Chapter 4: Half-human, half-Buddha, half-immortal
The fairy house is located on the mountainside of Lizi Mountain, from the pond of Anxi Village, coming out, along a gravel path, winding up.
The old man on the road, talking about the old fairy, looked excited, and even looked like a young man.
"Old man, this old immortal, it's really so powerful, you can tell us about it. Hao Dapeng was funny.
"Speaking of the old immortals, there are many stories. Zhou Xin, asked about the story of the old fairy, the old man looked excited and said.
"Tell me about it. Hao Dapeng asked eagerly, this guy is actually quite curious in his heart, what is the relationship between Zhou Xin and this old immortal, why did he come to the countryside to raise pigs.
"To say, the old fairy is the living person of our village. "Old man, take out the dry tobacco pouch, let Zhou Xin, Hao Dapeng, see the two of them, wave their hands, and then light the smoke pot, let's take a bite.
"It was more than 40 years ago, when people starved to death, there were no starving people in that village, there was no crying and mourning in that village, only our Anxi Village, relying on the old gods, not a single baby starved to death. ”
"It's so powerful, this old immortal, can he still conjure food. "Hao Dapeng, I heard my father mention the year of starvation, not to mention the countryside, there are starvation deaths in the city.
"Hahaha, young man, I think a lot. "The old man, knocking the smoke pot pot, laughing, patting, and the big stone on the side. "This matter, if you want to talk about it, it's complicated, and you won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. ”
"Don't sell it, tell me quickly, what has this old fairy done, it's not easy for a village to feed. Hao Dapeng, as if he was curious about the baby, sat next to the old man and helped the old man light the smoke pot.
Zhou Xin smiled when he saw it. "I know a little bit about this. ”
"You?"
Hao Dapeng looked incredulous.
"The old fairy means, little brother, learn a few percent. The old man, with surprise flashing in his eyes, stared at Li Han.
If you want to say that the old immortals, the ability, who doesn't admire it, but unfortunately, the time to leave is too long, Anxi Village, before the old fairy left, it was a rich village in ten miles and eight townships, but unfortunately, the old fairy has been gone for more than 20 years.
Most of the young people in the village listened to the older generation, and most of them thought that this was an old man's boast, and they couldn't take it seriously.
Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, he was a bit incompetent as the inheritor. "Three points. ”
"Three points, no less, no less. The old man, knocking on the smoke pot, muttered, got up, it seemed that because of Zhou Xin, this sentence, the old man's pace was a little brisk
"Uncle Zhou, have you really learned from the so-called old immortals?" Hao Dapeng, but he knows that Zhou Xin's personality is a bit lazy, or loose.
Zhou Xin looked at the old man leading the way in front of him, and whispered with a wry smile. "You didn't see the old man's expectant look, I want to say, I have only met the old fairy a few times, and I don't have any skills, let alone lead the way, maybe drive out of the village." ”
"Feelings, you are a big fool, but you don't plan to live here, sooner or later, you will be known. Hao Dapeng said worriedly.
"You can learn slowly. Zhou Xin patted Hao Dapeng as he spoke. "Hurry up, keep up. ”
Coming to the mountainside, looking at the courtyard house located on the mountainside, Hao Dapeng's eyes glared at the boss. "It's not a small place, it's just a bit dilapidated. ”
The green tile and white wall, but the white mud is a little off, revealing the big green stone inside, the courtyard wall has collapsed a lot, into the yard, on the left and right sides, is the vegetable field, it was barren early, only a few bamboo poles are left.
When you open the door, you will be greeted by a rotten smell, facing three large rooms, two small huts on both sides, and a small courtyard in the middle, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and even the stone steps are buried by weeds.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
When I opened the wooden doors of the three large houses in the doorway, dust came to my face. "How do you live in this house? ”
"The structure of the house is quite complete, and there is only some mud falling around it. Zhou Xin looked around, nodded, and it was not difficult to repair it. "Is there a waterhole here?"
"There is a creek in the backyard that flows through it, and there is a small waterfall, a small pool. The old man said.
"I want to look around, old man, if you have something to do, get busy first. Zhou Xin said.
"Okay, if you have something, you can find me, hehe, at noon, eat at our house, and I'll let the old woman kill a chicken and stew it when I go back." "Speak, old man, out of the yard.
"Quite welcoming. Hao Dapeng said with a smile. "Zhou Xin, what is the relationship between you and that old immortal. ”
"Hehe, it's a master and apprentice. Zhou Xin said with a smile. "Go, go around. ”
The small courtyard is located on the mountainside, the backyard, against a bamboo forest, on the edge of the bamboo forest in the waterhole. "It's not bad, waterfalls, bamboo forests, but renting this place will cost a lot of money, do you have enough money, do you want me to lend you a little." ”
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. Zhou Xin said with a smile, the old man didn't forget, the title deed certificate and the note were put together.
After a walk, I returned to the village along the gravel mountain road, the old man, really stewed chicken, warmly invited Zhou Xin and Hao Dapeng to eat at home, the two couldn't shirk it, followed the past, fortunately, they brought some gifts, which was a courtesy, but the old man shirked and did not want to accept it.
After lunch, Hao Dapeng drove back to the city, and Zhou Xin stayed. "If you really stay, that house, if you don't tidy it up, you won't be able to live in it. Hao Dapeng couldn't understand it more and more, Zhou Xin, is it too exciting to fall out of love.
"It's okay, I'm alone, just mess around, it's summer, it's not so particular, be careful when driving on the road." Zhou Xin, carrying the suitcase, said with a smile.
"Alright then, call me if something happens, I'll come and pick you up at any time. Hao Dapeng, muttering in his heart, go back, if Zhou Xin's family asks, he really doesn't know, how to get back, he can't say that Zhou Xin wants to raise pigs in the mountains and won't go back to Wengcheng.
Hao Dapeng was full of worries and drove away from Anxi Village, Zhou Xin, carrying suitcases and backpacks, and returned to the fairy house. "Let's tidy up the bedroom first, get together for the night, and find some people to clean it up tomorrow. ”
Coming to the bedroom, Zhou Xin pushed open the door and was stunned, there was a note on the bedroom table, this note was too familiar to Zhou Xin. "Hahaha, Lao Tzu is gone, the next unlucky guy, you are welcome to take over, Lao Tzu, finally free, haha. ”
Zhou Xin was dumbfounded, although this note is made of the same paper, it is only a little yellowed, could it be that it was left for many years. The note, picked it up, within two minutes, was broken, feelings, this is really left by the old man for more than 20 years.
Needless to say, it's yourself, Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, clean up the bedroom, it's okay, it's nothing else when the dust comes out. "Take a look at the idler's space first. ”
"Congratulations on completing the idler quest. ”
"Sure enough, there are mountains and rivers in a good place. ”
Zhou Xin didn't have too many surprises, and clicked to receive the reward bamboo house builder. "Whether or not to learn how to build a bamboo house. ”
"Of course. ”
Zhou Xinxin said that it was not easy to get a reward and not study, and the difficulty remained.
It's a pity, Zhou Xin, I don't know, how bad the idler's space is. "Enter the idler's learning space. ”
Zhou Xin, walking into a small courtyard, the two sides of the gate of the small courtyard were written, 'All the work in the world belongs to my door, half human, half Buddha and half immortal'.
"What a big breath. Zhou Xin muttered.
Walking into the study hut, Zhou Xin regretted it.
"Young man, we meet again. ”
"It's you. Zhou Xin, his eyes widened.
"It's me, it's not me. The old man laughed.
"I don't have much time, let's start studying, I hope you can become a bamboo house builder within three years. The old man said with a smile.
"What does it mean to be able to become, isn't it just three years of study?"
"No, it's a study. The old man said with a smile. "I've used two years and six months, old man. ”
"Okay. "Zhou Xin, helpless. "It's just that I've been gone for three years, and my family will definitely be anxious. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the time of the learning space is 1,000 to 1 from the outside world, three years here, but only one day in the world. The old man said.
"That's right. "Zhou Xin, breathe a sigh of relief, if it really disappears for three years, how can the family be in a hurry.
"Start learning. ”
Speaking, the teacher taught, the bamboo house was built, from the selection of bamboo, the production of bamboo chips, to the overall planning of the bamboo house, the model was formed, and the old man was demonstrated to Zhou Xin over and over again.
One day, one day passed, Zhou Xin followed the old man, cut bamboo, made bamboo, built models to build bamboo houses, it seems, there is no black sky and white day in the space, a year has passed, and Zhou Xin began to build bamboo houses independently in the second year.
One, two, one by one bamboo houses were built, and because of one problem after another, they were demolished by the idler space, until the tenth month of the third year, Zhou Xin built a perfect bamboo house.
"Ahh ”
Zhou Xin, yelling loudly, relieved, God, torture, God, Zhou Xin would rather go to the third year of high school ten more times.
This is simply, people are crazy, three years, keep building bamboo houses, non-stop, Zhou Xin, almost crazy, in the middle, I thought about giving up, but I thought of the consequences of giving up, Zhou Xin gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Sleep, I'm going to sleep. ”
Out of the idler's space, Zhou Xin fell asleep.
"Hey. ”
"Why are you here?"
Zhou Xin didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Hao Dapeng and was a little puzzled.
"What time are you still sleeping? Hao Dapeng said. "I brought you some groceries. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Why yesterday, it was very late to clean up. Hao Dapeng said with a smile. "It looks like I haven't slept well in days. ”
"Don't mention it. ”
Zhou Xin said with a smile. "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, I bought some cooked food when I came over. Hao Dapeng, after speaking, Zhou Xin was stunned, and the idler space came out of the first task of the month. "Plenty of food and clothing, don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, task _ refining heart road - pave the bluestone road from the small courtyard to the village, and reward the chef for a section. ”
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine. Zhou Xin, smiled bitterly.
