Carrying a Hoe to Cultivate

This time, Gu Wenzhu gave Xia Yi a look of embarrassment for several days.He didn't say a word to him, as if Xia Yi didn't exist in his eyes.When calling him to eat, he didn't call out his name, just said two words in a rough voice: "Eat."

At home is like a tower of silence.

Xia Yi lived in fear, not even daring to open his mouth to eat.She coveted Gu Wenzhu blindly, rushing to sweep the floor and plaster, for fear that an accident would annoy him: Not only are you evil-minded, you are so good at eating that everyone is eaten up by you, so get out of here!

So Xia Yi only ate half full every meal, and was so hungry that he panicked in the middle of the night, so he secretly went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"179, scan it to see if Gu Wenzhu is asleep?"

System: "Sleeping."

I tiptoed to the kitchen and started looking through the food.When I touched the pot in the dark, there was a bang, and I didn't dare to move it immediately.

"179, is Gu Wenzhu awake yet?"

System: "Woke up, but he just looked up at the kitchen and fell asleep again."

"I was brutally abused by the family, I was so miserable."

System: "Stop talking, let's eat first."

I go to look for food every night, but fortunately I can find some more or less every night, at least I fooled my stomach.

......

During this time, Xia Yi went to see his portion of potatoes every day.Coupled with the one-sided cold war between Gu Wenzhu and him, the air in the house seemed to be frozen.So except for sleeping and eating, he spent the rest of his time soaking in the field.

Gradually, the whole village knew that Gu Wenzhu's stepmother's nephew was fleeing famine.Because I used to be hungry and scared, now I finally got a share of potatoes, and I watch them every day, my eyes will glow green, I wish I could just sleep in the field, it’s really pitiful to watch.

Because of this, Xia Yi quickly became acquainted with the whole village full of sympathy.

"Xiao Yi, are you going to see Tudou again?"

"Yes, Fourth Aunt, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Xiao Yi, I've looked over your potatoes for you, but they haven't sprouted yet."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

"An...an...bean...bean...an...soil"

"Sister Wang, Eggy Baby can talk now."

......

Xia Yi squatted on the ridge of the field with a sad face.It has been so many days, and the ground is still the same, there is not a single seedling, and these seedlings will not all die in the soil.

At night, he tossed and turned in bed, sat up suddenly, put on his coat and shoes, and went out.

System: "Where are you going, host?"

Xia Yi: "I have to go and see my place, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

System: "Didn't you just go to see it in the morning?"

Xia Yi: "No wonder I think about it so much, I haven't seen it for an afternoon."

system:......

Xia Yi stepped onto the field ridge that was so familiar that he could walk with his eyes closed, and walked all the way to his own land.

The moonlight was like water, and from a distance, he saw a hunched figure in his field at a glance.

Xia Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he said in shock, "179, scan quickly, who is in my field and what is he doing?" His eyes also started to move around the ground, looking for sticks and rocks. "

"Fuck, if he wants to harm my potato, I will kill him."

System: "Host, don't panic, that's Gu Wenzhu, loosening the soil for your potato fields."

Xia Yi was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in his tracks and looked carefully.Gu Wenzhu's figure could be seen squatting in the gully in the field, moving little by little, loosening the soil for each potato pit little by little.

Xia Yi suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the grievance and boredom that Gu Wenzhu had neglected these days also dissipated unknowingly.

"179, I think it's great that Gu Wen chases people."

"I don't want to have a cold war with him."

Gu Wen returned home after loosening the soil in the field, and as soon as he entered the yard, he looked at Xia Yi's bedroom.Through the window, the room was dark, and Xia Yi had obviously fallen asleep.He was about to go to the corner of the courtyard to fetch water to wash up, but when he turned around, he saw a row of dripping clothes hanging on the clothesline, which was the unwashed clothes he changed today.

There was also a pair of obscene trousers hanging on the rope, fluttering wetly in the wind.

Gu Wenzhu stood there in a daze for a moment.After a while, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and continued walking to the well.

. . . . . .

Two days after Gu Wenzhu loosened the soil that night, the potatoes sprouted.The newly unearthed seedlings stretch out in the sun, delicate and fresh.Xia Yi stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the tender green shoots there, feeling indescribably happy in his heart.

The villagers passing by with hoes also noticed the tender greenery.

"Xiao Yi, your potatoes have finally sprouted."

"Yes, Uncle Wang, good morning today."

"Oh, it's not easy, Xiao Yi finally guarded until the seedlings emerged."

"Where, don't worry, the seedlings will emerge anyway. Is Aunt Li ready for breakfast?"

Xia Yi greeted the villagers unhurriedly, very politely.With a shallow smile on his face, he looked very calm.

"179,179, the seedlings have finally emerged, hahahahaha, the seedlings have emerged, hahahaha"

"Hahaha the seedlings have emerged, hahahahaha."

"179, I really want to roll on the ground a few times."

"179, I want to run a few laps on these ridges."

system:......

The weather is getting hotter, and the longer the potato seedlings, the better. The green fields are very gratifying.Xia Yi went to inspect several times a day, catching insects and watering them, squatting on the ridge of the field chatting with 179, discussing the growth of the young seedlings, which was very exciting.

Seeing that the harvest will be ready in two months, Xia Yi is extremely yearning for it.When the first task is completed, it will be one step closer to leaving this ghost world as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of this day, Xia Yi and Gu Wenzhu were sitting in the shade of a tree in the courtyard eating.Since the weather got hot, they moved the dining table from the kitchen to the yard, which is bright and cool.

Slowly, a dark cloud floated over and stopped on the top of the small courtyard, and the sky gradually dimmed.Then, with several flashes of lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down.

Gu Wenzhu hurriedly brought the dining table to the corridor.

The sky and the earth were getting darker, and the rain was already mixed with hail the size of rice grains, crackling and beating all over the courtyard.

Xia Yi groaned inwardly, thinking of his potato patch.Can't help but put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood by the corridor and looked up anxiously at the sky.

"179, I'm a little worried about my potato seedlings, can you scan them?"

"Host, the potato seedlings are safe at present, and the hail is not enough to pose a danger."

The hailstones gradually grew larger, like pigeon eggs, and fell down with the torrential rain, and quickly formed a thick layer on the ground.The tiles above the head could be heard cracking, and the leaves and branches in the yard fell all over the ground.

"179, scan the potato seedlings again." Xia Yi rubbed his hands and walked around under the eaves, anxious.

"Host, potato seedlings are a little dangerous. Although potatoes are hail-resistant crops, the hail is too big."

"No, I have to go and see my little Miaoer." Xia Yi stopped pacing back and forth, "I have to go to the nearby forest to pick some banana leaves to block it."

"Host, no matter how important the task is, it's not as important as your safety." At the critical moment, 179 was still calmer than Xia Yi.

"I can't control that much anymore. If this mission fails, how can I go home." Quickly looking for a wooden basin to wash his face, Xia Yi looked up at the gloomy sky, gritted his teeth, and rushed out with the wooden basin on his head.

"Where are you going?" Gu Wenzhu shouted from behind.

Xia Yi replied while running: "I want to see my potato seedlings."

Gu Wenzhu roared angrily: "You don't want to die? You are still thinking about potato seedlings at this time."

Xia Yi didn't bother to reply, but ran towards the potato field in a hurry with the wooden basin on his head.The hailstone made the wooden basin above the head thump and thump, which made one's heart tremble.

"My little Miao'er, you must hold on, Dad is coming, and Dad is going to cover the banana leaves for you."

"Ah!" With a short scream, Xia Yi slipped and fell heavily.The wooden basin in his hand also took off, and Gululu rolled aside.

The hailstone hit him like a bullet, and he quickly put his head in his hands and looked around for the wooden basin.My back and shoulders were in excruciating pain from the blow, but I couldn't care less about it right now, I just wanted to get up and go to the field quickly.As soon as he stood up, there was a sharp pain in his ankle, and he sat down again.

My ankle is sprained.

Xia Yi sat awkwardly in the hailstone, half-closed his eyes and touched the wooden basin beside him on his head, struggling to stand up.

At this time, a figure stopped in front of Xia Yi.As his eyes darkened, he was covered by a thick coir raincoat, and the pain from the hailstones hit his body immediately.

It was Gu Wenzhu who came.

Gu Wen picked him up one by one and hugged him in his arms, and ran quickly towards the house.When running, he bent slightly and used his upper body to shield him from the hail.

Kicking open the half-open courtyard door, Gu Wenzhu quickly carried Xia Yi into the house.After putting him on the bamboo couch and lying down, Gu Wenzhu squatted down and asked, "Did you break it?"

Xia Yi lay on the bamboo couch, feeling pain all over his body, but no matter how painful his body was, it couldn't match the sadness of being destroyed.Turning her head away from him, she choked up and said, "My little Miaoer."

Gu Wen paused one by one, and then he was puzzled and said: "Just a bed of potatoes, how can it be so valuable? If you smash it, just smash it. If you smash it, I will just supply it to you."

Xia Yi hummed in a nasal voice: "You don't understand, I want my little seedlings, they are very important to me."

After finishing speaking, he turned sideways, didn't want to talk anymore, secretly sad.

Thinking about coming to this strange world for no reason, I have been suppressing the fear of my brother's identity and working hard to go home.I finally had some hope, but a hailstorm smashed all my expectations these days.

Xia Yibei came from it, tears finally couldn't help flowing out, he wiped it secretly, not wanting to be seen by Gu Wenzhu.

After a while, Xia Yi heard a rustling sound behind him.Turning his face to look, Gu Wenzhu was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and dragged a few old bamboo mats taken out of the utility room, rolled them up under his arms, and made a gesture to go out.

"Where are you going? There is so much hail outside." Xia Yi propped up his upper body, looking at Gu Wenzhu with hazy eyes.

"I'll save your little Miaoer." Gu Wenzhu glanced at him, turned around and rushed into the hailstorm.

"Don't! Don't go!" Xia Yi hurriedly stopped him, but Gu Wenzhu had already reached the gate of the courtyard quickly, opened the gate and ran out.
