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

Ma Liushi was shocked 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 old man did was not an ordinary danger, otherwise how could he have the opportunity to get such a thing?

Mu Yangling put away the gold bars and said, "Since it was sent by the little general, there is 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, "You can't rely on your father alone, 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 when winter begins." She also dug out some small things from the bag, "Your father bought these for you, Ah Ling, for your younger brothers and sisters." Let's take it."

Ma Liu saw that although Shu Wanniang was smiling, her 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 will have a few words with your mother." talk."

Mu Yangling took the things to his room.

Mu Shi bought some small pearl flowers for her and Xiuhong Xiulan, and a seal for Bowen.

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

"Hurry up." Mu Yangling calculated the time in his mind, Mu Shi has been away from home for two months, no matter how difficult the task is, it should be completed soon, right? It's not a long-term latency.

Mu Yangling didn't expect that this sentence made them wait for more than a month.

Mu Yangling was sitting on a stool with hay. The rabbits she raised now filled nine sheds, and the remaining one was used to house the young rabbits, because the rabbits are already very large, and the supply of grass in the pasture area is somewhat insufficient. So, Mu Yangling went up the mountain and cut a lot of grass, dried it in the yard, and fed it section by section, so that the rabbit meat would be firmer.

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

Old man Sun walked over, leaned against the wall of Mu's house, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "Didn't all the scholars say that with God, everything is a dog, and so are people. God is not benevolent, why? Will it give us a way out?"

Mu Yangling, who had just taken the tea bowl to drink water, sprayed it out, almost spraying it on Xiuhong who was pouring water for her.

Mu Yangling coughed and said happily, "Grandpa Sun is really knowledgeable, he can even say what I say?"

Old man Sun patted his head in embarrassment, "I learned it just by listening, how can it be compared to you who have all learned characters seriously?"

Mu Yangling said slightly seriously: "Grandpa Sun, Taoists say that heaven and earth are not benevolent. Actually, I don't agree with it. On the contrary, I think God is the most benevolent and righteous. All things in this world are common people, and it treats them equally and allows them to survive and multiply in it. Breathing, 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 the sky and the earth is balanced. The rain in the sky is caused by the sun evaporating the water vapor on the ground, and then the rain in the sky falls again."

Mu Yangling said: "Last year's heavy snows consumed a lot of water vapor. For balance, there may be drought this summer. Maybe there is more water in another place, and this side will be dry. Maybe it will be dry this year. In a few or two years, the hidden clouds will reappear, and the ground will be flooded again. We cannot control the weather now, but we can only control our own behavior as much as possible."

Old man Sun and Mrs. Ma Liu did not understand.

Ma Liushi directly changed the subject and asked, "Why is Old Brother Sun free to sit here today?"

Old man Sun was silent for a while, and said: "Isn't it because the water in the river is getting less and less. In a few days, if it doesn't rain again on this day, we will start irrigation? Old sister, do you see that the ditch in your house is not Do you want to block it? The folks in our village can say that people nearby can still draw water from your ditch, but other villages have objections, thinking that your ditch has taken up a lot of water... "

What about cheating ghosts?

Mrs. Ma Liu felt contemptuous. People in other villages also dig ditches. They have never heard of anyone telling them to block them. This is the water conservancy that they have dug hard. How can they be blocked?

After all, the people in the village are jealous of the convenience of the Mu family.

Not only are there two large water canals passing through her own land, it is convenient to carry water for irrigation, but there are also small water ditches on the grass of more than 60 mu of land. Carrying water around is not tiring. Walking along the small ditch in this way can cover more than 60 mu of land in ten days. Therefore, even in droughts, their pasture grows well, and they can feed more than 3,000 chickens. rabbit……

Mrs. Ma Liu was silent for a long time, she didn't want to conflict with everyone because of this matter, anyway, as the river water became less and less, most of the ditches would have to be shut down, so she said along the way: "Okay, my name is Ling another day Go and block the ditch, but I'll say the ugly things first, it's okay to block the ditch, but I don't have time to drain the water in the ditch, so don't come to me for an inch later."

"Look at what the old sister said? Am I that kind of person?" Old man Sun felt relieved after receiving the confirmation letter, and got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, as long as the old sister remembers this."

Mrs. Ma Liu nodded, and when she saw him leaving, she turned her head and said to Mu Yangling: "A Ling, you will block the ditch tomorrow, and then go to your uncle's house and call your cousins." Come over and build a thatched hut at the rabbit shed. After two days, my aunt will move there to live and watch it herself. I still don’t feel at ease if the rabbit is left there like this. It’s a dry day, and people’s hearts will be impetuous. , it is easy to do bad things when you are impetuous."

"That can't be guarded by my aunt, I'll go."

Ma Liushi glared at her, "Don't worry about this big family? Don't worry, I'm just going to light a lamp. As long as there is a light on, those people will shrink their courage, but this family is different. Although you don't say it, But I also know that your father has done great things outside, if someone who offends comes to your door, and you are outside again, we are old, weak and weak, and we are young, we must not be slaughtered by others?"

Mu Yangling pondered, and Ma Liushi patted her, and said with a hearty smile: "Don't worry, my aunt has traveled more roads than you have eaten salt, and I know the little thieves watching rabbits best. Some people have lights, and with the 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 came in from the outside with an unshaven beard, looking at the people in the yard with piercing eyes.

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