Chapter 212: The Old Man's Words (1)
There are more acres of land than other people's fields, and in my spare time, I will come to your field to help take care of it.
And all I did was hoe the fields, collect food, and prepare for this heavy rain that would fall at an unknown time.
Of course, in the past few days, everyone in Zhuqing Village is like this!
Just like at this moment, when you look at it, you can see the busy figures of the people of Zhuqing Village in this farmland!
As I also went down to the field, I would habitually call me Brother Fang, and then bury my head in the work at hand, I would also nod in response, and then I would join in this farm work.
It's Xiao Jiu and Youfei's younger brother, most of the two of them are chasing after me, doing things while playing.
Occasionally, Xiao Jiu would come over and chat with us for a few words, and then he would slip away again, which also added some cheerful atmosphere to everyone.
But it is also strange to say, since he died in Mengxi that night, in the days that followed, I don't know if it was my delusion, I always felt that there was a sense of indifference and alienation from me.
Is it because he learned about his wife's inhuman affairs?
Or is it because of my different status?
I couldn't guess what was going on in his mind, and I didn't ask him why.
In my eyes, he was the most special boy I've ever met, and I thought he'd tell me why, if I had to.
Therefore, I didn't ask much, I was still me, a person with a Qin soul, and also Brother Fang in their eyes!
Because of the help of me and Xiao Jiu, we quickly finished the work in the farm during this day, and when we packed up our tools and went back, the sky gradually became gloomy and dark.
In fact, we all know that this is only the time when the sun sets on weekdays, but because of the dark clouds in the sky, it seems to be a late night scene at the moment!
At this moment, with the return of the family, Xiao Jiu and I also said goodbye to them and returned to Mengxi's residence.
The old man was taking care of the fertile field, and in this season, the grain and fruits were actually ripe, and it happened that the dark clouds in the sky were causing everyone to worry that the heavy rain would destroy the crops, so the old man, like everyone else, hoarded the food early.
It's just that Mengxi's fields are too big, there is too much food, and a lot of grain and fruits are piled up in front of the house by the old man.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu is seeing the old
Han looked at a loss, and asked forward, "Dad, what's wrong with you, putting on a face?" ”
"How do you kid talk!"
The old man glared at Xiao Jiu, who was unabashed, and when he saw that I also came to the two of them, he said.
"I'm thinking about how Mr. Meng took care of this field at the beginning, there is so much food here, it took me almost six days to pick the grain myself, but I only cleaned up half of the grain here, you said that Mr. Meng is older than me, how did he take care of this field by himself?"
The old man's words made Xiao Jiu and I tacitly glance at each other, and seeing that Xiao Jiu was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to answer, so I responded to the old man.
"Isn't there still a girl with aquatic plants, listening to Meng Xi, aquatic plants can be flexible in doing things."
"yes, yes, daddy." Xiao Jiu also echoed!
The old man thought about it, and it seemed that it was the same, so he didn't ask too much.
After a while, I saw the old man put down the fruit he had picked and said to us: "There is something I still want to discuss with you, you see that there is too much food here, and we can't eat much with water and grass, and Mr. Meng also instructed us to help everyone before he died, so I thought, we might as well divide all the food and leave some enough for us to eat, what do you think?" ”
When the old man said the end, he mainly looked at me, which made it difficult for me to understand the old man's intentions for a while!
Because everything here was transferred by Mengxi to the old man, what the old man wanted to do with it was all up to him to decide, why would he take my opinion into account?
I didn't think much about it, and when I saw the old man asking, I replied!
"Of course this is good, there are many poor families in Zhuqing Village, and it is really a blessing for everyone to have such a generous help as Uncle You."
"Really?"
The old man smiled faintly, which made me scratch my head, and then he said to Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, you go to the village and let everyone come here to get food, just say that Mr. Meng left it for everyone." ”
"Daddy, I just came back, and you want me to run again?"
Xiao Jiu pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction, but seeing that the old man slapped his head again, Xiao Jiu walked away in disgrace!
"Let's go inside." After Xiao Jiu left, the old man said to me.
The old man is deliberately opening Xiao Jiu, does he have something to say to me?
I was stunned for a moment, and when I saw that the old man had already entered the house, I glanced in the direction of Xiao Jiu, and then walked up with the old man.
Aquatic grass that girl headband
Xiao Hei didn't know where to go, at this moment, the old man and I were in the room, this is the first time in so long that the old man and I sat face to face, for a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy and solemn, and between the two of us, it was as if waiting for someone to break the oppressive atmosphere first!
"Brother Fang, although I don't know what your purpose is when you come to our Zhuqing Village, I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, I have seen people outside the bazaar, but the way you speak and your behavior make me feel that you are not like a person here!"
The old man looked at me, as if he wanted to see something in my eyes, but apart from the flash of astonishment in my eyes, the old man could not see anything in me.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
I asked, pretending not to know!
To be honest, it would be false to say that I wasn't surprised, maybe it was the change in Qin's soul that made me hide my surprise well.
At the same time, I thought that for so long, the old man has never let down his guard against me!
"Brother Fang, I know you are very smart, although I am old, but I am not stupid, I saved you at the stream, but I was a kind act, in fact, I saw you and the fox's closeness at that time, but at that time, I couldn't believe that a white fox would drag you up from the stream, but at that time, I also thought about it more, so I picked up the stick and drove the fox away."
When the old man said this, he paused, and said: "It's just that the more I think about it later, the more wrong it becomes, and you said that you accidentally stumbled and fell down because you were hunting from the mountain opposite the stream. ”
When the old man said this, the meaning of his words was actually very clear!
He saw through my lie, he knew I was lying, and I was pretending to be confused, which was just a joke for the old man!
I didn't answer the old man, I just looked at him like that, because he was right, I was lying.
"Hey, Brother Fang, I know that you are not an ordinary person, and I can also see that you don't look like a bad person at heart..."
After a long time, the old man stood up and slowly walked outside the house.
When he stepped towards the threshold, the old man's deep voice came: "I don't know what your purpose is, but Xiao Jiu and Youfei are both simple children, I don't want you to take them badly, and I also hope that you won't do anything to hurt everyone in Zhuqing Village." ”
