Chapter 22: Lack of Heart
To the east of the slope, at the village site that Shen Jingcheng had drawn Lin Hu to divide for the immigrants, several young men were patrolling around this area.
"Hey, is it really okay if we don't patrol the west all the time?" A young voice asked.
"What's so bad? Today, there is no one with the surname Gu on duty, what are you going to go around? The other teenager's voice replied indifferently.
"Also, the surname Gu and the person surnamed Shen occupy too much space, and it is really tiring to walk so many miles and turn around."
"You're stupid, if I didn't go there in the first place, and that kid surnamed Shen doesn't take a turn, why should you patrol with him?"
"You can't say that, what if something happens over there?"
"If something happens, something will happen, we don't owe him, we shouldn't have him, who is to blame if he doesn't participate in patrols."
"That's right, the whole village is out, but he doesn't come out, and when he becomes the mayor, he really thinks he is a big man......"
A few people talked and laughed and drifted away, and Shen Jingcheng stood quietly in the shadows and watched a few people leave.
In the night, his eyes were cold.
What doesn't deserve him, doesn't owe him?
Something happens when something happens?
Then ...... So be it.
Shen Jingcheng took a deep look at the village under the dirt slope, and went home with Gu Jin on his back, Gu Jin, who had been sleeping all along, didn't know anything about what happened tonight.
The next day, Gu Jin woke up in Shen Jingcheng's arms, and when he opened his eyes, he met his sleeping face that was getting more and more handsome, and he couldn't help but feel better instantly.
These eyebrows, these eyes, they look really good, I don't know how this person looks, a face is actually better than the previous life, and the height is a lot taller than the previous life, if she hadn't grown up with him, if it weren't for the fact that the eyebrows and eyes hadn't changed, she wondered if this person had been dropped.
Gu Jin reached out and tugged at the eyelashes under his eyes wickedly, what does a man do with such long eyelashes? It would be nice if I had my own eyes.
Shen Jingcheng actually woke up a long time ago, but he didn't like to move very much, and when he felt the movement in his eyes, he slowly opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw her bad heart.
"Awake?" Shen Jingcheng looked at her quietly in a lazy tone, not wanting to move at all.
He didn't want to move, but Gu Jin remembered, but as soon as he moved, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but gasp lightly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Shen Jingcheng hurriedly asked, but there was no surprise in his eyes, as if he had already known why she was shouting.
"My neck seems to be stiff neck." Gu Jin said and turned his head slightly to the right, and immediately hissed in pain.
"I'll give you a push." Shen Jingcheng got up and asked her to sit with her back to her, and pressed it around her neck.
Her neck was slender and fair, and the bruises the size of a fingerprint were particularly conspicuous.
Shen Jingcheng gently pressed the bruised place, distressed and weak.
If he wasn't afraid that something would happen to him when he left last night, if he wasn't afraid that he would really beat someone up and scare her if he encountered something again, he wouldn't have done this to her.
Gu Jin kept gasping quietly, and after a while, he felt much better, which made Shen Jingcheng stop and hurriedly get off the kang and run to the thatched house.
As soon as Gu Jin left, Shen Jingcheng also got up, looked at what was in the kitchen and began to cook.
In the past few years, I have always watched Gu Jin cook, and he can almost do it, basically he will take the initiative to cook when he has time.
Gu Jin came back from the thatched house and saw that he had already started to burn the fire, so he went to the side to wash, completely unaware that his neck pain was not a stiff neck, but was pinched by Shen Jingcheng.
After eating, the two waited for the workers to come and lead the oxen and farm tools, and then went down to the field together.
These people who work are still the few families in the village who had nothing when they first arrived. The difference is that although they still don't have ploughing cattle and large farm tools, almost every family has a few small farm tools such as sickles and shovels.
I don't know why, Shen Jingcheng doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, when these people worked in the past, Shen Jingcheng would always do his best to work together, especially in the past two years, after he grew taller, he was not inferior to those strong laborers who were in the same year.
But today Shen Jingcheng didn't do anything, seeing those people sweating like rain, he sat on the ground with Gu Jin in a calm manner, and he didn't mean to go to the ground at all.
Of course, Gu Jin is even more impossible to do, although Shen Jingcheng has been taking her to the ground all these years, he has never let her reach out to work, for fear of tiring her.
Gu Jin didn't know what was wrong with Shen Jingcheng, thinking that he was uncomfortable, so he leaned over him and asked with concern in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”
"Nope." Shen Jingcheng smiled, as if he was a little melancholy, and said: "I just don't know how many eggs the locust left behind after it passed, and whether it will be gnawed again after planting the millet this time." ”
Gu Jin heard that he was worried about this, and sighed softly as he looked at the crop stalks left everywhere.
Yes, I don't know how many eggs those locusts have left, and even if they plant millet, will they be gnawed again after the seedlings emerge.
Not to mention Shen Jingcheng, even she can't lift her energy.
However, she didn't know that Shen Jingcheng was thinking more than this, he looked at the Yang Shishi family working in the field from time to time, and his eyes were slightly cold.
He didn't know about others, but the young man who said last night that he didn't owe him and shouldn't have an accident was Yang Erniu, the eldest son of Yang Shishi, and the other two people who talked to Yang Erniu were the sons of the other two families.
He really didn't expect that these teenagers who usually only work with their heads bored would think like this, and he didn't know how unwilling the two people who had such thoughts were to work for themselves every day, and maybe these two teenagers were not the only ones who had such thoughts?
The more Shen Jingcheng thought about it, the more he didn't know what happened last night, he didn't know what to tell Gu Jin.
After a few years of getting along, this girl still has some feelings for those people, if she knows that these people will say that behind her back, how disappointed and sad she should be?
It's nothing if Shen Jingcheng doesn't work for a day or two, but if he doesn't work for five or six days, he will be popular.
"Captain, we're all helping your family, but you're not doing anything, isn't it suitable?" Yang Erniu came to Shen Jingcheng with a face full of righteous indignation.
"Helping my family?" Shen Jingcheng looked at Yang Erniu up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you come to work for me because you wanted to use my oxen and plough to farm the land?" Aren't we swapped, how can you 'help' my family? ”
Shen Jingcheng put the word 'help' very seriously, help is gratuitous, but the exchange is different.
"Y-Why are you talking like that?" Yang Erniu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said angrily: "How much work do we do for you?" How many days will you give us cows? If we didn't help you farm the land, you could have the land now? ”
"Oh, you think it's unfair?" Shen Jingcheng raised his eyebrows, raised his chin and nodded at the people who had stopped their work since Yang Erniu came over, and asked, "Are you the only one who thinks so, or do those people think so?" ”
Yang Erniu's heart was pounding when he asked, but he still mustered up his courage and said: "Of course it's all of us, you are too bullying, we will work for you from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but you only let us plough more than ten acres of land with cattle per family, and the landlord is not as ruthless as you." ”
"Oh, that's right." Shen Jingcheng seemed to be very embarrassed to smile, stood up and patted the soil on his body, and beckoned to everyone in the field: "Don't do it yet, come here." ”
