Cheng Qing looked around and saw a field that was growing quite well, and after being puzzled for a moment, he walked over there and looked at the rows of neat and green seedlings, and his mood became even more depressed.

Just when he was puzzled, the sky began to drizzle again, Xiaoyun hurriedly walked over, and said anxiously: "Childe, let's go back first, in case the rain is heavy, it's time to catch a cold, let's go!"

"Rain?" Cheng Qing touched the drops of water on his face, looked at his field again, and remembered the rainy season that began a few days ago, and he suddenly understood the reason why his land became a paddy field.

But today's rain was really unfortunate, he didn't think much about it, and went home with Xiaoyun.

As soon as Xiaoyun arrived home, he first boiled ginger tea, then boiled hot water, asked Cheng Qing to drink ginger tea first, and then asked him to take a bath and wash off all the moisture on his body, so that he would not catch a cold.

Cheng Qing locked himself in the study, carefully considered it, until dinnertime, he did not come out to eat, after using up, he asked Xiaoyun's father to bring the clothes and hats, he wanted to go out.

"Childe, it's raining so hard and the lights are blind, what if there's something to do? Let's go back tomorrow, Childe. Xiaoyun knew that Gongzi couldn't let go of that piece of land in her heart, but she couldn't let Gongzi go out at night, when the time came, there was really something long and two short, what should she do?

Cheng Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry, give me another oil lamp, it's on the road." ”

"Childe, it's not safe outside, if Childe is really not at ease inside, Childe said, Xiaoyun go."

"How? What should you do if something happens to a girl's family? ”

"What should I do if something happens to Xiaoyun?"

Cheng Qing felt that he had the illusion that only the governor was allowed to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamp, so he touched his nose embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Don't you believe your son-in-law?" ”

Xiaoyun shook his head: "Of course not." ”

"That's it, don't worry, you stay at home, if I haven't come back for an hour, you can go to the field to find me, okay?"

"But..."

"Don't be, quick, I'll go early and come back early while there's still light, by the way, bring me the hoe when I get the robe."

Xiaoyun couldn't, so he could only prepare everything for him as he said and watch him go out.

Cheng Qing held an oil lamp in one hand and an umbrella in the other—Xiaoyun was worried that he would get wet and cold, so he had to bring the umbrella with him. So Cheng Qing, who was wearing a hat and a hat and an umbrella in his hand, was so funny, if he saw it himself, he would probably laugh out loud.

This was the first time he had gone out unaccompanied in the dark, and he was still a little frightened, but fortunately it was not far from him, and he arrived soon.

The field, which has almost turned into a pond, seems to be overflowing because it holds too little water and has too much water. Cheng Qing took a closer look at the fact that his field was surrounded by a circle, and there was no gap at all, and he walked to the side of other people's fields, and sure enough, he saw a little doorway.

There is a lot of rain in the rainy season, and if the water is not properly drained, the crops will be drowned, so the clever farmer came up with the idea of digging a small hole next to the field to make a channel for drainage and irrigation.

Although there is water in other people's fields, there is no flood like Cheng Qing, and this method is used.

So Cheng Qing, who understood it, immediately returned to his field, and dug a hole in the nearest field with the hoe he brought, and sure enough, the water in the field ran to this hole like finding a catharsis and flowed into the ditch.

Cheng Qing opened one or two more openings, and when he saw the fruitful fields, Cheng Qing was very satisfied, and went home in a good mood, he believed that tomorrow morning, his fields would definitely surprise him and Xiaoyun!

Xiao Yun didn't care what the situation in the field was, as soon as he saw Cheng Qing arrive at the door, he immediately prepared ginger tea, untied his soaked coat and hat, and then went to boil hot water.

When Cheng Qing was lying in the bathtub, he found that he had washed it for the second time today, and besides, he didn't get drenched, was Xiaoyun making too much of a fuss?

It's really not Xiaoyun making a fuss, the next morning, when Cheng Qing's coughing throat was about to be abolished, he realized that he was really weak and weak.

"Has Childe tasted the pain now?" Xiaoyun took the decoctioned medicine to the bed and waited for Cheng Qing to eat it.

Cheng Qing knew that he was wrong about this, so he didn't say a word of rebuttal, but he was really worried about his land, so he looked at Xiaoyun hopefully.

"Don't think about it, Childe, is it important to do things in the field or your body? Xiaoyun is not stupid, and he will not lose a big one because of a small one! ”

Cheng Qing said in a hoarse voice: "I just want to take a look, you see that the sky outside is so good, I will go out to have a look, I will never go out at night again..."

Xiaoyun wrung out the towel, then wiped Cheng Qing's face and upper body, and said without flinching at all: "Before the son recovers, he still lies on the bed honestly, didn't he listen to the doctor?" Childe is already weak, what if he doesn't take care of himself and his body collapses? ”

"Didn't the doctor say that he could still go out for a walk, which was good for me?"

"The doctor is talking about normal! Childe, don't take it out of context! ”

Cheng Qing smiled: "Xiaoyun, your knowledge is getting better and better..."

After Xiaoyun covered the quilt for Cheng Qing well, he said: "That's the good teaching of the child, the son is good to lie down, let's be honest before the illness is cured!" ”

"Eh..."Cheng Qing looked at Xiaoyun who was leaving behind and knew her attitude. What would have been? Not being able to get out is really nothing to him, but his right eyelid keeps jumping, which is not a good sign for him?

Sure enough, when Cheng Qing was sick in bed for four days, and when he went to the ground accompanied by Xiaoyun on the fifth day, Cheng Qing knew that he was right.

The original paddy fields are now completely dryland...

Because after Cheng Qing opened the opening, the water in the field flowed away, not to mention, plus the sun in the past three or four days, the water in the field has already disappeared without a trace...

It's a coincidence, why is it always against him?

Xiaoyun glanced at Cheng Qing, who was full of remorse beside him, and persuaded: "Childe, let's not farm the land, right?" ”

"If you don't do such a thing, don't say you want to farm in the first place!" Cheng Qing went to the ground with a solemn face, looking at the place where he didn't know if he could come back to life, his mood was extremely heavy.

He looked around, and suddenly saw a figure not far away, a little familiar but not knowing who it was. The man was working with his back to him, with a hoe, and the man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel hanging around his neck, because the sun was poisoning. Even so, he didn't stop his movements, neat but powerful.

Cheng Qing looked at the land he planted again, and he was simply one heaven and one earth.

The price of land here is not cheap, and it is generally the land of the landlord's family, so it is good news for Cheng Qing to see one or two people.

Cheng Qing, who intended to play a shameless attitude of asking questions, planned to ask that person, did he have any salvation in this place?

Xiaoyun, who knew Cheng Qing's thoughts, volunteered: "Son, I'll go..."

"I'll go, so it looks sincere."

Cheng Qing straightened his clothes, slowly walked to the man's side, bowed down and said, "This eldest brother, I just came to Wangjia Village and want to ask for some things, is it convenient?" ”

The man turned his head when he heard the voice, and a familiar face appeared in front of Cheng Qing: "Ah, it's you..."

The man was the one Cheng Qing saw at the door of the Chang Li's house last time.

"Something?" The man's voice is very generous, and it sounds very reassuring.

Cheng Qing thought about the business, and hurriedly said: "A few days ago, I came to see my family's land, and it turned out that it was all water, so I opened a few openings to drain the water, but a few days ago, I couldn't come over to see it, and today this land has become dry, I want you to take a look, is there any salvation for my land?" ”

Cheng Qing pointed to the direction of his own land, and the man hesitated and asked, "What about your man?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qing frowned unhappily, and said in an unkind tone: "Without a man, I can't live with a pair?" ”

"It's not." The man walked over Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing was very angry that he was despised, and was about to walk over and scold him, when he heard the man say, "Don't you lead the way?" ”

"Huh?"

"Lead the way and see the ground."

Cheng Qing, who was full of doubts, took him to his own land, Cheng Qing was not a person of many words, just now he said such unpleasant words, but he thought about asking for others or acting a little kinder, and accosted: "What is the name of this big brother?" My name is Cheng Qing and I just arrived. ”

"Wang Zhili." The man didn't talk much, and his answer was very brief.

"......" Cheng Qing looked confused.

Wang Zhili saw the changes on Cheng Qing's face, and said with a lot of mouth: "Something? ”

"No, I visited your house last time, but you weren't there, only Xiaoshan was..."Cheng Qing said: "Later, Xiaoshan also sent wild food, which was delicious, and Xiaoyun and I were very satisfied." ”

Wang Zhili nodded when he heard this, and followed him silently to Cheng Qing's field. He has been farming with his family since he was a child, and he eats this meal, so he knows the problem of Cheng Qing's land at a glance.

"How? Can it still be saved? ”

If the general land is so ruined, you may only be able to plant something casually, but Cheng Qing's land is a valuable piece of fertile land, so the foundation is good, as long as it is dealt with well.

"Yes."

Cheng Qing was overjoyed and said, "Really? What should I do? ”

"You take a hoe and turn over the soil first, and the top is dry but there is water below, and you turn over the soil underneath first. After an hour or two, turn over the soil on top again, back and forth four or five times, and that's it. ”

"It's that simple?"

"Hmm."

After Cheng Qing thanked him, Wang Zhili went back to his field, Cheng Qing picked up the hoe and began to turn the soil according to what he said, although what he said was very simple, but it was not easy to do it at all, after all, it was hard work, and he was a person who had not used coolies for more than 20 years. Xiaoyun also came down to help, and the girl's strength was even less than Cheng Qing's double.
