Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang huddled behind Baoqi, but felt his back was cold and his body was trembling slightly. Seeing Baoqi, who in his mind was mighty like a god in heaven, had trembling hands, he was even more frightened now, but when Baoqi When holding an arrow in front of him and facing danger, he still felt inexplicably safe, no longer trembling, and turned to look at Zhang Daquan.

But he saw Zhang Daquan lighting his pipe calmly and taking a few puffs.That kind of composure and composure immediately reassured the two young men who were sweating from nervousness.

Pippi was not afraid, the hair on his neck stood up, watching the pack of wolves.

Zhang Daquan took another puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't be nervous, all beasts are afraid of fire."

Ting Shuang no longer trembled. How could he have forgotten that when human ancestors lived in caves, they relied on fire to drive away wild animals. Looking at the large pile of firewood that had been prepared, it was enough for one night. The old hunter is really experienced.

"Little Treasure, hold the arrow well and don't shoot it lightly." Zhang Daquan let out a puff of smoke leisurely, "As long as you have a weapon in your hand, especially when there is fire, wild beasts generally dare not take the initiative to attack."

"Wolves are not scary. When you meet them, you must be calm, don't be afraid, and don't run away." Zhang Daquan has spent half his life hunting in the mountains and forests. He has rich experience and is calm when encountering danger.Tell them stories from the past.

"A few years ago, I encountered wolves on the grassland. There were more than 50 wolves in a large group. Fortunately, it was daytime and there were no trees around. It is useless to have a weapon, and it is impossible for me to fight so many wolves by myself. Although I am riding a horse, I can't run away from these wolves. At that time, my hair was standing on end, and my spine was full of cold sweat."

"Then what do you do?" Ting Shuang asked worriedly.

"You have to remember that when you encounter a beast, you must not run away, especially when you encounter a wolf, you must be calm. At that time, if I ran, the wolf would pounce on me. The more you ran, the more it chased me. Humans can’t outrun wolves, so I reined in the horse and controlled it to walk instead of run.”

"and then?"

"Maybe the pack of wolves were already full and didn't rush over. They followed me all the time."

"Ah, they have been following you." Ting Shuang exclaimed.

"My horse was covered in sweat and its hair was soaked, and I was also covered in cold sweat. I strangled the reins tightly and pinched the horse's belly. We walked for about two miles surrounded by wolves, and finally came to a grassland. There was a group of Deer, the leading wolf ran towards the herd, and the rest of the wolves followed him, and when they had all passed, I quickly drove my horse and ran, and I was finally out of danger."

Ting Shuang's mouth and eyes are wide open. This story is really thrilling. It is entirely because of the protagonist's strong psychological quality that he escapes from danger.

The wolves are close at hand, you can hear their panting, scratching the ground with their claws, and you can even see their white teeth gleaming coldly, as if they are about to pounce on them to launch a fatal blow at any time, which is very embarrassing.

After listening to the story, Ting Shuang and Baoqi felt less fear in their hearts.The fire was burning hot, and the wolves formed a circle, not daring to approach.After a while, the leading wolf raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and let out a long howl at the moon. Then, all the wolves in the circle pointed their noses at the sky and howled in response. Zhang Daquan took Baoqi's hands bow and arrow, and said: "Go to sleep, I will watch at night, and they will leave at dawn."

How could Ting Shuang and Baoqi fall asleep amidst the howling of wolves.Mental qualities as strong as the old hunter Zhang Daquan are okay, but they don't have this ability.

Zhang Daquan put the arrow on the bow and pointed at the pack of wolves, without showing any weakness, he looked at the nearest wolf, and engaged in an invisible confrontation with the eyes of the wild wolf.

Ting Shuang admired her to death. At first he compared Baoqi's and Zhang Daquan's arrow skills in his heart, but now he understands that no matter how well practiced the arrow skills are, even if he can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps, even if he can shoot Xiangtou one mile away, but Without a strong psychological quality as a guarantee, he is only a rookie, like Zhang Daquan who has been trained through life and death, and who dares to look at the beast, can really be called a magic arrow.

Even Bao Qi, who has always been extremely arrogant, was convinced and accepted her arrogance.

At this time, a very imposing tiger roar was heard, like thunder, and the whole mountain forest trembled.The wolves became restless.Ting Shuang's heart was pounding, and he said, "Could it be possible to see a battle between wild wolves and tigers tonight?"

Although wild wolves are ruthless, tigers are the king of the mountain, but a good tiger can't hold back a pack of wolves, and it's hard to know who will suffer in a fight.Darling, if you have a video camera to record this exciting scene, you can't make a fortune selling it to a TV station.

Zhang Daquan said with a smile: "Ordinary wolves will hide away as long as they smell the tiger's dung, and they will retreat when they hear the roar of the tiger. They have no chance to confront each other."

The wild wolves confronted the people in the tent for a while, afraid of the fire and human weapons, they never dared to attack, and then heard the majestic howling of the tiger, probably knowing that they couldn't please them, so they finally dispersed.

Ting Shuang relaxed, her legs softened and she sat on the floor unable to get up, her underwear was wet with cold sweat.I was on the verge of life and death, and I still feel scared when I think about it now.Baoqi wrapped his warm arms around his back and patted him gently, silently conveying a sense of security, and soon, his eyelids became heavy.

When Tingshuang woke up, the sky was already bright, the sun rose in the east, the warm sunlight shone on the forest, and the dead leaves reflected a little bit of golden light.The wolves had receded, as if nothing had happened, leaving only a mess of footprints.

"Let's go to the trap and see what we can get." Zhang Daquan took Ting Shuang to the trap, leaving Baoqi to watch the fire and make breakfast.

Ting Shuang stuck out her tongue, and after a night of panic, the old hunter hadn't forgotten the trap, and he would have run away long ago.

There were actually two fat hares with plump fur in the pit.The harvest from another pit was even greater. A gazelle was caught, and Ting Shuang swallowed, as if seeing a delicious roast leg of lamb.

"This time I didn't hunt foxes and deer, but I hunted a wolf and gazelle. The harvest is not bad. Let's go back and kill a wolf. I'm afraid that the wolves will not give up. It will be troublesome if we take revenge. "

Ting Shuang and Baoqi naturally listened to the old hunter. They put the shot wolves, the yellow sheep, tents, and small iron pots on horseback, and then carried pheasants, hares, and quilts on their backs. Excitedly rush down the mountain.

After this autumn hunting, the three hunters all gained good results, but Bao Qi gained the most. This experience made him understand what a real magic arrow is, not to hit a fragrant head a hundred steps away, but to face Dangers that can kill people, without trembling hands or legs, calm as a mountain, and hitting the target, if you do this, you are a veritable archer.

Bao Qi asked Zhang how to practice the superb arrow technique, Zhang Daquan only said: "Practicing arrows is easy, but the hard part is training the mind."

Baoqi listened thoughtfully, not being exposed to wind and rain, not going through hardships and dangers, but only in the luxurious and comfortable swan field where the considerate service is, it is impossible to practice good archery.Really good arrows can only be practiced at the critical moment of life and death.

This kind of harvest is enough for him to benefit for a lifetime.

Ting Shuang's harvest is not small. It turns out that exciting and fun things also contain danger and hardship. Everything has two sides.Of course, the fat leg of lamb is not a small gain, and the more I look at the pair of beautiful pheasants at home, the happier I am.

At this time, there was not much work in the field. After the frost, the land was bleak, and even the most cold-resistant onions did not grow.

"Frost's fall can't afford onions, and the longer they grow, the more empty they will be." At this time, we have to quickly pick up onions, put cabbage and radishes into the cellar, and fish and pick lotus root to cut pampas grass. The autumn harvest is in the final stage. The pond is not big, and there is not much work. Besides doing my own work, I also help Aunt Zhou's house collect persimmons. There are about ten persimmon trees in her yard, and in late autumn, they are full of fruits like small lanterns.

Jingshuang’s persimmons are very sweet. Ting Shuang ate three of them at once and still wanted to eat them. Aunt Zhou told him that eating too many persimmons tends to “grow chunks”. Ting Shuang thought about it for a long time. Stones, so I had to stop eating and help dry persimmons.

The dried persimmons are covered with a layer of faint hoarfrost, which is gratifying to look at.

Seeing that there was not much work at home, Ting Shuang started the action that had been planned long ago, which was to renovate the house.

In order to show off and prepare for his retirement, Father Meng enlarged the yard of his ancestral house several times. The walls are made of wheat fish roe at the foot of the cobblestone wall and plastered with plaster, which is very strong and elegant.The main rooms and wing rooms are all tall and bright brick houses. The cowsheds, stables, pigsty, chicken coops, firewood houses and warehouses are very complete.It's a pity that the most basic and necessary facilities are missing, that is, toilets and bathrooms.

This is very unaccustomed to Ting Shuang, who is used to modern flush toilets. He used to have maids to serve him, so he didn't worry about it. Later, after the family collapsed, this problem became a big problem. He had no money and no time before, and he was not in the mood to deal with it. , now that he has more money and is not busy with farm work, he began to think about this issue that is urgently related to people's livelihood.

There are no special toilets in the countryside, and the toilets are all connected to the pigsty. It can be solved by digging a hole and building two wooden boards.In the cold weather of March and September, people are afraid of the cold and do not go out, and even urinate in the house, and then call the dog to come in to clean up after pulling it on the kang, so there is a saying "Three nine, four, call the dog at the door".

Of course there is no toilet paper, either scraped with wood chips or wiped with leaves.Ting Shuang couldn't stand these things, and there was no maid to cut soft and thin paper for him. He either used Ting Zhi's waste writing paper, or used rags brought back from the city to wash and wash. Had to make do with leaves.

The most urgent task now is to renovate the toilet.Dig a deep cesspit next to the pigsty, surround it with a wall, put up a solid plank, and build a sloping slab with stone slabs underneath, which can slide down after unloading, without too much smell, and the cesspit can be sprinkled with soil layer by layer Retting into manure.In the cold winter of March and September, I used the toilet, and like the rich people in the city, put fine wood ash in it, so it didn't smell bad.

Country people seldom take a bath. In summer, a group of people wash in the river like dumplings. In winter, they seldom take a bath.There is no such thing as a bathroom in the farmhouse, and I have never even heard of it.

Ting Shuang felt very inconvenient about not having a bathroom. Although there was no pollution dust in ancient times and the air was clean, taking a hot bath can relieve fatigue and promote metabolism, right?

So he built a small bathroom next to the kitchen, several square meters in size, and built a narrow kang to communicate with the stove in the kitchen, so that it would not be too cold to take a bath in winter.I also made a pulley, and asked someone to make a water tank, which can be hung up, and the shower can be taken by turning on the switch.The ground was raised again, and water channels were dug, so that the water could be drained directly to the drainage ditch.

The family members looked at such a weird bathing device curiously, and the villagers also came to visit and were amazed, but they didn't take it seriously, thinking it was poor and elegant, but Baoqi Tinghui was still very excited.

After repairing the basic living facilities, Ting Shuang started working on the kitchen again. Previously, the three rooms in the East Wing were used as kitchens, one for cooking, and two for food storage. Now I bought a few pickled vegetables to make pulp and put them in large vats for white noodles.In addition to the original two stoves, another stove was repaired to connect the bathroom, and another wind stove was added to make it easier to move in and out. When Uncle Zhou came home from the city, he asked him to make several wooden shelves. There are several layers of shelves nailed, so that household items can be neatly arranged.

Looking at the renovated toilet, bathroom and kitchen, Ting Shuang felt that this really looked like a home, not luxurious or rich, but warm and comfortable.Le Zizi was the first to go into the bathroom to take a shower, she felt so comfortable, and felt that the musty smell on her body was washed away.

Bao Qi leaned against the door of the bathroom, watching his face flushed red by the steam, with drops of water like freshly picked apples with dew, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "You always say that a peasant who is rich is not desirable, you now The appearance is also a very satisfied look."

"Who says I'm satisfied? I still want to earn more money, marry a beautiful wife for my younger brothers, and make the villagers rich, so that I don't have to worry about food all day long and end up dying for a few days during the Spring Festival."

"The ambition is very lofty." Baoqi looked at him with bright eyes, "These are all things for the future. Is there anything you want to do now?"

Ting Shuang thought for a while and said, "I want to ask Mr. Shi now why the third child has been away for so long. Didn't he say that he will come back after more than half a month? Now that it's over, what happened? ?”

Baoqi's face collapsed: "Don't you want someone to wipe your back for you?"

"Oh...that makes sense." Ting Shuang opened her mouth and shouted, "Peace..."

"You don't need to call someone else, I'll wipe it for you." Before he could speak, Baoqi rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, took a cloth towel and wiped it for him.Rub your back and rub your shoulders vigorously, and finally go down slowly...

Well, although I work every day, my skin is still firm and delicate, and it feels really good.

Ting Shuang felt very comfortable, but after a while there was a reaction from below, she turned her back in embarrassment, and said, "Okay."

Baoqi immediately said, "You're all right, it's time for me to wash up." As she said that, she took off her clothes a few times, revealing her robust body, and the two faced each other naked.

A black line appeared on Ting Shuang's forehead, and I said "Okay", which means that you don't need to wipe it anymore and you can go out. It's not that you are asked to take off your clothes, because you have a low IQ or a low IQ.
