Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 114 Mysterious Black Shadow

"What's the matter? Why don't you let people see it?"

At this moment, An Yue really wanted to separate the yard and open a new gate.

She took a bite of the food and said, "You can look at it, but why are you touching it?"

Grandmother Zhou said sarcastically: "Don't worry, I don't eat grass."

An Yue ignored her and let her talk!

After she finished speaking, seeing that An Yue ignored her, perhaps because she felt bored, she turned around and went to bask in the sun at the door of her main house.

At this time, An Chengde walked towards Zhou.

When Zhou saw her husband coming, she covered her mouth and laughed and said to An Chengde, "Old man, look at this strange thing. Finding wild grass to fill your stomach when you are hungry is really not something that ordinary people can think of."

Grandfather An Chengde looked at Grandmother Zhou blankly and scolded her, "If you have nothing to do all day, go dig in the fields this afternoon!"

After An Chengde finished speaking, he glanced at the weeds in the winnowing basket, then turned around and went back to the main house.

An Yue turned around with the bowl in her hand and walked towards her room, then closed the door and prepared for a nap.

——Two quarters of an hour passed.

An Yue woke up, washed her face, took some eggplant and spinach seeds, put a basin of wood ash in her backpack, and went to the field with a hoe.

Now, with my back to the sky and my face to the earth, I can truly feel the true hardship of the poem "Song of Pity the Peasant", "hoeing the field at noon, sweat dripping down to the ground."

I remember that in the 21st century, people didn’t eat this or that, and were very picky about every meal they had, which was a complete waste of food.

Now that I have fallen to the point of digging in the soil for food, I am afraid this is the cycle of karma.

An Yue had been digging for two days straight. Not only was her whole body sore, but she also had two blisters on her palms.

She had been crawling and rolling around in the fields all afternoon. She had already sown the eggplant and spinach seeds and was just waiting for them to take root and sprout.

The next step is to dig herbs. Today, I will pick up the fat and thick dandelions and plantains from my own fields.

Although a lot has been dug up in their own fields in the past two days, the amount the shopkeeper wants is much more than that. An Yue plans to go to the wasteland to dig for another day tomorrow to get the full number.

It was almost afternoon and the sun was setting in the west.

After leaving school, An Nian went straight to the fields.

From a distance, he called out, "Sister."

An Yue stood up, looked up and smiled and said, "Niannian is back!"

"Sister, every year you go home first to change into old clothes, and then come back to carry herbs."

"Okay, okay, go ahead! Remember to bring your sickle when you go to the field." An Yue handed the key to the east room door to An Nian.

After taking the key, An Nian walked towards home.

A moment later, An Nian came to the field carrying his small backpack.

From a distance, he said to An Yue: "Sister, today the teacher taught us to recite the Three Character Classic, explained the meaning of the Three Character Classic to us, and then taught us to read and write."

An Nian put down the backpack, picked up the sickle and started digging herbs. He said to An Yue with a proud smile: "Niannian, you have learned it all. Recite it to your sister."

An Yue smiled and replied, "Okay! Now that I have learned it, I must tell my sister about it often in the future so that she can learn it too."

"As long as you don't mind, I'd be happy to tell you!"

Then An Nian began to recite.

An Yue listened carefully to An Nian reciting: "When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..."

An Yue heard that An Nian had only memorized five sentences, so she asked, "Did you learn five sentences today?"

An Nian nodded repeatedly and asked, "Sister, is it correct to recite it every year?"

"They are all correct! But Nian Nian, do you understand the meaning of these five sentences?"

An Nian nodded and continued, "The teacher explained it to us very clearly! The first sentence is that everyone is born with a pure and kind nature..."

……

An Nian said tirelessly...

An Yue looked at An Nian squatting on the ground, digging herbs and discussing knowledge. At this moment, she felt that no matter how hard or tiring it was, it was all worth it.

The brother and sister finished digging the herbs in their own field. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

The brother and sister hurriedly packed up their farm tools and prepared to go home, one after the other.

When they were almost at the gate of the An family's courtyard, An Nian suddenly turned around and whispered to An Yue, "Sister, look!"

An Yue looked in the direction An Nian pointed and whispered, "Is it a human figure?"

Although the sky was gray at this time, you could still clearly see a human figure.

He stood quietly outside the gate of the yard, his body pressed against the wall, and pried hard at the crack of the door with both hands, trying to peek into the situation in the yard.

An Yue quickly asked An Nian to squat down and keep silent.

An Nian shrank his neck and asked in a low voice with some fear: "Sister, what happened?"

"Hush... don't make any noise. We don't know who that is. Let's just squat here and see what he's going to do."

The brother and sister squatted by the side of the path, not daring to make a sound.

An Yue suddenly felt a splitting headache, and her mind was filled with the scene of her father and mother being assassinated, which she had witnessed with her own eyes.

Her heart beat faster and her breathing became rapid, as if she was back at the bloody scene again.

She held her head in her hands and tried to calm herself down, but her mind was like a movie playing, full of chaos.

An Yue's reason told her that this was a stress response.

But her brain didn't seem to belong entirely to her at this moment.

At this time, An Nian looked at An Yue in pain and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Sister, what happened to you? Sister..."

An Yue gritted her teeth and whispered, "Don't...don't make a sound."

An Nian quickly covered his mouth and nodded.

——A quarter of an hour later.

Oil lamps were lit in my grandfather's main room.

The figure then turned around and tiptoed away.

After watching the figure walk away, An Nian hurriedly supported An Yue.

"Is my sister feeling better?"

"Don't worry, Nian Nian, sister is fine."

The brother and sister then stood up and took the farm tools back home.

After the brother and sister pushed open the gate and entered the yard, they quickly closed the gate.

After entering the house, An Nian helped An Yue sit on the long table and lit the oil lamp.

He looked at An Yue, who was sweating and pale, and asked worriedly, "Sister, what happened to you?"

"Niannian, pour your sister a bowl of water first." An Yue lay on the eight-immortals table and spoke in a very weak voice.

After hearing this, An Nian hurriedly did as he was told.

An Nian said in a young voice: "Sister, the water is coming."

An Yue raised her head and began to drink the water in the bowl.

After drinking the water, An Yue said to An Nian seriously, "Niannian, did you see that figure just now?"

He responded with a "hmm" and listened to An Yue seriously.

"From now on, if someone asks you for your name, or your parents' names, don't tell them casually. Remember?"

An Nian rarely saw his sister speak so seriously. He bit his lower lip and nodded repeatedly.

Although he didn't know why his sister said this, he always felt that it was right to listen to her.

An Yue closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and said to An Nian:
