Lu Zhimin's words made Cao Limin's eyes light up, and he quickly urged, "Huh? What? Quick, tell me!"
Yun Dazheng subconsciously looked at Yun Duo and saw her looking at Lu Zhimin with a curious expression. He felt relieved and looked at Lu Zhimin as well, as if he wanted to hear Lu Zhimin explain himself.
Lu Zhimin felt inexplicably nervous, and subconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes before saying, "It's like this, County Magistrate, this year, Uncle Yun's family's field seems particularly strange; no grass grows on it!"
"No, it's not that there's no grass at all, it's just that there's very little grass in the field. There are only a few scattered weeds in the corners, as if someone is weeding in there every day and then missed them."
"Moreover, other people's rice leaves are riddled with locust bites, looking like jagged edges, but Uncle Yun's rice leaves don't show many signs of being damaged. Not to mention other insects. It's as if there's something in his field that the insects are particularly afraid of, and the insects all avoid his field."
"And... Uncle Yun's bees are quite strange. It's like they know their fields well. During the days when the rice is in bloom, they keep flying around their fields... But... actually, it's not that. It's just that the bees seem to only like their rice paddies and don't go to other places much..."
Originally, Lu Zhimin was only trying to appease the county magistrate by racking his brains to think about what happened in Yun Dazheng's paddy field. However, the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "County magistrate, you know what? I didn't think it was that strange at first, but now that I think about it carefully, it really does seem quite strange. It's as if God is taking special care of them."
"I seem to remember hearing someone say something like... 'God has blessed us with good food.' I think Uncle Yun's family is like that. They're blessed with good food. How could their rice harvest not be good?"
The more Lu Zhimin thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense. As he spoke, he nodded seriously.
So, is it really a land issue?
Hearing Lu Zhimin's words, Cao Limin was filled with disappointment. He didn't even bother to explain to Lu Zhimin that the phrase "God has blessed him with talent" wasn't used in that way.
He forced a couple of dry laughs and said, "This just means that Old Master Yun's land is good."
"No, Uncle County Magistrate," Yun Duo shook her head seriously and said, "It's not that the land is good, it's that we're lucky. Ever since I met Xiao Guiren and Uncle County Magistrate, I've been very lucky. When I go to the hillside to collect firewood, I can find wild eggs, and I can even catch silly pheasants and rabbits. So, the reason our family harvested so much grain this time must also be because of good luck!"
Well……
Cao Limin was a little unsure of what to say.
Yunduo is not young anymore; she should be nine years old soon after the new year. However, she suffered a lot before, and although she recovered somewhat in the past six months, she is still small and looks like she is six or seven years old.
People at that time, perhaps because of their low living standards, poor living and family environments, and lack of early education opportunities, generally did not have the same cleverness and precocity as children in later generations.
It's understandable that six- or seven-year-old children are a bit naive.
Therefore, it doesn't seem particularly abrupt or strange that Yun Duo said that.
