Dinon

The ancestral house of Tuoba Chen's family was built in the west of the village on a somewhat high slope.The foundation of the house is three or four meters above the ground, and a stone ladder needs to be built on the ground to be lowered.Fortunately, the ancestors and grandchildren paved a stone ladder at the door in advance to allow people to pass.

It’s just that the stone ladder is nothing to others, but it’s a big trouble for Tuo Bachen. For example, every time she descends the stone ladder, she has to find a strong wooden stick to support her body. Rolling up and down the stone ladder, he was in a mess.But other than that, she still admires and is grateful for the foresight of her ancestors. At least, she doesn't have to suffer the consequences of a leaky house.

Farmers, the worst thing to encounter is the rainy season, especially the heavy rain that falls continuously for two or three days.

Before the rainy season came, everyone had to prepare dry food in advance, and the whole family carefully calculated the dry food, otherwise they would not be able to survive the rainy season.It would be okay if it was just dry food for the rainy season, but the heavy rain brought far more to these farmers.

First of all, the crops in the field, whether they are harvestable crops or young seedlings, no matter which one they are, they can't afford to soak in the rain for a few days!Therefore, when the rainy season comes, most of the peasants sigh and pray to gods and Buddhas at home, praying for the rain to stop.

The most unlucky thing is not only these, the houses of the peasants are often surrounded by sticks covered with mud, without even proper beams and columns, and the roofs are covered with layers of thatch, and the thatched houses are drenched by the rain. , the weight of thatch* increases, and often the house collapses before the rainy season is over. What's more, the house is built in a low pothole. When the rainy season comes, the house seems to be soaked in. In Wang Yangli, those salt jars, vinegar jars, and rice jars were all soaked in water in no time. By the time the water submerged, they would no longer be edible or usable.

Fortunately, Tuo Bachen had never encountered such a situation. Firstly, her house was built very high, and secondly, her house was built with blue tiles when her ancestors were rich.Although this house is old, it is still more comfortable than a thatched house. People in the village saw Tuobachen's house during the rainy season, and said with envy that Tuobachen had a good ancestor.

Seeing that the rainy season was approaching, Tuo Bachen brought a wooden spade from the house in a panic, limped and took the wooden stick that he used as a walking stick, and was about to run down the house.

"What are you doing?" A soft female voice sounded behind her, and Tuoba's transparent and pale face was a little embarrassed. She still couldn't calmly deal with this beauty who was rescued a month ago.

"I...I..." Tuo Bachen wrung his hands awkwardly, raised his head a little, and saw a beautiful woman in front of him who was leaning against the wooden door with folded arms and staring at her suspiciously.It was really embarrassing to be stared at by her watery eyes, Tuo Bachen whispered, "Why did you come out? The doctor said, your injury will last for a few months without wind."

Yuan Shuyi looked at the face in front of her, which was so pale that it was bloodless, which was somewhat similar to her memory, and her heart couldn't help being moved. She raised her long and narrow eyebrows, and said, "Tell me what you want to do first."

"Ah?" Tuo Bachen opened his mouth slightly in a daze and whispered, his pale but still rosy lips pursed slightly, showing the full posture of a little girl, even if she was wearing the clothes of an adult man, she couldn't hide her daughter's outstanding appearance .

Seeing her like this, Yuan Shuyi thought strangely, did no one in this village see that Tuobachen was a girl, or did a farmer take her away as a rabbit master?

She is just being overwhelmed. In the eyes of the peasants, is there anything strange?They only know that the combination of yin and yang between men and women is a matter of course. Even if they see Tuobachen's beautiful appearance, they only think that she is beautiful. No one ever thought that she would be a girl in disguise. The problem is no joke.

Tuo Bachen didn't know what Yuan Shuyi was thinking at the moment. She herself had been living alone since her mother passed away, and she had very little contact with the villagers, and she rarely saw strangers. Yuan Shuyi, who was beautiful and didn't dislike her lame legs, was a little happy and a little close.After all, she is a girl. She has been bullied by bad boys of the same age since she was a child, and because of the difference between men and women, she cannot play with girls in the same village. She is lonely in her heart.And at this moment, she is naturally close to Yuan Shuyi, a girl of about the same age.

"The rainy season is coming soon, I want to dig a water channel next to this house, otherwise the house will be flooded in heavy rain." Tuo Bachen looked at her, his dark eyes were full of clear streamer.

Yuan Shuyi heard the words, folded his arms and glanced around. Indeed, although this house was built on a slightly higher hillside, the slope has been eroded by water in recent years, and the slope has become more and more gentle. If it rains heavily, this house will be really uncomfortable. .

"Can you dig?" Yuan Shuyi looked at her suspiciously, frowned and sized her up.

Porcelain white skin like glass, jet black hair, eyes filled with spring water under the moon, the rippling blue waves are fascinating.She is tall, but it is still not difficult for people to notice her frailty.

Her eyebrows and facial features are very much like her parents, as delicate and beautiful, but it is easy for people to see the root of her disease caused by sex.

Feeling a little embarrassed by her gaze, Tuo Bachen bit his lips and didn't speak, but stubbornly walked towards the stone ladder with a cane in one hand and a wooden spade in the other. Although she was weaker, her temper was extremely hard .

Yuan Shuyi sighed softly, stepped forward to snatch the wooden shovel from her hand, and said, "Let me do it."

She couldn't argue with her, so Tuo Bachen had no choice but to compromise, but she insisted on going with Yuan Shuyi, and Yuan Shuyi agreed after thinking about it.

It is said that it is a small waterway, but it really takes a lot of effort to dig it up.Although Yuan Shuyi has never done hard work, she has always been able to endure hardships, so she raised the wooden shovel and started digging regardless of the pain caused by the wounds on her body that were not healed.Because of the heavy rain just a few days ago, the land is still very soft, so it is not too much trouble to dig. In a short while, Yuan Shuyi dug a water channel that is more than three feet long and one foot deep.

It is good that the soil is soft, but the mud is also mixed with some water. It is inevitable that some mud will collapse on the body when doing these jobs. Looking at the mud all over my body at the moment, even my hair is a little sticky, and I feel alive. The land lady in the temple.Yuan Shuyi sighed, she finally knew why Tuoba Chen would put straw sandals on her just now.

"What's the matter, are you tired? Or is the wound hurting?" Hearing her sigh, Tuo Bachen hurriedly dropped the work in his hand, dragged his legs and struggled towards her in the mud.

"It's okay." Yuan Shuyi shook her head, looked at the person who had already arrived in front of her, and asked her strangely, "What were you doing squatting there just now?"

After carefully inspecting her body and making sure that the wound was not open, Tuo Bachen raised his head and said to her happily, "Pick up something!"

"Picking things up?" Yuan Shuyi was confused, "What is there to pick up here?"

"There's a lot!" Tuo Bachen's usually pale face flushed with excitement, "There are a lot of earthworms in this soil. If I pick them all up, it will be enough for me to bait for several days. Also, this waterway When I was just picking up earthworms, I found out that there are many loach and shrimp holes!" As he said, Tuo Bachen excitedly raised his hands behind his back to her eyes, "Look, this is my achievement." A lot of big lobsters with red claws are strung on a willow branch with willow leaves hanging on it, and a lot of long and thin creatures like snakes are swimming in a bamboo tube filled with clear water.

She was talking there excitedly like a child, Yuan Shuyi's face was gloomy, she didn't say anything, just picked up the wooden shovel, walked up to her, bent slightly, and said, "Come up."

Tuo Bachen was taken aback by her action, and stood still.Yuan Shuyi's glamorous face slipped a trace of impatience, and she pulled her on her body, "Aren't you going up?"

Tuo Bachen blinked and realized that she wanted to carry her up on her back because of her inconvenient legs and feet.She felt a little warm in her heart, looked at the few drops of muddy water on her beautiful face, and said embarrassedly, "The injury on your back is still not healed."

Yuan Shuyi ignored her, grabbed her and went up the waterway, but she underestimated the influence of the wound on her, a burst of pain spread, she was short of breath, and both of them rolled into the newly dug waterway.

It's all right now, it was just a little bit of muddy water on the body, but after rolling like this, it looks like a mud ball.

The two were lying sideways facing each other, with mud all over their bodies and faces. Looking at each other like little cats, they couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Shuyi rubbed her head with muddy hands, until she was sure that her hair was covered with as much mud as her own, then she withdrew her hand in satisfaction and said, "Next time, don't just mess around with those weird things, I'll listen to you." Said that there are snakes and water monsters in the water, and I will see what you will do when the time comes to eat you.

It was the first time Tuo Bachen got close to someone, she was ashamed, but she tried her best to suppress the ripples in her heart, and retorted in a low voice, "I've never been afraid since I was a child."

Yuan Shuyi's face turned dark when she heard her say this, but seeing that her body was covered in mud and only a pair of bright eyes were exposed, she was happy again, "Can we skip the shepherd's purse soup today?"

Tuoba Chen blushed and nodded.

With great difficulty, the two of them helped each other up, walked into the house, and saw that the sun had risen so high that it was time to light a fire and cook.

Tuo Bachen took out a piece of clothing from the east room and handed it to Yuan Shuyi, saying, "You change the clothes first, I'll boil the water, and I can wash my body later."

Yuan Shuyi looked at her and frowned, this girl is really stupid, doesn't she feel uncomfortable wearing wet and dirty clothes?She thought about it, and asked, "What about you?"

Tuo Bachen knew her kindness, but he just smiled slightly and said, "I don't boil the water, neither of us can wash, you have injuries, it won't be too late to help me after you finish washing."

Yuan Shuyi took a deep look at her, took the clothes and entered the room.

Tuo Bachen stared at her back for a while, then turned around and limped to prepare firewood.
