The life of farming in ancient times with a system

Chapter 133 The Beet Field Was Stolen

There was a child poking around outside.He was wearing shabby clothes, sucking with his index finger in his mouth, looking inside with longing eyes.After watching for a long time, he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and he looked disappointed as if he was about to cry.

"Whose child is that?" Someone saw it and pointed to the child.

"It's Xiaoyue'er."

The person who recognized Lin Yue ran to Brother Yuan, who was talking to Lin Shen.After the man whispered in his ear, Brother Yuan's face changed immediately, and he turned back to the house.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaoke ran out of the house wearing a wedding dress.

As soon as Lin Yue's eyes lit up, she immediately pounced on her and softly called, "Ah, ah..."

Zhang Xiaoke's heart was sore, and she hugged the child tightly.

Brother Yuan said honestly, "Go inside and eat."

Zhang Xiaoke brought the children in, and everyone looked at them with kind eyes.

"There are still dishes in the kitchen, go and serve some for the children."

Someone handed Brother Yuan a clean bowl.Brother Yuan took it with a grateful face, and went to the kitchen to fill a big bowl of vegetables.

Jiang Daizhen said thoughtfully: "Zhang Xiaoke is back here again, does it have something to do with the child?"

"En." Lin Shen held his hand, without saying anything.

After sitting for a while, Lin Shen and Jiang Daizhen planned to leave.

At this moment, Lin He walked in with a gloomy face.

"Where are my children?"

he asked out loud.

No one answered him, and someone subconsciously looked into the room.

Lin He rushed into the house without saying a word, and dragged a child out after a while.The child was dragged on the ground, holding the thin hand bowl in Lin He's hand, kicking his legs backwards, with a piece of meat in his mouth, crying loudly.

"Oh, I won't go, I won't go."

"Ah, help me!"

Lin He didn't hold back for a while, and the child broke free.The child turned around and ran back, but was grabbed by Lin He, and he slapped him with his big hand.It may be that it touched the child's nose, and the child immediately had a nosebleed.

The adults watched helplessly, and suddenly became angry.

"How to beat a child?"

"Can't fight, he's still so young."

Lin He puffed up his chest and said, "My child, I can beat you if I want, don't meddle in your own business."

He raised his hand and wanted to hit the child, but Zhang Xiaoke ran out barefoot, with disheveled hair like a male ghost, holding a jar to fight Lin He desperately.

"Who told you to beat the child? Why don't you die, you scumbag?"

Lin He's complexion changed drastically. Seeing Zhang Xiaoke like this, he was frightened out of his wits.Zhang Xiaoke's remaining prestige is still there, and he trembles when he sees Zhang Xiaoke.Seeing Zhang Xiaoke throwing an object at him, he didn't even have the thought of resisting, and ran away in fright.

It happened so suddenly that neither Lin Shen nor Jiang Daizhen could react.Seeing that the child had a nosebleed, Lin Shen asked Jiang Daizhen to stand beside him so as not to be bumped into.He got up and walked over there, intending to pull Lin He away.There were too many spectators, and he would not be able to squeeze in for a while, and then Lin He was chased and beaten by Zhang Xiaoke.

The child was still bleeding from the nose. Brother Yuan covered the child's nose with one hand, and the nosebleed dripped down.Lin Shen squeezed inside, carried the child to the kitchen, and slapped the child on the forehead with cold water.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

While moving, he also comforted the child.

It took a long time before the child's nosebleed stopped.

The pursuit battle between Zhang Xiaoke and Lin He also had a result.

Lin He went up to the courtyard wall, while Zhang Xiaoke scolded from below.

Jiang Daizhen walked over to Zhang Xiaoke and said, "Aren't you going to see the child?"

Tired of scolding, Zhang Xiaoke pointed at Lin He and said, "Go away, once I see you, I'll hit you once, try it if you don't believe me."

Just as Lin He jumped off the courtyard wall, Lin Shen grabbed him by the collar.

Lin He squinted his eyes and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Since Lin Shen drove him out of the shed, he never spoke to Lin Shen again, nor did he let Qing Ming talk to Jiang Daizhen.

Seeing Lin Shen now, the hatred in Lin He's heart has not subsided, and he picks his nose and eyes.

"Talk to you." Lin Shen dragged Lin He outside.

In just a few words, the two started fighting.Lin He was as thin as a stick, and he was not Lin Shen's opponent at all. He was knocked to the ground by Lin Shen's three punches.

Jiang Daizhen didn't know about this, and he was still comforting the frightened child.The child's face was swollen and two teeth were knocked out.Seeing Ah Mo crying so sadly, he sensibly held back two tears, and in turn comforted Zhang Xiaoke: "Ah Mo won't cry."

After speaking, he stretched out his little hand to wipe Zhang Xiaoke's tears.

Zhang Xiaoke hugged the child, said with red eyes, "I'll show you a joke."

Jiang Daizhen said: "Actually, I admire you very much. There are not many people with courage like you."

Zhang Xiaoke said: "I was also forced to this point..."

Just as they were talking, someone stuck his head out and said to them, "Lin Shen and Lin He are fighting."

Jiang Dai was really surprised, and went outside under the leadership of enthusiastic people.

At this moment, the spectators were startled, and Jiang Daizhen looked up.

Qingming hugged Lin Shen's waist, not letting Lin Shen look for Lin He again, Lin Shen froze there.The eyes of the people around are very strange, looking at them is like looking at monkeys in a zoo.

Lin Shen frowned and struggled, "Let him go, I won't beat him anymore."

"Really?" Qing Ming said pitifully.

His head was facing the back of Lin Shen's neck, and the breath blowing on his skin made Lin Shen feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Really." With a calm expression, Lin Shen broke Qing Ming's wrist with force.Others don't know, only he knows how much effort he has exerted.Qingming tussled with him for a while, and found that Lin Shen was stronger than him, and he could no longer hold Lin Shen openly, so he decisively let go of both hands.

Lin He stood up with a bruised nose and a swollen face, pulled Qingming to his side with his backhand, and said righteously, "Stay away from my wife."

Qingming leaned against Lin He pitifully.

Seeing Lin Shen looking over, he licked the corner of his mouth quietly.

Back home, when Jiang Daizhen asked, Lin Shen was obviously flustered.

"He came over suddenly and immediately hugged me. I was talking to my second brother, so I didn't guard against him." Lin Shen said.

"Then why are you panicking?" Jiang Daizhen narrowed his eyes.

"I'm afraid you misunderstood." Lin Shen touched his nose and said.

"Besides these, what else do you want to tell me?" Jiang Daizhen asked.

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "He hugged him very hard, and I took a lot of effort to break his hand. No one knows except me and him."

"Is he trying to seduce you?" Jiang Daizhen said.

"Probably not?" Lin Shen hesitated.

Jiang Daizhen sneered disdainfully: "The fox's tail will always be exposed."

Lin Shen couldn't help but shuddered, feeling that Jiang Dai was really planning something.

Jiang Daizhen glanced at him and said, "Stay away from him, don't let me see you flirting with him."

"I don't pay any attention to him." Lin Shen quickly expressed his attitude, putting his hands on his knees, sitting in a very well-behaved posture.

Jiang Daizhen called Xiaotao over, not knowing what he said to Xiaotao, Xiaotao turned and left.

Lin Shen asked, "What did you let Xiaotao do?"

"I asked him to go to Luo Feng to inquire about something." Jiang Daizhen said lightly.

This year, Lin Shen planted several acres of rice.He asked the system for the seeds, and it took a long time with this stingy system to get seeds for a few acres of land.In addition, he also managed to get some tadpoles to scatter in the paddy field.

People in the village felt strange when they saw it. Other families wished that the rice fields were clean, but Lin Shen did the opposite.

Lin Shen said: "You can also grow things in the paddy fields, such as fish and loaches. I put some tadpoles in it, and they will turn into frogs after a while. Frogs can get rid of pests."

The others saw it and did as he said.

Lin Shen also thought of a way, bought some loach and fish from others, and put them in the paddy field together.The rice field is not far from home, and he and the old carpenter would go there several times a day to look at it, in case some people with dirty hands and feet and delicious food went down to catch the fish fry.

Just like last year, he planted several acres of watermelons, and they were seedless watermelons.Lin Bing and Lin He's family also planted watermelons. The two planted watermelons with seeds, and the seeds were given by Lin Shen himself.

After working for more than ten days, Lin Shen also planted beets.Growing beets is easy to think, but not so simple to do.The land must be plowed carefully, and the fertilizer must be kept up.Then make the soil into furrows and sprinkle the seeds on it.

Lin Shen: "I don't think those fields are fertile. I'm afraid the field vegetables won't grow. Do you have any fertilizer there?"

System: "What kind of fertilizer do you want?"

"Compound fertilizer." Lin Shen said.

After asking for several bags of fertilizer, Lin Shen carefully sprinkled them on the ground.After a rain, the beet sprouts sprouted in the field.

Lin Shen's every move was watched by others.

The peanuts and watermelons that Lin Shen had grown before made a lot of money, and the beets he planted this time were no exception.Lin Shen came to see how the beet planting was doing, and he could always meet villagers wandering in the field.

When Lin Shen came over, they immediately surrounded him.Someone asked politely, "Gong Lin, what do you grow in your field?"

"Beets." Lin Shen said.

Hearing that they are growing vegetables, these people have strange expressions on their faces.

"If it's just for food, it's fine to grow some food in your own vegetable garden. It's too wasteful for you to plant so many at once."

"How to eat?" Someone asked again.

"It's the same as eating vegetables. Wash them, cut them into shreds or cubes, and fry them with oil. In addition, beets can also be fed to pigs," Lin Shen said.

"You planted so much just to feed the pigs?" These people were shocked, looking at Lin Shen as if they were looking at a psychopath.

"There are other uses of beets, which can be used to make white sugar." Lin Shen said.

Everyone was excited: "Can you make sugar?"

Lin Shen said modestly: "I just try, it may not work."

Anyone who knows Lin Shen knows that as long as Lin Shen dares to do it, he is [-]-[-]% sure.

Someone asked impatiently how to make sugar, and the person was slapped just after he finished speaking.The man looked up, and the person who was close to him gave him a reproachful look, and said in a low voice, "Can such a confidential species tell you?"

Only then did the man come to his senses, and suddenly said, "That's true."

Who wants to tell others about their fortune-making tricks.

Lin Shen caught several piglets and built pigpens specially for them.

Several chubby piglets, some were so tired that they rested on the ground, and some moved around whimpering and sniffing with their mouths.

Jiang Daizhen brought Xiaotao and Jiang Ya over to see Xiaozhu.

He lay on the fence and looked at it for a long time, and then said with a look of disgust: "They stink."

"Pigs, eat and sleep every day, eat, drink and scatter in it." Xiaotao said.

Jiang Ya came over with a large wooden bucket, which contained boiled sweet potato skins and so on.

Xiaotao said in surprise, "It's so heavy, why didn't you call me, let me lift it for you?"

He hastened to meet them.

Jiang Ya waved his hand and said: "I don't need your help, I can do it by myself. I often do this kind of rough work at home. Although I was thin at that time, I was much stronger than you. After giving birth, I didn't have much strength either. Smaller and stronger than before."

Before Xiaotao could take over, Jiang Ya lifted the barrel to the side of the pigsty.

Next, he poured some bran off the wheat into it, and stirred it evenly with a wooden stick.After the heat dissipated, he opened the door of the pigsty and poured the food into the trough.

The little pig lying on the ground immediately stood up, bumped away from its companion and ran to the trough, and started to eat wildly with its pink and tender mouth open.

A few little pigs are scrambling to eat food, with short tails flicking, looking very cute.

It seems that he was carrying it around, very relaxed, Jiang Daizhen and Xiaotao looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

"You are too powerful." Jiang Daizhen said.

Jiang Ya came out with an empty bucket, and was embarrassed by the praise, and said shyly, "Why, I often do it at home, and my strength has been cultivated since I was a child."

Xiaotao said sourly, "Did you hear that? If I practiced since childhood, I might be better than him now."

"Some things require talent. Jiang Ya can knit sweaters, can you?" Jiang Daizhen said.

Xiaotao choked, and said unconvinced: "That's because I haven't practiced for a long time. If I practice more, maybe I will be able to."

"Forget it, I saw the things you knit. I said that socks are not like socks, and that gloves are not like gloves." Jiang Daizhen said.

Xiao Tao was so shocked that she couldn't lift her head, she looked at Jiang Ya pitifully.

Jiang Ya spoke for Xiaotao: "Xiaotao's learning ability is still strong, it's only a matter of time before he learns to knit sweaters."

Xiaotao glanced at him gratefully.

Jiang Daizhen couldn't help but said: "I'm just kidding, I think it makes you nervous."

He said to Jiang Ya again: "You work hard, and you should also pay attention to your body."

"Just these few pigs, I won't be tired." Jiang Ya said.

Lin Shen came over.

Jiang Daizhen went up to meet him and said with a smile, "Those people are gone?"

"Well, I finally left. I have been questioned by them all morning, and my head is still buzzing." Lin Shen said distressedly.

Jiang Daizhen laughed: "Who asked you to tell about your ability to make sugar?"

Lin Shen sighed: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't say it."

That being said, he didn't intend to hide it from the villagers.When the white sugar is made, the villagers will still know about it.

"That thing is called a beet?" Lin He also heard, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"People in the village went to ask, and Lin Shen really said so." Qing Ming said.

"Believe what he says, just plant some weird things, and I don't know where he got the seeds." Lin He said puzzled.

"It's true that I haven't seen it before." Qing Ming said.

Lin He was silent for a while, then began to ponder again: "Can that kind of beet really produce white sugar?"

"I don't know, it's just young seedlings now, who knows if white sugar will be produced in the future." Qing Ming said.

Lin He leaned close to him and said in a low voice, "Do you think I should also make a plant?"

Qingming's eyes flickered: "How?"

Lin He chuckled twice, and said mysteriously, "Don't worry about how I get it, I'll get it for you. Clean out the backyard when you have time, and plant the beets you got in there."

"Understood." Qing Ming said.

He already guessed what Lin He was going to do.

The old carpenter was in good spirits, and he would go back and forth to the fields every morning.

On this day, he went out happily and came back with a dark face.

"Where's Shen'er?" He asked as soon as he came back.

"Inside." Xiaotao stood up and asked strangely, "What happened?"

"It's okay, you call Shen'er out, I have something to tell him." The old carpenter said.

After finally being free, Lin Shen finally had time to accompany Jiang Daizhen.Before he left early and returned late, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat, let alone have a good meal with Jiang Daizhen.

After breakfast, the two of them never went out, staying in the bedroom not knowing what they were doing.

Xiao Tao eavesdropped close to the door, and heard Jiang Daizhen's laughter coming from inside.

Lin Shen also said: "Don't move, my drawing is crooked."

Jiang Daizhen couldn't help laughing: "I look like this, do I still need makeup?"

Lin Shen coaxed him: "This is not makeup, this is for fun. Look, how beautiful I made your eyebrows look."

Jiang Daizhen: "Is this beautiful?"

The delay was too long, and the old carpenter got impatient, and cast a stern look, as if to say: Why don't you go?

Xiaotao cleared her throat, raised her hand and knocked on the door three times.

"Stop making trouble, Xiaotao is outside." Jiang Daizhen pushed Lin Shen away, and wiped his lips with a slightly damp handkerchief.I don't know what Lin Shen smeared on it, it was bright red.

Lin Shen lowered his eyebrows regretfully, and raised his voice, "Xiao Tao?"

"It's me, the master came back from a walk and said he has something to tell you." Xiaotao said.

Seeing Xiaotao whimpering, the old carpenter was dissatisfied, and came to knock on the door himself: "Shen'er, are you inside?"

"exist--"

Before Lin Shen finished speaking, the old carpenter interrupted him again.

"It's good to be here. You put on your clothes and come out. I have something to tell you. If it's not important for me, I won't come to you."

The old carpenter was a little embarrassed. The young couple were very affectionate, and he didn't want to come over to the light bulb. It's just that this matter is a bit serious, and Lin Shen must know.

Lin Shen had already opened the door, and said with a blushing face, "I'm playing with Zhenzhen inside, and we haven't done anything wrong."

When the words fell to the ground, Jiang Dai really blushed.

It was nothing at first, but Lin Shen said so, as if they had done something bad.

"It doesn't matter if you do something bad, just make a child for me to play with. I'm too happy." The old carpenter said without hesitation.

"Master, stop talking." Lin Shen hurriedly closed the door, for fear that the old carpenter would say something surprising again.

Xiaotao wanted to pour tea and refreshments for them, but the old carpenter waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm not here for tea. I went to the beet field to check, and a large piece of beet was gone."

Lin Shen said in disbelief, "Was it stolen, or did someone destroy it?"

"I don't know." The old carpenter's face was very ugly, thinking that the big piece of beet was gone, his heart was bleeding.I feel sorry for Lin Shen's labor, but also for those beets.Good dishes are gone as soon as they are gone, and he won't be so distressed if someone eats them.The beet is still small, and that large piece can't be fried in a pot of vegetables. I really don't know that the saboteurs have a purpose.

Lin Shen couldn't sit still anymore, he asked the old carpenter to rest at home, and went to the beet field alone.

Another group of people surrounded the field, probably the old carpenter saw the vegetable field was destroyed, stood on the field and scolded his mother for a long time, and scolded everyone in the village.It's a good time to scold, the old carpenter has left, and the people who eat melons are still here.

As soon as Lin Shen came over, he was surrounded by people, and these people were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Who did this? It's too wicked. A large piece of it is gone."

"It must have been stolen in the middle of the night, and there is no vegetable thrown beside it, maybe it was brought home and planted."

"He grows, grows and eats vegetables."

"...not for food, but for sugar."

I don't know who said such a sentence, and everyone's thoughts suddenly became vivid.Lin Shen said that beets can produce sugar.Sugar can make a lot of money, who doesn't want to make a lot of money.It's hard not to be tempted when someone makes such a bad start.

"Let me take a look at the ground first." Lin Shen glanced at them, and it would be a lie to say that he was not annoyed.He thought that everyone in the village was honest and simple, but it seemed that it was not necessarily true in the face of interests.

As the old carpenter said, a large piece of beet seedlings was missing from the field, and there was no sign of discarded beet seedlings nearby. It must have been stolen from the field and secretly planted at home.

After reading it, Lin Shen asked many people, and they all said they didn't see who stole it.

Lin Shen looked calm, and couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he turned and went back to his home.

Jiang Daizhen asked him: "Have you regretted it?"

"I have a little regret. I didn't expect people's hearts to be so sinister. If they asked me directly, I wouldn't necessarily refuse to give it, rather than through this method. Those beets are still too small, and it would be difficult to move them to my own land. No way." Lin Shen said.

Jiang Daizhen patted him on the shoulder and said: "I think you should find someone to watch the vegetable field. Some people have not been punished for stealing vegetables, and some people will think so."

Lin Shen couldn't laugh or cry: "I told everyone that it is not easy to transplant now, and the seedlings will die if they are too young."

Jiang Daizhen narrowed his bright eyes, and said meaningfully: "They won't believe it, they will only think that you are trying to prevent others from stealing your food."

Only one night later, another large piece of the beet field was stolen.

This time, Lin Shen didn't even bother to ask.There was a light rain last night, and there were more than one pair of footprints on the ground, and it was obvious that it was not done by one person.

When Lin Shen was surrounded by people, a few people not far away were peeping.
