Mu Yangling received the bag and opened it to see that it was a five-foot stack of soft cotton cloth, with a gold bar hidden inside.

Ma Liu was startled when he saw the gold bar, and hurried to close the door, "Where did your father get this thing?"

Mu Yangling also frowned slightly, it seems that the work that the father does is not ordinary dangerous, otherwise how can there be a chance to get such a thing?

Mu Yangling put away the gold bar and said, "Since it was sent by the little general, it's no problem. We just put it away, auntie, now we don't have to worry about what to do if there is a drought."

Ma Liu frowned, "That can't be entirely up to your father, let's sit and eat at home, right?"

Shu Wanniang was very optimistic and said with a smile, "It won't be more difficult than it was in winter," she also dug out some small things from her bag, "Your father bought this for you, A Ling, for your younger siblings. Let's take it."

Seeing Shu Wanniang smiling, Ma Liu's eyes turned red. Knowing that she was worried about Mu Shi, she sighed in her heart and put the burden in Mu Yangling's arms, saying, "Go, I'll tell your mother a few words. talk."

Mu Yangling took the things to his room.

Mu Shi bought some beads for her and Xiuhong Xiulan, and gave Bowen a seal.

Bowen was very happy to receive the gift from his father, he sighed and covered it on the paper, and asked his sister excitedly, "Sister, when will Daddy come back? I miss him."

"Come on." Mu Yangling calculated the time in his heart. Mu Shi has been away from home for two months. No matter how difficult the task is, it should be completed soon, right? Not long-term lurking.

Mu Yangling did not expect that this sentence would make them wait for more than a month.

Mu Yangling is sitting on the stool next to the hay. She has now filled nine sheds with rabbits, and the remaining one is used to hold young rabbits, because the rabbits are already big now, and the supply of grass in the pastoral area is somewhat insufficient. , Mu Yangling went up the mountain to cut a lot of grass, dried it in the yard, and then fed it into sections, so that the rabbit meat would be firmer.

Ma Liu sat on the steps and looked at the big sun in the sky, and sighed: "God doesn't give people a way to live."

Old Man Sun paced over and leaned against the wall of Mu's house. He also looked up at the sky and sighed: "Not all scholars have said that in God, everything is a dog, and so are people. God is unkind and unjust, why? Will it give us a way to live?"

Mu Yangling, who had just taken the tea bowl to drink water, sprayed it out with a sip and almost sprayed it on Xiuhong who poured her water.

Mu Yangling coughed and said happily: "Grandpa Sun is really knowledgeable and can even say what Lao Tzu said?"

Old Man Sun patted his head embarrassedly, "I learned it just by listening to it, how can it compare to that you have all learned the word seriously?"

Mu Yangling said solemnly: "Grandpa Sun, Taoists say that heaven and earth are not benevolent, but I don't agree. Instead, I think that God is the most benevolent and righteous. In this world, there are all things in the world, and it treats them equally and allows them to survive and reproduce in it. To live, this is the greatest benevolence and righteousness.”

"Then why doesn't it rain for us?" Old Man Sun asked in confusion.

"This is also a part of nature. Generally speaking, the energy between heaven and earth is balanced. The rain in the sky is caused by the sun evaporating the water vapor on the ground and rises, and then the rain in the sky falls again."

Mu Yangling said: "The heavy snow last year consumed a lot of water vapor. In order to balance it, this summer may be dry. Maybe there is more water in another place, and this is dry. Maybe this year, it will be dry. After a few years, the hidden cloud will reappear, and the ground will be flooded again. We can't control the weather now, we can only control our behavior as much as possible."

Old Man Sun and Mrs Ma Liu could not understand.

Ma Liu directly changed the subject and asked, "How come Brother Sun is free to come and sit today?"

Old Man Sun was silent for a while, and said, "It's not that the water in the river is getting less and less. In a few days, if it doesn't rain that day, will we start watering? Old sister, look at that ditch in your house. Want to block it? Our villagers in the village are okay to say that people nearby can still scoop water from your ditch, but other villages have opinions, thinking that your ditch takes up a lot of water... "

What about cheating ghosts?

Ma Liu despised in his heart. There are also people in the outer village who dig ditches and dig ditches. I have never heard of anyone telling them to block them. This is all water conservancy dug by others. How could it be blocked?

In the final analysis, the villagers were jealous of Mu’s convenience.

Not only are there two large ditches that pass through her own land, and it is convenient to carry water for watering, but there are also small ditches on the 60-plus acres of pastures. Xiuhong takes a spoon and a wooden bucket to carry the water and splash the weeds every day. It is not tiring to carry water around, so walking along the small ditch like this can cover more than 60 acres of land in ten days, so even when it is dry, their pasture grows well and feeds about 3,000 animals. rabbit....

Ma Liu was silent for a while, and he didn't want to have a conflict with everyone because of this. Anyway, as the river water became less and less, most of the ditches would be closed, so he pushed the boat and said: "Okay, another day, my name is A Ling. Go and plug the ditch, but I'll tell you the ugly thing, it's okay to plug the ditch, but I don't have time to drain the water in the ditch, so don't come to me when you look back."

"Look at what the old sister said? Am I that kind of person?" Old Man Sun got the letter, put his mind at ease, got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, the old sister just remembers this matter."

Ma Liu nodded, and when he saw that he was gone, he turned around and said to Mu Yangling: "A-Ling, tomorrow, you will block the drain, and then go to your uncle's house and call you some cousins. I came here to build a thatched hut at the Rabbit Shack. In two days, my aunt will move there to live there and guard it in person. I'm still worried that the rabbit will be left there like this. , it is easy to do bad things when you are impetuous.”

"Then I can't watch my auntie, I'll go."

Ma Liu glared at her, "Don't worry about this big family? Don't worry, I'm just going to light a lamp, as long as the lamp is on, those people's courage will have to shrink, but this family is different, although you don't say it, But I also know that your father has done a big thing outside. If someone offends him and you are outside, we are old and old, weak and weak, and we are young, so we should not be slaughtered by others?"

Mu Yangling pondered, Ma Liu patted her and said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, my aunt has traveled more than you have eaten, and she knows best about those little furry thieves who peep at rabbits, as long as there Someone has a lamp, and if there is a backing of the little general, they have to weigh the consequences, and our Mu family is not easy to bully."

"Who bullied our Mu family?" Mu Shi pulled the door open from the outside, looking at the people in the yard with bright eyes.

Mu Yangling stared at his father dumbfounded. Before he could react, Shu Wanniang had already rushed out of the house door, looking at him with red eyes, "You, are you back?"
