The daily life of a farmer through farming

Bai Shui understood the meaning of the shop owner's words. It was nothing more than stockpiling food and no longer opening restaurants in order to cope with the famine. You must know that although restaurants have the side of making money, they also have the side of food consumption. Of course, it is the first to satisfy ordinary people who have food. For myself and my family, sometimes no matter how much money I make, I won’t be hungry at critical moments.

It's just that Xiao Lan, who came with them, didn't understand the meaning of the owner's words. Xiao Lan hurriedly took a sip of a big bowl of tea, hiccupped and asked the owner, "Why is this, owner?"

The shop owner didn't seem too impatient, and continued to say with a smile, "If all the food in the family is used to open the shop, what will my family do?"

Seeing that Xiao Lan didn't ask any more questions, and seeing that the brothers had finished eating, Bai Shui was going to ask the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

After he settled the bill and paid the money, Bai Shui was about to let Xiao Lan and the others continue their journey, but the shopkeeper shouted panickedly behind him, "Brothers, I think you are all good people, so I'll just say something straight. "

Bai Shui could see that the owner of the shop was very nervous. This kind of nervousness was not like the feeling of embarrassment when meeting a stranger. Instead, there was a faint fear. Bai Shui knew that the shop owner's next words were very important, so he continued, "What do you say?" That’s right, let’s all listen.”

The shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands, and then said cautiously, "I heard that there are a group of monsters that eat human flesh in the mountains around our suburb. You must pass by there when you go out of the city to the north. Yes, you have to be careful."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, all the big guys present fell silent, they were no longer as leisurely as before, and some started whispering because of this, discussing whether they should go or not this time.

Bai Shui was different from the group of men. He felt that the man-eating monster the shopkeeper was talking about was most likely a depraved human being who couldn't survive the famine. Thinking of this, it wasn't that scary.

After bidding farewell to the owner of the small restaurant, everyone started to get ready to set off again, but this time only Ma Ju and Xiao Lan were ready to set off with Mrs. Baishui.

The other helpers hired by Xiao Lan were a bit timid. Among them, the leader of the helpers spoke on behalf of the other brothers, "Well, boss, you have also heard that there are monsters on this mountain. You have to cross that mountain to reach your destination, but most of our brothers are older and younger, if something really happens."

Xiao Lan and Bai Shui looked at each other without talking nonsense, just stretched out three fingers, and said to the foreman, "The original three times the price, if you are still afraid, then there is nothing I can do."

The group of foremen looked at Xiao Lan's three fingers, widened their eyes and smiled foolishly, "We're not afraid anymore, we're not afraid anymore."

After stabilizing the morale of the army, Baishui and his party continued on their way. Around evening, they arrived at the forest mentioned by the restaurant owner.

Because it was evening, the woods seemed to be getting darker, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts walking on the country road rustled with their feet stepping on fallen leaves. During this time, everyone was a little cautious and did not make a sound.

Seeing that Lu Yu had been driving the ox cart, Bai Shui couldn't let it go, and wanted to snatch the rein in Lu Yu's hand, but Lu Yu held the rein tightly, so he said to Lu Yu, "You have been driving since this afternoon. Keep driving the ox cart, replace me! You take a rest."

Lu Yu shook his head and said without hesitation, "It will be dark soon, we can't wander around in this forest, I'm afraid of falling behind if you drive the car."

"..."

It was getting late, and everyone was still rushing desperately in the dark forest. From time to time, there would be birds crying in the woods, and there would be wild beasts singing alone. People panicked and started to follow the team.

"Ah, there seems to be someone over there, boss!" There was a small man with a squeaky voice among the helpers, who now hid behind the head helper and dared not look up.

Although the foreman was strong, he didn't necessarily have much courage. He was so frightened by the little man's words that he almost let go of the rein. He was sweating profusely and panting heavily, and said to Xiao Lan, "Boss now, I regret it now. Also, is it too late?"

Xiao Lan rolled his eyes at them, and said angrily, "Now that you have come here, you are not afraid of cannibals following you when you go back? If you are afraid, just shut up, and I will deduct your wages if you shout again. .”

The helpers were finally quiet now, and Bai Shui didn't notice any so-called figures during the whole process. In his opinion, the forest was too gloomy, but everything else was fine.

After everyone's hard work on their way, Bai Shui and his party finally walked out of the forest, but they didn't notice the pairs of bright eyes in the forest.

Out of the forest is a piece of farmland that has been covered by night frost. Fortunately, the farmland has been harvested now, and the roots of the crops that were left in the field have been completely burned by the fire. soil of.

Fortunately, the ground was flat and open, which made it easier for the ox carts to travel. Bai Shui and his party lit torches and found an abandoned ancient temple in the dark, and used the ancient temple as a temporary resting place for tonight.

After tidying up the ancient temple, everyone began to take out the dry food they had brought, and satiate their hunger while warming up the fire.

Lu Yu was a little tired after eating, and started to stare at the fire drowsily, wanting to sleep. Bai Shui watched and hurriedly pulled him into his arms, and his legs acted as pillows so that Lu Yu could sleep peacefully.

After a few days of cycling, at the end of the night, Baishui and his party finally arrived at the place Liu Mazi confessed to himself.

According to the process, Baishui and Xiao Lan negotiated the price with the villagers. After the price was set, Baishui took Ma Ju and his party to the designated farmer's house to collect and transport grain.

Lu Yu helped Bai Shui carry the grain, and would help to calculate the bills from time to time, while Xiao Lan observed the quality of the grain, and the group was so busy that they couldn't stop.

When all the food was harvested, everyone in Baishui started to walk back again. Unlike the bleak and downturn before, everyone returned with a full load this time, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"I don't have to worry about the next Pinzhai. I'm worried that our Yipinzhai will be closed due to lack of food like other restaurants." Xiao Lan sat on the carriage with bags of grain on his back, whistling happily, Fu turned his head again and said to Bai Shui with a smile on his face, "Thank you brother, if it wasn't for you and Xiao Yufulang to help this time, I would still be dumbfounded on the stool of Yipinzhai."

After hearing this, Bai Shui hurriedly said, "There's nothing to thank for that, we're all friends, we share blessings and share sorrows."

In fact, Bai Shui's last words were really used when they passed through the Black Forest.

After the ox carts and carriages had gone for a few days, in an early morning, everyone began to face the black forest in front of them in silence. Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and it was not so scary when entering the forest.

When Baishui entered the forest, he had told him to speak as little as possible in the forest and listen to voices more. At this moment, everyone was driving quietly and desperately, and no one wanted to stay longer in the black forest even though it was daytime .

"Boss, do you think there is a dead man's head in the bush?" The voice of the foreman was trembling at the moment.

Xiao Lan and Bai Shui followed the place pointed by the foreman, and found that there was a faint head hanging there in the bushes, still dripping blood. This road was the road they had walked before, and there were traces left by them on the trunk. nick.

They didn't realize that there would be a human head there before. Obviously, this human head appeared after they left the woods. At the same time, it also proved that there are indeed other people in this black forest. This person may also be a foodie. The man-eating monster that the store owner said.

During this period, Bai Shui's expression was serious, and after analyzing all kinds of things, after considering for a long time, he lowered his voice and said to everyone, "We can only escape from here, which is the best choice. After all, we don't know how many people there are on the other side and how many people are there?" for what purpose."

Xiao Lan echoed from the side, "Yes, maybe they want to rob food, so let's not delay."

After discussing everything, everyone was on their way in a panic. During this period, nothing strange happened. Seeing that they were about to leave the infiltrating black forest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Ma Ju said that one of the helpers would help him drive the car. He wanted to go back to the forest to find something. Jade amulet.

Ma Ju was criticized by a fortune teller when he was a child, saying that Ma Ju must have the cold jade amulet to save his life if he is hit by a catastrophe.

Considering the dangers in the forest, Baishui also considered the Mi family who is now helping him with their children. He did not reject Ma Ju's decision, but asked to enter the forest with Ma Ju.

During the period, Lu Yu also asked to join, but Bai Guo refused. The reason for the refusal was simple, that is, the food must be watched by someone, and it would be inappropriate to hand it all over to helpers.

If Lu Yu also followed into the forest, the job of driving the cart would have to be handed over to the helper again, and if the helper got angry and ran away with his and Maju's food, it would be difficult to handle.

In the end, Bai Shui left the team with Ma Ju under Lu Yu's reluctant eyes.

When entering the Black Forest again, the eerie forest made people reluctant to speak, and the pony followed the previous route and the wheel marks to search for the amulet he had dropped in a panic.

Just as he entered the middle of the forest, Ma Ju finally found his most precious amulet, and was about to tell Bai Shui, but he saw a naked man with messy hair standing behind Bai Shui, and he couldn't help but gasped in fright , "Bai, Baishui, behind you."

Bai Shui had long noticed that there was someone standing behind him, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and finally instinctively grabbed the knife in his hand and stabbed behind him.

Unexpectedly, he was easily dodged by the monster, Bai Shui didn't think about fighting with the monster, he winked at the pony and ran away together.

Bai Shui and Ma Ju didn't run away, and fled together according to the original route, but the monster behind him was chasing after him, and because he was familiar with the forest, he rolled over in front of Bai Shui and Ma Ju.

Now Bai Shui finally had the time to look at the man with an unusual appearance. The man's hair was disheveled and even covered his face, with only a pair of eyes showing his face.

Now it's frosty, but the man is still standing naked and barefoot on the ground, with a fierce look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said to Bai Shui, "That day my mother said that one of us is enough to eat, and she didn't mean anything to you , and now you are back again, but my mother and father have disappeared, did you do it? Where are they now?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Shui quickly denied, "We don't know, it has nothing to do with us."

"Earlier, you people looked down on us, and our family of three hid in the woods, and you still chased after us, you people should be killed!"

After the monster finished speaking, it rushed towards the pony and Baishui viciously. The two of Baishui dodged and the monster missed it.

Bai Shui was about to dodge, but his feet were caught by the exposed tree roots on the ground and he fell to the ground. Seeing the monster's speed was far faster than his own, he felt a sense of desolation. It seemed that he was going to be caught.

But unexpectedly, the pony found a wooden stick somewhere and hit the monster hard, so that the monster's sharp claws did not touch the white water.

Angrily, the monster turned over and ran towards the pony, baring its teeth and growling, intermittently saying, "If you don't let me eat him, I'll eat you first."

The pony kept backing away until he accidentally tripped and hit his head on a rock, and then he became silent.

Seeing this, Bai Shui's heart rang an alarm. If he didn't save Ma Ju at this time, he might really be eaten. How could he be worthy of Mi's family.

Thinking of this, Bai Shui picked up a rock and threw it at the monster, but the monster was extremely agile, and avoided Bai Shui's sneak attack with a neat rollover.

Bai Shui could only take a gamble, and deliberately looked at the monster in front of him provocatively, with a frivolous tone and a shallow smile, but it was easy to understand that it was a mockery, "How can a fainted prey be better than a alive one? It has the ability to catch up to me. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Shui ran forward with all his strength, and there were rustling sounds behind him. From time to time, the monster roared angrily. Bai Shui thought silently, he could only help the pony to get here.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Shui didn't realize that the monster would be deceitful at all, and surrounded him from the side, and he was captured alive by the monster in an instant.

The two began to wrestle and wrestle. While Bai Shui was dodging the monster's claws, he was still using his strength to fight against the monster. Perhaps the two sides were more involved in the fight, and no one noticed that there was a cliff below the edge of the forest.

Just when Baishui and the monster reacted, both of them fell down dumbfounded. The cliff is actually quite high, and they would definitely break their arms and legs if they fell, but fortunately, Baishui was smart and used the monster as a backing, so he was not injured .

Taking a closer look at the dying monster under him, he was about to find a way to deal with it, but Bai Shui heard footsteps in the nearby bushes.

Lu Yu waited outside for too long, and said anxiously to Xiao Lan who was beside him, "I'd better go and have a look, it's been too long."

Xiao Lan didn't agree with Lu Yu's actions. If Lu Yu went in and didn't find Bai Shui, it would be better if he lost himself. When he was about to refute, he found that Lu Yu had disappeared in front of him.

Since Lu Yu entered the woods, he has been looking for the ruts of the bullock carts. After a while, he saw the wave symbol carved by Baishui on the tree. Finally, the corners of his mouth were no longer tense, and he continued to hold his breath according to the unique pattern Baishui left The symbols look for their traces.

When he was about to reach the middle of the woods, Lu Yu found that the foal was lying on the ground, he was startled and ran quickly, seeing the injury on the foal's head, he hurriedly called the foal's name.

Hearing Lu Yu's voice from Ma Ju's side, he slowly opened his eyes, gasped because of the injury at the back of his head, but thought of the way the monster rushed towards him before, remembered Baishui, and kept repeating, "Hurry up, save Baishui, Baishui was seen by monsters."

Hearing this, Lu Yu almost forgot how to breathe, and the hand hanging by his side has been clenched into a fist. All the fear of entering the forest has now been completely replaced by the worry about Baishui.

Lu Yu reacted on the spot for a while, then made up his mind and said to Ma Ju, "Brother Ma Ju, I'll put you in the tree hole over there, and I'll go find Baishui."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yu settled the pony, and walked forward looking for the traces of fighting on the ground, until he saw the mahogany sword pendant lying on the ground not far away, it was from Baishui, Lu Yu quickly picked up the pendant, Walking towards the cliff not far away, my heart was beating irregularly.

In the end, he mustered up his courage and looked down the cliff. There was only a pool of bright red blood, which stood out against the background of winter snow. Panic.

Lu Yu took a long breath to adjust his mentality, and kept telling himself that the puddle of blood didn't mean anything, and he still had to find his white water, and he had to get it back unscathed.

Thinking of Lu Yu's gesture to jump down to see if there are other clues, at the same time, Bai Shui just climbed up from the other side and was about to go back when he saw Lu Yu wandering on the cliff just now.

Bai Shui hurriedly yelled behind Lu Yu, for fear that Lu Yu would do something stupid, seeing Lu Yu turning his head and running towards him with a face full of surprise because of his yelling, Bai Shui was just relieved.

"Bai Shui, are you alright?" Lu Yu inspected Bai Shui Zai carefully before letting go of his heart.

Seeing Lu Yu's happy look, Bai Shui also showed a smile on his face, shook his head at Lu Yu and said, "No problem, I'm fine."

After all, Lu Yu was about to take Bai Shui back, but he forgot that there was Qi Lu behind Bai Shui.

Just climbing up from the cliff, being forced to watch his nephew show off his love is really uncomfortable. Even though he coughed a few times and no one paid attention to him, Qi Lu seemed to hear his own heartbroken voice.

"Can you help me go?"

When Lu Yu saw Qi Lu behind Bai Shui, he was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Why is uncle here?"

"Oh, let's start from here."

Bai Shui repeated the story of deliberately provoking the monster in order to save the pony. The person he and the monster fell into the cliff just now was Qi Lu.

It turned out that Qi Lu disappeared during this period of time to catch the monsters in this black forest. Just a few days ago, Qi Lu caught the little monster's father and mother in this forest, and escorted the two monsters back to the county government.

After many people's research, this monster is the butcher's family that disappeared in the suburbs a few years ago. That family used to be very weird and difficult to get along with people. People dare not approach him after seeing it, let alone go to his house to buy meat.

Moreover, due to the sudden famine, this family became even more insane, and began to eat the cattle, sheep and livestock of the villagers. One day, the villagers were thinking of gathering people to ask the officials and lords to respond to this matter, but found that the butcher's family had disappeared inexplicably. .

As the saying goes, it’s good to see what’s out of sight, and the family will keep all their livestock without them, and no one will pay attention to this matter anymore.

But no one thought that this family would become the overlord in the black forest, not only eating raw animals, but now even people.

Qi Lu appeared this time to look for the son of the monster's family. After searching for a long time, he found that his target was being crushed under the white water.

After everything was explained clearly, Lu Yu took Bai Shui and Qi Lu to the previous tree hole to look for the horse.

Everyone finally met again outside the black forest. After the past few days of suffering together, Xiao Lan's feelings for Mr. and Mrs. Baishui deepened. Now seeing his friend standing in front of him intact, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Lan looked at everyone who returned to the team and got off the carriage moved, and hugged one by one, but when he arrived at Lu Yu's place, Xiao Lan felt Bai Shui's cold eyes, so he retracted his arms embarrassingly, and patted Lu Yu instead. Shoulders, and said to everyone, "Now the staff is finally here, let's go!"

Bai Shui got into the ox cart, while Lu Yu continued to drive the ox cart with the team towards home. During this time, Bai Shui quietly held Lu Yu's hand and said softly, "Let's go home."

Lu Yu turned his head and smiled at Bai Shui, "Well, go home."

At this time, light snow falls from the sky, and it falls on people's heads and bodies. It also falls on the hands of Bai Shui and Lu Yu. There is still a long way to go.

Finish.
