Chapter 173: Going Home

"Ouch!" I'm hungry and want to eat something delicious.

"You just want to eat when you come back, right? Can you catch prey in the forest?" Su Yue mocked but still took out the food from the space. She was quite distressed that the bean cake had lost weight.

"Ouch!" Dougao was angry. You can laugh at my weight, but you can't insult my dignity or my personality.

Su Yue scratched it, yawned and rubbed its hair, "Okay, eat quickly, and sleep in the house today." I'll let you go back to the mountain tomorrow.

The next day, just as Su Yue thought, the heavy rain last night seemed to have never happened, and the weather became hot early in the morning.

The sky has cleared up, and the people in the village have become busy, because today is the autumn harvest. The villagers went to the fields with shiny sickles. The water in the fields was drained a few days ago, and the weeds on the roadside were also cleared.

Just to prepare for today’s harvest.

After breakfast, Su Yue was fully armed, wrapped up tightly, and went to work in the fields with a sickle. She had five acres of rice to cut.

"Xiaobao, are you going to the fields with your mother or going to your grandpa Gen's house to play?"

Li Laogen's carpentry money was enough for him, so he rented the fields that belonged to Li Laogen to the villagers, and they only needed to give him some rice and sweet potatoes every year.

"I'm going to pick up ears with my mother." Xiaobao ran over carrying a small basket, took Su Yue's hand and started to leave. That little look was more positive than her mother.

"Wait a minute, bring a hat." Su Yue put on a small hat for Xiaobao. The sun is poisonous, and it will not be good if the little face is sunburned.

The faces of the villagers I met on the road were filled with the joy of the harvest. For old farmers, the land is their rice bowl and their children.

There are also many children, like Xiaobao, carrying baskets, following the adults. They are all picking rice ears in the fields.

When adults are cutting rice, there will always be some small broken ears of rice that fall into the field and are too late to pick up. These children will follow them from a distance, staring at the ground closely. They will be happy when they pick up a single ear of rice.

Jump up.

The harvested rice will be pulled to the drying field as soon as possible. There are cows pulling stone rollers to thresh the rice. People who don’t have cows at home will borrow other people’s cows. As long as they give the cows a good meal, this is good.

It's like corn tortillas.

Su Yue didn't raise cattle, but Ma Lanfang's family did, and Xiaojun even came over to tell her that she could just use theirs.

The threshed rice is spread on the drying ground, and a wooden rake is used to spread the rice into a thin layer, allowing the hot sun to bake the rice. It is turned over every once in a while until the moisture in the rice is dried.

Except that she was not used to using the sickle at first, after Su Yue got used to it, her speed became faster and she cut the five acres of land in one day. This was because she deliberately slowed down.

After her family's work was done, Su Yue went to help the Wei family again. Wei Dang and Wei Laoer were still guarding the mountain. They had no time to come down to cut the rice. There were only Wei Jianguo and a few women and children in the field.

Su Yue alone can support three people. With Su Yue joining in, the Wei family's rice fields have been shrinking at a visible speed, and the people in the fields next to them are envious.

Li Guihua was one of them. There was a field bank between her family's farmland and Wei Jianguo's. Su Yue worked for other people but not for her own. She was extremely jealous.

The more people her family has, the more fields they have. She will shed a layer of skin from exhaustion every autumn harvest, but she is not the one who is tired. At this time last year, she was still resting at home and did not have to go to the fields to cook. All the work in the fields was too much.

Su Yue goes to do it, I don't know how comfortable it is.

Now there is no free labor like Su Yue. She was forced to work in the fields by Wei Dashan. She had not done heavy work in several years. She only worked for a short time before she was so tired that she could not stand up straight.

He slapped his waist and looked next door. Su Yue asked Ma Lanfang to rest under the tree and drink the cold mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Su Yue, like an old scalper, had endless energy, and the rice was everywhere he went.

And fell down.

Li Guihua's gaze was so penetrating, and the malice in it was unconcealed. Su Yue looked back fiercely, and Su Yue could clearly see the malice in Li Guihua's eyes.

Li Guihua did not expect that Su Yue would suddenly look over and raise the sickle at her.

The sickle shone sharply under the sun, and it seemed that it could cut down on herself in the next second. Li Guihua trembled with fright, and the sickle in her hand almost hit her feet.

"What are you doing standing around? You can't finish working here. You don't have to go home for dinner at night." Wei Dashan lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Guihua gloomily.

"No, I'll do it right now." Li Guihua responded solemnly, not daring to look around anymore, and started cutting the rice.

Ever since Wei Dashan paid Su Yue 100 yuan for stealing melons from Wei Youcheng, Wei Dashan's temper has become more and more unstable. He can get angry at any time and beat people if they don't get what he wants.

And Wei Dashan has a very good reputation. In order to prevent the villagers from knowing that he was beating people, he would lock her in a room, gag her and beat her. If she couldn't help but scream, Wei Dashan would beat her even more severely, and now she was

There are also red and swollen marks, all caused by the poisonous hands of Wei Dashan.

While Su Yue was working hard to cut rice, a military jeep on the county road was slowly driving toward Shi'an Town.

While driving the car, Hu Ziqiang couldn't help but glance back through the rearview mirror. Unexpectedly, the circles under his eyes started to turn red again.

"Look at the road, what are you watching me do?" Wei Heng leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest. He noticed Hu Ziqiang's eyes and raised his hand to rub his temples and opened his eyes, meeting Hu Ziqiang's red eye circles.

"Why are you crying again?" Wei Heng's voice was clear and slightly hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Company commander..." Hu Ziqiang swallowed more and looked back. He didn't pay attention to the wheel and drove into a hole. The car shook violently. Wei Heng in the back seat grabbed the seat to stop him from moving forward.

He fell down, but still frowned and groaned.

"Bah..." Hu Ziqiang was so frightened that he stepped on the brakes, and the car suddenly stopped, leaving a light trace on the road.

Hu Ziqiang parked the car in a hurry. Fortunately, there were few cars at this time, and the jeep parked in the middle of the road without blocking the road.

Pulling open the door of the rear seat with force, Hu Ziqiang's voice was anxious and faintly crying, "Company Commander, are your legs okay? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been distracted. I'm so stupid and can't do anything well."

, Company Commander, you shouldn't have saved me, just let me die. If it weren't for saving me, even the Captain would have used your legs... your legs wouldn't have... Oh, Company Commander, it's all my fault.

"

Wei Heng's painful forehead was covered with cold sweat, but his expression remained unchanged and he gritted his teeth without saying a word. There was a little blood on the bandaged area of ​​his leg.

Hu Ziqiang became even more panicked and was about to untie the bandage with trembling hands. Wei Heng waved his hand as if he couldn't feel the pain and said in a cold voice: "I'm not dead, why are you crying? Keep driving."

"Yes, company commander." Hu Ziqiang sniffed, wiped away his tears carelessly, restarted the car and drove towards Shi'an Town. This time he did not dare to be distracted. If the company commander's leg got worse, he would die.
