Talking vigorously, tears kept flowing down.

Ever since the death of his beloved, the shadow in his heart has been lingering, and the voice of his wife's pleading in his arms rings in his ears at any time, which also brings him a deep sense of guilt.

Later, someone proposed to him and persuaded him to continue, but he never agreed, he was afraid, afraid to see his wife's eyes before she died.

The sun had already risen three poles, imprinting the figures of the two on the ground, pulling the elder. One of them stood silently, the other sat silently, and neither had the desire to speak.

He didn't know how much damage the protracted war of the Xiongnu had caused to the Xiongnu, but he was clear about the damage he had brought to his country, because his customers came from all walks of life, and it could be said that he knew the current situation of the country better than his father, and he was also strongly opposed to this meaningless war. And the kiss, it sounds like it's cruel, but the object of the kiss is the royal family, the princess, and the county lord, this is their fate, and it has nothing to do with the commoners.

"You're still married" Liu Ju first broke the silence, a woman's dystocia is a matter of life and death, he knows, but this is a woman's catastrophe, it is destined by God, it has nothing to do with people, even in the palace, he does not dare to guarantee absolute safety. But starvation to death is a human factor, and women cannot be given a chance to live because they are afraid of difficult childbirth.

"No!" Vigorously wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said in a very resolute tone.

"His father really didn't live long. He has tuberculosis," Liu Ju noticed that there were some blood stains on the edge of the stone mill.

"How do you know?"

"Look at this." Liu Ju pointed to the place where the person got up just now and supported it with his hands, a little red, and the blood stains had not dried yet: "He is coughing up blood"

"Is there really no rule of law?"

"Even in the palace, the imperial doctors are helpless, and it is a terminal illness."

"Alas~~" Dali sighed deeply, didn't say anything more, he could only sympathize with this family, not to mention the doctor, there is not even a Langzhong in this village now, it turned out that there was, but the family had already moved away. Now if anyone in the village has a headache and brain fever, he will "carry" with one word, and if he doesn't accept it, he should not end his fate.

"Master, you can use the morning food" The inner servant tiptoed over, behind Liu Ju, and said softly.

"Got it, let's go down" Liu Ju waved his hand.

The morning food is still soup cakes, and what is soup cakes is something like noodles or noodles made by grinding wheat into flour. Liu Ju was eating alone in the house, while Dali, Nei Shi and the two sons sat around the stone mill in the courtyard, each with a big earthen bowl, holding the bowl and eating his own.

Dali noticed that the older child didn't seem to be normal, and looked a little stupid.

"The prince won't have a stupid son, right" This is the first feeling of Dali, this thought just rose, quickly shook his head, shook off this thought, picked up the big black bowl, and buried his whole face in the bowl, so as not to be discovered, even a fool will not say that someone's son is a fool to his face.

"Uncle Dali, what are you going to do after eating?" Xiao Budian was eating, while looking at the vigorous drinking with a bowl of baldness, I felt very strange, just eat, what are you bald, the soup cake is not very delicious, but it is not so delicious to the point of exaggeration, right? In order to pull Dali's mouth out of the bowl, Xiao Budian took the initiative to talk to Dali, originally to follow the teaching of eating without saying and sleeping without speaking, but this bald sound was too shocking.

"Harvest the wheat." Dali also had to take his mouth off the edge of the bowl, and glanced at Xiao Budian, not that he was embarrassed that his bald sound disturbed the eating of others, but that it was very interesting, and one of the most incapable people took the initiative to ask to work.

"I'll help you," Xiao Budian replied without hesitation, he didn't know what kind of work it was to harvest wheat, but he had to stop him from putting his mouth in the bowl.

"Can you help me? Haha" vigorously haha twice, sure enough, he didn't have time to play the first function of his mouth, and he looked at Xiao Budian very carefully, and then said, "You really can't help me." ”

"Why, I won't eat idle food"

"Look at your uncle's hands, harvesting wheat is to be done with your hands, your hands are thin and tender, but you can't do this" Dali finally put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and stretched out a pair of hands to Xiao Budian, which was a pair of calloused hands.

"Why don't you use a scythe?" Nei Shi is a person with strong eyesight, his brain is not flexible, how can he be assigned to the prince's side on an errand, and he was stunned to understand the meaning of this clever ghost, will the descendants of the royal family care what kind of hands you have, he cares that you affect his meal! So, he took over the conversation and let the little master have a smooth dining environment.

"Scythe? Many years ago, there was no need for a sickle, and even the hoe for plowing the ground was made of wood. He vigorously measured his body, pointed to the various farm tools placed under the eaves with his calloused one, and said to the waiter.

"Why don't you use iron tools, isn't it easy to use?" He is not born rich, if he is a rich and noble family, how can he suffer from a knife, lose the dignity of being a man and enter the palace as a eunuch, how can he not know that iron is better than wood? To be honest, it is to let Dali talk more, and it is best not to eat until the little master finishes eating.

"They were all taken away by the yamen, except for the pot." He replied vigorously, turned his body right, and reached out to grab the chopsticks on the stone platform.

"Then that ......" saw that he stretched out his hand vigorously to the dishes and chopsticks, and the sweat of the inner service was about to come out, this little thing could not be done well, it would leave a very bad impression on the owner, why are you in a hurry to eat: "Pot, by the way, pot, why don't you use a pot to make a sickle?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the internal servant jumped himself, what did he say? I couldn't understand it, but the words had already come out, and I couldn't explain that I was abrupt, so I had to make an unfathomable look.

"What, you said to make a sickle out of a pot?" This time, looking at the unfathomable internal servant, he was really confused, and he forgot to serve the bowl: "How to make a sickle in a pot?" Can a pot be made into a sickle? ”

"Look, what is the pot made of?" The internal service is going to hold back the internal injury, there is no way, this topic must be continued, the purpose is said only when you speak, and it doesn't matter what you say specifically.

"Tie Ya" vigorously worshipped, today I can meet a master, the iron pot can also be used as a sickle, and I don't have to use my hands anymore. I've been doing it for decades.

"And what is the scythe made of?"

"It's iron, too."

"That's right, they're all iron in nature, right?"

"That's right"

"It's just a different shape, right?"

"That's right"

"Isn't this over, there is no essential difference between a pot and a sickle"

"What's next?"

"What's next?"

"How do you make a pot into a sickle?"

"A pot is a pot, why make a pot into a sickle? How can you cook rice without a pot, you say that's the reason. ”

"Didn't you say that you use a pot to make a sickle?"

"How could I say such brainless things, isn't that? I mean sell the pot and buy a sickle. ”

"What do you cook with?"

"Sell the sickle and buy the pot again."

"Huh?"

"Ahh It's all cold. After a meal of nonsense, even he didn't know what he said, and finally saw Xiao Budian put down the bowl and put the chopsticks neatly next to the bowl, indicating that he had finished eating, and the internal servant finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, yes, yes, eat, eat" Dali then remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and he didn't care about the iron pot or sickle, and it was important to eat, and he had to harvest wheat.

The wheat field of the Hercules family is not far from home. Because of safety issues, Liu Ju didn't come, of course, he didn't come, it was a miracle when the prince of the dynasty would harvest, not to mention that Dali didn't believe it, and the prince himself didn't believe it, Dali was not alone, a villain still came, of course, it was the third child in the prince's mouth.

"This is the wheat?" Seeing the golden wheat field, Xiao San was very surprised. There are not many wheat fields of the Mighty Family, and there are not many, and there are two or three hundred acres. More than half of the harvest was complete, bare, and a small half was confiscated. If it weren't for the sale of straw sandals at the bazaar, the wheat would have been harvested.

"Yes" vigorously pulled up the cuffs and trouser legs, walked into the wheat field, and at the same time instructed the junior: "You just wait in the field, and we will go home together after harvesting." ”

When he left vigorously, Xiao San also tried to pick up the wheat that had turned yellow and ripe, and was bent over by heavy ears of wheat.

Dali didn't lie to him, he didn't pick up any of them, and there were red marks on his little hands, so he had no choice but to give up. Sitting on the ridge, I saw that Dali had already gathered a small pile.

"Is it really by hand? What kind of knife is that scythe? "I don't think of the sickle that I said when I was eating. The knife, he had seen, the one hanging from the waist of the guards, was called the Pu knife. I have never seen or heard of a scythe.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you? Just when Xiao San was studying what kind of sickle it was, an equally immature voice sounded in his ears.

Xiao San looked up in response and saw three girls standing side by side not far from him, from the oldest to the smallest, and the one who asked was obviously the youngest, because she was tilting her neck to look at herself.

Xiao San glanced around, but didn't find anyone else, and made sure that he was greeting himself, so he stood up, patted his buttocks, pulled off the dead grass that stuck to his body, and then tilted his head to a large number of other parties.

"Do you know the scythe?" Xiao San has been thinking about the sickle in his heart, originally he wanted to ask Dali, but Dali was pouting his buttocks, handful of wheat, and he didn't have time to deal with him, and when he saw the three sisters, he asked them for advice.

"Yes," he replied, and sure enough, it was the youngest one, and the other two didn't speak, but just looked at him with curiosity.

Hearing this answer, Xiao San's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was full of hope: "Do you have a sickle at home?" ”

"We don't have it at home," the little girl shook her head

"You don't have it at home, so who does?" Xiao San was a little disappointed.

"The Rizheng family has it."

"Who is Li Zheng?" Another strange name.

"Lizheng is Lizheng"

"Do you know what the scythe is for?" Xiao San still decided to figure out the sickle first, and then talk about it, no matter what he is right inside and outside.

"Of course, it's for wheat harvesting"

"Didn't you harvest wheat with your hands? Just like Uncle Hercules."

"You don't have a scythe"

"Oh, that's right." Xiao San gave up the idea of continuing to ask, it was too hard to talk to you, ask and answer, or wait back to ask the internal service, he must know, and he will also tell himself clearly, these three, at first glance, are firewood girls, nothing.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao San felt that he should drive the three stupid girls away and not play with fools, this is his mother's family motto.

"Daddy asked us to come over and help with the work"

"Then you're not going?" Xiao San squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

"We, we can't move" The little girl didn't know why her father wanted them to come, but she really couldn't do this job, and the tears of grievance couldn't help but flow down her cheeks, and the voice was so small that it was not as good as a mosquito.

"Why are you here if you don't move, go back" Tears are useful, what do you want to do with a sickle, this period of time, Xiao San is used to seeing tears, grandmother's tears, father's tears, mother's tears, brother's tears, sister-in-law's tears Anyway, all kinds of tears, this emperor and grandson don't believe in tears.

"My father said that if the work is not finished, he will not let us go back." The little girl continued.

"How can you have such a heartless father" Xiao San really sympathized with these three sisters, and said in his heart, he wanted to come over to help, but he didn't come, and he got three people to eat for nothing, he must have come to eat. Work and take care of food, Xiao San still knows this, if he doesn't work, he will take care of food, and it is unreasonable. Why did I come here, isn't it just to show that I also work, and I don't eat white rice, although I can't do anything.

No way! Resolutely can't let them rub the rice in vain, you rub the rice all the time, how can we rub it: "If you don't move, you won't borrow the sickle, didn't you say that the Lizheng family has it?" Go borrow it! ”

"He has a dog at home, and we don't dare to go"

"Got a dog?! How dare there be a dog in this place? "Hearing that there is a dog, Xiao Bu's eyes lit up, dog meat can have a natural relationship with our old Liu family, his great-great-great-great-grandfather Liu Bang, is a family that relies on dog meat, and lays down the country of this big man.

"Your two sisters can't be mute, right? Why didn't they say a word? Xiao San looked at the two stupid eldest sisters and stupid second sisters who were standing on the side, stupid and stupid, dealing with dogs, he couldn't rely on him, and he couldn't do it with the little stupid girl, so he had to add the two stupid eldest sisters.

"You're dumb!" Silly Er finally spoke.

"Didn't your father let you do the work, and you just stood stupidly?" Xiao San looked at the stupid eldest sister and the stupid second sister, and said unhappily.

"Didn't the third sister say it? We can't do that. ”

"What about you? You can't do it either? Xiao San turned his gaze to the stupid eldest sister, the stupid eldest sister is tall and big, at least sixteen or seventeen years old, if you also say that you can't do it, you definitely don't want to do it, you just want to come to eat.

The silly eldest sister was not verbose, she glanced at Xiao Budian angrily, rolled up her sleeves and walked into the wheat field, bent down and began to gather the waist-high wheat. But as soon as she took a few handfuls, she held her hands and squatted there, burying her head in her arms, and at a glance she knew that she was crying.

Silly two and silly three, when they saw that the situation was wrong, hurriedly ran over. The second sister took her sister's hand and saw that her hands were full of blood.

"Sister, you're bleeding!" Silly two and silly three panicked, took their sister's hand and didn't know what to do, and cried.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, why are you crying?" Xiao Budian also followed, and when he saw the sisters crying, he said unhurriedly. I didn't let you do the work, it was your immoral father who brought you here:

"Go back, help and let your father come."

"My dad can't come," the little silly girl said, raising her teary eyes.

"He can't come, what's the use of you coming, just come to mix rice and eat"

"We're not here to mix rice, we're bringing our own rice" After speaking, the silly girl took out a dry cake from her arms, black and swarthy.

"Upside down? And this good thing? Your family must owe Uncle Dali money, so let you work to pay the bill? This can't be done, you haven't done anything, you can't resist. Xiao Budian was very angry in his heart, what kind of father is this, he is too calculating. From now on, vigorously money, not only vigorously, but also ours. I didn't know what the money was used for, but now I know it clearly and clearly. Since they came to work to settle the bills, they had to let them work, scratch their heads, and forget about the dog meat.

"Didn't you say that the sickle is for the harvest of wheat? If you have a scythe, will you be able to work? ”

"With a scythe, we can do it," the little silly girl stood up and said in affirmation.

The scythe of the Rimasa family, she has used. It's just that there is a price to use a scythe, and she doesn't know what the price is. But when it was time to harvest, his family had to borrow the sickle of the Lizheng family, because his father was sick and could not do heavy work, and her family basically relied on her mother for farm work, and her mother could not harvest wheat, so she could only use the sickle.
