Chapter 80 Walking with You "You have given me a lot of happiness, I really don't know how to thank you." Surrounded by the three girls, Ke Han felt very happy. He chewed the sweet and sour mulberry dates and playfully
He said, "I really can't bear to leave you. If one day I find your young lady, when you return to the palace of Dingxi Marquis Xu Shen, don't forget me, the little county magistrate!"
Apple and the others had heard some stories about Ke Han before, especially the part about snatching a bride, which was deeply imprinted in their hearts. Therefore, all the bad man labels were focused on Ke Han.
Therefore, they had hated him very much. If it weren't for the fact that Miss Yan Zi had not yet been found, they would have definitely returned to Dingxihou's house due to their fear of Dingxihou Xu Shen.
However, at this moment, the three girls never imagined that the county magistrate was still a sentimental person, and there was no trace of arrogance and violence at all. Humans are such a fickle animal!
After hearing Ke Han's almost ridiculing words, the three of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the servants could be treated like this by the county magistrate. For a moment, they were so moved that they couldn't help themselves.
want to cry
"Tomorrow, I have to go out, and I have to leave you all for a while." Ke Han seemed a little sad. He paused and asked, "If you feel there is any inconvenience here, you can leave first..."
"Master, are you trying to drive us away?" Apple asked in surprise.
Lihua was also nervous, and she also asked: "Is there something about us that angered the master?"
Haitang said nothing. She looked at Ke Han quietly, with a trace of confusion and confusion in her eyes.
"Don't get me wrong!" Ke Han quickly explained, "I'm just afraid of delaying your good time."
Pingguo and Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and said together: "Master, you are worrying too much!"
Haitang asked with concern: "Master is a busy man, very tired! We have empty hands, not only can't help at all, but also make trouble for Master, how can we delay our good time? Your Excellency said this,
You just embarrass us three sisters!"
Haitang's words made Ke Han feel warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but say a few more words, and comforted Xinxinran: "This outing is actually to learn Buddhist scriptures, similar to traveling in mountains and rivers, not as heavy as you said haha!
"
"Master, you are so evil!" Apple laughed angrily with tears in her eyes.
"Why don't you take us with you!" Lihua became more active, "We can look for the lady along the way. With the master accompanying us, we can save a lot of trouble."
"You ladies are lucky to have good sisters like you who care about me all the time!" Ke Han was noncommittal. He was blaming himself in his heart. What about traveling to the mountains and rivers?
Apple and Lihua smiled proudly and still insisted on staying with Ke Han.
Haitang has experienced too many blows. Although she was a little embarrassed to bother Ke Han, she was still looking forward to going out and seeing things, so she smiled without saying a word.
Regarding the maids that Dingxihou's military attache (Dongfang Xiao) asked him to take care of, Ke Han really couldn't resist them. He smiled reluctantly and finally gave in and said: "Okay, let's call you brother and sister."
Are you looking for your Miss Yan Zi? Then the purpose is to find someone. Let me think about it, well, let’s just say it’s to look for your long-lost sister. It’s okay to take a walk around.”
At that moment, several people changed into casual clothes and drove a civilian carriage on the road.
I finally had some private time to do my own things, but being stared at by several maids again made me feel miserable.
Driving the carriage, stopping and stopping along the way was fine, but Ke Han always felt a little awkward, as if his feet were bound, and he was tied down and lost his freedom. He felt such a failure but couldn't express it, so he
I thought that I would have a chance to arrange their whereabouts, and then, it would be better to wander freely in the world alone!
But on this day, after driving a carriage all day, he came to a village called "Longtou". Ke Han specially found a farmer to rest.
He tied up the horse and started chatting with his employer on a whim.
"Dragon raises its head? This name is very nice. Boss, there must be some allusion to it?" Ke Han asked the farmer directly.
The head of the household was a relatively generous middle-aged man. He first glanced at the three girls, Apple and the others, who were running to the river dock to fetch water for their horses. He asked Ke Han with envy and resentment, "My guest is in a good mood and is very lucky. How can I bring you with me?"
You're taking three girls on an outing, and they're still vying to carry you water for your horse?"
Ke Han smiled casually without any explanation.
"Do you remember the farmer's proverb that says 'on February 2, the dragon raises its head'? It means that spring is coming, all things will revive, and the hidden dragon begins to move, indicating that the year's agricultural activities are about to begin. On February 2, our folk have shaved heads, offered sacrifices, and honored Wenchang.
God, eating noodles, fried cakes, popcorn, eating pig heads and other customs on this day also have certain dietary requirements. Because people believe in "Longwei Dafa", most of the food on this day is named after the dragon and eat spring cakes.
'Eating dragon scales', eating noodles is called 'Fulongxu', eating rice is called 'eating dragon seeds', eating wontons is called 'eating longan', and eating dumplings is called 'eating dragon ears'. These customs entrust people to pray for the dragon.
Blessings and a strong desire for good weather and good harvests!" The man explained enthusiastically.
Ke Han made a humming sound from time to time, expressing his interest, which aroused the man's enthusiasm.
The man was obviously showing off. He paused, coughed slightly and continued, "Our place was originally called 'Longba'. Originally, rice cultivation was the main purpose here. This area is famous as a land of fish and rice. But
For some reason, one year, the old Dragon King, who was about to raise his head, seemed to have forgotten his mission. As a result, the soil in the rice fields dried up and cracked, and a child's hand could fit into the cracks. This situation lasted for three years."
"Three years of drought?..." Ke Han was stunned. He simply couldn't believe there would be such extreme weather.
"Later, people couldn't hold it any longer, so they invited a famous wizard to do the dojo for several days, but unfortunately they couldn't even get a mist!" The middle-aged man introduced sarcastically, "Later, this place was
Instead of planting rice, we switched to soybeans. Then we changed again. We planted mulberry trees and raised silkworms. It keeps changing like this, but it’s really hurting us farmers!”
"Does this have anything to do with the dragon raising his head?" Ke Han asked doubtfully, he used this way to kill time
"Just because the old Dragon King forgot to raise his head, someone got angry and changed the name of 'Longba', and it became the current Dragon's Head! This is the origin of the Dragon's Head." The man chuckled and said, "When I came here
"Have you not seen the large tracts of mulberry trees here? They are all raising silkworms now."
"Oh, is that so?" Ke Han suddenly realized, and then said, "The scale of sericulture is quite large!"
"It used to be free-range breeding by each household, but now it's all taken over by the old Zou family, because he is friends with the owner of the silk reeling farm in our county, so he doesn't have to worry about sales! Oh, by the way, his breeding farm
It’s quite busy at this time, and we are short of manpower to pick mulberry trees. I think you might as well ask a few of your sisters to come and exercise and enjoy the fun of labor! Anyway, if you find people, the expenses along the way will definitely not be high.
You will be less likely to stay here for a long time and come into contact with more people, which may help you find someone! In addition, you don’t have to worry about food and accommodation, but you can’t kill two birds with one stone? I think, even if you have enough money to support it
, but it’s not as good as earning money every day! What do you think? Little brother!” The man introduced Ke Han enthusiastically and asked
"Well, you can consider this!" Ke Han chuckled, stood up from the long bench with only three legs, patted his butt, cupped his hands towards the man, turned around and rushed to the river to collect water.
