Chapter 141 Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat, What Is There (Plus Two, Ask for Collection, Ask for Five-Star Praise, Thank You!) )
In May, the sun shone on their bodies at noon, and the women who worked in the fields returned home one after another.
Tian Xinmiao found some hay and spread it under the tree, ate some dry food briefly, took a nap against the big tree, and then began to pull the weeds.
In this era, the grass to be pulled out in the wheat field was mainly oats with particularly strong fecundity, and the rest were gray striped vegetables, koji cabbage, bitter bitter herbs, and some weeds such as ice grass and spur mustard.
At that time, people didn't know what oats were good for, so they used it as a weed and went home to feed their livestock.
Or just throw it on the ridge with useless weeds such as ice grass and spur mustard, and eventually dry it into hay, which is occasionally used for heating when watering on cold nights.
There are many people who pick up the ququ cabbage and bitter cabbage and boil it back to scald the pulp water, and the more ones are also fed to the pigs with the gray striped vegetables.
When Tian Xinmiao pulls these grasses, he separates them into different corners of the basket.
When the baskets were full, she walked to the ridges and arranged them separately.
It is estimated that by about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Xinmiao finally finished pulling out the weeds in the largest wheat field.
She pulls a handful of oats that are about a hug thick of her, twists them into a rope, and ties the oats with the rope.
The gray striped vegetables, ququ vegetables, and mountain bitter vegetables were not big in size, and Tian Xinmiao tried to stuff them all into the back basket.
With a slightly heavy basket on his back, and holding the oat bundle in his arms, Tian Xinmiao was ready to go home.
But after walking a few steps, looking at the two directions she could take, she couldn't help but hesitate.
If she had gone back the way she came, back on the main road, and then down again, it would have taken at least fifty minutes for her to get back home.
But if she chooses to walk all the way down the canal from the head of her field, and then take the road that extends from the main road all the way to the small ear ditch, it is estimated that if she walks fast, she will be able to go home in twenty-one or twelve minutes.
Tian Xinmiao looked up at the sun that was already setting westward, and although Wu's mysterious look flashed in her mind when she said the unclean words in the small ear groove, she still decided to choose to walk back from the small ear groove.
She is already a person who is a bit of an 'evil family', and she is afraid that those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will not succeed.
Tian Xinmiao walked all the way north along the canal at the edge of the field, walked for about two or three minutes, and then walked on the road leading to Xiaoergouli.
As you enter the small ear groove, the terrain becomes lower and lower, and the sun from the west obliquely shines obliquely from the top of the small ear groove, but you can only find the mountain walls on both sides of the ravine, and there is no sunlight in the road and the ditch.
Tian Xinmiao, who felt that he was bold enough, walked down the more he went, and his heart gradually became a little panicked.
Fortunately, when the gurgling stream in the ditch flowed through the uneven terrain and many stones, the gurgling sound gave Tian Xinmiao a little more courage.
When he walked to the largest and most hidden bend in the ditch, Tian Xinmiao suddenly heard the sound of rustling from a cave on the right side not far from him.
Tian Xinmiao panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but stick his body against the mountain on his right, and stopped to listen carefully.
But when she stopped, the rustling seemed to have stopped.
Tian Xinmiao put the oats in his arms on his right arm and bent down, squatted down, picked up a dozen quail egg-sized stones from the side of the road and put them in his pocket, leaving two or three in his palm, and then moved forward slowly and lightly.
