Chapter 62: Overboard
Regarding Nangong Qiao's sudden dedication, Shen Yunqing instinctively retreated, and by the way, he doubted whether the deal could be done.
In the face of Shen Yunming's rejection, Nangong Qiao was not angry at all, and even thought that this was a girl's desire to refuse.
……
In this way, I stayed in Lanqiao Village for a few days, and saw that the rice was ripening day by day, and it was about to be harvested, but I did not wait for the officers and soldiers who came to collect grain.
"Could it be that King Ning has given up?"
Shen Yunqing stood on the edge of the ridge, stretched out his hand to hold up a handful of rice ears, and gently kneaded the ears with his thumb and index finger.
The grains are full, and it seems that the last time the locusts did not cause serious damage to the rice fields, it is also possible that the last time the locusts came, the crops did not bear ears.
Nangong Qiao stood beside her, looked at her movements with low eyebrows, and answered: "It shouldn't be, it may be that something is delayed." ”
He learned Shen Yunqing's movements, and also held up a handful of tassels and twisted them in his hand, ready to tear them off, but was stopped by Shen Yunqing: "What are you pulling them for?" There are still a few days left to harvest......"
“……”
Nangong Qiao lowered his eyebrows and looked at the tassel in Shen Yunqing's hand without speaking.
Shen Yunqing followed his line of sight, and also looked at the tassel in his hand, and then understood: "I'm just going to see if the grains are full, and calculate how much Uncle Gan and they can harvest." ”
After saying that, she easily opened the tassel in her hand and took two steps forward.
Nangong Qiao followed: "Do you still understand this?" ”
"That's nature, I'm from Nan'an Village, how can a child who grew up in the village not understand this?"
Nangong Qiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Then tell me, how many percent can they have this year?" ”
"Less than thirty percent!"
"So little?"
Shen Yunqing stopped, turned around and looked at Nangong Qiao steadily, and analyzed: "This year is already a big drought, and it is normal for crops to be reduced. ”
The other party listened to her analysis, nodded and asked, "Then what if the next wave of locusts is not eliminated?" ”
"Then there is no Chengdu, the crops will not be harvested, and you will have to deal with the requisition!"
The two chatted with each other, and a girl came up to them.
The girl was in her teens, fairly clean, dressed in gray linen clothes with numerous patches on them.
She walked frivolously, her eyes were empty, and there was a lifeless frustration on her face, she walked forward step by step, and when she passed by Shen Yunqing's side, she didn't pause, didn't even look at the two people beside her, and walked straight ahead.
The ridges are narrow and the soil is a little slippery.
In order to make way for this little girl, Shen Yunqing almost fell into the rice field, and was dragged into his arms by Nangong Qiao with one hand.
He had a lot of strength, and her waist hurt a little under the hoop, Shen Yunqing reacted quickly and immediately stood firm, "Thank you!" ”
Nangong Qiao's eyes were still staring at the little girl walking in front of him, and replied, "No need! ”
"That girl...... Is it from the village? ”
Shen Yunqing nodded: "Yes, Uncle Gan's daughter next door to Aunt Liu, it seems to be called ...... Cai'er? When she went to Uncle Gan's house to chat, she passed by Aunt Liu's house and saw her.
She turned her head sideways and saw Nangong Qiao's gaze looking all the way from the ridge, following Cai'er's back, he frowned and asked, "Where does this road lead?" ”
The location of Lanqiao Village is somewhat special, at the foot of a large mountain, the village is built on the mountain, and in front of the village is a large area of rice fields, and at the border of the rice fields, there is a river with a slight height difference.
At this moment, Cai'er has reached the end of the ridge, and in the blink of an eye, the person has disappeared.
Shen Yunqing panicked and said, "It's not good, she may not be able to think about it!" ”
The two of them couldn't care about whether the ridge road was good or not, so they let the rice ears hurt their bodies, and ran to the end of the ridge in three steps and two steps.
There was the sound of running water below, and a river that was not wide but bottomless appeared in front of them.
The moment they arrived, they just heard a "plop" and a figure fell into the water.
There was not a single struggle, it was like a stone being thrown into the water, without a single splash.
The bottom of the river was a little deep, the dark green water, there were some debris floating on it, Shen Yunqing walked to the ridge of the ridge more than ten meters above the river, and felt dizzy.
She was afraid of heights and faint, and it was really a collision between the two of them.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to walk to the edge of the ridge and look down.
Nangong Qiao beside him did not hesitate at all, picked up the hem of his clothes and jumped down with a stride, a height of more than ten meters, without hesitation at all.
Shen Yunqing was lying on the edge of the ridge, and saw Nangong Qiao's head pop up not long after entering the water, but he just changed his breath and got into the river again.
In the next second, he had appeared more than ten meters downstream, still holding a person in his hand.
It's Cai'er!
But the river was a little urgent, he held Cai'er with one hand, only one hand paddled the water, half of the row was washed by the current to the middle of the river, and a few minutes later, Nangong Qiao was still spinning in the middle of the river.
Shen Yunqing was a little anxious, the water was not as good as the shore, and it was easy to consume physical strength.
She looked up at the large rice fields behind her, where they were a little far away from the village, and it was unrealistic to shout at this time.
Fortunately, there was a slope between the ridge and the river, and she settled down, like an octopus, first with her feet, and then with her hands, moving down step by step.
When the visual distance was about the same, Shen Yunqing relied on his mind to enter the space.
At this time, there was no time for her to wander around the mall and choose, so she casually glanced around, pulled a long stick and ran.
When she stretched out the long stick to the middle of the river and wanted to use the long stick to make Nangong Qiao climb over the pole, she found that it was a fishing rod!
And it is the kind of fishing rod that catches big fish, the rod is as thick as a wrist, and the length can be automatically controlled, and a circle of tough fishing line is thrown out to firmly entangle Nangong Qiao and Cai'er.
It's like they've caught these two as if they were fish!
There is a button under the end of the rod that automatically shortens it.
In this way, Nangong Qiao in the river climbed up from the river with one hand and a fishing line.
He looked at the fishing line wrapped around his body, and then looked at Shen Yunqing, even if he didn't speak, Shen Yunqing knew what he meant: You fish!
However, saving lives is important now.
Cai'er sank in the river for a few minutes, she had already drunk enough water, and she was unconscious at the moment.
After Nangong Qiao dragged her ashore, she was about to press her, but Shen Yunqing took the lead.
Her statement was: "Cai'er is a girl, I'm here, I'll deal with this drowning first aid." ”
Nangong Qiao was pushed by her to sit crookedly to the side, pursing her lips and snickering - she obviously minded me touching other women!
He untied the fishing line on his body one by one, and saw Shen Yunqing first flattening Cai'er, and putting a little grass on his head, forming an arc that his head was slightly higher than his body.
Then she began to gently press Cai'er's chest regularly, pressing more than ten times, and then exhaled with her mouth to Cai'er's mouth.
After more than ten rounds of this, a cough sounded, and Cai'er spat out a lot of river water.
