Another World Baixin

The next day, Boss Bai accompanied his son Baogui to the head of Banbao's house early.But Bai Xin voluntarily went to the field with the old man and the second child, causing everyone in the Bai family to look at him strangely.Only the old man felt a little relieved, thinking that he was beginning to understand.

Dongxi Village is located on hills. The Bai family has one mu of paddy fields and two mu of dry fields, all of which were reclaimed by the old man with one hoe and one hoe, and the east and west are scattered.It rained a few days ago, so it's just right for planting seedlings now.

In the seedling field, the seedlings are scooped up piece by piece with the thick wet soil under the roots, and tied with straw and rope.Bai Lao Er picked up a load of seedlings, with the old man in front and Bai Baoyuan behind, and Bai Xin at the end, and walked to a depression, with paddy fields opening up on all sides, and there were many people in the field.The fields of the Bai family have been leveled and filled with water. The second child of Bai threw off the straw sandals and scattered the bundles of seedlings into the fields of the Bai family.When it was over, he greeted Bai Xin to go into the water.

Bai Xin stood beside him with bare feet, watching him untie a bundle of seedlings. Several seedlings were divided into clusters. The roots of the seedlings must be soiled, and the clusters were inserted into the underwater wet mud about an adult's finger away.This work is very exhausting, and the brain is congested for a long time. When the sun comes out, the humidity heats up the air, so it is not easy to suffer from heat stroke.

Bai Xin didn't see anyone suffering from heat stroke, but in the nearby paddy field, someone suddenly roared; when he turned his head, he happened to see the person's left hand pressing on the top of his calf, his right hand tightly pinched the pink flesh under his left hand, and quickly pulled it out. .

Hiss——Bai Xin gasped, the pink thing turned out to be a writhing strip of meat!Flat shape about the size of an adult's little finger, commonly known as blood-sucking worms, hide in the water, drill through the pores and go in along the blood vessels, and after they get in, they can only scratch the blood vessels and grab them out.

Boss Bai saw it, and said with a playful smile: "Ciao Zhong, you're going to be lucky these days, you're going to be famous!"

Qin Lizhong didn't care too much, and breathed a sigh of relief after smashing the worms into meat, "Thank you for your good words! If the rice harvest is good, it's no harm to ask this beast to bite." Bai Xin's face was still a little bit He saw the panic, so he teased and said: "Ah Xin was frightened when he came back for the first time. As long as he moves quickly, he can pinch it off, and if it is not enough, it will leave by itself when it is full. The man bleeds a little and is afraid of dying." Wow! Haha!"

Bai Xin: "—"In the past, he also helped the villagers, but he had never transplanted rice seedlings, but he had never heard that there were such bugs in the paddy fields, probably because people in that era wore water shoes, and the bugs couldn't get in.

This field is more than one-third of the field, which is close to the village. The other two-cent fields and one nearly four-cent fields are located in remote places.The three grown men quickly finished the first piece, went back for breakfast and continued.Mrs. Fu also went to help after finishing the housework.

The heat in the afternoon was too hot for a break, and most people took a lunch break. The old man dug out bamboo strips to make a basket, and Bai Xin consciously sat on a small bench to watch.After reading it for a while, he saw something interesting, so he tried to weave one out of the old man's broken pieces.The old man didn't say anything, and only gave him some pointers when he could see the prototype of his weave.

Bai Xin danced his fingers quickly, and a small basket was forming. He felt that he had activated this skill all of a sudden, and he was in a very happy mood.

The grandparents and grandchildren sat in the shade, fingers flying, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Daddy, Ah Xin"

The grandfather and grandson, who had fallen into the state of selflessness, suddenly came back to their senses, and saw Qin Shuangping coming in from outside the courtyard.

"Daddy, Baoli and the others are inside."

The old man nodded, "Probably on a lunch break."

Qin Shuangping sat on the bench and said: "Yesterday, I went to sell some mountain products in the small market in the town. The shopkeeper who received the goods reminded that during this period of time, there are fewer people picking and the price is higher, especially the price of medicinal herbs has increased sharply. I thought about calling Baoli A few of them, cousin Ah Qing and Ah Lin went to the top of the mountain to search."

The old man has no objection.

At this time, Bai Xin asked: "Can I go?" Afraid that he would object, he said: "I've been up there for a few days and I'm fine. I can help if I have strength."

Qin Shuangping was very surprised by this.He thought to himself: This cousin has changed so much since he returned from disappearance, and now that he's sensible, it's true that a man can't become a talent if he doesn't work hard. Let the younger brother do more things later.

"Ah Xin can go if he wants to, but you have to keep up with everyone and don't run too far. Gather at Ah Qing's cousin's house when the cock crows tomorrow, and I will go in to find Baoli."

Looking at his thin back, Bai Xin looked distressed: Where is Cousin Ah Qing's house?The only remaining memory of the original owner does not have this, so is it still too late to pretend to be amnesia or pretend to be a road idiot?Just had your head smashed?Bai Xin thought seriously.Then he saw the first bamboo product in his two lifetimes that had been completed in his hand, and his eyes lit up: borrow something to go in to find out the news.

In Baoli and Baoxi's room, several girls and Liangzi are there.As soon as Qin Shuangping explained his intentions, Baoli agreed.She can't keep the money she usually sells embroidery for herself, but going up the mountain is different, because the harvest is all based on luck, and what children can get if they dare not go into the mountains is not very valuable, and the money they sell does not have to be handed over. Can keep private room.

Baoxi has always followed her sister to do things; but Baohua didn't want to go, her two elder brothers were pampered since they were young, and they didn't like to do hard work. I only heard that Mei Qing, the cousin of the good uncle's family, took the lead and agreed to go. .As for the two youngest, there is no need to consider it.

Hearing Bai Xin knocking on the door outside, Baoqian was sent out.He was only seven years old, and he belonged to the age before his waist appeared. His cheeks were so fleshy that he wanted to pinch them just looking at them.Then Bai Xin couldn't hold back his strike.Feels better than expected.

The little guy is well-behaved, quiet and introverted, but Bai Xin had a bad reputation before, and was regarded as a big devil by the children in the village.Thinking of being pinched by the "big devil" Bai Xin, the child's eyes began to glow green.As a result, it was stuffed into a newly woven small bamboo basket.

"For you, it's the first time we make it up, and it's pretty pretty." Seeing the child holding the small basket tightly, Bai Xin was very satisfied.

The child looked at it for a long time, and wondered, "What are you pretending to be so small?"

Bai Xin thought about it carefully and replied, "You can put two oranges."

The child couldn't figure out the meaning of making a small basket for two oranges.

After this "exchange of gifts", he felt that the "big devil" is much better than before, and he can be friends, so he boldly asked: "I heard from my sisters that you will go with them tomorrow morning."

Bai Xin: "Well, you are too young now, you can follow me when you grow up to my age."

The child was very serious and used his hand to measure the current height difference between the two, and the result was zero.

Bai Xin died in depression.

I went out to ask the old man for bamboo strips and wanted to weave a basket for myself, but unfortunately the old man didn't believe in his craftsmanship and refused to provide the bamboo strips.

In the early hours of the morning, the resident next door yelled for the first time, Bai Xin quickly got up to pack himself, put the basket on his back, and went to the front to wait for the girls.Originally, when the old man didn't give him bamboo strips, he wanted to sneak a bamboo basket while the adults weren't paying attention. Unexpectedly, at night, the old man gave him a new one, the length was just right for his height, and there were actually two sweet potatoes in the basket A bamboo knife.

Bai Xin's clothes were still wrapped in red vines, and because it had saved his life, he paid special attention to it.Seeing that it was still early, he showed his fists and kicks at the door for a while, using very simple moves, any one would do.

Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Bai Xin stopped his movements, and soon the courtyard door opened, and three little girls with baskets on their backs came out one after another.

Holding the torch, Baoli closed the gate and said to him, "Let's go!"

Baoxi Baohua was on her left and right, and Bai Xin swept behind, and arrived at Mei Qing's house not far away.After knocking on the door, Mei Qing came out with Mei Fanglin and Qin Shuangping who arrived first, and greeted each other.

Mei Qing and Qin Shuangping each had a torch, and Mei Qing frowned slightly, "Ah Xin, follow me closely, don't look around and walk away. Be careful."

Bai Xin: "Yes."

Merlin glanced at him and said, "It's such a trouble, what can we do next, why not go back and sleep."

Mei Qing shouted: "A Lin! If you don't want to go, our gate is right behind you."

Mei Lin was the "A Lin" that Bai Xin had met in Shoushan. Seeing that his brother was really angry, he reached out and grabbed one of his sleeves and did not speak.

The team officially set off.The brothers from the Mei family led the way, the sisters from the Bai family followed, and Qin Shuangping and Bai Xin took the lead.Mei Qing is 14 years old this year, calm and stable, and has a lot of prestige among the brothers and sisters.

When we reached the top of the mountain, it was dawn and the fog was heavy in the mountain, so the torches did not need to be extinguished.Each person takes a tree trunk to find the way.Qin Shuangping knew a lot of herbs because he came here often, and he didn't hide anything. He explained while picking. He brought two main tools: scissors and a shovel, and the others also brought more or less, but Bai Xin took out one The broken spatula and the short bamboo knife given by the old man were ignored by everyone.

Bai Xin: "I took this from the stove, took out the ashes, and polished it."

Qin Shuangping: "You..."

Three sisters: "..."

Merlin covered his mouth, which was bursting into laughter.

On the contrary, Mei Qing looked at it and said a pertinent evaluation: "Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended."

No one knows that such a scrap 'iron implement' was 'picked up' by the former Bai Xin.

There is a lychee tree on the top of the mountain. I don't know when and who planted it. The trunk is thick, straight and tall, and the tree is not young.Lychees should be fresh, and it is best to eat them now, as they are gradually ripening.The shop of Baochang’s nephew Bai Xiaotang invites the villagers to pick the lychees every year, and only pays the wages. The lychee money is given to the Baochang for the needs of the village.At this time, most of them have been picked, and some are left on the tree.

Several good sons and girls loved this thing, so Mei Qing went up to pick it.

The following eat happily, and enjoy the breakfast; the above Mei Qing is diligent and hardworking in feeding.From this, Bai Xin realized that a man should be like a big tree, standing on top, so that the flowers and plants around him can enjoy peace and happiness.

Continue on the road after dinner.From time to time, there are wild fruits, miscellaneous mushrooms, wild vegetables, and herbs.Mei Qing took his younger siblings to a beehive he discovered before to collect honey, which was his main purpose of going up the mountain.

Seeing him take out a handful of herbal medicine from the basket and light it to smoke out a few times to drive away the bees, dig a small hole in the hive, and use a long spoon to dig out honey.Don't dig it out, don't destroy it, save it for the next time.

The younger brothers and sisters were eye-opening, and they respected Mei Qing even more, and praised her as delicate as a precious flower.While admiring Bai Xin, he felt that he was also a man, so he should show some performance.

Probably Tiandao heard his heart.Mei Qing, who was busy talking and joking with his younger siblings, suddenly felt the weight of the spoon, and then there was a "buzz", and a super-sized bee flew out of the hive and rushed towards him!

"Ah!" Baohua, who was closest to him, immediately turned pale with fright.

At this moment, a figure rushed over, and the giant bee flew upside down and disappeared.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Mei Qing mentioned that he was half stuck in one breath, and took a few breaths to ease it. He stared at Bai Xin curiously, "Ah Xin, you move so fast! You have practiced, who taught you?"

Before he could answer, Mei Qing hugged him happily: "Ah Xin is really amazing! Thank you this time!"

Bai Xin blushed in his arms and struggled to the ground.

After the thrilling past, everyone was relieved, and their attitude towards Bai Xin changed a lot, and Mei Lin didn't reject him very much.But thinking of the one just now, he said with reproach: "Brother, the mother bee was beaten away, so this hive should not come back, next time it won't be able to collect honey."

At this magical turning point, Mei Qing just froze for a moment, touched Bai Xin's head—the hair quality is too bad, and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay, it's nesting elsewhere, I'll look for it again. Help me get all the honey got it."

Everyone worked together, smoked, disassembled the honeycomb, took honey, filled it, and tasted it from time to time.Sugar was a luxury to these children, even more expensive honey.Today, thanks to Mei Qing's blessing, I was lucky enough to eat it, except for Bai Xin who was a little depressed, the rest were very happy.

Mei Qing only brought a small jar to hold honey, but today she harvested royal jelly by accident, not much, just a few taels, but it is very precious.Baoli suggested to him to leave one of the bamboo tubes for drinking water empty.

After handling it properly, they continued to move forward and turned over a small hill.

"Ah! It's Russula!" Baoxi was the first to notice a touch of camellia red between the two rotten wooden stakes.

Everyone gathered around, this russula is relatively small, the canopy has just been opened, the middle is slightly concave and dark red, and there are thick light gray folds under the cap, it looks very beautiful.Baoli picked it and put it in Baoxi's basket.

Mei Qing said excitedly: "The red mushrooms on each mountain are not too far apart, let's look around."

Russula can be said to be a special tonic for people who can have children and children, especially suitable for after giving birth, and it is very popular with good sons and women in Weiguo.However, Honggu usually grows in deep mountains and old forests, where wild animals appear and it is not easy to pick them.

It was the first time for Bai Xin to know red mushrooms. If he remembers correctly, he saw a lot of fungi when he walked in the wrong direction after coming out of the cave that day. Among them, there was a piece of red mushroom that had the same appearance as this one. At that time, he thought it must be poisonous if it was so beautiful.It's time for him to perform well this time.

"I know a place where there are a lot of mushroom species, among which the russula is the most."

Bai Xin's words surprised his teammates, and Captain Mei asked in surprise, "Ah Xin, have you been there? Is there any danger? Are there many wild animals?"

"Maybe it's because there are more poisonous mushrooms and herbivores eat them. I don't often encounter wild animals when I go."

Mei Qinglue thought for a while before making a decision: "Search the nearest place first, and then, Ah Xin, take everyone there."

So it was decided.Bai Xin dared to lead the team only after he had been to the current mountain. Otherwise, even if he knew there was a baby, he would not know where he would open his mouth no matter how he got there.

This is the periphery of Shoushan Mountain, the trees are not dense enough, there are many bushes, and there are few red mushrooms.Bai Xin led the way and turned to the deep mountains. There were more and more animals along the way, but most of them left when they saw them from a distance.Not long after, I came to a slope surrounded by tall basswood trees, and the thick humus under the trees gave birth to bright red patches.

Merlin: "Wow!"

Baoxi: "A lot!"

Baoli Qin Shuangping said in unison: "Quickly pick!"

Baohua struck first without further ado, but Qin Shuangping saw that she pulled her up straight away, and the root was broken in the soil, so he hurriedly stopped her: "If the roots are cut off, it's worthless! Use a shovel to gently move the soil layer, and even the roots will come out. Generally, it is relatively soft, and bamboo chips or thin wooden sticks can be used without a hand shovel.”

Mei Qing happily pushed Bai Xin: "You heard me. Don't stand still, pick quickly." Then she urged the busy figures in front of her: "Be careful! Be careful!"

There is a reason for Bai Xin not to move. Something is staring at him with his extremely keen six senses.Check all directions, there is a little golden snake on the right back, leisurely circling around the branches with its small tail.It seems that the branches are too thick and the tail is too short, and it suddenly fell off without being wrapped properly.The little golden snake "hissed" a few steps down and walked five steps away from Bai Xin to look at each other.

This color and size made Bai Xin think of the snake he encountered twice in his life.If he was alone, he would definitely turn around and run away, regardless of whether it was seeing him by fate or following him.

Bai Xin thought 'it's too unreal, I'm probably crazy' and took a step forward, but the golden snake didn't move; another step, it turned backwards.Bai Xin pondered for a moment, bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and stretched out his hand shortly.

He dared to do this only after several adventures, otherwise he would feed the snake with blood because he thought his life would be short.What a crazy move.

After a while, Bai Xin was worried about attracting other people's attention and was about to stop. The little golden snake swam over, curled its long tongue, and the blood on its fingertips disappeared. Then it opened its mouth to bite. The beast, but was surprised to see it turn and leave.I was startled for a moment, so I didn't mention it.

The mushroom picking team was very busy. In the end, the baskets were filled with only the red mushrooms, and the other red mushrooms and miscellaneous mushrooms were not picked. Some, although the crooked basket is not very attractive, but it is big enough to hold, both of them thanked him.

Then I hurried down the mountain to go home while I could still see the road.Along the way, several people were talking about buying something for themselves after selling things. It's a pity that the mountain goods have to wait for a few days to dry before selling.

It was already dark in the village, and everyone went back to their homes.

In the lobby of the Bai family, Mr. Bai, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Fu, and Mrs. Jiang waited for four people, Bai Xin, or three girls, with oil lamps on.Zheng's face was ugly, and she had to pay attention to three daughters and grandchildren who went out at once.Mrs. Fu was still adding fuel to the picture: "Didn't it mean that Ah Xin stayed on the mountain for a few days and was familiar with it, so he should have come back earlier than normal! It's already this hour, what happened, it's not like Ah Xin left again Lose it?!"

When Zheng heard the end, his face suddenly became ferocious.

Jiang Shi, who came back from her natal family, was very worried, and smiled reluctantly: "Probably not, Ah Qing took them, he has always been reliable in his work; and Shuang Ping followed, he often goes there and has a lot of experience." Not enough confidence to speak.

After a while, the children really came back.

"Grandfather, grandpa! Eminem!" the girls called out in repeated voices, but Bai Xin was ignored.

Jiang chatted happily with the two daughters; Fu was about to hug her daughter to make out, but was thrust into a big basket.

"Oh, it's finally easy, there are too many things."

Baohua took off the heavy burden first, and coquettishly said to Fu: "Look, Mu!" Turning her head and pulling Zheng Shi, she said cheerfully: "Grandpa, we have picked a lot of red mushrooms! There are too many, and there is not enough time. That!" Mrs. Zheng had already seen the red mushrooms in several people's back baskets, and the impatience just now was wiped away.

Then I heard Baohua snapping her fingers and saying: "I'm going to sell some of these to buy me a handkerchief and head flowers, and keep the rest for my sister-in-law and my little nephew—oh, my little nephew! It seems like my little nephew is not enough to eat, otherwise Just leave it all to him! I don't want to buy anything."

Mrs. Zheng seemed to see a fat-headed boy shouting "Tai Mo", seeing that she was clearly reluctant but willing to hold back for the little grandson, and said happily, "You can only make a little money, and keep the flowers for yourself." , do you have grandchildren to take care of, Xiaoji will ask them to buy it for you tomorrow!"

The Bai family did not have a separate family, and all income was handed over to the Zheng family. The family had to report to her to withdraw money when buying things. It was not easy for everyone to save a few private houses, and they were reluctant to spend them.However, Baohua is always changing ways to please Mrs. Zheng when she buys things.

Seeing Fu Shi and Bao Hua's complacent looks made Jiang's mother and daughter three feel frustrated, and the second wife was not a clever talker, so she couldn't play with such hypocrisy.

After Boss Bai got married, he paid less and less money to the public account.The Bai family has little land, so the eldest son farms at home, and the second son goes to the town or county to pick up work, and when he comes back to help with farming, all the money is handed over to the Zheng family throughout the year.However, Jiang's previous births were not sons, and he couldn't stand up in the Bai family. Thinking that in the future, the son of Boss Bai would have to die in retirement, and he had no choice but to watch that family spend the money handed in by her family.It wasn't until Qian gave birth to a treasure book two years ago that he raised his head, and Bai Er would also hide his secrets.It's a pity that the elders are about to feed the family and fly away.

This is just a matter of thought.When the old man saw that everyone had returned safely, he only said, "Everyone gets what they get. The girl's family is big, so she can dress up if she has some money." He called Mrs. Zheng into the house.

Jiang's mother and daughter were very happy about this. After all, so many Honggu can be sold for a lot of money. According to Zheng's intention, they must be handed over to the public.

Bai Xin returned to the kitchen after the old man entered.Relying on my night vision and light hands and feet, I climbed to the roof of the kitchen and dumped things out to dry. Even though the dew was heavy in the middle of the night, it was better than being stuffy.Later he simply lay down on the roof and fell asleep.
