Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

This was the second time that Qin Bingrui had experienced so many people coming to watch him since his last performance at Hongxiang Pavilion.

He waved to everyone like a real competitor.

Uncle Zeng was obviously much more low-key. He bent down seriously with his head down, and his only thought was to harvest the last acre of wheat as quickly as possible.

The weather doesn't look very good today. I don't know when it will rain again.

Luo Yu hit the gong and shouted: "The game begins!"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd watching the excitement started discussing.

"Oh, this guy is good-looking, but how can he be a match for Zeng Dayong when it comes to farm work? Zeng Dayong is a veteran who has been harvesting wheat for decades. I don't think it's possible for him to surpass him with just a bunch of heavy bamboo weaving tools."

"The young man's moves aren't very skilled. It looks like he's never used them before. How can he compare to Zeng Dayong?"

Luo Yu listened quietly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Bai Lingyi and Fang were the most anxious. Xiaoyi clenched his fists, wishing he could be on the court to perform. Fang's lower lip was almost bitten through. For the first time, the mother and son felt the tense atmosphere of the game.

Although the people around were complaining about the tool called "luozi", it sounded clearly like a mockery of their sister (daughter), which was so infuriating!

"Oh, look, Zeng Dayong has harvested several feet away, but the young man is still standing there."

"The young man seems to be thinking about something. Why isn't he in a hurry at all?"

"In this kind of competition, you can tell the winner at a glance."

Luo Yu smiled without saying anything. It seemed that it was her mistake not to let Qin Bingrui try it first, but this way it would be more interesting!

I only heard a deep voice beside my ear: "I bet the new tool will win!"

"Ha, then we have to bet on something valuable." Luo Yu said casually.

"Just bet on something in your hand."

Luo Yu was puzzled. He turned around and saw a young man in a green robe. Well, he looked like a decent human.

Unlike Prince Ning’s secret guards, those guards almost blended in with the local people in order to avoid being recognized by Luo Yu and the others.

The man was dressed very elegantly. His robe was obviously made of the finest silk, embroidered with silver flowing cloud patterns, and tied around his waist was a white jade lion pattern belt, which made him look very romantic and dashing.

Luo Yu didn't say anything else. He had to be cautious with a stranger.

I don’t know which big shot sent him.

Feiying also noticed the man next to Luo Yu. To be honest, Feiying didn't pay much attention to when this man appeared.

Mistake. Big mistake.

Qin Bingrui mastered the technique, with a smile on his face. He held the long pole in his left hand and pulled the handle of the direction rope with his right hand. He used the principle of force to control the movement back and forth with his left and right hands, and the operation was very flexible.

When the village elders arrived, only one-third of Qin Bingrui's acre of land was left, while Uncle Zeng still had two-thirds left.

But in less than half a quarter of an hour, the remaining one-third had been harvested.

The old village head had never seen such a speed before. He rubbed his eyes and thought he was seeing things.

The crowd that was bustling just now all opened their mouths wide and looked at Qin Bingrui who was looking triumphant at the finish line.

Bai Lingyi raised his proud head. For the first time, he felt that other people’s victory was more exciting than his own.

Qin Bingrui quickly ran to Luo Yu's side and said with a smile, "Sister, how is it? I think if we're quick, we can finish one acre of land in half an incense stick. It was me who wasted some time at the beginning."

Luo Yu used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, smiling without saying a word.

Lao Li was supported by someone and walked tremblingly towards the two of them.

Excited and incoherent.

"Sir, this tool is truly eye-opening for me. If possible, could you lend it to the villagers for harvesting? On behalf of everyone in the village, I would like to express my gratitude. I am deeply grateful."

"Old man, you're welcome. This thing is meant to serve the people. I was thinking that if everyone agrees, I'll let my eldest brother teach a few young and strong men first, and then we can think about how to popularize it."

"Good, popularizing it is good. This way, everyone won't have to worry about not being able to finish the work in a few days. If they work for a few more days, they will always be worried about the storm and heavy losses."

Luo Yu looked at the sky and said, "The weather is unpredictable. I have three plunders on hand. If anyone has a short supply of labor and is worried about not being able to finish the work, please lend them first."

"Okay, I'll go and find out right away."

The old village head also does his best to consider the villagers. With such a village head, there is no need to worry about the villagers being disunited.

At this time, Qin Bingrui was highly praised by the villagers who came to watch the game, and everyone praised him without reservation.

Bai Lingyi had a sullen face. Fang knocked on his head and said with a smile, "Brother Bingrui won, why are you still so sullen?"

"People here change their attitudes so quickly. They didn't believe Sister Luo Hong and Brother Bing Rui at first."

"People have always only believed in the limited areas of their own knowledge. If someone exceeds their cognition, they often do not question their own narrow-mindedness, but instead first doubt and deny others. However, these people rarely have their own ideas. They just follow what others say and are easily convinced by what they see. They are not considered to be particularly evil or bad people.

So, you see how clever Sister is! From the very beginning, she invited the villagers to come and watch the fun, using the competition to pique their curiosity. Seeing for themselves is believing for themselves, which is definitely much better than going to each person one by one to advertise, right? This is Sister's true intention!

Yier, you must learn a lot from your sister in the future. She is smart but not complacent. She is willing to consider others and think about problems from their perspective. This is something you must understand."

Bai Lingyi's eyes lit up when he heard his mother's words. It turned out that his mother also knew that his sister was such an outstanding person!

Feiying and the other two listened to the conversation between the mother and son from afar and couldn't help but nod along.

Feiying thought that Miss Ling Hong was smart, but she was too noisy. Now she was unable to extricate herself from the flattery of a group of villagers.

Miss Luo Yu is obviously much more low-key and gentle.

After Uncle Zeng finished harvesting all the wheat silently by himself, Luo Yu calculated the time and confirmed that the efficiency of the reaper could reach more than four times that of the sickle. Then the remaining people opened their mouths wide again and immediately ran back to tell each other.

Luo Yu looked at the harvested wheat and thought, besides harvesting, if there were any tools that could quickly thresh and shell the wheat, would it be sold that way, and the people's harvest would be much higher?

However, the problem of those processing machines cannot be solved in a short time.

She should first think of ways to promote the looting product.

When Luo Yu came to his senses, he found that the man in blue who was beside him was nowhere to be seen. He looked mysterious and did not seem like a normal person.

After lunch at Uncle Zeng's house, Luo Yu said to Qin Bingrui, "Bingrui, take a loot with you. We will set off for Yunpan County immediately."

"So urgent?"

Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zeng suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although they had only been in contact for two days, they had the illusion that they were family.

"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zeng, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit this time. See you later." Luo Yu was carefree. She didn't want to see the other person in tears every time she said goodbye.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several boys from the Zeng family crying out "wow" one after another.

Bai Lingyi's face flushed red. Although these two days were short, the eldest son of the Zeng family treated him very well. He taught him how to burn firewood, how to harvest wheat, and how to chop wood and feed chickens. In the two days here, he learned survival skills that he had never learned before.

But if Sister Luo Yu wants to leave, then he must leave too.

People will eventually say goodbye, but he hopes that Sister Luo Yu will follow them to the Fang family and never say goodbye again.
