-aged woman saw this, she sighed, shook her head, and then pulled the middle-aged man and continued to reap.
(ps: The name of the chapter accompanying the prince to the grassroots level is actually not very consistent, I originally wanted to call it "The Man in the Sunset", but I remembered the feeling of making a bicycle bar when I was a child, so I decisively changed it.) Plus, having a crush is really a hard and beautiful thing. )
