Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 26 Su Huan
Chapter 27 Su Huan

There is no half-grown boy like Jin Yang in the salt field, and Su Qing is also very happy to see that Jin Yang and his daughter can talk well.

Because the second generation of Jin Yang was well-informed and had a witty and humorous conversation, this girl named Su Huan developed a good impression of her after a long time, and often brought him meat, and Lao Huang followed suit.But Lao Huang was embarrassed to speak frankly to him in the young master's family, and only mentioned Liu Tao in a circumstantial way, which was to warn him that there was a better girl waiting for him in his family.

Su Huan's home is in Xing'an, the capital city, eighty miles away from here. Her family has a newly bought pasture five miles behind the salt field, and employs two people to herd sheep.In the south of the salt field, her mother also has a house to take care of Su Qing. Su Huan also lives with her parents, so she can also take care of the pasture nearby.In the past, she and her elder brother and sister-in-law lived in their home in Xing'an City. Now she is in love with Jin Yang and wants to use warmth to influence him to marry her, so she seldom goes back to live in Xing'an City.

Su Huan asked about Jin Yang's future plans more than once.Jin Yang didn't shy away from it, and finally got impatient when asked, and said bluntly: "No matter what method you use, go back to Daqing Country as soon as possible, and go make money with my Taoer..."

"Su Wu, can you forget about your Taoer? Xiaoyan Country is also very good. I went to tell my father to buy you. My family still has a large pasture. We run the pasture. If you look at the profit of boiling salt Da, you can also buy a place by the sea and sell salt to Daqing country?"

"No, I don't want to live in your little Yan country, I want to go back, go back and be with my peach!"

"Bringing up your peach again, what's so good about her, can she redeem you, I can, if you spend your whole life with someone, I can also have children for you!" Su Huan said very unmanneredly Jin Yang yelled, tears of anger came down.

In order to make the girl give up her delusion, Jin Yang yelled at her in the same way: "My Tao'er doesn't know that I'm living here. If she knows, she will take all the money to save me even if she loses everything." !"

No matter what, Su Huan will still take care of him, hoping that he will change his mind.In order to reduce the workload of Jin Yang, she asked her father to arrange lighter work for him, that is, let him go to a pasture not far away, in exchange for the shepherd to cook salt, and he went to herd sheep.The work of herding sheep is relatively light physical labor. It just goes out early and returns late to follow the sheep, driving away predators such as eagles and wolves that come to grab the sheep.

Although he is not tired of herding sheep in the pasture, with the arrival of severe winter, Jin Yang's thin clothes and shoes can no longer withstand the severe cold.The cold wind was like a knife, cutting flesh and cracking skin, Jin Yang was shivering all over, and his toes were as cold as cat bites.

Looking at the misty sea ten miles to the east, and facing the bleak and cold day in front of him, Jin Yang remembered a song "Su Wu Shepherds" that he sang when he was a child. He has the same pseudonym as him, so why is his fate so similar to that of Su Wu in ancient times?

He hid behind a rock to take shelter from the wind, and he couldn't help singing the nursery rhyme when he touched the scene: "Su Wu shepherds the North Sea, and the snow and ice. Detained for 19 years, thirsty for snow, hungry for felt, sleep alone in the wild night. Save the Han Sheji, dream of the old country, in the midst of difficulties, the heart is as hard as a stone, sitting on the plug and listening to the sound of eggplant, it hurts in the ears.

Su Wu shepherds sheep in Beihaiwei, a flock of geese crosses the frontier, family letters want to fly, the white-haired old woman leans on the firewood gate, red makeup guards the empty curtain, sleeps in the middle of the night. I have to live, and I will return with the Han envoy... "

"Su Wu, what song is this? You sing really well..." Su Huan turned out from the side of the rock, holding a new leather robe in his arms, and a pair of new leather boots wrapped in the leather robe.

So warm!With Su Wu's help, Jin Yang changed into a leather robe and boots.

"I know you're about to freeze to death. It took me more than ten days to finish it. Look, my hands are worn out."

A pair of jade-like hands stretched out in front of Jin Yang. The delicate hands were indeed worn out, and there were still a few obvious needle holes and scratches. Su Huan opened his hands and poked Jin Yang's front with his fingers. Chest means to let Jin Yang catch it.Jin Yang sniffed the charming body fragrance on her body, and forcibly refused to let himself reach out to hold her hand. If he catered to her impulsively, it would cause her to regard himself as a lifelong lover, and also Put yourself into the level of "unfaithful and unrighteous" in your relationship with Liu Tao.

He turned his head cruelly: "Su Huan, can I tell you the story of Su Wu shepherding the sheep? After you finish listening to the story, I will teach you this song again?"

"Well, tell me, I'm listening."

"Su Wu is from the Great Qing Kingdom in the past. He is an envoy of the Great Qing Kingdom. He was sent to the Northland under the order of the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom. He was later detained by the Wolf Lord of the Northland..."

Jin Yang narrated this story from the beginning to the end. Before he finished, Su Huan was moved to tears, and he knew indirectly that Jin Yang's heart was on that 'Tao'er's body. It is impossible to form a husband and wife with this Su Wu, but she still does not give up, always waiting for Su Wu's heart to warm up.

After she left, Jin Yang looked up to the sky and sighed deeply. In this bitter cold place, when will he see the envoy of the Han family (rescue soldiers from the Daqing Kingdom), there is only one word "hope".

In the coldest season, Su Qing transferred him back to the Aiya saltworks. No matter how tiring the work in the saltworks was, he still guarded the stove for cooking salt, which was much better than freezing on the grassland.Knowing that this was Su Huan's idea again, Jin Yang couldn't help feeling grateful to Su Huan again.

He looked at the leather robe on his body and the leather boots on his feet, and he couldn't help feeling a little indebted to Su Huan. What a girl, if she were replaced by someone else, she would be grateful for the beautiful woman's initiative to court her, and she would be able to leave as soon as possible. ranks of coolies.Although Su Huan is a rare good girl on the grassland, but for the sake of Taoer, she will not give up her conscience and eat soft food...

The leather robe and leather boots are very well made. It can be seen that Su Huan has put in a lot of effort, and they are no worse than those leather goods in the barter area.It's just that Jin Yang picked out the problems of uneven stitches and different thicknesses of sewing threads.

He suddenly thought: These things are all made of leather, and they are all sewn with needles and threads. The leather jackets that are laborious to make can be called sharp tools. I analyzed them in my brain. If I can find a skilled craftsman or make them myself, I can still make this kind of machinery with a simple structure.

These coolies with the same fate also have no hope of returning home. They can only take care of each other and endure the years. Jin Yang also made a few coolie friends who were arrested together. Their previous identities were all from the company. man.There are Liu Zhixin and Liu Zhixiang's brothers, and there is Zhang Xiguo and Zhang Xiguo.

Winter goes to spring, spring goes to summer solstice, another summer is about to pass, and the pasture grass on the grassland is turning yellow again. The golden seedlings can’t wait for the soldiers from the Daqing Kingdom, and the captured merchants have already died of illness and escaped and were captured and executed. If they don't leave here, they will not escape the same fate as them. Jin Yang had to discuss the plan of escaping here with Lao Huang in private.

"Hey, Shaodong's house, although it's only three or four hundred miles away from the border, we don't have horses, people run on the open grassland, and we will be arrested soon if we don't have any cover. Besides, the guards who watch the place here How many are there?"

"Yeah, I know. Shopkeeper Liu and the guy were arrested and beheaded. Escaping on the grassland is not feasible. I plan to go by sea..."

"Sea route, that's even more unacceptable. How to get there? Did you snatch that boat? Do you know that that boat is too small? If there is a big storm in the sea, it will be overturned in a few moments!"
