Chapter 135: Martial Arts
The rice has entered the withering and ripening period, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, looking at the golden earth, Shen Zhong was happy and anxious in his heart, his hair was several gray, and he was anxious to turn and grind. Fifty acres of paddy fields, if no one can be found to harvest them, will the grain rot in the ground?
The dry land at home is planted with corn, but there is no hurry, Jixiang and his mother-in-law have already started to work, and it will not take two days to pull the corn back.
Xiao Xia was also anxious when he looked at it, it was food, and he definitely couldn't look at it. After dinner, he called Uncle Qing over, as an official, if this thing worries the master, what use do you want him.
"Letting you follow my dad is not as simple as running errands, you are responsible for what happened in Pingtou Village last time. If you can't solve a problem, what's the use of you? ”
"I know my mistake, please punish the young lady." Uncle Qing lowered his head and sweated on his forehead. In fact, when I first came to this house, I knew at a glance that it was a small farmer who had just stood up, and the male owner still grew up in a field to dig food, and he was not as strong as him! He has been in charge of several shops, and he feels that he is a bit overkill here, and he doesn't care about things. But the last time I saw the ruthlessness of the second girl, he had a very worried life for the past two days, and his heart was weak!
"The matter of harvesting rice in Pingtou Village will be handed over to you, and if you do it well, you will make up for it, and if you don't do it well, you don't have to stay here anymore."
"I have a way." Uncle Qing hurriedly spoke, although it is not as decent as a large family here, but it is a first-class good for the slaves, they eat whatever the master eats, and this kind of treatment is not available to the entire Kyushu Dynasty.
"Tell me about it." Shen Zhong's eyes lit up, she was still a good girl, she could solve things as soon as she opened her mouth, but he had been worried for several days.
"Money can make ghosts grind, let's spend more money to hire people in other villages, there will always be people willing to do it."
Xiao Xia thought the same and nodded. "This matter will be handed over to you, the silver can be settled daily, and you can watch and pay the wages. Remember to keep the account lightly, and you report it to me every night. ”
The matter in Pingtou Village finally came to an end, and Shen Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief, and in the days that followed, he went out early and returned late, and officially entered the autumn harvest.
On the third day of October, today is a single day, and Xiao Xia ran to Nanshan after eating early.
When she left the peach forest, she saw the person she wanted to see the most, the young man with a bow and arrow.
"Senior brother? Did you say you'd pick me up? Xiao Xia looked up and smiled, and her big eyes were as bright as stars.
Hu Qing turned around and left, Xiao Xia followed closely behind with two small short legs.
"Remember the way, I won't be here in the future."
"It turns out that my senior brother is really here to pick me up!"
Nanshan is so big that you can't walk it all in a day. Hu Qing's pace seemed to Xiao Xia to be very fast, but in fact, he had slowed down his pace as much as possible and accommodated the little girl behind him.
The two went around to the south of Nanshan, and when they looked south, there were still mountains one by one. Xiao Xia felt that he had walked for a long time, and after walking through a bamboo forest, he finally saw a clearing with two simple thatched huts on one side.
There were two bamboo chairs at the door of the thatched house, and two old men were sitting, one of whom was their master, and the other Xiao Xia guessed was Hu Qing's grandfather.
"It's too slow, you two look at the sky." The master took a sip of the weak tea in the cup, opened his mouth lightly, and did not see the meaning of blame at all in his expression, but was very leisurely.
Xiao Xia was happy in her heart, she had long wanted to come to Hu Qing's house to have a look, but she didn't expect that he would lead her here today, her little face turned red, and she called the master.
Xiao Xia hurriedly untied the package behind him, in fact, the package contained today's lunch for the three of them, but Xiao Xia turned it out of a small package, a piece of bacon, a roast chicken, and two boxes of snacks.
"This is Grandpa Hu! I don't know how to come here, suddenly disturbed, I didn't bring so many things, these are my little thoughts. Senior Brother Hu Qing helped me many times before, and I always wanted to come to the door to thank me, but I didn't find the opportunity. ”
Hu Qing's grandfather and Hu Qingchang really have no similarity, if you want to say that they are close, you don't believe it if you kill Shen Xiaoxia. This Grandpa Hu was blind in one left eye, and a big scar ran from his forehead through his left eye to his chin, and the scar was very deep, and that one must have almost killed him.
Grandpa Hu didn't say a word, didn't even look at Shen Xiaoxia from beginning to end, turned around and entered the thatched house, and closed the door heavily.
Xiao Xia glanced at Hu Qing and then at the master.
"Leave him alone, he's just got that temper." The master took another sip of tea and shut up again.
Xiao Xia deeply felt that in fact, no one here really welcomed her, she was ostracized, if she was thin-skinned and estimated that she would turn around and leave now, such an impulse in her heart flashed, but she still endured it. She still wants to learn martial arts! finally had such an opportunity, how could she simply give up, besides, this is also a good opportunity to contact Hu Qing, people have feelings, she doesn't believe that she can't cover a stone.
After an embarrassing silence, she finally got to the point, Xiao Xia has no foundation, the first day is a squatting horse step, until the sun is setting in the west, it is over, she feels that her legs are not her own, and then she has to walk a few miles of mountain road home, tomorrow she will not want to get up.
"Every day, I get up at midnight and squat for an hour."
Before Xiao Xia left, the master finally spoke again, and Xiao Xia returned a big smile.
"Knowing the master, I will come early the day after tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to eat? ”
What answered her was a distant back of the master, as for Hu Qing disappeared early in the morning, Xiao Xia pursed his lips and sighed again, complaining about Hu Qing in his heart, and he didn't know that the little junior sister who sent him was really a piece of wood.
When Xiao Xia came home, the whole village fell asleep, and in this era, as long as it was dark, it was time to sleep, and there was any nightlife there.
Xiao Xia quietly entered the courtyard, fortunately there was auspiciousness to open the door, but he didn't alarm his father and mother, and he was caught by Shen Xiaochun when he returned to the yard.
"Where have you been? Do you know what time it is? ”
"Shh......h Be quiet, dad and mom are asleep? ”
"Daddy and Mom have been asleep for a long time, can you let us save some snacks."
Xiao Xia dragged her tired body, she was really tired to the extreme, and leaned against the door frame. "Sister, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm too sleepy." After saying that, I sighed.
Koharu looked at Natsu's tired face and finally let her go.
As soon as the time came, Xiao Xia was woken up by the alarm clock under his pillow, picked it up and threw it into the space. Sit up and squint your eyes and look out the window, it's October, and the sun hasn't come out yet.
Xiao Xia waved his arm, it hurts, stretches his legs, it hurts, twists his waist, tired. She got up anyway, put on her clothes, and walked in her yard.
The people in the front yard got up one after another, the sound was still very quiet, and gradually the chimneys of the entire Shenjia Village began to smoke, and Xiao Xia tried to keep his attention off his legs.
"Second girl?" Feihua's voice almost scared Shen Xiaoxia to the ground.
"Second girl, what are you doing?"
