Chapter 45: The Three Rivers
I hugged Xiaobai and followed quickly, and walked out of the big hole. I saw that there was a bamboo forest outside. There was foggy everywhere, and there was only a small sheep farm path.
After following Huang Tianlin for a while, I suddenly felt a dazed moment in front of me, and then it was a dizzy turn. When I woke up again, I found myself lying in the pit with a slight ridge, with a piece of black wood pressing under my head.
I reached out and touched the back of my head. I had already raised a big bag and stood up with force. I felt so weak that I had no strength at all.
After trying to call Xiaobai and Huang Tianlin for a moment, I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were still there, I grabbed the edge of the pit and climbed up hard.
I was kicking my feet and exerting force when Sister Xiaoyao's big face suddenly appeared in front of me.
She looked a little embarrassed, her ponytail had spread, the scattered hair in front of her forehead was wet with sweat, and her face was a little pale, but her eyes were filled with relief.
"All the thing is, you can fall into such an obvious ditch and even dizzy. It's such a waste." Sister Xiaoyao said while pulling me.
I want to cry but I don’t want to.
...
Master Liu was sucked away by Huang Tianlin, and no one came to make trouble again. The Huangxian Temple was soon built, and Boss Wang's affairs came to an end.
In order to express his gratitude, Boss Wang generously gave Sister Xiaoyao one million.
I was so humbled by this number. Many people may not be able to make so much money by working in their entire lives. But after thinking about how many times I lingered between life and death, I felt relieved. This is money for life.
Sister Xiaoyao gave me 200,000, which I never expected. I thought it was only one thousand or eight hundred, but who knew that Sister Xiaoyao was so generous.
Sister Xiaoyao said that although I am a rotten wood, I am quite considerate and worth cultivating.
Looking at the 200,000 yuan more in the bank card, I was puzzled and suddenly felt that this industry was good.
I asked Sister Xiaoyao what would happen to Master Zhou’s body if his soul is gone.
Sister Xiao Yao said that Master Zhou’s situation is different from losing his soul, and his body will die in seven days.
I felt a little heavy when I heard this. I indirectly killed Master Zhou. However, at that time, the situation was either you die or I died, and I had no other choice.
Sister Xiao Yao told me that the black wood that knocked me out was the eye of the formation, a hundred-year-old piece of locust wood. The locust wood itself gathered in the shade and was sacrificed by Master Zhou in a special way, and it has become a magic weapon.
But now that Master Zhou is dead, this magic weapon is naturally owned by Sister Xiao Yao.
After hearing what Xiaoyao explained, I realized that after the breeze sucked away the yin energy, many ghosts raised by Master Zhou appeared. Sister Xiaoyao was entangled and could not come to save me.
Sister Xiaoyao did not comment on what happened in the Yin-Comeing Formation, because Xiaobai explained to me in advance, don’t tell me about my sudden changes.
Although I don’t think there is anything wrong with telling Sister Xiaoyao, Xiaobai is my wife after all, so I had to bury this matter in my heart.
On the way back, Xiaobai said that what I gave her food was a bit difficult to digest and she needed to go back to the mountain to practice for a while.
I was a little reluctant to leave, but I couldn't force myself to stay, so Xiaobai left, leaving only Huang Tianlin with me.
Long-distance driving is actually a very boring thing, but I have to be with whom. Sister Xiaoyao didn't make me feel bored at all and kept scolding me along the way.
If it were someone else, I would have long suspected that I would have long been aware of my life, but I am a thick-skinned person and I don’t care about it at all when I go in and out of the left ear.
Halfway through the journey, Sister Xiaoyao answered a call and changed direction. I asked Sister Xiaoyao where she was going. Sister Xiaoyao said that she would go to Sanjiang and there was another business.
I asked if I could go back to my hometown first, and my clothes were going to go bad. Sister Xiaoyao said with extreme contempt that if you have money, you should buy new ones. The money for gas back and forth was enough, but it was not enough to delay things.
I thought it was right. I was really poor for too long and too serious, so I couldn't change my mind anyway.
I still know Sanjiang very well. There are countless rice planted in the plains there. I don’t know how many people have been raised. It can be said to be the largest granary in our country.
Farming depends on the weather. The bad times of the years are a disaster for farmers. Could it be that someone asks Sister Xiaoyao to help pray for rain? I guessed maliciously in my heart.
The highway along the way allowed us to get to the place soon. The urban area here is very different from other places. Eight of the ten stores are related to agriculture, agricultural machinery, labor protection supplies, and hardware stores...
There were groups of men and women sitting on the curb on the street, which was poking Dagang.
The so-called poaching is to wait for work to find yourself. Some of these people use rice transplanters, some pick up seedlings, and some replenish seedlings. The division of labor and prices are also different.
Sanjiang is not like my hometown. Farmers farm in large scale. Generally, they are too busy to work, so they will hire people. Some contact them by phone, and sometimes they just come to find someone who can’t find them.
I decided on long-term workers with the workers, negotiated the price, and directly pulled Wuling Hongguang into his own land.
Sister Xiaoyao took me around, found a store, and changed all our outfits. As for the clothes I changed, they were forced to throw them away in the trash can by Sister Xiaoyao.
After getting these things done, Sister Xiaoyao called again, added WeChat to the person, and opened the positioning.
Only after leaving the city did we realize that things were not that simple. There were many dirt roads that were not on the map, and many times the phone did not have signals, which resulted in the map not being updated in time.
Sister Xiaoyao and I wandered around for several hours, but finally got lost. Sister Xiaoyao was so angry that she scolded because her car had been covered with mud.
In desperation, we changed from finding a way to finding a signal. After contacting the employer, we were taken back to the land of his home after several twists and turns.
Surrounded by the endless rice fields, there are several broken houses with wooden boards and plastic cloth, and a large number of small cars.
When we came, the sun had not set, and a woman and two men were working in the field.
Judging from the behavior, the woman should be the boss lady because she is mainly responsible for commanding.
The ones who are still working in this season are basically long-term workers, just look at the water in and out, because the transplanting and replenishing seedlings have ended.
The woman saw two cars coming back, and left two senior workers and walked back along the ridge of the pond.
Sister Xiaoyao and I got off the car, and the employer invited us to come into the house and sit down.
Miss Xiaoyao and I followed the employer. The employer lifted the curtain, which was a piece of plastic cloth. A large amount of dust floated in the air, causing Miss Xiaoyao to frown.
When I entered the house, I saw that there was only one pot and a kang in the house, and the middle was symbolically separated by plastic cloth.
There are no bricks and stones on the ground, but there are earth, screws, sickle heads, shoulder poles that are being trampled... all kinds of tools are chaoticly distributed in various places.
The whole house was just a little cleaner with kang mats. Sister Xiaoyao sat at the head of the kang and looked at the employer.
At this moment, the boss's wife entered the house. Although the wind and sun made her face look a little dark, it is undeniable that she is very beautiful, half-mist, with a kind of beauty that still has charm and a figure that is not distorted.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, the conditions here are all like this. I'm sorry for you. I'll boil some boiling water for you." The boss's wife seemed very enthusiastic.
The employer scratched his head, with a simple smile exclusive to the farmers on his face, "Girl, what do we think about it? Do you want to have a horoscope or something?"
Although the employer and the boss lady both look very enthusiastic, I always feel something is wrong. How can I say it? I feel that their smiles are a bit fake.
Sister Xiaoyao shook her head, "No need for horoscopes, just say it if you have something to do."
The employer was a little stunned when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment on his face. As a person in the industry, I certainly know what he is worried about. Generally, the great gods will report the eight characters to others first. This is also a test for the great god. If the great god can't see anything from the eight characters, the victim will definitely not believe it.
Sister Xiaoyao is like a savage, how could she not understand this? She rolled her eyes and said, "When did you kill someone, how did you kill him? You have come to me, what else can you say?"
The employer's expression instantly solidified, and at the same time, a bang came from the kitchen outside, as if something had fallen.
I almost subconsciously took a few steps back, darn! This seemingly honest guy is actually a murderer!
Silence, lengthy silence, the expression on the employer's face has been changing all the time, just like singing an opera.
My back was completely wet with cold sweat, and I was wondering what to do if my employer killed someone and silenced me.
If I only deal with him, I am still a little sure. Although he looks big and thick, I am not a vegetarian either.
But there is also a sister Xiao Yao next to me. If the boss calls on two long-term workers outside, I will not be sure to take Sister Xiao Yao out and escape.
Sister Xiaoyao didn't know what she was thinking, so she crossed her legs and stared at the employer calmly.
After about five minutes of touching, the employer finally spoke, "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to hack him some money, but I didn't expect..."
The employer's surname is Zhang, so let's call him Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang's father is a native of Sanjiang. In many places, Lao Zhang, who had never read any books, naturally took over his ancestral property and because of some savings, he married a famous beauty in all corners of the countryside, the boss's wife.
Farming is a metaphysics. No one can guarantee how much food you can get at the end of the year. Although there are few natural disasters in the Sanjiang Plain, there are few, but not few.
Once you encounter a real natural disaster, the more land you have, the greater the loss, and you will be able to make you cry and cry.
A few years ago, a rare disaster was encountered here. In fact, due to geographical location, the rice here was neither afraid of drought nor waterlogged, but it fell that year, hail, which was bigger than kidney beans.
The rice seedlings could not withstand such a large hail smash. Almost all the rice seedlings that had already formed ears were broken. At that time, it was too late to re-sow. It can be foreseeable that this was almost a year of no harvest.
