Chapter 33 Sister will take you to play golf
The threshing ground is quite large, with a row of dilapidated adobe houses on the side, a small forest behind it, and a mountain to the northwest.
In front of the threshing ground are vegetables and crops grown by the villagers.
The village head said to Li Rong, "You can rest here, but you are not allowed to touch anything on our land, and you are not allowed to go to the village casually."
Li Rong naturally agreed and ordered everyone not to steal vegetables or harass villagers, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
After digging up some sweet potatoes during the day, Xie Yanyan didn’t feel like digging wild vegetables anymore, so he played with the little bun in the threshing floor.
He took out a handful of glass marbles from the space marble checkers and played "mini golf" with Xiao Baozi and Xie Lingyu.
Let Xie Lingyu and Xiao Baozi pick up stones and bricks from the surrounding area to form a playground of about four square meters, and then dig three holes the size of red dates on the field.
She didn't take out the toy club, she just played it with her fingers.
Kick-off
Xie Lingyu gathered all his strength and fired the first shot, but his strength was too great and the marble hit the "wall" and did not go into the hole.
The little bun got excited: "Uncle, I'll do it, let Ah Sheng go first!"
Xie Yanyan originally wanted to tell them that the winner would be determined by the number of holes in the shot, but the little bun wanted to play first, saying that the rules were not important, the most important thing was to have fun.
The little bun stuck out his little butt, aimed at the little hole, and flicked his little finger with all his strength. Boom! It missed!
"Almost in, Auntie, I'm just a little bit closer."
"Well, that's great! Keep going and see how many bullets go in."
Song Lingling was pregnant and had been feeling listless. Seeing Xie Yanyan teaching the child to play marbles, she followed with interest. After a while, she began to give orders to the little kid.
"Ah Sheng, you bend your fingers too hard!"
"Asheng, a little bit to the left..."
All the children were attracted over here. Xie Yao also came to see. After looking for a while, he started to grab the items.
"You are so stupid. Let me play and go away." He came over and pushed the little bun without any courtesy.
Xie Yanyan was quick-witted and immediately grabbed him by the collar.
"Stay away from us." Xie Yanyan didn't curse, but the indifference on her face made Xie Yao suddenly sober up.
"Third sister, I want to play." He instantly became timid. He had been beaten a few days ago and was afraid.
"I won't play with you." Xie Yanyan didn't give him any face at all. He had no good feelings towards the naughty kid. "Go back to your place. If you dare to come near me, call me Lord Li."
Xie Yao's face turned red from holding his breath, and he stood there motionless in disappointment.
He couldn't get close, nor did he want to go back, so he just watched from the side.
Su Zhe, who had been acting like a young scholar, watched from the side for a while, and couldn't help but join in.
He lay on the ground, looking for the best angle with shining eyes, constantly trying to find the feel and technique of using force. He no longer looked like a little scholar.
Seeing Tang Zhan looking over there, Tang Xiaolin stopped carving and said to him, "Go play for a while. We have enough steamed buns to eat now. We can afford a box."
Tang Zhan hesitated for a while, but finally put down what he was holding and ran over to take a look.
Xie Yanyan looked at him with shining eyes, but said nothing. He then produced a few more marbles from the space and called Xie Yong over: "You play with Tang Zhan."
Tang Zhan and Xie Yong built a bigger "courtyard" and dug several long holes, medium holes and short holes. Xie Yanyan taught them the rules and played a few times himself.
Many people came over, but they couldn't get started, so they followed the instructions and shouted with shining eyes.
Everyone was having a great time and Li Rong didn't scold them. Escorting prisoners, especially to exile, was a long journey and the prisoners felt uncomfortable.
They are not in such a bad mood, so it is easier to carry them on the road.
However, Liu Mingjie said to him with a strange look: "Li, the beads they play with are all glass beads, and they are transparent. They are very smooth and have ribbons inside. Those beads are probably not cheap."
Li Rong was shocked and went over to pick one up. Yes, this glass bead is so exquisite and its price is inestimable!
The yamen runners were of low status and came from poor families. Although Li Rong was a soldier and slightly better off, he had never seen such fine glass beads.
He quickly went to find Xie Anfeng, pulled him aside, and asked, "Where did the Third Miss get those glass beads?"
When Xie Anfeng saw Xie Yanyan playing with his grandson and son, he didn't really look closely at what they were playing. Only after Li Rong said that did he go to take a look.
He was from a marquis's mansion and had met the emperor, so he naturally knew the value of the glass beads. These were much more exquisite than the glass beads presented to the emperor by princes from foreign vassal states when they came to Beijing.
Yan'er just took out a handful and gave them to the children to play with!
Li Rong saw his expression change, so he immediately said, "Fortunately it's getting dark, let Miss San put it away quickly to avoid any trouble."
Xie Anfeng nodded, walked over and said to Xie Yong, "Second brother, help your sister put away all these things. It's getting dark, and the headman will bring dinner soon."
Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu reluctantly put away the marbles. The marbles were smooth and fun, and Xiao Baozi grabbed them and didn't want to return them to Xie Yanyan.
Xie Anfeng took it from his hand and threatened him: "If it falls into your nostrils, you won't be able to breathe and you won't survive!"
The little bun immediately felt that he was angry and obediently handed the marbles to Xie Anfeng.
Xie Anfeng handed all the beads to Xie Yanyan and said, "Yan'er, count them carefully, is there anything missing?"
Xie Yanyan didn't care much at first, but she couldn't help but doubt Xie Anfeng's actions.
Is there something wrong with this bead?
Seeing her puzzled, Xie Anfeng whispered, "The beads are too expensive, be careful or you'll get into trouble."
Xie Yanyan held the beads in her hand and realized that the glass marbles, which she thought were the most common, could not be made with the current technology.
Fortunately, it is dark now and the children are focused on the game.
Before Tang Zhan left, he asked Xie Yanyan, "Miss Third, can the tubers we dug this morning be eaten raw?"
"Yes, but it tastes better when cooked." Xie Yanyan thought to himself that it was a tuber.
"Give me those things, I'll cook some rice porridge and give you a bowl, how about that?"
"Okay." Tang Zhan didn't think twice and immediately gave the three small sweet potatoes he had dug to Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan cooked a pot of rice porridge in an iron pot on a small red clay stove. She put Tang Zhan's three small sweet potatoes into the pot and cooked the porridge.
After the rice and yams were cooked, he quietly mashed the four pieces of potato that he had hidden during the day and put them in.
The aroma of rice porridge and sweet potatoes permeates the entire threshing floor.
Everyone watched anxiously, but there was nothing they could do. The man was capable and cooked good food. Not only had the escorts been subdued, but he also had a father and an elder brother who were generals, so no one dared to rob him.
Xie Yanyan took a large bowl and filled it with rice porridge for Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan looked at it and wondered what was there to not understand. It was called porridge, but the porridge was very thick, almost the same as rice. There was a lot of melon in it. It was estimated that the Third Miss cooked his melons and gave them to him.
He took the bowl and said quietly, "Thank you, Miss."
"Hmph, you shameless bitch, you've fallen for the wild boy from the Tang family." Little Shen whispered.
Shen was speechless. She had been whipped and scratched by wolves. She had a fever for more than a day, her throat was dry and hoarse, and she coughed whenever she cursed.
Xie Xiangxiang had been looking around the threshing ground, and suddenly asked Li Rong: "Master Li, what is this place?"
"Yangjiazhuang."
Xie Xiangxiang turned pale immediately.
Yangjiazhuang in Langming Mountain is the territory of the bandit Wang Zhongbao.
[In the previous life, when he came here, Wang Zhongbao went down the mountain and robbed the passing grain carts, including the grain carts of the exile team.]
[The leader was named Qi, and was killed. Xie Anfeng was also killed. Tingting and Third Aunt were both abducted.]
[I must find a way to dodge and not let that beast get the upper hand again]
