The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 53 The Night on the Prairie
Xiaomi stuffed the package in his hand into the hidden compartment under the seat of the carriage, and whispered to Feng Jian, "Here is a change of clothes, a pair of new boots, and a thick cape. I heard that it is still cold on the grassland. If you are all right , come back sooner."

After saying this, she was probably afraid of being misunderstood by others, so she hurriedly added, "The rice seedlings in the field look different every day, and when you come back late, maybe the rice has been crushed and put into the pot."

Feng Jian's eyes were full of smiles when he heard that, his eyes passed through the extremely warm wind in late spring and the gentle sun, and finally fell on the face of the girl he loved, and finally said cruelly, "Don't worry, I'm leaving."

The carriage crushed the gravel on the mountain road, Gao Ren pouted and flicked his whip, and drove the equally reluctant old horse down the mountain...

It wasn't until the carriage walked out of the mountain pass that it disappeared completely, and Xiaomi turned back to her home.The compound was still the same compound, but for some reason, she always felt a little empty and disconcerting.

No, why didn't she know the reason, but admitting it at this time would make her feel even more sad.

On the first day of junior high school, Gao Ren was gone as a playmate, and the cheerful appearance of the past was gone. He silently followed Xiaomi with his head down, causing his braids to sway like leaves in the autumn wind.

Xiaomi pulled him to sit on the stone bench under the big tree, took the comb from the first day of junior high school, and rebraided his hair while whispering his thoughts.

"On the first day of junior high school, who do you think Brother Feng is? He said that there is business on the grassland, but I always feel that he is hiding something. Could it be that he is an official, such as an official who patrols the world? No, no, my family The third brother is very good at studying, and there is no big exam now. Brother Feng is only five or six years older than my third brother. Speaking of my third brother, you haven’t seen it yet. My third brother is very good. If Don’t study, do business with me, maybe our family will be rich in the world within 20 years. And my second brother is just a child who can’t grow up. Asking him to send some things to my third brother, it’s so fast It's been a month, and there's still no shadow. Wait until he comes back, and see if I don't scold him!"

At the end of spring, the poplar trees are already luxuriant. Occasionally, with the spring breeze waving their arms, countless leaves sing moving songs.

It's a pity that the boys and girls under the tree didn't care to listen.One managed to find a "tree hole" that could listen to her thoughts, while the other didn't know what to think, squinting and enjoying the rare peace...

Years never stop because of the joys and sorrows in the world. In a flash, Feng Jian's master and servant have also been out for three days. The night in the grassland is extremely cold, and the faint howling of wolves in the night wind makes Feng Jian subconsciously look around. The simple knife next to it.

Gao Ren in the carriage was snoring happily, as if he didn't know that the wolves in the distance could gather at any time and tear up their master and servant for supper.

Feng Jian threw the dead branch in his hand into the blazing bonfire, and finally gestured towards the distance.

After a while, there were rustling sounds in the grass.

The five men in black seemed to appear suddenly from the night, and they appeared beside the campfire in the blink of an eye.

Feng Jian waved his hand to stop them kneeling down to salute, and greeted them, "Sit down, Xuan Yi went to the car to fetch two brown jars, and I remember there was still a jug of spirits. While Gao Ren is sleeping soundly, you also have a taste... Lu Home craftsmanship."

Apparently, the men in black were familiar and close to their master on weekdays. After kneeling and saluting, the four sat down, and the other tiptoed to the side of the car, and soon came back with the jar, and whispered, "Young master , Gao Ren actually fell asleep in his arms. If he hadn't smelled the incense of requiem for him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to grab it."

"Altar meat," Feng Jian couldn't help but twitched the corners of Feng Jian's mouth when he thought of Xiaomi who was busy in the kitchen like a bee before, which added a bit of tenderness to his cold facial features.

Xuan Yi almost dropped the jar in his hand, they all followed their master since childhood, even if they were praised by the old master, the master never looked like this, did something happen that they didn't know about?
Thinking in this way, they looked at Gao Ren in the carriage again, and felt a little jealous.I don't know what the old master had in mind, but he arranged for Gao Ren to serve the master personally.They just want to pass on a message, and they have to go through Gao Ren, not to mention following the master, it's not easy to even take a look at it on weekdays.

However, after this idea entered the altar meat, the jealousy in the hearts of several people immediately rose to "hatred".

"Master, can Gao Ren eat this kind of meat every day?"

Xuan Yi almost gritted his molars and asked, while Xuan Er stared at the jar with red eyes.

Feng Jian smiled even wider and nodded.

"Xuan San will go to the car to have a look again, grab whatever there is to eat!"

"That's right, eat and drink and steal everything! Fortunately, Gao Ren always meets us. He eats such good things every day, and he never brings us some to try!"

"It would be good if he didn't beat him up. I said last time he was holding something to eat, and he immediately stuffed it into his mouth when he saw me."

The Xuanming brothers were filled with righteous indignation, and directly swept away all the food in the car.Two jars of meat, one jar of meat sauce, two boxes of dried fruit, a bundle of dried sausages, half a box of meatballs, more than a dozen shortbread, seven or eight sticks of fried marijuana...

After they had eaten their fill, the few of them lay contentedly by the fire, occasionally quarreling, "Master, let me serve you by your side in the future? My legs and feet are the fastest..."

"Fart, if you want to follow, I will follow the master. My hidden weapon is the best, and it is best to protect the master comprehensively."

"If you can't do it, I'll do it!"

The few of them all understand that before going out, the old master's decision cannot be easily changed, but it is definitely not a big deal to have a good mouth now.

Sure enough, Feng Jian slowly ate the dry sausage in his hand, and did not stop him.

Soon, the sky receded from darkness, gradually revealing fish belly white, and the sun was about to jump out of the horizon.

The brothers Xuanming rubbed their stomachs, glanced at the empty jars and boxes for the last time, and finally jumped into the grass again with a smile.

Feng Jian took the kettle and sipped it, destroying the last evidence...

In the carriage, Gao Ren got up in a daze, always feeling that something was wrong.After sweeping around around him, a tall boy jumped up, and he didn't care to hit his head on the carport, and screamed, "Ah! My altar meat, my wine, my mahua, my dried meat!" intestinal!"

Outside the car, Feng Jian took a deep breath of the smell of grass in the morning breeze, it was really refreshing.

This is the fate of eating alone. At first, he just stopped him, but this kid really didn't distinguish him at all along the way.It's all right now, the days to come will be clear...

On Laoxiong Ridge, every household is still so busy, and there is no change because Feng Jian's master and servant are traveling.It's just that I met Lao Yang and asked, your master has gone out, that's all.

Only Xiaomi, every time he looked at the quiet east wing, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had never been moved on the window sill, felt empty and uncomfortable.

Busyness is the best medicine to cure loneliness. Xiaomi was depressed for two days, but she didn't dare to let everyone see her strangeness, so she cheered up and started to make plans, using herself as a spinning top, and started spinning around all day.

Old shopkeeper Chen personally came to the door to ask for green vegetables. Fortunately, Xiaomi was finally able to pick a batch in the vegetable garden, so naturally there was no need to worry about her stealing and getting caught.

As usual, Boss Lu invited the women in the village to help, and entertained shopkeeper Chen in a grand manner.

Xu is reassuring to smart people, and has always been a simple and honest person.Shopkeeper Chen loves Boss Chen very much, and every time he comes, he has to talk to him a few more times, and he looks very close.

Xiaomi thought about it a few times, and seeing that the shopkeeper Chen didn't seem to have any bad intentions, he didn't care about it anymore. He simply treated the old man as his son was not around, and treated Boss Lu as his own pain.

There is not much rain in spring this year. The snow melted and soaked into the soil before, and the soaked rain has been absorbed by the crops. The potato fields seem a little dry.

All the men in the village are extremely diligent.In the past few days, taking advantage of the adobe drying time, they have carried the burden, went back and forth to the fields, and poured well water to the feet of the potato seedlings one by one.

What Xiaomi saw was moved and guilty. Regardless of other things, just the friendship between the old and young of Laoxiongling towards the Lu family, no matter how prosperous and prosperous the Lu family will be in the future, they will take Laoxiongling up and down to heaven.

But that's all for the future, and the problem in the field still needs to be solved.

It is common sense in farming to drain flood water and irrigate in dry season.

Xiaomi had only planted a two-acre vegetable garden with the old director in his previous life, so naturally he didn't expect so much, and it's not too late to make up for it now.

Old man Zhong was brought here again by Liu Xiaodao driving the carriage, this family is really credible.Since they got their wages and went home, no matter who came to inquire about Lao Xiongling, they didn't say a word.

Good intentions are rewarded, and now we have good news.

Xiaomi has carefully calculated that the [-] acres of dry land, plus the workshops to be built in the later stage, and even the farms in the planning of the villa will require a lot of water.Calculated in this way, at least eight wells need to be drilled, which is also a big project.

Old man Zhong originally thought that Xiaomi called him because he misunderstood the rumors about their family outside, so he was very disturbed, thinking whether some of his nephews were disobedient.

In the end, Xiaomi didn't want to say, "Master Zhong, it seems that this year is going to be a drought. I plan to dig eight more wells in the fields. I wonder if your family can continue this work? The wages will still be calculated according to the previous one. Food and lodging are also my family. What do you think?"

"Eight mouths!"

Old man Zhong was so happy that he almost jumped up. When the well was dug earlier, the Lu family treated them too generously, and they never made things difficult even if they ate and drank well.Now there are eight wells, enough for them, young and old, to keep busy for two months.After taking the wages, let alone preparing a dowry for the eldest son to marry a wife, I am afraid that the younger son's share will be enough.

"Okay, okay, Miss Lu, don't worry, we will definitely dig the well well."

The old man was so happy that he didn't know what to do, he got up and saluted repeatedly, "Thank you Miss Lu, thank you Miss Lu."

Xiaomi couldn't see such an old man saluting himself, so he quickly stopped him, and said with a smile, "Then I will ask my elder brother to take you to the fields for a walk. Although I have chosen some places, I still need you, an expert, to take a look. , if there is no water, it will be a waste of effort.”

"well."
