Chapter 192 Keep working hard
The field mouse team and the monkey team standing in a row immediately ran to the wasteland in front of them, each doing their own job, some digging the soil, some pulling weeds, some moving stones, with a very clear division of labor.
Yu Da: ? ?
Yu Da:!!!
The man stood there in a daze, with a look of astonishment on his face.
——I am dreaming. I must be dreaming. Haha, how can a monkey help pull weeds and move stones?
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard, making a crisp "pa" sound.
"pain!"
The pain was never absent. Yu Da covered his red cheeks and looked at the busy monkeys not far away. His mind was no longer working.
These are actually true!!
Shitou turned his head to look at him. Is there anything wrong with this guy's brain?
"You...this...monkey..." Yu Da gestured incoherently to the stone and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Shitou was anxious when he heard this and slapped him on the face, "Speak properly."
Very good, now both sides of the face are symmetrical.
Yu Da took a deep breath and asked with a red face, "What's going on with these monkeys and voles?"
"That's what you saw." Shitou picked up his hoe and called him, "Let's go and dig the soil."
Yu Da subconsciously followed with his hoe, and after walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at the baby on the wolf's back.
He always thought that the wolf was close to the little baby because of that powerful woman, but now it seems that it was all the little baby's own ability.
If those nobles knew about this little kid who could make wild beasts obey... countless thoughts flashed through his mind, causing his heart to beat faster unconsciously.
With this little baby in hand, wouldn't wealth and glory be within easy reach?

"Yu Er, come out." Xiaohuan called out in the yard, holding a bamboo basket of dried astragalus.
In the room, Yu Er impatiently turned over on the kang, trying to pretend he hadn't heard anything. But thinking of Yu Da's instructions and their plans, he still propped himself up, leaned on a wooden stick, and limped out.
He looked impatient and asked in a rough voice, "What are you doing?"
"Cut these astragalus." Xiaohuan pointed to the large chopping board and the sharpened hatchet under the eaves, and took out a few slices from the bamboo basket to show him, "Like this, the thickness should be uniform. Don't cut them badly."
Looking at the large bamboo basket of astragalus, Yu Er pointed at his injured leg in dissatisfaction, indicating that he was a wounded soldier and would not be cut.
"Your injury is your leg, not your hand. Cut it quickly." Xiaohuan put the bamboo basket next to the chopping board. "You are not allowed to eat lunch if you don't cut it."
"What did you say?" Yu Er glared at Xiao Huan fiercely.
With such a ferocious look, a timid person would be scared to tears.
Xiaohuan was not afraid of him at all. She pulled out a kitchen knife from her waist. The sharp blade reflected the sunlight and made Yu Er close his eyes.
"Cut, cut, cut, I'll cut!" Yu Er raised his hand to block his eyes and said unhappily, "Put the kitchen knife back, you're blinding me."
Xiaohuan put away the kitchen knife and watched him cut.
Yu Er reluctantly sat down on the small stool, his long legs huddled together in grievance, and picked up the hatchet to start cutting.
Dried astragalus is more difficult to cut than fresh astragalus, but the water content is lower after drying, making it easier to control the thickness and shape when slicing. The cut slices are also more regular and look better, and can be sold at a high price in a clinic.
Yu Er practiced martial arts, and although his legs were injured, the strength in his hands was still there.
He cut quickly while cursing how difficult it was to cut.
"It's too thick, make it thinner."
"Cut it at an angle."
“Don’t chop it up.”
Xiaohuan's voice was heard from time to time. Yu Er gritted his teeth secretly and vented all his anger towards Xiaohuan on Huangqi.
It’s just cutting astragalus, he just cuts and cuts!
Once this woman falls into his hands, he will definitely cut off her head!
"Just like that. Make sure the thickness is consistent. I'll go to the kitchen to marinate the meat. You cut it carefully and I'll come back to check on it later." Xiaohuan felt that it was indeed a lot easier with more labor, so she dusted off her hands and went back to the kitchen.
Yu Er waved the hatchet towards Xiaohuan's back, wishing he could swing it at her.
A small stone suddenly hit him on the head and rolled to the ground with a "thump".
"Who hit me?" Yu Er looked up and saw a boy half sticking his body out from the small platform, making faces at him.
Chu Xu: “Slightly~”
"Hey, you dead kid!" Yu Er stood up with a hatchet in his hand, and regardless of the injury on his leg, he was about to use his lightness skills to move forward.
Another head popped out, and Shang Wan stared at him dimly, "Who are you scolding?"
Yu Er felt a reflexive pain all over his body. He sat back silently holding the hatchet and continued cutting.
Chu Xu snorted softly, "Bully the weak and fear the strong."
Don't care that you are the "soft" one.
Shang Wan patted his head and said, "You're not needed up there. Go down the ladder at the back and find your uncle in the study."
"Copying books again?" Chu Xu resisted from the bottom of his heart.
Shang Wan looked at him, "What do you want to do if you don't copy books?"
Chu Xu chuckled, hugged Shang Wan's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly: "I want to go find Yuanyuan to play."
Shang Wan thought about it and decided that copying books was just to give the child something to do. At such a young age, he could just play if he wanted.
Then he nodded in agreement.
Chu Xu cheered, opened his little arms and hugged Shang Wan tightly, then climbed down the bamboo ladder to play with Yuanyuan.
When passing by the second one, the child put his hand on his nose and made a face like a pig.
"A little bit~"
Yu Er: “…”
Dead kid!
At the foot of the mountain, two people and a group of monkeys were working hard.
Only one acre of land had to be cleared this morning and the voles' work was completed. Because Yuanyuan had paid them in advance, the voles did not stay and scattered away.
Shitou and Yu Da were plowing the soil with hoes. As they were working, Yu Da discovered that Shitou was not only stronger than him, but also plowed the soil faster than him. He simply couldn't stand it!
The two of them were plowing the soil as if they were competing, and the hoes in their hands left afterimages.
The monkeys gradually lost their ability to use their skills and just squatted nearby to watch.
Yuanyuan got off the wolf's back and squatted like a monkey to watch. From a distance, it looked like a small round ball, like a glutinous rice ball.
When Chu Xu ran over, he saw this strange scene. He struggled to find Yuanyuan among a group of squatting monkeys, walked over quickly and squatted, successfully blending into the crowd of onlookers.
As the sun gradually rose higher, the monkeys waved goodbye to Yuanyuan and returned to the forest.
The two men who were competing in swinging hoes in the field stopped reluctantly. Each of them had half an acre of land, and it was exactly a tie.
Yu Da grabbed the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked back at the ground he had turned over and thought to himself that he might have been possessed by an evil spirit.
Shitou threw him a water bag and said, "Good job, keep up the good work."
Yu Da: “…”
What's the point of working hard on something like this?
At noon, the duo who worked well had a much better meal. They were very happy to have vegetables and meat.
The two brothers continued to eat in the house, communicating with each other while eating.
"Brother, does that kid really have that much ability?"
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." Yu Da pointed to his own eyeballs.
"I didn't expect there was such a big treasure hidden in this corner." Yu Er grinned sinisterly, "After sending this family to hell, the baby will be ours."
