Chapter 26 Section 2

Old Su Kang woke up suddenly, and saw Da Huang pulling his trousers and growling in a low voice. When people get old, drowsiness tends to decrease, but there is a problem--the sun sets and the sun goes down, and when you wake up from a nap, you can't sleep all night again.No, just now I was looking at the sunset in a daze, I felt sleepy for a while, and fell asleep leaning against the stone table.It was obvious that he was confused just now, why did it get dark?Yes, it's dark, there are stars in the sky, and this rhubarb is also, obviously just now lying on the feet and snoring freely, why does it arch in panic?

"Rhubarb, are there any robbers?" Old Su Kang suddenly came to his senses, patted Rhubarb's head and stood up. With a sound of "Woo--", Rhubarb turned around on the spot, opened his mouth wide, grabbed the iron cane leaning on the stone table and stuffed it into the old man's hand, tugged on the old man's trousers, and shot towards Zhuang like an arrow. Flying away, there was no barking! It's a thief!Old Su Kang didn't say a word, Du Du Du followed with his iron stick.Old Su Kang has learned a lot about rhubarb's miraculous ability, and his warning will never go wrong.Luoyang Wangji has become a paradise for thieves in recent years. People from South Korea, Chu, Wei, and Song, whenever the hungry people flee, they all enter Luoyang first.Now the well field system under the emperor's feet is the most suitable for robbers and robbers. No one cares about stealing and robbing, and it will be ignored if reported to the government. "The people of the country live in the city, and the crops grow outside the city." How can the hungry and cold refugees not happily patronize this royal well field?The crops are left unattended, and Ye Lai can cut as much as he wants.In the whole world, which country has such a royal land?It's just that the autumn harvest is over and the land is clean, it's impossible to cut the crops by force. Could it be that the bandits came to rob my lonely village?If this is the case, Su Zhuang will come to an end.

Suddenly, Rhubarb stopped on the ridge outside the door, squatted down with its head held high, and made a low "wow" sound towards the woods.There was no movement in the woods, old Su Kang relaxed his heart, and dutifully tapped his walking stick: "Guest officer behind the tree, don't hide. I still have a load of millet in the farmhouse to the east, go and take it away." No one in the woods answered, But there was a rustling sound of feet stepping on dead leaves.Rhubarb turned around suddenly, yelled "Wow!" to the old master, stretched out, and rushed into the woods, and then heard a burst of "Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!"It sounds weird!What happened to the rhubarb?Old Su Kang was about to walk into the woods, but suddenly heard a deep voice from the forest: "Dahuang, don't bark." Then came the sound of Dahuang hahaha panting.

Old Su Kang was stunned for a moment, but he stood on the ridge in a daze, unable to move. There was no human voice, no dog barking, but a long silence.Finally, there was another rustling sound in the forest, and a figure moved out step by step.Under the hazy moonlight, the figure in short clothes still looked particularly slender, standing blankly with a wooden stick carrying a bundle, familiar yet unfamiliar, him?Who is he?Suddenly, old Su Kang trembled, staggered and almost fell to the ground, he held on to his walking stick before he regained his composure: "Ji Zi, yes, is that you?"

"Father, it's me." There was another long silence, except for the heavy panting of people and dogs. "Ji Zi, go home." Old Su Kang finally spoke, calm and gentle as always. Before Su Qin lifted his feet, Rhubarb stood up tall with a "huh", took down the wooden stick and burden, turned around and ran towards the village. The main hall has just been lit, and the four copper lamps illuminate the hall extremely brightly.On normal days, only two lamps are allowed to be lit in the main hall of the Su family.Today is different, the sister-in-law of the Su family wants to hold a big event in the main hall, so the lights are brightly lit as an exception.

"Yo, it's my family's business after all, my sister came so fast." The housekeeper's sister-in-law rushed in excitedly with a red bag on her arm, and joked with Su Qin's wife who was sitting under the lamp before entering the door. "Sister-in-law made fun of me, so you asked me to come here." The taciturn wife was looking at a piece of silk on a wooden table covered with white cloth in the hall, and her face flushed when she answered, as if she had made a mistake. "Hey, look at what my sister said, is he my husband?" The sister-in-law put the red bundle on the stage and opened it neatly: "Look at this one? Your elder brother brought it back from Daliang yesterday, and said it was Wu Jin What?" Then he spread out the things in the bundle, and saw a bright purple brocade spread out, and the thin golden threads were extraordinarily dazzling! "Ah!" The wife exclaimed softly, "It's so beautiful, my sister-in-law is really willing to part with it."

"Look at what this sister said." The sister-in-law smiled and nodded his wife's forehead: "The second uncle's high-ranking official returns home, that is the glory of the ancestors, and the scenery of the Su family. Isn't it right to make a brocade robe for the second uncle? As a sister-in-law who takes care of the house, don’t you dare not care? My sister will be knighted in the future, so don’t deny me, a country woman. If this person is alive, he has to be like his second uncle! Who is as dead as your elder brother? You can only earn two small coins, which is incomparable."

"I'm talking about sister-in-law," the wife sighed timidly, "where did you hear that he has succeeded? Will he return with honor?" What the eldest brother said, all the ministers of the Luoyang royal family knew that the second uncle met the King of Qin and became a Shangqing. Does the Shangqing know? It’s the same as the prime minister! Your eldest brother asked someone to ask, and they said that the second uncle is not in Xianyang. This is not coming back to visit relatives What is it? What a mess.” The wife blushed and smiled again: “It’s really good. I thought, his character, he won’t come back after something is done.” “Oh, you said, maybe it’s not something Just came back?" Sister-in-law curled her lips disapprovingly: "I watched my second uncle grow up, he is not a mean and ungrateful villain. My sister is a regular wife, so don't talk nonsense in the future."

"What kind of wife is she? I haven't even touched..." The wife muttered sadly, tears were about to come out. "Yo yo yo," the sister-in-law smiled quickly and hugged her sister-in-law and sister, and took out the brocade handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe away her tears, and said with a soft smile, "I'm afraid I haven't touched it before? Keep it intact. This time the second uncle returns home with honor." , Come to a bridal chamber, it’s really unsealed, my sister-in-law has it covered!” "What are you packing?" The wife laughed. "Yo-damn it!" The sister-in-law suddenly realized, she waved her hands again and again, and bent down laughing.

The wife covered her mouth and suppressed her smile with great difficulty: "I'll get on the loom first, the brocade robe lining is not easy to weave." "Okay!" The sister-in-law straightened up with great difficulty: "Go on, my sister's loom skills are unparalleled in the world. What?" He was laughing and talking, and suddenly screamed "Ah!": "Sister, hurry up! Dog—!" Under the bright light, I saw Rhubarb rushing in with a "huh", put down the wooden stick and burden, and went Yelled "Wow, woof" at the two women!The elder sister-in-law had always been afraid of dogs and never dared to get close to this ferocious dog, which was not much like a wolf. When she saw it suddenly rushing into the hall and howling, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

But the wife liked to be close to the dog very much, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Dahuang, have you caught the thief?" "Wow woof!" "Well done, I'll give you a big bone later." "Wow! Woo--" Rhubarb let out a grunt, then "huh" rushed over and bit his wife's skirt. "Ah! You dog—!" The sister-in-law quickly went around and hid behind the brocade table in fright. "Rhubarb." Old Su Kang's flat and hoarse voice came from the courtyard: "Don't bark, they don't understand you." Hearing the sound, Rhubarb let go of his wife's skirt, walked out of the hall with a "woo-woo" in his throat and tail drooping. , It was a disappointment.Old Su Kang walked in with his iron stick, glanced at his two daughters-in-law, turned his head and said calmly, "Ji Zi, come in, it's inevitable." Slow footsteps came from the courtyard, and a figure came from the darkness , standing upright at the entrance of the bright hall—the bunt cloth is in tatters, the long hair and long beard are lean and dark, and a strong smell of sweat and sourness immediately permeates the luxurious hall.There was a deathly silence in the hall.The sister-in-law stood up slowly, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.The wife glanced at the door, her flushed face suddenly turned pale, her bright eyes immediately dimmed, and she froze for a moment like a log, and with a sudden effort on her feet, she heard the sound of the loom "Crack! Crack!".Suddenly, the sister-in-law laughed sharply, fanning the smell of sweat that lingered in her nose: "Yo! Is this the second uncle? Why is it more sour than that beggar? Dear sister, come and see, you miss me so much Your beloved husband is back!" The loom was still rattling, and the wife seemed to be integrated with the loom. Su Qin's black face had swollen to the color of a pig's liver, and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.He gritted his teeth tightly and remained silent. Aunt Ren looked around him and laughed. Gradually, the sweat on his forehead disappeared, and the redness on his face also faded away. His calm and dull eyes were full of strangeness and indifference. "Daughter-in-law, Ji Zi is very hungry, let's cook a good meal." Old Su Kang finally spoke. "Yo! Look at what my father said. I deserve my fate, even a beggar has to serve?" The sister-in-law usually respects her father-in-law and obeys his orders, but now she seems to be a different person, with a smile on her face. He scolded: "Where are the king's chariots and BMWs? Where are the sable furs and long swords? Where are the antique gold coins? Where are the brocade clothes and jade crowns? Hey, I lost everything! He even lobbied the princes and went to pick wild flowers in a clear way. Don't gamble or spend, the money you bring Enough for you to make ten back and forth, as for this? You still have the face to come back, do you expect me to enshrine you, the young lotus flower? Unless the sun comes out from the west, you, Su Jizi, a high-ranking official with a golden seal! Otherwise, there is no way! If you want to eat, beg for it yourself, haven’t you already learned how to beg for food? It’s a shame..." "Enough!" Old Su Kang's iron stick said "Duh!" and roared angrily.Rhubarb rushed in with a "huh!", and stood up suddenly, with two paws resting on the shoulders of the woman who was scolding vigorously, her long blood-red tongue whistling and panting! The sister-in-law screamed "Ah!" and fell to the ground with a pale face. "Dahuang, get out." Old Su Kang paused with his cane, and Dahuang went out again with his tail drooping.The loom was still rattling, and my wife still didn't get off the loom, and still didn't look back.Su Qin glanced at his wife's back, gritted his teeth, and the blood from his lips suddenly dripped onto the white jade brick floor... He bent down to pick up his burden and wooden stick, and walked out of the hall silently. Old Su Kang shook his head, and went out dutifully, the loom in the hall was still rattling. This small courtyard is still so deserted and tidy. Old Su Kang ordered the maid to clean up a large bowl of soup cakes, and sat silently opposite the stone table.Su Qin ate so much that he was sweating profusely, eating like a farmer in a farm.Rhubarb squatted beside him, licking Su Qin's feet constantly, snoring non-stop.This is Luoyang soup cake, pork slices and noodle strips are boiled, and green autumn alfalfa is added to the soup, which is delicious and plump.Su Qin ate very comfortably, and after a while, he sighed and pushed the pottery basin: "Let's do it again." "It's just one pot. It can't be full." Father opened his eyes. Su Qin was silent, watching the maid clean up the stone case, still silent, really didn't know how to explain this strange incident to his father.He waited for the old father to ask questions, and even expected the old father to scold him severely and pick up his cane to beat him up.However, the old father just looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, without asking or saying anything. "Father, where are the older brothers and younger brothers?" Su Qin finally thought of a topic. "The merchant has gone." The father finally stopped looking at the moon, and said calmly, "Ji Zi, do you want to change the course?" "No. The original intention remains the same." "No regrets?" "No regrets." "Eating hard?" "It's hard to eat." "Humiliated?" "Humiliated." The old man said with a cane: "There are three difficulties in starting a business: failure, suffering, and humiliation. If you can pass the three tests, you can expect success." Su Qin solemnly bowed deeply to his father: "Father, please give your son a half-well in the wilderness." .” "A businessman has no grace, only borrowing and not giving." "Yes. Please borrow Jizi Arata Hanai." "How much is the loan period?" "Three years." The old man nodded and closed his eyes wearily. In the early morning of the next day, old Su Kang took Su Qin to the farmland in the countryside.The autumn harvest is over, the dotted huts in the private fields are deserted, and the fields are endlessly empty.When the autumn wind blows, I feel extremely desolate.In the whole world, only Luoyang Wangji still maintains the ancient and authentic well field system - Chinese farmers live in Wangcheng, and when they go out of the city during the harvest season, they live in a hut in a private field. After harvesting, they move back to the castle to cool off the summer. No one smokes anymore.In the past, as the farmers of Wangji Kingdom, each of them had a few or a dozen households of slave farmers. They were not qualified to live in Wangcheng, so they built a few thatched huts in the private fields of the people to keep out the wind and rain. Season is still a little crowded.But later, the slave farmers also gradually fled and went to the new Warring States as free citizens, especially during the more than 20 years of Shang Yang's reform, almost all the remaining slave farmers in Luoyang Wangji fled to Qin.Since then, after the autumn harvest, the Wangji Mine Field outside Luoyang City has truly become a deserted wilderness. Compared with the outskirts of the Warring States capital where the villages are scattered and the four seasons are diligently cultivated, it is like a desolate and deserted cemetery.It was the first time that Su Qin discovered that the lonely Suzhuang and the distant Wangcheng seemed so insignificant in this desolate wilderness!Even the towering red walls and green tiles printed in childhood memories, and the tinkling iron horses under the long eaves are no longer brilliant, they look so dilapidated and ugly.Strange, why didn't I feel this way? "Ji Zi, this is the barren field in Banjing." Father stretched out his iron staff and drew a circle in the distance. Under the barren and incomplete embankment, there is a piece of grassy land, with a few ruined walls in the middle, and a pair of black derrick beside it.Among the boundless fertile fields, this barren field of wild grass is somewhat mysterious and terrifying. According to the authentic and sound well field system, one well has nine fields—eight private fields, the central public field, and the well is in the middle of the public field.Ten "wells" are one "cheng", which is actually an irrigation area; the small water channels in the "wells" for irrigation are called "canals", which are built by each family themselves, and the small canals and dikes are also used by each family. Field trails; the waterway between "well" and "well" is called "ditch"; the larger waterway between "cheng" and "cheng" is called "洫".The ditch is a public waterway built by the government with the help of the people. The embankment of the ditch is the field avenue. The two cases are full of willows. In spring, catkins snow, and in summer, trees are shady.These countless squares stretching out are a picture of Wangji's mine field that is quiet, happy and orderly. More than a thousand years have passed, and the poetry of well fields, such as farming and looking at each other, singing and answering each other, and listening to chickens and dogs, has long since disappeared with the escape of farming slaves.All that is left is the open wilderness, the dilapidated huts, and the boundless desolation under the autumn wind.All over the world, the frenzy of fighting for cities and land is surging one after another, and probably only Luoyang Wangji's mine field can retain this emptiness and desolation.Soon, the waves of the boundless torrent are about to overwhelm, this calmness like death without wind, waves, sound, and breath is about to end, God, God, I can spend three years here peacefully what? "Ji Zi, let's go." The old father nodded his cane, and when Rhubarb heard the sound, he rushed into the weeds.Suddenly, Su Qin walked in front of his father with big strides, dialing the weeds with the "servant" in his hands, and came to the ruins of the barren well with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Obviously, my father hadn't been here for many years, he sighed heavily, and without saying a word, he squinted his eyes and fell into a kind of confusion. Su Qin wandered around silently, looking around.My father said that this was originally the home of a peasant who fled twenty years ago.My father was shrewd. At the beginning, he only bought the barren land that the slave peasants fled and the main family was unable to cultivate.The so-called "banjing" refers to the four barren fields that the Su family bought secretly.There are eight families in one well, and four families are "half wells".According to the Wangji well field system, the "ban well" has about three or four hundred mu of land.The Su family is in business, and no one specializes in farming. If you buy it, it is just a purchase. The barren land is still barren land, and the dilapidated house is naturally even more dilapidated.The three thatched huts had been washed away by the wind and rain until only a few bare earthen walls remained. A few feet away from the house, there was still a stone pound left, and a nest of weeds miraculously grew out of the hole.An open space in front of the door is the original small threshing ground.Three or five feet away, there is a well with a tall orange wood frame. The well platform is paved with bluestone strips, and it is square and square. There is a half-person-high potter's pile at the mouth of the well, but there is no potter's wheel and well rope.Although weeds have already grown on the well platform, it can still be imagined from the organized well platform and two water-drawing tools (orange and potter's wheel) that this is an old well, not a new well dug privately later.The so-called old well is a public water well built during the period of the authentic well field system, according to the Fengshui trend of the government's geomancy, and combined with the power of eight wells.This kind of wells are all in the center of the public land, and the public land is in the middle of the eight private fields, so the distance for each family to draw water is the same.In addition, the water-drawing tools for public wells are also installed uniformly by the government. There are both potter's wheels and orange shovels. In addition, they are maintained and repaired frequently in turn, which seems to be quite standard.The so-called new wells are wells dug by each family in private fields after the relaxation of the well field system. This kind of well is only used by one family, so generally there are only potter's wheels, or only oranges, and the well platform is much smaller. It is much more convenient to have an old well.I just don't know if the well is dry?Su Qin walked up to the well platform, leaned on the potter's wheel pile and looked intently into the dark well, unexpectedly he could vaguely see a round piece of white light.it is good!And water.Coming down from the well platform, Su Qin walked around the boundary of the "half well" that his father said, and when he drove him out, he had already made up his mind. "Father, it's here." The old man nodded: "When will we do it?" "That's right now. I'm not going back." The old man thought silently for a moment: "Alright. I'll come again in the afternoon." After speaking, he waved to Da Huang, who rushed over to look at his master.The old man patted Da Huang on the head: "Da Huang, you are of great use, so stay here." "Wow woof!" The old man stroked the rhubarb lightly, then turned and left. "Father," Su Qin shouted, "you can't live without rhubarb!" "Wow, woof, woof! Woo—" Rhubarb yelled a few times, then crawled on the ground in frustration and stopped moving. The old man did not look back, and walked away with a cane. Gradually, his old figure was obliterated by the vast grass.As soon as his father left, Su Qin immediately took off his shirt and started to work.When practicing in the mountains, the teacher often talked about the self-reliance and diligence of the Mohists, and from time to time asked them to do some subsistence tasks such as repairing huts, drawing water from mountain streams, and hunting in mountains.Su Qin is no stranger to doing things by himself, and after traveling for three months, he is completely used to making a living by himself. Not only does he no longer feel embarrassed about things like taking off his clothes and going to the fields, but he feels that he has experienced another kind of life , don't have a bitter taste.The scene last night had already wiped out his longing for home along the way, and the dream of warmth was suddenly shattered and broken at that moment!If it weren't for his dull and profound old father, he would definitely leave home angrily and go wandering on his own.The moment his sister-in-law and his wife cruelly tore up his dream, he made up his mind - leave his original luxurious Wafu Academy far away, leave home to practice hard, and rebuild himself!In the wilderness, we are always accompanied by wind, rain, frost and snow, and we are always in the experience of pain and humiliation, so we can only be more vigilant and vigorous.He decided to do a Goujian-like sacrifice, ruthlessly destroying the body and violently stimulating the soul.The first thing is to build a thatched hut that can shelter from the wind and rain on the ruined wall. Just now he has carefully inspected the weeds in the field. Although they are not as flexible as thatch on the river beach, they are quite luxuriant. The grass body is still fine and firm. With a little selection, it will definitely be able to build a thick roof.Although there is no tool right now, it is always possible to pull the weeds first.The frost has passed, and the autumn grass has turned yellow and dried, and even the green part of the grass root is gone. It is the suitable grass material for thatch to cover the roof.He burrowed into the waist-deep grass, and picked the fine thatch and pulled it out pinch by pinch. Rhubarb has been lying under the broken wall and snoring to himself, and finally got into the weeds. "Rhubarb, you'd better go back, it's inconvenient for old father to leave you." Su Qin patted Rhubarb's head. "Wooooow, woof woof!" Rhubarb yelled at Su Qin twice, but did not turn around and walk away. "Rhubarb, let's work together." Su Qin had the experience of Zhongshan wolf, and had a deep understanding of the supernatural power of good dogs.A spirited bulldog like rhubarb is unparalleled in its loyalty and obedience to its master. If the master sends it to guard here, it will definitely not leave, although it prefers to stay with the master.After thinking about it, Su Qin tied the pulled thatch into small bundles and patted the rhubarb: "Rhubarb, pick it up, hey, that's it. Okay, send it to the broken wall, where—" Su Qin pointed, and the rhubarb Picking up the bundle of straw in his mouth, he rushed out with a whoosh.The sun was setting in the west, and when his father came back driving the ox cart, Su Qinba's thatch had already spread all over the broken wall. "Look, is there any shortage?" The short whip in father's hand pointed at the bullock cart. Su Qin was a little surprised.He really didn't expect that his father could drive an ox cart here himself?The road is full of potholes and weeds, and it is difficult to walk, let alone drive.But apart from the beads of sweat on his forehead, his father looked at the thatch he had pulled out as if nothing had happened.Su Qin knew his father's character, so he went to move the things in the car without saying a word.The things my father sent were not many, but they were all practical.A few simple tools such as iron Lei, mud mop, wooden poke, hemp rope, hatchet, etc.; several cooking utensils such as iron pan, clay pot, and pottery bowl; a bag of original clothes, one bag is enough for two or three The dry biscuit meat that I eat every day, and the remaining five or six wooden boxes are my books.After moving things, Su Qin felt thirsty and hot, so he took the hemp rope wooden barrel to the well platform, tied the hemp rope to the orange, and fastened the wooden barrel with the rope hook to put it down the old well.Hang it up to see that the water is clear and bright, take a sip, it is cool and sweet!Su Qin brought the water to the side of the ox cart, made a pottery bowl and handed it to his father. "Jizi, this is a living well." The father sips the clear water: "God has eyes." "Eat and drink, that's enough, father, let's go back and rest." Father beat a rusty copper box with a short whip: "This is a box of old books, I'll give it to you together." After finishing speaking, my father sat on the bullock cart and walked away, walking a few steps. Father turned around and waved to Rhubarb.Rhubarb yelled "Ow!", leaped a few times, and then jumped onto the bullock cart and kissed his master fiercely.Father touched Rhubarb and said something to him. Rhubarb said "Wow!", then jumped off the ox cart again and squatted in the weeds to watch the ox cart. As soon as his father left, Su Qin immediately started weeding again, trying to take advantage of the dawn to pull as much as possible.When the twilight faded and it was dark, another pile of thatch was piled up under the broken wall.Now it is the middle of September, the autumn moon is about to be full, and it is extremely bright.After taking a dip in the cool well water, Su Qin and Rhubarb each ate a dry cake and a piece of sauced meat, drank a gulp of the cool well water, and then began to build their own thatched huts.This small courtyard was originally a row of three thatched houses, but now only four broken walls and rafters on top of the walls remain.Taking advantage of the moonlight, Su Qin inspected the broken wall carefully, and felt that the two walls in the middle were a little more complete, with less traces of wind and rain, so he decided to use these two walls to build a thatched house.There is no need to build walls, but grass and mud on the roof, Su Qin feels that it is not difficult at all at the moment.He first dug the soil with an iron pole, surrounded a large clay pot, poured five or six buckets of water into the clay pot, and then filled the clay pot with the selected semi-dry soil; At that time, he chopped a lot of fine thatch with the hatchet, threw it into the clay pot, and then jumped into the clay pot with bare feet and stomped on it repeatedly.When the moon is in the middle of the sky, a pot of soft and moderately sticky grass mud is reconciled.Although he was sweating profusely, Su Qin was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy at all.After three months of polishing on the Hexi Night Road, my mental strength and energy have increased miraculously compared to before.With a bang, he began to grass on the roof.It is common to build an ordinary thatched hut, and the grass on the roof is the most technical. How about the performance of wind and rain protection?It's all about the grass on the roof.The exquisite thatched huts must be covered with triple thatch, so that the interior of the house can be warm in winter and cool in summer.Of course, Su Qin couldn't be so particular about it. What's more, he didn't care whether it was warm in winter or cool in summer, he just asked for no rain or wind.Such a requirement is naturally much simpler. The earth wall was originally not high.Su Qin first threw a bundle of cut branches on the top of the wall, then packed a bag of mud and lifted it under the wall, and then climbed up the wall with mud in hand and hemp rope wrapped around his waist.Looking at it from the top of the wall, Su Qin put down the hemp rope with a hook, and waved to Rhubarb: "Rhubarb, hang on to the mud bag." "Wow, woof, woof!" Rhubarb circled the rope hook two or three times, and actually caught the iron hook and the mud bag! "Rhubarb, good!" Su Qin happily lifted up the mud bag, and began to spread branches on the rafters, and then paste grass mud on the branches, until a layer of grass mud was covered, Dongfang was already white.Su Qin didn't rest, and immediately began to dry thatch.This requires care and skill: it needs to be paved from the eaves, and the roots of each row of grass are pressed tightly with mud, and the back row covers the mud roots of the front row, and the rows are pushed up to the ridge of the roof.At noon, Su Qin finished pressing a side of thatch and happily climbed down from the earth wall, but his legs gave way and he fell beside Rhubarb. "Wow, woof!" Rhubarb has turned into a mud dog, and its shiny yellow hair was covered with mud that fell from the roof.Seeing Su Qin fell to the ground, it screamed twice and came over. "Huh—" There was a heavy snoring sound.Rhubarb sniffed Su Qin, wagged his tail and fell down. "Woo, snore..." Rhubarb snorted, and fell asleep leaning on Su Qin.
