Little Life on An American Ranch: Chapter 427 make up
Chapter 427 Get it together
Following Mr. Yao for a few steps, he came to the bottom of a big tree. A cow was tied to the tree pole, and the cow was pulling a two-wheeled flatbed cart.
Seeing the old man reaching out to untie the rope tied to the tree, Jian Heng asked, "Take this car?"
Master Yao said with a smile: "If you don't want to, you can walk. Anyway, I don't want to walk. Although it is very close, there is still a little distance."
While talking, Mr. Yao had already untied the rope, casually reached out and tore down a branch and held it in his hand. At the same time, he tilted his buttocks and sat on the cart.
Tilted his head at Jian Heng, signaling Jian Heng to get in the car.
Jian Heng imitated the old man, and sat on the other side with his **** tilted. Because Jian Heng was tall, it was not comfortable to sit at the beginning. His feet were too close to the ground, and he could rub against the ups and downs of the ground from time to time, so it was very uncomfortable. Quickly, Jian Heng moved his **** to the car.
After walking for a while, I passed a small stone bridge. Below the stone bridge is a small stream. The stream is not wide, that is, more than two meters wide. From time to time, you can see one or two small fry wagging their tails leisurely in the water.
After crossing the small stone bridge, I walked along the bank of the creek for about a hundred meters and turned towards the direction of the village. One or two farmers can be seen busy in the paddy fields.
Seeing Mr. Yao, the busy people in the field stretched out their hands to say hello to Mr. Jian Heng, and nodded and smiled at Jian Heng. From their faces, Jian Heng could see the plainness and simplicity, satisfaction and joy that no longer existed outside.
The oxcart carried the two slowly towards Zhuangzi. Now Jian Heng was curious about everything he saw, as if he was in hundreds of years ago. He seemed to be the person who strayed into the Peach Blossom Land. Everything he saw was very strange. .
"Why are people here wearing Hanfu?"
"Our clothes have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present. As for the outsiders, there are still a few people who know the beauty of Chinese clothes. Is it difficult for us to wear the clothes of the Qing Dynasty?" Old Master Yao said disdainfully.
"Do you weave this cloth yourself?" Jian Heng asked.
"Well, we weave, raise silkworms, grow cotton, and spin yarn by ourselves," Mr. Yao said with a smile.
Jian Heng found it quite interesting: "These seeds were also obtained from outside, or did you pay for it yourself? It's earing at this time?"
"Is there rice outside this season? This thing is actually related to your clan. It took decades for the suzerains of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties to cultivate it. Although the output is small, it is cold-resistant, and the rice produced is also particularly delicious. There is a refreshing fragrance, if you come in summer, you can eat this year's cold rice, and later you can eat summer rice, it is another kind of fragrance..." The old man introduced.
"Grandpa Yao, who is this little man?"
While the two were chatting, seven or eight women walked up to the chat, wearing Han-style skirts. The upper bodies were almost all light-colored long-sleeved shorts, and the lower body skirts were darker-colored pleated skirts.
Among this group of women, the older one is about thirty years old, the younger one is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are not very old. When talking to Mr. Yao, some of these women winked at Jian Heng, full of courage big.
"Brother of the Mausoleum, if you like it, you can meet Xiao Lang in the small courtyard in the east tonight. As for whether the Xiao Lang group is willing or not, I, the old man, can't control it!" A bit more straightforward than these girls.
When the ox cart passed by these women, Jian Heng really didn't know what to say. In just a short dozen seconds, Jian Heng had two or three more champagne in his hand.
It's not a big deal, just now Jian Heng clearly felt that some women took advantage of the chaos to pick out a few fists on his face and between his chest and abdomen, which was really bold and unusual.
Seeing Jian Heng blushing like a cloth, Mr. Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey, is this the tradition?" Jian Heng felt that he was awkward. He had not been here for a long time, and he had been molested by a group of women, and he was still in the world.
Mr. Yao brushed his beard and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard the allusion of throwing fruit and a car? It is the nature of men and women to love each other. Apart from blood relatives, it is human nature to meet and go on a blind date. It seems to be bound? Your mind is bound Zhu Ming’s Neo-Confucianism has been misleading, and the customs of the Han people in the past are not too different from the current one! Young people, open your eyes and open your heart, life is just a fleeting moment, fleeting things, is it interesting to tie yourself up? If I am like At your age, it would be a waste of time like you to invite beautiful people to drink pure wine and sing songs to the moon."
Jian Heng cupped his hands when he heard what the old man said: "You are amazing, you are invincible!"
Jian Heng really can't accept that the old man and the group of people who live in the 'Peach Blossom Spring' are more open and enthusiastic than himself. This group of people has no ancient demeanor of going out of the door and not going out of the door. The group of women just now did not have their feet bound. Yes, he walks with big strides and looks brilliant.
As we go further in, we meet more and more people. Every time we meet some women in their thirties or unmarried girls, Jian Heng either receives a handkerchief from someone else, or someone occupies some of them. It's cheaper, especially for women in their twenties and thirties. There was a woman holding a baby in a cup who actually put her hand into Jian Heng's collar and touched it. scared.
When the ox cart came to the gate of a small courtyard, Master Yao yelled and stopped the ox.
"Arrived!"
The old man lightly jumped from the ox cart to the ground, stretched out his hand and patted the buttocks, and then lightly patted the ox's buttocks. He waited for the oxen to drag the cart past the door, and then signaled Jian Heng to enter the yard.
The walls of the courtyard are not high, about 1.56 meters. They are made of stones and covered with vines.
Squeak!
Gently pushed open the courtyard door, and after the narrow wooden door made a long sound, Jian Heng and the two stood in the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big, about 30 meters wide and 15 to 16 meters deep. Some firewood is placed against the wall on the east side of the courtyard, and the rest is empty.
Mr. Yao pushed open the door of the room, and Jian Heng saw two cages at a glance. The cages were placed on the ground about one meter high, and there was only a small crane inside. The cage on the table was much smaller, 20 centimeters high. The height is flat, and there is a small blue python tucked inside.
"This... is this the blue blood tree python?" Jian Heng's heartbeat accelerated when he saw this thing. Red-crowned cranes and the like can be settled as long as they have money, which is not unusual for Jian Heng, but the blue tree python The python is so rare. Once it appears on the market, it starts from 300,000 US dollars, and it is still priceless in the market. If you really want to buy it or not, don’t think about it.
"Standardly, all the people on our side who could be mobilized were mobilized. I was lucky. I found it in the forest of New Guinea. After I found it, I spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to transport it out. This thing is amazing. It cost us a lot of money.”
Master Yao looked at the snake in the cage and said with a little emotion.
"I see, what I promised will be done as soon as possible," Jian Heng said casually.
Old Master Yao heard this, but said: "Just do your best!"
Seeing Jian Heng staring intently at the snake on the table, Mr. Yao said, "Then I'm leaving, you have a good rest!"
After talking, the old father and son were about to turn around and leave, and when they reached the door, they said to Jian Heng: "We don't have any banquets here, so generally speaking, you have to have enough food and clothing by yourself, and put all the ingredients you can use in the kitchen. You can use it, if you can use it, it will be more convenient."
"I know how to use it!" Jian Heng said.
"That's fine!" Master Yao turned around and left after speaking.
Jian Heng followed out, first closed the courtyard door, then went back to the house and closed the door of the house, and after closing the door, glanced around a few times, then walked to the two cages, first sent the crane out, and then raised his hand Put the blue blood tree python into the space.
When Jian Heng entered the space, he suddenly felt that his feet were a little unstable. At first, Jian Heng thought it might be because he didn't stand firmly, but when he saw two women living in the house ran out to the side When I ran and shouted that there was an earthquake, I realized that the instability of the ground was not my illusion.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the pool, the translucent statues of the blue blood tree python and the crane have already returned to the last two blank spaces in the pool.
