Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 1

The spring is cold and cold, but the sky is exceptionally clear and blue.Under the warm sunshine, the apricot blossoms are tremblingly spewing clear pistils, the grass is tender and tender when viewed from a distance, and the water is sparkling when viewed close up.

In the village not far away, the smoke from the kitchen is curling up, the smell of chickens and dogs, and the neighing of cows and horses.

Farmers with hoes and loads on their shoulders and leading their livestock walk through the country lanes covered in green smoke, while greeting each other to go home, which is like a leisurely and peaceful pastoral scenery that makes people ecstatic.

Suddenly a shrill scream pierced the tranquility, and the peasants and the cows and horses on the road turned their heads to look at the same time.

"what--"

It was an immature child's voice, which seemed to be very sharp because of fear. The farmers on the road exchanged looks, and one of them shouted suddenly: "No, did some baby fall into the river!"

The river at the south end of the village is different from other rivers in the village. The river was dug by the village to fight drought. It is deep and steep. It is scary to look at it. Even adults have to be careful every time they fetch water, lest one foot slip and fall go in.

This season happened to have children digging wild vegetables. In case of a mistake, everyone dared not imagine, and rushed to the Hegouzi in the south of the village head.The few young people who ran in front could see a little boy crying "awow" by the river, and a small figure on the river was ups and downs, his little hands were desperately thumping, calling for help, and he was about to die. no more.

"Quick, quick!" Everyone shouted, throwing away their farm tools and speeding up to the river.The young man who got to the bank first hurriedly took the boy who was crying loudly by the river aside, so that he would not accidentally fall too.

The kind-hearted old man said anxiously: "Yangyang, is it your elder sister Yaoyao?"

The little boy looked about three or four years old, and he was obviously frightened and kept crying, pointing at the river with his little finger, crying and screaming, "Sister———"

At this time, the plopping little figure in the river has disappeared, leaving only circles of ripples swinging back and forth.

"It's over, it's over..." Everyone murmured in their hearts, the water is so cold, and the baby is gone, it must be bad luck.

The onlookers sighed and regretted one after another. Some young men who knew how to swim untied their belts and took off their padded jackets, while others were just pretending to look at the swaying water and trembled in their hearts: how cold it is to jump into such icy river water, in case of cramps What should I do if I can't save anyone?
The old man shouted anxiously: "If you know how to use water, hurry up and save someone! Save someone's life and accumulate evil virtue for a few lifetimes!"

A young man who had a good relationship with the old man said: "Third Grandpa, I'll go down and get Yaoyao little girl up." He began to take off his clothes, after all, it's very dangerous to enter the water in cotton clothes.

The third grandfather was in a hurry, tell them to hurry up, if he was young, he would jump down to save others without hesitation in winter.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a plop, and a figure plunged into the water very fast, leaving only a splash of water, which made people think it was a jumping fish that turned around and went back.

"Who? Who went down?" Everyone turned their heads and looked around. The familiar villagers looked at each other, and the young man who took off half of his clothes shook his head, "I haven't had time yet."

There was a sound in the water, and everyone stared nervously at the water surface. The sparkling light made the originally clear water dazzling, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.

The person on the other side pointed to the water and shouted, "There, there!"

"Quick, quick, oops, I almost caught it!"

"Shuanzi, Ladder, you two are good at water, hurry up and help!" The old man waved his hand, beckoning the young man with good water to go down to save others.

Although the water is cold, human life is at stake. They are all fellow villagers and cannot be ignored.

The two youths stomped their feet on the bank a few times, yelled twice, and jumped into the water with a thump. Who knew that just as they jumped, the water surface swayed, and with a splash, one of them broke through the water, holding a unconscious body in his hands. little girl.

The little girl was already pale and gray from the cold, and some people wondered if they could be rescued.

"Oh, poor little girl!"

"It's not a big deal. This girl is very diligent. It's a pity that she spends all day digging for vegetables at such a young age. She still has a sweet mouth when she sees people."

The two youths who went into the water shivered with cold, paddled quickly, and helped to send them ashore together, and the people on the shore hurriedly pulled them up.

The third grandpa quickly took off his coat to wrap around Yaoyao, and hurriedly shouted: "Qiangzi, quickly bring the donkey over, quick, quick!"

The young man named Qiangzi yelled at the donkey and galloped over, helped the third grandfather lift Yaoyao and lay her on the donkey's back, trying to control the water in her stomach as much as possible.

Everyone in the audience was in a hurry, "Don't worry about it?"

The third grandpa reached out and patted Yaoyao's back a few times, and she spat out a pile of river water with a "wow".

The third grandpa breathed a sigh of relief, "The soul has come back..." Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said a word of the river god's blessing, the little girl was blessed with a great life, and came back with her life.

The little girl was saved, and the relieved people began to look for the young man who saved her, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw it.

Where is the young man? He is clearly a half-grown man. The padded jacket is wrapped around his body, showing a slender figure. His face is pale from cold, but his eyes are brighter than the water waves behind him. A trembling.

At this time, someone in the distance shouted eagerly and ran over quickly, "Yaoyao, Yangyang!"

Someone said: "Uncle Dafu is here."

Qin Dafu is the little girl's father, as soon as he got the news that his daughter fell into the water, he ran here desperately, and rushed to the front, he folded his hands and bowed to everyone, thanking everyone for saving his daughter.

The third grandpa said: "Father Daye, Yaoyao's fate is great, please thank the savior."

Qin Dafu hurriedly stepped forward, regardless of the other party's age, he bowed to thank him for saving his life, but the young man sideways avoided, seeing that the little girl had come back to life, he said: "I'm sorry, I have something to do, let's take a step first."

After he finished speaking, he kept lifting his feet and walked away, his whole body dripping with water trailing behind him, Qin Dafu thought to himself why he had to ask his name, so he hurried to catch up, who knew that the boy didn't seem to want to be entangled with him After two steps, a saddled horse ran up to him, he got on the horse, beat the horse and galloped away.

Qin Dafu sighed, looking at the back of his benefactor from a distance, he could hardly see him in the blink of an eye, and hurriedly turned back to thank everyone
Everyone said no need, and said that Yaoyao is really lucky.

Qin Dafu took off his coat and put it on for the third grandpa. He carried his daughter who was wrapped in a padded jacket, "Third uncle, everyone, come and sit at home and let the girl kowtow to you."

The third grandfather said: "Nephew, the folks in the village are all here to help each other, so don't be too polite, send the child home quickly."

After saying that, he called everyone to leave quickly, Qin Dafu hugged his daughter and asked the third grandfather to help him hug his frightened little son Qin Yang, and the group went home.

On the way, Qin Dafu asked where the savior was from, so that he could go to thank him in the future, but everyone said they didn't know him.

Qiangzi said: "I think that person seems to come from the direction of Shahe Village."

"There are many villages in the direction of Shahe Village," someone said.

Qin Dafu silently remembered that if he tried to find out in the future, he would have to thank him in person, and he asked everyone to pay attention to him, and if he knew anyone, he should tell him quickly so that he could take the girl to kowtow to his benefactor.

Although the family is poor and there is nothing to thank for gifts, but the heart is always there.

Qin Dafu invited everyone to drink tea at home and sit down for a while. Everyone knew their situation, and they all said they were busy and didn't bother.

He also knew that spring plowing was in progress, and it was not good to waste everyone's time, so he had to thank him again and again, and took his daughter and son home.

However, he still invited Third Grandpa and Qiang Zi's family to sit down, so that Third Grandpa could help take care of the child, after all, the old man is very experienced.

The feeling of catastrophe was lingering up and down, and the moment the river water choked into her throat, Fu Yao felt that her soul had come out of her body—death!

When those grotesque images were swaying like Venus in front of her eyes, she felt a pair of hands grasping herself, those hands were strong and powerful, and brought her back from the face of death with a vicious force.

Against the clear sunlight, she seemed to see a haloed face—saved!She breathed a sigh of relief, then passed out again.

Ordinarily, it wouldn't be too cold to fall into the river during the heavy rain in midsummer, but why did she feel so cold?Just like when I was a child, I fell into a hole in the ice when I was fond of skating in winter.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Yao opened her eyes in a daze, only to feel that there was something swaying in front of her eyes, and there was a very noisy buzzing sound.

Is it in the hospital?

Why is it so cold?
At this time, hot liquid was fed into her mouth, Fu Yao immediately opened her mouth wide, and swallowed greedily, the hot soup flowed into her stomach, it was so hot!

She opened her mouth to ask for more, hoping that it didn't fail, and drank more hot and spicy soup. She smiled contentedly, hiccupped, and murmured: "It's so warm."

When you wake up, you must thank your savior.

Seeing that the little man in his arms finally opened his mouth to drink a big bowl of ginger soup, Mrs. Liu let out a long sigh of relief, wiped away her tears, put her daughter on the top of the kang, and pulled over the only two broken beds on the kang. She covered her with the quilt, thinking that the third grandpa said that the child was about to die, so she sweated hard, took care of it, and went to dig wild vegetables alive and well.

Mrs. Liu sighed, picked up her needlework again and started embroidering insoles. While doing the work, she would touch the little man's forehead from time to time.

Strange to say, the fever was scary at first, but after drinking ginger soup, the fever really started to subside. Now it's still a little hot, but it shouldn't be a serious problem.

Liu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and meditating silently is really blessed by God, the girl has a bad life.

At this time, it was already dark, and Liu Shi could not see clearly in the room, so she put down her needlework and said to the eldest daughter Xiuqin, who was rubbing the hemp rope with a hammer, "Elder sister, go ask the mother, Can you give Yaoyao a poached egg to eat?"

Xiuqin hummed, put the hemp rope and other items in the rattan basket, rubbed her eyes and got up to go out.

Third sister Xiurong was cooking in the main room, Xiuqin said to her: "Third sister, go and light the lamp for mother."

The fire-making objects such as fire scythes and flints at home are placed in the fireworks box, which is handled by Mammy Zhang herself.Mrs. Zhang is stingy by nature, and the whole family has to wait for her to light the lamps before they can light the lamps in each house. They say it is to save fuel and tinder. .

Otherwise, heh heh, wait to be trained bloody.

Xiurong tilted her head and glanced in the west room, the nanny had already lit the lamp, it seemed a little early today, no matter what, the room was usually dark and Mrs. Zhang would be willing to light the lamp.
