Chapter 27: The Mystery of Life
The bright sunlight shines through the windowsill, and a golden light awakens the clouds on the couch that are still awake. The fatigue of the half-night did dislocate the eleven-year-old a little.
In the haze, Yun Yi twisted his stiff body, stretched his tired body, and slowly walked off the long bed. happened to be pushed in and Liu saw it, Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help the crooked Yun Yi: Why did Yi'er stay? Let's go back to the couch to rest!
Yun Yi looked at the worried mother on the side, twisted her stiff body and said with a smile: Mother, it's okay, maybe I was too tired last night, it's okay to move!
Liu helped Yunyi sit down in front of the couch for a while, brought out the cooked hot rice from the kitchen counter, and sat back at the table to enjoy it after Yunyi washed up. Liu went to clean up Yun Yi's long couch: Yi'er, you scared my mother a lot last night, and you can't scare my mother so much in the future.
While listening to Liu's chatter, he was eating the breakfast made by the bride's parents, and his own mother-in-law who cared so much about him was also a sweet smile in his heart.
After eating, Yun Yi said hello to Liu and came to the backyard. Under the golden sun, there were black and linen figures, not to mention more than 200 people. On the side, Yun Zhen was on crutches, sitting on a sleek and smooth stone grinding platform, discussing the situation of this courtyard with Yun Cheng, and the sixty or seventy zhang encirclement was to remove the clues.
The small hill on the west side that was erected yesterday is now a stone bag piled up with more than 30 zhang of stone. A group of people drove the black ox and pulled the wooden cart from the stone pile to transport the scattered time to the east and west enclosure. More than 200 people were busy, using the mixed slime with grain grass to splice the irregular stones into a wide, long and strong enclosure.
Yun Yi walked in front of his father and Yun Zhen and saluted the two, Yun Zhen smiled and said: Baby, wake up. Yun Yi nodded with a smile.
Yun Zhen introduced the groups of people in the courtyard to Yun Yi one by one, and Yun Yi remembered it when he looked at the black and hemp crowds. The pills at home were definitely not enough to maintain the daily distribution of so many people, so he said hello to the two and returned home to pick up the bamboo basket. Go deep into the mountains to collect more herbs, and master the ghost skills of "Ghost Shadow" more skillfully while collecting.
For half a month, Yun Yi went into the mountains every morning to collect herbs, so that he could preliminarily master the second form of "Ghost Shadow" without walking in a hundred steps. You can shuttle within 100 steps, the teleportation time is faster, the body is more agile, and the soul power consumption is much lower than the first type. In this way, while cultivating soul skills in the morning, collecting herbs, the afternoon is a few hours of continuous alchemy. Soon in half a month, Yun Yi's soul power broke through the second order of the soul man, and his alchemy technique also improved a lot.
The yard that had been flattened long ago was cleaned after a busy day, accompanied by a few golden rays of light penetrating the clouds and shining on the distant mountain peaks, and the gorgeous sea of golden flowers nodded gently in the breeze. As the sky was dyed red by the glow, Liu called Yun Yi, who rolled up his sleeves: Yi'er, you can rest first, and my mother will go back to cook after sweeping this point.
Yun Yi picked up the sack on the ground: Mother, don't be tired, it's good to finish this point.
After a stick of incense, Yun Yi paved the last long gray slate outside the enclosure, and a gray stone slab path leading to the house was paved. Standing on the stone grinding platform next to it, looking at the stone enclosure of sixty or seventy zhang in the past, the idle vacant space behind the entire house is encircled. The six-foot-high mud stone walls are covered with a thick layer of vegetation to prevent rain erosion and collapse.
Dozens of spacious, sturdy and simple yards are built against the curve of the mountain to the west, and several large storage rooms have been built next to the south. There are more than a dozen wooden walls in the courtyard, which divides the empty field of dozens of zhang into more than ten separate courtyards of different sizes. There would never be such a large courtyard within a hundred miles, and if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have believed that this was a young child's cultivation for half a month.
After Yun Yi admired his masterpiece, he returned home to help his mother cook, and Liu let Yun Yi rest in his heart of distressing the child. But Yun Yi didn't feel a little tired, and helped light the fire in front of the kitchen counter. Liu's delicate jade hands can be regarded as a good hand at cooking rice, and a few fragrant dishes are put on the guest table.
At this time, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and Yun Yi knew that his father was back and Liu walked out of the house to greet him. I saw Yun Cheng pulling the carriage with a package on his back, tying the horse to an ancient tree on the side, and was about to move a large bundle of twine woven nets off the horse. Yun Yi and Liu also stepped forward to help, and more than ten bundles of hemp rope were unloaded into the courtyard.
After finishing the work, when Liu finished cooking and came to the courtyard, he asked Yuncheng and his son to hurry into the house to wash their hands and eat. While eating, Liu added vegetables to Yun Yi's bowl: Yi'er eat more! Yun Yi nodded.
Yun Cheng looked at Yun Yi while eating: Yi'er, this paddock has been built, I also went to see the cow babies of the two families today, and I didn't pull it back if I didn't see it very well. When Daddy Ming looks for a few more and sees a good one, he will stay, and I went to a few big towns to buy more than a dozen kinds of herbs that you asked me to buy.
Yun Yi swallowed the fragrant rice in his mouth: Great, Daddy, you can go and catch a few wild boars tonight and come back!
After hearing this, Liu pouted: Yi'er, the wild boar is as easy to catch as you think, I heard that the wild boar can bite people. I'm not going to let you two take that risk, and let me be a woman at home to worry about you.
Yun Cheng smiled: It's okay, the wild boar in autumn is very fat now, and one head may be sold for one or two silver coins. It's not like catching a few heads like the baby said, it's good to catch one and come back alive.
Liu Shi glared at Yun Cheng: I thought that Yi'er was repairing the paddock because I wanted you to buy some livestock and raise them slowly. I didn't expect that the two of you had already discussed, how dangerous it is to catch wild boars, if you want to go, don't take Yi'er with you.
Yun Yi just smiled and ate the sweet and delicious meal, while listening to her parents fighting this little mouth. After the meal, Yun Cheng cleaned up and followed Liu's ink for a while before carrying a small bag of fresh grain and rice to the courtyard. Yun Yi had already tied the hemp nets into a big lump in the courtyard, and Yun Cheng carried a few large bundles of hemp nets and Yun Yi into the depths of the West Mountain.
Passing through the rugged mountains, Yun Cheng picked a few locations to check the results, but the results were not ideal, so he could only go deeper with Yun Yi. After a night of walking, in a spacious mountain recess, a small stream entered the eyes of this experienced Yuncheng. Along the creek, some grass branches that were fattened by large animals, let Yun Cheng duel leave an ambush near here.
As far as the eye can see, two small mountain peaks not far away cast a white light of the sunrise in the moonlight. As if the gods had taken a sharp weapon and split the mountain in two, Yun Cheng nodded to Yun Yi and the two came to the foot of the mountain. The two mountains are adjacent to each other to form a natural mountain stream, and the valley floor is three zhang wide, and the end of the mountain range can not be seen at a glance, so it has become the most ideal burial place for Yuncheng. Yun Cheng, who smiled, looked at Yuxu: Yi'er, you go to sleep, Daddy will take the net down.
Yun Yi nodded: That's hard daddy.
Half an hour later, Yun Cheng arranged all the hemp nets at the entrance of the canyon. Several circles and nets were opened in a zigzag shape, and the cool wind whistled and slid out at the bottom of the valley, and the wind sounded.
Scattering a wisp of grain along the entrance of the trap, he ran to the big stone on the side and lay down with Yun Yi, waiting for the prey to appear.
At this time, the scene in front of the five appeared in the minds of Yun Yi and Yun Cheng, the naughty Yun Yi was eating cooked hot pieces of meat on the stone, and Yun Cheng was busy setting traps under the net. The father and son sat by the fire roasting sweet potatoes and sheltered from the rain under the rocks, what a wonderful life was that kind of ups and downs. Carrying cold wild goods every day and buying them from passers-by may be no different from beggars in the eyes of others, but in the hearts of Yun Yi and Yun Cheng, they are indeed full of happiness.
Yun Cheng sat up at this time, looking at his hands pillowed under his black hair, and listening to the song of insects in the mountains with his eyes closed. Thinking back to the surprise brought by his son's return again and again, he touched the small purse on his waist. Because he knows that if he doesn't talk about it at this time, I'm afraid that he won't have the opportunity to talk to his son alone in the future.
Yun Cheng underestimated in his heart, whether he should give his son a blow to the head, that would risk losing his son. If that is the case, you will live in sorrow for the rest of your life, not to mention that you will also face the condemnation of worry and anxiety.
Daddy, do you have anything to say to me? Yun Yi opened his eyes and asked.
Yun Cheng was thinking about it, but he was suddenly shocked by Yun Yi's inexplicable question, and Yun Cheng lowered his head and still couldn't resist his determination to deceive the child. Because he knows that Yun Yi is already old and can't hide it from the child for the rest of his life. took out the little purse from his waist: Yi'er, Daddy can't stand you, I wanted to tell you five years ago, but you were still young at that time. Daddy was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear the pressure, so he thought about it for the night you went to Dongling, but he still didn't have the courage to tell you.
Yun Cheng took a deep breath: Daddy will tell you a story! Eleven years ago, a hunter who had just lost his lover chose to commit suicide in anger and grief. When this hunter entered the mountain forest he was familiar with, he did find a white nine-tailed spirit fox. When the hunter was ready to take out his bow and arrow to shoot him, he did see a trace of sadness in the eyes of the spirit fox. The hunter remembered that he was also in sorrow, and chose to come to no man's land to commit suicide, so he put down his bow and arrow. The hunter continued to walk forward, but the nine-tailed spirit fox did not want to leave. Finally, the hunter was too tired and hungry to sit aside and rest, and after a while, the spirit fox came to the hunter with a fragrant fruit. Placing the fragrant fruit in front of the hunter, the hunter picked up the fragrant fruit and saw the spirit fox jumping on the distant stone and screaming, as if to suggest that the hunter would follow him. I don't know how many mountains I have climbed, and finally the spirit fox disappeared by a river and disappeared in the eyes of hunters. The hunter searched for a long time and found no trace of the spirit fox, so he was about to turn back, when he faintly heard the cry of a child from the thick grass. At that time, the hunter thought that how could there be a child's cry in the deep mountains and old forests, it must have hit something unclean. The hunter had turned around and walked a few steps, but the wandering in his heart made the hunter stop. If it was really a child, there would be no chance of survival in this deep mountain and old forest, so the hunter followed the child's cry all the way to find it. At last the newborn child was found on the grassy beach at the corner of the river, and the hunter hurried forward to pick up the child, who had not been born long ago. The hunter took the child and left, and then came back and found a side within a radius of more than ten miles, except for some light beasts, and no one else or left behind was found. At that time, the child was crying with hunger, and the hunter had to give up the idea of suicide and take the child to the village to find a rich family to take him in. But they were reluctant to deny the unknown child, and then the hunter had to take the child every day to everyone who had sheep to find a mouthful of goat's milk for the child. Gradually, the hunter gave up suicide, and when the child could walk, he strapped himself to his body and started a new life with a bow and arrow.
