I still remember that it was May, when the weather was very strong, and the skin on the body was covered by the scorching sun, and it was very uncomfortable. The domestic environment is like that, looking at the geographical location, the rich places are enviable, and the poor poor villages can only have a full stomach, and they can only save some surplus money after a year of hard work.

Where it is too poor, the threshing team will not go, because the peasants cannot afford to pay and prefer to be tired themselves. Where you are too rich, you have your own machinery, and the price is subsidized in the village, so it's useless to go. The way to survive for the threshing team is to find those small villages and towns that are neither rich nor poor, and a large number of laborers from the village go to the city to work, and there are only the elderly left behind.

Zhang Li's threshing team has a total of 17 harvesters, as well as two medium-sized slipper trucks, that is, Chang'an medium trucks. The harvesting carts are distributed according to the family, and everyone eats and lives on the harvester for many years. The slipper cart is used to pull daily necessities and is also a temporary kitchen, and the threshing team generally runs on the road for most of the year, looking for a way to work. That's why I don't usually stay in a store or look for food outside.

When it was time to eat, the chef on duty on the slipper car would prepare the meal in advance, and everyone in the threshing team would take the lunch box to the car to cook and cook.

The first time I saw the leather fox lantern was on an ancient mound called Hanjia Village. Half a month ago, someone in the village took the initiative to contact the threshing team to help with the harvest, and after the last work, the team drove over non-stop.

Walking through the village road, there are large golden wheat fields on both sides of the road. At this moment, Zhang Li accidentally turned his head and saw a large group of foxes with fiery red fur, these foxes were standing on the side of the road, their front paws off the ground, standing motionless like people, not knowing what they were doing. Their fur was so beautiful that many of the women in the car screamed, and under the scorching sun, it was as if flames were burning.

These red foxes were not afraid of people at all, and each of them stood on the top of an ancient tomb, and their eyes looked at the convoy coldly. For some reason, Zhang Li, who saw the fox for the first time, didn't appreciate it, but was frightened by the eyes of these little beasts, and his cold hair stood up.

"It's kind of weird." The grandfather sitting next to him said 'huh', took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Stop, pull over."

The convoy immediately stopped in order, got out of the car, and a gust of wind blew on the face, and it was hot. The fox not far away was still looking intently at this place, and had no intention of dispersing. The sixth grandfather stepped out of the second harvesting cart, he was in his sixties, and he had a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth. Although the sixth grandfather has a foreign surname, he is old and is the number two person in the threshing team.

"Lao Zhang, why are you stopping, isn't Hanjia Village about to arrive?" The sixth grandfather asked with a frown.

"Looking at those foxes makes me feel terrified." Grandpa thought for a moment and decided, "We won't go to Hanjia Village."

"This is the way for Sanwa to live, if you say you can't go, you won't go. How can he gain credibility? Will you let him take care of it in the future? "Sanwa's real name is Zhao Shan, he is the grandson of the sixth grandfather, he grew up with Zhang Li wearing a pair of pants, and he had a good relationship when he was a child. But since he graduated from college and returned to the threshing team, the relationship has been estranged. Sanwa often troubles Zhang Li in a weird way, which makes him very annoyed.

Although Zhang Li knows very well why. It's all for the 'handlebar head' position. The so-called handlebar head is the leader of the threshing team, similar to the horse pot head of the horse gang.

Originally, after Zhang Li, the only undergraduate college student in the threshing team, left, the position of grandfather should be left to Sanwa. But he couldn't find a job and returned to the threshing team, and the possibility of Sanwa wanting to be on the throne was also disappointed.

Even with it, even the sixth grandfather, who has always been very kind, has become against Zhang Li and his grandfather everywhere. In this world, the interests of the struggle for power are entangled everywhere and have never stopped.

Grandpa was silent for a while, the things in the team must be balanced with a bowl of water, and it is not good to go to either side, it is easy to make people feel cold. He looked at those weird foxes, and after hesitating and hesitating, his eyes moved to Sanwa: "Sanwa, this matter is strange. We've never been to that Hanjiazhuang, why did the people in the village call you all of a sudden? ”

"Grandpa, now that the network is so developed, why is it difficult for them to find a threshing team as big as ours." Sanwa replied respectfully on the surface, but her eyes were very cold.

"Okay, then you're in charge of this business." Grandpa finally sighed.

Sanwa was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, grandpa, I will definitely make the business properly." ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Zhang Li, his eyes were full of pride. Zhang Li shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. To be honest, Zhang Li really didn't care about the threshing team, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a satisfactory job for a while, he would have been reluctant to come back. Grandpa may also want him to do this for the rest of his life because of the unknown death of his son and daughter-in-law.

Threshing is easy to say, but there are many places to go, and there will always be unclean things, and the water is very deep. Perhaps it is precisely because of the ambiguous attitude of grandpa and Zhang Li that Zhang Li's prestige in the threshing team is almost equal to zero, and the third baby has a high demand for the next handlebar style.

Many people think that he just relies on his grandfather to eat in the threshing team, and that's it for this life, don't think about it.

Even many times, even Zhang Li himself thinks so. But the things in the world are really uncertain!

Grandpa gave up the position of the front of the car to Sanwa, and drove the threshing cart into the tail of the team. The third baby and the sixth grandfather raised their eyebrows and smiled. It is not often that the handlebar head is temporarily relinquished, and it is usually the handlebar head at the time who makes his own judgment and thinks that the other party will do better than himself before driving his car into the rear of the team. And the bulk of this transaction is also owned by the temporary handlebar head, which does not allow the three babies to be ecstatic.

Zhang Li looked at his grandfather with a calm face in some surprise and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to do?" ”

"Don't you understand?" Grandpa squinted his eyes at the mound in the middle of a golden wheat field. The convoy roared away, and the red, somewhat bewitching foxes dispersed. All of this is faintly depressing.

Zhang Li watched the group of foxes jumping like flames disappear out of sight, and shook his head lightly: "I don't understand." ”

"It's a shame that you're still a college student." Grandpa frowned: "Although I haven't been to Hanjiazhuang, I have passed by Kunshan a few times. Thirty years ago, there was a serious fox problem here, and there were even fox spirits with three tails. At night, she takes the form of a woman, looks for men in the prime of life who walk on dirt roads at night, seduces them, intersects with them, and takes the opportunity to absorb their essence. When the bewitched man was found, all of them had been sucked out of blood, and they had become like dried corpses, looking terrifying. ”
