Chapter 4: The Swineherd at Work
Chapter 4: The Swineherd at Work
Time flickered, and two days passed, Li Ya felt that his body was not uncomfortable, and he officially took over the pig herding business.
The pigs of the production team were locked in a row of three sheds, Li Ya walked all the way to the pig shed, greeted the people he met all the way, and added a sentence, "If you don't drive your pigs out, you won't be able to run away from the pig col on the other side of the mountain anyway." ”
Driving out the pigs of the production team, Li Ya happened to meet the uncle and said, "Uncle, drive your pigs out too, and I will rush to the pig col to put them." After all, it is usual to arrange two children to herd pigs, and the pigs of the production team alone have to be busy, and adults have to pick them up.
Several families drove the pigs out, joined the pigs of the production team, and went up the mountain road under the leadership of the pigs of the production team. Li Ya carried the back on his back, holding a slender branch in his hand, and followed behind. Their own pigs are too small to be driven out and put together. Li Ya can cut some pigweed with a sickle on his back and come back to feed the piglets.
Walking to the pass, watching the pigs grazing at the pass, Li Ya put down his back, sat on a big stone, felt the breeze, closed his eyes slightly, listened carefully to the early morning bird calls, and a tranquility permeated his heart. Li Ya suddenly found that as he grew up, he forgot the birdsong of the mountains and forests, forgot the tranquility of the mountains and forests, and his heart was always impetuous.
Wang Gong's concubine Rouyun's sentence "My heart is my hometown" Li Ya didn't know the context, but at this moment he clearly knew that this was the place where his heart was stable.
However, the next moment, Li Ya became a man and a woman eating again, and he had to cut the pigweed and go back to feed the pigs. Taking advantage of the fact that the sun is not hot now, Li Ya hurriedly made a move.
After cutting a back of pigweed, Li Ya took a look at the pigs and decided to chop another bundle of firewood. Li Ya found a dry tree with many branches, climbed up and cut it down, gathered and cut a few old rice wine branches, and tied them up in two. He used a branch as a rope again, and in this way he carried the pigweed on his back and pulled up the firewood and went down the mountain to his home.
When I got home, I found a handful of wild vegetables from the pigweed to cook. After a simple meal, Li Ya thought that it was hot in the mountains at this time, and there was nothing to do, so it was better to take books to study and study. In his previous life, Li Ya had left school for several years, and a lot of knowledge had long been forgotten. Although Li Ya in this life also graduated from high school, in this era, teachers have to be criticized and have no heart to teach, students have no heart to learn, and Li Ya has not learned much knowledge.
Li Ya finally found all the textbooks in the room, after all, the textbooks were brought back and they were not touched. Let's start with the junior high school textbooks, and today I will take the books for the first year of junior high school.
When he arrived at the mountain pass, Li Ya first looked at the pigs, then sat down in the shade of the tree, opened the textbook and began to read.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Li Ya put away his textbooks, estimated that the time was almost up, and drove the pig home into the pig col.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and Li Ya gradually adapts to the life here, mainly because he eats a meal of hare and pheasant from time to time, and his body is strong. The little pig is slowly growing up, and a lot of firewood has been accumulated at home, and the junior high school textbooks have also been read carefully.
To be honest, most of the textbooks in these years do not emphasize logic and coherence, only emphasize politics, and they are always not so fluent in learning. But these are easy to say, after all, I studied hard in my previous life. Only English, in the previous life, it was almost dumb English, and now some English books are also very simple, but in order to practice speaking, Li Ya reads aloud on the mountain every day, and often sings the English songs he learned in his previous life, but learning language must have context, Li Ya is such a person, others still have to work, who will accompany him to practice.
Li Ya rummaged through the English pronunciation he had heard in his memory, and suddenly found a memory that did not belong to Li Ya in the two lives, a place with only soil and a small lake. It's like a movie from the silent film era, with black soil, a small clear lake, and a clear blue sky. It is quieter than the world depicted in "Silent Spring", and there is no sign of life. However, Li Ya actually found that this place actually has a boundary! It is a closed space. Is space the best benefit for crossing the gods?
Li Ya opened the tutorial according to the space, closed his eyes and concentrated on imagining entering the space. When he opened his eyes and planned to move in a different way, he was no longer greeted by trees and grass, but the place in his memory, where he was standing by the small lake.
Li Ya squatted down and tried the lake water, the cool feeling came from his hand, he grabbed a handful of mud and thought about going out, and sure enough, he went outside again, and the mud in his hand was dripping on the ground, and everything seemed so real.
He was excited in his heart, there was really such a space. Not to mention using the space to smuggle and make a fortune, just planting the land in the space, and the family can't eat it all. "Private space, the welfare of the traverser, fish farming, cross-border smuggling, material storage, everything is not a problem, you deserve it!" Li Ya fell into endless fantasies.
Fantasy is just fantasy, it can't fill your stomach, Li Ya went from the fantasy of Diaosi counterattack to the conquest of Europe and the United States, and he still came back to his senses. Grandpa Wen said, "Foot on the earth and look up at the starry sky." Li Ya had to throw away those that he didn't have, and dug up a lot of wild vegetables and planted them in the space, and by the way, there were a few herbs that Li Ya saw.
After a little bit, Li Ya looked at the space with a little more greenery, as if the space also had a trace of vitality. Li Ya looked at it, and felt that it would be better if the hill not far away was full of trees, and if he thought of it, he would do it, and Li Ya had read a few novels in the space use tutorial, and he still knew some, concentrate, I will collect, I will collect. Ah, several big trees have been collected in a row, this is too obvious, do you want to stage a supernatural event in the village? Hurry up and restore the big trees that have been collected in it.
Since he can collect the big tree, Li Ya has time to dress up, and now he is mainly looking for crop seeds to plant in.
In the evening, Li Ya returned home, took advantage of his spare time to find some seeds and put them in the space, and planted them again at night. After eating, Li Ya washed the dishes and saw that his mother was mending clothes, and Li Ya was also holding a book to read. There is a shortage of kerosene for oil lamps, and often only rapeseed oil can be used, and the oil light line of rapeseed oil is weaker, unless there is no kerosene and there is an urgent need for it, rapeseed oil will be used to light the lamp.
Li Ya's father fed the pig, went into the house and put down the bucket and said, "I'll come back at noon to feed, this pig seems to be really fatter." After only two weeks of feeding the insects, the effect is showing, and it seems that feeding the pigs in this way is really feasible. Wait for the breeding insects to come out, feed the pigs, chickens and ducks, and these are enough. ”
Li Ya said: "The book says that the piglets can be sold after feeding them for three or four months. In winter, the earthworm reproduces slowly in cold weather, and it is necessary to raise a little more in spring, summer and autumn to dry, save it and feed it in winter, so that it can be fed three waves a year. Complete the task and kill it for the New Year. ”
My mother happily took over and said, "Even if you only feed two waves, you can kill one for the New Year." When the time comes, send some to your second uncle's house and your grandmother's house. ”
Li Ya said helplessly: "Mom, when the two pigs can be clearly separated, you can teach everyone how to feed the pigs with earthworms, and then they can kill them themselves." ”
Mother Li said: "Teaching is to teach, but your second uncle's family has three babies, and your uncle's family is also three, and the burden is heavy, how can you be willing to kill pigs?
Dad Li clapped his hand and said: "When the time comes, if you don't kill it, you will send it." It would be nice if the policy allowed more raising, so there are only two at a time, what's the matter. ”
Mother Li said: "Our brigade has calculated it, and there is a place to put pigs." I heard that there are many places where there are no places to put pigs, and it is difficult to fight pigweed, so the task of raising pigs is still forced to go down. ”
Li Ya said with a smile: "The family can't raise more, then the production team will raise it, anyway, whether to sell the pigs for money or kill the pigs for the meat, it is not distributed to each family." ”
Li's mother also thinks this method is good, but whether it can be done or not depends on the uncle going to the brigade to the commune to ask before deciding.
Late at night, Li Ya waited for his parents to fall asleep before entering the space, and the vegetable seeds and corn seeds were planted directly; although there was only a little bit of rice, it needed to raise seedlings; potatoes should be cut into pieces with sprouts and then planted; sweet potato seedlings were raised, and the sweet potato seedlings were cut and cut for cuttings.
Although there are many types of seeds, the number is small, and Li Ya only took forty or fifty minutes to plant them. After taking a bath by the small lake, Li Ya got dressed and inspected his territory, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
