Chapter 43 Work in the Fields Together
Leaving Huangji Town, the road is full of continuous farmland, and the fields are full of rare farmers.
The little civet cat poured the last drop of water from the kettle, looked at the big sun overhead and frowned: "This is still 108,000 miles away from the desert, why is it so anxious, there is no water." ”
Mo Shaozhi grabbed the reins of the horse and turned around and said: "There really is no water source around here, and the river has dried up, so it is estimated that it has not rained here for too long." ”
"Xiao Maotou, brother, do you want to drink wine here?" Bai Qingli smiled evilly.
"Yes, you give me a drink!" The little tanuki was not provoked by him.
Gao Lan hurriedly stopped: "Ai, Brother Bai, the little civet cat is still a doll, and he can't drink!" ”
Bai Qingqing smiled and said: "Little Lanlan, I teased that little ghost, you still take it seriously, even if he is not a doll, I am reluctant to give him wine." ”
The little tanuki pouted at him: "Stingy! ”
Gao Lan took out his water bottle and threw it to the little civet cat: "That's all left, you save some drink." ”
"It's still childe who is good to me." The little tanuki grinned and took it and walked forward.
Mo Shaozhi said: "This is not always the way, you have to go to the neighborhood to find water." ”
Bai Qingqing said: "It's better to ask those farmers, and those who live nearby will always know where there is water." ”
The four dismounted, tied their horses to the side of the road, and walked towards an old farmer who was working in the distance.
When they got closer, they found the old farmer crying right there to the big black cow lying in the field.
Gao Lan was surprised, so he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what are you ......?"
The old man looked up at them at this time, and the old man burst into tears: "My little black can't get up......"
Mo Shaozhi leaned over to look at the cow lying on the ground, got up for a while, and sighed slightly: "Uncle, this cow is too old, I'm afraid it's ......."
The little civet cat looked at the cow's big mournful eyes, with some pity, and instantly took Gao Lan's hand and begged for comfort.
The old man wiped his tears and got up: "Alas! I also know that Xiao Hei has been with me all my life, and it has taken a lifetime of hard work, but I can't stand it. ”
As he spoke, the old cow slowly closed his eyes......
The old man leaned over and gently stroked its body, infinitely sad.
After a while, he said: "I am tired of a few little boys, I can help the old farmer bury this little black in the field, and it can still accompany me when I farm in the future." ”
Mo Shaozhi said: "Okay." ”
Soon, several people buried the old cow.
Bai Qingqing asked: "Uncle, there is a water source near here, and a few of us passed by to beg for water." ”
The old man sighed lightly: "Recently, this day has been very dry, and the rivers around here have dried up, but you come with me." ”
Several people followed the old man for almost a few dozen steps, and came to a big tree, where the old man removed the weeds and soon revealed a well.
"Ha, there's a well hidden here." The little tanuki surprises.
"I don't tell ordinary people that I gave you a drink because you are all kind-hearted people." The old man said, threw down the bucket on the side, and after a while, pulled up a bucket of water.
A few people drank heartily, and the little tanuki filled their water bags to the brim.
After thanking the old man, several people were about to leave.
Gao Lan glanced back, the old man in the field was struggling to pull the plow to plow the field, and he had no old cows......
Gao Lan's heart suddenly felt pity.
Mo Shaozhi saw that Gao Lan was stunned, so he glanced at it and understood: "It's better for us to help him." ”
The old man was surprised to see that the people who were supposed to leave had come back again.
The little tanuki ran over: "Uncle, let's help you plow the ground." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly refused: "You are all rich and noble sons at first glance, where is it good for you to spend this hard work, no, no." ”
While he and the little civet cat were pushing, Mo Shaozhi had already begun to lean over and pull up his trouser legs, and Bai Qingli was also rolling up his cuffs.
Gao Lanwan smiled: These handsome boys, watching them do farm work should also have a unique flavor.
After thinking about it, she began to prepare to pull up her trouser legs, but before she could bend over, she suddenly felt an arm pull her.
Turning his head, he didn't know when Mo Shaozhi was already beside him.
I only heard him say softly: "You and the little tanuki don't go to the ground, Bai Qingqing and I are enough." ”
Gao Lan heard it: "Then how can it be done, but you Young Master Mo, I guess you haven't done any farm work, I'm afraid it's-"
"What are you two doing, come and help me pull this plow." Bai Qingqing was already standing barefoot in the field, shouting in this direction.
When Gao Lan heard this, he put down Mo Shaozhi and pulled his arm, kicked his two shoes, and ran happily: "It's coming, it's coming." ”
Mo Shaozhi frowned slightly, smiled lightly for a while.
He was more and more fond of this beautiful, simple, warm-hearted woman.
Bai Qingqing looked like a person who had never been on the ground, and he hadn't ploughed for long, so he spread it on the ground in a few moments, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, how can working in the field be more tiring than fighting, let me rest." ”
Gao Lan stuck his waist and looked down on him with disdain: "You guy, why are you so wasteful!" I think you must be a gentleman, and you haven't suffered much at first glance. ”
Look at Mo Shaozhi over there, he is swinging a hoe to turn over the ground, and in a short time, the blockbuster has been completed.
The little tanuki danced and praised: "Brother Mo, awesome! Bai Qingqing, look at what Brother Mo looks like. ”
Bai Qingqing turned his head bitterly, raised his eyebrows, and sighed in a low voice: "This Mo Shaozhi is really a talent......
Gao Lan brushed away his sweat and turned his head to look at him.
is really meticulous Young Master Mo, even doing farm work so freely.
couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Mo, which girl can marry you in the future, it's really a blessing." ”
The old man also walked over with a smile and handed over the water: "Yes, this Mo Gongzi, it's really happy." ”
Mo Shaozhi straightened his waist at this time, wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, took the bowl, and smiled at Gao Lan: "I'm afraid that any girl is late, has Brother Gao forgotten my promise in front of Aunt Xue!" With that, he raised his head and drank water.
Gao Lan thought of that, and instantly felt a little ashamed, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to work in a muffled voice.
Seeing this, Mo Shaozhi felt more and more cute about her.
Gao Lan thought to himself: This Mo Shaozhi is really joking. Alas, he shouldn't have said that he liked men at that time, and he was afraid that this stalk would be spoiled by him.
For a long time, I only listened to Bai Qingpi's joke without smiling: "I said the eldest young master of the Mo family, you really impress me, you will also do this farm work?" I'm afraid it's needlework and embroidery, so you can't do it! ”
Mo Shaozhi returned the bowl to the old man: "On the Mo family's Jinfeng Yulu Mountain, a lot of herbs are planted, and I am personally taking care of them, and the difference between this medicinal herb and the crop is not much, so ......"
"So that's the case, no wonder, I thought Brother Mo was a pampered young master." Bai Qingqing took out the flask and took a sip.
