37 Blade
The next day, light rain, early in the morning.
The gloomy sky shimmered, the mountains and forests were still sleeping, and even the wind was gentle and restrained, and it took a long time to blow a few whimpering soft sounds.
The fine raindrops rustled down, casting another veil over the already gray world, and among the undulating hills, the dark earth was quiet everywhere, with only a few small figures moving slowly.
This is Wu Qingchen's family.
At this time, Wu Qingchen understood the meaning of the fierce eyes of his father and brother.
The deepest ferocity is to be cruel to yourself.
At this time, Wu Qingchen also understood that the words "being cattle and horses" invented by the farmers of ancient country Z are not an exaggeration at all, but a true portrayal of a miserable life.
Wu Qingchen is making cattle and horses.
On the side of the path, between the mud, almost soaked in the swamp, Wu Qingchen trekked hard and staggered.
Whether it is the lord's commons or the farmer's share, ploughing the fields is the most important farm work throughout the summer, and this important event is not done well, and the harvest in the second half of the year can hardly be counted on.
At such a critical juncture, the only cow in the family was injured, the most important labor force could not contribute, and it was impossible to borrow the livestock of other villagers due to the heavy summer work, and the only way out for the old William's family was only one:
People live as dry animals.
How powerful is a cow? Wu Qingchen didn't know, but Wu Qingchen once watched a video of eighteen adult men and an adult ploughing cow tug-of-war, and the final result was evenly matched.
In other words, in addition to the extremely heavy farm work in ordinary Japan, now, this adult farming cow, which is equivalent to the workload of more than a dozen adult men, is all spread on the body of Wu Qingchen's family of six.
Yes, a family of six.
The cow's injury shattered all of William's plans, and shattered the family's life, and the ploughing situation was critical, and the next year's food and livelihood were most seriously threatened, compared to which a day or two of cooking and household chores were insignificant.
Early in the morning, the mother, Jacqueline, little Nina, who was only ten years old, also stood in the muddy field, under the big tree next to the field, in a basket covered by rags, containing the food that the two of them had hastily prepared in the middle of the night, and two clumps of hay were piled up next to the food, and two children who had just woken up and were crying were contained in it.
The miserable situation and loud crying could not attract Wu Qingchen's attention at all.
At this time, Wu Qingchen's eyes were already blurry, his body was heavy, his body was sticky, and he only felt that the sweat even exceeded the weight of the rain.
In the mud, Wu Qingchen's body leaned forward violently, exerting all his strength to open his heavy legs and keep up with the slow progress of the plowcar in front of him. At the same time, Wu Qingchen had to concentrate all his attention and try to control his two trembling arms, so that his hands could tightly grasp the crossbar and control the direction so that the crooked plowcar would not fall.
This plow truck is also not the property of Wu Qingchen's family.
Last night, in order to make the progress of ploughing the land as fast as possible, old William went out of the hut with some food indiscriminately, braved the rain, and went into the field, which was completely dark without any light, and spent three full hours, rolling in the dark, covered in mud, and hung several openings by thorns and stones, and after a dozen acquaintances of the villagers in succession, and begged for it, he finally borrowed another plow.
With two plowtrucks, Wu Qingchen's family was naturally divided into two groups, Old William, Idra, and Jacqueline, these three chose the hard ground to the west of the land and undertook the heaviest labor, but they had already gone far ahead, and Grace, Little Nina, and Wu Qingchen in the east, although the ground under their feet was soft and they had exhausted all their strength, they still fell far behind.
Call...... Call...... Call......
Shaking his head vigorously, shaking off the rain and sweat that covered his eyes, in front, Grace and Little Nina's bodies shook, and it took a step for a long time, both of them had a long rattan rope on their shoulders, and the rattan rope was deeply sunk into the robe, Grace, who was used to farm work, changed the rattan rope to one shoulder from time to time, and Little Nina, who also imitated it, had an obvious red blood mark on both shoulders.
Alas......
Unconsciously, Wu Qingchen's heart was sour, and his eyes, which had just shaken off the rain, began to be a little blurry again, "Nina, let's change it......"
"I ...... I ......" only spit out one or two words, and Little Nina's body swayed strongly, stopped slightly, and gasped heavily for a while, Little Nina finally squeezed out her strength, but it was still intermittent: "I...... Brother Loth, I'm fine...... No...... No need to change it, or we'll ...... It's even slower......"
This is the third refusal of little Nina, at the beginning, seeing that little Nina's shoulder felt blood, Wu Qingchen immediately exchanged places with Nina, because when he was working a few days ago, Wu Qingchen had already secretly added a few pieces of animal leather to his robe, and the shoulder strangled the rattan rope was only sore, and it would not wear out the skin and cause injury.
However, due to too little work in the field, lack of experience and lack of strength, little Nina could not grasp the direction well, and the plowboat fell several times, and the already slow speed slowed down a lot.
After this time, no matter how Wu Qingchen and Grace persuaded her, Little Nina just refused to switch places with Wu Qingchen.
This time was no exception, frowning, shedding tears, and gasping for a few painstaking breaths, little Nina turned around and put the rattan rope back on her shoulder, and after her body trembled violently, she lowered her body again, ready to ......
Looking at Little Nina's trembling body, the red marks on her shoulders that spread in an instant again, as if they were grabbed by an invisible big hand, Wu Qingchen's heart suddenly twitched.
Suddenly, Wu Qingchen suddenly let go of the plow, pulled off his robe with his left hand, reached into his shoulder with his right hand, and tore off the leather lining that had been sewn into the robe with great difficulty.
The next moment, Wu Qingchen took a few steps forward, stood next to Little Nina, as if throwing away a poisonous snake, and vigorously shook off the rattan rope on Little Nina's shoulder, and at the same time carefully lifted the little girl's collar, and tried his best to refine a few pieces of his right hand.
"This ......"
Little Nina, who was only ten years old, couldn't put together a bowl of meat that she had eaten in her life, and she didn't know what was covering her shoulder, but she felt that the soft leather had just been attached to the injured position, and the unbearable pain in her shoulder immediately became much lighter.
"This! …… This! ……”
Grace, who was about to become an adult, immediately recognized the items in front of him, seeing these pieces meant encroaching on the interests of the lord, violating the laws of the territory, and at the same time, it meant police service, fines, dungeons, beatings, slaves, grazing, death, etc., and so on, the exhaustion on Grace's face instantly changed to shock and disbelief, and his eyes that suddenly turned to Wu Qingchen were also full of panic and indescribable fear.
"What's wrong...... Grace, Los ......"
In the distance, noticing the movement here, Old William's hoarse voice came.
As if a thunderbolt fell to his side, he suddenly heard a voice, Grace shook suddenly, and his lips opened involuntarily, "Father...... Los ......"
"Ahem......" Wu Qingchen coughed vigorously and took a step forward, blocking Grace's sight and staring at Grace's eyes.
Living in a simple and closed medieval world, Grace, who is only sixteen years old, certainly doesn't know what a solemn expression is, what a sharp gaze is. However, Wu Qingchen, who frowned tightly in front of him, slightly narrowed his eyes, and was straight, made Grace can't help but take a step back, and the voice in his mouth was unconsciously lowered.
Call......
Wu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked in the direction of old William: "It's okay, father, Nina is a little injured, I helped her wipe her ......"
Looking at the plough in the distance and starting to move forward again, Wu Qingchen turned around again, touched little Nina's head, and said gently: "When I finish plowing this land, the things will be returned to me...... This is our secret, we don't tell any of us, we don't tell Idla, we don't tell our father and mother, okay? ”
Speaking the last few words, Wu Qingchen's gaze slowly fell on Grace's body.
Involuntarily, together with the much lighter little Nina, Grace nodded slowly, and her voice was slightly dull: "Okay"
"Good...... Let's keep dry. ”
Picking up the crossbar again and straightening the plow, Wu Qingchen's body leaned forward again.
At this moment, there was a "boom", and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the dim surroundings suddenly brightened.
With this thunder, the rain falling from the sky was instantly dense, the raindrops suddenly became larger, and the downpour fell from the sky, in less than half a minute, in the summer, Wu Qingchen's bare skin felt a chill, and his eyes were soon blurred again, and he couldn't see the mud under his feet.
"Thunderbolt!" "Thunderbolt!" "Smack!"
Just as Wu Qingchen raised his right hand to open the rain curtain and wipe away the rain on his face, another fierce sharp thunderbolt suddenly sounded.
In an instant, Wu Qingchen, who was already tired and staggering, and happened to raise his feet to step and raise his hand to wipe the water, under the violent shock of his mind, his body inevitably lost his balance, and after staggering out two steps, he finally couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground obliquely.
In his sight, a cold light quickly enlarged in front of Wu Qingchen's eyes.
Rotten!
To be bad!
This is the blade of a plow!
Rotten! Rotten! Rotten!
In the middle of the crisis, a cold air suddenly rushed straight from Wu Qingchen's spinal cord to his brain, and the whole world seemed to slow down suddenly.
"...... Loos" "Brother ......"
Grace's anxious cries and Nina's mournful screams instantly rang out in his ears.
With all his strength, Wu Qingchen shook his waist suddenly, and turned his head away with all his strength, and half a second later, Wu Qingchen's body finally fell to the ground, and he fell straight into the mud.
The face is less than a finger between the blades of the plow.
I......
Strangle......
Piece......
Grass......
At least two minutes later, the frightened Wu Qingchen finally got up.
An irrepressible fear tightly gripped Wu Qingchen's mind, Wu Qingchen was numb, and at the same time cold, and it took at least two minutes for Wu Qingchen to slowly touch his body.
After a long time, Wu Qingchen was sure that there were no obvious injuries to his body.
He stood in a daze for a while, looking at the almost strings of rain pouring in the sky, at his brothers and sisters who were splashing with water all over his body, and at the sharp coulter that reflected the cold light of his debut.
Wu Qingchen gritted his teeth and squeezed out the most vicious curse from the edge of his teeth: My cowherd of Caonema, you ancestors of the eighteen generations will not die well, and generations will be reincarnated in the medieval world forever......
Afterwards......
Wu Qingchen looked to the sides with his eyes unfocused.
Wu Qingchen placed the thumb of his right hand between his middle finger and ring finger.
Wu Qingchen's head was tilted, and his left foot was up.
A minute later, after receiving Wu Qingchen's highest priority order to wake up urgently, Wu Qingchen's eyes suddenly shook regularly in the world of rain.
Two seconds later, in the earth world, Wu Qingchen opened his eyes.
