Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Chapter 10 Bitten by a Snake

Fortunately, after that sound, everyone who was still lying on the bed got up.After a simple wash, everyone scrambled to eat pickles with buns.

Among them, Zhang Shu's eating behavior is considered gentle. First, buns are not a good thing for him. Second, he has not integrated into the team of day laborers at all, and he doesn't understand how fast they eat.

When he finished eating the second one and wanted to get a new one, he found that the basin was empty.The plate containing the pickles was also shiny, and after being wiped back and forth several times with steamed buns, they didn't even need to wash it.

Zhang Shu touched his stomach and found that he had almost eaten. He didn't think too much, so he went out with everyone.

When we arrived at the place where the garden was going to be repaired in Mo's residence, the butler Mo was already waiting there, and there were two strong boys standing behind him, looking at them with a lot of tools in their hands.

Laiwang stepped forward, nodded and bowed to Chief Steward Mo, "Boss, where do we start?"

The chief manager glanced at him, "Today your character is to remove the weeds above, and then dig out the grass roots to level the ground."

The yard is about four or five feet long and four or five feet wide, and looks like a square.There are many weeds growing on it, some of which can cover their knees.

Zhang Shu guessed that there might be some poisonous insects, rats and ants in it. If it is against the mountain, there will definitely be rabbits here!

They lined up, and each of them received a tool. Among the seven, three received sickles and four received hoes.

Zhang Shu has a sickle in his hand.Relatively speaking, the work of holding a sickle will be easier, but you have to keep your back bent all the time. Only those who have enjoyed the taste of it will understand.

Those who received the hoe could start after half an hour, so Zhang Shu and the other two went forward first, and the other four sat and rested.

The sun has not yet risen, and there is still a bit of cool wind blowing in the yard, and the people sitting there quickly doze off.Zhang Shu was a little envious, and he also wanted to take another nap.

When he was mowing the grass, he saw that the two of them were bowing their bodies silently and mowing. After hesitating for a moment, he still reminded, "Brothers, there may be some snakes, rats and ants in this yard that has been deserted for a long time. Hit some surroundings before cutting to scare them away."

One of them, Zhou Da, smiled at him, and did as he said when he cut another piece of land.The other let out a snort of disdain, and mocked, "Don't come to work if you are so afraid of death, you, the young master of a landlord's family, are you still here to compete with us little people for work?"

When Zhang Shu said this, he just read it silently, and his kindness was not rewarded, so he lowered his head and mowed the grass silently.From the corner of his eyes, he found that Zhou Da and his actions were consistent, first knocking on the grass, and then reaching down to grab the grass stems and start cutting, while Yu Xiaoliu, who was choking with him, lowered his hands loudly. Stretch out, pick up the sickle and cut.

After an unknown period of time, Zhang Shu straightened his waist and patted his back, feeling that it was really hard work. Those men carrying hoes dug the ground with a bang bang sound, as if they were tireless at all, and he bent down again.

The sun has come out, and the golden light shines on the earth, dispelling the coolness brought by the morning breeze.As the temperature rose higher and higher, beads of sweat merged into a small river, flowing from Zhang Shu's forehead to his chin, and then dripped into the grass, disappearing in an instant.

He felt a little hazy in front of his eyes, and wiped it with the back of his hand, only to find that it was beads of sweat sticking to his eyelids, blurring his eyes.He felt tired and thirsty and hungry, and then he understood why they were so desperate for breakfast in the morning.

Laiwang called out from a distance, "Zhang Shu, come sit down and have a drink of water." After a whole morning's work, his impression of Zhang Shu was much better. Lazy, he loves to work with such a serious kid.This man is not as timid as his mother heard, and he likes to dodge work.

Zhang Shu lifted the sickle and stood up straight, looked around, and found that he was the only one left in the weed field, and the others had already sat under the tree.

He walked over slowly, picked up the bucket on the ground, poured a bowl of water into the bowl, and then gulped it down. He drank very quickly, and the water flowed from the corner of his mouth all the way to his neck.

The water was freshly brought up from the well. It was clear and sweet, and it was very refreshing to drink on a hot day.Zhang Shu drank three bowls in one go, feeling his stomach shaking when he walked around.

Sitting next to him, Zhou Da smiled, "Did you not eat enough this morning?"

Zhang Shu was a little embarrassed, "I ate two buns."

"Let me tell you, such a big guy only ate two steamed buns, and I ate four of yours, Brother Zhou."

Zhang Shu rubbed his head, "If you eat slowly, you will be eaten by others."

"There's nothing you can do about the meal in the morning. You can listen to me for the meal at noon. I'm sure you'll be full." Zhou Da said mysteriously.

Zhang Shu nodded, feeling a little happy in his heart.This morning alone, two people took the initiative to talk to him, which was simply impossible in the past.

Those people either pretended they didn't see him, or deliberately mocked him, saying something like, "Did you get torn up by your mother-in-law again yesterday?" or something like that.After seeing him cowardly saying no, there was another burst of laughter, as if he was a buffoon on the stage, specially used to be laughed at by others.

After resting for a while, Laiwang called everyone to get up and work again, but this time everyone used the cut grass to weave a hat and put it on top of their heads to keep out the scorching sun.

Zhang Shu is no exception. Sometimes when he mows the grass, he occasionally loses his mind and sees a person staring at a "green hat" working in the field. He feels a little funny in his heart. After laughing, he feels sad. The first thing in the previous life was true, and it was still the most scandalous thing.

It was noon in a daze, and someone came to call them to eat. Zhang Shu clutched his hungry stomach and walked with the group. He looked back and saw that the land was only half finished, and it seemed that it would be a long time before the completion of the work. Moreover, it will take half a month to carry soil, build walls, and plant trees and flowers.

They eat brown rice at noon. For them, the time of eating is less than that of eating steamed buns, because rice is difficult to feed.

The side dishes at noon are stir-fried Chinese cabbage with oil residue and cold cucumber, both of which are served in pots, and the rice is also directly carried in a large wooden barrel for steaming rice, which seems to be absolutely enough.

Zhang Shu swallowed, his Adam's apple wriggled rapidly, he found himself very hungry!

The boy left after putting down the meal, and after Laiwang said that the meal was ready, everyone took the bowls to serve it.Zhang Shu saw that their bowls were piled high, and thought to himself, the mistakes made in the morning should not be repeated, and they must be full!

Soon it was his turn. Zhou Da waited behind him and whispered to him, "If you want to be full, do as I tell you. Don't fill the first bowl too full."

Zhang Shu's hands paused, and then he resolutely followed what he said. At worst, he would be deceived. Anyway, he would not believe him next time if he was deceived.

Zhou Dasheng's bowl wasn't too full, so the two of them put a lot of food into the bowl and squatted down to eat.

A bowl of rice was eaten quickly, and Zhang Shu even felt that a corner of his stomach had just been filled.Zhou Da had also finished eating at this time, and after winking at him, the two came to the side of the rice bucket and found that there was still a lot of rice in it. The pressure of rice is tight.

Zhang Shu looked at the half a bowl of rice left by the others, and understood.If you pack a lot for the first time, you will naturally eat slowly. When you go to fill it up for the second time, you may be eaten by others again.But the first time you pack a little, you can eat faster, and the second time you pack a lot of food, you can eat slowly.

Zhang Shu smiled gratefully at him, and each picked some vegetables and squatted beside him to eat.Sure enough, after eating this big bowl of rice, he burped roughly, no matter whether it was his stomach or his heart, it was full.

On the other hand, there were two people who were very full. The second time they filled only half a bowl of rice, they were all stroking their stomachs with unsatisfactory faces.

At noon when the sun is at its strongest, they can rest for an hour.Everyone washed their faces with water, then fell to the paved floor and fell asleep wheezing.

Zhang Shu was woken up by someone, and the person who pushed him was Zhou Da, "Wake up, it's time to go to work."

"Oh," Zhang Shu replied dully, and then woke up after flushing his face with water again.

There was no sun in one corner of the yard, so Laiwang decided to mow the grass there first in the afternoon.Again, the three of them went first, Zhou Da and Zhang Shu were on one side, and Yu Xiaoliu was on the other side where there was shade. He thought in his heart that places with shade were cooler than other places.

Zhang Shu and Zhou Dazheng were talking one after another, when suddenly they heard an "ah", and Yu Xiaoliu's painful cry came from the other side.

They hurried over to look, and found that there were two blood holes on his wrist, and blood was gurgling upwards.

Others also ran over, saw his wound and said, "It was bitten by a snake!"

"Yeah, I don't know if it's poisonous or not?"

Yu Xiaoliu was even more frightened by everyone's chatter, crying like a dead mother.

Zhang Shu held his wrist, squeezed it down, and asked, "What does this snake look like? Is its head round or pointed?" His voice was very calm, especially reliable among a group of panicked people. .

Yu Xiaoliu, who had some opinions on him because of the big dog, was terrified and couldn't care less to refute him, sobbing, he said, "It's a little black snake, coiled under the grass. When it bit me, I I see, the head is round. You say it’s not a mountain wind, I’m afraid I’m going to die, Brother Laiwang, do you remember to give me my salary this morning..." He began to cry.

Zhang Shu's head got dizzy from his quarrel, and he yelled, "Who said you are going to die!"

The others were a little frightened by the sound, and they all looked at Zhang Shu. Zhang Shu felt a little timid and embarrassed, and then he suppressed it calmly and said, "Guoshanfeng is a poisonous snake. They are flat and slightly pointed. He is talking about non-venomous snakes, and they are all round. Moreover, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will bleed black blood, but his blood is red."

Zhang Shu looked around and found a small grass growing under the tree, which could stop the bleeding.He went over to pull up the grass, chewed it in his mouth, and spat it out to paste on Yu Xiaoliu's hands. After a while, the blood stopped flowing.

It was Hibiscus' elder brother who taught him the distinction between snake species and herbs, and he taught it to himself.Zhang Shu suddenly realized that he wanted to see Mu Jin again after only one day away.

When the others saw it, sure enough, the blood was bright red, not black at all.

"In this way, I won't die?" Yu Xiaoliu's face was covered with tears and snot, and then he laughed again.

"You boy," Lai Wang slapped him, "Can Zhang Shu be wrong?"

"Yeah, he usually doesn't say a word, but it's quite useful at critical times!"

Everyone praised Zhang Shu, and Yu Xiaoliu also blushed and said thank you Brother Zhangshu. Only then did he know that Yu Xiaoliu was one year younger than him.

Men's friendship is so inexplicable, when they go to bed at night, almost everyone has talked to Zhang Shu.
