Chapter 36: Sacrifice to Rescue
The italic Chinese characters on the stone made Jiang Luo feel very good.
She looked at these three words with a smile, and sure enough, no one could refuse the charm of Chinese culture. Jiang Cheng only studied for half a year, and actually wrote down Chinese characters with a pen, instead of the language he had learned for ten years.
"In my opinion, there are a lot of dolls in the village, and you can follow Ah Cheng to read and write when you are free."
Uncle Sun proposed.
Jiang Cheng naturally agreed, he remembered that the "Historical Records" said that Cang Liao knew etiquette and knew honor and disgrace when he had enough food and clothing.
Of course, this matter was only mentioned casually by Uncle Sun, and no one in the village took it to heart. It is true that they respect the scholars, but after they can eat enough, more people want to eat well and dress well.
If the dolls go to read and write, there will be one less helper at home.
Jiang Luo's daily life is also simple, get up early in the morning and walk along the lake to the hillside to look at the green wheat fields and smell the fresh air. At noon, Jiang Cheng and Bo Ning came back with water, so she went to water the vegetable patch in front of and behind the house, took a nap in the afternoon, got up to read, and began to sit in the yard at dusk to enjoy the sunset and clouds.
On this day, Jiang Luo sat in the yard and fiddled with the little greens, and Jiang Ran next to her still practiced her embroidery hard.
Chen Xianyue embroidered flowers in her free time, she had already saved several handkerchiefs of embroidered essence, thinking that the next time someone in the village entered the city, she asked someone to sell it, so that she could save some money for emergencies.
Jiang Ran also thinks so, but her craftsmanship really has too much room for improvement.
Jiang Luo had a whim, "Honeysuckle." ”
"Master, I'm here."
"Do you have a forecast for the weather?" She didn't have any doubts about whether all the data on the spaceship was processed by the main system, and she really didn't notice if there was such a function as a storage space like honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle was full of confidence, "Master, I'm a universal system, nothing can't be." ”
"Almighty?" Jiang Luo sneered, "So you can only store a wide variety of things, but a small amount?" ”
"It's not that your storage space is not strong, and I was starved half a year ago?" Jiang Luo complained.
Honeysuckle was awkwardly silent, and after a long time, it spoke leisurely, "I predict that there will be moderate rain in this area at noon in three days. The precipitation in 24 hours is 10~25 mm. ”
"yes, I didn't think you still had this feature." Jiang Luo smiled and plucked a little green cabbage, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she buried the little green cabbage again.
If it rains three days later, you won't have to work hard every day to carry water for irrigation!
"Brother~"
Jiang Cheng heard her voice in the courtyard, put down the scroll, and responded, "What's wrong?" ”
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's go to the mountains to collect firewood."
"Then Berning is going to fetch water by himself?" He asked.
Jiang Boning had just finished cleaning up the firewood room, and he nodded in response hurriedly, "I can do it myself." ”
"No, I watched the sky last night, and it may rain in three days, so I don't need to carry water when I come back from picking up firewood in the past two days." Jiang Luo explained.
Jiang Ran put down the embroidery in his hand, "Really!" ”
"I heard that it hasn't rained in this place for almost two years, so it will really rain in three days?" She was as excited as if she had picked up silver.
Before this place was planted, the loess was all over the mountains, and the wind blew, and the wind and dust were blind.
"Of course, how could I lie to Sister Ranran." Jiang Luo walked up to her, picked up the handkerchief she embroidered and looked at it.
Kindness...... How so? The level is very stable.
Jiang Luo wanted to tell her that the path of embroidery might not be suitable for her, but every time she spoke, she met her expectant gaze, and Jiang Luo thought that it was better not to hit other people's self-confidence.
The moon was dark, and the night breeze was much cooler.
A dreamless night.
Jiang Luo got up early, waiting to go up the mountain with Jiang Cheng and them to collect firewood.
The hillside behind Jiangjia Village is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is just a dirt slope. The mountains are full of withered yellow trees and bushes, and the people of the village are cutting wood on the mountains to make fires.
When it rains, everything grows, and the mountain is verdant, and the scenery should be good.
Jiang Luo followed behind them to pick up firewood, Jiang Ran went up the mountain for the first time, and everything felt fresh when she saw it, and she followed Chen Xianyue to the front.
Jiang Boning carried the axe borrowed from the village and cut down the trees, and Jiang Cheng was responsible for cleaning up the piles so that they could be carried back.
Jiang Luo followed behind to clean up the tiny branches, and before she could make a move, Jiang Cheng told her again and again, telling her to be careful not to scratch her hands.
Jiang Boning too, the afterglow has been falling on her, afraid that she will do dangerous things.
She felt helpless and buried herself in collecting firewood.
These people are too careful! She's not a crystal glass ball, could it be that she will shatter when you touch it?
Jiang Luo picked up the dead branches in the pile of fallen leaves and put them together.
"Luo'er, you take a break, I'll just do these jobs." Jiang Boning persuaded her.
She raised her head to meet Jiang Boning's condescending gaze, he was stronger, and his face was fleshy, and he looked a lot better than before.
The eyes are bright, the lips are thin and shaped, and the face is well-defined and very handsome.
In contrast, Jiang Cheng is more delicate because of his young age, but he is more handsome and detailed.
Jiang Luo was slightly distracted, when will her love of appreciating beauty be changed.
"It's okay, I'll do it. This work is not heavy, besides, you all work, I am idle, then I am not eating dry rice for nothing~"
"Sister, don't say that you eat for nothing, it's not too much to be a princess." Jiang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and teased her with a smile.
Jiang Luo sighed secretly in her heart, fortunately she was determined, otherwise she would have been raised as a waste by these people.
She didn't pay attention, she just picked up the branches, her fingers touching the cold object, and she looked at it intently.
The yellow-green snake with a triangular head, about thirty centimeters long, stared at Jiang Luo with its head tilted and spitting letters.
Jiang Luo's heart was cold, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
She is not afraid of anything in her life! The most feared snake!
"Ahh
The serpent flew at her like an arrow.
Jiang Luo couldn't dodge and closed his eyes in despair.
"Be careful!"
The expected pain in his body did not appear, Jiang Luo opened his eyes, and saw Jiang Boning grabbing the snake with his hand and throwing it out violently.
The snake reacted very quickly, and when it looked back, it bit Jiang Boning's wrist.
He snorted and stood in front of Jiang Luo.
"You...... Are you okay? ”
"I'm fine." Jiang Luo was shocked.
Jiang Cheng heard the screams of the two, quickly stepped forward, held a wooden stick, and squashed the snake's head fiercely.
"Jiang Boning, are you stupid?" Jiang Luo panicked and hurriedly tore the clothes on his sleeves.
"I ...... I used to hear from the old people in the village that the pointed snake head is a poisonous snake, and I am afraid that it will hurt you. ”
"Nonsense, then you can't grab it with your hands."
Jiang Luo's tears fell uncontrollably, she was so frightened that the hand that was dealing with the wound couldn't help but tremble.
