Chapter Twenty-Six: Lin You's Visit
In the blink of an eye, it was late June, and the weather was hot day by day, and as soon as the day was hot, she would no longer let Banxia go out, for fear that she would suffer from heat stroke.
Banxia sat in the house while fanning the wind while looking out of the door, the sun in the sky was scorching the earth like a fireball, and even the wind blowing in was scorching.
Seeing Gan Sui come back, he hurried to the well to bring up the iced mung bean soup. Gan Sui was wearing a straw hat, his face was sunburned, and beads of sweat the size of beans were running across his face, Banxia hurriedly handed him the mung bean soup and fanned him again.
"How?"
"The harvest is not bad, I looked at it, and it is estimated that I can harvest more than 100 catties of other fields."
"That's good, how about the fish in the field?"
"It looks good, the big one is estimated to be more than three catties, and the small one is more than one catty, I have told the fish village in the city that it is good, and they will collect it when the time comes."
Banxia breathed a sigh of relief, just harvesting rice was a huge project, not to mention catching fish, she and Gan Sui, two completely inexperienced people, were estimated to be tired and half dead.
"Fortunately, there is the keel waterwheel you said, if there is such a drought this year, if there is no irrigation, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago."
Speaking of this, Gan Sui was a little anxious, it stands to reason that the keel waterwheel was reported more than three months ago, but the reward that should have been there has not been a trace, which caught Gan Sui a little off guard, after all, he has been thinking about using this money to go to a small courtyard.
As he was talking, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and someone was shouting, "Brother Gan, Brother Gan, are you at home?" "It's Lin You here.
Gan Sui and Banxia glanced at each other, they hadn't seen him for several months, and today they suddenly came again, and Gan Sui went to open the door.
"Brother Gan, good news, your keel waterwheel has alleviated the drought in the southwest, the holy dragon heart is happy, and the prefect wants to see you, my father asked people to invite you, and I volunteered to come."
Lin You finished speaking in one breath, picked up the remaining mung bean soup on the table, and drank it in a few gulps.
"It's so hot. You don't know, my dad has been watching me a lot lately, and he makes me read books every day, and I want to sneak out to find you several times, but he has been arrested. This time, I got the opportunity by forcing me to die, and Xiao Banxia went to make lunch for my brother. ”
Banxia looked at him pitiful, a bear child was pressed to read every day, and hurriedly went into the house to start making lunch. The disadvantage of making lunch in summer is that it is hot, and it is simply a minute of stir-frying and sweating for two hours. Banxia brought the dishes to the table, let the two of them chat first, went back to the house to wash their faces and change their clothes, and then came out, just when they heard Lin You saying: "You are lucky this time, the drought in the southwest this year is more serious than in previous years, and the result is that with this waterwheel, the harvest is better than in previous years, and the prince Ning of the southwest fiefdom praised this waterwheel in a book." This Ning Wang Ye is the uncle of the current saint, because the age is not about the same, and the two palaces live closely, the saint and him have an iron relationship. At the beginning, the saint originally wanted to give him a large piece of Jiangnan, but he invited himself to the southwest, saying that he was not used to living a rich life...... It's also magical, the person who has been soaking in the rich soup says that he can't get used to living a rich life, isn't this. ”
"Back to the point."
"Oh, to the point? Prince Ning was happy, and the emperor was also happy, rewarded five hundred taels of silver, and wrote a letter of encouragement, saying that he advocated that students from all over the world learn from you. ”
"Five hundred taels, a lot of money." Banxia was happy all of a sudden.
"You see you're superficial, isn't it, it's about money, it's about honor. There are so many students in the world, and there are a few who can be praised by His Majesty, and Brother Gan has a great future in the future. But I can tell you, I have a lifelong friendship with Banxia girl, if you learn anything Chen Shimei after you develop, I won't let you go. ”
"Wow, Master Lin, I suddenly felt that you were super jade tree in the wind, and your demeanor can be called the most beautiful man in my court."
Lin You was embarrassed to praise Banxia, but he had always been flowery, and he received it directly: "Yes, I thought that my face was simply carefully crafted, and it was impeccable no matter which direction you looked at." ”
Banxia is almost kneeling, is it really an ancient person who is so narcissistic?
After eating, Banxia was ready to pack his luggage for Gansui.
"Pack up your piece, and we'll go together." Gan Sui said.
"But you're going to get down to business, I'm going to do nothing."
"It's just that the county lord will meet, or it will be over in half a day, and then we will go around the city to see the shop, and now there is more silver, maybe we don't have to live in the county town to settle directly in the provincial capital."
"But what about the fish in the field?" The millet is okay, so a large piece of it is impossible to take away, the fish is different, just dig a hole, you can flow away more than half, and the rest may not live, so since the fish can see the movement, Gan Sui goes to the field every day to check, for fear that someone has bad intentions.
"I'll go to the village chief's house and talk to him later, and ask him to take care of it. By the way, I fed you all your chickens, ducks and lambs. ”
Gan Sui thought so comprehensively, Banxia happily went to pack his luggage.
"Brother Gan is going to leave early tomorrow morning, don't worry, I'll play with you this afternoon for an afternoon, I don't want to go back to reading books, really I'm looking at books now, and I feel that my whole head hurts." Lin You, a scumbag, simply gave full play to his resistance to reading.
Banxia heard that Lin You wanted to go out to play and proposed: "Let's go to the forest to catch pheasants, I wanted to catch it the first time I went into the forest, but I haven't caught it, so why don't I try my luck today." ”
Lin You's play was naturally applauded, and Gan Sui basically didn't refute Banxia, and the three of them brought straw hats to the forest.
"It's so much cooler in the woods than outside." Lin You wiped the sweat that was pouring out.
The forest is full of trees, there is little sunlight in and there is a breeze blowing, and it feels like you are in an air-conditioned room.
"When I have money in the future, I will go and pack a forest, build a small village in it, and keep it cool, and I will leave you a room when the time comes."
This forest has been here a few times, but it didn't go deeper, and this time there was no trace of pheasants in front of them, and several people began to walk deeper and deeper.
"Gansui, do you know the way, how will we get out later?" Banxia began to worry as she walked.
"It's okay, I just made a mark."
A few men then walked inside: "There seems to be a bush of grapes there. Lin You said suddenly.
Banxia looked at his hand, and sure enough, there was a bunch of grapes, which had a lot of knots, and one bunch after another was exceptionally full against the backdrop of green leaves. Lin You walked over quickly and picked one up, "It's so sweet, Xiao Banxia come and taste it." ”
"Watch out for ......!" Banxia screamed.
As soon as Lin You raised his head, a red long snake quickly crawled towards him, hissing and spitting a fishy smell, Lin You was a good martial artist, his eyes and hands quickly pinched its seven inches, the long snake had not given up and struggled to wrap around Lin You's arm, Lin You felt that his hand was about to be broken, but he didn't dare to let go, he pinched it fiercely, and finally the snake body began to soften, and it took a long time for Lin You to shake off the snake. Lying under another tree and throwing up.
Banxia saw that he vomited, and hurriedly handed the kettle over: "Come and rinse your mouth." ”
Lin You took the kettle and rinsed his mouth, "It's so disgusting, that slippery and cold touch ......"
"Don't talk about it, it's more uncomfortable for you to say it." Banxia asked Lin You to sit under the tree to rest for a while, and he and Gan Sui went to pick the grapes.
"You still want those grapes, what if they are crawled by poisonous snakes?"
"No way, the snake crawled over there, and before it could get close to the vine, you pinched it to death. There are so many grapes, Gansui, let's take them back and make wine. ”
"Okay."
"You still make wine? I don't care, I'll get a bottle when the time comes. ”
"Okay, I'll give you a bottle then." Banxia said cheerfully.
Suddenly, Banxia heard a "clucking" sound. He made a silent gesture towards Gansui. Willingly, he quietly looked in the direction that Banxia was pointing, and Lin You also saw it, and bright pheasant feathers could be vaguely seen behind a tall bush of wild grass.
Gan Sui and Lin You lurked lightly from the left and right, the pheasant seemed to have just laid eggs, and was clucking proudly, pacing slowly behind the weeds, Banxia pulled out the thin net tied around his waist, and slowly moved it from the front.
The pheasant seemed to hear something suddenly, straightened his neck alertly, mung bean looked around, Lin You and Gan Sui quickly pounced, the pheasant was frightened and flapped its wings and was about to fly, Banxia opened the net and waited for it there, and saw it fly, the net pounced down, and the pheasant was covered in the net.
Banxia quickly closed the net, "Look at you, you're still proud, you were caught by Miss Ben." ”
The pheasant struggled even harder, and Banxia struck it on the head with a knife, and the pheasant fainted.
"Young Master Lin is still a lucky star, you have gained a lot from coming." Banxia shook the pheasant in his hand, "This is estimated to be three or four catties." ”
"There are eggs here." Gan Sui said as he pulled through the grass, and a few wild eggs looked exceptionally white among the green grass.
"It's a good harvest, go home."
The three of them rushed home in the glow, Lin You went out of the forest and found that it was getting late, and strongly rejected Banxia's suggestion to stay for dinner, and rushed home like burning his eyebrows, Banxia was super speechless, this child is also strange, if you want to say that you are afraid of Lao Tzu, and dare to wave outside, say that he is not afraid of him Lao Tzu, and when he saw that it was late, he ran away in a hurry like a rabbit. Swinging his head, the bear child is really not something that normal people can understand.
Banxia didn't plan to eat pheasants today, so she took a rope and tied it in the yard, fed it some water, and was about to go in to make dinner, when she saw Gan Sui take some pastries and go out.
"Where are you going, it's going to be dinner soon."
"I'll go to the village chief's house."
"Then you should come back quickly."
Gan Sui didn't answer, and walked quickly to the village chief's house.
The village chief was sitting in the yard smoking a dry cigarette, and the eldest son, Xiaozhu, was counting ants under the tree, and when he saw Gan Sui coming, he shouted, "Uncle." ”
"Little pillar is good." As he spoke, he handed the pastry to the village chief, "I want to trouble you with something." ”
The village chief took the pastry, "What are you doing so politely, kid, what do you have to tell you?" ”
Gan Sui did not hide it and said directly: "A few days ago, I accidentally saw the keel waterwheel in the book, and when I saw that the weather was dry this year, I reported the waterwheel to the county commander, and the county commander reported it to the imperial court. The rest is just that, but the rice and fish in the field have to be more careful. ”
"It's a good thing, it's a matter of glory for our village. Go and I'll take care of your home. ”
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
"Gan Xiu is here, have you had dinner, let's have some together." The village chief's daughter-in-law came out.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, it's just that Banxia made dinner at home and waited for me to go back, so I left first." As he spoke, he thanked the village chief again and walked out of the courtyard.
I vaguely heard the village chief's daughter-in-law say, "What is he doing when he comes to you, his daughter-in-law is a powerful person, don't get into trouble?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Gan Xiu is a powerful ......"
Gan Sui smiled and walked quickly towards home, Banxia was still waiting for him at home.
