    After all, plowing the ground is a tiring job. Fang Jinshi turned the hoe a few more times. He was so tired that he fell back and lay straight in the field. He looked up at the sky and said, "I'm so tired. I didn't expect farmers to be so tired from farming."  .¡±

    Qiao Ling'er came over and said, "If you're tired, take a rest and stop doing it."

    Fang Jinshi lay there and took her hand: "It's really miraculous. When I touch your hand, I suddenly feel less tired."

    Qiao Ling'er's face felt hot and she quickly pulled her hand out. Fang Jinshi was very good at saying things to women to make her feel comfortable. Qiao Ling'er was no match at all and she was the worst offender to his tricks.

    Fang Jinshi lay down for a while, then sat up and said to Qiao Ling'er, "Pull me up."

    Qiao Ling'er went over to pull him up. Fang Jinshi picked up the hoe and looked at it: "This hoe is not good. I need to find a handy farm tool so that I can finish plowing this field before dark."

    "Where are you going to find farm tools?" Qiao Ling'er asked.

    Fang Jinshi said: "There is a village not far ahead. I'll go to that village to borrow one. You wait for me here." As he said this, he walked along the river bank towards the village in the distance. After walking for dozens of steps, he felt uneasy and turned back.  He shouted: "You must wait for me to come back, and you are not allowed to leave."

    Qiao Ling'er waited for him to go far away, then picked up the hoe and worked on her own. At this time, she hoped in her heart that Fang Jinshi could finish plowing the land before dark. If she could do more, the possibility of success would be greater.

    After hoeing for a while, she looked up and looked in the direction where Fang Jinshi was going. She was also afraid that he would just leave and never see him again. After a long time, she finally saw Fang Jinshi walking towards the field in the distance, but  He was not alone, there were three farmers behind him.

    When they got closer, they saw Fang Jinshi walking relaxedly in front, with two farmers behind him carrying a small wooden table and carrying two small bamboo chairs. Another person was carrying a small iron stove and carrying a baggage behind his back.

    But Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t have any farm tools in his hands. He walked to a tree on the edge of the field and said to the three people behind him: ¡°Come on, come on, put it here.¡±

    The three farmers arranged the wooden table and the small bamboo chair. The man carrying the bag opened the bag, took out a few porcelain plates, poured some mountain fruits from the countryside, found dry branches, and fired the small iron stove.  Make a fire, put a tea stove on it, and boil tea.

    Fang Jinshi sat on the small bamboo chair next to him and shouted to Qiao Ling'er: "Little nun, come here and eat quickly."

    He called him such an rude name. Qiao Ling'er knew that he was joking. If there were no other people around, that would be fine. There were three farmers there at this time. Qiao Ling'er was a little embarrassed to go over, so she just stood still.

    Seeing that she was not coming over, Fang Jinshi stood up and walked over, took the hoe from her hand and threw it on the ground. He reached out to hold her hand and said, "Come here and have something to eat first. It's not too late to dig up the land again."

    Qiao Ling'er retracted her hand: "II don't want to eat, you can eat it yourself."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I have traveled so far to prepare these delicious foods for you. I am afraid that you will be hungry and thirsty. If you don't go there, won't my efforts be in vain?"

    Qiao Ling'er looked at the wooden table and hesitated. Fang Jinshi said: "Don't worry, I will do a big trick later and this field will be plowed soon."

    Qiao Ling'er didn't believe it, but when she heard that Fang Jinshi said that it was specially prepared for her after running so far, she was a little moved and said, "You go over first, and I'll follow behind."

    Fang Jinshi smiled, then walked back to the table and sat down. Qiao Ling'er slowly walked over, but she just sat at the table and did not eat the berries on the table.

    Not long after, more than ten farmers came to the river bank, all carrying hoes and other farm tools. One of them approached and said, "Master Fang, is this the field?"

    Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "That's it. Why do we only have so many people?"

    The man said: "There will be people coming soon. Don't worry, senior official, I will never miss your business."

    The man said hello, and the farmers walked to the fields and began to dig the ground. These people were much faster than just digging stones. People came sparsely on the road along the river bank. They were old and young, men and women. It didn't take much effort.  More than a hundred people came and occupied the entire field.

    Qiao Ling'er opened her eyes wide and looked at the farmers who were helping her plow the ground. She turned around and asked, "Why why do these people do this?"

    Fang Jinshi was lying comfortably on the bamboo chair. When he heard her suddenly asking such idiotic questions, he bent down with laughter and bowed his head. After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Because I will reason with them, and they listened to me."  What he said made sense to me, so he came over to help me.¡±

    "What's the point?" Qiao Ling'er looked at him, with an expression of admiration and admiration on her face.

    "Of course it isthe great truth can only be understood, not expressed in words. If you say it, it will not work."Qiao Ling'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, "Oh, I know, you gave them money."

    Fang Jinshi shook his head a little. She had to think about such a simple truth for a long time. She was really not very smart. He picked up a persimmon on the table and handed it to Qiao Ling'er and said, "Who will help us plow this field if we don't give you money?"  , let me do it alone, it will be difficult to finish it in half a month."

    The hundred or so people were plowing the land very quickly. The tea that Fang Jinshi asked him to make didn't even boil. Nuo Da's field had already been plowed.

    The leading man walked over to Fang Jinshi and said, "Master Fang, the ground has been plowed. Can you check if it's okay?"

    Fang Jinshi stood up and was about to speak when he heard a group of farmers in the distance seeming to be quarreling, so he asked the man, "What are those people arguing about?"

    The leader looked at him and said, "It's nothing. Someone came late and didn't get a job, so he was a little angry."

    Fang Jinshi laughed: "This is too fast. Let's do it this way. Some people have not made any money, so we can't let them go in vain. If you do it again, I will double the price."

    Qiao Ling'er said on the side: "No need to turn it over again, that's enough."

    The leader was deeply afraid that Fang Jinshi would regret what she said, so he hurriedly walked to the field and shouted, "Official Fang said, if you turn over the money again, you will still be given double the money."

    When the farmers heard this, they waved their hoes and dug the ground again, creating a lively scene.

    Fang Jinshi stood at the edge of the field eating wild fruits, watching the farmers work with satisfaction. Qiao Ling'er came over and whispered: "There is no need to do it a second time, and waste all this money again."

    She knew that Fang Jinshi had a lot of money, but she also felt sorry for him for these unnecessary expenses. Fang Jinshi whispered: "You don't understand, the people who can come here to make money are the poor people nearby, let them earn more money.  Their lives will also be easier, and I don¡¯t want to just be a good person and give alms directly to them so that they can do something, so that they can feel more at ease when taking the money.¡±

    Qiao Ling'er was stunned. She had never thought of these truths before. In Qiao Ling'er's heart, she felt that his image was much taller.

    These farmers plowed the land very quickly, and there were so many of them that they plowed the land again in a short time. The leader came forward again and asked: "Master Fang, are you satisfied with this time?"

    Fang Jinshi nodded and said to the man: "You can ask the villagers to go back, and I will give you the remaining money."

    This man asked the farmers who came to go back first. Fang Jinshi saw that everyone was almost gone, so he gave this man a gold leaf, and the leader went away happily.

    The money was not exposed, even though these people were farmers in the countryside, so Fang Jinshi asked others to go back first and gave the money to the leader alone.

    The farmers gradually left, and the fields on the riverbank returned to calm. The water in the stove had already boiled. Fang Jinshi poured the tea, took a sip and said, "I thought it would take a long time to work, but who knew it would be done so quickly.  We¡¯ve also prepared chicken and fish, ready to cook and roast them for a picnic.¡±

    Qiao Ling'er said: "You really know how to enjoy it."

    She opened the baggage left by those people, and there were indeed two fish and half a chicken inside. Fang Jinshi said: "Let's take this to the other side of the river, cook it and eat it, don't waste it."

    He found a wooden stick, picked up a stove, and went to the river far away. He found a place with lush river grass and lit the fire again. Qiao Ling'er helped him bring other food, and the two of them cooked by the river.  Get the food.

    The boiling water was boiling and the fish meat was getting cooked. Fang Jinshi lay on the grass and said happily in the river breeze: "It's really comfortable to stay in the city every day and occasionally go out and lie down in the wild."

    Qiao Ling'er took out a piece of fish, put it on a porcelain plate, brought it to him and said, "Here it is for you to eat."

    Fang Jinshi said: "You eat first, I will eat later."

    Qiao Ling'er said: "I can't touch meat or fish while wearing these clothes." She was still wearing the nun's clothes from Chengyun Temple, with awe in her heart.

    Fang Jinshi said: "Why don't you just take off these clothes? If you stay in the temple every day, you won't even have any oil or water. After you have been away from me for these days, your face has turned darker and you have lost a lot of weight."

    Qiao Ling'er said: "II'm fine." As he lowered his head, Fang Jinshi looked at her and suddenly took action, grabbing the monk's hat off her head. He was deeply afraid that Qiao Ling'er had shaved it off these days.  Bald head, now taking off the monk's hat, it can be seen that the hair is still there, but it is much shorter than before.

    Qiao Ling'er was stunned and quickly grabbed the hat and put it on her head again. Her eyes were lowered as if she didn't dare to look at him. Fang Jinshi asked, "Why is your hair so short? It feels like it's missing a lot."

    " Qiao Ling'er was silent for a long time, and after a long time she whispered: "My mother Master Shanshuang forced me to cut my hair, but I refused, so she cut some while I was asleep??I woke up and didn't"
