When the old king learned that the horse was missing, he felt his heart tighten, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.

He went to check it out, and found no sign of the horse.

The people in the village also said that they had not seen it.

Everyone is busy grabbing the harvest, how can they have time to care about the horses?

"This horse doesn't belong to our family!" This is the most distressing thing for the old king, if he loses someone else's horse, he must pay for it.

Someone asked, "How much does this horse cost?" I think it's pretty fast. ”

"At least thirty-five taels of silver!" When the old king went to buy a donkey cart, he asked about the carriage.

An ordinary donkey is two taels of silver, and the better ones are close to three taels.

According to the laws of Daechang Kingdom, ordinary people could buy ordinary horses, and ordinary horses were usually selected from war horses, or old horses.

In the event of war, the government can requisition it without compensation.

That kind of inferior horse, it can be used on weekdays, but if it goes to the battlefield, it is basically killed, so being requisitioned is equivalent to giving it to the government.

I don't really need it at home, and I generally don't buy it, and I don't think it's cost-effective.

Even if you can buy it, the price is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The quality of the horses that end up in the villages and towns is certainly worse, but they are still much better than donkeys.

The worst is thirty-five taels of silver, and the slightly better one is sixty or seventy taels.

Qin Huai's horse always felt better than the one on the market, and the old king didn't dare to imagine how much it was.

Hearing the price of the horse, the others gasped.

beckoned everyone to hurry up and find the horses.

Compared with a horse of a few dozen taels of silver, it doesn't matter if the grain in the field waits a little.

You can't let the old Wang family lose so much money, right?

Then there was a sudden rumbling in the sky.

It wasn't long before there was a loud noise.

There was thunder.

The old king's face changed: "Don't be busy, big guy, hurry up and collect food!" ”

Summer thundershowers come and go, and it usually doesn't take long from thunder to rain.

The adults hurriedly took out the rice that had been cut in the field, and picked up the good ones again.

The children panicked and began to collect food.

As a result, I heard a sound of ouching and ouching on the dam.

"My leg hurts!"

"God, I can't move, who's going to pull me!"

The children squatted for a long time, walking like ducks.

And harvest the grain quickly.

It's just painful and torturous.

Lao Wang's family has a lot of food, but fortunately, there are also a lot of children.

Coupled with the three remaining brothers, a total of 10 boys, and the silent and non-existent tangyuan, a group of people gathered all the food in a short time.

Then it was covered with a layer of tarpaulin, with straw on the surface and stones pressed around it.

And the grain was collected.

They were not idle after they finished collecting it, and hurried to help the others collect it.

Xiao Ayu waved her little arms and legs, and she was also helping to collect food.

She had a small dustpan made for him by the old king, humming, and took advantage of everyone's attention to receive the food in the space.

Then, when it is poured in the middle, put out the grain again.

Everyone was busy, and no one noticed Xiao Ayu's movements at all.

"Hey, it's so fast today!" There are also people who are amazed.

"I'm harvesting grain every day, isn't this just practiced?"

The busy farming will last for more than half a month, and some early families have been harvesting grain since a few days ago, and these children collect and dry grain every day, and move quickly.

"Smack-"

Suddenly, there was the sound of water dripping on the ground.

"Slap, smack—"

The sound grew louder and louder.

It's like someone is beating a drum, coming from far and near.

Water "copper coins" also began to appear on the ground, exploding round flowers.

Wang Dalang's face changed: "Harvest quickly, harvest quickly, the rain is coming!" ”

In the end, there was only one left, and everyone went to help.

As soon as the cloth was covered, the dense sound of rain came to me.

"Wow-"

"Whoop!!

Xiao Ayu was smashed with a rain flower on her forehead, she was stunned, touched it with her hand, and touched it wet.

Tang Yuan hurriedly ripped open his sleeves and wanted to protect Xiao Ayu from the rain, but where could he stop it?

"Sister Ayu, come here." Wang Wulang directly took off his single gown and put it on Xiao Ayu's head to help her cover the rain.

Wang Dalang hid all the tools for harvesting grain in oilcloths, and turned his head to beckon his younger brothers to hurry home.

My clothes were wet, but I didn't have to change them.

If it weren't for the help of others, they would have gone home after collecting their food, and they wouldn't have been caught in a single rain.

"Run!" After Wang Sanlang finished shouting, he also hurriedly ran forward.

The muddy road, which had rained, became very slippery, and Wang Sanlang slipped a long way at once, and fell into the soil with a snap.

The others laughed.

As a result, after a while, several fell on the path, and all of them became mud dolls.

They simply stopped running and started a mud fight in the field.

Xiao Ayu saw it and was a little eager to try.

Wang Dalang carried Xiao Ayu on his back and felt that Xiao Ayu was struggling, so he said, "Ayu, don't come down, let's go home first." ”

Xiao Ayu: "Big brother, I want to play too, I want to play too!" ”

It's so fun!

She had Wang Wulang's clothes on her head, and when her little eyes looked out from under the clothes, she saw the brothers in front of her who were rolling in the mud and having fun.

Wang Wulang also wanted to play, but when he saw that Xiao Ayu also wanted to go, he thought of the picture of Xiao Ayu being covered in mud, and turned into Grandma's Hades-like face.

I shuddered.

Tang Yuan reminded in a low voice: "There is a lotus pod over there." ”

Wang Wulang turned his head and saw the lotus pond not far away.

"Sister Ayu, let's go pick lotus flowers!"

Anyway, the clothes are all wet, and it's not bad for a while.

Compared with playing with mud, Xiao Ayu is a little more curious about lotus flowers.

Wang Dalang glared at Wang Wulang, he didn't know how to coax his sister home and pick her here!

I'll clean you up when I go back.

Wang Wulang stuck out his tongue at the eldest brother, made a grimace, turned his head and ran towards the lotus pond.

There are two big lotus ponds in Hujia Village, which was planted by Mrs. Hu, he likes to walk around the lotus pond, and when he is interested, he will also bring pen and ink to the lotus pond to paint.

On weekdays, he just doesn't allow everyone to pick lotus flowers, but lotus leaves are casual.

If the children want to make lotus leaf rice, they will pick two flowers.

Now, there are still a lot of lotus pods in the lotus pond, and the surrounding areas are basically removed, and the others are gathered in the middle.

Wang Wulang pulled up his trouser leg and went down to the lotus pond and picked a big handful.

When the other children saw this, they stopped playing with the mud and all went to the lotus pond to pick lotus flowers.

It's just right to eat lotus pods in this weather, the lotus pods are tender, and even the lotus seeds inside are not too bitter.

If you wait a little later, the lotus buds will become harder, and the taste will be much worse.

Xiao Ayu is the first time to eat lotus pods, the soft lotus pods are peeled off, and the little ones who are chirping round jump into the palm of their hands.

Then peel off the skin of the lotus pod, take out the lotus seed heart inside, and eat the remaining lotus seed meat into your mouth.

A fresh fragrance blooms on the tip of the tongue.

Xiao Ayu's eyes were round again: "Sweet, it's delicious!" ”

Everyone got a lotus pod in their hands, except for Wang Dalang, who was carrying Xiao Ayu.

Xiao Ayu held her little hand forward and stretched out to Wang Dalang: "Big brother, do you want to eat?" ”

Wang Dalang originally wanted to bring these babies back quickly, the thunderstorm came and went quickly, and now it just stopped.

Hearing Xiao Ayu's soft and glutinous voice, Wang Dalang said to himself again.

Forget it, Sister Ayu rarely goes home now, so let her play more.

There is no such lotus pond in the town for her to play with.
