Section 4012 Rough Beginning 4
"The village master, the crops in the fields have died of several acres of land."
The leader of the village felt that his head was about to explode, but he had no choice but to sit in the house and drink. The joy of the fields before was gone, because not only their fields were like this, but even the ones they just got were like this. In the past, there were very few people who truly understood water conservancy and would not pay attention to this. They all paid attention to the sky. The most terrifying thing about paying attention to the sky is that God would not think you are a human being, and would help you make some good choices.
"knew."
After Master Li said this, the person at the door left.
The people in the village are not in good spirits these days. At this time of year, something always happens because if there is not enough food, people's voices will change and everything will happen at that time.
However, he has no choice every year, but he didn't expect that the situation this year would be so tragic. What's going on?
People won’t care about retribution or other thoughts, because how could people with slaves care about this?
The temperature outside is getting higher and higher, and the sun is radiating its own light as if it is not expensive, making the temperature of the earth more direct.
He couldn't continue here anymore, so he stood up and found a horse and left the Li family village.
I ran all the way to Guhuai Village, but when I was on the way, I met people from Sun Family Village. This village was very small, with almost a few hundred people. Because people in these places like to do small businesses, they have a good relationship with people in the county town. Although they usually despise them for lack of backbone, they rarely starve to death because these people have relatively flexible brains.
Most of the people in the Sun Family Village are medicinal farmers and hunters. They do not rely on the ground to eat, but hunt and sell medicine. However, in such hot weather, there will be no more prey.
He originally planned to go to Guhuai Village after crossing this section of the road, but he didn't expect to see a strange road. This road was definitely not built by them themselves, because building roads in the past was a very painful thing. Not only did he talk about work, but also food was also a big problem.
Although this road is not long or wide, it was covered with weeds when I walked here before. However, there was a stone slab in the middle of the road, which was only about fifty centimeters, but it was still surprising.
After he got off the horse, he led the horse around this one and walked to a small field beside him. He found that the field was lush and green without any dryness. When he walked to the end, he saw a river with an arm width. He was sure that this river must have not been there before. How could it be here?
He was about to go down to take a look, but someone shouted, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
He looked up and saw a child holding a wooden stick in his hand. The bear looked at him fiercely and shouted, "It seems that he was planning to move him hard."
From this dress without a top but wearing a shorts, it can be seen that the child should be a child in the village, and there are some things like herbal juice on the child's clothes. You don't need to look at it to know that it is from the Sun Family Village, so you can't help but ask, "Are you from the Sun Family Village?"
"So what? Who are you? Why are you destroying our canal? What do you want to do?" The child is very thin, skinny, but mentally irritated? Not bad, there is a piece of skin on his head that is a little peeling from the sun. It looks very funny, with a big head and a small body, which is a feature of the children here, and the skin is very dark.
"This is called a canal?" Li Village Master did not go down, but looked around and found that the distance between the canal was really far. If it was really dug up, it would take a lot of time and energy. Moreover, it seemed that this thing should have access to somewhere. Could it be a huge pond or something else?
"Yes, it's the canal." Children in the past were similar to those when we were young, and as long as we had just learned terms, they couldn't help but show off.
"How is it, haven't you seen it?"
The child's success looks very aroused, but he couldn't hate it at this moment. Instead, he asked with interest, "Who dug this?"
"Of course it was dug by the people from our village." The child said proudly, "Only our village has it."
"How come your village wants to dig this?" Master Li asked curiously. This is not a so-called ordinary thing. Without anyone to guide you, why can you suddenly change from a mountain villager to a person who knows everything?
"Of course it was taught by Lord Xing, I..." After all, the child is just a child. After saying that he had missed his words, he quickly shut up and said, "I don't know."
The leader of the village Li had already received the news he wanted, so he ignored the child, turned around and got on the horse, and went directly to the Sun Family Village.
There are people guarding the gate of any village, because one is to prevent wild animals from attacking, and the other is to prevent people from attacking other villages from attacking. Therefore, he was stopped at the gate of the village, and when someone reported it, he smelled a faint fragrance of medicine.
The growth of medicinal materials requires a very good environment. Some places need dryness, while others need water. However, whether it is dry or water, you need water to make such a decision. Otherwise, if you don’t have water, it will probably be difficult for you to do such a simple thing.
Through the fences, he found that the yard was also lush, with many trees and weeds very lush, and some bamboos even grew very well. From time to time, some cattle and sheep passed by here. They were not eager to find water, but leisurely looking for some weeds to gnaw.
"Our village leader invites you in."
The person who went to pass the message came back and said to the village leader Li, then pointed to his horse and said, "Let's take you down and have a drink of water, horse."
"Thank you." Li's village leader seemed very powerless, but he seemed a little sincere. If he were to behave normally, he would never say these words.
Following a very narrow path of stones, there are fences on both sides of the house, with many plants covered with local fruits, and some are wild plants. As long as these things are without water, they will easily dry up. However, when he looked down, he found that there were some water stains at the roots of these plants. It seemed that someone had watered them in the morning.
After passing through this aisle that was about 100 meters long, he came to the yard of the master of the Sun Family Village.
The village of Sun Family Village is called Sun Dayan, but it is an old man in his fifties. He has thin body, dark skin, and slightly turbid eyes. He looks cold as ice when he looks at people, but when he sees the yard is filled with various medicinal herbs, it is warm and very strange.
The reason he wanted Sun Dayan was because he could climb up even the steepest peaks and cliffs. And after so many years, he still hadn't been killed. This shows that he has the ability and his name is really good.
However, when Li Zhuang walked into the yard, he discovered a strange phenomenon. Not only did there be medicinal herbs, but some things like weeds in their eyes. In fact, they were just some mountain delicacies, or wild game, etc. These things are usually eaten by few people because they have no taste and don’t like to eat them. And unless it’s after heavy rain, these things in the mountains are not as good as some nuts to resist hunger. But the strangest thing is that he saw a lot of orange peels, which is the so-called tangerine peel. However, in the past, in Sichuan, the oranges were very good at producing, but the skin was thrown away. Now, after a few days, it is the real life for oranges to be produced. Many villages and even in the mountains have a lot of oranges. In the past, it was at most snacks. If it really doesn’t work, someone might send them out to sell them, but not many people bought them because they are all over the mountains. Who do you want to sell them to?
But now there seems to be a new saying, because tangerine peel has this effect in Xing Tian’s mouth: to treat vomiting, nausea and noisy, vomiting clear water, breathing, and stop vomiting. At the same time, if this thing is added to the food, it will not only taste good, but also help relieve stomach discomfort and treat cough and excessive phlegm.
So, this thing is a treasure, but you don’t understand it, so you can only make so many of them rot every year.
But now after Sun Dayan learned about this, he sent someone to pick some ripe fruits on the mountain and sell the flesh to those Songzhou people. The peels were made according to their requirements. It was heard that the price was very expensive.
Sun Dayan's village has no slaves. You are wondering, but it is real, because he has no way to have slaves here. Although there is a little land, there are very few, and they mainly rely on collecting herbs to make a living. If the person you brought out is a slave, what should you do if you are unhappy at that time? Then you really can't get up and get down.
When he walked in, he saw Sun Dayan gently turning these things with his hands. In order to prevent dust from being stained with it, he even added a layer of straw mat. The straw mats in the village are usually used for sleeping, so who would be willing to do so?
"Sun Dayan." Although the village leader Li is about the same age as him, he has a temper, so it is a habit to call him by his name directly. Unfortunately, Sun Dayan, who is usually timid, seems to have an indescribable temperament at this time. He turned to look at him and said, "It's Li Datou, are you here?"
Not many people knew the original name of Li's village leader, but it actually exists because of a big head, so many people would call him like this behind their backs. However, in fact, no one dared to call him like this in person, so Sun Dayan's words made him stunned. However, when he thought that he had come here and saw some strange scenes, he decided to take a look.
"Are you?" Li asked the village leader pointing to the past garbage in front of him.
"Hey, life is not easy. Now, I am old and can't go to collect herbs anymore. Just do some side jobs. We can't compare with you. There is no land and people, but we have nothing here." Sun Dayan sighed and said. Although it was a joke, to be honest, there was no sadness, but a bit proud.
This taste comes from having an identity, but unfortunately it is not.
"It's not easy for you. I heard that you picked a very precious and important tree in the mountains last year. If you took it out and sold it, you would have to have at least a few dozen cents of taxes. How much food can you buy?" Li said with a smile, but was sent to Lei by Sun Dayan's next words, "That, I've given it to someone."
"What, have you given me away?" Li's village leader was about to jump out of his eyes. He didn't believe in such a thing. After all, people in the past had different opinions about many things than ordinary people. Some really precious things can be bought and sold and passed on from home will never be sold. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
"Yes, no one wants it, so it's better to sell it." Sun Dayan said casually, then looked up at him and asked, "Are you very busy recently? How could you have time to come to us?"
"What am I busy with?" Li's village leader was upset during this period, but he could be said to be busy or not, because he had no idea. How could he say that he was really busy or that he was busy at home?
"Oh, that's why I remembered it wrong." Sun Dayan said this and turned around and returned to the room. After a while, he took out two large black bowls and a clay-like kettle to invite him to sit down, "Come on, drink a bowl of water."
Although he rode a horse along the way, he was angry and would always have all kinds of bad emotions. Therefore, his body was prone to dehydration. So the master Li picked it up and drank it dry. The mountain springs in the mountains always had all kinds of strange smells. No matter how this taste changed, there were always two words: sweet.
Sun Dayan slowly picked it up and drank water slowly, but he only drank about half a bowl, and then looked at him and asked, "What's the matter with me? There are no people in the village today, and even if you want to keep you for dinner, there is no way."
This is a kind of rejection, but now, the leader of the village, even if he puts a wild boar in front of him, he can't eat it, so he can only ask his concern, "When I first came, I saw that you actually dug a canal here?"
"Yes, this canal leads to the half-pot pond in the back mountain." Sun Dayan said casually.
Banhutang is a very strange existence because the opening in that place is not big, but I think of a kettle, but it is strange that the kettle is full of water, and I don’t know where it flows in. However, no matter when, the kettle is not short of water, and no one knows how deep it is.
