Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 181 The Summer Solstice Is Gone

Autumn is refreshing.The sky is wide and the earth is wide.

On the rice fields that have been cut, there are only rice stubble left, and straw stacks are everywhere.After the late rice is harvested, the fields don’t retain any water. The rice stubble in the field is also soft after the sun and wind. The entire field has now become a natural playground.The children in Zhuangzi just stay on the soft field every day, rolling and tossing and basking in the sun, and piles of them go to the straw pile to somersault, and when they turn over, they flip it onto the straw pile, and bounce softly on it. straight smile.

The whole Zhuangzi is currently busy with repairing the bridge, and there is nothing else, just waiting for the winter to celebrate the New Year.Not to mention the children, no one is in charge of making noise all day long.

As a result, if the women in the Zhuangzi often hear seemingly nothing curses, there is no anger or self-blame, nothing more than another kind of angry concern, "little bastards, go to roll in the field again No, my straw stack was knocked apart by you, next time I meet you, I can’t see you!" The next time I really meet, I just pretend to be angry and want to chase, a group of children scattered like birds and beasts, no matter who is chasing or who is being chased Laughed out loud.Where is there a child who is not noisy?

Gu Yu looked at the unlined clothes she was wearing, and her body seemed a little slim. She wished that she could be a little younger at this time, so young that there is no gender boundary, and then follow a group of children to roll on the straw and bask in the sun, snow white He smiled heartlessly against the clear blue sky in autumn.At this age, according to what Zhuangzi said, when it is almost time to get engaged, it is unlikely that someone will go out and mess around like this.Gu Yu sighed faintly, after all, she was too heavy-hearted, thinking too much.

An Jinxuan went home frequently recently, saying that there was another clerk in the shop, and he didn't have to go every day.Gu Yu was very strange in his heart, always felt that he had some questions to ask him, but when he was around and wanted to open his mouth, he couldn't remember what he wanted to know, so he had to give up.

An Jinxuan was careful, when he went to fetch water from the river, he saw Gu Yu washing his clothes while staring at the field in a daze, and went back thoughtfully.Gu Yu was still absent-minded when she returned, so she asked her.Gu Yu sighed, "It turned out that the days in Zhuangzi were actually quite fun. We didn't catch up with the fun in Zhuangzi, but we experienced all the hardships from beginning to end."

Hearing Gu Yu's tone of vicissitudes, An Jinxuan was both amused and puzzled, "Where do you start with this endless talk?"

Gu Yu smiled helplessly, scratched his head and said, "I originally thought that the life in Zhuangzi was short by the master and the west, and then rumors were flying all over the sky, there was no news about lack of food and clothing, and worrying about the sun and the moon every day, this is suffering. We have eaten it. It’s just that I heard people say that when I was a child, the village was fun, why did I put paper kites in the fields, and then I saw it when I was reading, saying that it was fishing and shrimps, and went to the fields to pick people’s houses secretly. It’s fun, I’ve never experienced it before.” In fact, Gu Yu didn’t have any idea, it was nothing more than thinking about comparing the social operas he had learned back then, and he always felt that the stolen things were better Just eat.

An Jinxuan suddenly chuckled, "That's just what you thought was the sun and the moon in Zhuangzi. You're not doing well now, so why are you still thinking about it? No one in Zhuangzi does business, so why don't you do it? Everyone's life is different. It's not very good, there is no need to think about how other people are..."

Before An Jinxuan finished speaking, Li He hurried into the yard, "Are you staying at Xia Zhi's house?"

Seeing her strange expression, Gu Yu was also taken aback, Xu stood up and asked, "Didn't you say you stayed over there today, Xiaohan and Dahan stayed there too, why come here again when you're fine? "

Li Heshi was so anxious that he wanted to wipe away his tears.

When Gu Yu saw her, he quickly pulled her back, "Grandma, don't worry, tell me what's going on first, so we can look for it. Maybe it's not necessary to stay behind the house. The sun is too big and they It's normal to go to a cooler place." In fact, she was more anxious than anyone else, but if Li Heshi didn't let Li He feel at ease and say what's going on, everyone would have no way to do it.

Li He patted his thigh and said: "Xia Zhi was over there just now, playing well with Xiao Han and Da Han, the three of them were dragging a small wooden bucket to carry water there, and I specially made a big wooden bucket of water and put it there , thinking they were going to play with mud or something. After a while, they found the small hoe brought back by Dejiang. They didn't know what to do in the yard, and they didn't know what to put in the barrel. Xiaohan and Dahan were there What are you playing with... what kind of monk is carrying water..."

If it weren't for the anxiety in her heart now, Gu Yu would be a little funny. She said this before, so she didn't know that those three little things took her heart.

At this time, Li He continued: "It's Li Qiu who told me to find those flowers for her. I put them in the box, but suddenly I couldn't find them, and I emptied the boxes again. Urge over there..."

Gu Yu didn't care about Li Qiu's appearance and other things, but seeing Li He's crooked building skills were too powerful, some couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it even more. She didn't know where her two sons were, "Mother, where did you tell them to go? What if they fall into somewhere?"

Li He shook his head, as if he was still immersed in his statement just now, "They disappeared as soon as I came out, I thought they came here."

When Xu Shi heard this, she became a little anxious, the two babies she got with great difficulty disappeared so gracefully.This is her lifeblood.

Gu Yu is naturally in a hurry, and Xia Zhi is naturally the lifeline of parents.She thought about the small wooden bucket and the small hoe. There might be something in the wooden bucket. Gu Yu felt a little relieved. Those who dare to go to the river to play in the water, don’t worry too much. I wonder if I’m going to do something in the fields. The outside is so wide, so I’ll know if you look for it separately.”

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, she turned around and was about to go outside, but Gu Yu held her back, "Second Aunt, don't worry, you can go to the river to look for it, I'll ask my mother and brother Dalin to come together, when the time comes Look for it separately, otherwise it’s easy to miss something, and it’s not good, no matter if you find it or not, just let people wait at the other end of the bridge.”

Xu agreed and left.Gu Yu called Wang Shi Xiaoman and the others, and they split up to look for them.Xiaohe, Chen Jiangsheng, and the Jiang family also came.This group of people hurried to the road, and the passers-by in the village heard that Xia Zhi's children had disappeared, and they all followed to look for them with hoes and poles that they hadn't put down in time.

With so many people coming and going, Gu Yu calmed down a little, and ran to the peach forest with An Jinxuan.

There was no one in the entire peach forest. I searched again and thought that this bridge is still a simple one. The three children dare not go across it, so they didn't care about that side. There are people everywhere in the field. More and more people joined the search team, and the voices were everywhere, but Xiao Han and Da Han and Xia Zhi still couldn't be found.

Gu Yu's heart is like a cat's paw, although she often thinks that she should not get too used to him, she should tell him everything, and sometimes scolded him when she got anxious, but now she really regrets it, what should she do if she really disappears? of.Gu Yu's sadness comes from it, "Summer Solstice——"

Suddenly, Qing Erniang came back from the field over there, "Gu Yu, you must be looking for Xia Zhi, he brought Xiao Han and Da Han to irrigate the voles in my field, you don't have to worry about letting the three children come out by themselves It's funny to me, I don't have any strength at all, I found a ridge and dug there with a hoe, Xiao Han went to scoop up the water on the other side, and I couldn't lift it for a long time. Where can I get mice? I said they didn't listen. Xia Zhi is older, and I won't let me ask for help. I just moved the straw stack, and I won't take them back when I see that you don't have adults to pick them up. When I turned around and told you to go over, I heard you calling. Go, it’s in the field on my side, where the twigs were planted before.”

Gu Yu felt a little comforted, at least knowing that the three little things are not in the way, so good that he dared to go to the field to catch mice by himself, you brat!Tian Guyu of Qing Erniang knew about it, so he said to her: "Auntie, we will go there now, please tell me when you see the big guy, let my mother come and have a look, and don't bother Zhuangzi people."

Qing Erniang agreed and left, muttering, what the family did was extraordinary, a child as tall as a winter melon came out to catch mice.

Gu Yu glanced at An Jinxuan, and both of them smiled. They walked across the simple wooden bridge and went straight to Qing Erniang's field of wild rice, but they also saw the traces of the field mouse hole dug, but not only There is no small wooden barrel, no hoe, and the shadow of the three children is gone.

Gu Yu yelled, but didn't get any response, and became anxious again, "Brother Jinxuan, where do you think they went? Didn't they just feed the voles here, catch some voles well, where did the idea come from?" !"

The two of them searched all over the area, shouting until their voices became hoarse, but still no one agreed, what should we do?The sky and the earth are vast and vast, and the sound drifts in the wind, and it is blown away at once.

After a while, Mrs. Wang and Li Dequan came over, then Xiaoman, Xiaohe and Dalin, Dejiang and Chen Yongyu, and finally Mrs. Xu. They were all in a hurry and asked Gu Yu, "Didn't you say you found them?"

Gu Yu shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do, but he was even more worried, "Just now, Qing Erniang saw that they were here to feed the voles, and they didn't care if there were no adults who wanted to take them back, so she asked us to come here Yes, we didn't know that after we came, we saw a little hole that was dug, and there was no shadow. We searched all around but couldn't find it.

Everyone stayed and watched at the dug-up place, and Xu's tears flowed out, "Could it be that this is going to go back and fall off the bridge, how can such a big baby know water at all? Otherwise, why can’t I find…”

Having said that, Chen Yongyu went to the river to search with the Dequan brothers, and the rest of them scattered around here, and searched again from the beginning.

Gu Yu's throat was a little sore, and seeing the sun set to the west, he felt a little depressed, and sat on the messy straw stack, feeling warm and soft. Isn't this what he thought of these days, staying on the straw stack Just basking in the sun, but now she doesn't feel that way at all, and even heard the mouse squeak and squeak twice inside, which made her jump up in fright.
