Naniu didn't react until then. Looking at Taimin who was pressed to the ground, she quickly ran to Zheng Shiyi, stretched out a hand to hold Zheng Shiyi, and wanted to open Zheng Shiyi's hand, while saying: "Don't hit. Uncle, this is my uncle."
Zheng Shiyi looked at Na Niu, who looked nervous, with some surprise, and said with confusion: "But he scolded you like that before?"
"No, uncle is just swearing, he is very good at heart." Na Niu shook her head vigorously, looked at Zheng Shiyi anxiously and said: "Do you want to help me? If you want to help me, then go with me. Go work in the fields.”
Zheng Shiyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Na Niu to be smart enough to see what he was thinking. That's all, this is her uncle after all.
Zheng Shiyi let go of Taimin, picked up the farm tools that Na Niu usually carried, and followed Na Niu towards the village outside.
While walking, Na Niu said with a proud face: "Every household in our village has free land. One piece of land is used by the court to grow food. The court harvests 20% of the food. The remaining food is our own. Grow vegetables on your own plot.”
Zheng Shiyi nodded lightly. After coming to the world, he had been practicing but he didn't know the harvest of the villagers' fields.
The imperial court only harvested 20% of the grain, which was extremely low.
In the small world where I live, most of the land in the village belongs to landlords, but the commission taken by those landlords is exactly the opposite. They want 80%, and the common people who farm the land can only keep 20%, not to mention the private land they farm casually. Well, in this small world, where do ordinary people have any place for themselves
Now it seems that the current emperor is indeed a wise king.
The land in the village is not far from Na Niu's house. After walking past the creek where she fainted before, and walking another mile, she reached the land where food is grown.
Na Niu pointed to a piece of land in front of her and shouted: "These two acres of land are my family's private land."
Zheng Shiyi looked up and saw that two acres of land was not big in his opinion. It was just a girl...
"Did you farm all this land? Where's your uncle?" Zheng Shiyi asked with some dissatisfaction.
"I cultivate the private land by myself, and the land that can grow food is cultivated by my uncle and I, which is eight acres of land. I can't cultivate it by myself. In addition to farming, my uncle is also a carpenter. When he is not busy with farm work, , my uncle went to Li Dahu’s house in the village to make wooden tools, and asked me to work alone.
When the farming season is busy, my uncle and I work together in the fields. My uncle is even more tired than me. If it weren't for my uncle, I would have starved to death. "
"So that's it." Zheng Shiyi heard this, but he became a little confused: "It seems that your family should not be poor. Why, I think your family seems to be worse than other families."
"It's because of me." Na Niu pointed to her legs without hesitation and said: "My legs are not good. My uncle has spent a lot of money to look at my legs over the years. Also, my uncle said that I am not good at marrying. people.
If you want to marry me off, you have to prepare a lot of dowry so that you won't be bullied. My uncle has been helping me save money. "
"So that's it." Zheng Shiyi nodded slightly, and his view of Taimin changed a lot.
"Okay, stop talking and work quickly." Na Niu said, gave Zheng Shiyi a hoe, then took out a few seeds and said to Zheng Shiyi: "One border, two rows, each pit is separated by one Ruler. And these are seeds. Put one seed in each pit for sincere seeds, and two seeds for dishonest ones.”
"Why do you need to put two seeds?" Zheng Shiyi scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "Isn't it a waste to put two seeds?"
"Put one if you are sincere, and only two if you are dishonest!" Na Niu glared at Zheng Shiyi and said: "The seeds of dishonesty may become necrotic and cannot grow, so we need to put two."
"Then... what if both seeds sprout and grow?" Zheng Shiyi was still a little confused.
Before Nanu could answer, a child's cry came from the side: "Idiot, of course you moved the small one and left the big one. Even tigers know it. You are so old and you don't know. You are really stupid." ah."
"Yeah, really stupid."
Two tiger-headed children made faces at Zheng Shiyi from another private plot on the side. One of them picked a long vegetable and ran away into the distance while eating it.
"Huzi, Erba, you stole Uncle Zhang's food again... Let your dad know later, I won't beat your butts." Na Niu pointed at the two children and smiled twice, then turned back to Zheng Shiyi He said: "Uncle Zhang's child has gone to serve in the army, and he is the only one in the family who loves children very much.
The children in the village knew that Uncle Zhang liked children and never scolded them, so they all came to Uncle Zhang's place to steal food. "
Zheng Shiyi looked at Na Niu with a bright smile and asked with a smile: "What about your family?"
"My family's land? They don't dare to steal it. They are afraid of my uncle." Naniu continued to instruct: "You must put two seeds of dishonesty. Some of these seeds will not be easy to grow when they grow. That's why we have to Put two in and leave the big ones to feed.”
"I know. But why not leave the seeds of sincerity behind?" Zheng Shiyi felt that it shouldn't be difficult to solve this problem.
"This is the Sanque fruit. The old people said that it lacks soil, water and wood, so it is called the Sanque fruit. It is difficult to keep the seeds of the Sanque fruit. Some of the seeds in our family are bought from Aunt Liu. Yes, there are so many honest people, so it’s not easy to get enough of this land."
"I see, what is the seed of sincerity?"
Zheng Shiyi asked in detail how big and deep a hole should be dug, and what should be paid attention to when digging a hole. Then he separated from Huniu, one person at a time, and started digging the hole from both sides of the ground toward the middle.
Zheng Shiyi waved his hoe and began to dig a hole. Although he could not use his spiritual energy, his physical strength was still there. With his strength, he could dig a hole with just one dig...
In the blink of an eye, he had abandoned a dozen pits and sown the seeds.
He stood up and just about to dig forward, Huniu came over from the opposite side. Pointing to several pits: "These two pits and this pit are not good, they are too deep. It is difficult for the seeds to spread out."
"Huh? Deep?" Zheng Shiyi lowered his head and took a closer look. The pit Huniu mentioned was indeed slightly deeper than the other pits, but it was difficult to identify it if you didn't look carefully.
"How come it's not the same depth? I've always used the same power to dig holes. Although my current cultivation level is not there, my control is still there. With my control, such a deviation is impossible?" Zheng Shiyi was full of questions. I looked at the three slightly different pits in surprise.
"The ground in my house is different. The ground is softer toward the middle, and the ground outside is hard." Naniu said with a serious look on her face: "The old man in the village said that everything has life, and the same goes for farming. Not only do we need to take them seriously, but we also need to find out their habits and which seed is more suitable for which piece of land, such as this... "
It was Zheng Shiyi's first time farming, but he discovered that there was so much knowledge in farming. His power was much greater than that of Naniu. Because of years of practice, his control over strength was much better than Naniu's. But when it comes to planting, it is far worse than Naniu. Not only is her planting not as good as Naniu, but the speed is also much slower than Naniu.
Naniu planted more than 70% of the land, but he didn't even plant 30%.
After planting the land, Na Niu pointed to a small sapling nearby and said, "Let's go catch insects. These blue-leaf trees have just grown up, which is the time when they attract the most insects..."
Under Naniu's guidance, Zheng Shiyi began to learn how to catch insects. Although he was faster, the speed at which he could catch insects was only on par with Naniu's.
But slowly, as he became more and more proficient, his speed at catching insects gradually surpassed that of Naniu.
"Shiyi, you are so awesome." Naniu looked at Zheng Shiyi, who was starting to exceed her speed, with a happy smile on her face.
Zheng Shiyi was infected by Na Niu's smile and grinned.
"Pfft..."
As he smiled, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. The energy and blood in his body suddenly surged. His body went limp and he fainted to the ground.
"Shiyi... what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!" Na Niu was shocked and quickly ran to Zheng Shiyi. She first tried Zheng Shiyi's breath and felt that Zheng Shiyi was still breathing. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up Zheng Shiyi and walked towards home.
Naniu carried Zheng Shiyi all the way home, then quickly got up and left with the farm tools, heading towards the farmland.
Zheng Shiyi lay on his back and put on his clothes, looking at Na Niu leaving through the window, sighing in his heart, she is really a good and diligent girl.
It's just that my body is a little worse. It seems that it's because I have just recovered and moved too much.
Just as he was sighing in his heart, outside the courtyard, Taimin hurried back from outside. Soon the door opened, followed by footsteps that sounded much heavier than before.
The footsteps were getting closer and heavier.
Zheng Shiyi was lying on the bed. For some reason, when he heard the footsteps, he had the illusion that it was like a sickle in the hand of death, approaching his heart inch by inch. Every time the footsteps fell, it seemed that the sickle was approaching his heart. point.
Finally, the footsteps stopped in the direction of the door. After a breath, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and a figure walked in!
Taemin!
Zheng Shiyi was lying on the bed, his eyes suddenly widened.
Opposite, Taimin was holding a hatchet in his hand. He looked much more sinister than before. Looking at Zheng Shiyi, his eyes exuded a strong murderous aura, which made his whole body reveal a feeling that he had never seen before. A sense of terror.
He wants to kill himself!
Zheng Shiyi's heart trembled and he wanted to get up, but he couldn't use any strength from his whole body. He could only look in the opposite direction.
Taimin looked at Zheng Shiyi without saying a word. He lifted the hatchet in his hand, then put it down, then lifted it up again, and put it down again...
After repeating this several times, he sighed heavily, suddenly turned around, walked out of the room, and quickly left the house.
Zheng Shiyi looked at Taimin leaving through the window. He sighed in his heart, but at the same time he was a little confused. It was understandable that Taimin wanted to kill him. After all, he had dragged down his niece and ruined his niece's reputation. .
But, I don’t know why he didn’t kill himself.
