The brocade fairy looked back and saw that the man who had just come ashore from the lake was dressed and was a farmer of eighteen or nineteen.

Although the clothes were gray coarse linen and somewhat shabby, they were cleanly washed.

The man's eyes were gentle, not as rough as the ordinary mortal farmer that the brocade fairy imagined.

The young man was holding the peach blossom left by the brocade fairy in his hand, as if he had picked up a treasure, he looked at it again and again, and put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's so fragrant, not like the fragrance of ordinary peach blossoms." ”

The man looked around, the wide lake was blown by the wind and rippled, except for the crop field was a few scattered old locust trees, there were no peach trees, where did the peach blossoms come from?

The man frowned, looked up at the sky, and when he saw the colorful glow on the horizon, his brows stretched out again, "Didn't it fall from the sky?" I heard that the immortals under the moon live in the sky, and a red thread in his hand can make a lover eventually become a family, isn't this peach blossom given to me by the immortals under the moon?"

The brocade fairy stood incognito beside the man, listening to the man's self-talk, smiling on his face, thinking to himself, this man's imagination is rich, and he actually guessed a rough idea, but the red thread was not drawn to him, but the fairy left behind.

The brocade fairy was about to take back the peach blossom in the man's hand, but the man suddenly put the peach blossom into his arms.

The peach blossom was placed close to the man, and the brocade fairy stretched out her hand and retracted it.

How can this be retrieved? and you can't use mana in front of mortals.

After the man put the peach blossom in his arms, he walked down the rock and drove the two cows that were still grazing grass by the lake in the direction of the village.

The brocade fairy can only follow.

The man led the cow and hummed a country tune.

The voice was pleasant, and the brocade fairy didn't expect the mortal singing voice to be so good.

From the lake to the nearest village, there is a mountain stone in front of the village, on which are roughly carved three words "Dongjiazhuang".

The man led the oxen into the village, and many people greeted him warmly along the way, and the man responded enthusiastically.

"Ayong, I'm back so late. ”

"Yes, let the cows eat more grass by the lake. ”

"Ah Yong, dinner hasn't been cooked yet, Auntie has two boiled sweet potatoes here for you to take home. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I have the wild fruit I picked by the lake today, and I will give it to you to taste. ”

The young man named "Ah Yong" accepted the two sweet potatoes stuffed by the fat aunt, and at the same time gave away a few wild fruits at hand.

Walking a few steps further, passing by a house, one of the uncles stood at the door and saw Ayong coming back with a cow, and greeted him with a smile, "Ayong, your third aunt steamed buns today, bring you a few back." ”

"Thank you, Uncle San, I have dinner today, and I live alone, so I can't eat so much. ”

Ayong smiled and refused and continued to walk forward.

On the eastern edge of Dongjiazhuang, there are three farmhouses, which are Ayong's home.

The farmhouse was the simplest adobe house, with a thatched roof and a cowshed in the yard.

Ayon tied the oxen into the barn, added some fodder and water, and finally entered the house.

The brocade fairy also followed Ayong into the house incognito.

The furnishings in the house are simple, there are incense tables and chairs in the main room, and there are two tablets on the table, which are written "Xian Yan XX, Xian Kao XX", and the front of the row is to supply fruits and burn incense.

Ah Yong first bowed to the tablet and said: "Daddy, tomorrow is the third anniversary of the death of the second elder, three years have passed, although the filial piety period has passed, but the child will always enshrine the tablet of the second elder, just like the child can serve his parents every day, I hope that the soul of the second elder in the sky can rest in peace." ”

After speaking, Ayong bowed to the tablet again.

The brocade fairy stood incognito beside Ah Yong, looked at everything he did, and sighed: "It turned out to be a filial son, and filial piety comes first, and I think this person's character will not be bad." ”

Ayong cleaned up briefly in the house and ate a sweet potato for dinner, after which it was completely dark.

The brocade fairy thought to himself, it was dark, this man should always strip and sleep, and then he would definitely take out the peach blossoms, and it would not be too late to take them away.

Unexpectedly, after Ayong arrived in the back room, he turned on the oil lamp and read a book under the lamp.

Brocade fairy, take a closer look, this Ah Yong is reading some books about the strategy of fixing the country and securing the country.

Could it be that this Ayong actually wants to be an official?

The brocade fairy had doubts in his heart, but looking at the four walls of his house, he probably wanted to be an official and make a fortune.

As soon as this thought came to the brocade fairy's heart, there was a sudden thunderclap outside the window, and it actually rained.

The god of water comes here to rain at night.

The wind blew raindrops into the house through the window, and Ayon stood up and closed the window.

Back at the desk, Na Ayong glanced at the book twice, put it down again, picked up the pen, and wrote two couplets on a blank piece of paper:

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear.

Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned.

Putting down the pen, Ah Yong sighed again: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, these few things, I can only do well now is self-cultivation." ”

This Ayong seems ordinary, but he has such ambitions.

The light in front of the desk gradually dimmed, and the handwriting in the book was blurry, and Ah Yong closed the book and prepared to go to bed.

The brocade fairy waits for the opportunity, as long as he takes the peach blossom out of his chest, the brocade fairy can get back his marriage red line.

Ah Yong took off his coat, didn't take out the peach blossoms, wore the clothes inside and uncovered the quilt, got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

What is the best thing to do now? You can't lift the quilt and take off his clothes and take out the peach blossoms.

The brocade fairy thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't do it himself, just stayed by the bedside until dawn.

——

The next morning, Ayong began another day's work.

After the rooster crowed, Ayong had already eaten breakfast, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, led the oxen, and prepared to go out to work in the fields.

As soon as he went out, a man with a strong body ran up, about the same age as Ayong, but his body was much stronger than him, and Ayong's figure was slightly thin in comparison.

"Dong Yong!" the sturdy man shouted from afar.

"Da Zhuang, what's the urgency so early?"

"The cow of the third aunt in the village gave birth to a calf, and it was difficult to give birth, so let you go over and take a look. ”

Dong Yong stuffed the morning glory rope in his hand to Da Zhuang, "Help me tie the cow under the old locust tree by the lake, and I will go to the third aunt's house to deliver the calf." ”

"Well, you have the most experience in midwifery, so go quickly. ”

This Dong Yong is not only a cattle herder, but also a cattle herder who can deliver cattle.

The brocade fairy followed Dong Yong, who was trotting all the way, to the third aunt's house at the head of Dongjiazhuang Village.

In the cowshed in the yard of the third aunt's house, two elderly couples were walking around anxiously.

"Third uncle and third aunt, how is the cow?"

The old couple was busy making way for Dong Yong, "Difficult to give birth, the calf cub came out with one leg exposed." ”

The cow reclined on the hay in the barn, with a slender calf leg under its tail, bloody and wet.

Dong Yong leaned over to inspect it, and ordered with a serious face: "Prepare a basin of hot water and a pair of scissors." ”

"Okay, I'll go. The third aunt left in response.

The brocade fairy was hidden on the side, this was the first time she had seen a mortal give birth to a cow, and it looked thrilling.
