Chapter 21: Harvest
An eleven-hundred-year-old god cuts rice very badly.
Ryugen held the sickle.
He took a whole sheaf in one hand.
He sliced at it so close to the ground that he lost the blade twice in the mud.
Shizuku walked down the row behind him and watched the village watch him.
Fifty people were cutting that morning, her neighbors and their wives and their half-grown sons, and every one of them was pretending not to look.
"You're doing it wrong," she said.
"I am aware."
"Hold it lower. Low, and pull. Like this."
She put her hand over his and drew the blade through.
The stalks fell in a neat gold swathe.
He stared at them.
"That is all?"
"That's all. Twenty years of it."
"You make it look easy."
"It isn't."
He cut again.
It was better.
At noon the potter's wife came down the row with a pail of water and a ladle.
She offered the first cup to him with a bow so deep that her hair brushed the stubble.
He took it with both hands.
"Thank you," he said.
She went scarlet and fled.
