Chapter 11

The three of them and one monkey ate dinner under the dim light, and the sky outside was completely dark.

Grandma Lanhua went outside to get a basket, "I will go harvest wheat with you, Grandpa Dawang, and you and Ms. Xue will rest at home and take care of the house by the way."

Qingyan didn't want to stay at home, she was thinking of taking the opportunity to take some of them into Chouchou's space, it was convenient for her to do things because she couldn't see clearly at night, and they only had so few people, so they probably wouldn't be able to take much away in one night.

Lan Hua didn't want to either, she and grandma were the only ones at home, and she had to help, otherwise grandma wouldn't be able to do much work by herself, and it would be better to rely on others to help on the road.

Grandma Lanhua is not good at rejecting Qingyan, and her granddaughter Lanhuana is also a little afraid that she will be frightened by what happened during the day.

Originally, I wanted to let them rest at home, and I counted as much as I could do.

Now that I think about it, since Ms. Xue is going to go, it would be even worse to let the orchids stay at home by herself. She might be thinking wildly and even more afraid, so she might as well take her with her to the field.

When the three of them went out, the others were also ready, and a group of people walked towards the field under the moonlight.

……

Qingyan stood on the ground, looking at the "farm tools" in her hand, lost in thought.

She thought that when harvesting wheat, there would be a sickle for harvesting wheat. They had it in their old house, and they used it to cut the grass in the yard every time they went back with their grandparents.

Unexpectedly, the tools made of stone are used to cut wheat here. A piece of stone with one side sharpened is tied to a wooden stick to make something like a pickaxe.

She glanced at the orchid grandma she was using, it was used to dig out the wheat directly from the root, and it was only for women, men would just pull it out with bare hands.

She blinked, and she was too embarrassed to ask, for fear of being exposed.

On the other hand, Lan Hua saw her looking at the tools in a daze, and took the initiative to explain: "Sister, we used to use sickles, but the iron is expensive, and only a few families in the village have them. Usually, we borrow them when they run out of them. .

When they left a few days ago, they took all these valuable belongings with them, and now we can only figure out our own way. "

Qingyan suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this!
It's not that she misremembered the history, it made her think that the history textbooks are all lies, and the agricultural tools before the Song Dynasty were all stone tools!

After seeing how they harvested the wheat, it took a long time to collect a small piece.

Qingyan silently took out a pair of gloves from her backpack, put them on her hands, and pulled them out with her bare hands.

She already has great strength, plus she has practiced martial arts, and her speed is higher than that of ordinary people. In a short while, she harvested a large piece of wheat that is not dense.

Grandma Lanhua and Lanhua were shocked by her for a long time before they came back to their senses. They hurriedly threw away their tools, followed behind to bundle up the straw, and carried them to a big stone in the center in a basket.

There were two men over there, threshing the wheat by beating it on the stones with poles.

Fortunately, the wheat has passed the harvest period, and it hasn't rained in the past few days. It has been dried by the sun and can be threshed directly, otherwise it will not be able to be removed at all.

They don't have much time to waste, so they can only charge as much as they want.

The two threshers saw their grandparents and grandchildren transporting the straw one after another, with roots and a small amount of soil, and asked in surprise, "How did you pull it out so quickly?"

Lanhua wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, and proudly said with her small face up, "It was all done by Sister Fairy! Sister Fairy is so powerful, she pulled up an acre of land in a short time, and grandma and I couldn't keep up ..."

The two looked up, because it was the beginning of the month, the moonlight was not very bright, and they could only vaguely see a person there, constantly moving.

Xin said, this little girl looked at her delicate skin and tender flesh, but she didn't expect that she was not only strong in martial arts, but also so capable.

Pulling wheat is a physical labor, and these big men have to rest for an acre of land, and their hands and waists can't bear it.

Qingyan took advantage of the time when grandparents and grandchildren were carrying bales of wheat to threshing, and let Chouchou put some into the space. Although it was too late to threshing, it could be used for emergency if there was nothing to eat in the future.

She doesn't think that the food harvested this night can be eaten for a long time, even if the grain harvested is too much, how to take it away is also a problem.

She remembered that her father said that when they were young, they would secretly light a fire on the ground to roast wheat grains, thinking that they could harvest some whole ears of wheat, and then they could roast the wheat grains for emergency.

A group of people worked like this until midnight, and no one communicated much, only the sound of threshing wheat in the distance could be heard.

Suddenly, Qingyan suddenly stopped moving.

Turning around, she said quickly to Grandma Lanhua who was tying the straw behind her: "Grandma Yang, let's split up and tell everyone to get down on the spot and stay still. There is the sound of horseshoes in the distance, so someone must be coming."

Grandma Lanhua: "!!"

Without asking too much, he turned to Lan Hua and said, "Lan Hua, you go east, I'll go north!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and headed north, Lan Hua also hurriedly dropped the work she was doing, and trotted away in another direction.

Qingyan asked Chouchou to put away the untied ones through voice transmission, and don't move the tied ones first, and then come to chase her later.

He turned around and went in the opposite direction to the orchid.

Regardless of the fact that there are only a dozen of them in this line, because the land in Yangjiaping is quite large, everyone spread out in several directions, bundled them up and sent them to the boulder platform in the middle.

It was originally a place where the villagers played games, and the shifts left two men there to thresh, and they counted as much as they could collect before dawn.

The three of Qingyan and the others were in the south, and after running west for three or four minutes, they saw three people working there.

The three of them must have heard the movement, stopped what they were doing, and looked over vigilantly with their tools.

Fearing that they would not recognize them, Qingyan said directly from a distance: "It's me, you all should keep quiet, it's best to lie on the ground, there are horseshoes coming on the road."

The three answered in low voices, and lay down directly on the ground covered with wheat straw. The wheat grass is not high, and you can see above your shoulders when squatting. It is better to lie on the ground to be safer.

Fortunately, it was night. If it was daytime, people would be able to see it even if they were lying on their stomachs when they were sitting on tall horses.

Based on Qingyan's ear strength, the sound of the horse's hooves should be more than a mile away, and it is estimated that they will come over soon, and told them not to move as much as possible, and headed north.

Grandma Lanhua should have gone to Jushitai immediately. The sound of slapping and slapping has disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

When Qingyan found the villagers in the north, Grandma Lanhua had just arrived, and everyone was lying on the ground.

Because the sound of horseshoes was very close, the villagers also heard it.

The wheat next to it moved slightly, and everyone held their breath, fearing it might be a snake.

Although most of the snakes here are not poisonous, people are afraid of them.

The straw shook twice again, and a small white head poked out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Miss Xue's ugly monkey...
