Shaoqiu walked up the mountain. At this time, the night was vast, a few fireworks were scattered, a wisp of wind blew gently, and the autumn leaves rustled. But when I stood in my own field, I found countless people standing in front of me, pulling out cold potatoes and eating them.
"What are you doing?" Shaoqiu shouted. However, these people did not panic. Instead, they accused Shaoqiu of being rude and said that the reason why they entered the Liangshu Field was entirely due to their ignorance. Otherwise, they would definitely not have come.
"Get out!" Shaoqiu roared. When people heard Shaoqiu's roar, they didn't dare to stay in this big field for a while. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to be thought of as a thief.
"Why are you so mean? We came here this time entirely to follow God's will. If God hadn't sent a dream last night and asked us to come to your field to eat sweet potatoes, why would we be like this?" People said this. said.
"Yes, God has said that if we don't eat your cold potatoes, you and all of us will die. Otherwise, why would we be like this?" people said.
Hearing people talking like this, Shaoqiu was silent for a while. At this time, he sat on a stone and watched the people gradually go away, feeling very uncomfortable. Why do the sweet potatoes you grow by yourself become everyone's? You can't complain about it, otherwise, people may even fall out with you!
However, seeing that Shaoqiu himself had already gone up the mountain, people immediately left. Otherwise, they would be like robbers, but they wouldn't be quite right, right? Shaoqiu spent a day digging sweet potatoes in the mountains. It would be a big deal if he didn't sell the sweet potatoes.
After the sun went down, Shaoqiu returned to his house carrying a load of sweet potatoes, but because he was afraid that people would steal his sweet potatoes again, he walked into Uncle Hua's house again. Asking him to go out and help him look at the cold potatoes on the mountain, otherwise, people would steal them for no reason, which can be said to be quite uneconomical. But after walking into Uncle Hua's house, I found that Uncle Hua was not at home because he had stolen Shaoqiu's jicama. It was fashionable and not interesting to see anyone at this time.
"Uncle, are you at home?" Shaoqiu asked as he stood in front of Uncle Hua's house and knocked on the door gently.
"Yes." Uncle Hua opened the door and let Shaoqiu into his house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a lot of sweet potatoes piled in the hall, but Shaoqiu asked, "Uncle The pumpkins grown are so big.”
"Oh, yes, haha." Hua Bo smiled.
"I didn't come here for anything else, just because I went to Lu Town to sell sweet potatoes these past few days. There was no one to take care of the sweet potatoes on the mountain for a while, so I wanted to ask Uncle Hua to take care of them for me. I saw some Please help me get rid of this person who is secretly digging sweet potatoes." Shaoqiu said.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Uncle Hua kept nodding his head, smiling so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Shaoqiu originally didn't want to ask Hua Bo to help him look after the cold potatoes, knowing that he might do something wrong, but if he didn't ask him, Huangcun really couldn't ask anyone else, otherwise it might be a waste of help. As for Uncle Hua, although this will make some small tricks on himself, it will not completely bankrupt him.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to find this Uncle Hua. After telling Uncle Hua about this, Shaoqiu quickly returned to his house. Otherwise, the things in his house might not be safe.
The next day, Shaoqiu carried a load of sweet potatoes and boarded the ship. At this time, he could not carry such heavy sweet potatoes, so he only carried about a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes to Luzhen. Otherwise, the boat owner may not allow you to board the boat, and it would be quite hard to walk there.
Shaoqiu went to Luzhen. And Uncle Hua went up the mountain to guard the sweet potatoes for Shaoqiu. As soon as he went to someone else's field, he dug a dozen sweet potatoes and sat on a rock and ate them with his belly open. After a while, I saw someone entering Shaoqiu's field and eating as much as I did. He didn't make a sound, but kept laughing.
Countless people dig sweet potatoes to eat in the fields of Shaoqiu. At this time, someone unknown brought a drum to Uncle Hua. For a moment, Uncle Hua said words of encouragement to everyone, and then started playing the drum for them.
With the encouragement of the drums, people were very excited to dig the cold potatoes in the Shaoqiu fields. The mountain was very lively for a while, and people could be said to be laughing all day long, because they were eating the cold potatoes in Shaoqiu. Just like eating from the landlord's house, you can eat whatever you want. "Go ahead and dig." Uncle Hua said to the people while beating the drum.
In less than half a day, too much of the jicama on the mountain had been lost, and what was left were only some unsightly, even withered jicama. If such jicama were sold in Luzhen, no one would even think about it. want. At this time, Hua Bo looked at the sunset and saw that it was getting late. Shaoqiu also returned to the deserted village early because of the good sales of cold potatoes. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help but curse people. .
"Get out!" Shaoqiu shouted loudly at these people. But because Shaoqiu was just a scholar, people didn't take it seriously and continued to dig unhurriedly. It seemed that what they were digging was not Shaoqiu's, but rather their own. of.
"Why are you so mean!" When one person heard Shaoqiu being so angry, he also became angry, "You are going to die, do you know?"
"Why do you see that?" Shaoqiu didn't care about the cold potatoes at this time. In the face of life, these few cold potatoes were nothing.
However, after the man said this, he didn't say anything for a while. He just lowered his head and kept digging for sweet potatoes in the ground, as if he was just digging in the wild. Shaoqiu didn't dare to say anything about this, and he didn't even have the mood to talk to people. Since people said they were going to die, what meaning did these sweet potatoes have to him?
"Yes, the man of God said so," Hua Bo also said. "What I am doing now is just to encourage people to dig more of your sweet potatoes. In this case, maybe you can escape."
After Hua Bo finished saying this, he began to beat the drum with all his strength. The people staying in Shaoqiu Field also used their hands and feet for a while. After a while, they had dug up more than half of the sweet potatoes in Shaoqiu Field. . At this time, Shaoqiu was sitting on the edge of the field, and could only watch silently, and kept saying good things to people in his heart. Without people's help, his jicama would be saved, but his life would be over. .
Shaoqiu walked down the mountain in great distress. He had no place to go for a while and could only stay in his own room. Otherwise, no matter where he went, even to the river, people would look at him as if he was there. Looks like a ghost. Shaoqiu is not a ghost at all, but why do people see him so? Is there really anything scary about him?
※※※
The river is flowing eastward at this time, and the sound of flowing water can be heard at this time. Reflecting the sunset, it is really beautiful. But Shaoqiu was not in the mood to watch the sunset. It was probably impossible to buy a pearl necklace for Xiaohua at this time. However, seeing someone wearing a pearl necklace but Xiaohua not having one, this made Shaoqiu very sad.
Shaoqiu looked at the water flowing eastward and couldn't help but lament the bleakness of life, but he had no choice but to make up for it slowly in the future. But what else can I give Xiaohua?
After walking for a while by the river, I had to return to my house because of the desolation of the night. But at this time, in the deserted village, for some reason, no one was seen. People went to Shaoqiu's fields one after another because they heard Uncle Hua said that the sweet potatoes in Shaoqiu's fields were no longer available and people could dig and eat them as they pleased. Otherwise, who would dare to enter Shaoqiu's fields?
And Shaoqiu has always been very grateful to people for digging the cold potatoes in his fields to eat. If not, then he might really be in trouble. From this point of view, not only can I not say anything to people, but I have to thank people for their love for me. Otherwise, if I were not so understanding, how could I have passed this critical moment in my life?
The huge field soon became bare. The sweet potatoes that Shaoqiu worked so hard to grow were gone because people said that this patch of sweet potatoes was unlucky for him.
The heavy rain kept falling outside, and the night gradually came over. Shaoqiu lay on his bed, listening to the sound of the eaves outside the door knocking on his heart. The strong wind howled through the deserted village. For a moment, the sky and the earth were desolate. There was nothing, and almost nothing could be heard. Only the sound of the wind kept dancing.
At this time, Shaoqiu heard someone knocking on the door of his room, but Shaoqiu didn't want to open the door, he just lay in his room like this. But that sound kept beating on the door of the room. If Shaoqiu didn't open the door at this time, it could be said that he would not be able to sleep.
Shaoqiu had no choice but to open the door, but when he looked around, he found Uncle Hua standing in front of him. Then he asked himself with a playful smile, "Is there any other place you want me to guard?"
"Uncle, it's gone. It's really gone. I can take care of it myself. I won't bother you." Shaoqiu replied.
"Then you don't want me to see the crops in your fields?" Hua Bo asked.
"No need, really no need." Shaoqiu replied.
At this time, countless people from the deserted village came over and stood in front of Shaoqiu's house, constantly begging Shaoqiu to die now. "If you don't die, then we will die!" People seemed to be saying in their hearts.
"This won't work, I don't want to die!" Shaoqiu replied in his heart.
But people didn't care so much and came forward. Some even had knives in their hands. At this time, they had to kill Shaoqiu. Shaoqiu wanted to escape at this time, but countless people caught him. Where should he escape at this time?
