Chapter 008: The Spring of Restlessness
When he came to the southeast Dianzi, Haizi drove the carriage into the meadow, then propped up the cart with a wooden stick, unloaded the two horses as well, tied the reins on the horse's halter to the horse's front legs, and then let the horse go and let the horse graze on its own.
It is a small meadow with a triangular shape. To the north of him is a blister that is not too big, with a length and width of thirty or forty zhang, which is the main source of water for Yun Erye's family to water and farm in the spring, and there are fish in the lake in summer, and they can only be fished in the winter, and now is not the time.
Haizi led Monroe to a field by the lake and said to Monroe: "This land is close to the water, and it is close to the Dianzi, and there are many vegetables for borage, so let's dig here, and the basket will be full soon." ”
"You go and herd the horses, I'll dig it myself. Besides, I didn't carry that many knives, just one. ”
Monroe didn't seem to be willing to let Haizi help dig wild vegetables, not because Monroe didn't want the child to stay around, but considering that Haizi got up early and couldn't be too tired of him, he should be allowed to rest for a while at this time.
Didn't I carry a scythe? The horses had already stumbled me up, and I didn't need to be watched. ”
Haizi didn't listen to Monroe's words, but squatted down to help Monroe dig up wild vegetables. Haizi considered that Monroe didn't work often, even if she did such a job as digging wild vegetables, Monroe rarely did it, so it was better to help her.
Monroe saw Haizi digging a handful of vegetables, and was about to go to her to put the vegetables in the basket, and there was some trouble, so she persuaded him: "You go and rest, it's very tired." I can do it alone, and I don't have to dig too much, just enough to eat. ”
Haizi didn't squeak and continued to help her dig wild vegetables.
At this time, from the side of Dianzi where the horses were released, there was a sound of donkeys, and the two of them looked over there in unison, only to see a big black male donkey running over from nowhere, and running directly towards the two horses put by Haizi.
"Isn't this your big black donkey, how did it run out" Haizi was a little puzzled.
"Then bring him back with you when you go back, and let her eat some grass in the meantime."
While the two men were talking, the big black donkey was already howling and running to the red horse. This big black donkey is a male donkey, he has a strong body, well-proportioned limbs, and is an excellent breeder.
The big black donkey seemed to be very excited, and its cry was high-pitched and bright, passionate and wild. After a short exchange of sideburns and sniffing, the big black donkey and the red horse quickly climbed onto the back of the red mule and horse, and the red horse ......
Haizi suddenly felt some strange surge in the blood in his body, and couldn't help but look back at Monroe. Monroe's face was also red and staring at the movements of the donkey and the horse, and when she saw Haizi looking at her, she hurriedly squatted down.
"Leave it alone, let's keep digging vegetables." After Monroe finished speaking, she felt a little inappropriate, so she added: "Otherwise, you can run away from the big black donkey, can my father let me?" ”
"Donkeys and horses together can give birth to mules. The mule is economical and diligent, and it can't give birth to cubs, so it is easy to feed, and the owner will definitely agree. ”
"I can always encounter such a thing when I come out with you, are you a peach blossom person?"
Monroe felt a little out of her mouth, so the two stopped talking. However, Monroe was a little absent-minded at this time, following Haizi and watching him squat down and digging wild vegetables, while she herself didn't dig much, as if she was appreciating Haizi's every move.
It didn't take long for the basket to be full, and Monroe smiled and asked Haizi to stop digging wild vegetables: "Just dig these, enough, look at the sweat on your head." ”
"The horse hasn't eaten yet, so why don't Miss Fifth go back by herself first."
"It's okay, let's go back together, I'll go to the puddle to pick the lettuce, wash it again, and save the trouble when I go home."
"Then let's go to that little hut, which has water and shade."
So the two of them walked towards the little shack next to the blister. This small shack is a place used by the Yun family to temporarily rest and shelter from the rain when they watch the water, grazing, and greening, and it is not commonly used, just next to a slightly higher earthen hill in this water blister, and it is now idle.
As the two of them were walking towards the hut, the big black donkey chirped again and climbed onto the back of the red horse............ This beast is really energetic, endless, both of them thought so.
When she came to the small shack, Monroe said, "You can go in and rest for a while, I'll just pick one of them." ”
Haizi nodded, he seemed to feel that his heartbeat was a little faster when he was with Monroe, and it was good to leave the point, so that Monroe was more casual, so Haizi walked into the idle little shack.
The small shack has small windows on three sides, and there is no wooden door at the entrance and exit in front, so that it can be seen on all sides. On the right, you can see the surface of the lake, on the left, you can see the horses on Dianzi, and in front you can see the whole black earth.
There is a small earthen kang in the shack, which can only accommodate one person to lie down, and the kang is still covered with grass, but no one burns the kang, but it is not cold in this season, and it will be very comfortable to lie down.
Haizi sat down, looked at the donkeys and horses grazing leisurely on the meadow, and then looked at the quiet water and the reeds that had grown more than two feet above the water surface near the shore, and felt very comfortable. He sat there for a moment, then lay down relaxed.
Outside the small hut, it was still bright and sunny in spring, and there was a melodious birdsong in the distance, and the cheering of insects in the distance, low and long. The time near noon is really quiet, which not only nourishes the brain, but also nourishes the body, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Haizi wanted to sort out what happened during this time, but his mind was very messy and he couldn't come up with a clue. He thought, what should he do next day? When can I go home and see it?
Since that time I went to the tomb to summon Duanlong's spirit, I haven't gone home to see it for almost a month, and my mother will definitely be very worried, but because she is a long-term worker of the Yun family, the owner can't go home if she doesn't allow it, even if her mother can't make such a request.
The mother is used to the children, but she strictly requires the children to abide by the rules, and resolutely cannot do what should not be done, even if she goes home to see such a small thing, she must also ask for the consent of the owner, and she has to listen to the arrangement of the owner to carry the work for others.
Even if he was frightened in the tomb, he couldn't tell his mother, because it was not only the owner's arrangement, but it would also make his mother more worried, so Haizi decided that he couldn't talk to his mother about it again after he went home, and it was estimated that his mother would not ask, although his mother was very worried.
Will you be able to find time to finish the courtyard wall when you go home this time? What is Monroe doing now? Monroe's image jumped into his mind again and again, and he hurried and pulled to mess up his head even more. Haizi didn't want to think about it anymore, but his thoughts always came and went, intermittently, pushing him to sleep in the flickering and jumping.
Monroe picked the vegetables alone for a while, looked up at the sun, and it was still a long time before she went home for dinner. Monroe simply sat down, leaning against the wall of the small shack and letting the warm sunlight warm her body.
This sunlight, like invisible silk, gently brushed her body, from the outside to the inside, from the surface to the inside, stirring the warmth of the body and the itching of the heart. Monroe's slightly closed eyes were soaked with fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose and forehead.
