Chapter 128: Autumn
This time, Lu Yu carried Yan Xi'an into the valley on his back, and he didn't tie her to his back with a rope. Yan Xi'an has a lot of strength now, and he can hang firmly on Lu Yu's back, even when Lu Yu is jumping, his hands will not be slack.
Lu Yu likes this very much, every time he jumps, Yan Xi'an's body will be tightly attached to his back, and the shallow softness of his chest is very comfortable to touch Lu Yu. In order to be able to touch it a few more times, Lu Yu would even deliberately jump not so high every time, so that he could jump a few more times and reach the peak.
After entering the valley, Yan Xi'an slid off Lu Yu's back and said, "Uncle, you are very bad, I thought I didn't know what you wanted...... Thinking of something? My hands are sore. ”
"Well, it's me who's bad." Lu Yu originally wanted to repeat the old trick when she went back, but now she regretted it a little, Yan Xi'an's hands were sore, in case she didn't grasp it firmly on her back......
"Humph!" Yan Xi'an glared at Lu Yu, remembering Lu Yu's purpose just now, and her pretty face flushed. Lu Yu saw Yan Xi'an's pretty face blushing like a February flower, his heart moved, and finally he couldn't help but reach out and touch Yan Xi'an's face lightly.
Yan Xi'an didn't stop Lu Yu, but leaned his face over, and let Lu Yu's palm rub against his face. Lu Yu was both excited and happy, and gently held Yan Xi'an in his arms.
So that morning, the two didn't do any work, they hugged each other all the time, and they didn't separate for a moment. Standing and hugging tired, the two of them sat on the grass, sitting and hugging tired, then they still had to sit.
Before going back to eat at noon, Yan Xi'an asked Lu Yu: "Uncle, that wild man, where do you say she lives?" ”
"I don't know, why don't we quietly follow and have a look next time?"
Yan Xi'an thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, she is doing well in the mountains and forests, so we don't have to disturb others." Maybe it's because the wild man is a female, or maybe it's because the wild man can understand some words, Yan Xi'an actually has a slight affection for the wild man.
By the way, I caught two fish and went back, had lunch at home, and in the afternoon all five of them entered Anding Valley. This is what Lu Yu meant, he felt that if he and Yan Xi'an were in the valley, then he didn't want to do any work.
After a few busy days, Lu Yu began to soak rice seeds again. Now that Lu Yu has his own rice, he naturally doesn't need to go out to buy rice seeds, and when he soaked the seeds, he remembered Qin Zhongquan and the Tianhai Gang, and now there are many soldiers stationed in Jinhua City, and I don't know if Qin Zhongquan will have some conflicts with those sergeants.
But a few days later, Qin Zhongquan came to Lu Yu's house, and he told Lu Yu that he had taken some of his brothers to live in Jinhua City.
Lu Yu asked him, "Then what about your paddy fields on the other side of Pingze Lake?" ”
"Leaving the brothers to farm over there is the foundation for all of us to help our brothers save their lives, and we will not lose them." Qin Zhongquan smiled and said, "I plan to open a few stores in the city, and when I collect the grain, I will take it out and sell some." Otherwise, there will be no food to sell in the market, and those who have no land will starve to death. ”
"That's a good thing." Lu Yu listened to Qin Zhongquan's words, and couldn't help but be in awe, and said: "The Qin Gang Leader opened the shop first, and slowly there will definitely be people who will sell the uneaten grain on the market, and then the residents in the town will be able to buy food, which is a great thing with immeasurable merit." ”
Qin Zhongquan said with a smile: "Doing good deeds is one thing, and we can't just have food." If there is no food to buy and sell in the market, it will be difficult to do other trades, so I also want to do something to make the market buy and sell again. ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly, thinking: "Qin Zhongquan's ambition seems to be not small, it sounds like he wants to do something big." However, Lu Yu didn't care what Qin Zhongquan wanted to do, as long as he didn't bother himself and didn't hurt the heavens and reason. But Lu Yu thought again, now except for Jinhua City, most of the other towns have garrison maintenance order, it seems that the imperial court will soon send officials down, and at that time, Qin Zhongquan and his Tianhai Gang will still be allowed to exist?
At the beginning of September, more than five acres of paddy fields in Anding Valley were planted with seedlings, and Lu Yu now goes to the fields occasionally to take care of them in addition to herding sheep and growing vegetables. Andinggu is really a very suitable place for growing rice, with fertile soil and water, and flat terrain.
Late autumn is a good season for hunting, and early this morning, the hunting five-person group entered Yangshan again.
On the way into the mountain, Lao Gao asked Lu Yu: "Da Yu, why do you rarely put your sheep on the mountain?" ”
Lu Yu would often drive the goats into Anding Valley, Lao Gao naturally couldn't see it, he couldn't tell the truth, so he panicked: "The grass near the village is not reserved for you, so I will drive the sheep to another place and let them go." ”
"Hehe, there are so many turf on the edge of our village, which is not enough for us to add up to sixteen sheep to eat." Lao Gao said: "Da Yu, you must know a good place to herd sheep, I think your sheep are much bigger than mine." "Lao Gao is right, the grass in Anding Valley is fatter, and the eight sheep of Lu Yu's family are indeed bigger and fatter.
"There's no such thing, not everyone eats the same grass."
Lao Gao ignored Lu Yu and asked Yan Xiding: "Where is Xiding, where does your Uncle Da Yu go to herd sheep every day?" ”
"Uncle Da Yu? He didn't herd sheep. Yan Xiding was talking nonsense, and said: "I went to herd sheep, Uncle Da Yu always took me to my sister, I don't know what to do." The latter sentence is not that Yan Xi deliberately made fun of Lu Yu, he really thought so, and he was often upset that Lu Yu took his sister out without taking himself.
Lao Gao and Lu Di laughed at the same time, and Lao Gao asked again: "Xiding, do you know what the two of them often go out for?" ”
Yan Xiding shook his head: "I don't know, they didn't take me again." ”
Yan Xi'an blushed instantly, if it weren't for Lao Gao and Lu Di, she would definitely scold her brother, but now because of her weak heart, she only scolded lightly: "Nonsense." ”
Lu Yu smiled generously and didn't say anything. He knew that Lao Gao Ludi and the two were not stupid, and they would definitely be able to see some of their relationship with Yan Xi'an. It's just that the young Yan Xiding has always been stupid and doesn't understand at all.
Only a few pheasants and hares were hunted in the morning, and there was a fox. The fox doesn't have much meat, and hunts it back for its fur. I don't know from which day onwards, every time Lu Yu sees a prey, he strives to kill him with a knife, and he doesn't want the poor prey to be tortured more.
At noon, the five of them roasted two pheasants as vegetables and ate dry food.
During the meal, Lu Yu suddenly thought of Lao Gao's "food crisis", so he asked him: "Lao Gao, is your family still enough food to eat?" ”
"That's enough, I've harvested a lot of sweet potatoes this year."
Lu Yu nodded, and said, "That thing is too unpalatable, why don't I exchange corn or something for sweet potatoes with you?" ”
"Then you have to suffer a lot, you can eat sweet potatoes, so you don't need to change it."
"yes, sweet potatoes are delicious." Yan Xiding can be said to be very fond of sweet potatoes, he said: "Uncle Gao, if you have a lot of sweet potatoes, just exchange some with us, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”
Lao Gao thought that Yan Xiding was also as kind as Lu Yu, touched his head, and said with a smile: "The young man has a conscience, I won't change it with you." ”
"No, you can change a little." Yan Xi must be really in a hurry.
Lu Yu also said: "Lao Gao, let's change some, one pound for one pound, you don't suffer, and I won't be fooled." ”
Lao Gao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "That's okay." Then I thank you so much. ”
Lu Yu smiled, but Yan Xiding thought: "Obviously, we exchanged corn for delicious sweet potatoes, why does Uncle Gao still thank us?" ”
There was no big harvest from this day's hunting, and the three families each received a pheasant and two hares, and the fox was given to Lu Di, whose daughter was still young, and the fox could give her a winter coat.
In the evening, Lu Yu moved about 500 catties of corn to exchange for similar sweet potatoes with Lao Gao. Lao Gao was naturally very grateful, but Lu Yu really didn't feel that he was at a loss, on the one hand, Yan Xiding liked to eat this thing, and on the other hand, compared to other grains, sweet potatoes were more convenient to take out and give away. During that time, in order to send food out, all the rags and clothes that Lu Yu's family did not wear were sewn into small cloth bags.
There was steamed sweet potatoes for dinner, and this time instead of cutting the sweet potatoes into pieces and cooking them together in rice, a whole sweet potato was washed and pureed, and steamed in a rice pot, for a total of three.
The three sweet potatoes add up to almost two catties, and they were eaten by Yan Xiding alone. So in the evening, Lu Yu said that he was going to the town to deliver food, but Yan Xiding couldn't go together because he was too uncomfortable to eat.
After nightfall, Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an went to the town with a big bag of sweet potatoes and a small bag of vegetables and vegetables, because the town was now guarded by Shan Tianfang and his group of soldiers, so it was not easy for Lu Yu to swagger around the rooftops at will.
The two of them still went to the young brother and sister's house first, and went to the broken courtyard, but Lu Yu didn't hear the sound of anyone in the house. Lu Yu's heart tightened, and he said to Yan Xi'an: "They don't seem to be at home?" ”
"Not at home? Where did that go? Did you go to Shan Tianfang and them? ”
"Perhaps, I hope I've gone there." Lu Yu was a little worried about the brother and sister.
Lu Yu went into the house through the window again to take a look, and in the darkness he saw that the room was empty, only a dilapidated wooden bed and two old stools, and nothing else, not even the dishes and chopsticks. Lu Yu was a little relieved, thinking that the two children must have moved away with their "belongings", otherwise the house would not be so clean.
The two went to the next house, outside the house of the grandparents and grandchildren.
There is someone in this house, it is the grandfather and grandson. During that time, Lu Yu sent a lot of food to this family before and after, including sweet potatoes, corn and rice, and it is estimated that he can eat it until now.
The little boy will not stay at the window every day, Lu Yu walked out of the window and hid his breath, there are no stars and moons in the sky, even if there are people in the house, it is difficult to see him.
Lu Yu took out a few sweet potatoes, pushed open the window, and gently threw them in, but the movement still woke up the grandparents and grandchildren in the house. Before they found out, Lu Yu threw another pumpkin and a few Chinese cabbages into it. Then he and Yanxi hid on the hill (side of the house) of the house, wanting to hear the movement in the house.
