continuation [farming]

That night, Xia He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, remembering that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Then he bent down, fished it from the bottom of the bed, and pulled out the pair of obscene pants that he left there two days ago.The sticky stuff on it was completely dry, and after rubbing twice, it didn't come off, but fortunately, it didn't have any particularly pungent smell.I wanted to throw it back and go back to sleep, but after thinking about it, since Lan Niang is so afraid of exposing this matter to others, it is better to be cautious before I figure out what it is.

There is still a stranger living in the house. I don't know what time Li Yun usually gets up. If we talk about it tomorrow morning, it will not be good if we are seen.

Looking up at the sky outside, I wanted to roughly determine the time by the position of the moon, but it turned out that there were no stars and no moon this night.The sky was gloomy, and when I probed outside, I could hardly see anything.Looking at this day, I'm afraid it will rain soon.

Xia He's heart shuddered, seeing that the front and back yards were quiet, everyone must be sleeping, so let's wash it now, so as not to worry about it.

There used to be a water tank in Xia He's own yard, but when he touched the other side, the tank was empty.He could only sigh, went back to the house to make some preparations, and then went out, with a wooden basin under one arm, in which was the pair of obscene trousers, and an oil lamp in the other hand, carefully hooked the door with his foot, and opened it , Xia He slipped to the kitchen, where there was also a jar, Aunt Lin was always diligent, and would always fill it up every day, so it would be easy to use early in the next morning.

He threw the wooden basin on the ground and scooped water from the water jar.Although it was very hot in the daytime, but there was still a cool breeze pouring into the sleeves at night, Xia He rubbed his arms, thinking that it was very wise for him to put on his coat.

Xia He rubbed the obscene trousers very quickly, planning to wash them off in twos and then go back quickly.The oil lamp in front of him flickered on and off, and this scene somehow reminded him of the monsters and ghosts in the storybook.

Suddenly, footsteps came gradually.

Xia He stopped working, and looked straight at the direction where the footsteps came from.Not long after, another bean's light came on gradually.

"Who's there?" Xia He asked.

"Oh, it's younger siblings." It was a clear male voice, which Xia He was not familiar with. After a while, he remembered that this was not the Li Yun who stayed at home today.

Xia He pursed her lips and called out, "Brother Yun? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"

"It's not too late. It was the time when I was having fun with Shengxiao. How could I sleep. I suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and thought that a thief had entered, so I came here to take a look. "If it's another person, I'm afraid Xia He will stay here alone, and he will immediately avoid suspicion and leave.But Li Yun has been fooling around a lot, so he doesn't like to stick to the rules, so he just explained and stood far away from Xia He.

It was only then that Xia He remembered that she thought that there was no one living in the yard next to her, and she forgot to handle the basin when she threw it on the ground, but she forgot that Li Yun, who was staying today, was living there.He could only curl his lips.

But Li Yun was surprised: "Why do younger brothers and sisters have to wash clothes at this hour? Not to mention that our Li family is a direct descendant, and even our collateral families are not so harsh on people."

"It's nothing." Xia He said in a muffled voice, rubbed it twice, splashed the water in the basin, and hid his clothes behind him in the basin. Fortunately, the night was so dark that there were not even a single star. Li Yun must not be able to see herself clearly. It's obscene pants.

"If Li Mu bullies people..." Li Yun just finished saying this, and then denied herself, "No, even with Brother Mu's nerdy temper, he can't do such bullying things. Auntie has always been friendly, and the Lin family I haven't had much contact with her, if she is lazy..."

Being counted by Li Yun, Xia He felt a little embarrassed. She touched her nose, coughed dryly, and said, "Don't think too much, I'm just... in a hurry. I'll go to sleep right away, Brother Yun, you too." Go to sleep, tomorrow morning, don't you have to open the ancestral hall?"

Li Yun sighed, and said: "Just because the ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow, how can I sleep now?"

"Aunt Six won't blame you for anything." Xia He pouted, he didn't like Aunt Li Liu, but he had to say that this mother always cared about her son.

But Li Yun suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I do remember, my mother also said that you beat her?"

"Cough!" Xia He said, "I was drunk that day, drunk..."

"Haha, you don't have to be afraid, I know, my mother has such a temperament, few people in the village get close to her." Li Yun is generous, "If it is possible, I really want to take my mother and find someone who has no one. place, in hiding.—oh, if she will."

Xia He asked strangely: "Hiding? Aunt Six isn't very attractive, and she isn't very disgusting, so how can it be necessary?" Perhaps it was because Li Yun didn't keep the door open. In this area, I also started talking nonsense.

Li Yun shook her head and said, "I'm not hiding from the village..."

"Then who are you hiding from?" Xia He asked.

"I'm hiding..." Li Yun was about to utter the name, but immediately cut off the conversation, sneered, and said, "Who am I hiding? If he came here someday, wouldn't you see it? I reckoned, He's coming soon, and I'm afraid I'll still be kneeling with my mother in the ancestral hall. If you see a good-looking man with a knife scar on the corner of his eye one day rushing into the village, it must be that person That's right."

"Scarred? That's not disfigured, how pitiful." Xia He was quite sympathetic, and said yes.

Li Yun nodded: "Speaking of which, he is also a poor man... Bah! Why do I have the leisure to feel sorry for him? He ruined my future!"

"Why do you have no future? Brother Yun, you are not too old. If you change now, there is still time." Xia He said in relief.

"Oh, I was ambitious at the beginning, and I went for Uncle Tonghe. Then maybe your husband will be the one to help you in Beijing. Ha, maybe, he is actually my help!" Li Yun touched Chin, I can think about it happily, but I can only think about it.

Xia He felt that he was bragging, and said: "Cut, I also said that if I can go to the scientific examination, you and Li Mu can only serve as stepping stones for me."

"So ambitious!" If someone else listened to these words, I was afraid they would ridicule Xia He, but unexpectedly, Li Yun praised them greatly, giving her a thumbs up, with a sincere look.

Xia He hurriedly said: "Forget it, I don't like reading. If I get a top score in farming, I can give it a try!"

Li Yun's tone was louder than Xia He's, and said: "Haha, this Wenju was formed 300 years ago, but the Wuju was only established by the previous dynasty. Who knows, which emperor had a whim and set up another peasant Lift it!"

This time Xia He saw that Li Yun looked like a lunatic, but he thought that he didn't laugh at him just now, and Xia He didn't feel too embarrassed to laugh at him, so he could only clamp the wooden basin and said: "I have to go back, Brother Yun, you Go to bed early too."

"Hey, whatever, you should go to rest early." After Li Yun said, seeing the direction he left, she asked, "Didn't Brother Mu live in that courtyard, and you didn't live together?" Two directions Quite the opposite.

"...No." Xia He said yes, but his footsteps did not stop.

This caused Li Yun to think about it, but seeing that Xia He disappeared soon, he just thought about it for a while, and went back to sleep by himself.

When I opened my eyes the next day, it was indeed pouring rain outside.

Li Yun slept late and didn't want to get up, but Li Mu brought the coir raincoat early and waited at the door.He had no choice but to get up slowly, and under Li Mu's gaze, he said slowly, "Let's go, I'm ready for the three trials."

"But they are all family members, how can it be called three joint trials?" Li Mu said yes.

Mrs. Li didn't go that day, so she let Li Mu do it.Xia He actually wanted to follow, he didn't know where the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall was, and Xia He had never seen what it looked like inside the ancestral hall.

But Mrs. Li didn't let it go: "It's all about men, why should we join in the fun. If it wasn't for your father-in-law who went early, I wouldn't be bothered to go."

Xia He had no choice but to say "oh", feeling quite disappointed.

Li Mu comforted him and said, "I'll take you there during the Chinese New Year this year, and I will record your name on our Li family tree when the time comes."

All this fell into Li Yun's eyes, until he was about to leave the door and lost sight of Mrs. Li and Xia He who were still in the room, Li Yun came up to Li Mu and said narrowly, "It's the first time I've seen your pulse." With an affectionate look, it's different with a daughter-in-law."

Li Mu frowned and ignored Li Yun's words.

But Li Yun didn't stop her, and said: "See, you obviously like this younger brother and sister, why don't you live in the same room? I saw Xia He came out of another yard this morning." He didn't mention that he was in the kitchen last night. When I saw Xia He washing clothes outside, Li Yun was still a little self-aware. She knew that she was a loafer and didn't have a good reputation. It is inevitable that Xia He will have bumps on his head.

Li Mu's face froze, but he didn't want to mention Xia He's hidden illness. Suddenly, he remembered the excuse Aunt Lin gave him spontaneously, which was very useful: "Qiuyue left, and it hasn't been a year yet..."

Li Yun disagreed and said: "Since the heart is on it, what's the matter with living together. People are gone, after all, they are gone, so it is not important for living people. People, you must have fun in time."

Li Mu frowned and said, "It's only a year."

"One year is long enough, who knows what you will encounter in the next moment? For example, a galloping horse, the rider doesn't know what modesty is, and bumps into you?"

Li Yun was just talking nonsense, but he never expected that suddenly the sound of neighing could be heard behind the two of them.Then there was the sound of horseshoes. When Li Mu was still hesitating, Li Yun dragged him to hide under the eaves. Fortunately, the two of them were only splashed by the rising rain.

Li Yun patted her chest: "Hey, where did the horse come from in this small village! There is a donkey from a wealthy family..."

Li Mu glanced at Li Yun, and said: "Since we are all fine, let's go, don't make the elders wait."
