He is from the end of the world

Mr. Lu really didn't lie.

The rabbit was stupid to begin with, but he hid his breath again and really rushed towards him.He bumped his head into his leg, and was picked up by Mr. Lu when he was dizzy.

Silly and cute.

Lu Ciyu got up and leaned over to him to watch him weave the cage.

"Just weave it with ordinary branches, aren't you afraid that rabbits will eat it?"

Lin Chi shook his head: "This is only the innermost one, and there will be another layer on the outside, so it won't escape."

Lu Ciyu nodded: "Look, you are really amazing."

"Huh?" Lin Chi paused.

"It's like me. I don't know anything about this kind of thing, but you are very good. You know everything. You can sew clothes, cook, play with animal fur, and even weave baskets."

Lin Chi blushed, and quickly arranged: "No, no, no, every girl knows these things, I'm just...".

Lu Ciyu put his index finger on his lips and let out a "shh".

"But writing and drawing are something every scholar must understand. I'm just like them, but an ordinary person. Not as good as you think."

Lin Chi shook his head: "You are different... You scholars will be able to take the imperial examination and become high officials in the future...".

Lu Ciyu smiled helplessly: "But we scholars don't understand anything except holding a pen, writing, reading poems and painting. Isn't it just throwing them into the fields in the dark and blindly treating the wheat as weeds?"

Lin Chi looked bewildered. According to the perception he had received since he was a child, Lishi was higher than farmers. They just learned to write and draw. What else do they need to know about farming and cooking?

Lu Ciyu strikes while the iron is hot: "I'm not saying that writing and painting are inferior to farming. What I mean is that every class has their own specialties, and these people are the best in their field, even if they are The emperor may not necessarily do better than them."

Lin Chi quickly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down!"

Lu Ciyu grabbed his hand and pressed it to his heart, leaned close to his face and whispered, "What do you say? Am I right?"

Lin Chi withdrew his hand and nodded uncomfortably.

"Um".Lu Ciyu smiled: "Then sum it up?"

Lin Chi turned his head to the side, stumbled and said, "In terms of farming, I, I am better than Mr. Lu."

Lu Ciyu hugged someone: "Say it again?"

"In terms of farming, I am better than Mr. Lu."

As Lin Chi said this, there was something more silent in his heart.It seems that there is nothing to panic and be cowardly when walking with Lu Ciyu in the future.

He also has enough capital to stand beside Mr. Lu.

------

Don't underestimate the working speed of the working people, but in just a few days, a large area of ​​wheat and rice fields within sight has been bald.

As the so-called "double grab", the autumn harvest is simply competing with the world for time, and it will not work for a while.I'm afraid that it will rain someday and soak the rice crops, and everyone who is busy will wring out a puddle of water after sweating and taking off their coats.

Lu Ciyu stood silently by the edge of the field, watching the old man in the field hunched over to cut rice, his whole back being pulled into a bow shape.The old man moved very quickly, holding a special scythe for cutting rice, brushing the rice stalks with one hand and slicing the stalks with the other hand, cutting along the trend, and cut off a large area in a blink of an eye.

He didn't know how long he had been doing it, there was a long cut mark behind him, and the bundled rice stalks were piled up behind him, but his movements were still flexible.

Lu Ciyu took a few steps forward, leaned over and picked up a leftover rice stalk.The rice leaves and rice stalks were rough and rough, Lu Ciyu crossed his fingers and rubbed them for a while, then turned around suddenly.

Even though he had just left the house not long ago, he missed Lin Chi a little bit.

Harvesting rice is actually a tiring job.

The two of them chatted about this topic in the morning.

You have to bend down and stand upright to repeat, the rice stalks are rough, and sometimes people are anxious to scratch them bald, and they can directly grind out a palm of blood by friction.With a wound on his hand, he continued to cut rice, and the piercing pain pierced the bottom of his heart.Old wounds are not healed and new wounds are added, and the hardships of the years have been engraved on them, leaving indelible marks.

Just like Lin Chi's hand, which is obviously only a child, but is full of calluses, thick joints, and a few deep scars.

When interlocking fingers with him, just looking at the knuckles, the other party looks more like a man.

Lu Ciyu turned around and went back to his small courtyard, Lin Chi looked at him blankly.

"Why did you come back?"

Lu Ciyu shook his head: "I just want to meet you suddenly."

Lin Chi was startled, and stepped forward to grab his sleeve: "Did something happen?"

Lu Ciyu pulled him into his arms, slid his hands down his waistline, and landed on Lin Chi's hands in front of him, wrapping his hands in his palms.

He leaned his head on Lin Chi's shoulder and looked down, the contrast was really sharp.

Not to mention Lu Ciyu's complexion is fair, but his joints are clearly defined and his fingers are slender. Each joint is very beautiful. In modern times, the promotional photo of pulling a suit and tie with one hand can make people feel uneasy.The only few thin cocoons were also ground out when fighting zombies with weapons.

He stroked the scar on Lin Chi's hand for a moment, and asked, "Where do you think we bought the land?"

Lin Chi didn't expect that he ran back here just to say this, and he didn't realize it for a while, thinking: "Our farm family lives on the land, and we will never sell the land unless we encounter a hurdle that is really difficult to overcome. , even if it is sold, it will be bought by others immediately. Now it is the autumn harvest, and there have been no accidents in the village in the past few years, so I am afraid that no one will sell it in the near future."

Lu Ciyu nodded.

He also thought about this before.

Mr. Lu is very ruthless in his work, and he has used many means to suppress his business opponents, but asking him to count ordinary villagers for a few acres of land... This kind of thing is too heartless and he doesn't really want to do it.

Seeing Lu Ciyu frown, Lin Chi stretched out his hand to caress his brow: "We can reclaim wasteland."

"There are many places on the other side of the mountain. I have seen it before, and the soil quality is very good. It is no worse than the high-quality farmland in the village."

"And the newly reclaimed wasteland does not need to pay taxes for the first three years."

Lu Ciyu thought for a while, and made a list of the pros and cons in his mind, and was a little moved by the comparison for a moment.Finally adopted his opinion.

Finally have my own home!Lin Chi felt more at ease in his heart: "Then I'll go to Uncle Li in the afternoon and borrow some farm tools from him, and when I have nothing to do, I'll go to reclaim wasteland!"

Lu Ciyu quickly grabbed the man's hand: "What are you going to do?"

He continued to frown: "After the autumn harvest, I will pay to recruit people in the village and ask them to help us cultivate. You can supervise the work."

Lin Chi was puzzled: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do at home. If I can do it myself, why do I need to find someone..."?

Lu Ciyu nodded: "Be obedient."

Lu Ciyu would never let Lin Chi touch the farm tools again, the scars on his hands were enough for him to remember for a lifetime.What's more, there's no reason to let your own daughter-in-law go to the ground.

"Let's go and have a look in the evening. First select the land and talk to Uncle Lizheng. After the autumn harvest is over, we will report to the government."

……

In fact, it doesn't matter when it will be their turn after the autumn harvest.

The grain shop assistants who come to the village regularly to collect grain will always lower the price, which is naturally better than sending it to the town and selling it on its own.

However, transportation in this dynasty was really underdeveloped.If he wanted to enter the town, he would have to walk for half a day on his legs or wander around in a bullock cart for several hours. The tossing back and forth was even longer than Lu Ciyu's full power.

Besides, how much can a bullock cart carry?How much grain can villagers harvest per mu of land?All the rice harvested by one villager is enough for the ants to move for ten days and a half a month. What can they do except wait for someone from the grain store?

Villagers can at most choose a few bags of good rice to sell at a high price when they go to the town to go to the market, such as the second aunt Lin in the past, but it is simply impossible to move all of them into the town.

"There's more." Lu Ciyu half-circled Lin Chi, watching him feed the rabbit.

"There are only a few households in the village with ox carts. Naturally, they want to lend them to their relatives and friends at the first time. How could they neglect their own people for lending them to us for no reason."

"In such a big village, everyone doesn't know each other. Everyone who is acquainted with each other will go round one by one. By the time we are lined up, I am afraid that it will be winter."

Lin Chi sighed: "Yes."

"That's why I thought about buying a farm animal." Lu Ciyu continued.

"Eh??"

"Mules, horses and cows can do anything, the main thing is to pull carts to transport things, so that it is convenient for us to enter the town."

Lin Chi was really frightened.Farm animals are extremely rare in the village.Yangning Village is considered a big village in Shili Baxiang, and there are no more than ten families with large-scale farm animals.

One is that the price is expensive, and a calf costs about several taels; the other is that the government has a lot of things to report, and it has to go through many approvals, and people come down regularly to check whether there are private abuses that kill meat eaters and don’t report them. The third is that most of them will not raise them.

Because of the price, after bringing them home, I wish I could offer them to my ancestors, so I have to clean up a shed hundreds of times a day in case the cows get sick, but I don't know that this is not good for them.

It's not that no one in the village had raised cattle before, but he died of improper care within a few days after bringing them home. The man was dragged into the government office and beaten twenty sticks, which directly cut off the hearts of all the villagers.

"This is a major matter related to your husband's life, you have to watch it for me, you know?"

Lin Chi felt that he seemed to shoulder some huge responsibility, so he nodded seriously.

Only then did Lu Ciyu enter the house satisfied, and when his figure disappeared into the yard, Lin Chi realized——

Did he say so much just to keep himself from going to the ground?
