I was a farmer in ancient times

Chapter 37 Encountering a Thief

"Are you dreaming? No! One day I will make him surrender to me!" Ding Rui shouted in the direction he was going away.

But no one laughed at him.

Because they all have an intuition that as long as he wishes, it will definitely come true.

The beating flame seemed to ignite the enthusiasm in Ding Rui's heart, and he was suddenly full of hope for the future.All the obscurity before was gone, and he said to himself in his heart: "In ancient times, grandpa is here!"

Arrived at Zhangjiaao at noon the next day.

From a distance, Ding could be seen looking around at the entrance of the village.Ding Rui's heart became hot, and he rushed towards Ding Shi and threw himself into Ding Rui's arms. "Mother~~!"

"You're not a child anymore, still acting like a baby?" Ding has never been separated from Ding Rui, and since Ding Rui left, she has been waiting at the entrance of the village every day.It's almost becoming a 'hopestone'.Seeing her son come back, Ding's eyes became moist again.

It feels so good to have a mother!Ding Rui and Ding Shi thought of a line in the lyrics 'a child with a mother is like a treasure'.

When Li Si saw Ding Shi, his face flushed to the base of his neck.

He felt that Ding Shi was not hugging Ding Rui but himself, and he was afraid that Ding Shi would see his "ugliness" and "chuck" and pass in front of Ding Shi with his head down.No matter what Niu Er called him from behind, he ignored him, ran home quickly, closed the door, and covered his heart that was about to jump out with his hands.

"What's wrong? Am I sick?"

Facing Li Si's anomaly, Niu Er and Zhang Xuan were both baffled.Seeing the horns dropped by Li Si on the ground, the two had no choice but to carry them back to Zhang Xuan's home.

After returning, Ding Rui stayed at Zhang Xuan's house almost every day. After repeated research and experiments by several people, a brand new bow and arrow was born!

They chose bamboo, ox horn, and tendon as the main materials for bows and arrows, but they couldn't find suitable materials for bonding.

What Ding Rui didn't know was that their bow directly advanced the Chinese bow and arrow technology by nearly a thousand years.

"Go, let's shoot!" Ding Rui took a new bow and came to the entrance of the village.The members of the hunting team knew that they were trying new bows today, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.

"Whoosh~~"

"it is good!"

Ding Rui hit the target with an arrow, and the hunting team applauded.

It worked!It worked! . . . . . .Zhang Xuan shouted again and again in his heart!

"Young Master~ Young Master~ It's not good! Young Master, it's not good~!" Niu Er yelled while running.

"Slow down, speak clearly!" Hearing Niu Er's anxious voice, Ding Rui had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Cai~~cai~~Cai Cai was stolen! ~Woo~!" Niu Er ran up to Ding Rui, finished speaking, squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Woo~~ It's all, it's all my fault, blame, blame, blame me! It's me who didn't like it! Woooo!~"

"Why are you crying? A man bleeds but doesn't shed tears! Let's go and have a look!" Ding Rui handed the bow and arrow to Zhang Xuan, dragged Niu Er who was squatting on the ground, and walked away.

Niu Er wiped his tears with his sleeve, and the hunting team followed behind them, all of them were very angry and clenched their fists.

Ding Rui was full of worries along the way.

Although I had prepared myself, I was almost dizzy by the sight in front of me!

I saw that the two or three acres of green vegetables that had grown lushly had all been pulled out.The cabbage was also picked in sevens and eights.The other veggies weren't much better.

More than 40 mu of land was looted overnight.

This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Knowing that the vegetables were stolen, more and more villagers rushed over.

Many people couldn't help crying when they saw the original green vegetable field in a mess overnight.

Ding Rui was even more irritable when he heard the crying, and ordered Niu Er to drive them all back.He quickly calmed down after being sad.

More than 40 mu of land cannot be stolen overnight by one person.This is definitely not something one person can do.Nor can it be done by three or five people.

Ding Rui asked everyone to stay still and investigate carefully by himself, but there were too many villagers just now, and there were footprints all over the ground, and there were no strong clues at all.But he didn't give up, and he couldn't give up.The 40 mu of land is the "ration" of more than 20 households in Zhangjia'ao, and it is the basis for their survival.

"Young master, let me come." Seeing Ding Rui running all over the ground, Li Si felt infinite sadness in his heart. Why is it so difficult for the poor to survive?Does God really not open his eyes?

Li Si is more proficient than Ding Rui in finding clues.Ding Rui also understood this truth, and solemnly said "Please!" to Li Si, and continued to search for clues.

"Shaodong's house, here!" Zhang Xuan shouted from the side of the field: "Here, come quickly!"

Everyone ran over.

what is this?

Horse manure?

Li Si identified it as horse dung.

Zhangjia'ao is poor. There are more than 60 farmers who have not raised horses for more than ten years. Where did the horse manure come from?

"Shaodong's house, I'll go and have a look first." Li Si got Ding Rui's consent and left immediately.

"Niu Er"

"Small owner"

"Is there any hope for this dish?" Ding Rui asked, knowing that there was no hope.

"At most [-]%!" Niu Er didn't dare to look at Ding Rui, he felt it was all his fault, if it wasn't for his 'dereliction of duty', this phenomenon wouldn't have happened.

Three to three percent, it's better than nothing.

Niu Er organized the tenants to water the remaining vegetables one by one.

Ding Rui was wrapped in a sense of frustration, he shut himself in the room and didn't eat for a whole day.Ding was restless, but he didn't dare to disturb him, wanting him to be more clean.

Thinking about Gao Renwen who was about the same age, she had doubts about her original decision for the first time.If I hadn't insisted, would Xiao Rui have a better life?At least not hungry!

For as long as Ding Rui hasn't eaten, Mrs. Ding will stay with him for as long as possible.She stood outside her son's room, weeping silently.

"Is Shaodong's house there?" Li Si lingered at the door for a long time. When he saw Ding's crying silently in the yard, his heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed and hurt.He wanted so much to wipe the tears off her face, but he didn't dare.

I saw someone coming.Ding Rui immediately turned his back. When she turned around, she looked calm. If it wasn't for her red and swollen eyes, Li Si would have been wrong just now.

"He's in the house!"

"Shaodong's family, there's news!" Li Si saw Ding staring at Ding Rui's door with an expectant expression on his face, so he didn't move, and shouted loudly at the door on purpose.

"Come in!" Ding Rui's voice was very strange because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

When Ding heard her son's voice, she breathed a sigh of relief.Give Li Si a grateful look in return.Li Si's face flushed to the neck again.

"Young master, I'm looking all the way..."

"It's those bandits!"

Hearing Ding Rui's affirmative tone, Li Si's eyes straightened. "how do you know?"

Ding Rui couldn't figure it out, who would come to Zhangjiaao to steal food?There is only one possibility, that is, the bandits they encountered last time, only they have the ability to 'remove' more than 40 acres of vegetables overnight.

"Go! Let's meet them!"
