Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Two months later, on a sunny morning after the rain, Daiyu and Zhou Hang rode their horses to see Mrs. Sun and Linger, their mother and daughter.

After leaving the east city gate, as far as the eye can see, there are wilderness dotted with scattered farm houses.The torrential rain washed away the sultry heat that had been lingering for many days, bringing a long-lost freshness and coolness, with green trees and clear green trees, and the fragrance of birds and flowers.Daiyu rode her horse to a sycamore tree covered with greenery, turned her head and smiled at Zhou Hang: "Why did you drop so much?"

Zhou Hang clamped the horse's belly, galloped to Daiyu's side, and tied the bridle with her, "I like to watch you ride the horse. Do you know that once you get on the horse's back, your whole person will be different."

Daiyu turned her head to look at him, frowning slightly: "Why is it different?"

Zhou Hang: "How should I put it..." He clapped his hands, "Oh, yes, vigor, freedom, and unruly wildness!"

Daiyu frowned even tighter: "What are you talking about!"

In the ancient times when the code of ethics regulated life and paid attention to women's three obediences and four virtues, it is definitely not a good word to describe a woman as "unruly and wild".Fearing that Daiyu might misunderstand, Zhou Hang hurriedly explained: "I don't mean to belittle or look down on you, I just praise, sincere praise, I mean...you are different from all girls..."

Before Zhou Hang finished speaking, Daiyu flicked the whip and ran away. When Zhou Hang reacted, she ran out of the shooting place.

Zhou Hang hurried to catch up, and caught up at a distance of about one mile.

"Yu'er, walk slowly. Although it's just raining and the weather is cool, it's summer after all. The sun is out again, and the temperature is rising very fast. If you run like this, you're going to sweat again." Zhou Hang gasped. Breathe.

Daiyu walked forward without looking back, and said, "Don't worry about it."

Zhou Hang raised his hands to compromise: "Okay, I don't care, I don't care..."

Soon, the two arrived at Sun's village.Some villagers greeted them enthusiastically, calling them sons, and said: "Young masters should come to visit often when you have time." They also invited Daiyu to eat the fruits they had just picked.

A moment later, Daiyu held peaches in one hand and apples in the other, and a purse full of green dates was stuffed into her purse.

It is not easy for farmers to grow things, and those villagers push them to the market to sell them in small carts. She doesn't want them, and she doesn't want them.

"This, what should I do?" Daiyu held up two peaches and two apples, and looked at Zhou Hang for help, "I can't eat so many." Although the quality of these fruits is incomparable with those in the space, at least the villagers She was so kind, and she would not just throw it away and ignore it.

"And me." Zhou Hang said, "You know my appetite."

Daiyu threw the apples and peaches to Zhou Hang, and gnawed on the green dates with a smile.Each green jujube is only the size of a thumb belly, slender and long, and it is crystal clear and moist through ripeness.Although the jujubes were not red, they were very sweet and small in size, and Daiyu ate them gracefully.

On the way, Daiyu asked Zhou Hang: "Why are those villagers so enthusiastic? I don't recognize them."

Zhou Hangdao: "The folk customs in the countryside are simple, and the villagers are very hospitable. Besides, when we sent Mrs. Sun here last time, many people have seen us, but you didn't pay attention, and they still recognize us. Plus The Shangsun family lives here, so there are naturally some contacts between the neighbors, how can we not be mentioned?"

Daiyu nodded in agreement.

When she was about to reach Sun's house, Daiyu stopped suddenly, pursed her lips and sniffed, and looked at Zhou Hang with a solemn expression.

Zhou Hang's half-eaten apple fell to the ground: "You smell it too?"

Daiyu nodded: "The smell of blood is very strong, mixed with the smell of confetti and talismans."

Zhou Hang pulled Daiyu's hand and said, "Let's go!"

Following the smell until she reached Sun's courtyard, Daiyu turned her head to look at Zhou Hang: "It's strange, this is where the smell of blood is the strongest. When I came last time, it wasn't..."

Zhou Hang said: "It's not easy to know the reason, just go in." So he knocked on the door.

After knocking for a long time but no one answered, Daiyu was a little worried, maybe something happened to Sun's mother and daughter.

After a while, the door of the next yard squeaked, and the head of a little girl with a double bun and a red string stuck out from the door, looked timidly at Daiyu and Zhou Hang, and then quickly shrank back.Daiyu heard the little girl shouting inside: "Grandma, it's two men knocking on Mrs. Sun's door!"

Then came a woman's voice, accompanied by noisy and fast footsteps: "What kind of man?"

"They are two elder brothers who look like gods. They ride horses and wear nice clothes." The little girl said.

The old woman: "Tell them that your aunt Sun is not at home and has gone to the field to tend vegetables."

The little girl promised, then opened the door a crack, stuck out her head, and called, "Brothers, my grandma asked me to tell you that Aunt Sun is not coming home, she is going to tend the vegetables in the field."

Daiyu asked when she could come back, and the little girl said, "I know that. Aunt Sun often goes to the fields before dawn, brings steamed buns, and returns after dark."

Daiyu said: "Understood, little sister, thank you." I wanted to go over and touch her head, and give her a purse by the way, but when the child saw her passing, he was so scared that he immediately closed the door, not daring to show his head again.Daiyu stuffed the purse containing two silver pegs through the door, and walked with Zhou Hang to the west of the village.

She and Zhou Hang bought Sun's field together. She also went to see it at the beginning and knew how to get there.

Since Mrs. Sun can still work in the fields, it should be fine.

Fortunately, Daiyu went, otherwise Sun's life might be lost.She worked too hard and was too frugal.She is intelligent and knows how to support herself.On the outskirts of the capital, the first season of grain—wheat—is usually sown in late autumn, and soybeans and sorghum are sown after the wheat is harvested in May.When Sun took over the land, she had already missed the first season of crops. Instead of planting soybeans and sorghum like most villagers, she planted a variety of vegetables. Every market, she picked the freshest vegetables and brought them to the city. Selling, the income is much higher than growing grain.Of course, the tiredness is several times more than that. I spend almost all day tending vegetables in the field, otherwise I just pick vegetables to sell.

Due to overwork, Mrs. Sun fell ill a few days ago. She was afraid that Ling'er would be worried, so she insisted and refused to speak.In the end, she couldn't hold it anymore and fainted in the field. Ling'er was so frightened that she cried loudly, she asked someone to carry her back to the doctor and asked for medicine. She is about to mature, and Ling'er can't take care of her alone. If they all rot in the field, the efforts of the past few months will be in vain.

Ling'er couldn't resist her, so she had to agree with her to come out, saying that she would take a break after working for a while, but she refused to listen to her persuasion, and finally fainted again.

Daiyu pretended to get on the horse, but actually took out a water bag from the space, handed it to Linger and said, "Give your mother some water."

Zhou Hang looked at Daiyu and raised his eyebrows slightly, you give her spiritual spring water?

Daiyu gave him a reassuring look, relieved and diluted.

After touching half a stick of incense, Mrs. Sun woke up slowly. Seeing Daiyu and Zhou Hang, she called her benefactor and wanted to kowtow again, but Daiyu hurriedly stopped her and asked Linger to help Mrs. Sun go home first.Daiyu doesn't do it herself because she wears men's clothing, and although men and women in the countryside are not as strict as the aristocratic family, they still have to guard against it.What's more, Mrs. Sun is a widow, so rumors are most likely to spread.
