Chapter 114
Someone is coming
Because several children discovered bird droppings, several families in Xiaoxinzhuang became busier and busier.
There are so many things they have to do before the autumn harvest, including preparing the adobe for building houses, preparing materials for the autumn harvest, digging out some of the guano that can be put into the ground, piling it up, and then sealing it up with dark river mud.
Originally, Lu Xiaosi said that he could dig it directly and put it into the ground. Lu Quan was still worried. After discussing with Zhang San and others, he dug a part enough to plant wheat in the autumn and sealed it first for fermentation.
It takes at least a month to harvest the rice and then plant the wheat intermittently.
"Xiaosi, are we going to look for wild eggs in the wild forest today?"
Goudan raised his sleeve to wipe his nose, and stretched out his hand diligently to help Lu Xiaosi carry the basket.
Lu Xiaoyu snatched the basket and said, "There are so many pheasant eggs. In just these two days, you have plowed through the land in the forest. The pheasants have long been scared away."
The day before yesterday, Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaoyu found a nest of wild eggs in the wild forest. There were seven of them, which made several Li CanGuans jealous.
At that time, Li Canguan took Dongzhi and Goudan and trampled all over the wasteland. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they found a nest of five wild eggs.
It was not easy to divide five pheasant eggs among three people. Li Tantan had a good relationship with Dongzhi, so he wanted to give two to each person and give one to Gou Dan. How could he give Gou Dan one? He saw the pheasant nest first and wanted to share it.
It should also be divided into three, one for each of Li CanGuan and DongZhi.
The three of them argued so hard that they almost broke into a fight. Li Cangan and Dong Zhi teamed up to ride on Goudan, forcing him to take only one wild egg. Goudan was also very stubborn and would not let go even when he was pressed to the ground.
In the end, Lu Xiaosi couldn't bear it anymore and asked Xiaoyu to give Goudan a wild egg, and the matter was over.
However, Goudan, who originally liked following Li Cancan and Dongzhi, began to like following Lu Xiaosi and the other three siblings.
"Then let's go to the lake and touch snails."
Goudan said and sniffed again. The yellow pus that had already flowed out of his nasal cavity was sucked back with a huff.
Lu Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at the sky: "Goudan, are you disgusting? You must have sucked all this snot into your stomach."
"Hehe..." Goudan didn't refute, just smiled, "Would you like to go? If you go, can I help you carry the bamboo basket?"
"Do you want to go?" Lu Xiaosi asked Xiaoyu.
"Go ahead, there's nothing to do here."
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the empty wilderness in the distance. No one had come over in the past few days. They were so idle that grass almost grew on their bodies.
It's better to touch some snails and raise them, so that you can cook them for another dish.
Xiaoyu glanced at Goudan, who had a happy face, and curled his lips, "Goudan, let me tell you, when you get into the water later, you take off your coat and wash it. Look, your sleeves are stained with snot from your nose.
It’s almost turning into a shell.”
"Okay, I'll wash it." Goudan didn't care about being disliked by Xiaoyu. He happily came over to help Xiaoyu get the basket, "Xiaoyu, please slow down, I'll hold the basket, I'm strong."
Seeing Lu Xiaoyu and Goudan walking towards the lake, Li Canguan glanced at Lu Xiaosi who was sitting on the reed mat: "Xiaosi, wait, I will touch the snails for you. I guarantee that they will be better than Goudan's.
many."
The four people, divided into two sides, all rolled up their trousers and touched the snails in the water.
On the shore, Lu Xiaosi was left alone to accompany Lu Xiaowu, sitting on a reed mat and playing with making grasshoppers out of blades of grass.
The sun was rising higher and higher. Li Guangguan and Dong Zhi, who had already slipped away into the distance, got ashore first and ran barefoot towards Lu Xiaosi.
"Xiaosi, Xiaosi, someone is coming."
Before Li Canguan could get closer, Lu Xiaoyu and Goudan, who were not far away, also carried their backpacks and landed ashore.
"Xiaosi, I heard the sound of Dede."
After a while, a tall horse galloped in the distance.
It was too far away to see clearly the people on the horses, nor the color of the oncoming horses.
However, Lu Xiaosi vaguely felt that the horse should be black. The person riding the horse was probably Song Yunfei who was looking for her at the dock that day.
Just when they were about to hide in the woods and watch, the man on horseback did not pass in front of the woods at all, so he turned around and headed towards the gate.
Li CanGuan stuck his head out to visit: "Do you think that person saw us?"
Winter Solstice: "I don't know."
Logically speaking, it cannot be seen from such a distance.
But there is a saying that is true, if you stand tall, you will see luck, and if you ride on a horse, you will be considered tall too!
Lu Xiaoyu thought for a while and then said: "I always feel that the man on horseback glanced at us."
Although they were not very close, when the man reined in his horse and turned around, everyone clearly felt that he glanced this way.
Lu Sheige had a bad premonition that the man on horseback was probably Song Yunfei.
And Song Yunfei was able to ride here and ride here, probably because he already knew that she lived here.
Even if this person is not Song Yunfei, he is still the two people who came with Song Yunfei.
Jiangjiaba is a small town, and mules, not to mention horses, are rarely seen on weekdays.
Occasionally when I go to the market, I can see a few donkeys, and they are still very skinny.
I had only seen such a tall horse like that once when I met Song Yunfei at the dock that day.
Dongzhi poked his head out from behind Lu Xiaoyu: "Then do you want to go back and tell Uncle Lu and the others?"
"Need not."
Lu Sheige pushed away Li Canguan, who had squeezed to her side, "You go back first, I'll watch from here, and you can come back to me after dinner."
"Then let's go back." Because Lu Xiaosi saved him, Li Cancan listened to Lu Xiaosi's words very much recently.
Even Goudan, who wanted to stay, was pulled by Li Guangguan, and followed the two of them reluctantly while turning back.
"I will accompany you. When Goudan and the others come to replace us, I will go back with you."
Lu Xiaoyu was worried that Xiaosi was alone, and squatted beside Lu Xiange without moving. There was a reed mat on the ground in front of her, and Lu Xiaowu was playing with grasshoppers on it with his buttocks sticking out.
"Xiaoyu, you should take Xiao Wu back first. Xiao Wu should be hungry. Wait until Xiao Wu takes a nap."
"Then... I'll watch from here. You can take Xiao Wu back."
Lu Sheige looked at the three Li Canguas who had walked away, and said in a low voice: "I want to go to the town to visit, but don't tell my parents. You go back to eat first. After dinner, leave Xiao Wu at home and bring me some."
Just bring food. When the time comes and my parents want to ask, just say I'm here to watch over you and don't want to run back and forth."
Lu Xiaoyu didn't want to: "Dad won't let me go to town."
Lu Sheige turned to look in the direction where the horses disappeared: "I will go to Aunt Ding's house to inquire about the situation and find out what is going on now."
Lu Xiaoyu was still a little worried: "If my parents find out, they will definitely scold me."
"No, if I go to town, my parents will only scold me if they find out."
Lu Xiaoyu thought to herself, that's not true. Her parents never scold Xiaosi, so she will definitely be scolded when the time comes.
