Gu Ren felt thirsty, stood up, and poured a glass of water. Just as he was about to drink it, the glass cracked with a clatter. Water and glass slag were scattered all over the ground.

Silently walked to the door, picked up a broom and dustpan, swept the glass slag, and emptied it into the garbage can.

Pick up a black porcelain bowl on the cabinet, this porcelain bowl is the antique in the hand of the grandfather who discussed it in the morning.

Pour a porcelain bowl of water and hold it in your hand. Take a small sip.

Sit back by the stove...... The flames were beating in the fire, and I was a little distracted when I looked at it...... Buzz...... He felt like he was in the middle of it, surrounded by a large flame of fire, and he stood on a red charcoal block, but it was not hot at all, and the temperature around him was appropriate.

This charcoal block is surprisingly large, like a red boulder, and from a distance, there are red boulders all around, and the bottom surface of the boulder is a light blue flame, and the top is an orange flame, like an enlarged furnace fire.

Between the cracks of the boulders, the wind is whirring and bubbling out, and the wind is very hot.

"Where have I been?"

Gu Ren was ignorant.

Looking at the monstrous flames, he suddenly became nervous.

Suddenly, a wave of fire swept in, Gu Ren was horrified, and reached out to block it.

"Wow", an incredible scene appeared, the oncoming wave of fire suddenly stopped in place, his left palm moved, the fire wave moved with the palm of his hand, this feeling is like the fire wave is controlled by him.

"Up!"

The waves of fire floated slowly.

"Falling ......"

The waves of fire slowly fell.

"Former ......"

The waves of fire slowly approached......

"After!"

The waves of fire slowly moved back.

"Strange ......"

The corners of Gu Ren's mouth curled, revealing a slight smile. I was about to play again, when I suddenly heard a thunderclap in my ears, and my heart was shocked.

Shaking his head, he opened his eyes to find himself still sitting in a chair by the fire.

There were no flames around, and no red boulders under their feet.

"It turned out to be distracted. ”

Gu Ren smiled and drank a few sips of the boiling water in the black porcelain bowl. Stand up and put it back on the table.

I didn't notice it at all, and a white air flow floated from the black porcelain bowl just now and didn't come into my palm.

Outside the courtyard, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a clattering thunder and a rush of lightning...... Together, a gust of wind blew and blew the curtain.

Bean-sized raindrops then blew into the house, splitting heads and covering faces.

"Oops!"

Gu Ren inadvertently raised his left arm to block the raindrops.

Dangdangdang......

The raindrops bounced back as if they had hit a wave of air.

Gu Ren was stunned.

Another wind blew, mixed with raindrops. Gu Ren stretched out his palm curiously.

When the sound of the bell came again, the raindrops bounced back, and not a single drop fell on him.

"Hell!"

Gu Ren muttered.

At the sight of his thoughts, a purple air currents appeared. If you look closely, you can see that the color is a little darker, and it is slightly thicker by a fifth.

He walked straight out the door, and when the sound was pleasant and clear, it was like an invisible air shield covering him, bouncing off all the raindrops.

"It turns out that purple qi can also strengthen the mind and produce this effect. ”

Gu Ren was very excited to discover a new continent.

He walked around the yard, sometimes shaking the date trees, sometimes picking a few grass stalks, and sometimes looking up at the sky...... Children in general.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Gu Dashan rushed in with an umbrella. At this point, I'm soaking wet, and my pants are covered in mud.

"You baby, why are you standing in the rain!"

Gu Dashan shouted.

"Oh...... I...... Went to the toilet. Dad, why are you here? ”

Gu Ren hurriedly returned to the eaves.

"It's raining heavily, your mother is worried about you, let me come and have a look. Ah Ren, lock the door and go back with Dad in a while. ”

Gu Dashan also walked under the eaves, put away the umbrella, and reached out to touch the rain on his face.

"Okay! I'll go back for the night. ”

Gu Ren didn't insist, he didn't want his parents to worry.

"What are you doing when you bring out the old basin and urn?"

Gu Dashan wondered.

"Oh, I'm going to breed scorpions. I got some tips from a friend for domesticating wild scorpions and wanted to try it. ”

Gu Ren explained.

"I'd say there are so few scorpions. It turns out that you caught me here. If you succeed or not, then try it. If you can't get busy, say hello to your parents and come and help you. ”

Gu Dashan did not object, and was quite supportive.

"Okay......"

Gu Ren smiled.

Half an hour later, the rain stopped, and Gu Ren asked his father Gu Dashan to go back first. He separated the scorpion cubs again, estimated the space, one night, the old pot was full, and it was too late to come over tomorrow morning.

Then he locked the door and went home.

……

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Gu Ren hurried to the old mansion.

Hurriedly untied the plastic paper, opened the old basin, there were several layers of dense scorpions piled up in the old basin, and felt that the lid was lifted, and a cold wind blew in, and immediately shrank into a ball and no longer moved.

Many insects have a habit of feeling the wind blowing, so they shrink into a ball and don't move. This is a kind of self-defense consciousness, after shrinking into a ball, the force area is reduced, and it is not easy to be blown away by the wind.

Pick up a plastic spoon and tweezers and scoop the scorpions into the urn one by one.

After careful observation for a long time, it was found that the number of births per hour of individual female scorpions had decreased, reaching less than five. It is rare to give birth only once an hour, and after the purple qi is injected, it resumes fertility in a short time. But after a while, it was the same again.

After some analysis, I felt that it was related to the absorption of scorpion age purple qi. Some scorpions are too old to be fertile. Some scorpions don't absorb much purple gas, and after giving birth for a period of time, they gradually become weaker. Fortunately, most female scorpions have fertility, and after supplementing purple gas, they can reach a hundred catties of production at noon.

called Leizi and asked him to drive a motorized tricycle to the old house at noon. Leizi hurriedly agreed. Gu Ren hired him three rounds the day before yesterday and gave three hundred yuan. That's more than he earned for two days by pulling bricks and bricks on a construction site.

As soon as the time flickered, it was noon, and as soon as the scorpion was put into the snakeskin bag, the phone rang.

The call was from Li Zhiguo, Huang's secretary.

"Mr. Gu, hello, I'm Xiao Li, the one who came with our leader yesterday. I don't know if it's convenient for you, if it's inconvenient, I'll pick you up. ”

Li Zhiguo's attitude was very respectful.

"No need, around five o'clock in the afternoon, I will come to the county hospital, you can wait for me at the county hospital. ”

Gu Ren replied blandly.

He understands Mr. Wong's concerns. But is he the kind of person who doesn't have a good conscience? If he agrees, he will go.

As soon as I hung up the phone, Leizi came over.

"Brother Ren, what are you? I'll help you carry it. ”

Leizi didn't know what was inside.

"Some dry goods. Help me throw it on the three wheels. ”

Gu Ren smiled, if he sued Sù Leizi, when the snakeskin bag he carried on his shoulder contained a live scorpion, would he scream in fright.

"Uh, weird. Why is it still moving inside......"

Leizi had no doubts.

"Maybe bugs got in. Sharpen up and lift this bag up. ”

Gu Ren was carrying a bag.

A hundred catties of live scorpions were also packed with two snakeskin bags. Not a lot.

"I'll be fine on my own. ”

Leizi picked up the bag and threw it into the three wheels.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The two got on three rounds and set off.

……

The mountain road is still bumpy, and there is a lot of water in the low-lying areas due to the heavy rain yesterday. From time to time, the three wheels were splashed with muddy water, and the tires were also covered with mud. In some sections, the loess on the mountain road collapsed, piled up on the road, and motorcycles walked over the mud, pressing down traces one after another.

In other places, the edge of the road is broken, and the vehicle needs to be cautiously leaning inward.

Five or six miles of mountain road, walked for twenty or thirty minutes.

As soon as I walked out of the intersection of the road at the exit of the ravine, I saw several cars parked there, a few men who looked like leaders, and a woman standing there, pointing, and a few young men with engineering hats holding tools to measure.

"Brother Aren, why don't you grow vegetables full-time and be your driver. ”

Leizi muttered.

"Well, if the wasteland in Zoumaliang Beach can be contracted, you can try it. ”

Gu Ren said that Zoumaliang Beach is the wasteland in front of the old house, which used to be a vegetable field, and every household in the village had a small piece, but later it became a alkali beach with too much water, and it could not grow crops and vegetables, and gradually became barren.

He thought about it yesterday. But the situation is more complicated. If you want to contract, you need to consult with each household. It's better to directly contract the back of the horse beam mountain.

Zoumaliang is an isolated hill, which was previously returned to forest and planted with caragana, which belongs to the collective land of the village. The contract is completed as long as the contract is signed through consultation with the village cadres.
