I farmed in ancient times

Li Xiurong let go of Cassia and put him on the ground. The two of them bypassed the intersection and quickly crossed the stone bridge to the other end.

There was no guard on the other side of the bridge, and the two walked side by side, taking advantage of the cover of night, towards Wangli Village.

Li Xiurong: "Do you know who stole it?"

Cassia: "I don't know, but I have a way."

"What way?" Li Xiurong curled his lips, "If you want me to say, just grab someone to lead the way, it's simple and easy."

Jue Ming: "Won't it be exposed if you arrest someone and ask for directions? I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiurong suddenly covered Caesar's mouth and dragged him to the woods beside the road. Caesar's eyes were wide open, and he saw three figures sneaking past the path under the moonlight.

The eyelashes brushed Li Xiurong's thumb, Li Xiurong let go of his hand uncomfortably, and the two followed the three of them, guarding the bridge.

Li Xiurong: "Don't you remind them that the people in Wangli Village are going to steal seedlings?"

"No." Jueming said, "I want to see who is stealing the seedlings, and then go to his house."

Let them taste the consequences of daring to touch things in Damo Township.

Damo Township was quiet all day yesterday, and the three of them took advantage of going up the mountain to set foot on the spot, so they had a good time to act tonight.

The river separating Damo Township and Wangli Village is the Daoliu River. The only bridge between the two villages is a bridge. If you want to detour from other places, you have to walk for more than half an hour.

The three of them had already figured out the guards in Damo Township, so they crossed the bridge lightly tonight, sneaked through the sandy land in the east of the river, and still chose the bean sprouts from Uncle Shi's house, which were the easiest to steal.

The three walked very lightly, and Uncle Shi was not disturbed, and successfully stole dozens of bean sprouts. The three returned along the original road with bags on their backs.

Jue Ming, who was guarding the bridge, dragged Li Xiurong to follow the three of them, and when they entered Wangli Village, they entered three small courtyards respectively.

In the middle of the night, Wangli Village was silent, except for the three small courtyards with lights on. As soon as the stolen bean sprouts arrived, the courtyard immediately started to move, the sound of women's surprise, the sound of hoes scratching the ground, and the cuckoo of chicken coops mixed together. , Within a moment, the sound gradually died down and the lights dimmed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Jue Ming lay on the door and listened. There was a faint snoring in the yard, and the family members were already fast asleep.

Detouring the family's backyard, Jue Ming rubbed his hands, clasped the courtyard wall with both hands, kicked his feet, and climbed up with difficulty.

Seeing that Cassia Ming pouted, climbing up and sliding down again, Li Xiurong pulled Cassia down, "I'll take you there."

As he said that, Li Xiurong took a few steps back by the collar of Cassia Ming, and with momentum, he stepped on the courtyard wall.

With a bang, the courtyard wall collapsed, and the courtyard wall made of yellow mud was smashed to pieces by Li Xiurong's kick like tofu.

"How much effort did you use!" Jueming suppressed his voice, "Hurry up!"

Li Xiurong led Cassia back in embarrassment. The two hid behind a small courtyard and listened to the movement for a long time.

The person whose courtyard wall was kicked into pieces fell into a dreamland and didn't notice it at all.

Seeing that it would be dawn if he didn't do anything, Jue Ming pulled Li Xiurong forward, stepped on the broken courtyard wall, and went straight into the backyard.

The timid chickens in the coop were cooing. The family didn't seem to have a dog. Caesar said in a low voice, "Turn around."

"What's the matter? Doing bad things and still crawling to see the young master?" Li Xiurong muttered in a low voice, and Jue Ming simply supported his shoulders and turned him over.

After making sure that Li Xiurong would not turn around, Jue Ming took out the blue bead and squeezed the bead.

Pearl understood, and immediately sprayed out a line of water, watering every bean sprout.

The sound of water pattering, Li Xiurong clicked his tongue.

—Could it be that he pissed on the bean sprouts?

— No wonder I turned around.

Jueming had no idea of ​​Li Xiurong's mental activities, after Lanzhu spit out the water, the bean sprouts on the ground turned yellow and dried up, as if they had been exposed to the sun for ten days.

After solving this problem, Jue Ming patted Li Xiurong on the shoulder, and the two walked down the house.

This family also has a courtyard wall, this time Li Xiurong first climbed up the courtyard wall by himself, and then stretched out his hand to pull the cassia.

With the help of his strength, Caesar flipped over to the courtyard wall and looked coldly at the bean sprouts inside the courtyard wall.

This family has the largest number of bean sprouts, with a total of hundreds of them. The first person to steal Uncle Shi's bean sprouts must be this family.

Standing on the courtyard wall, it was inconvenient for Li Xiurong to turn around, so Jueming stretched out a hand to cover his eyes, with his fist upwards, the blue beads in his palm slowly floated up, wrapped around the roots of the bean seedlings low, and watered the seedlings.

"Wang!"

A dog barking came from the yard, Li Xiurong trembled, almost fell off the wall, grabbed the air twice with trembling hands, grabbed Cassia Ming's waist, afraid that the dog would show it vividly through body language.

Cassia Ming was already prepared, he took out a greased paper bag from his pocket, unfolded it, and threw a big marinated bone in the direction of the barking dog.

The yellow dog lowered its head and sniffed, then quickly put the caretaker aside, trotted to the kennel with a bone in its mouth, and gnawed slowly.

Caesar turned to look at the bean sprouts in the courtyard.

Soon, the bean sprouts wilted one by one, and this was not enough, Lanzhu destroyed all the plants in the entire backyard, Caesar then reached out to recall Lanzhu.

"Okay." Jue Ming let go of his hand, "Don't talk about what happened tonight."

Li Xiurong thought he was afraid that the people in Wangli Village would find out about revenge on him, so he patted his chest and said, "I know! I promise not to tell it!"

Li Xiurong jumped off the courtyard wall with him in his arms, and brought Cassia to the last house. After watering the bean sprouts withered according to the law, the two returned to the small courtyard at the foot of Panshan Mountain under the moonlight, and went back to their respective houses.

Early the next morning, Uncle Shi found that his bean sprouts were running low again.

But soon, Uncle Shi heard that something strange happened in Wangli Village.

Three families also planted soybeans in the backyard. The soybeans they planted seemed to have been dug out and dried in the sun, and then planted again, directly drying up in the ground.

There was a family whose entire backyard, including the peach tree that had been planted for five or six years, withered.

Ordinary people, who planted beans in the backyard?No need to think about it, the three families must be the ones who stole the bean sprouts. Da Mo Township said this was retribution and punishment from heaven.

Contrary to Wangli Village, all the crops in Damo Township jumped three feet overnight, which makes people have to think of a word.

Raise your head three feet and there is a god.

For a while, people from Damo Township went to the mountain to worship every day, and they were planning to build a mountain temple beside the small pool.

This matter was unanimously approved by everyone in Damo Township. Starting from this year, miracles first appeared, the mountain god bestowed divine seeds, the mountain god punished those who stole the bean sprouts, and made the crops in Damo Township jump three feet overnight. These few things are enough for Damo Township bragging for a lifetime.

Seeing the young man moving stones and wood up the mountain to build the mountain temple, Jue Ming clasped his hands together and muttered in his heart: I'm sorry, Lord Mountain God!

Accompanied by the drizzling rain, April has passed, and the crops in Damo Township have been growing well without being affected by the rainy weather.

Like Damo Township, other places have chosen to grow rice due to the continuous rain. Even so, there are few days of sunshine in a month, and the roots of field crops tend to be rotten by water.

Li Zheng walked to the edge of the field and pulled out a seedling. The root tip of the seedling was rotten, and it was about to break.

If the temperature continues to rise and the weather remains like this, I am afraid that this year will suffer the longest flood.

The water level in the river channel has risen to the fullest, and the current is brushing against the bottom of the bridge.

The little official, wearing a coir raincoat, informed all the villages that they would come to the yamen tomorrow morning to discuss important matters.

Lizheng went for half a day and came back with a sad face.

It has been raining for more than a month, and the river water only rises but never falls. The county magistrate ordered the villages near the water to prepare for flood control in advance, store rations in high places, and move the villages with low terrain to high terrain ahead of time. The time limit for preventing floods from submerging the village suddenly was only half a month.

Damo Township is close to Panshan Mountain. Although it is close to the Daoliu River, the terrain is not low. Lizheng only ordered people to put the grain in high places and collect everything.

Cen's house is at the foot of the mountain, and Cen's father is not worried that the flood will come up. Besides, although it has been raining for several days, it is only light rain.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the weather was rarely cleared. Looking up and squinting, the red sun was surrounded by a golden ring, and there was no cloud in the sky.

A "I'll never rain again" look.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, Cen Daonian took out the book to dry in the sun, while Jueming went to the grass and cut a handful of wormwood and stuck it on the door.

The school was on holiday today, Cen Daonian was washing zongzi leaves in the yard, and while Cassia Ming drained the soaked glutinous rice, the two of them moved out of the wooden table and sat in the yard making zongzi.

The zong leaves are folded into a funnel shape, filled with glutinous rice, and Cassia picks up a candied date with chopsticks and puts it in, then fills it with glutinous rice and wraps it up, tie it tightly with a rope, put it aside, and then wrap other zongzi.

Because of the large number of people, Caesar prepared four kinds of zongzi, white zongzi, candied jujube zongzi, eight-treasure zongzi, and meat zongzi in the end.

Wrap the zongzi and cook them slowly in a small pot. When it is almost done, Cassia cooks marinated duck eggs and fresh eggs, and cooks a pot of porridge.

Porridge and zongzi were not enough. Jue Ming looked at it, and found that Father Cen still had a lot of mugwort. He pulled off the leaves, made some green balls, and fried two dishes. After these were done, the zongzi It was also cooked, and Chaoan went to the next door to call for someone. Five people sat in the yard, eating and drinking, enjoying themselves.

After lunch, the originally clear sky slowly gathered dark clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the wind was raging, and seeing the sky darken, passers-by on the road quickened their pace and hurried home. Before a stick of incense, the big raindrops fell on the ground. Immediately afterwards, thousands of raindrops fell to the ground one after another. rain curtain.

Cassia only had time to put the plate back into the house, and the courtyard was filled with stagnant water. The gutter made of bluestones was instantly filled with stagnant water, and it flowed happily out.

Li Xiurong and Wu Yuan were trapped in Cen's house, so they simply moved a chair and sat in front of the door, looking up at the rain with Cen Chaoan.

The wind was howling, the black clouds were accompanied by thunder and thunder, and the heavy rain was pouring down for two hours, showing no signs of abating.

Against the wind, Uncle Shi walked towards the paddy fields in his coir raincoat and small shoes.

At the foot of the mountain, many villagers went out despite the wind and rain, digging ditches to drain water. Uncle Shi’s paddy field is high, and he dug several gaps to drain the water away.

Uncle Shi didn't even bother to help them up one by one, so he turned and went down the mountain to help other people in the village dig ditches.

Seeing that the rain would not stop, Caesar got up and went to East Kitchen to cook with an oil-paper umbrella.

Cen Daonian moved the wooden table in the yard to the kitchen, and half of his clothes were still wet while holding the umbrella.

"It's raining too much." Cen Daonian said, "Be careful not to accumulate water in your yard, drain it in time, and sleep more alertly tonight, I'm afraid people will go up the mountain one after another to find shelter."

Wu Yuan kept it silently in his heart, after dinner, the master and servant returned to the yard, Wu Yuan dug two ditches to drain away the accumulated water in the yard.

Damo Township slept very restlessly tonight. The rain continued unabated as the night passed, and it seemed like there was endless water in the sky, rushing to the land of China, and no state or county could be spared.
