Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 113 Brothers
Occasionally there is a breeze, and the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound.

On one side of the bamboo forest is a river that flows quietly without waves, and on the other side of the bamboo forest is a field dotted with greenery.

Under the bamboo forest, there were two figures, one was lying down and the other was sitting wet, with a puddle of water on the ground.

After Mint was busy, he was blown by the wind again, and sneezed as soon as he shivered.

Then, she was delighted to find that the person who was guarding opened his eyes.

This wakes up!

Her heart was pounding, and when she saw the man's eyes rolling, as if looking towards her, she became even more excited, and grabbed his hand, "Oh, why are you in the river all of a sudden? Fate, if it wasn't for Ban Xia who can swim, I wouldn't be able to pick you up, really..."

The man frowned suddenly, and shook his head imperceptibly.

But Mint, who was immersed in joy, didn't see this at all, and was still chattering a little.

The man had no choice but to raise his finger with difficulty, pointing behind Mint.

It was only then that Mint realized that he was a little anxious on the face, but he had a wrong meaning in his heart, "You mean to beat your people? Don't be afraid, when they come, I will help you."

Having said that, she still kept silent, turned her head to look, and saw a figure shaking on the ridge of the field.

I am wet all over, and there is such a person who looks like he is dying, what should I do?
When Ban Xia went back, didn't he tell others not to see it?You won't get into any trouble again, will you?

Mint is a little tangled up.

Now even if you want to hide, you need a place to do it!

The man on the ground waved his hand and said a word softly, "Go—"

Naturally, it meant to let mint go by itself.

He didn't know that Mint was a stubborn person, let alone thought that those people were just here to chase him, and he would not go away. After thinking about it, he dragged him into the water again, squatted halfway, and poked his head out of the bush.

Soon someone passing by muttered, "Why did the good bamboo get thrown into the river, and I don't know how to chop it myself!"

"Two bamboos are nothing, look at this wet slippery foot, drag it back to wash and dry the clothes for the ladies, and drink a few small wines later, beautiful."

The two stout men said a few more words to go to the rice fields to see the water, and then they left contentedly.

And Pinellia, who came out with clothes and food, saw the two of them dragging the moso bamboo out, and his heart shivered, where are the two mints?
Naturally, Mint was there, stuck his head out of the river, and dragged the man to the bank desperately. After such a toss, the man almost passed over again.

Ban Xia is holding Yuan Guang's clothes, although this person is taller, but thinner, he should be able to wear it, now is not the time to worry about it so much.

She didn't want to know what this man was doing, and why he had fallen into such a state. If it wasn't for Mint, it would have been merciful to do this after being rescued, but Mint is a stubborn person, so she might continue to take care of him.

So, while Mint was going to change clothes, Ban Xia handed over the clothes with a pack of medicinal powder in his hand, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know, so let's just pretend that this thing didn't happen today. This thing was given by the doctor." Yes, I don’t know if it’s useful or not. You use it first, and the clothes will be given to you to wear. There’s nothing else in the house, and it’s too late to make porridge. You can just eat a little of this rice cake and stewed meat..."

Although the man was still very weak, he looked at Ban Xia with sharp eyes, "You are very smart..."

I don't know if I'm smart or not, Ban Xia secretly swears, at least I want to save my life, this place where bandits are rampant will not cause too much trouble.

"We can't do anything else. If you have nowhere to go, wait until it gets dark and hide in a room where no one is around. This is a bag of fried rice, and this is fried tofu glutinous rice dumpling. You have to eat it first."

Ban Xia has thought about these things. If his injuries are not serious, the fried rice can be kept, and eating for a few days is not a problem. But if he is lucky, he will at least recover in a few days. If it is really bad... ...I have no other way.

After saying this, Mint changed clothes and came out from the bamboo forest, his eyes were shining brightly, "Hey, tell me why you were made into this way, stupid!"

The man didn't speak, but only looked at Mint.

But Mint unconsciously leaned beside him, "Are you good at fighting? Did you get hurt because you didn't have a knife? Do you know that you passed out and could still float down? By the way, where did you come from?" into the water?"

Ban Xia grabbed Mint, "Let's go back first, let him have a place to change his clothes and eat, we will arouse others' suspicion..."

Mint looked at Banxia very uncertainly, and then at this person, with a bit of unwillingness on his face.

The man nodded, in an unquestionable tone, "You go."

Hearing what he said, Banxia took Mint and walked along the river bank like flying.

"Ban Xia, he is still very weak now, look at his dying appearance..." Mint was still a little worried.

What can I say about Ban Xia, it’s better when it’s weaker, and it might not be able to walk away when it gets better, or that I saw a strange mark on his cut place, where his clothes were torn, and if there is such a thing, it counts. What a nice guy?Even if she doesn't want others to repay her kindness, she can't let others repay her kindness, right?

She doesn't want to take risks, safety is a blessing!

"Look, if we are there, if we meet people who don't know anything, and don't know what to say, you know the people in the village, and it's easy to spread something. If the person chasing him knows about it, we won't I can't stop him, since he wakes up and can float so far, it can be seen that he is very lucky, and when it gets darker, he may leave, we can't bring him back, right?" Ban Xia's nonsense came out again.

Mint thought for a while, but didn't refute.

The cobblestones are piled beside the newly dug road, and it is better to wait for the road to be dug through before paving it. Naturally, the stones are far from enough.

Want to pick it up again?I don't know if that person left or not.

Ban Xia simply said, "I'm tired of picking up rocks, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, let's pinch mugwort leaves to make glutinous rice cakes in the afternoon!"

Gu Ya'er was naturally the first to respond.

I spent the whole afternoon in this restlessness, but fortunately, I didn't hear any rumors in the village.

After Su Youzhang and the others had dinner and gave the two families the mugwort rice cakes, Mint came back dejectedly, "Banxia, ​​the people over there are gone."

Only then did Ban Xia let go of her heart, and the glutinous rice cakes she bit into her mouth felt like she had some taste.

After Su Youli had dinner, he was a little tipsy. He sat in the shed and looked out. After digging the road for a while, he saw that he already had a rough outline, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Su Youde came here at this time, "Sir, are you there?"

This is nothing to talk about, right?For this shrewd uncle, Banxia can't tell what his attitude is, anyway, it's best not to be far away, if Su Qian almost sent Su Youli away before, he was the one who got him back, but after these things, Su Youde naturally draws on his family for any benefits. His father is too honest, and Su Youde will not be closer to him than his own son.

It's normal, but it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

For example, when digging roads, Su Youyi can sometimes come to help, but when he comes, he doesn't say a word, and he may leave after half of the digging, but he doesn't talk much, if he leaves, it must be because of something, and no one will What kind of words, but Su Youde is different, he came here just to chat, "Old man, don't talk about such a big thing as digging the road, if I don't have to go to work in Xiwang Village tomorrow, I will come to help you, Wait until the two days of work are over." "Third brother, what's the matter with building a wall? I'm also busy now, and I can't do without it. In two days, I..."

Two days later, and two more days later, I didn't see any mud on Su Youde's shoes.

Now that we come here, are we going to say "in two days" again?
Ban Xia sneaked around, the shed was half open, she went out from this side, walked half a circle around the vegetable garden, and went to the other side covered by thatch, listening.

Sure enough, Su Youde's voice was a little anxious, "Third brother, I'm not talking about you. You have to do the work yourself. If you say that Youzhang's side is fine, why did you invite the Zhang family?" of."

Ban Xia rolled her eyes outside.

I heard Su Youde continue to say, "Mother left early, and you have no plans in your heart. You don't need to keep watching. I have a few words to keep saying, and I am afraid that you will think left. You can open the way." It doesn't matter what you do, but if you think about it, if you open the way, you will be almost door-to-door with the Zhang family..."

Su Youli just poked his tongue out, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Isn't it good to be door-to-door? It's also convenient. Today Pinellia made glutinous rice cakes, which were made from grapefruit leaves picked in the vegetable garden over there. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"

The corners of Pinellia's lips curled up. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close relatives are not as good as close neighbors!

"Are you really stupid or fake? Do you know when the Zhang family came here? When did their family get bullied? Have you ever thought about it? Next to Zhang Jiatian, he didn't say anything at the time, but then the Wei family planted and died, and..." Su Youde gave many examples in succession.

Finally came to a conclusion, "Is this family easy to mess with?"

Su Youli was a little taken aback, "So what? Isn't this all a wild idea?"

Su Youde hated iron and steel, looked at the third child, and said as if he had a toothache, "Think about it, why didn't he come to help you before, didn't he live very close, but now he just sees how you live It’s better, I’m here to help you, I don’t even know when you are sold out!”

"Think about it, he planted those two acres of land and didn't do anything else. Can he afford to buy cattle? Can he live so comfortably?" Su Youde said with a sigh.

However, Su Youli is a dead man, "I don't care who he is, I just know that whoever treats me well, I will treat him well."

"You!" Su Youde was a little angry, and then there was the sound of footsteps fading away.
