Pig Killer

Chapter 122

Swish... Da Chong and the others all looked at her.

"What method?" Da Chong looked at his mother excitedly and said.

"Let's go find your grandmother." Shen Hui'e started walking.

"Hey, hey, hey! Mother, what a mess this is." Da Chong quickly called out to his mother, saying, this is too panic!

"I'll take care of this!" Cheng Donglai said with a smile, "I'll take care of the stall."

"Thank you for your help." Shen Hui'e looked back at them and said.

"Mother, wait for me." The big tiger and the cat slave started to chase after them.

"I'm going to trouble Brother Cheng to take care of the family." Da Chong turned around and said to Cheng Donglai and the others.

"Go!" Cheng Donglai said with a smile when he heard this.

"I'll tell you the details when I come back." The big tiger walked backwards and said to them with a smile.

"Be careful, don't get tripped." Cheng Donglai looked at him worriedly.

"I got it." The big tiger turned around and ran towards his mother.

"Mother, mother, what should we do?" the big tiger asked.

"I wonder if it will work?" Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at them and said.

"Let's give it a try!" The big tiger looked at her with his eyes wide open and said cheerfully.

"The backbone of today's straw man is wood, a wooden stick, right!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and clear eyes.

"Yes! The cross is filled with hay. It won't move." The raccoon blinked his eyes like black grapes and looked at her and said, "There are rags on the hay to make it look like a human, or a tattered straw hat."

"What do you want to do, mother?" the big tiger asked, looking at her with its round eyes.

"No matter how much wind blows, these reeds can't be blown down, right?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

"Ah..." The big tiger looked at his mother excitedly and said, "My mother wants the straw man to be like a reed, swaying back and forth in the wind."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded happily, "This way we can move around instead of standing there."

"Tie two more strips of cloth on these 'hands' and let them swing." The raccoon slave looked at her with his innocent big eyes and said.

"Snap..." Shen Hui'e snapped her fingers and said, "That's what I mean."

"Let's go, let's go find grandma." The big tiger said quickly.

"I just don't know if the reeds will be broken by the wind." Shen Hui'e frowned and said worriedly, "Can it hold up the straw man?"

"Let grandma try." The big tiger looked at them with his black eyes and said.

&*&

The mother and her two daughters hurried to the Huang family compound, where the women of the Huang family were picking beans.

"His second aunt is here." Huang's eldest sister-in-law Jiang greeted with a smile while sitting under the pomegranate tree.

"sister in law."

"Auntie!" Da Chong asked anxiously, "Where's grandma?"

"Mother is in the house?" Jiang turned around and called into the house, "Mother, his second aunt is here."

"Why are you here?" Huang's mother looked at them with a smile while holding up the straw curtain and said, "Come in quickly, it's sunny outside."

"Go sit on the bench. It's cool in the room now, not hot at all." Huang's mother said, pointing at the bed.

Shen Hui'e sat on the bench with the back of her skirt and said straight to the point, "I came here for the straw man in the field."

"What's wrong?" Huang's mother sat on a small stool and put the basket of beans on her legs.

"That straw man can't drive away the birds that steal the crops." Shen Hui'e looked at her with bright eyes and said.

"I know. The children have gone to the fields, holding sticks to chase the birds away." Huang's mother smiled and said, "Don't worry. The birds will return to their nests at night."

"Tired birds return to their nests and rest when the sun sets." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear and bright eyes and said.

"Yes! That's what I mean." Huang's mother smiled and said, "You are still good at talking." She frowned and said, "But there are field mice coming out at night." She sighed and said, "At night, people are needed in the fields." She looked at her gently and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I think it would be nice if this straw man could move." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear and bright eyes.

"What?" Huang's mother looked at her with eyes wide open, "How is this possible?"

Shen Hui'e glanced around and then looked outside the house, looking at the reeds in the yard.

"I'll go pick it up." The big tiger ran out and picked up a reed from the yard.

"Here, mother." Shen Hui'e handed the reed to her mother.

"What do you want this for?" Huang's mother looked at her in confusion.

Shen Hui'e pulled the reed stem with her hands and said, "Look at this reed swaying back and forth. If we make a straw man out of it, and it sways in the wind and moves, wouldn't it be better than just standing there?"

"Grandma, grandma, tie some cloth strips on these two's hands, and they'll swing in the wind." The raccoon pointed at the bamboo dragonfly above his head, "It's like it's chasing away flies."

Huang's mother understood and said with a smile, "You can give it a try."

"Where is uncle? I'll go find him." Da Chong looked at his grandmother anxiously and asked.

"Your uncle is busy! Your aunt and I did this little thing." Huang's mother said cheerfully, "Isn't it just making a few straw men and making them move when the wind blows?" She said easily, "It's simple."

"I'm afraid if it's too thin, it will break if the wind blows. If it's too thick, the wind won't be able to blow it away." Shen Hui'e expressed her concerns.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied." Huang's mother smiled and asked, "Let's just do this!"

"Nothing else, just this." Shen Hui'e nodded and said, "Hurry up, this bird is too hateful."

"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll plant this straw man in the field for you. Go and see if it's useful." Huang's mother said cheerfully.

"Then we'll leave and not disturb you anymore." Shen Hui'e stood up and said after hearing this.

"I'll give it to you." Huang's mother put the beans on the long table and said.

"No, no, go ahead and do your work!" Shen Hui'e said with a smile and waved her hand.

"Then take care." Huang's mother smiled and said, raising her voice, "Yuan Ji's mother, see his second aunt off."

"Hey!" Jiang responded neatly.

After Jiang sent her sister-in-law away, she turned back and went into the house, "Mother, should I make this straw man now?"

"Do it now, go ahead!" Huang's mother ordered directly, "It's absolutely feasible. Look at the reeds. When the wind blows, they sway and there are no birds."

"Okay!" Jiang responded readily.

&*&

The next day, the soft straw man was ready, and Jiang carried it and planted it in the ground.

"How is it, sister-in-law? Is this right?" Jiang said while standing on the edge of the field and looking at her.

The breeze blew the straw man into a dance, and the cloth in his hand swayed in the wind. Sure enough, a bird tried to get close to it, but was slapped away.

"It works!" Jiang said, looking at the straw man with sparkling eyes, and laughed heartily, "Okay, I'll go back and continue working on it." She said confidently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll plant some on your land later."

"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law." Shen Hui'e looked at her gratefully and said.

"It's just a piece of cake." Jiang said with a smile, "What trouble is that!" She added quickly, "I'm leaving now. I'll hurry back and do it!"

"Let's go too." Shen Hui'e looked at Da Chong and Li Nu, brother and sister, and said.

Three days later, a group of dancing scarecrows appeared in the field.

The working people's drive for action is truly amazing.

The effect was significant. As expected, the birds were beaten by the straw man and dared not steal food anymore.

Even the voles were fewer in number, and they were obviously frightened.

If you walk on the street late at night without knowing the situation, you will definitely be scared.

It really happened. He was drunk and got so scared that he fell into a ditch and sprained his ankle.

Everyone in the county knew about this unlucky guy and laughed for a long time.

&*&

After Grain Full, the wheat becomes yellower day by day, golden as if the ground is covered with gold.

When the wind blows, the wheat waves roll, which is so beautiful!

There is nothing more joyful than a good harvest.

Ten days later, the harvest begins!

It was dawn in the morning and it seemed as if everyone in the county was working in the fields.

There were crystal clear dewdrops hanging on the grass leaves. When the breeze blew, the dewdrops rolled around on the grass leaves and finally dripped down the tips of the grass.

Shen Hui'e was fully armed, wearing a straw hat and a scarf that covered her mouth and nose, leaving only her beautiful peach blossom eyes exposed.

He wore leggings, his cuffs were tied tightly, and he wore linen gloves.

Wearing thick cloth socks and straw sandals, Shen Hui'e took a sickle and went to the fields.

Because of the summer harvest, not only her pork stall was closed, but most other shops in the county were also closed.

The shop that was opened was a big one. The shop assistants had all gone home to harvest the wheat, and the shopkeeper, the owner, was in charge personally.

The sickle in Shen Hui'e's hand had long been sharpened by Tie Feng to an extremely sharp edge.

With the help of the bellows, the reforged sickle was of extremely high quality, like a precious sword, able to cut hair with a single blow.

The wheat was harvested at a very fast speed.

At the beginning, Shen Hui'e was not very skilled. After all, she had never really used a sickle to harvest wheat, and she was really afraid that the sickle would hurt her feet.

Harvesting wheat was a bit slow, but after half an hour, it became much more efficient.

He grabbed the wheat stalks, cut them down in one go, and laid them down.

The big beasts behind them were taking the harvested wheat and bundling it.

After getting used to using the sickle, Shen Hui'e started to kill everyone around her.

The speed is fast, twice as fast as that of experienced farmers.

"Wow..." Da Chong's eyes widened as he looked at his mother in disbelief, then at the farmers who were harvesting wheat in other fields.

"Mother's speed is too fast!" Li Nu's eyes almost popped out of the window.

"Why?" Cheng Donglai looked at them in confusion, then looked at his aunt who was bending over to cut wheat.

"I'll ask you later when we rest." Da Chong thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother A Niang now."

"Okay then!" Li Nu nodded seriously.

"With so many of us, we have to catch up quickly." Da Chong bent down again and started to bundle.

The weather in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is dry and hot, and the sun is shining brightly. It is really scorching.

In the middle of the morning, Shen Hui'e stopped, looked at the people who were bundling wheat behind her and said, "Let's go. We're done."

"Ah!" The tiger looked at her in astonishment and said, "Why?" He looked at the people working in the fields and said, "They are still working!"
