Looking at the messy and fallen rice, Shuangxi felt really unhappy. She only felt a suffocating anger in her heart. Don't let her know who did it! If she knew, she would definitely make him regret it!
Although Shuangxi usually has a pretty good temper and is easy to talk to people, this must be based on the fact that others have not violated her bottom line.
This place is the result of a spring and summer of hard work by the Shen family and the Yun family. I am afraid everyone will be angry if this matter is brought up to them.
Shuangxi lowered his head and looked at a small fish left on the ridge of the field, and he already understood what was going on.
The Shen family's rice fields deliberately let fish fry out. In addition, the rice fields were rich in nutrients and had not been fished very much. The fish had grown quite large, each one about the size of a palm.
Although it is not as big as the fish that occasionally appear in the river, it is still not small. It is heavy in the hand and can be eaten.
I am afraid that someone saw fish in the rice fields, and the water in the rice fields is shallow, so fish are easy to catch, so they secretly came to catch fish!
When Shuangxi thought about this possibility, he became even more angry. This must have been done by people in the village. They live next to each other. If someone really wants to eat one of their own fish, Shuangxi won't mind giving one to him, but he doesn't make any noise.
He just caught fish and ruined his own rice field. It is really unforgivable.
Shen Ziyan's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "It seems that we will be keeping vigil from now on."
Shen Ziyan has always been gentle, and rarely gets angry a few times, but today it looks like he might be angry too.
Shuangxi glanced at the damaged rice fields and said, "Although some rice will be lost, there are still ways to remedy it."
When Shen Ziyan heard his wife say this, he quickly looked at Shuangxi, with some expectation in his eyes. However, when he saw the rice soaked in water from the corner of his eye, he couldn't believe that there was still a way to remedy it.
.
Shuangxi looked at the situation in front of him, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Remove half of the water in the rice fields. These rice grains should be able to stand up on their own."
Shen Ziyan trusted his wife very much and didn't say much. He went home and got some tools to drain the water.
Shuangxi thought to himself, fortunately he discovered it in time, otherwise he would have really lost a lot.
Now the seeds in the rice have begun to sludge. This is a critical period. You must not be careless and must work hard.
That night, the Shen family and Quanzi discussed it and took turns to watch the night. As for Dashan, his leg had not healed yet. It had been broken for a hundred days, and the fracture was not minor. In order not to leave the sequelae of Pojie, it was best to
If we raise them for a few more days, the autumn harvest will be over.
And even if he waits until he can walk a little bit on the ground, he won't be able to enter the paddy fields.
In ancient times when medical skills were underdeveloped, if there were any root causes of disease, it would probably be a lifelong matter.
Shuangxi and the Shen brothers had no objection to the fact that the Yun family could only provide one labor force and the Shen family had to pay more.
After all, Dashan was injured trying to save Shuangxi. He also gave one-third of the bear to his family. When the rice fields and the fish and shrimps in the rice fields are sold, he will definitely get a lot of money, and he will give them all.
Go to the Yun family.
Speaking of the vigil, Shuangxi became interested again. Thinking about the text he had learned when he was a child - "Moistening the Soil", he had an idea in his mind and naturally wanted to follow it and read it.
However, Shuangxi also knows that in reality, it may be much more difficult than what is written in the book, and it may not be as interesting, but she still wants to go. The reason is that she wants to know who did this!
I was afraid that the Shen family men or Quanzi would catch someone and be fooled by those people.
Although my husband and Izumi are both smart people, there is one disadvantage. In some aspects, the people in the village are still simple, and they may easily spare those who steal fish and destroy fields!
Thinking of this, Shuangxi couldn't help but think of Su Yu. If it were Su Yu, he might not be merciful to those who harmed his interests, right? Although Su Yu seemed to be a handsome young man, Shuangxi knew that Su Yu's true nature was sinister. And treacherous.
A few people have made an agreement to guard Tian. Before midnight, Shuangxi and Shen Ziyan will guard together. After midnight, Shen Yan and Quanzi will guard together. Although it is better to spread out than everyone else, each person will guard for a while and will be more tired, but they still have to stay together. .
No one can predict what will happen this late at night. If something unexpected happens, even if the other person can't help, he can still go to the village and call for help.
After dinner, when there was still a trace of sunset, Shuangxi packed up his things and went to the rice fields with Shen Ziyan.
Actually, it’s nothing. I just added a thick layer of clothing because it’s cold at night. It’s always good to wear more clothes. I also brought some homemade preserves from Shuangxi, which are made from wild apricots picked from the mountains in early spring and pickled with honey.
Wild apricots are very astringent and sour, so few people pick them for eating. However, if they are pickled with honey for a period of time, they are no longer astringent and the sourness becomes a bit more intense.
It's sour and sweet, and it will make people salivate when you eat it.
It was a long night, so Shuangxi brought a bowl of apricots and two steamed buns. Now the family is not so tight. Shuangxi broke open the two steamed buns and stuffed a piece of steamed bacon inside. People who stay up late are the most likely to get hungry. , although these things are not enough to fill the stomach, they can still fill the stomach.
Of course, Shuangxi didn't forget to pick up a cushion made from the old Shen family's old quilt.
For food and other things, Shuangxi prepared two portions. As for the store, I can just leave it when the shift changes.
Shuangxi hung a bamboo basket. Seeing this, Shen Ziyan quickly took the bamboo basket from Shuangxi's hand and picked it up himself.
The bamboo basket was very delicate, and at first glance it looked like something a woman would carry, but Shen Ziyan held it in his hand with a calm expression on his face, nothing unnatural at all.
Shuangxi looked at the man next to her and felt warm in her heart. In this era when women had little status, she met this man who doted on her so much. She was truly lucky among misfortunes! Unfortunately, she never thought of leaving her. Traveling through the world, fortunately, she also found her own happiness here.
Shuangxi was still wearing the same green clothes today. Shen Ziyan looked at the little girl in front of him with gentle eyes, knowing that Shuangxi couldn't get used to wearing the clothes left by Mr. Su, so he said softly: "Xi'er, in the market in a few days, our family will Instead of selling noodles, I will take Xi'er around the market and buy some clothes for Xi'er."
When Shuangxi heard what Shen Ziyan said, she was stunned. She could accept not selling noodles. Selling noodles was a hard job. The fields were busy at this time, and the Shen family was not as tight as before, so it was fine not to go. But buying clothes...
Shuangxi said quickly: "Ziyan, I have clothes to wear."
Shen Ziyan stopped, looked at Shuang Xi seriously and said: "Xi'er, if you follow me, I will definitely not let you suffer. Although it is not as good as those from wealthy families, I will buy more for you every season.
It can still be done with two pieces of clothing."
Shuang Xi stopped talking, knowing that what happened with Aunt An was still a little knotty in Shen Ziyan's heart.
This man was afraid that he would be wronged, but little did he know that he had already given himself the best thing he could give himself.
The two people took not the main road in the village, but the trodden path along the river behind the Shen family house. Although this road was often used by people who came to wash clothes and fetch water, it still had some tenacious vitality.
Weeds grow close to the ground.
On both sides of the road, there are some leafy weeds that can catch people's clothes at any time. Dew has already appeared at this time. If you are not careful when walking on them, your clothes and shoes will easily get wet.
However, the two of them still did not choose the main road. Walking on the main road, they would inevitably encounter acquaintances. If they walked through the middle of the village, wouldn't they be a reminder to the fish thieves? Tell them that we are going to defend the land today.
I'm afraid no one would be stupid enough to steal fish today.
This fish stealing thing is addictive, Shuangxi thought, since this person got a benefit yesterday, he will probably do it again in the next day or two.
Rather than trying to scare the people so that they dare not take action for the time being, it would be better to let this person show up early! This would also save the family members the hard work of guarding the fields in the coming days.
Because the road was narrow, Shuangxi and Shen Ziyan walked forward one behind the other.
Shuangxi could feel the steady steps behind him, and felt heartbroken for no reason. The life of the Shen family would get better and better, and everything would be fine!
When they arrived near the rice field, the two people first walked around the rice field, and finally came to a wasteland not far from the rice field. This land was higher and different from the depression here. The two people decided to walk on it first.
This is where it ends.
Although the field ridge is a good place to stay, it is too obvious. I am afraid that fish thieves can see them at a glance and then run away. How can they catch them?
On a piece of wasteland, to the north of the rice field, right next to the village, Shuangxi found a piece of bluestone among a clump of weeds, and then he and Shen Ziyan cleared the weeds in a three- to four-meter radius around the two of them.
Pull it out and clear out the area.
The plucked grass was spread out by Shuangxi on the ground that was a little scarred by the grass being pulled out. The harder wormwood was thrown aside by Shuangxi.
What's on the ground now is soft green grass, with a pleasant fragrance.
The surrounding grass is very tall, higher than half a person's height. From a distance, as long as Shuangxi and Shen Ziyan don't stand up, even with the bright moonlight, no one in the distance will notice it.
The weeds have been dug out, and there are two people hiding in the place surrounded by weeds. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is my biggest motivation.)
Peace Talisman, thank Xue Xin for the sachet~Thank you for our perseverance in love. Well, because I didn’t count the people I thanked yesterday, I’m afraid someone will be forgotten, so don’t blame me. I’ll wait for Qiong to go back and look through the records to thank them together.
