Chapter 64: Peach Forest, Bamboo Forest

"Twenty wen? One... A day? ”

"A month, we don't want so much, twenty wen a month is enough."

"This, this can't be done, there is not a penny a day like this!"

"Anyway, it's a useless place, twenty wen a month is already a lot." March Dad is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

"But..."Zhou Kuiruo wanted to say more, but March Daddy stopped him with a straight face.

"Okay, don't say any more, and we won't rent anymore. I know that Chun Tao's girl has made up her mind to rent this land, and if you want to say it again, we won't rent it, and you're the one who is embarrassed. ”

Zhou Kuiruo could only agree, took out the twenty pieces on his body and handed them to March Daddy. "Okay, this is the first month's rent, please accept it."

"Good!" Father March took the money happily and asked, "Then when are you going to build a hut?" ”

"After a while, these days will not be needed for the time being."

"It's not going to work, is it possible to wait until you need to start preparing? I think it's only a few days, talk to June in the evening, just build a thatched hut, and he will be alone for two or three days. ”

March's father was also kind, although Zhou Kuiruo currently had no extra money to pay for his salary, he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. "Good! Thanks a lot. ”

It is said that Chun Tao was worried that Zhou Kuiruo would read it, so he took the book to the county seat, and after finishing his business, he took it out and prepared to continue transcribing.

"Sister Chun Tao, is this the book you want to give us?" October looked at the "Three Character Classic" that had been bound with needlework and thread, and looked at the book and looked at the spring peach.

"It's not good yet, it will take some time." Chun Tao took out ink, inkstone, and pen and continued to write in the notebook.

October has been looking at Chun Tao, wanting to see what she has written, and September has been looking at it, unable to sit still. "Write well, and see the results are not happier."

"I don't think so." Chun Tao looked at her coldly, and October was immediately over.

"Okay!" October pouted and put her ass back in her chair, but her eyes hadn't been withdrawn from the book. As soon as September heard Chun Tao say this, he had already sat down obediently, suppressed his curiosity, and began to write.

Chun Tao not only transcribed the content of the "Three Character Classic", but also wrote explanations and drew illustrations. This is also the reason why Chun Tao didn't want Zhou Kuiruo to see it, lest he ask questions again, and he would have to rack his brains to think of reasons.

After writing for a while, I couldn't calm down again in October. "Sister Chun Tao, can we go back early today?"

"What's wrong?" Chun Tao lowered her head and wrote, without raising her head.

"I want to go to the mountains in the east of the village, where the peaches are ripe, I want to go. They all picked a lot of flowers to eat, and I really wanted to eat them. ”

Muradong, by the way, last time Zhou Kuiruo's face changed as soon as he heard Muradong, and he didn't know what was there. "If you finish writing quickly, you'll go back early."

"Really? Then I'll write it very quickly. ”

"It has to be well written."

"Hmm!"

"Wow! Lots of peaches. The three of them put their things in the county seat and ran to the mountain east of the village.

Now is the season of ripe peaches, Wu Rong wrote, "The trees are full of delicate and red, and the ten thousand branches are scorching in spring." The sight is gone. Instead, there are heavy peaches hanging on the branches that are yellow and red.

The breeze blows, bringing not an elegant floral fragrance, but a sweet peach fragrance. Also, there is a rotten, sour smell.

What a disappointment! As she walked, Chun Tao crushed a rotten peach that had fallen to the ground, and the smell of rotting came from the soles of her feet. "This peach grove seems to be very big."

"Yes! From here, there are peach forests for three miles. ”

It's three miles away, and this peach forest is really big! People are ten miles of peach blossoms, and I am three miles of peaches. "Does this peach forest have a master?"

"It doesn't seem to be there, I had it when I was young, and everyone in the village would come to pick it, so it should be ownerless." In the middle of speaking, October laboriously pulled a peach from the tree, wiped the peach's fluff on his body, and put it in his mouth.

"It's so sweet." The peach juice dripped down the corner of October's mouth and onto the collar, and he reached out and wiped the peach juice all over his face.

September also picked peaches, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and handed it to Chun Tao. "Sister Chun Tao, you can taste it."

Chun Tao took the peach and took a bite, and in September she picked another one and wiped it clean and prepared to eat it, and happened to see the peach juice on her face in October, so she wiped her face with a handkerchief.

"Eat slowly, your face is full of juice." September is eating peaches while gently wiping October's face.

October's mouth is full of peach meat, and his face is bulging, and he smiles and tilts his head to let September wipe it.

It's more like a big sister than March. Chun Tao ate peaches and watched the interaction between the two sisters, and suddenly thought of March.

It is estimated that it will be fast in March, and it will already be in the county seat, and it must be fried, and it will be scolded! "Huh~" Thinking about it, Chun Tao suddenly laughed.

"Sister Chuntao, you, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes! What's wrong? Chun Tao suddenly laughed, September and October were frightened, holding peaches and letting the peach juice flow all over their hands.

"Nope!" I can't say it's fun to think of your sister jumping to her feet in anger! Chun Tao shook her head and continued to walk deeper into the peach forest. The deeper you go, the more peaches rot on the ground, and of course the more peaches on the branches, the redder they are.

October looked at his shoes stained with mud and rotten peach flesh, and was reluctant to go any further. "The road is too difficult, let's go back!"

"Hmm!" Chun Tao just looked at it casually, and since she didn't want to leave in October, she went back according to her wishes.

On the way back, the spring peaches picked some high places, and the better peaches were handed to September and October for them to take back. "Is that a bamboo forest?"

"Hmmm! On the opposite side is a bamboo forest, which is larger than the peach forest here. ”

Chun Tao looked at the lush and quiet bamboo forest in front of her, and was very yearning. "That's good."

"I still think the peach forest is good, there are peaches to eat, and there is nothing in the bamboo forest." October shook her head and looked at the peach in her arms.

Chun Tao didn't react to October's naΓ―ve words, just kept looking in the direction of the bamboo forest.

After a while, Chun Tao said: "There are also bamboo shoots to eat in the bamboo forest." ”

October thought about it carefully and said seriously: "But I don't like to eat bamboo shoots, I still prefer to eat peaches." ”

Chun Tao smiled slightly, and stopped talking, listening to September and October talking happily. When I came out of the peach forest, I suddenly saw an old man standing in the middle of a path where the peach forest and the bamboo forest meet, with his body lying on crutches, staring at the three of them.

"Sister Chuntao, let's hurry up!" September held October's hand and anxiously pushed the spring peach.

Although Chun Tao was puzzled, she still obediently cooperated with her and left quickly. "Who's that?"

"I don't know, it's just that he always likes to stare at people passing by like this, it's scary"

Chun Tao walked and walked, suddenly felt something, glanced back, and saw that the old man had come to the intersection, and happened to meet his gloomy eyes.

Who the hell is this!. Chun Tao only felt a chill in her back, and turned her head around with a clenched bite of her lip.

September is still speaking. "That's why my mother told us not to come near here."

Then you still go back with peaches, it's strange that March Niang doesn't know! Chun Tao collected her thoughts and wanted to remind the two, but she thought that the two of them had taken such a long way, and it would be a pity to throw them away, so she didn't say anything.

"Zhao... Spring... Peach! When the three of them walked to March's house, they saw March standing at the door of the house, leaning at the waist and yelling at the three.

Seeing that the situation was not right, September and October retreated again and again, quickly distancing themselves from Chun Tao.

Chun Tao was also frightened, and took a small half step back, only to find that September and October around her were gone. Turning his head, the two of them stood behind him and pulled away from him for a long distance.

"Three... March. Chun Tao stiffly turned to face the angry March, and kept trembling back.

"Zhao Chuntao, what do you mean! Let me move back alone, run to the bowl by myself, you and I will be your maid! March crossed her waist and said something that Chun Tao couldn't refute.

"No, I am..."

"It's not! Do you know how tired I am? ”

"I... I wanted to bring it back, but I didn't have much money on me, so I left it in the county seat. ”

March was still staring at Chun Tao with her waist crossed, angry, and didn't say a word.
