He is from the end of the world

Chapter 23

Lu Gongzi really didn't lie.

The rabbit was originally stupid, and he hid his breath again, and he really rushed towards him. He bumped his head into his leg and was picked up by Lu Gongzi when he was dizzy.

Silly and cute.

Lu Ciyu got up and came to his side to watch the cage he made.

"Just use ordinary branches to weave them, aren't you afraid that the rabbits will gnaw them?"

Lin Chi shook his head: "This is only the innermost, and the outside will be covered with another layer, so it won't run out."

Lu Ciyu nodded: " Look, you're really amazing."

"Huh?" Lin Chi made a move on his hand.

"Like me, I don't know anything about this kind of thing, but you are very good at everything. You can sew clothes, cook, make animal fur, and even weave baskets."

Lin Chi blushed and hurriedly arranged: "No, no, all these things that every girl and brother knows, I'm just...".

Lu Ciyu put her index finger on his lips and snorted.

"But writing and drawing is something every scholar should understand. I'm just like them, but an ordinary person. I'm not as powerful as you think."

Lin Chi shook his head: "You are different...you scholars will be You can take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official...".

Lu Ciyu smiled helplessly: "But we scholars, we don't understand anything other than holding a pen, writing, reading poetry, painting and drawing. Isn't throwing it into the field and blindly using wheat as a weed?"

Lin Chi was at a loss. The understanding that he accepted since childhood was that the Rishis were one level higher than the farmers. They only learned how to write and draw, and they also knew what to do in farming and cooking?

Lu Ciyu hit the railway while it was hot: "I'm not saying that writing and painting is better than farming. What I mean is that each class has their own areas of expertise. In their field, these people are the most powerful, even if they are The emperor may not be better than them."

Lin Chi hurriedly covered his mouth: "Keep your voice down!"

Lu Ciyu grabbed his hand and pressed it against his heart, approaching his face and whispering: "What do you think? Am I right?"

Lin Chi withdrew his hand and nodded uncomfortably.

"Um". Lu Ciyu smiled: "Then sum up?"

Lin Chi turned his head and stumbled: "In terms of farming, I-I am better than Young Master Lu."

Lu Ciyu hugged someone: "Say it again?"

"In terms of farming, I'm better than Young Master Lu."

Lin Chi said this, and there was something more silent in his heart. It seems that there is nothing to panic and cowardice to walk with Lu Ciyu in the future.

He also has enough capital to stand by Mr. Lu's side.

------

Don't underestimate the working speed of the working people, but in just a few days, the wheat fields and rice fields that can be seen are bald.

As the so-called "double grab", the autumn harvest is simply competing with the heavens and the earth for time, and it is not enough for a moment and a half. Fearing that one day it would rain and soak the rice crops, everyone was busy sweating and taking off their jackets and wringing out a puddle of water.

Lu Ciyu stood silently on the edge of the field, watching the old man in the field bent over to cut rice, his entire back pulled into a bow shape. The old man moved very quickly, holding a special rice-cutting sickle, flicking the rice stalks and weeds with one hand and cutting it with a knife, and cut off a large piece in a blink of an eye.

He didn't know how long he had been doing it, and there was a long cut mark behind him, and there were piles of baled straws behind him, but his movements were still flexible.

Lu Ciyu took a few steps forward, leaned over and picked up a left straw. The rice leaves and rice stems were rough and gritty, and Lu Ciyu rubbed his fingers together for a moment before turning around suddenly.

It was not long before he went out, but he thought about Lin Chi a little bit.

Harvesting rice is actually a very tiring job.

The two of them chatted about this topic in the morning.

You have to bend over and stand upright and repeat, the rice stalks are rough, and sometimes people get bald in a hurry, and they can directly grind out a palm of blood through friction. He continued to cut rice with the wound on his hand, and the piercing pain pierced into the bottom of his heart. Old wounds are not healed and new wounds are added, and the hardships of the years have been engraved on it, leaving indelible marks.

Just like Lin Chi's hand, it was obviously only an eighteen-year-old child, but it was full of calluses, thick joints, and a few not-so-slight scars.

When the fingers are intertwined with him, the knuckles alone look more like a man.

Lu Ciyu turned around and went back to his small courtyard, Lin Chi looked at him blankly.

"Why are you back?"

Lu Ciyu shook her head: "I just wanted to see you all of a sudden."

Lin Chi jumped in surprise, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "What happened?"

Lu Ciyu grabbed the person In his arms, his hands slid down his waistline and landed on Lin Chi's hands in front of him, wrapping both of his hands in the palm of his hand.

He rested his head on Lin Chi's shoulder and looked down, the contrast was really stark.

Not to mention that Lu Ciyu's complexion is pale, and the joints are distinct and ten fingers are slender, each section is very beautiful, and the propaganda photo of pulling a suit and tie with one hand in modern times can make people fall. The few thin cocoons that were left were later ground when using weapons to fight zombies.

He rubbed the scar on Lin Chi's hand for a moment, and asked, "Where do you think we bought the land?"

Lin Chi didn't expect that he would come back specifically to say this, but he didn't react for a while, thinking: "Our farmers are all based on People who live on the land will never sell their land unless they encounter a hurdle that they cannot overcome. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid no one will sell it in the near future."

Lu Ciyu nodded.

He had thought about this before.

Mr. Lu is very ruthless in his actions, and he does not use less means in order to suppress his business opponents, but if he wants to count ordinary villagers for a few acres of land... This kind of thing is too conscientious and he doesn't really want to do it.

Seeing Lu Ciyu frowning, Lin Chi reached out and stroked his brow: "We can reclaim wasteland."

"There are quite a few places in the mountains. I've seen them before, and the soil quality is very good. The high-quality farmland in the village is poor."

"And the newly cultivated wasteland does not need to pay taxes for the first three years."

Lu Ciyu thought about it, and listed the advantages and disadvantages in her heart. In the end, his opinion was accepted.

I finally have my own home! Lin Chi felt a lot more at ease: "Then I will go to Uncle Li to borrow some farm tools from him in the afternoon, and I will go to reclaim the wasteland when I have nothing to do!"

Lu Ciyu quickly grabbed the man: "What are you going to do?"

He continued to frown: " After the autumn harvest, I will pay to recruit people in the village and let them help us cultivate, so you can supervise the work."

Lin Chi was puzzled: "I don't have anything to do at home anyway, so why do I need to find someone who I can do by myself?"

Lu Ciyu nodded: "Be obedient."

Lu Ciyu would never let Lin Chi touch farm implements again, the scars on his hands were enough for him to remember for a lifetime. What's more, there is no reason to let his daughter-in-law go to the ground.

"Let's go check it out at night, first choose the land and tell Uncle Lizheng, and report to the government when the autumn harvest is over."

...

Actually, after the autumn harvest, it doesn't necessarily have to be their turn.

The grain store Xiaoer who regularly comes to the village to collect grain will always lower the price a bit more, naturally it is better than sending it to the town and selling it on its own.

However, this era of transportation is really underdeveloped. If you want to enter the town, you have to either walk on your legs for a long time or ride an ox cart for a few hours. The time to toss back and forth is even longer than Lu Ciyu's ability to use his full power.

Besides, how much can a bullock cart carry? How much food can the villagers produce per mu of land? All the rice laid by a villager is enough for the ants to move for ten days and a half months. What else can they do other than obediently wait for the grain store to come?

The villagers can choose at most a few bags of good rice to sell at a high price when they go to the town to go to the market, such as Lin Er Auntie in the past, but it is a fantasy to want to move all of them into the town.

"Also." Lu Ciyu half circled Lin Chi, watching him feed the rabbit.

"There are only a few households in the village who have ox carts. Naturally, they have to lend them to their relatives and friends for the first time. How could they neglect their own people in order to lend them to us for no reason.

" Who do you know, everyone who knows each other will go round one by one, and I'm afraid it will be winter when we line up."

Lin Chi sighed: "Yeah."

"So I'm thinking of buying a farm animal." Lu Ciyu replied.

"Huh??"

"Mules, horses and cattle, anything is fine, the main thing is to pull carts to transport things, so that we can enter the town easily."

Lin Chi was really frightened. Farm animals are extremely rare in the village. Yangning Village can be regarded as a large village in Shili Baxiang, and there are no more than ten families with large-scale farm animals.

First, the price is expensive, and a calf costs about a few taels; second, there are many government affairs, and it needs to go through a lot of approvals to report it. Periodically, people will come down to check whether there is any private abuse that kills meat eaters and does not report them. The third is that most of them do not feed.

Because of the price, after taking it home, I wanted to be an offering from my ancestors, so I had to clean up a shed hundreds of times a day, lest the cows get sick, but I didn't know that this would be bad for them.

It was not that no one in the village had raised cattle before, but he died due to improper care a few days after he was brought home. The man was dragged into the government and received 20 sticks.

"This is a major matter related to your husband's life. You have to take care of me, you know?"

Lin Chi felt that he had a huge responsibility and nodded seriously.

Only then did Lu Ciyu enter the room with satisfaction, and when the other figure disappeared in the yard, Lin Chi finally reacted -

he said so much to keep himself from going to the ground, right?
