Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 60
Li Yongfa stood there staring blankly for a while, but still felt that this matter was not credible, so he turned around and went home.

Early the next morning, Li Yongfa went to his rice field to look at it again, but his head buzzed when he saw it. Yesterday morning, the leaves were still whitish, but today the whole land is green and white. Almost all the rice leaves have suffered, except for a few small leaves in the center, and the larger leaves are all withered and ashes.

Now he didn't care about doubts anymore, he ran to Qian Daxian's house in a hurry, got into the house and shouted: "Quick! Go to my field to ask God!"

Qian Daxian had just crawled out of the bed, and his belt was not fastened, when Li Yongfa came out.

Li Tuozi hurriedly pushed him to the outer room, and said, "rich man Li, what are you doing, you are in such a hurry!"

Li Yongfa was panting from running, and said: "I, my rice is dying, it may be caused by water ghosts, you guys, hurry up!"

Qian Daxian and his wife pointed out that they were pretending to be gods and ghosts, and Li Tuozi was better than Qian Daxian in terms of ability to scrape oil and water. Seeing Li Yongfa's anxious look, he knew that he had made a lot of money again. He stretched out his hand and squeezed it in front of Li Yongfa's eyes. He said, "Well, there is a rule for asking God, if your upper lip touches your lower lip, even this god can't come!"

Li Yongfa is more familiar with this kind of work than him, and he can tell what he means at a glance, so he pursed his lips and asked, "How much?"

Li Tuozi rolled his eyes triumphantly, and said: "Chen Xianglai threw ten taels of silver when he entered the house, and threw another twelve taels when he sent it to the gods... Rich Mr. Li, you have more fields than hers, so you can figure it out yourself."

Li Yongfa gritted his teeth in hatred, knowing that what he said might not be the truth, but now that he is asking for it, he can only follow what he said.Immediately, he took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Tuozi's hand, saying: "I will add another five taels to the price of Chen Xianglai, and I will give the rest to the gods!"

Li Tuozi thought about the money in his hand, smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, at least it's a little less, but for the sake of the same surname, I won't ask for more from you."

Saying that, they went into the house and handed over the money to Qian Daxian, urging her to wash up as soon as possible, and then the two of them took yesterday's set of guys to dance for Li Yongfa.

When they arrived at the edge of the field, Li Yongfa saw that the two of them had set up tables and wanted to dance, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, why are you two dancing for me, wasn't there a large group of people dancing for Chen Xianglai yesterday?"

Qian Daxian gave him a blank look, and said: "What kind of group of people, Chen Xianglai found them by himself, what nonsense, water ghosts are afraid of being popular, chasing around there by themselves, it's useless to rush around, that's why we two were found! If you also think that thing is easy to use, then you can hire it for money!"

As soon as she said this, Li Yongfa didn't take the red cloth "expelling ghosts" seriously, and said: "Okay, then you dance, and quickly invite the gods, my rice seedlings are dying!" !"

Qian Daxian and his wife opened up the scene by Li Yongfa's field and danced again.

Li Yongfa asked someone to move a chair, and sat there staring at the seedlings in the field. I really hope that these two people can dance his rice seedlings back to life.

But the couple chattered and danced all morning, and instead of slowing down, the seedlings in the field turned whiter than in the morning.

Finally, when the two of them finished their work, Li Yongfa stood up and asked, "I said Qian Daxian, does your magic work? I think the rice is not as good as it is in the morning!"

Qian Daxian raised his eyelids, shivered a few times to send God away, and replied hoarsely: "You are rice, and you have to grow slowly to get new ones. It's not like writing with a pen, but drawing on paper. There is."

Li Yongfa said again: "In this case, the remaining money will be paid after my rice seedlings come back to life!"

Now that Qian Daxian and his wife quit, Li Tuozi glared and said, "I said rich man Li, anyone can get money on credit, but the Great God can't. You want the Great God to drive away the water in your field." Ghost, do you still want the great god to let go? You are a sensible person, you can figure it out yourself!"

Last year, Xianglai made money, and Li Yongfa was so jealous that he wanted to compare Xianglai, so he opened [-] mu of paddy fields in one go, and all of them used his own money, and he didn't report it to Hengyuan Farm at all. thing.Now the [-] mu of paddy field is his lifeblood, otherwise he would dare to come to the field to guard it every day.

Hearing what Li Tuozi said, he had no choice but to give the money, so he reluctantly took out another 15 taels of silver and gave it to Li Tuozi.

Qian Daxian and his wife earned 35 taels of silver in two days, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They took the silver and brought their belongings home to celebrate.

But Li Yongfa stood by the field and looked more and more wrong, so he called Da Zhuzi again and said: "Go, go to Chen Xianglai's field and see if her seedlings are alive."

Da Zhuzi had no choice but to go to the field of Xianglai in Xitun to peek again, but he was taken aback by seeing it.

It turned out that after one night, Xianglai's [-]-acre field was filled with water, and the rice seedlings were almost flooded.

He hurried back to report to Li Yongfa, saying: "Master, it's not good, the agarwood field is full of water, it's getting deep!"

He said while measuring with his hands.

Li Yongfa asked strangely: "Why did she pour so much water? I didn't hear that she poured the ground like that last year!"

Da Zhuzi said: "I don't know, maybe she didn't look at the water and made a bag!"

Li Yongfa waved his hands calmly, and said: "Go, go, talk nonsense, the rice field is Chen Xianglai's life, as long as she is not dead, nothing can go wrong."

He walked back while talking, and said: "No, let Wangcai go to Wu Dequan's family, and ask Wu Dequan to find out for me!"

Last night, Xianglai and Shen Che left the water spout open all night, and this morning they just put Qi Tiangeng in, and they blocked the spout again early.

Shen Che had never seen a rice planter before, so he didn't know if this was normal, anyway, he would do whatever Xianglai said.But Tianlai remembered that this was not the case last year, and asked Xianglai, "Sister, why did you put so much water in, wouldn't it drown the rice seedlings?"

Xiang Lai said: "My sister is in control, it's fine if you don't soak until Miao Xin."

Tianlai didn't understand anymore, and said, "Then why are you doing this?"

Xianglai whispered mysteriously: "It's for people to read, I'll put the water in after they finish reading..."

Talking to Tianlai in a low voice, he said: "Tianlai, if someone asks you why we put so much water in our fields, just say so..."

Tianlai is also a clever ghost, and he understood what Xianglai said, and ran back to the village to "play" excitedly.

After Tianlai left, Xianglai calculated the time, then greeted Shen Che, and said, "Let's go, let the water go, and it will be finished when it gets dark."

Just now Xianglai and Tianlai muttered and Shen Che didn't hear it at all, and he didn't bother to inquire about it. Now Xianglai was stupid to a certain extent in his eyes, and he thought that what Xianglai did was nothing worth asking.
