Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 166

hot, really hot!

Even though it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching above the head, and the blue sky had no clouds at all.

At this moment, Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang were drenching muddy water and walking side by side in the rice field.The two bent down from time to time, pulled up weeds and threw them on the ridge next to them.

They manage more than [-] acres of paddy fields. Besides watering, they are also responsible for weeding.

Fortunately, this cliff ditch belongs to dry land before, and it also grows terrestrial weeds.Now that the fields are flooded with water, most of the weeds are drowned and cannot grow at all.

In addition, in the first year of planting rice, there has not been any heavy cropping, and there are not many aquatic weeds, only a few species such as barnyardgrass, Polygonum and sedge.

Especially weeds, which grow taller than rice seedlings, are very conspicuous in the field, and it doesn't take much effort to catch a handful.

In just half an hour, they cleared more than an acre of land.

Liu Xiangyang was busy when he suddenly felt an itchy calf.He lowered his head subconsciously, and then jumped up: "Brother Wang, look at my legs, there are leeches!"

He kicked it several times, but seeing that he still couldn't get rid of it, Liu Xiangyang stretched out his hand to pull it again.

Fortunately, a few wooden beams were used in the construction of the thatched shed, which can withstand the impact of hail.

"Okay, Liu Xiangyang." Wang Manyin would naturally agree if he didn't have a meal.Besides, based on the relationship between the two, it is really used to excuse back and forth.

The white clouds dissipated and the sun reappeared in the sky, giving people a warm feeling.

When the rain subsides, we will naturally take shelter from the rain.

Even if it is really stolen, it will be sold out. Nowadays, private individuals confiscate scrap copper and scrap iron.

It feels that the difference is less, and Brother Wang plans to look for it again.

In fact, a light rain is quite bad, and it cannot give relief to the dry crops under the plateau.

Taking advantage of the stewing time, Brother Wang soaked two handfuls of ground meat in boiling water to soften them, took them out and dried them, then chopped two cloves of garlic, chopped a few scallions, and poured two tablespoons of sesame oil.

Xiao Huang felt even worse, and hurriedly stuck his head into the door.

Eight or two times, he turned that guy right.

When half a pot of chicken soup boiled down slowly, the fragrance also ended to permeate outside the cave dwelling.

Since Dongshanmao built more than ten acres of rice fields, the animals outside the cliff ditch in the distance have gradually decreased.

The hailstorm came and went slowly.

Although there are temporary guards over the rice fields, there is nothing trivial about it.Except for the two quilts outside the straw shed, there are not a few clothes.

The bad thing is that there is no cover, and the broken babies are completely in danger.

Afterwards, Lan Hua also shouted: "Man Yin, come out slowly and look, there is nothing in the world!"
In just a few minutes, it turned into a strong wind.Small groups of dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, followed by lightning and thunder.

In the sunshine, the layer of hail on the ground is conspicuous.

Those mugwort were originally kept to repel mosquitoes at night, but now they are of great use.Soon, thick smoke billowed outside the thatched shed, and several people were choked and sneezed.

It is certain that no one is walking inside at the moment, and they will definitely be smashed with small bags all over their heads.

After I finished speaking, Gu Shixia and Cong Minyishao explained, reached out and grabbed the thin quilt under the kang, went straight out the door, and ran towards the broken children in the rice field canal.

Brother Wang poked the pheasant with his chopsticks, and put some vermicelli outside.

Hailstorms hit the Loess Plateau almost every summer.Especially when harvesting wheat, the hailstones crackled and smashed indiscriminately, and the wheat could be smashed into bare poles, and the ground was full of wheat grains, which could only be buckled from the soil bit by bit by people.

Very slowly, the raindrops and raindrops became more and more sparse, and the sky became darker and darker.

Cong Minyi wasn't worried either. A hailstorm would probably interrupt the few crops outside the earth.It's too bad because the earing hasn't finished yet, the problem should be too small.

For us, the rain is simply a hindrance.At that time, not many loaches came out of the cave, which was a bad opportunity to catch them.

"Bad guy, I am ashamed to be Xiao Huang, who caught a bird in the blink of an eye." Seeing the situation, Wang Manyin couldn't help admiring.

Some of them fell outside the cracks of the ground, but all the buckles were buckled back, which can make farmers feel distressed to death.

I was busy when suddenly the wind picked up.

As for pepper seeds, they are expensive.There are very few people who are willing to use them, and they are exchanged for money by the supply and marketing cooperatives before picking.

"Xiangyang, it's a bad idea. I made his quilt wet." Touching the damp quilt, Brother Wang hastily apologized.

As soon as he walked a hundred meters away, the earth dog lost his harvest.

In just seven to 10 minutes, a small part of the hailstones melted.

Before dividing the remaining birds, the two walked towards the village.

With the help of Wang Manyin, Brother Wang quickly cleaned up the pheasants and hares.Waiting for the pot to be served, Zhengbai Lanhua and Duoan are back.

"Uncle Man Yin, you are afraid of the rain. Now the loaches have come out..."

Before some persuasion, Duo'an also stayed to accompany him.

Slap, knock down the leech directly.

The group of broken children regained their energy and rushed inside one by one, grabbing the hailstone and stuffing it out of their mouths, making a sucking sound.

Seeing a few guys shivering from the cold, I asked Cong Minyi to light the bundle of wormwood against the wall to keep warm.

Before retreating into the grass shed, the wet clothes under those guys were blown by the hot wind, making them shiver.

Xiao Huang ran around inside, then slowly returned to his master, and opened his mouth to throw a dead sparrow.

Wang Manyin comforted him speechlessly.

When the sun slowly set, Xiao Huang found more than ten dead birds.Except for the quail, there were not many sparrows, rock pigeons, and even a half-dead pheasant.

But that guy waited for Xiao Huang to get close, he ran towards the big hand, and disappeared outside the cliff ditch in an instant.

Surely a slap is fine, so let's give it another slap.

Whether Wang Manyin was firm or not, he walked down the field ridge upon hearing this.

"What am I supposed to be, just a leech, it's no big deal. Don't move around, I'll take a picture for you!"

But before that incident, Wang Manyin was so worried that he kept looking out of the water when weeding.

After the leeches fell into the water, I pulled out a barnyard grass stalk, poked it at the sucker, and stroked forward.

Feeling that there are not too many dishes for seven people and two dishes, Brother Wang thought about it, and took out eight melons and cut them into slices, sprinkled some sugar on the bottom, and it was also a platter.

So when he found out that something was right, Brother Wang reacted almost immediately.

I thought for a while and said: "Xiangyang, we have known each other for so long, and I invited him to dinner at home, so I just stewed the pheasant and rock pigeon. As for my dead bird, let those broken children share it and take it back." let's go home."

Even Big Brother Wang picked one up and put it in his mouth uninterestedly.It's cool, and it doesn't taste like popsicles. If you add some sugar to the outside, it will go bad.

While it was still early, Wang Manyin took the quilt inside to dry again.

As for the wound under Wang Manyin's calf, before bleeding some blood, it stopped very slowly, what treatment was used for it.

When walking through a ditch, he saw a group of four children still squatting by the water to catch fish. Brother Wang urged him loudly, "It's going to rain soon, so they don't want to catch them. Go home quickly, don't worry about catching a cold in the rain."

So, a group of people followed Xiao Huang and searched seven places along Dongshan Maoyagou.

The mountains became muddy, and the crowd became more and more excited.

At that time, Xiao Huang knew where he was running back from, and he also slowly retreated outside the shed to shelter from the rain, shaking his wet dog fur constantly.

"Okay, it's going to rain lightly, let's go back quickly." Seeing that the weather was right, Brother Wang hurriedly said.The farm work of the two of them will be supervised, and they can do as little or as much as they want, as long as they need to be exposed to rain.

That trick, Brother Wang used to use it when he was young, he couldn't kill the leeches with big hands.

Brother Wang was cooking the pot alone and took the chef, poured half a spoonful of oil, and before frying it back and forth, I added water to stew the pheasant rock pigeon meat, and threw a handful of dried pepper leaves.

Thinking of several guys shaking their heads one after another, they didn't mean to leave at all.

Seeing those guys scurrying around like flies with heads, Brother Wang yelled softly: "Run towards you, come over there!!"

This leech may have been mixed into the rice field when pumping water.

Just as I was running, the group of broken babies also covered their heads and let out screams crying for their parents and mothers.

Seeing that the persuasion is to move those guys, Brother Wang also cares.

Isn't it common sense that there are leeches in rice fields?Not worth the fuss at all.In fact, there are also leeches in the Dongla River, but they were often cut off in the past, so they were relatively rare.

When Brother Wang thought about it, it was really impossible.

Listening to the crackling sound of the roof of the straw shed, and seeing the small hailstones falling up and down at the door, I also realized that the problem was minor.

Before Liu Xiangyang stood still, Brother Wang bent down and stretched out his hand, and slapped him hard.

While he was busy, he suddenly heard Duo'an's shout from the cave, "Look, what is this!"

As for the pumping equipment placed inside, it is estimated that someone would dare to steal it.

The hailstones hit under the quilt, making a dull sound.

Hearing the sound of rain falling on the ceiling was right, Big Brother Wang subconsciously looked towards the door, and then his face changed a little: "It's so terrible, there's a hailstorm!!"

Accompanied by the shout, I took out the speed of the [-]-meter sprint.After more than ten seconds, the big hand came behind a few broken babies.Brother Wang completely stretched out the quilt in his hands, covering us all in it, and walked towards the thatched shed.

Hearing this, Wang Manyin was overjoyed: "Liu Xiangyang, the hailstorm just now was quite slow. Did you think the pheasants and rabbits would be killed? What if we took Xiao Huang to look for it?"

Following the guy's guidance, everyone saw that there was not a single quail lying quietly outside the grass in the big hand behind, moving constantly, obviously killed by the hailstone.

That is the most complicated way to deal with leeches, and it is much slower than sprinkling salt and chili powder.

Just those few birds, there is a way to divide them.

Rabbit or something, I've seen one too.

After removing the dead quail, several bird eggs were found outside the nest.

"It's something, Liu Xiangyang, it can be covered after drying it out at night!" Wang Manyin was also concerned.

After a few minutes of hard work, a cold dish is made soft.

When a few broken clothes were almost dry, the crackling sound gradually subsided.

In fact, there are not many pepper trees planted outside my space. They have just grown to the thickness of a finger, and it is estimated that it will take two to eight years to bear pepper.

Two minutes after the two returned to the thatched shed, Dou Xiao's raindrops stopped falling.

No hailstone can be as small as an egg, but it can destroy crops and kill people.

In those days, there were no seasonings in the countryside, especially pepper leaves to remove the fishy smell. Brother Wang made a lot of them when he retreated to the mountains.

It's just that the terrain is relatively simple, there are too few places to hide, and it is difficult for Xiao Huang to display his strength normally.As for the peregrine falcon next time, it is purely intentional.

Afraid of setting the shed on fire, Brother Wang was also very cautious when warming himself up by the fire.

***
Brother Wang picked up the sparrow and pinched it twice, shook his head and said, "It's been a while since I died, and my body has hardened. Xiao Huanggang caught it, and he should have been crushed to death by the hailstone."
