Chapter 13: Summer Rain
When I got to the field, I saw that the situation was not very bad. It hadn't rained for a long time, and it only fell in the middle of the night, and the mountain rain hadn't risen yet. Under Wei Dongliang's instructions, Gu Xicheng dug the ditch a little deeper and released the water from the field.
Fortunately, his family's field was an official field before, and the drainage ditches and other things were well maintained, and the terrain of this land was slightly high, but he was afraid of drought and waterlogging. Gu Xicheng took a turn in his own field, and went over to help Wei Dong dig a ditch.
The Wei family has a total of nearly five acres of paddy fields, all of which are located in the lower direction, and at this time, half of his family's fields have been flooded, and more than half of the rice has fallen into the fields. By the time the two of them had cleaned up the ditches, Gu Xixuan, who was only carrying a hat, was already soaked. What's more, he later thought it was in the way, so he threw it aside early.
"Alright, let's go back. If you go back like this, your brother will bury you and spoil your clothes. Wei Dong smiled honestly and teased him.
Gu Xixuan also hooked the corners of his lips when he heard this, he only had two sets of clothes in total, the one last night was washed and not dried, and this set was only worn last night and got wet today. He shook a handful of water droplets on his head and scratched his chin with some concern, Cheng Wei wouldn't let him be naked all day, right?
When Gu Xixuan went back, it was a little bright, he took off his soaked clothes at the door and threw them at the door, and the whole person entered the door wet.
Cheng Wei hadn't woken up yet, Gu Xiquan entered the room lightly, he opened the wardrobe and prepared to find out the set of clothes that Cheng Wei had given him on the first day. It's half a short one, but it's better than naked.
He was about to take off his pants with his clothes in his hand when he heard a soft sound behind him. He paused and turned his head, and the person on the bed froze motionless on the bed with his eyes tightly closed.
Gu Xixuan laughed, took off his soaked pants, and changed into dry clothes.
Gu Xixuan, who was wearing his belt, said, "Cheng Wei, when will you help me sew a pair of underwear?" ”
Speaking of which, he has been absent from the other world for more than half a month. Fortunately, the clothes are very loose, and this world does not need him to fight strange beasts.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a man with his upper body still dripping, and he was still asking such a shameless question. Cheng Wei turned over stiffly, pretending not to hear anything.
Gu Xixuan sat happily on the edge of the bed, patted him on the back and said, "Get up, I know you're awake." ”
Cheng Wei: ...... When did this person become so shameless!
"Where did you get drenched in water early in the morning?" Cheng Wei had no choice but to sit up and glanced at his soaked pants on the ground.
"Uncle Wei said that the field was flooded, let me go and see, our family's field is not too much of a hindrance." Gu Xicheng rolled up the sleeves of his shortened shirt, he glanced out the window and said, "You don't have to wait for me to cook breakfast in a while, I will cut two bamboos while the rain is light." ”
The dry and rainy seasons on the Blue Star are extremely long, and once the rain falls, it is endless. Gu Xixuan, who was still unsure of this otherworldly weather, wanted to take advantage of this time to go up the mountain, and the newly caught chickens in the yard shed were all wet and huddled, he was afraid that these little things would not be able to survive if they were sick.
“…… Wait a minute! There are two pairs of shoes in the cabinet over there. Cheng Wei sat on the bed and shouted at Gu Xixuan, who was about to go out. He had already seen it just now, Gu Xixuan's shoes were already soaked, and there were two holes in the heels.
"It's going to be wet if you change it, and I'll change it when I come back." Gu Xixuan tilted his head slightly and said, took a hat and stuck a knife in his waist and went out the door.
The bamboo forest is on the low slope around the village, because it is used to build a shed, Gu Xicheng chose the small roots to cut, and there is no need to split the bamboo into small pieces when he goes back.
Before he could cut a few roots, he heard footsteps behind him.
"You're the kid who got into a relationship with my brother?"
"Yes." Gu Xixuan turned his head when he heard the voice, and the person standing on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain looked about the same as a person in his two hundred years on the Blue Star, and he was probably in his forties in this other world. He wore a hat and a black mass, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"You're going to come to the door?" The man spoke again, his voice inexplicably muffled in the rain.
"Yes." Gu Xicheng put down the knife this time, he turned around and glanced at the person, and nodded. He was a little curious about what this man wanted to ask, after all, according to the reaction of the people in the village who went to the town last time, it seemed that it was not a glorious thing to come to the door. Because of the fear of touching people's sore spots, outsiders rarely mention the word door-to-door.
It's just that there is no explicit provision on the blue star for a man's marriage, and the matter of face is not an important matter, as for the little thing in bed...... It is enough for the husband and wife to know it themselves.
"You should get back up as soon as possible away from the village, preferably in the mountains. Whether you believe it or not, if it's for Cheng Weihao, you will listen to me. The man bowed his head and finished speaking, lifted the hat, and carried the hoe away.
The man's legs and feet looked a little inconvenient, no wonder he made such a loud noise when he walked.
Gu Xixuan looked at his back and frowned slightly, but didn't catch up and ask why. He cut enough small bamboo, found a tough climbing vine bundle nearby, carried it on his shoulders and carried it all the way home.
"Throw the bamboo there, I cooked ginger soup." Cheng Wei saw him come back, brought a bowl of ginger soup and shouted at him in the hall.
"Put it first, and I'll come later." Gu Xixuan threw the bamboo strips in the courtyard, and he found four slightly larger ones to stand at the four corners again, and straightened the crooked shed.
Cheng Wei saw that he really didn't plan to come back, turned around and poured the ginger soup back into the pot and warmed it, and stirred the fire again before wearing a hat and walking into the courtyard.
"What are you doing out there? After a while, I got my clothes wet and I was fine right away. Gu Xixuan stopped Cheng Wei, who wanted to squat down and take the bamboo stick, he frowned and nodded in the direction of the hall with his chin and said in a deep voice, "Go back." ”
Cheng Wei opened his hand and glared at him and said, "Don't be verbose, hurry up and go back to the house after doing it!" ”
Gu Xixuan tilted his head and looked at him with a stiff face, how could he think that Cheng Wei was not afraid of him at all, and there was a faint posture that was more fierce than him. Anyway, the bunnies under his command used to ...... Forget it, those bunnies don't seem to be very afraid of him.
For a moment, a faint layer of sadness swelled up in General Gu's heart.
The two of them reinserted the bamboo strips densely along the imprint of the original bamboo shed, and then gathered the grass that had almost corroded on it to a corner, so that there was a dry place in the bamboo shed.
Approaching the end of work, Gu Xixuan looked at the remaining five or six bamboo strips on the ground, he glanced into the shed, raised the remaining bamboos side by side against the wall, and then caught all the chicks and put them on the shelf.
Cheng Wei turned around and went back to the house to put the still red charcoal in the stove into the charcoal basin, he covered it with a layer of ash and brought it to the bottom of the shelf. At the end, he put a basin of water on the shelf, poured a little water, and threw two patted garlic heads.
"Hurry up and drink the ginger soup." As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Wei went to the pot and put two bowls of ginger soup out, one bowl for two people. Before the soup reached his stomach, Gu Xixuan was choked and sneezed several times in a row.
He stared at the bowl of ginger soup in his hand, and his expression looked very serious. Although his tongue can't taste, his other organs are functioning well. Except for the spicy, the choking smell rushed from the chest and abdomen all the way to the top of the head.
His eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of the bowl of medicine boiled in clay...... How can you pour out this bowl of soup without knowing it?
"Don't stare at it, drink it while it's hot, and change your shoes when you're done." Cheng Wei, who had already finished drinking, sat opposite him and stared at him, as if he had already seen through his careful thoughts, and had no intention of leaving.
Gu Xigao: ...... Heroism is nothing more than that.
Cheng Wei went to the kitchen with two empty bowls, he went to the room and took out the newly made shoes, and put a set of half-new clothes on his hands.
After getting wet three sets of clothes a day, Gu Xicheng replaced the broken pair of military boots and tried on new shoes, he moved his feet, in addition to being too light, it was strangely comfortable to wear.
"Cheng Wei, is there anyone in our village who has a lame leg?" Gu Xixuan pinched the soft soles of his shoes and asked.
