Chapter 2 Farming
The sister-in-law was wearing a floral short shirt and black cropped pants, although she was dressed plainly, she could not hide her beauty.
Xu Da smiled at his sister-in-law, shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine." ”
"That's good, hurry up and eat, Mom and Dad have been waiting for a long time!" Ah Xiang smiled and turned to leave.
After Xu Da put his things down, he sat down at the dinner table.
For dinner, it was millet porridge, two small dishes, cold cucumber and fried eggplant, all grown in their own fields.
There is very little millet in the porridge, most of it is water, Xu Da knows that at home, millet is almost gone, and his sister-in-law is saving to eat.
"Second child, are you really okay?" the mother looked at her son.
"Mom, it's okay!" Xu Da shook his head and turned to look at his father.
His father, Xu Wen, did not say a word, his face was dark and old, and he was getting haggard day by day since he broke his leg at work.
Xu Da was stunned, and sent the vegetables to his father's bowl.
Xu Wen was taken aback, raised his head and looked at his son, "Hurry up and eat." ”
Saying that, Xu Wen turned his head and said, "Mother, you will give the money to the second child after eating, and you will use it for watering the ground for the next two days." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone raised their heads and objected in unison.
"Dad, this can't be done, this is the money you paid for the medicine the day after tomorrow!" Ah Xiang objected.
Xu Fangfang echoed, "Dad, you can't take this money, the wound is not healed yet, and you have to take medicine." ”
Even the mother was against it.
Xu Wen didn't know, but now in the seedling stage, and in the drought, if they don't water, they will all die, and suddenly Xu Wen said decisively: "At present, crops are more urgent than buying medicine." ”
"No, it just doesn't work!" ...... Ah Xiang shook her head.
Xu Fangfang still agreed, "I have the same idea as my sister-in-law, no." ”
Saying that, Xu Fangfang pushed Xu Da, who had been silent, and said, "Second brother, you have something to say, our father's money is going to be used to save his life." ”
Xu Da put down the chopsticks, "Dad, the money must not be moved, I will do the watering of the ground!"
His words still carry a bit of weight, although he is not very old, but his mentality is much more mature than his peers.
"What do you do? That's money, not just words. Father glared.
"You don't care about this, I say I can do it. Xu Da was a little stubborn, so he immediately put down the bowl, "I'm full." So saying, he got up and went back to the house.
There was silence in the courtyard.
Xu Wen watched his son enter the house, and then turned his head, "Damn, the money will be given to the second child tomorrow." ”
"Dad, my brother said he would find a way!" Xu Fangfang pouted and said angrily.
Xu Wenyuan's eyes widened, "What can he come up with as a child! Although I am lame, I am still the head of the family, and whatever I say is what I say!"
Mother sighed, nodded and said, "That's good." ”
Next.
Xu went to the field early in the morning.
Last night, he stayed up all night studying the spiritual runes and spiritual energy in his body, which not only made him feel tired, but also made him feel refreshed.
This made Xu Da feel more and more that this superpower was wonderful.
When I came to the field, there were already villagers taking advantage of the cool morning to shovel weeds and drain ditches with shovels.
"Second brother, the ground will be watered tomorrow, why don't you rush to repair the canal?" said Xu Xiaomin, a villager who was separated by a few ridges of land.
Xu Xiaomin is honest and honest, older than Xu, seven years older.
Xu Da looked at the corn seedlings that were already rolling and wilting in the field, looked up at Xu Xiaomin and said, "Brother, don't worry!"
He can't tell the other party that he doesn't have the money to water the land and not repair the ditch.
"There's no hurry. Xu Xiaomin was speechless, pointed to the field and said, "You kid has a really big heart." ”
Saying that, Xu Xiaomin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Hurry up and repair the canal, I'm almost done repairing it here, and later, my brother will help you." ”
Xu Da's family has always been popular in the village, and there are people in the village who are willing to help.
Xu Da smiled at the other party and squatted down to study the corn seedlings.
He already had an idea, and he was ready to use the Talisman Technique.
It took him a night to sort out the spirit runes last night, and he realized that the art of the talisman actually has irrigation charms, fertilization charms, and insect catching charms......
It's just that these talismans are the most basic talismans, and the other talismans are now low in cultivation and can't be used at all.
If you can really cast an irrigation charm according to this technique, then the land does not need to be watered.
Xu Da returned home, pedaled the dilapidated bicycle to the town, and bought yellow paper, cinnabar, brushes and other things.
After locking the room, Xu Daben spread out the yellow paper, and according to the requirements of the talisman in his mind, he silently recited the spell and drew the talisman.
Drawing talismans not only tests one's endurance, but more importantly, one's cultivation.
Xu Da has a thin foundation and doesn't have much aura, so he was already sweating profusely after drawing a talisman for a long time, and he almost fainted after prostration.
What made him even more depressed and desperate was that because of his own hand, the first talisman was invalid.
Xu Da threw down the pen and sat on the bed, panting.
"Second child, are you there?"
At this time, sister-in-law Ah Xiang was knocking on the door.
This kid has been weird since he came back last night, which makes his sister-in-law Ah Xiang worried, and today is even more strange, he came back from the town with a yellow paper brush or something, and locked himself in the house as soon as he came back, which made Ah Xiang even more worried.
Even though the second child is eighteen years old, in the eyes of his sister-in-law, he is still a child.
If something goes wrong with the child, naturally the elders have to worry.
In order to prevent his sister-in-law from being distracted, Xu Da hid all the yellow paper cinnabar, and then opened the door and smiled at his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay, I see you've been locking the door. Ah Xiang frowned, "Why do you look so tired?"
Ah Xiang subconsciously glanced at the room, which was empty.
Xu Da yawned and said, "I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Ah Xiang glanced back, and then said with relief: "Second brother, sister-in-law knows that you are in a hurry to water the ground, but don't worry, sister-in-law will work with you to find a way, we will definitely get through this difficulty." ”
Xu Da was moved, nodded and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I know." ”
"Well, that's good, you can rest for a while, and my sister-in-law won't bother you!"
Xu Da closed the door, took a long breath, and meditated cross-legged.
Two hours later, he went down to the ground again to draw the talisman.
Having learned the lesson of the last time, he recited the mantra silently, and his mental power became more and more concentrated.
Only by attaining full attention can the true role of the talisman be brought into play.
By the time the second talisman was finished, it was already dinner time.
Her younger sister Xu Fangfang also came back from selling woven baskets outside.
She has always been ingenious, and she took advantage of the summer vacation to make woven baskets and sell them for money.
After dinner, Xu Da went to the field alone.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the field, Xu Da, who looked nervous, dug a pit in the ground as if he was a thief, and then closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra.
"Rush!"
A spell.
Xu buried the talisman in the pit, the tension in his heart was still there, he didn't know if this talisman would work.
After Xu Da walked away, he turned around and came back, and after he was sure to bury it, he turned around and walked home step by step.
