Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 46

Ge Taohua rubbed her eyes and came out with her clothes on, "Second brother, you can just push the cart, why do you have to implicate our cattle? How much hardship will be suffered along the way!"

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian also got up to see off their son and daughter-in-law. Hearing that the eldest daughter-in-law loved the cow more than Qian Feng and Pomegranate, Mrs. Yang replied: "Our cow has never left our village, so let it go out to see it." Let's get to know each other."

Qian Feng smiled and said: "Mother is right, maybe the grass outside is more fragrant than the grass in our village. Don't feel sorry for the cow, sister-in-law. As long as we are not particularly tired, we will not take the bullock cart and follow behind. Enough."

Ge Taohua went into the house, pushed Qian Tong beside her and said, "Mother said let Niu go out to see and see, now it's really terrible, even Niu is going to open his eyes!"

"Mother is right, let our cow go out and see how hard the cows in other places live, and it will be even more exciting when it comes back to work." Qian Tong said vaguely, turned over and fell asleep.

Qian Feng and Shiliu set off, and Yang Shi chased after them and said, "Tighten up your money and don't lose it. If you meet robbers, give them the cocoons. Don't be brave. If you can't find them, go to Yicheng." Come back as soon as possible, our family has no shortage of food, and we can live three meals a day without earning money..."

"I got it, I got it!" Qian Feng and Shi Liu quickly followed the cow.

Niu may also know that he is going to a place he has never been to, so he is very energetic and can walk fast with a cart.

Everything was put on the cart, Qian Feng and Shiliu both walked empty-handed, with a hatchet strapped to their waists.Pomegranate was still pulling a piece of grass by the side of the road and waving it in his hands, singing as he walked, "The cows are walking, the insects are flying, and the pomegranates will follow behind and quietly chase..."

Qian Feng smiled, "What song is this? My pomegranate can make up songs!"

Pomegranate walked and ran proudly, and said: "This is the song my mother taught me to sing when I was young. I replaced 'dog' with 'pomegranate'."

This... Qian Feng was speechless with a smile.

Just after leaving the village and walking on the road, Qian Feng suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

The pomegranate stopped in fright, and the cow stopped.Qian Feng pulled the ox rope, turned around, and said, "Yicheng is to the south, why should we go north, isn't this the opposite?"

Shiliu was a little flustered. Did she go in the wrong direction just after she left the house? She asked nervously, "What is south and what is north? Qian Feng, can you find Yicheng?"

"I just went out of the village to listen to your singing so excitedly that I forgot the direction. Don't worry, I'm here, we can't lose it." Qian Feng whistled, looked at the sky again, and looked for the north, south, east, and west.Isn't it just Yicheng, what a trivial matter.

After walking for nearly three hours, it was already noon, and they had already walked out of Yinshan Town, which is now Dongshui Town.Qian Feng asked the cow to graze nearby, and he and pomegranate sat on the side of the road to eat cakes and silkworm chrysalis.

"Pomegranate, are you not afraid of silkworm chrysalis now?"

Shiliu laughed and shook her head, "Don't be afraid. Qian Feng, it turns out that Dongshui Town is so beautiful, surrounded by water on all sides."

Qian Feng was shocked, "Have you never been to Dongshui Town?"

Shiliu shook her head, "Have you been here?"

Qian Feng paused, then shook his head. It's normal that he hasn't been here, but Shiliu, as a person from Yinshan Town, has never been to a neighboring town. It's really surprising. Oh, she's a girl. It is normal to have traveled far away, although this is not considered far away.

Then Shi Liu said: "My parents have never been here, and many people in our Yinshan Town have never been here."

Qian Feng has nothing to say. There are so many people who have never been to the place that can be reached by walking for three hours. No wonder his parents are worried, and the villagers are also surprised that they are living too much. blocked.

After the pomegranate was full, he opened the gourd to drink water, and asked, "Where is the town outside Huangshui?"

Qian Feng shook his head, he didn't know either.

Pomegranate jumped up in fright, "You...you don't know, so where shall we go?"

Qian Feng pressed her to sit down, "Calm down, calm down! It's right to go south, we'll ask the way later, and we won't lose our way."

At this time, there happened to be a passerby, and Qian Feng got up to ask for directions, but he only got a few steps closer, and the passerby ran forward in fright.Qian Feng had no choice but to stop, and shouted loudly: "Hey, brother, what are you running? I'm just asking for directions!"

The passer-by ran a long way before stopping, looking at the hatchet on Qian Feng's waist from a distance, he dared not speak, especially when the sun shone at noon, the hatchet was even more dazzling.

Qian Feng understood that they originally brought hatchets to guard against robbers, but they were treated as robbers to guard against them.

"Brother, I'm really just asking for directions, not robbery. I want to ask, is it Dashi Town if you go further south?" Qian Feng usually heard villagers say that there are Dongshui Town and Dashi Town in the south, and he thinks it is almost the same. .

The passer-by was stunned, and said, "Yes, Dashi Town is to the south, and it seems to be out of Qinghe County to the south. I haven't been there, so I don't know if it's true."

The passer-by ran away after speaking, fearing that Qian Feng would catch up.

Qian Feng was convinced. These villagers lived like frogs in a well, knowing nothing.

Shiliu was nervous and excited, "Aren't we leaving Qinghe County tomorrow, so can we go to Qinghe County for a stroll?"

Qian Feng was really defeated by her, "The county seat is in the north, we are going south now, after leaving Qinghe County, we should be Weihe County, and after Weihe County is Yicheng, it is true that we can go to Weihe County for a stroll. "

"Qian Feng, how do you know this?" Shiliu thinks that Qian Feng is so powerful that he knows everything.

Qian Feng wouldn't tell her that he knew quite a bit about Chinese maps, so he just said, "Guess, as long as you go south, you won't be wrong."

Pomegranate looked up at the sky, the ground, the left and right in a daze, and said, "I can't tell the difference between south, east and north."

"You can't tell the difference, I can tell the difference, look at the sun."

"What if it's cloudy?" Pomegranate asked seriously.

Qian Feng choked, and joked: "If you get lost, I'll sell you, and if I get the money, I'll hire someone who knows the way to take me back, hehe."

Shiliu was so frightened that she ran up and hugged Qian Feng, "No, then you won't have a wife."

"I will marry another one."

"No! No! No!" Shiliu hugged Qian Feng's waist tightly, wanting to cry.

"Okay, okay, I won't sell you, you can sell me, what a silly woman." Qian Feng smiled happily.

Pomegranate burst into laughter, "My mother said that men can't be sold and are worthless."

Hey, not stupid at all!
