Chapter 4: Flee quickly
The autumn breeze is rising, there are golden wheat near Shangrao Village, and the old people in the village always say: the white dew is early, the cold dew is late, and the autumn equinox wheat is just in time.
Xie Rao has been here for two years, the new wheat is ripe, the function of the bread kiln is also familiar in the summer, and it is another afternoon, the people in the village who are not busy with farm work gather in the Xie Rao courtyard to drink tea, Xie Rao let the summer bake cakes and some game, and each villager has an entrance fee, that is, two bundles of firewood.
At first, Xie Rao wanted to build a bread kiln, because a blogger she liked very much had made a video, and she was just painting a scoop based on a gourd, but she didn't expect this thing to be such a waste of fuel, and it took about three hours to preheat it at a time, and she couldn't wait to burn all her firewood for three days at one time, and the stove was not yet hot, and then she couldn't help it, so she tossed for half a month to thicken the bread kiln, and then built a shed for it to keep warm.
Every time I look at the bread kiln in the summer, and then look at the house I live in, I can't help but sigh that this strange-looking stove is better than what she lives in.
Since the transformation of the bread kiln, Xie Rao's life has made a qualitative leap, of course, the first dead dough baked bun, although there are some sandwiched raw, but it has been praised in the summer, after all, there is oil, and the working people still like it.
After many experiments, Xie Rao finally succeeded in conquering Summer with scones and baguettes, so she helped Summer wrap her injured hand from chopping wood, and at the same time encouraged Summer to turn into a small girl and invite the villagers to come to her house to try it.
After a round of free tastings and half a month of aroma attack, when Xia and Xie Rao's hands were almost wasted because of chopping firewood, the villagers began to come over one after another to add firewood, which led to the weekly Xie family tea party.
Through these tea parties, Xie Rao also successfully discovered all the secrets of this village, and by the way, she found out many aspects of the era she lived in, which she could not understand in the summer.
Now it is the 47th year of Gongbo, Shangrao Village belongs to the Yu State, the Yu State is in the middle, the capital is Yingzhou, the country is surnamed Gongbo, there is Qi State in the east, Chengguo in the west, Li Country in the south, and Zhuang Country in the north.
The five countries were one, and then separated, each for its own government, but after the war the vitality was greatly damaged, the people were not happy, so they signed an agreement of a hundred years without war, who promised to think that the lord of Qi was mediocre, and actually attacked Zhuang because of a dream, Zhuang Guoben and Yu were in-laws, and joined forces to defeat Qi State, since then Qi State has been in a slump, and the most favored prince was also sent to Yu State as a proton.
The war did not affect the country, the political situation was stable, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and at the same time let the country open the trade road to various countries, the economic situation was very good, and all walks of life were thriving.
Xie Rao from Yingzhou Xie family, it is rumored that the people of Yu do not know the Son of Heaven, but all know the Xie family, the Xie family is an official under 10,000 people, business shops all over the world, the third son of the Xie family began to run the business at the age of 10, began to expand business to other countries at the age of 13, and took over all the businesses of Yuguo, Qi and Zhuang at the age of 17, and at the age of 20 has made the Xie family shop famous all over the world.
Half a year ago, it was approved by the king of Miaozhuang, and opened up a commercial street in Zhending to buy land, which was funded by the Xie family, and the establishment of a good Xie family business occupied 4 percent, and some shops were rented to other businessmen, only need to pay rent on a monthly basis, each industry has a share, complete functions, unique design, regularly prepare lantern exhibitions, open performances, and attract people.
Knowing this, Xie Rao admired this legendary "brother" in his heart, a business wizard, although this model reminded her of Mr. W Jianlin of Wan X Plaza, but she still admired him very much, and this dynasty knew how to buy land and speculate houses.
With such a rich brother, she didn't have a chance to hug her thighs, which is a pity.
The sky is raining, the autumn rain is particularly cold, Xie Rao shrank his head, Xu is a little tired from harvesting wheat recently, and he has not been well when he got cold not long ago, so he called the summer to prepare a stove for her, and after washing himself, he looked up and saw a lightning bolt, before he could react, the thunder was rolling, and Xie Rao's heart was chilled, it seemed that he had a fever, as soon as the quilt was covered, his consciousness began to be unconscious, and he didn't want to wake up, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and someone covered her with a quilt in a trance, and a warm stove, She hugged her tightly, and after a while, she began to sweat.
Her head was getting heavier and heavier, and she felt that her body was constantly descending, and the feeling of weightlessness made her wake up suddenly, Xie Rao sat up in a panic and shouted "Mom, I'm so thirsty" to the door.
suddenly realized that she didn't have a "mother" in this "world", she was already unwell, and now she was even more aggrieved, and then shouted for the summer in the next room.
Xie Rao wiped the sweat on his forehead, saw that the window was open, and the rain outside drifted in, Xie Rao's heart was tight, and he always felt very uneasy, usually when there was any wind and grass, he would be able to do it in summer, and sometimes Xie Rao thought that he didn't have to sleep at night in summer, or even just Xie Rao coughed a few times in a low voice, and he could hear it in the summer, and he could send water in time, what happened today?
Waiting a little anxious, Xie Rao got up and went to the summer house, but he didn't see her, and his heart was even more uneasy, she was dizzy, her legs and feet were sore, and it was another lightning, Xie Rao quickly covered her ears, and the ghost sent the gods, Xie Rao walked to Xie Yushu's room.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, getting closer and closer to Xie Yushu's room, Xie Rao felt fear for the second time when she came here, and there were some things that she was afraid to face.
"Get out of here, cry what to cry, I'm going to sleep." Xie Yushu roared impatiently, Xie Rao, who was not far away, heard it, and tiptoed open his door, only to see Xia huddled in the corner crying, holding a knife in his hand.
Xie Rao saw that Xie Yushu on the bed was not dressed, lying on the bed on all fours, and then looked at the summer next to him, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and there was a smell of "heather" in the air.
She used to be curious to smell it, but now, she just wants to vomit, and she staggers towards Summer, hugging Summer tightly.
"Miss, woo woo woo, I shouldn't have disobeyed you, why should I open the door, woo woo woo." In the summer, I felt Xie Rao's temperature, and I couldn't stop crying.
Xie Rao hugged her tightly for a while before letting go of her, and said to Xia Xia in a serious and whispered to him: "Now go and change your clothes, bring cash and then lead the old horse to the official road at the foot of the mountain to wait for me, you must be fast, summer." ”
After Xie Rao said these words, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, so he changed his breath and continued: "You remember, if I haven't arrived in half an hour, you can ride the old horse and immediately ask Lang Zhong for a bowl of fuzi soup, and then don't come back." ”
Summer was already frightened, and this time she was even more overwhelmed, and stood up in a daze.
"Be quick, as fast as you can, and don't bring anything but silver." Xie Rao was afraid that she would forget, so he emphasized to her again.
Watching Xia run out quickly, Xie Rao hurriedly took the knife and stood in a dark corner, she was waiting for the opportunity, Xie Yushu on the bed was probably drunk, and he kept scolding and scolding in his mouth, but he didn't wake up, Xie Rao breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to count non-stop, when he counted to 530, Xie Rao was a little panicked, and at this moment there was another lightning bolt outside the window, Xie Rao immediately ran to Xie Yushu's bedside, and slashed straight at Xie Yushu's lower body, she would not kill, even if she was angry, she also controlled herself.
Xie Yushu's screams and thunder blended together, Xie Rao threw the knife in disgust and quickly ran away from the door, on the other side Xie Yushu covered his lower body and kept rolling on the bed, no one paid attention to him at this time, the thunderstorm outside was loud, enough to drown out his shouts, just like drowning out the cries for help in summer.
It takes 30 minutes to reach the agreed place with the summer, the summer has always run faster than Xie Rao, if there is no miscalculation of the time, the summer has arrived at this moment, Xie Rao is still a little dizzy, but she usually exercises properly, plus the road is already familiar with the heart, she is sure to arrive in an hour, and she has a hundred energies in her heart.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Xie Rao is soaking wet and sitting on the ground to rest, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a light in the sky, she was going to hurry, and she would actually arrive after walking a little longer, usually 10 minutes away, which seemed extraordinarily far now.
Just when Xie Rao struggled to get up again, she saw someone walking towards her in front of her, the rain was too strong and blinded Xie Rao's eyes, and at this moment there were some broken jars, leaning against the tree, until she saw clearly that the person was summer, she was relieved, and she opened her mouth to roar: "Didn't you let you wait there?" What are you doing here, don't you know how to run away first? ”
Although it was a scolding, but it still moved the summer, she could only call Miss softly, helped Xie Rao on the horse, and led the horse forward, the old horse and Xie Rao got along with the summer for half a year, naturally they were somewhat familiar, quietly followed the summer, maybe the rain was a little cold, and Xie Rao didn't even have the possibility of fainting, Xie Rao looked left and right, if she was not mistaken, she saw something similar to a signal light before meeting the summer, Xie Rao has seen it in many dramas, the kind as bright as fireworks, with thick smoke, Something that can be signaled.
She must make a decision quickly, not a moment can not be delayed, the old horse has followed the summer to the official road, Xie Rao quickly let the summer stop, and then rolled off the horse, coaxed the summer to get on the horse, told the summer to grab the reins, and then said no more, at this moment she can only count on the old horse to know the way, she shouted into the horse's ears: "Take her, go back to your original home." ”
Slapped the old horse's ass hard, this may be the most successful fart Xie Rao has ever slapped in his life, the old horse screamed, and ran forward quickly, Summer was so frightened that he hugged the old horse tightly, and the reins in his hand did not dare to let go for a moment, she expected that they would be caught back soon, and also expected that Xie Rao would let her from Xie Yushu, but she didn't expect Xie Rao to come out like this.
She never expected that she would part with Xie Rao in a hurry, and it had been years since she said goodbye.
