Lao Qi originally wanted to arrange a mountain stone hydrological landscape for his garden, but this stubborn stone instead occupied the ring space, taking root in the space-time intersection space formed by this immortal weapon, and occupying the land was king.

In the sky above the ground occupied by mountains and rocks, there is no blue sky and white sun, and there is no beautiful scenery of colorful clouds chasing the moon. After Lao Qi and Xiao Qi divided their territories, the items stored in the ring space floated on them in a staggered manner, forming a strange and balanced three-dimensional space.

However, now that one of the planes of this cube has been occupied by stones, this space has obvious horizon coordinates. This subtle change gave Lao Qi, who was familiar with this three-dimensional space, a sense of direction, knowing where the ground was and where the sky was above, and also had a preliminary setting of east and west, north and south, no longer as empty and directionless as before, which is also a good geographical and geomorphological coordinate feature.

Unconsciously, Lao Qi, who was sitting in the valley and carefully observing the changes in the space of the ring, had finished smoking a box of cigarettes, and the water on the sunken ground under the mountain rock was getting more and more, and the small pool was getting bigger and bigger, and it had overflowed the bottom base of the mountain stone, and gradually converged into a pool. If it continues, it won't be long before that hollow space will turn into a small pond.

"It's really special to lure the wolf into the room! Although the ring has a lot of space, it has a limited volume after all. If you don't leave it alone, will the water gushing out of this stubborn stone completely fill the ring space? In that case, won't the ring space become a water container? You have to think of a way, or the ghost knows what unpredictable changes will happen. If the stubborn stone can't come out, can the water flowing out of it get out?" Lao Qi's heart moved, locked some of the stagnant water in the small pool, and silently recited "come out".

"Whoa...... Oops. Lao Qi, whose mind was completely focused on the ring space, didn't pay attention to where the water was removed, and was drenched by the water that suddenly appeared above his head.

Lao Qi was overjoyed, it was good that the water could be removed from the ring space, and he finally didn't have to worry about the ring space being occupied by the gushing water. It's a big deal that it will be more troublesome in the future, and it will be good to carry out a manual drainage project after a while.

The weather in November can't be described as warm, even though it's a subtropical region near the Tropic of Capricorn. Lao Qi's current location is on the west side of this north-south valley, and there is no sunlight shining for a long time. Looking up, the sunlight that was vaguely visible on the opposite mountain could only shine on the upper half of the mountain, and the time was already six o'clock in the afternoon, which was not early.

Lao Qi quickly changed into a dry mountain outfit and walked out of the valley along the direction of the road. Although there are no large beasts in the mountains, forests and wilderness, there are many poisonous insects and locusts. Lao Qi is not afraid of large beasts and other animals, but those poisonous insects and locusts are very annoying, and they can't be prevented.

Lao Qi, who cherished his life, decided to retreat, but he still didn't have the habit of spending the night in the mountains. In the past few days, he has been living in the mountains and forests. There is a small mountain village more than ten miles away from here, and he came out of that small mountain village this morning to explore, and with the strength of his feet, it will not be dark when he rushes back now.

In the past few days, Lao Qi has stayed in Hani Mountain Village, which is convenient for entering and exiting the valley woodland, and has become good drinking friends with the hospitable Hani old cousin Zhang Keshan. If you go back late in the evening, you might come out to look for him.

In the past few days, I have nothing to do with the Zhang brothers to drink and chat, and Lao Qi has a general understanding of the human geography here.

The population of that small mountain village was very small, with a permanent population of just over 100 people, and it was also a mountain village with a serious shortage of young women. Zhang Keshan, who is over forty years old, is still a glorious single dog. They have five brothers and sisters, three younger sisters are married outside the mountain, and his brother, who is two years older than him, is a glorious single dog, just like him. Fortunately, there is also an old mother at home to help with the housework, and the two brothers can be regarded as having a decent home. The two brothers planted a few acres of flue-cured tobacco, planted some baogu and tartary buckwheat on the hillside, went into the mountains to pick some wild goods, and it was no problem to drink wine and eat meat.

According to Zhang Keshan, the location of their village is too remote and the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and they have not married a new daughter-in-law from another village for nearly 20 years. And most of the girls who grew up in this village are outside to make a living, and those who have the opportunity and can marry outside are basically married outside. This has led to the fact that there are very few young women in this village, and there are no girls and daughters-in-law, and the young women who are brought here, isn't this nonsense?

In recent years, most of the young boys who have the conditions and opportunities have responded to the government's call to go out to work to earn a living, and they are unwilling to continue to stay in this remote mountain village to waste their youthful years. They don't want to stay here and wait for them to grow old and join the ranks of glorious single dogs.

In this great era when the whole country advocates that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", it is becoming more and more fashionable for people to go out to work. These people, who sit on the mountains with green waters and green mountains, are about to embark on a road of no return because of the continuous loss of young women.

When Lao Qi returned to the small mountain village, the sky had become dark, and there was not much laughter in the mountain village, where there were no young people and children. Entering the mountain village, it is quiet, and there is an eerie sense of tranquility.

If it weren't for the lights in those doors and windows, the barking of dogs in front of the door, and the sound of TV playing in those houses with average sound insulation, Lao Qi would rather stay in the mountains and forests than enter the village.

Lao Qi, who has been nurtured by thriller film and television dramas, is still very afraid of those inexplicable ghosts, even if he has a fairy ring on his hand. After all, people are always afraid of the unknown, Lao Qi can meet the existence of Ming Cheng Daochang, and today he encounters that strange stone, God knows if there are other strange things in this world.

Zhang Keshan and his elder brother Zhang Kelin went into the mountains today to catch a muntjac, and when Lao Qi came back, he had already washed and peeled it and started to barbecue.

"Hahaha,...... I have a good mouth today!" Lao Qi, who smelled the smell of meat and entered the door, walked straight in with a smile.

"Yes, I caught a muntjac last night, and I caught a muntjac today. Hahaha...... Over the years, there have been more muntjac in the mountains. You go to that valley and there are wild boars and musk deer. Zhang Kelin, who was roasting muntjac meat in front of the fire, replied with a smile.

Zhang Keshan, who was preparing the seasoning, greeted: "Brother Qi is back, what are you getting today?"

Just carrying a mountaineering package, the empty-handed Lao Qi couldn't say that his harvest was kept in the ring space, so he could only pretend to laugh freely: "Hahaha...... , no actual gains. The main thing is to walk around and see. The scenery inside the valley we can't see when we live in the city, so we took some photos and took them back to anger those who have never been to the pristine valley. ”

Zhang Keshan pursed his lips and said: "You people in the city are just weird, what is there to see about some mountains, rocks and trees? We want to go to the city for a few days, see the high-rise buildings in the city, and sit on the electric stairs up and down the buildings." ”

"It's easy to do, I'll be back in two days. These days, you don't have much work in the field, so go back with me. I'll take you to Yunzhong City for a few days, and then go to Spring City, and take their electric staircase to the tallest steel structure building in Spring City. There is also a transparent electric staircase installed outside the building, which is called a sightseeing elevator by the people of Chuncheng, and you can sit inside and watch the scenery outside. Lao Qi sat by the fire pit familiarly and naturally, and talked happily about his arrangement.

Zhang Kelin glared at Zhang Keshan reproachfully, looked at Lao Qi and said, "How much does it cost? ”

"What is the cost? You and I will go back together, what will be the cost of saving the travel expenses? Go out and have fun for a few days, and when I come back to pull the millet spicy seedlings, let's come back together. This is the end of the matter, you are ready to prepare, and you will leave in a few days. Lao Qi said in a big way.

"That'...... That's a good idea. Oh, Brother Qi, did you come down to the cottage next door to cultivate that kind of millet spicy seedlings that can produce oil?" Zhang Kelin asked curiously.

"Yes. I just want to cultivate a batch of that kind of millet spicy seedlings, and see if other places can grow that kind of millet spicy seedlings that will produce oil. It's really strange, why is there only that small piece of millet spicy oil?"

Although it is said that the world is so big, he also has a fairy ring, and today he has also harvested a stone that will come out of the water on its own. However, this shows the mystery of this world even more, and Lao Qi hopes to understand more things.
