Chapter 298: Exert yourself
Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, not to mention the food and drink. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHalf a month later, my ancestor and I entered the territory of S Province. Looking at the vast mountains and steep rock walls in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh: "The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky." Master, are we really not taking the big road? ā
"The main road is for the car, and when you enter Shu, you naturally have to take the Shu road." Shi Zu picked up the flask and took a sip before continuing: "I may not have been back for a long time, and I don't know if my old friends are still there. ā
S province is the birthplace of Zhengyi, and Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Zhengyi, is the wealthy family in Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. It is only because of chance that the road to enlightenment has been created. After that, he began to travel around, knowing that under the Longhu Mountain in J Province, and seeing the weather of Longhu Mountain like a dragon and tiger fighting, he placed a ding alchemy in Longhu Mountain. On the day of Dancheng, it was opened in Longhu Mountain. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there have always been two major mountain gates, Longhu Mountain is naturally in the column, and the other is Qingcheng Mountain in S Province.
Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops into Shu and killed people when he saw them, and the entire population of Shu stopped nine out of ten. In order to avoid disaster, the Zhengyi people on Qingcheng Mountain had no choice but to move to Longhu Mountain. Although after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Zhengyi Temple on Qingcheng Mountain was reopened again, but after many years, it has lost its prosperity of the year. To this day, although Zhengyi has always had two mountain gates, in fact, Zhengyi on Qingcheng Mountain is more like a rudder. It's not as good as Longhua Mountain, a whole piece of land is a positive one.
"Eleven, as a member of Zhengyi's door, he must go to Qingcheng Mountain at least once in his life to pay homage to the patriarch's tablet. It's like ****** Christians, rich or poor, have to make at least one pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in their lives. Shizu said.
I nodded and said, "Yes, Master." "Speaking of which, although Brother Jiu is quite rich, however, we rarely travel, mainly because we don't have time. Usually we have to go to school, and when it's time for the holidays, Brother Jiu often has to perform tasks. I haven't really been anywhere else except Sancai City. In the past two years, I have been admitted to the Taoist priesthood, and I have had a few business trips, but every time I have experienced it... Thinking of this, I asked, "Master, is the old friend you just mentioned in the ancestral garden of Qingcheng Mountain?" ā
"Ancestral Garden?" Shi Zu shook his head and said, "Now the ancestor should be from my senior nephew." After my junior brother died, I was the only one left in my life. After speaking, the master picked up the wine jug and sprinkled it on the ground, then took a sip of it himself and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, I am an old immortal, and I don't know when I will see you again." ā
I saw that my ancestor was a little unhappy on his face, and thought that my ancestor felt lonely, so I comforted: "Ancestor, take care." ā
"Alas," the ancestor sighed and said, "Eleven, the wine is gone again..."
I was almost stumbled by Shizu's words. Why is it gone? In the past, I didn't know how to make wine, but since I followed him, the responsibility of buying wine has fallen on my shoulders. During this time, I washed dishes and moved, dug graves and carried coffins, and held vigils for funerals, I did everything I could. I finally made some money, in addition to buying some dry food, I just bought wine for my ancestors. But my ancestor didn't let me save money, I made a hundred in the morning, and if I couldn't spend it in the evening, he would throw it away. Wherever I hide, I can be found.
"Is there no money again?" Shi Zu looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "Eleven, there is a small village in front, how many days will you go to sell your strength before entering the mountain?" ā
I looked at my ancestor, don't look weak, I don't know how many times stronger than I played. But, despite this, it is impossible for me to let my ancestor work hard. I nodded and said, "Yes, Master." ā
During this period of exercise, I have gained experience, it is the autumn harvest, and the easiest job to find is to harvest grain for people. I didn't have to look for it, I came to a farmland and saw an old man harvesting grain, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, do you want someone to collect grain?" Just take care of me and my grandfather for a meal. ā
The old man looked up at me, and then said, "Can you work?" ā
I hurriedly put down my backpack and said, "I'll try, if it doesn't work, I'll give you nothing." ā
The old man looked at me carefully, and then looked at the ancestor beside me. Shizu's acting skills came up at this time, and he pretended to be weak and said: "Brother, don't look at my grandson's small size, he has to do a job." ā
"Cheng, you try. Let's talk about it first, it's not good to do the work, so you don't have to eat. The old man came over and handed me the sickle.
I took the scythe and nodded, "That's nature, you rest." With that, I rolled up my sleeves and went into the rice paddies. When it comes to harvesting rice, when I first learned the harvesting techniques of farmers, I always felt that it was very different. The speed can't come up, and the cut can't be sharp. The first few times it was all for nothing. Later, I finally figured out the rope.
I bent down, slashed the scythe across like a sword, and then grabbed the severed rice with my left hand. At this moment, the old man was stunned and said, "Can you still come like this?" ā
Shizu smiled: "Brother smiled, this is our hometown method. Although it is not as good as a harvester, one or two are certain. ā
The old man looked at me again, and felt that there should be no problem, so he picked up the dry tobacco and lit it and asked, "Brother, where are you going?" This is going forward, but it is Shu Road. There was no one but monkeys. ā
Shizu smiled: "It's not that no one, I have an old friend who lives in the mountains." ā
"Oh?" The old man was curious: "That old friend of yours is from the Yi nationality, right?" ā
Shizu nodded and said, "This time, I took my grandson out to travel around." Passing by here, I wanted to stop by to see my old friends. ā
Not to mention that the ancestor and the old man were chatting on the side. Half an hour later, I slept until I had finished the harvest and put it on the trolley, and said, "Uncle, do you think this work is okay?" ā
The old man exclaimed: "Okay, if it weren't for you, I would have to collect it for a day." It's not necessarily as sharp as you. Are you still free after lunch? I'll introduce you to a few more jobs. ā
I was worried that I would not have a chance to earn wine for my ancestor, so I nodded and said, "Yes, but if I live a lot, in addition to taking care of the rice, I have to give my grandfather some wine." His old man was confused when he didn't drink anything. ā
"Yes!" The old man nodded and said: "The most famous thing in our village is Zhu Yeqing, after drinking our Zhu Yeqing, drinking other wine is like drinking water." ā
As soon as the ancestor heard the three words of Zhu Yeqing, his saliva was about to flow out, and he said, "Brother, can you let me taste it on the hour at noon?" ā
The old man nodded and said, "Cheng, let's go, let's eat." (To be continued.) )
