Ye Jianqiu

135

"The flower rope is new, the square scarf is changed, the square scarf is broken, the thread pendant is changed, the thread pendant is messy, the noodles are cut, the noodles are less, the chicken feet are changed, the chicken feet always want to be planed, and the old cow trough is changed. The old cows come to graze. Said the flower rope turned well!"

I saw a pair of chubby hands with meat pits flying back and forth between the red ropes, dazzling people's eyes.

"Look! Turtle!"

Ye Xiaoxi smiled happily, and there were two small dimples on her white and tender face.

"Xiaoxi, your hands are really skillful!"

A tall and strong man with scars at the corners of his eyes sitting opposite Ye Xiaoxi praised him sincerely.

"Old Liu, your hands are too clumsy, like an old wooden beam, you can't even turn noodles well!"

Ye Xiaoxi murmured with his red mouth, lowered his head and hand-held to teach the other party to turn the flower rope, big old Liu couldn't help feeling funny seeing his big dark hands being pinched by a pair of small soft hands.

"Xiaoxi, I'm not old, so just call me Brother Liu from now on. I'm only in my [-]s."

"You're only twenty? Not like that! Like forty!"

Seeing Ye Xiaoxi staring at her face with wide eyes in disbelief, Big Brother Liu was hit hard.

"Your brother Liu only looks old, but not physically old!"

"That's right! When Sister Wanzhen brought you to the house to pick us up that day, I knew how strong you were, and you carried me to the farm in one breath."

The elder Liu laughed and said, "At that time you were so scared that you hid behind the door and cried. I thought you were a child. I never thought you were fourteen!"

Ye Xiaoxi said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not young! Sister Wanzhen sees that you always take care of me as if I were a child, and always put the two of us together on duty. You don't know how to play anything. Sitting here in the reception room is boring. died!"

Elder Liu was helpless: "Xiaoxi, it's a light job to be on duty in the reception room. Others can't do it! Brother Liu will take you to hunt rabbits after work. Now the pasture is full of rabbit holes. Rabbits can not only feed Laomu and the others, but also improve the food on the farm. Now most of the people on the farm are old and weak women, we men have to be the pillars, and we can’t let a woman in charge of Xiaoye support us men.”

Ye Xiaoxi snorted and said: "Miss Wanzhen is not a weak woman, she is fierce and fierce! How can there be a woman who is not afraid that the orcs will take us all to the farm?"

Da Lao Liu showed shame on his face: "That's right, if she hadn't proposed to bring back the family members of the legion, the few remaining workers of ours didn't consider the safety of those family members. It's really shameful."

Although Ye Jianqiu temporarily handed over the management of the farm to Cao Wu, the facts proved that Cao Wu is an "executor" who can only obey orders, but not a "leader" who can preside over the overall situation.Since almost all the people on the farm have disappeared, the dilapidated farm has been abandoned day by day. Cao Wu is very distressed but at a loss what to do.

So Ye Wanzhen took the lead and gritted her teeth to become the second manager Ye.

After she took office, the first thing she did was to take Cao Wu, Shitou and the remaining workers to bring the family members of the legion to the farm, and even went to her hometown of Xituer Village. All brought.

As the farm population increased again, Ye Wanzhen imitated her elder brother and held meetings in the conference room every day.

Ye Wanzhen felt that she had a great responsibility. She not only had to feed the hundred and ten people, but also arranged for the new members to start labor and production. More importantly, she had to do everything possible to protect the safety of the family members who trusted her.

Under her command, all the young and strong men began to repair the collapsed workshops and fertile fields, and continued to cultivate the land and grow food; the mother-in-law and the family members of the army weaved and cut clothes all day long, and made shoes for quilts; Aunt Li and Da Niu helped cook in the kitchen , kneading steamed buns and pickling pickles; Ma Youdao and Master Sanbang are responsible for going to the pasture to catch rabbits and raise livestock every day to make rations for those beastmen; Uncle Jingshi teaches the children to read and write in the tent. After school, the children also have to carry baskets Go to the river beach to pick up leftover chicken, duck and goose eggs.

Since the fertile poultry no longer return to their nests, they have turned back into wild aggressive birds. They live in the grass by the river, eating grass seeds and drinking river water when they are hungry, so a large number of eggs are left in the grass nests.

When the poultry are full, they want to eat meat, and they fight with their neighbors in the river, the black tiger fish, all day long. During the fierce battle between water, land and air, the clever little guys sent by the farm steal eggs. He even picked up more than 200 poultry eggs!

Sitting on a chair, Xiaoxi lowered his head and slowly untied the tangled red thread, pouted and said, "Actually, I like stealing eggs by the river the most, but Miss Wanzhen entrusts ten-year-olds with this good work." The following kids did it. The kid named Huzi also said that he raised the most beautiful little black tiger fish. As soon as he went to steal eggs, the little black tiger fish climbed ashore to play with him. angry!"

In fact, the black tiger fish does not hurt the people on the farm. After a long time, some people even dare to touch the black tiger fish that come ashore occasionally. Ye Xiaoxi is very jealous of having a majestic black tiger fish cub.

Suddenly, Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "By the way, sister Wanzhen thought of a way to tie Lao Mu's mouth and paws with ropes, and let him fly into the sky! And that coyote, Lao Yuan, The marsupial lions, Xu and the others, were also tied up and placed on the pasture for them to have fun and catch rabbits. It would be interesting to see that they couldn't eat the urgent purring from their mouths. I would also fly the old wood as a kite to play later. "

Da Lao Liu said with a serious face: "Xiaoxi, it's not for fun. Manager Xiaoye is taming animals. At first, Lao Mu and the others bit Manager Xiaoye several times because they didn't eat rabbit meat. In the end, Manager Xiaoye was so determined to let them After starving for a few days, they beat them with a whip until Lao Mu and the others became obedient! Now Lao Mu and the others not only ate rabbit meat, but they were not afraid of fire anymore! At night, Manager Xiaoye led them with a rope It is very safe and obedient to go out to watch the night. When Lao Mu, the eagle bird, is tamed, it can be used as a messenger and sentinel for our farm! And Da Xu and the others, they are ferocious beasts that can protect our farm."

Xiaoxi chuckled, showing her small white teeth that looked like broken rice: "Well, sister Wanzhen is so bold, now Lao Mu and the others don't eat any of them, they only eat the rabbit meat fed by sister Wanzhen... By the way, Wanzhen Sister Zhen told me to go to the school to learn how to read with Uncle Jing Shi after work, and you should go too, let's learn together!"

"It's good, but there are not many blacksmiths left on this farm. I have to forge iron with your brother Shitou after the shift, and learn to read after the work is done."

"I'll wait for you to go with me, and I'll leave you a warm meal in the cafeteria."

"Xiaoxi, you are really sensible!"

"Well, who told you to be my savior!"

When the two of them were chatting casually, they only heard the sound of eager knocking on the small window that hadn't been moved for many days.

Ye Xiaoxi and Da Lao Liu looked at each other in surprise: "There is a visitor! Brother Liu, get ready a pen and paper, and write down the visitor's name."

"I can't read..."

Elder Liu helplessly spread out the pen and paper.

"It's okay, let the visitor write it himself!"

Xiaoxi opened the small window excitedly, poked his head out and said in surprise, "Hey, why is it Uncle Ye? What's the matter with you, Uncle Ye?"

I saw Ye Dashan anxiously said outside the wall: "Xiaoxi, is Manager Ye from your farm here? We have something important to look for."

"Guan Ye? Yes! Yes! I'll call!"

Ye Xiaoxi slammed the small window shut, and said nervously: "Brother Liu, hurry up and call Sister Wanzhen, that Uncle Ye has brought a large group of officers and soldiers outside, I'm afraid!"

"Is it a soldier from the government office?"

"No! I don't know any of them!"

"Don't panic, Xiaoxi, I'll go find Guanshi Ye!"

When Ye Dashan saw the small window closed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Lu Chao with a shy smile, "Master Lu, you see that my old man didn't lie to you, that Manager Ye is at the farm!"

With a sullen face, Lu Chao just slowly turned the finger on his thumb, thinking to himself, if Ye Jianqiu was really on the farm, he would be in trouble. His heavy weapons and chariots had already been dispatched to Qilibao, and part of his troops went to chase after him. After leaving Cao Da, there were only a few dozens of cavalry around him. It seemed that they could only defend by driving beasts.

After a while, the small window was opened again, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Who is looking for me?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Dashan couldn't help being surprised: "Er Niu? Why are you here? Where's your elder brother?"

Ye Wanzhen ignored Ye Dashan, but said: "I am Guanshi Ye, what do you want from me?"

A sharp halberd appeared in front of the small window, and a sergeant shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, and call that Ye Jianqiu out!"

Only a "pop" was heard, and the small window was closed firmly from the inside again.Everyone is helpless, this farm is guarded by one man, and no one can open it.

Lu Chao immediately got off his horse, kicked Ye Dashan to the ground without any explanation, took out a knife and stabbed Ye Dashan hard on his arm!

Ye Dashan howled like a slaughtered pig, fell to the ground and rolled back and forth: "Murderer! Killer! Er Niu, save father!"

"stop!"

After hearing an angry shout, the small window finally opened again, Ye Wanzhen said angrily: "Don't you want to find my elder brother, he's not here! He went to find Chaoge!"

After Lu Chao wiped the bloody knife on Ye Dashan's body, he said unhurriedly: "The stinky girl is talking nonsense, that Chaoge is the prince of Chi, why didn't Ye Jianqiu go to Situ Jin to serve the country? And go find people from Chi country to fight against me, Qingluan?"

"My eldest brother has married Chao Ge, why can't he meet his family?"

Lu Chao was in a great headache. He was worried that Ye Jianqiu would be in cahoots with Situ Jin, but he didn't expect that he would have such a deep connection with Chi Kingdom!

Ye Dashan, who was lying on the ground and wailing bitterly, suddenly got up again, lay down in front of the small window with a face full of sand and excitedly, and said, "Er Niu! Is what you said true? Your elder brother really became a king!" Husband? Hey! I already knew that the ancestors of the Ye family had accumulated virtues!"

Seeing Ye Dashan smiling so happily, Ye Wanzhen felt chills, she knew that Ye Dashan's appearance here must be a good thing!Sure enough, not only did he attract murderous officers and soldiers, but when he heard that his eldest brother had become a prince, he immediately changed into a joyful look regardless of the pain in his body!

What makes Ye Wanzhen even more chilling is that since she ran away, Ye Dashan and Niu never thought of looking for her.She knew that Ye Dashan and Niu were living a good life now, the common people all said that he was the guardian of the sacred tree, he was enshrined day and night, and he was not short of food and clothing.Even so, Ye Dashan never asked anyone to inquire about her!So, she hid behind the woods and watched Ye Dashan and Niu Shi silently for a long time, and finally left.

At this time, Lu Chao grabbed Ye Dashan, took out a knife and pressed it on his neck, threatening: "Stinky girl, open the door! Otherwise, stab him to death!"

Ye Dashan cried bitterly: "Er Niu, Dad misses you so much! Save Dad!"

"Second girl, Shuanzi misses his second sister every day!"

"Er Niu, your mother sheds tears every night for you, her eyes are almost blind from crying..."

Ye Wanzhen just said calmly: "This military lord, as I said before, the eldest brother is not here!"

Lu Chao said calmly, "Stop talking, open the door!" After speaking, the sharp blade made another cut on Ye Dashan's neck.

"I'll just open the door! If you enter the farm and can't find my elder brother, you will be responsible for the consequences! The rules of our farm have always been easy to enter and difficult to exit!" Ye Wanzhen gritted her teeth, this army ruffian will really kill Ye Dashan!

As the first and second iron gates of the farm slowly opened, Lu Chao and others finally got their wish and entered the farm.

Ye Daniu and Shitou rushed over after receiving Xiaoxi's report, and when they saw Ye Dashan, they immediately took him away to bandage him.That Ye Dashan didn't realize that he was injured, but kept asking: "Big girl, Shitou! Is it true that your elder brother became King Chi's wife? But really?"

Ye Daniu didn't speak, just nodded silently, Ye Dashan smiled proudly, he really didn't expect that after he escaped life and death again, he would be promoted from the guardian of the sacred tree to the head of the country of Chi!That is the real royal family and nobles!Royal family and nobility! !

Ye Dashan was about to go crazy with joy, and he kept muttering: "Oh, how can I do this, how can I do this... If someone comes from the Chi Kingdom Palace, your father doesn't have any good clothes..."

Da Niu Ye finally burst into tears, sobbing and persuading: "Father, don't dream, big brother doesn't recognize you."

"He dares! If he doesn't recognize me as a father, I will hang myself at the gate of the Chi Kingdom's palace, and let his reputation stink!"

Shitou said angrily: "Father, don't make big brother angry anymore! Since you are here, stay at the farm and don't cause trouble!"

Shitou and Da Niu were both angry and helpless, and they were really tormented by such a vain father.

And Lu Chao and others couldn't help but marvel after entering the farm, it really is a paradise on earth!

I saw that the farm was clean and tidy, the road was wide and straight, and the lawn was trimmed and green.

The trunk of the tall ginkgo tree is wrapped with a circle of hemp rope, and the crown of the tree is covered with golden gongsun fruits.Chrysanthemums were planted on both sides of the roadside. At this time, clusters of bowl-sized chrysanthemums were in full bloom. Thousands of finger-sized moths and butterflies danced among the bright flowers. When the horse passed by, It's really a place where flowers fall, and horseshoes carry the fragrance of flowers.

The hundreds of acres of fields in the distance are neatly manicured, and the green winter wheat is growing well. The most eye-catching thing is the vegetable garden of more than ten acres, which are full of big green radishes and cabbages. It is about half a meter above the ground, and the dark green radish tassels are puffed up, taller than a person!The Chinese cabbage, which is tied up with the leaves and wrapped in the heart, is bigger than a wine jar. I am afraid that it will take two people to carry a cabbage away!

There is also a persimmon forest by the roadside.

At this time, the leaves of the persimmons have all fallen off, and the thick, male, old, black trunks are covered with bright red fruits with hoarfrost like lanterns, and the numerous fruits are shining red light on the branches. There are flocks of birds in the fruit forest, chirping non-stop.

The thick straw mats on the greenhouses have been rolled away, and the rare melons and fruits inside are bathed in warm sunlight, and the workshop is also emitting white smoke... What is even more surprising is that there are still rumors from a distance. Come to the sound of reading aloud!

Standing under the blue sky and white clouds, smelling the fragrance of flowers, listening to the chirping of birds, and looking at the old people drying grain and the young children playing on the side of the road, Lu Chao thought to himself, Ye Jianqiu really has re-melted. If you can't subdue the power, you must not be used by others!

As Lu Chao rode forward slowly, he quietly looked at Ye Wanzhen beside him.Seeing this little girl, Jingchai Commoner, with a fair and pretty face, although she is not very old, her hands are very rough, and she is thin and thin, she looks like a typical village girl, and she can't help feeling a little contemptuous.

He opened his mouth and said: "Guan Ye, since your elder brother Ye Jianqiu possesses thaumaturgy, I hope you take the initiative to invite him out. Our Lu family army will not only treat him kindly, but also arrange important positions in the army for him, and reward him." A big house, hundreds of servants, ten thousand taels of gold, our Lu family will take your family to Mianzhou Prefecture to enjoy the blessings, and you, a little girl, don’t have to suffer to farm in Qingyang, why not be a rich and well-clothed eldest lady?”

Ye Wanzhen sneered secretly in her heart, Lu Chao was really blind, did she think she was a silly girl who had never seen the world!

"Thank you Master Lu for your kindness, but the little girl can't be the boss of the big brother."

"In this case, I will not be polite."

After speaking, Lu Chao took out the bamboo flute from his pocket and played it on his lips. Soon, the black rat beasts came from all directions again!

Ye Wanzhen bit her lips in hatred, if it wasn't for Ye Dashan, Lu Chao would not have been able to get in with his soldiers and horses, let alone attract so many monsters!

I saw the black beast running around the farm, and soon, all the employees in the tent ran out screaming, not only the good day who was swearing, but also Situ Jin's slightly trembling old lady Lou!Lou Shi was carefully supported by Caishuang, his face was pale and he coughed again and again.

Seeing that the people on the farm were frightened, Ye Wanzhen secretly clenched her fists, her eyes showing a murderous look.Since Ye Wanzhen was a child, she was the one who must take revenge, so this beam is finally settled!

When those ferocious beasts turned back one after another, Lu Chao understood that they hadn't found any place for Tibetans.But Lu Chao did not take back the order, but let those fierce beasts bite the people!The women and children were so frightened that they screamed and cried loudly!

Ye Wanzhen said angrily: "Master Lu, why don't you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but attack us unarmed and weak people? If you are not here, you can find it elsewhere!"

Lu Chao smiled and said: "I, Lu Chao, have been played around by your father and daughter, and you are a relative of the Chi Kingdom, so why not have a good time playing on the farm, and the death of a few relatives of the Chi Kingdom will also count as killing my Qingluan!"

Ye Wanzhen said angrily: "Just tell them to stop, I'll take you to the cold storage of the farm! There is a secret room there, and my elder brother hides there."

Lu Chao laughed triumphantly: "You girl, you should have said it earlier, but Brother Lu will definitely make it unnecessary." What a country girl who doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin!

When Lu Chao withdrew the order, many people on the farm had already been injured.

Ye Wanzhen lowered her head and quietly led the way forward. When she was halfway on the road, she suddenly pointed to the front and said, "That's right there. Go in and have a look."

Lu Chao only saw fruit forests on both sides of the road, so there was no shadow of a cold storage!Can't help cursing: "Smelly girl, where is the cold storage?"

She only heard her shout: "Old Xu!"

At this time, a lion-haired orc leaped out from the fruit forest, Ye Wanzhen immediately jumped on its back, lowered her head and tightly grasped the long mane of its neck, shrunk its figure down, and ran away at a fast speed!

Lu Chao couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hey! As expected of the surname Ye, he even tamed the beastman!"

Lu Chao sneered and picked up the bow and arrow to aim, and saw that Ye Wanzhen was very smart. She lay next to the orc's ear and directed it to run back and forth in a zigzag shape, making Lu Chao unable to aim with the arrow.

He had no choice but to put down his bow and arrow and said, "Chase!"

"Yes!"

When everyone was about to leave the fruit forest with the lion-shaped orc, the sergeant galloping in front suddenly fell heavily to the ground with both men and horses!

"No, stumbling block!"

It turned out that the people who had ambushed in the fruit forest for a long time threw a lot of tripping studs on the road after Ye Wanzhen ran past. I saw that these tripping studs made of bronze were very ingeniously designed. There were four long studs in total. The thorns are shaped like chicken feet, as long as it falls on the ground, there will always be a sharp edge facing upwards.When the cavalry arrived, the horseshoes would be smashed and people would fall off!

Because Lu Chao and the others galloped their horses too fast, before they pulled the reins to stop the horses, they saw a series of tripping ropes being pulled up from the sand again, and as another group of soldiers were tripped by the tight tripping ropes, Seeing the soil under their feet suddenly loosen, and the horses neighing, almost everyone was trapped in a huge sandpit!

In desperation, Lu Chao stepped on his horse's belly and wanted to jump from the bottom of the cave, when he saw a big net falling from the sky!

It's over!Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the gutter!

Lu Chao, who fell into the bottom of the cave, cursed secretly, and saw that there were pointed wooden deeds standing upside down on the ground. Not only were the legs of the fallen horses broken and pierced through, several sergeants closest to him had been pierced. hedgehog!If he hadn't reacted in time to jump on the horse, he would have been pierced through!

At this time, a piercing sound of flute came from the bottom of the cave, and the group of black beasts swarmed to follow the sound, biting the big net desperately, and even some fierce beasts quickly dug out a big hole in the ground, trying to rescue their master.

Seeing this, Cao Wu, who was hiding in the dark, immediately commanded: "Start the trebuchet and throw oil bombs at those black beasts!"

Xiao Wen and a few people ran to the tall trebuchet, one of them released the oil bomb, and the other jumped heavily from the fruit tree. The flaming black oil bomb was accurately ejected into the pile of black beasts!

Just hearing a "bang", a raging fire suddenly ignited in the group of fierce beasts!The group of ferocious beasts immediately blew up their nests, and the burning rat beasts fell into the bunker like big fireballs, and there were screams in the bunker immediately!And those rat beasts left on the ground took the flames and ran straight towards the Liusha River to escape, and jumped into the rolling sand river without hesitation and fed them all to the black tiger fish!

Finally, there was no sound of the bamboo flute in the pit, and those subordinates who were lucky enough not to fall into the horse pit turned red-eyed, swung their knives and rushed to the place where the tents were densest, ready to kill innocent people!

"Kill them! Pay for General Lu's life!"

At this time, only the sound of beating copper basins was heard in the distance, a group of cattle and sheep with weapons tied to their horns and firecrackers on their tails rushed towards them again, and the firecrackers on the goats were crackling non-stop. Pi and Niu lowered their heads and stabbed desperately with their long horns, and the frightened horses began to run wildly.

When Lu Chao's subordinates were completely defeated, they loudly begged for peace: "Guan Ye, I will withdraw after we lift General Lu's body out, and we will never fight again!"

"Don't even think about it! Those who offend my farm will come and go!!"
