Chapter 1065 Leeches
Sun Shan was planting rice seedlings in rows. The land was about one-third in size, so it was quite difficult to plant the rice seedlings.
I don’t know how the people in the yamen found the land, but they found such a large piece of land.
If we had found a piece of land, we would have planted it long ago.
Because I haven't done farm work for a long time, I felt very uncomfortable after doing this for a while.
Fortunately, it is spring now and it is not hot. If it were summer farming, it would be even worse.
Well, it seems that I need to do more farm work in the future, pick up my old skills again, and become a capable farmer.
In the past ten or twenty years, I have been busy studying and preparing for the imperial examinations. It is really like what others say, "a lazy limb." Fortunately, I can still distinguish the five grains.
As Sun Shan was inserting the needle, he felt an itch on his calf. He took a quick look and found that it was a leech.
Emma, this thing is so disgusting and loves to suck blood. I was really shocked when I took a quick look at it.
Fortunately, I was brave enough to calm down after three seconds.
Sun Shan then broke the leeches and threw them onto the field, then strung them together with a branch.
In such a short while, the leeches had already sucked a lot of blood.
One string, blood splattered immediately.
It seems that I should ask Aunt Wang to butcher a chicken and make some red date chicken soup for me when I get home to replenish the blood I lost today.
Everyone was clearly watching Sun Shan planting rice, and they watched it like a monkey show.
Who knew that while he was doing it, Lord Sun stopped.
Everyone thought that Lord Sun was tired, had finished his show, and wanted to go ashore.
After a while, I saw Lord Sun touching his calf and then took out something. He then quickly went ashore and threw something onto the ridge of the field.
After seeing clearly that it was a leech, everyone couldn't help but exclaim "Oh".
This thing is disgusting and annoying.
Farmers are already hungry and many of them suffer from anemia.
These things took advantage of the time when I was working and sneaked in to act like vampires. I really want to burn them to death.
Their Lord Sun did not burn the leeches to death, but instead skillfully strung them up and exposed them to the sun.
The onlookers suddenly felt that Lord Sun was just like one of them. When they encountered leeches while working, they would string them up and dry them in the sun, or smash them to death with stones to avoid being harmed again.
The owner of the field watched Sun Shan planting rice and catching leeches, and nodded with satisfaction.
It turns out that Mr. Sun can do farm work, and the process of his doing farm work is similar to mine.
Emma, a simple official really came to their Yuanlu County.
County Magistrate Wang, who was eating melons on the shore, saw Sun Shan come ashore and immediately ran over and said, "Sir, your calf is bleeding. Why don't you stop the bleeding first and let others work on the rest of the farmland."
As for who it should be handed over to, it must be the owner of the field.
It's his job, if he doesn't do it, who will?
County Magistrate Wang secretly observed Sun Shan and found that he really knew how to farm and was not the type who just put on a show.
The movements of transplanting rice seedlings just now were the same as those of his tenant farmers. Although Sun Shan was not very skilled, his movements were standard.
If you are not skilled it is because you have done it less, and if you are good at it it is because you have done it before.
I don’t know if it’s because of family reasons that I need to do farm work or for other reasons.
Some people may just like farming. Even if their families are rich and they don't have to do it, they will still rush to do it and never get tired of it.
Everyone has different hobbies, so it is difficult for County Magistrate Wang to draw a conclusion.
Wu Zhubo also said quickly: "Yes, sir, your calf is still bleeding, it is not suitable for you to go out. Stop the bleeding first to avoid excessive bleeding."
Other officials quickly agreed and told Sun Shan not to get down to the ground and to deal with the blood on his legs first.
Sun Shan looked at the three acres of land in front of him. He was halfway through planting rice and felt that he had done enough work for the day.
So he took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, I'll stop the bleeding first."
Then he said to the owner of the field: "Old man, I'll have to trouble you to take over the remaining farmland and help plant rice."
The old man quickly said, "No need to bother. This is my family's field. I'll plant it."
He secretly glanced at Sun Shan's calf.
I thought to myself: Who hasn't been bitten by a leech? Just pry it open. The blood will flow and stop in a moment.
Alas, although Lord Sun knows how to farm, he is still different from them and is much more refined than them.
After Sun Shan got ashore, Gui Ge'er quickly helped Sun Shan wash his legs and tidy up his clothes.
That leech was really too much. It sucked so much blood from Brother Shan. Even if Brother Shan didn't string it up, I would have. I have to let it die in the sun to relieve my hatred.
Sun Shan tidied his clothes and the blood on his legs stopped after a while.
Sun Shan did not leave, but watched the owner of the field and his two sons planting rice.
In a short while, the three of them had finished planting three acres of land.
After the land was tilled, a few words of blessing were said and the whole farming ceremony was over.
Sun Shan led his group back home.
County Magistrate Wang and his officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the ceremony was finally over.
Fortunately, the entire ceremony went smoothly. Both Sun Shan and everyone present were very cooperative. The task was completed perfectly and we can have a happy meal when we return home.
After the yamen people left, the curious crowd came up to watch.
The melon eater asked, "Master, how are the rice seedlings planted by Lord Sun? Are they stable?"
After saying that, he actually rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and went downstairs to pull out the seedlings planted by Sun Shan.
The melon eater B asked curiously, "How is it? No floating head?"
Some people just want to get by and be lazy. When transplanting rice seedlings, they are reluctant to put in effort and just stick the seedlings in the ground casually. As a result, the seedlings float up when the water moves.
This method of transplanting rice is fatal. We have to start all over again. I would rather not have him do the job.
The melon eater said in amazement: "Mr. Sun is planting the rice seedlings very steadily, and he has planted them deep. Oh, I saw that Mr. Sun's planting movements were very standard, and I thought it was just a gesture without any practice. Haha, it turns out that Mr. Sun really knows how to plant rice seedlings."
Melon Eater C's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Is it really stable? Oh my god, Master Sun really knows how to farm."
Then he said to the owner of the field: "Uncle, half of your land was planted by Lord Sun. Haha, you are lucky. The official planted rice for your family. I'm sure you can harvest a few more buckets of rice this year."
At this moment, the old man's heart was at peace. If Lord Sun was not doing anything wrong, he would not have to work again.
Maybe the land cultivated by Lord Sun can actually produce more grain than others.
He said with a smile: "With Lord Sun's blessing, haha, I also hope to have a good harvest."
The crowd was talking about the land that Sun Shan had just planted, and they were reluctant to return to the city until the sun went down.
It's a rare occasion that the county magistrate is farming, so they are eating melons the whole time. They can talk about this topic for a long time.
The people from the yamen returned to the yamen. Those who had to go to work went to work, while those who didn't want to go to work slacked off.
Sun Shan wandered around the office, clocked in, and ran back to the backyard to lie on the board.
I had only been plowing for a while when I felt so tired all over.
Fortunately, I was bitten by a leech, so I didn't have to complete the three-point plot.
Well, it’s not that he wants to be lazy, but he is not used to doing farm work. These things need to be done slowly.
Let him stretch his body so that he can get used to the work that will follow.
Sun Shan thought for a while about how to use the knowledge in his head to help increase the yield of the fields. As he was thinking, he fell asleep.
