Ye Jianqiu

Urban filling is cute because of people, and people are also vivid because of urban filling.

Walking on the streets of Qingyang Town, a bright breath of life blows over us.

Standing in front of the shop full of beautiful things in eyes and fluttering colorful flags, watching the cars and horses approaching, and the pedestrians passing by, accompanied by a horse neighing and a few ancient singing voices from time to time, it is like enjoying a deep-rooted movie. Old movies of time and age.

The autumn sun is different from the scorching heat of summer, and it becomes warmer and kinder. Under the bright sunshine, houses, bridges, city towers, archways and other buildings appear to have their own characteristics. The people dressed in ancient costumes yelled and waved cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock past in a hurry, and the people pushing carts, carrying sedan chairs, carrying burdens, and carrying baskets also shuttled through the crowd.

The dust and smoke of history is slowly unfolding in front of Ye Jianqiu like a beautiful picture scroll, and he himself is one of the various states of the city in the picture.

Someone quietly pointed at him and said, "Look, this is a farm worker, and his clothes were made by people from our village."

"That's right, the uniforms of the Legion Farm! Although there is no embroidery piping, the workmanship is also very troublesome, and there are pockets all over the body, which can hold hundreds of taels of silver."

"Oh, it turned out to be Guan Shi!"

"Guan Ye is so young, he is really young and promising."

"My hometown, Xitu'er Village..."

Ye Jianqiu smiled, ignored the comments of the people around him, put on his hat, and wandered leisurely in the bustling city streets.

He is like a solo traveler with a backpack from afar, strolling in the streets and alleys.

He has been in this world for almost a year, and Qingyang Town is both strange and familiar to him.

Now the alley where he stopped was very quiet, surrounded by ordinary courtyards where ordinary people lived.

He caressed the vicissitudes of life but the real thick blue bricks, measured the mottled gate with his fingers, stroked the small dry moss in the cracks of the bricks, and squatted on the ground watching two or three ants crawling around his feet...

The stone road has been polished smooth by the years, and the original gray stone has become black and smooth. The small courtyard has various small gatehouses with strange shapes. Colored door gods and spring couplets, carved hollow shapes on the top of the door, like flowers and magpies wrapped around branches, and two quaint little stone lions in front of some doors, their heads tilted are delicate and cute, as if they are welcoming This visitor from another world, the neem tree protruding from the wall has already produced fruit, and strings of green peas are caught in the green leaves, which is particularly eye-catching.

The courtyard walls of every household are inlaid with portrait stones and portrait bricks, which always reminds him of the "Mount Tai Stone Gandang" that can suppress all ominous evils on the courtyard wall of his hometown, and there are children's cheers not far away. The sound of screaming and cooking...

The blue bricks are cold, the moss is soft, the air is fragrant, and the birds are singing... This is an extremely real world.

Aunt Li's words are still in my ears: "Xiaoqiu, if I say you did something wrong, will you..."

"will not!"

He was really afraid that one day, when he fell asleep, he opened his eyes and went back to his familiar hut, reached out to turn on the switch at the head of the bed, stared at the ceiling in a daze—Qingyang Town, was it his dream?The people and things he cherished in the dream will disappear like a dream, then he is just a passer-by in this world...

At this time, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from around him, and before he could recover, someone quickly hugged his head from behind, covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, and a pungent smell There was a strange smell, and when he was dizzy, a cloth bag covered his head, and he lost consciousness in the dark...

....................................

Cao Wuzheng is wearing a big straw hat, smoking a pipe that never smokes, and is sweating profusely directing the workers to build the greenhouse. Although he is not professional, he is very dedicated.

He stood there commanding and yelling loudly: "Hey, it's time to load the ingredients, the people above pay attention to continue!"

"Why don't you have enough to eat? They are as boring as women. You can't finish this job, so don't even think about eating at noon! I have a big basket of big white buns all day long, it's better to feed pigs!"

"Hey, that so-and-so, you three men, keep your eyes open, haven't you seen that straw mats are being laid on the top! Feed the materials more quickly!"

Cao Wu regained his prestige in the market. When he roared, even the ground shook three times.

Chaoge was not at the farm, so he rode out suddenly, and only said to him: "The farm will be handed over to you and Jianqiu."

Cao Wu nodded in agreement, he didn't ask what Chao Ge was doing, but he was very envious, Chao Ge must have gone to do some important things that are confidential, this is what men should do.

Cao Wu walked to the side of the shed, touched the earth wall mixed with straw and thought to himself, it was almost lunch time, why didn't the little cook come back?It's really worrying to go out this early in the morning.

However, now the chief supervisor of this farm is really the two of them left. Hehe, he can also learn from Chaoge and have a meeting with the little cook in the office, write and draw, and talk half the night... that is the real case. , talk at night by candlelight!

At this time, a worker who was in charge of passing the message at the gate hurried over and said, "Cao Wu, there is a guest asking to see you."

Farms generally do not accept outside guests. Even if you knock on the small wooden window specially reserved on the wall, you have to go through repeated approval and research before letting people in.

Chaoge and the little chef were not there, so he was responsible for approving the visitors... Cao Wu immediately became alert, and asked with great vigilance: "Who is the visitor, can you ask clearly?"

"I've made it clear. It's a villager in Xitu'er Village, a little girl named Ye Wanzhen. She said she's our Guanshi Ye's younger sister."

"Little girl, Ye Wanzhen?"

Ye Dashan and Niu Shi always praised this second girl intentionally or unintentionally in front of Cao Wu, saying that this second girl was beautiful, smart, dexterous, kind, cute and clever... Although he had never met, but he had heard her name for a long time,

Cao Wu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but the little cook had specifically explained that this Ye Wanzhen couldn't be let in, but the little cook didn't say anything more.

It seems that this little girl must have some conflicts with her brother, which he can't control as an outsider.Although people can't be allowed in, they can talk through the wall, after all, she is Little Cook's own sister.

"Go, I'll see you."

Cao Wu came to a doorman’s hut. There was only a small window on the wall where only his head could be exposed. It was specially used to receive letters and visits. There was also a table with paper and pens on it. Visitors had to register. You have to press your fingerprints.

Cao Wu opened the window, and saw a beautiful teenage girl standing outside under the sun, wearing a yellow floral sarong, a straw hat on her head, and a rattan basket on her back. The girl's face was covered with sweat, and her face was flushed.

Seeing that she and Ye Jianqiu had somewhat similar eyebrows and eyes, Cao Wu couldn't help feeling soft: "Is it Wanzhen?"

"Oh, it's Brother Cao Fifth!"

Ye Wanzhen rushed to the small window in surprise: "Fifth Brother Cao, I finally see you! My parents always praised Fifth Brother for his righteousness in front of me. As expected, Fifth Brother has a chivalrous heart!"

Cao Wu laughed happily: "Where, where, is there something wrong with Wanzhen?"

"I'm here to deliver the letter, and I've traveled dozens of miles!"

"What letter? Look at the sweat on your forehead! Are you tired?"

"Wanzhen is not tired, but thirsty."

"Then...have some water first?"

"Yup!"

Cao Wu commanded his subordinates: "Go quickly, fetch some water."

Soon, a big bowl of herbal tea was brought over, Ye Wanzhen drank it dry in one gulp, raised her head, then stretched out the bowl again and said, "Fifth Brother Cao, Wanzhen wants more."

Ouch, this girl is really exhausted.

Cao Wu took another bowl with distress, this time Ye Wanzhen didn't drink too fast, but took it up and drank while saying: "Brother Cao Wu, I came back from my hometown, and I'm here to send you a letter for my elder brother."

"Is he back home?"

"Yeah, our whole family went back to our hometown today. My eldest brother called our whole family back early in the morning and said that there were important things to discuss. After returning home, my eldest brother lost his temper. He didn't like his parents using Cao Wu My brother bought a shop with his money, and after a big fight, my brother left in anger, and said he was going to Linyue City to find Brother Situ, and asked you to look after the farm for him."

Cao Wu's head drooped.

Ye Wanzhen saw that Cao Wu was discouraged, and comforted her: "Brother Cao, the elder brother said, I will leave this farm to you and rest assured. You are honest and capable, and he will remember what you are sincere to him! Look, he will give you How much trust is it to stay on the farm and take care of such a large group of people for him! Even his own sister and I are not allowed in! It can be seen that you, Fifth Brother Cao, are still very important to my elder brother's heart!"

"That's true!"

Hearing this, Cao Wu felt a lot more comfortable and grinned.

Ye Wanzhen took off the rattan basket behind her back, took out a bag of things and handed it to Cao Wu: "Brother Cao Wu, these are the clothes and shoes that the second sister made for you. The uniforms here are of a strange style. Give it to Fifth Brother Cao!"

"Hey, sensible girl!"

Cao Wu stretched out his hand to take it, and was very moved.

I saw that the clothes were finely crafted and made of exquisite materials. Although the style was the same as the farm uniforms, they looked like high-end goods at first glance. They felt crisp and straight, and the trousers flicked, as if they could stand there.Those shoes are also newly made thick-soled cloth shoes with laces and air holes. After trying them on, they fit my feet perfectly and are extremely comfortable!

This girl really has a heart, Cao Wu's size is the largest, and this suit looks suitable for everything.

Ye Wanzhen lay on the window, tilted her head and smiled, "Fifth Brother Cao, I know this uniform should be durable, dirt-resistant, and wear-resistant. This is the cotton and linen material specially chosen by the girl. What do you think?"

"Very good!"

Ye Wanzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, my task is done, it's finally time to take a break."

After finishing speaking, Ye Wanzhen hid in the shade of a tree in the distance, squatted down and fanned her straw hat while pulling out a piece of dry food from the rattan basket to eat.

Cao Wu couldn't bear it, and called her: "Wanzhen, come and eat in this hut, it's hot outside."

Ye Wanzhen smiled and shook her head: "Thank you fifth brother for your kindness, I will rest under this tree for a while. Big brother has rules in the farm, no one else can wait to enter, our own family, we can't take the lead and break the rules."

Cao Wu sighed, this second sister really understands the truth.

Seeing the little girl squatting under the tree pitifully eating dry food, choking and retching, Cao Wu couldn't stand it any longer. How could a little girl turn the world upside down?Cao Wu scratched his head, sitting in the gate hut and not going into the farm, shouldn't he violate discipline?

So Cao Wu made a mistake, opened the gate of the farm and dragged Ye Wanzhen to the hut at the gate without any explanation.

"Come and do it in the house. Brother Wu will order some food for you. It's the middle of noon. How can you just eat dry food?"

"No, Fifth Brother Cao, go ahead and let me take a breather."

"sit down!"

Cao Wu angrily knocked away the dry black bun in Ye Wanzhen's hand: "There is a restaurant at home, why do you still eat this?"

Ye Wanzhen seemed to be frightened by Cao Wu, and said with tears in her eyes: "The conditions at home are much better now, but there is still a surplus of this coarse grain, it's a pity to throw it away..."

"Silly girl, let's not eat this today, brother will bring you something delicious!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Wu got up and went to serve Ye Wanzhen a meal.

Seeing Cao Wu leaving in a hurry, Ye Wanzhen showed a triumphant smile on her face.
