Chapter 356: The Scepter
Grandma Ye was also happy when she saw Xu Yuan and the others coming.
Lin Chunhe, who was in the lead, greeted everyone and came to Ye Dong'er in a very familiar manner.
"We came to see you and provide you with some convenience."
"Sister Yuan, is this the strange thing on the ground?" Ye Dong'er pointed at the ground and asked curiously.
Everyone looked at the strange thing in the field with puzzled faces.
Ye Qiuer took a closer look and guessed, "Making a wish, isn't it for wheat?"
Xuyuan nodded and said, "This is a sledgehammer, used to cut wheat."
The tool brought this time is a sickle, which is composed of a bamboo basket, a wooden frame, a large sickle blade, a pull rope, a wooden handle, a pole and a handle. A long wooden handle is connected to a large bamboo basket filled with wheat, which is held with the right hand. The wooden handle on the other side is connected to the long blade blade with a thin rope, which is held with the left hand. In the middle is a bamboo basket more than one meter long and five or six centimeters wide. "
Ye Dong'er and Lin Chunhe were so excited when they heard it that they hurried forward to take a look. They were no longer looking at the things on the ground with doubts. Instead, they were eager to try it out. With such a big tool, how much wheat could it harvest?
"Sister, how do I use this?" Xuanyu asked hurriedly.
My eldest sister went to Uncle Dafu's house for a few days, leaving early and coming back late. It turned out that she got such a useful tool. Even Brother Gu ignored her a lot. Brother Gu was really busy and diligent. He was busy going up the mountain to add dry firewood to the two families. The yard was full of firewood those days, and it was estimated that it could burn for a long time.
Facing everyone's puzzled and expectant gazes, Xu Yuan curled his lips and picked up the sickle.
The tool looked very heavy, but it was very light in Xuyuan's hands. Xuyuan chose a piece of land with an opening, motioned everyone to move away, and started to operate it with the sickle.
The next second, screams rang out in the field.
Everyone was simply stunned.
In just a short while, a large area of wheat field was empty, and all the wheat had been neatly thrown aside in bamboo baskets.
"Oh my God, I've lived for most of my life, but I've never seen such a tool. Great, it's really great." Grandma Ye wiped her eyes and said excitedly, looking at Xu Yuan with admiration in her eyes.
This girl is really amazing. It is Qiu'er's blessing to know such a person.
"Oh my God, with this tool, such a large wheat field can be processed in no time! Xuyuan, you are really amazing." Ye Qiuer exclaimed with a look of joy on her face.
"Um...Wish, are you going to sell it?" Ye Qiuer pointed at the sickle and asked.
Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "200 Wen!"
"Deal!" Ye Qiuer replied without hesitation.
Grandma Ye saw that Ye Qiuer bought it without blinking, and although she felt a little pain, the pain was gone instantly when she saw that a small piece of wheat was left empty in a short while.
When Xu Yuan came over carrying the sickle, he attracted the attention of many villagers who were harvesting wheat in the wheat fields. Children from all families gathered on the ridge of the field on Ye Qiuer's side, with curious looks on their faces.
"Sister Xuyuan, Sister Xiaozhi, Brother Guozi, Brother Aduo, is it really you? Why are you here?" A chubby figure wearing a tattered straw hat ran over from a distance, shouting.
Just now, I saw several people walking towards that side in the field. The figures looked familiar, but I was not sure. Then I saw many friends running towards that side. Tian Tianle loved to join in the fun, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity. He said something to his parents who were still busy, put down the sickle in his hand, and ran towards that place.
As they got closer, he could naturally see clearly who those figures in the field were. Tian Tianle was both surprised and excited.
Xu Yuan heard the shouting and looked towards the source of the sound. It was Tian Tianle.
Compared to last year, he has grown taller now, but he still looks chubby, and his skin is a little tanned.
"Brother Tianle!" Many people greeted him happily. The two of them held hands, talked and laughed like good brothers, and came to Ye Qiuer's field.
At the same time, I also said hello to Grandma Ye and the others.
At this time, Ye Dong'er and Lin Chunhe came forward to touch the scythe. Ye Dong'er looked up and said to Xu Yuan who was standing beside her: "Sister Xu Yuan, can I try it?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and chuckled, "Are you sure?"
The scythe was quite heavy, and the net bag of the bamboo basket was also large. Xu Yuan was not sure whether the young boy in front of him could lift it.
"I can do it. I'm very strong." When Ye Dong'er heard this, he looked unconvinced. If Sister Xuyuan could lift it, how could he, a man, not be able to lift it.
Seeing the puzzled look on Tian Tianle's face, Xu Hao explained to Tian Tianle.
In an instant, Tian Tianle's eyes lit up and he smiled.
This thing is great. With it, my parents won’t have to work so hard to harvest wheat.
Ye Dong'er imitated making a wish and picked up the sledgehammer. However, she put it down the next second. She looked a little embarrassed and laughed awkwardly: "Hahaha, it is indeed a bit heavy."
"Ah! Is it really that heavy?" Lin Chunhe was a little unconvinced. There were very few children in the village who were spoiled. They had been helping with housework since childhood. Boys aged twelve or thirteen in the village had already learned to carry firewood, so they were quite strong.
Ye Dong'er pouted, still unable to accept the fact that she couldn't lift it, "If you can't, just try."
Lin Chunhe didn't believe it, so he walked forward and tried to pick it up. He was better than Ye Dong'er, but he couldn't hold it for long. Then he stopped eating and said stubbornly, "I'm not full today. I'll try again next time."
"You two boys are still trying to be stubborn. Come, let grandma have a try." Grandma Ye smiled and walked forward.
Grandma Ye has done farm work all her life and has carried all kinds of heavy objects. She has even carried objects heavier than herself and she has always gritted her teeth to get through them. Now she is still in good health and in good spirits.
The sickle was quickly picked up in her hand. It was quite heavy, but it was not a big problem for her.
Seeing that even grandma could lift it, Ye Dong'er fell into deep thought.
"Dong'er, don't think too much. You are still young. Everything will be fine when you grow up." Ye Qiu'er comforted her brother when she saw his frustrated look on his face.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers. When the children saw the use of this tool, they all ran back home in excitement.
In a short while, the magical things brought by the wish spread throughout the fields.
Some people believe it firmly, some are extremely curious, and some are full of action.
When the villagers, full of energy, came to Ye Qiuer, a large section of the wheat field was already empty. At this time, the sledgehammer was already being wielded vigorously in Ye Qiuer's hands. While catching a basket of National V wheat, a small piece of wheat straw was neatly thrown aside.
On the other side, people were bundling up the wheat on the ground and piling it aside.
Everyone watching was stunned.
