Farmhouse smoke rises

Chapter 48

After half a month of martial law in Qingshui Town, the city gate was finally opened.Although the city has been closed for such a long time, it is said that the murderer has not been caught, and even the high officials sent by the above have nothing to do with the murderer. Finally, I heard that I can only find a death row prisoner from the prison to replace him. The real murderer crosses paths.

Moreover, after half a month of this pass, the mood of the people in the whole town became a little unstable.Especially those whose families were outside the town, at that time there was still so much homework left to be done. This half-month check not only delayed the work at home, but even some farmers did not bring enough money, and had no money in the later stage In order to survive, he had to go begging on the street, which caused wailing.Under such pressure, the government opened the city gate.

Niu’s new plow stick must not be able to be made in just a few days, but Wang Sang saw that grandma’s eyes could not be delayed, so he planned to let Su Yu go to the town again to get the new tweezers back first, and then wait for the plow stick. After it was done, let Su Gu'an drive the bullock cart to pull it back.

The work in the family's field is almost done. Wang Sang has been shaking the corn with a corn machine at home these days, shaking all the corn grains, and selling them for money.This is called a "corn machine", not the kind that uses electricity in modern society, but an iron one, with a raised and pointed iron bag all over it, and a vertical tube that can hold a corn on the side .After putting the corn in, shake the handle on the other side, and through the force of squeezing, all the corn grains can be shaken off.However, this tool takes a lot of time and requires a lot of manpower. There is only such a corn machine at home, so it needs to be replaced from time to time.

Su Gu'an went to help Uncle Li's house build a new house. Now the men in the village have almost finished their work in the field. It is estimated that Uncle Li's house will be built in a few days.Su Yu felt a little relieved when he heard the news, so he didn't worry that Uncle Li's family would not be able to survive the winter, and it was almost the beginning of winter.

After breakfast, the whole family went to work, and Su Yu was about to leave for the town.

"Mom, then I'm leaving. If I don't come back at noon, don't wait for me to eat." Su Yu said to Wang Sang who was shaking the corn behind him.Wang Sang lowered his head. On the left was a large pile of corn husks, and a large pile of corn grains had piled up on the board under the corn machine.

"Da Yu, wait a moment." Wang Sang suddenly remembered that he wanted to find something for Su Yu, and quickly stopped her.

After running to the kang and rummaging through the closet for a long time, Wang Sang took out a worn cotton coat, "Come on Dayu, put this on, the temperature outside has cooled down again, don't freeze it."

Su Yu looked at the padded coat with patches piled upon patches, and suddenly felt that it was the most beautiful dress in the world.She didn't take it, but waved her hands repeatedly and refused: "No mother, I'm not cold, you can keep it for yourself."

But Wang Sang shook his head, got off the ground and put his clothes on Su Yu's body: "I don't need it, I'm in the house and I won't go out."

"Then keep it for my dad. My dad has to work outside."

"He's fine. He's doing physical work. He'll get hot after a while, so you can get dressed."

Seeing that Su Yu couldn't refuse, she put on the clothes bit by bit.Although the clothes are worn out, it can be seen that Wang Sang washed them and put them in the box, because there is a very sweet smell of acacia on them.

"Then I'm leaving, mother."

"Well, be careful on the road." Watching Su Yu leave, Wang Sang returned to the house.The harvest in the field this year is still good. After selling all the grain in a few days, maybe I can add a set of cotton clothes for the whole family. Thinking of this, Wang Sang has the strength to work.

Wearing an ill-fitting cotton padded jacket, Su Yu started to head towards the town.

The road that has been walked many times has been deeply imprinted in Su Yu's mind now. Along the way, she thought about how to tell the boss of the blacksmith shop, because after all, she just asked the boss to do the nails last time Knife parts, did not mention to him to make tweezers and plow sticks.

Su Yu's journey was still very fast, and it was still early when he reached the town.Because she was wearing an inappropriate cotton coat, many people turned their heads to look at the little girl, some with sympathy, and some with disdain.

Su Yu doesn't care what other people think of her, as long as she stays warm anyway.Besides, although this town is regarded as the boundary of Su City, it is just a city gate guard, how can it be richer than farmers like them.Fortunately, they can really put on a high profile to see themselves.

On the way to the blacksmith's shop, she also passed Fugui Restaurant.Because there was such a murder case in full view, the business in this place is obviously not as good as before. Looking from the open door to the lobby on the first floor, there are only a few scattered people seated.

Turning around, she took a look at the Shunfeng Restaurant in the alley. The owner of that place seemed to have changed, and the man who was tied up in the backyard did not appear in her sight.In fact, Su Yu was still a little curious. The man in white didn't kill the owner of Shunfeng Restaurant to silence him, but his appearance was also seen by others, so he wasn't afraid of being told by the owner of Shunfeng Restaurant?
Maybe the man in white is easy to see. Isn't there such a thing in ancient times? It's really strange.

"Hey! You beggar! Don't stand at the door of our restaurant! Go, go, go!" A shop waiter saw that Su Yu had been standing at the door for a long time, and rushed out with his broom.

Su Yu looked back, and there was no beggar here, only later did she realize that she was talking about herself.

"You are the beggar! Your whole family is a beggar!" Su Yu scolded the guy who looked down upon others angrily.Didn't she just wear a shabby cotton coat? Besides, a real beggar would definitely not be able to wear a cotton coat!
"You beggar! How dare you talk back to my uncle! Let's see how I deal with you!" The shop boy called Su Yu with a broom.

"Ah! Help!" Su Yu looked at the burly fellow, and felt that she really couldn't beat him. Anyway, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so it's best to go now!Ever since, he let go of his feet and ran into the distance.

"Stop! Don't run!"

It wasn't until Su Yu realized that he seemed to have thrown off the shop waiter that he squatted on the ground and panted heavily.

"What kind of world is this, to be regarded as a beggar..." Who knew that before she finished speaking, a copper plate hit the ground in front of her.

When she turned around again, the person who gave her a copper coin could no longer be found.Su Yu held the copper plate and stared at it for a long time, even more dumbfounded.

By the time Su Yu arrived at the blacksmith's shop, it was already a quarter of an hour later.The door of the blacksmith's shop was wide open. From the door, one could see a shirtless man smelting the iron in full swing. From time to time, he would cool the iron sheet with cold water. When the hot iron sheet hit the cold water, it immediately burst into flames. There was a hissing sound, and there were wisps of white smoke.

After the blacksmith finally finished his work, Su Yu walked in slowly.
