"Impossible!" Xiaoxue opened her eyes wide in surprise, and said in amazement: "Although our Xiaoshu is a little irritable and has a carefree temper, how can she fight with others? Besides, she is a little girl with a good-looking So weak, how could she beat you—badly? Can she beat you... "
Zhou Yuan smiled wryly and said: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, even I couldn't believe it myself, she was so serious, I still tremble when I think about it! But don't worry, I have nothing to do with anyone except you. people mentioned it."
Xiaoxue thought about it, and knew that her second sister was eccentric, maybe she managed to punish Zhou Yuan, but she was not sure. As for the second sister beating someone herself, Xiaoxue would not believe it no matter what!
"Then you dare to come after seeing her!" Xiaoxue blurted out, knowing that she had said something wrong.
Sure enough, Zhou Yuan looked at her affectionately, and stammered softly: "I, I, I am not for, for...you..."
"Xiaoxue!" Seeing that she lowered her head and was about to leave, Zhou Yuan hurriedly stopped her again, and said sincerely, "I know I am not good-looking, not as handsome as Lin Fang, nor can he speak, but I, my first When I first saw you—anyway, I regretted it to death, I shouldn't have misunderstood you like that... Xiaoxue, can you stop being angry?"
Xiaoxue was terribly embarrassed in her heart, thinking what kind of thing this is! Okay, how did he talk about this
In fact, she could more or less understand Zhou Yuan's thoughts, but everything was fine before the window paper was pierced, and to put it bluntly, it was not the case.
"Don't say those words again! Don't mention the past, I think, since it's a misunderstanding, there's nothing to say about forgiveness or forgiveness...you—don't come to our house in the future!"
Zhou Yuan was stunned, his heart suddenly turned cold, he only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, "Are you really, unwilling to forgive me?"
Xiaoxue was angry and funny, so she had to patiently say: "No, I said it, don't mention the past, and don't come here from now on!"
"You forgive me?"
"Um… "
"That's good!" Zhou Yuan said with a very relaxed smile: "Let's all forget what happened that day, we can start over, Xiaoxue!"
"..." Xiaoxue wanted to refute, but found that the words came to her lips but she was too embarrassed to say them. She suddenly felt very envious of her sister, at least she didn't have anything to say!
"We are not suitable! Now that the canal has been repaired, my brother will go back to Lin's wharf soon to work. You and Lin Fang, don't come to our house again in the future! It's not good for people to see!"
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a while, only feeling a loss in his heart, looking at the delicate beauty in front of him under the moonlight, but felt so far away from her.
But of course he wouldn't give up so easily. Xiaoshu beat him like that, he didn't even think about giving up, let alone now
"Okay, I can't ruin your reputation." Zhou Yuan smiled, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued to say in a low voice: "I will come to you later when it is convenient. Xiaoxue, unless you are married , otherwise I won't give up. But if you don't agree, I don't dare to ask a matchmaker to come and say kiss. I'll wait for you. "
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, before Xiaoxue turned around, he turned around and walked away.
Xiaoxue couldn't help being stunned on the spot, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After playing for a while, seeing that the night was getting dark, a group of people put out the fire and packed up their things and went home.
Lin Fang said goodbye to them with a smile, and pulled Zhou Yuan into the carriage, and the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family also went home to rest without mentioning it.
Even Lu Xiaoshu noticed that Xiaoxue's mood was not right, so he pressed her to question when he was sleeping at night.
How could Xiaoxue have the nerve to say it? Then he did Tai Chi with her vaguely, sleepiness hit him, Lu Xiaoshu didn't bother to ask, and fell asleep.
Seeing that nothing happened, the next day, Lu Qi went back to the city to continue his work. Everyone in Maple Leaf Village was still immersed in the three-day drama. Back to normal.
Miao Chuhe couldn't treat one more favorably than another, so he still invited the theater troupe to perform in Miaojia Village for three nights, and it was really lively there again.
Sure enough, Lin Fang and Zhou Yuan haven't been here for a while, Lu Xiaoshu occasionally went out to Lin Fang's village to ride horses for a while, and he was at home most of the time.
It's not that she doesn't want to go out to play, but that the weather is so stuffy and hot that she can't go out. Even those old-fashioned crops who have been farming all their lives can't stand it. They only rush to the fields in the early morning and afternoon after the sun is westward to grab time to work, and they have to spend the rest of the time at home under the shade of trees. .
Sure enough, it was going to be a severe drought.
Day by day, the signs became more obvious. The water flow in the river gradually shrank, revealing large areas of white rocky beaches that were originally hidden under the water, and the water flow also slowed down.
The water in the ditch behind the Lu family's yard also seemed to be getting smaller day by day. After more than half a month, the water flow could no longer drive the millstone to turn, and naturally the tofu couldn't be made, so it had to stop temporarily.
The Lu family lives in the middle of the mountain, and the water is the mountain spring water brought down from the mountain. The forests on the mountain are lush, especially at the source of the water, and there are many water plantains that are the best for solid water and raw water. Small, but still there.
Among other things, the small reservoir for storing water is still full and overflowing with water. The fish pond can also be replenished with fresh water at any time, but no one knows how long this situation can last. The sun in the sky is getting hotter every day.
The well in the front yard is slightly stronger. Although the water volume has dropped, drinking water is still not a problem. The fruit trees planted in the yard were drooping and listless all day long, and the tortoise that Lu Xiaoshu raised in the shade of flowers couldn't stand it anymore, and crawled out all day long to find water. Lu Xiaoshu couldn't see it, so he simply threw it into the fish pond. At this time of year, I hope it is a smart one, if it escapes, I'm afraid it will turn into a roasted tortoise!
Fortunately, the canals and reservoirs were built in time, and the crops in the fields can still have water to drink. This is equivalent to keeping the rations for next year!
Everyone was rejoicing and said that the man from Biteng Mountain was really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. He proposed to do such a good thing on a whim, and who knew it would come in handy right away. It is more effective than a Bodhisattva!
After complimenting the people of Biteng Mountain, it is necessary to praise the magistrate of the county. If the magistrate of the county hadn't been wise enough to take the lead in doing this good deed after listening to the words of the Bitengshan people, I'm afraid there will be no harvest again this year! I don't know how many people ended up leaving their homes.
All of a sudden, the people of Biteng Mountain became famous, and the reputation of the magistrate of the county also rose for a while, and he almost became the master of Qingtian today.
The magistrate of the county was naturally overjoyed, and he had already begun to think about the meritorious service. Of course, the Bitengshan people are also secretly happy. As the reputation rises, the price of the painting will of course rise along with it.
However, Lu Xiaoshu felt very sorry for his master Mr. Wu from the bottom of his heart. Anyway, this celestial phenomenon was predicted by Mr. Wu, but now few people remember him, and all the benefits have been accepted by him quietly. Wouldn't it make him feel aggrieved to death
Lu Xiaoshu felt guilty and guilty, and subconsciously brought out an extra obedience and respect to his master in his actions, which made Mr. Wu wonder if something happened to her? Did something happen and you want to help with the aftermath
Lu Xiaoshu was very depressed! It turned out that she was such a person in Master's heart!
She couldn't help but told Mr. Wu the question in her heart pretending to be aggrieved, saying that the Bitengshan people took advantage of it, and the husband complained in his heart, regretted it or not
Mr. Wu was amused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You girl, I can't see that you are so protective of your teacher. I am very pleased to be a teacher! As long as someone does this and achieves the effect, it will be fine for those false names. Does the teacher care?"
"Sir, you really don't care at all?" Lu Xiaoshu didn't believe it.
"What do you think?" Mr. Wu smiled slightly, tilted his head to look at her, and suddenly said: "Strange, why do I feel that your tone seems a little-guilt?"
"I, I'm not fair!" Lu Xiaoshu almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on! He didn't dare to continue these words any more, and fled after saying a few words.
Well, the master planted trees and the apprentice took the shade, she actually has nothing to feel guilty about! real!
More than a month has passed in a flash, and the sun is booming every day, and there has not been a drop of rain. The crops in the fields are barely okay thanks to the canals, but those mountainous areas are different, with large cracks and cracks, and the soil is so dry that it can float up when the wind blows. The leaves of many trees have also become gray, and the young leaves at the end are scorched and curled.
People lost their mood and stamina to go up the mountain to work, and the village suddenly became lively.
Not long after, the imperial court issued a document to inform that this year's autumn festival will be temporarily canceled and will be held next year. Chunwei took advantage of the trend and changed it to the next year.
Only then did everyone learn that it was not only the Fengye Village area that suffered this year, but the entire southwest region suffered a severe drought that had not happened in a century, and the Yellow River area was flooded again. Millions of people in the five provinces along the river suffered disasters. Most of the country is in dire straits!
The imperial court is so busy with disaster relief, how can it care about other things
Until September, it cleared up for countless days and nights, and everyone was numb and used to it. Finally, in the evening of this day, the clouds were dense, blood-red lightning split the thick sky, thunder rumbled and rolled, and several First rain in months.
Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and the smell of dust with an earthy smell rushed into the nostrils. After a while, the ground was wet and trickled. The trickle turns into a ditch again in an instant. The rain was fierce and the water was torrential. People cheered and ran, and wept with joy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
