Farmer's Rabbit

Chapter 53 Tomb Sweeping

Chang Sheng didn't know how he washed the things off his hands. He stared blankly at the hand, which was obviously clean, but he still felt the lingering dampness and heat.

What a bewilderment!

To do such a thing!

Chang Sheng felt annoyed in his heart, wishing to turn back time and slap himself who just grabbed the boy's hand and shook it together.

You clearly know that the young man has feelings for you, but you still behave in such a way that he misunderstands him. You are not helping him but harming him!

A bucket of cold water was poured on his head, Chang Sheng raised his head and let the cold water run across his face, he closed his eyes tightly and let out a low growl, the joints of his clenched fist turned white.

On a cold night in early spring, a tall man stood by the well, with a remorseful look and a slumped figure, standing there motionless like a sculpture.

After a while, the clenched fists were loosened, and Chang Sheng took off the wet clothes on his body, dried them hastily, and then put on clean clothes.

There has never been a regret in the world for taking medicine, and he did it when he did it. What else can he do except try his best to guide the young man?

Letting out a breath of depression, Chang Sheng lifted his feet and entered the room.

Passing by the outer room, it was quiet and peaceful inside, obviously the boy had already fallen asleep.

Chang Sheng walked in gently, the boy lying obediently on the bed stretched his brows and smiled, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Chang Sheng's eyes fell on his healthy and flushed cheeks, and the worry in his heart prompted him to step forward to test the boy's body temperature.

Sure enough, the temperature has dropped.

Once by chance and the second time by coincidence?Considering that the boy's body is a little rabbit, Chang Sheng had a vague guess in his mind.

It seems that I have to ask Aunt Zhang tomorrow.

Pulling the quilt aside to cover Bai Tutu, Chang Sheng exited lightly.

It was past half of the night, and although Chang Sheng didn't feel sleepy, he went back to the utility room.

In the darkness, a pair of red eyes eagerly looked towards the direction of the door. Seeing him appear, a white figure jumped off the bed bouncingly.

The little rabbit woke up!

Chang Sheng was taken aback, and he didn't come back to himself until the little rabbit ran to his feet.

Crouching down, Chang Sheng picked up the little rabbit, wondering and wondering.

Who is this?

Bai Tutu, who didn't know that his actions caused Chang Sheng to fall into chaos again, blinked and rubbed his arm.

"Cuckoo..."

The cooing sound that I haven't heard for a long time comes from the little rabbit's mouth, and Chang Sheng's eyes are deep: "Hungry?"

Uh-huh!Bai Tutu shook his little ears.He was absent-minded during dinner, he didn't eat much at all, and then he had a fever, Chang Sheng didn't prepare a supper for him, and then he tossed all night...

Originally, I wanted to see how Chang Sheng would react, but who knew that he had waited on the bed for a long time but did not see Chang Sheng come back.

Waiting and waiting, he was hungry.

Chang Sheng stared at him closely: "I'm a little hungry too, let's go to the kitchen. Get you something to eat."

good!Bai Tutu nodded hurriedly.

Not feeling sleepy, Chang Sheng simply prepared breakfast for tomorrow.

Flour, water and yeast are kneaded into a dough, and while the dough is fermenting, a piece of wild boar is often sliced ​​and minced, then marinated with onion, ginger, garlic and seasonings for use.

Bai Tutu's eyes lit up, and he was full of joy.

Chang Sheng is making meat buns!

Lighting the fire and starting the stove, Chang Sheng added water to the pot, and when the water boiled, he threw a handful of noodles into it.When the noodles are cooked soft, Chang Sheng takes out the noodles and puts them in cold water.

Put the oil in the pan, pour in some minced meat and stir-fry, the sound of sizzling and the aroma of the meat wafting away.

Bai Tutu watched eagerly, his heart drooling.

What is Chang Sheng doing?

Waiting for a bowl of noodle soup to be bright red, covered with a layer of fragrant minced meat, on top of which are placed delicate green vegetables, bright red shredded radish and fried fried poached eggs. Bai Tutu took a sip of the aroma, eyes All straight.

It turned out to be minced pork noodles!It smells so good!It looks delicious!

"Okay, let's eat." Chang Sheng put his chopsticks by the bowl.

Bai Tutu couldn't wait to get the chopsticks, and when his little furry paws touched the chopsticks, he woke up suddenly.

He's a bunny now!How does the little rabbit hold chopsticks?

Bai Tutu was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his little paw.

Chang Sheng had a full view of his actions, took out the carrot he had prepared earlier, and said, "This is yours."

Throwing carrots to him, Chang Sheng sat down with a normal expression, and picked up chopsticks to eat noodles.

Bai Tutu watched him finish the bowl of noodles without wiping his mouth, and gnawed a carrot in grief and indignation.

Although the carrots are crisp and sweet, he still wants to eat meat and drink soup!

Chang Sheng took the dishes and chopsticks to wash, and from an angle that Bai Tutu couldn't see, his eyes were full of complex colors.

Kneading the swollen and sore forehead, Chang Sheng turned around and cut the risen dough into evenly sized pieces, and then rolled out the leather buns.

He moved very quickly, and when Bai Tutu finished eating the carrots, the buns were already wrapped.

After washing his hands, Chang Sheng picked him up: "It will be dawn in a few hours, go to sleep."

Um!Bai Tutu licked his hair clean, and obediently followed him back to the house.

Chang Sheng lay down, Bai Tutu rolled his eyeballs, and got into his warm clothes without hesitation.

The man's fingers curled up and finally clenched into fists.

Gently closing his eyes, Chang Sheng only felt depressed.

He was trapped in a cocoon, and he fell into a predicament, but he couldn't find a way to break out of the predicament.

……

The next morning, when the sky turned white, Chang Sheng, who hadn't slept all night, got up.

Today he was going to Li Family Village to worship the original owner's grandparents, so he had to go to the city to buy some fresh fruit.

"Hey hey hey!" Dahei was both surprised and happy, and today he took him out for a walk without howling at the man!

Dahei traveled quickly, and there were no people on the road early in the morning. It took Chang Sheng more than half an hour to go back and forth.

As soon as he got home, he killed chickens and cooked rice non-stop. When the sun rose, Chang Sheng prepared the sacrifices.

With a basket on his back and a hoe on his back, Chang Sheng rode to Lijia Village on horseback.

"Very big!"

There was a yell, and Chang Sheng looked up. Seventeen or eighteen villagers were standing by the road in the distance, and they seemed to be going up the mountain.

"Chang Da, are you going to visit the grave?" the simple-faced man asked.

Chang Sheng nodded slightly.

The silly-faced man smiled, and said: "Chang San picked immortal grass on the mountain, and we also want to go up the mountain to try our luck."

Last night, the villagers blocked Chang San's house and made a fuss. Chang San refused to tell them where they picked the immortal grass. It was his mother who couldn't stand the villagers' condemnation.So they made an appointment to go up the mountain to search together today.

Immortal grass?Wild dendrobium?Chang Sheng understood.Chang San did pick a lot of Dendrobium, but the growth environment of this Dendrobium is a bit harsh, and it is not easy to pick.Sideways: "The cliff is steep, be careful."

The simple-faced man was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Chang Da, where did you find Chang San?"

Chang Sheng gave a general description of the location, and the villagers looked happy.

What Chang Da said basically agrees with what Chang San said!That's right!

The man with a simple face asked again: "Chang San said he saw a wild boar on the mountain, Chang Da, have you ever seen a wild boar on the mountain?"

Chang Sheng answered truthfully: "Yes."

The villagers looked at each other and whispered: "It seems that Chang San is not lying."

"Yes! But if there are wild boars on the mountain..." A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the villagers who spoke.

Immediately someone scolded: "Wealth and wealth are in danger! If you are afraid, go back!"

"I……"

Chang Sheng didn't want to get involved with them, so he kicked the big black belly and continued to move forward.

The original owner's grandparents were buried at the foot of Liangshan Mountain. This area is a burial area, and the cemeteries of several nearby villages are concentrated here.At a glance, white papers are flying and white flags are surging, and all the tombs are of different sizes, simple or well-repaired.

Chang Sheng searched according to the memory of the original owner, and found a small tomb bag.There is a tombstone on the grave, and the inscription on the tombstone is the son-in-law Chang Youde.

Chang Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, since Li Chunhua gave birth to his son, Chang Youde never came to burn paper money for the two elders again.The tomb has been left unattended for many years, and the soil bag was almost washed away by the rain.

Picking up the hoe to clean up the weeds around the tomb, Chang Sheng dug soil from nearby to repair the tomb.

What is buried inside is not my real elder, but this relative whose body is connected by blood.Chang Sheng carefully arranged the sacrifices, lit incense and candles, and actually kowtowed to the second elder to confess his guilt.

After the paper and ingots were burned to ashes, Chang Sheng poured down the wine, packed up his things and went back home.

The sun has risen, and the boy should get up. The chicken soup on the stove is warm, and the meat buns in the pot are also warm. I don’t know if he has eaten.

Chang Sheng sighed and got on his horse.

Around the cemetery, there were quite a few villagers from Lijiacun who were sweeping the grave, and the villagers whispered to each other when they saw Chang Sheng.

"This Chang Da is really filial, and he comes to worship every year. It's a pity..."

"What a pity, even though he has hidden illnesses, Miss Yu'e is still clamoring to marry him!"

"Didn't Li Yuanwai discuss a marriage with Miss Yu'e?"

"Hey, it didn't work! The other party heard that Miss Yu'e was madly in love with a farmer, so she refused without saying a word."

"Then Li Yuanwai is so angry that he is going to die?"

"Of course! Mr. Li was going crazy. He wanted to hit someone on the spot, but his wife stopped him!"

"With a bad reputation, Miss Yu'e may find it difficult to marry this time."

"That's right. Originally, there was an endless stream of matchmakers who went to Li's house to say that they would marry each other. Since the news spread, almost no matchmakers came to the door. Even if there were matchmakers who came to the door, they said that the target of the marriage was either a widower or a poor family. Some people even wanted Miss Na Yu'e For a concubine!"

"Hey, tell me, if Miss Yu'e has no one to marry, will Li Yuanwai marry Miss Yu'e to Chang Da?"

"Impossible! It's too old to die. Isn't marrying your daughter a living pain?"

"It's up to us whether it's okay or not. It is said that the news came from that shrew Li Chunhua. Do you believe what this woman said?"

It's not that Chang Sheng didn't notice that the villagers in Lijia Village looked at him strangely, and he guessed the reason as soon as he thought about it, but he couldn't care what others said because his mouth grew on other people.

"Very big!"

An anxious female voice sounded behind him, Chang Sheng tightened the reins, and looked back——

A girl in a bright yellow spring shirt hurriedly chased after him, out of breath.Seeing him stop, the girl let out a long breath and ran forward quickly.

This girl looked familiar, he should have seen it before, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hoo hoo..." The girl panted heavily and complained, "Your horse runs too fast!"

Chang Sheng was silent.

After her breath calmed down, the girl looked around and said, "Chang Da, my lady wants to talk to you."

Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows and finally remembered where he had seen this girl before.

This girl is the maid next to Miss Li!
