Chapter 5: Farming in the White Hour, First Information

But the strange thing is that there are no external injuries on the man's body, and there are no weapons in the surrounding area, not even a trace of blood. Even the grass next to it is not the slightest clutter, this is obviously not the first scene, it seems to appear out of thin air.

Although He Qingqing was puzzled, He Qingqing still took the man home.

There are no scars on the man's body, but he is poisoned in his body, and this poison may be very tricky for people in this world, but for He Qingqing, it is trivial. Although He Qingqing is still an intern, she has an A+ in every subject in her university courses.

So for He Qingqing, a high-achieving student, this is not a big problem.

The big problem is that the man has not woken up since then, which makes He Qingqing very puzzled. The man's body is very vigorous, and it stands to reason that the man should be awake, but in fact, the man has been asleep for some unknown reason.

Until one afternoon, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and then sat up vigorously.

If it weren't for He Qingqing's belief that the man had been asleep all the time, she really thought he was pretending.

It's just that after the man woke up, He Qingqing faced another problem, that is, the man had amnesia.

He Qingqing was a little shocked for a while, and even wondered if he had encountered those plots that he often encountered in novels. Travel to a strange place - pick up a wounded man - the man has amnesia - the two fall in love - the man regains his memory - and start the road to supremacy.

This obvious heroine's plot was actually encountered by herself???

He Qingqing's mood was very complicated, and according to the routines of those novels, he gave the man's clothes when he was unconscious to the man, hoping that the man could find any information.

Sure enough, there was a word written on the jade pendant that the man was wearing: Shi.

When the man saw this word, a sense of familiarity crossed his heart, and he felt inexplicably happy.

He Qingqing thought about the brain circuits of the authors of those novels, and they must have given the names of the male and female protagonists very domineering and rare. So the word "Shi" must be a surname.

So He Qingqing called the man Shi Gongzi.

When Shi Gongzi heard this title, joy flashed in his heart, but his face remained silent. Shi Gongzi has a sharp appearance and does not smile, so he really can't see what he thinks in his heart.

Because Shi Gongzi had amnesia, he temporarily lived in He's house.

But He Qingqing was curious about the wonder of the man. I thought to myself, this can't be some kind of plot power, right?

In fact, if you compare the time when the man wakes up with the white time, you will find that the man only wakes up after the white time wakes up.

But He Qingqing and Shi Gongzi didn't know this, they got along in harmony for the time being, and Shi Gongzi slowly adapted to life here.

……

Because summer is coming, it is the time for people to be busy in the fields, the main thing is to turn the soil, sow seeds, sprinkle water, etc., so that the land does not dry up in the summer, and also allows the spring to plant and have a good harvest in the autumn.

The land of the Chu family is rented from the landlord, and the family not only has to rely on this field to eat, but also has to pay rent, which can be said to be a tight life.

The beginning of April, the beginning of July, the beginning of October, and the end of December are the days for collective rent collection.

This collective rent collection means that the landlord will send people to visit the house before these days to remind the tenant that the rent is about to be collected. That is, these four days are the days when the whole village pays the rent, and the other months are paid according to the days stipulated when the land was leased before.

And now it's almost early April, but the Chu family's rent has not been completed.

The main thing is that a lot of medicinal materials were spent on treating Bai Shi, and during Bai Shi's coma, the two sisters of the Chu family took care of Bai Shi at home and did not go to work in the fields with him. Coupled with the fact that there is one more person to eat, the expenses of the family gradually increase.

Originally, Chu Junzhu left some medicinal herbs at home just to take them to the county seat to exchange money to make up the rent, but because of the treatment of Bai Shi, there were not many medicinal materials left, and they were replaced when he went to the county seat before, and most of the money was used to buy some needs for life, and there was not much left.

And now is the season of sowing, naturally there is no food, and the family has not much food, so there is no rent until now.

For this reason, Chu Junzhu was a little annoyed, and he was very upset when he saw Bai Shi - not only did he not get medical treatment fees, but he also posted a lot.

Chu Junzhu became more and more sad.

At the dinner table in the evening, Chu Junzhu told his plan.

"Tomorrow I will go to pick some herbs and take them to the county town to exchange money and make up enough rent, you go to work in the fields, and I will come back before collecting the rent." Chu Junzhu said what he thought.

The two sisters of the Chu family nodded sensibly, and did not make a fuss to prevent Chu Junzhu from going out.

Dinner is a little dull, because tomorrow Chu Junzhu will go out.

Early the next morning, everyone got up, Chu Qiulan cooked for everyone, and put some of the cakes she made yesterday in the package for Chu Junzhu to bring.

Chu Qiuxue clamored for Chu Junzhu to hug, Chu Qiulan pursed her lips on the side, her eyes were also full of longing, but she didn't speak.

Chu Junzhu hugged both, kissed his forehead, shook his hand at the three of them, and left.

"Daddy just left, and I miss him." Chu Qiuxue's voice was muffled, looking ahead, there was no longer Chu Junzhu's figure there.

"Alright. I'm going to get to work later. Chu Qiulan blocked Chu Qiuxue's sight, turned her body around, and went to the house to get a hoe.

The two sisters took Bai Shi to their field, and along the way they saw many of the same people also going to work in the fields. Dressed in sackcloth, with a hoe on his shoulder, a piece of cloth around his neck, a bamboo tube hanging from his waist with water in it, and a small package in his other hand, which was today's dry food. When a few people meet them, they will say hello, they are the sisters of the Chu family, and someone also greets them. When asked who Bai Shi was, the two sisters of the Chu family said that they were distant cousins, and they all looked at Bai Shi with curiosity and amazement in their eyes.

This is the first time Bai Shi went out, looking at the staggered paths and neat fields, some of the fields already have a lot of small green seedlings, swaying in the early morning wind, but also with dew, shaking their heads, the wind blows is a large area, very lovely.

Bai Shi and his party soon arrived in the Chu family's field.

The land is not large, half of it has been turned over, and the remaining half is covered with weeds and a lot of gravel, which is not a very fertile land.

The purpose of Bai Shi and his party is to turn over the rest of the land in two days.

At first, Bai Shi would not turn over the ground, and under the teaching of the two sisters of the Chu family, they quickly practiced this skill to the full level.

Because Bai Shi was the oldest of the three, Bai Shi pulled the plow in front, while the two sisters of the Chu family pushed and walked behind.

In the past, the two sisters of the Chu family would feel very laborious, because the people in the back would always unconsciously push down when pushing, and the place under the plough would always go further and further to the soil, deeper and deeper, and then it became more and more difficult to push, and the effort spent was very large, not only for the people in the back, but also for the people in front.

But this time it was relatively easy.

White keeps his balance in front and pulls hard, and when the plow is going deeper, he always pulls hard and then returns to the original track. The two sisters of the Chu family also found a pattern, and the cooperation between the three of them slowly became smoother.

Although there will inevitably be emergencies, they are all solved by Bai Shi.

Because the three of them worked together very well, it can be said that the efficiency is much higher, and half of the soil was turned over in the morning alone, and the two sisters of the Chu family were very proud.

At the same time, the performance of the dialogue is also dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Bai Shi to look very weak, but his strength was so great.

Indeed, pulling the plough must be strong, not only to turn the soil, but also to deal with other situations, without great force it is not possible.

The people in the surrounding fields also went to rest under the trees one after another, took out dry food and began to eat, and several people began to chat with each other. There are also a few men who take off their shirts and tie them around their waists, and constantly wipe the sweat on their heads with the cloth around their necks, drink a few sips of water, and make a "ha" sound, obviously very happy.

The three of them also went to rest under a tree, and the three of them planned to turn over the remaining half of the soil in one go. Thinking about what would have been two days of work. Now that it's a day, I'm very excited.

While the three of them were eating dry food and enjoying the coolness, a woman came over.

The women also wore linen clothes, with patches, and dark skin, but with good features and a sincere smile on their faces. But when the woman approached, the two sisters of the Chu family subconsciously frowned.

The woman handed them the bread in her hand and asked the two sisters of the Chu family, "What about your father?" ”

"Daddy went to collect medicinal herbs." Chu Qiuxue returned and did not take the woman's bread.

"What is this?" The woman looked at Bai Shi and asked the Chu family sisters.

"Distant cousin." Chu Qiuxue frowned, she didn't like this aunt's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"Oh. It's really handsome. The woman was a little sneering, and saw the dislike of the two sisters of the Chu family, so she put the cake in her hand in Chu Qiuxue's arms and left.

The people around looked at this scene and spoke one after another.

"Widow Zhang, are you going to ask Doctor Chu about it?"

"Yes, why are you just staring at this Doctor Chu?"

"What does this make Da Zhuang think?"

……

The crowd looked at the women with a smile.

The women didn't feel ashamed, they asked what they answered, and they smiled.

"What, no?"

"What's the matter with this big strong?"

"It's you, your man went to Li Chunhua again, right?"

The two sides exchanged a few words, and slowly the topic shifted, no longer making fun of women.

The women straightened their hair, ate bread under the tree, and paid no attention to the crowd.

Some of the surrounding women gathered together, quietly spitting, scolding not to talk, fox. Then another topic was added.

The topic is that people from other villages will come to the village soon after.

Two villages and one village.

"What's coming? That's all there is to it, let's drink the northwest wind? A strong man bit the dry food in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Hey, I've heard that there will be a few rich people." Another man drank water and mysteriously said to the surroundings.

"Really?" The people around him turned their heads to look at the man.

"Isn't it?" The man said slowly, "I've thought about it, I'm going to find a family to be a family, and the money will come faster than farming." ”

"If there is such a good thing, then I will go too!" The people around are talking.

"You think it's so good? Are you literate? Do you know the rules? Do you really think anyone can be it? Another strong man hit mercilessly.

"Ahh And these requirements? Isn't it all hard work? ”

"Strength work? Give you such a high monthly money, you can dream. ”

"But who would want to be a housekeeper in this scholar?"

"No, that Mr. Yuan......"

After that, the surrounding voices became quieter, and they were quickly overshadowed by another topic.

Bai Shi listened quietly to their discussion.

Two villages into one?

That's not a good thing, is something going on?

"This cake is delicious." Chu Qiuxue made a sound, and the cake she ate was exactly what Widow Zhang had just given.

"You want to have an extra brother, don't you?" Chu Qiulan said angrily.

"But...... It's really delicious. Chu Qiuxue's voice was weak, and she continued to take a bite.

Chu Qiulan snorted, "It's just to lie to a fool like you." He also took a bite of the bread given by Widow Zhang, thinking to himself, this is not to eat for nothing.

Bai Shi learned from the explanations of the two sisters that this widow Zhang often came to Chu Junzhu and sent some cakes to the two sisters of the Chu family, and Chu Junzhu would lend some of his books to Widow Zhang as a thank you. Because she raised a child alone and was a scholar, she was going to the imperial examination in the fall.

Although Widow Zhang has a bad reputation in the village, she is very good for her children. A woman works in the fields, stabs handkerchiefs, cooks, and goes to the landlord's house as a helper to earn some money to support her son.
