Chapter 132

In the harvest season, Zhongling village becomes lively.

Many people who don't go home for a long time also squeeze a few days to collect wheat.

When Xia Yi goes out early in the morning, she can see people in twos and threes going to the ground with sickles.

After another delivery to the capital and other towns, Xia Yi gives uncle Wen two days off to go home to collect wheat.

Uncle Wen feels a little embarrassed because Xia Yi gives him enough holidays every month. He never thinks that any job can take eight days off a month.

In addition, Xia Yi even gave him a wheat harvest leave to come back to collect wheat.

In the past, when we sent firewood to the capital, we couldn't even have a rest on the first day of the lunar new year. In a few months, the only time we had to stop work was because King Mu came back from flood control, and no miscellaneous vehicles were allowed to enter the city.

Xia Yi gave uncle Wen two days' wheat harvest leave.

Uncle Wen quickly took back all the wheat in his field and pulled a whole two oxen cart.

When the second bus returned to the village, he made a special detour and passed by Xia Yi's house.

Xia Yi makes some snacks and is about to send them to granny Liu. Then she sees uncle Wen standing at her door and planning to pat the door.

Looking at the back of Uncle Wen, it was a cart of wheat, piled up more than one person high, tightly fixed on the cart with hemp rope.

"Just come back from the field?" Xia Yi greets uncle Wen.

"Well." Uncle Wen said, "I've finished all my work in the field. You should confiscate the wheat in the field, or I'll help you tomorrow? I have one more day off from my wheat harvest. "

"It's OK. Our family has little land. Uncle Changsheng said he would help me in two days, and my second uncle said he would come back to help me." Xia Yi refused, "you can grind wheat at home when you have this time."

Uncle Wen said with a smile: "no delay, no delay. It's too dry to collect wheat after two times. It's easy to touch the head of wheat and it's hard to collect."

"Not bad for two days." Xia Yi said, and then she looked into uncle Wen's eyes, "Uncle Wen, when did you get up this morning? My eyes are red. "

"Not early, not early." Uncle Wen said, rubbing his eyes with his sleeve.

In order to finish the work quickly to help Xia Yi, he got up early and didn't rest much at noon, so he took two mouthfuls of the meal sent by Aunt Wen, and finally collected all the wheat in one day.

Xia Yi is also aware that in this era of relying on human resources, it must take a lot of effort to collect all the wheat in one day.

So she is not willing to accept uncle Wen's help.

Uncle Wen went back angrily.

Xia Yi thought that uncle Wen gave up, but he didn't expect that uncle Wen would knock on Xia Yi's door the next morning.

"What's the matter, uncle Wen?" Xia Yi asked.

Uncle Wen said anxiously, "Xia Yi, did you go to collect wheat last night?"

Xia Yi asked blankly, "no, why do I go to collect wheat in the evening?"

"The wheat in your field is gone!"

"What do you mean?" The wheat grows well in the field. How can it disappear?

Uncle Wen said, "just follow me to have a look."

On the way to the field, uncle Wen tells Xia Yi that when he went to collect the wheat yesterday, he went to Xia Yi's house to see it. The wheat is still growing well in the field.

Early this morning, when he wanted to help Xia Yi collect the wheat secretly, he found that there was only neat stubble left in the wheat field.

He knew that Xia Yi was still making snacks at home during the day yesterday, and he didn't go to the field, so he thought that Xia Yi had collected the wheat all night.

Now I know that Xia Yi doesn't know, that is to say, the wheat in Xia Yi's field has been stolen

These days, he has seen people who steal rice and needles, but he has never seen people who steal a whole field of wheat.

After uncle Wen came to the field, Xia Yi looked around and found that the wheat on both sides was growing well there, but the wheat in her plot was gone and bare.

"Uncle Wen, who owns these two pieces of land?" Xia Yi asked.

Uncle Wen replied, "the plot on the left belongs to your second uncle's family, and the plot on the right belongs to Changsheng's family."

"How long will it take to cut all the wheat if there is only one person in my two acres of land?" Xia Yi asks again.

Uncle Wen thought about it and said, "if you're alone, you'll have to spend a day. No matter how fast you move, you'll have to spend most of the day."

"Uncle Wen, did you see anyone come to my house yesterday?" Xia Yi asks again.

Uncle Wen shook his head and said, "my plot is far away. I came to have a look yesterday morning. I don't know what happened during the day

"Wait, it's too blatant of you to say that they stole it in the daytime." Uncle Wen's incredible way.

Xia Yixia went to have a look, and he could see the rutting marks in the wheat field. The rutting marks were not narrow, and the stubble was turned over. He could see that it was not a small cart.

And there are little dewdrops on the crushed stubble, which shows that the wheat in the field was not pulled away this morning, but was pulled away yesterday, otherwise there would be no dewdrops on the stubble.

"Look, uncle Wen." Xia Yi squats down and points out the dew to Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen has been working all his life, and he is also a man with rich life experience. After Xia Yi's advice, he immediately understood it.

"It's just... There's no royal law." Wen Shutai was too shocked to say such a word.

Xia Yi said: "so I infer that it must be an acquaintance."

With that, she stood up and looked around. This piece of wheat has not been collected yet. Only about 70 or 80 meters in front of her, there are two wheat harvesters.

From this distance, they may not be able to see the movement here.

However, if you want to come here, you have to go through those two fields

Xia Yi thinks so, then inquires about the owner of those two fields with Uncle Wen.

One of them is Niu Fengzhi's, so Xia Yi decides to ask Niu Fengzhi's first.

Xia Yi has dealt with Niu Fengzhi several times and knows that she is warm-hearted. If she sees something, she won't hide it.

Niu Fengzhi thought about it carefully and said, "yesterday I finished collecting wheat very early. I really didn't notice who went to your field."

"Who did aunt Fengzhi see go in that direction yesterday?" Xia Yi asked in a different way.

There were not many people who just started to collect wheat yesterday. Niu Fengzhi remembered all the people she met yesterday. After she said a few names, she suddenly remembered something and said, "by the way, I saw your second aunt yesterday. Her mother's brother came to help collect wheat. You said that your second uncle really did not come back to help me in the past two years..."

Later Niu Fengzhi said something, she did not hear clearly, but the word "Er Auntie" was very clear.

She thought... It's time for her to go to maocuilan's house.
