Chapter 41: Leaps and Bounds
Mu Chen stood up with a smile: "That's not what I meant, anyway, it's okay to be idle now, then I'll go up the mountain!"
Mu Chen's idea was very simple, the source of the whole thing was that he was bitten by a snake on the mountain at that time, so he saw the old man standing on the top of the mountain in a dream, and got the magical power in the ancient book of thread, which was the source of all problems.
So the answer Mu Chen wants should be there.
Mu Chen didn't ride a tricycle this time, this afternoon is a rare free time, he planned to walk slowly towards the mountain, passing by his cucumber field, Mu Chen suddenly heard two children arguing about something, he hurriedly walked up to check.
I saw two little boys standing next to Mu Chen's cucumber field, and one of the boys pointed to the cucumber and said, "How can this be a cucumber? Your cucumber is so big, this is obviously a white melon!"
"Don't you see that the skin of this cucumber is emerald green, and we will ask the teacher tomorrow!" said the other child, with a flushed face.
"What cucumber and white melon...... Mu Chen walked forward with his hands behind his back and paced.
Although the two children have never seen Mu Chen, they usually take the initiative to call Mu Chen "Uncle Cousin" when they look older than themselves in the village, and the mouths of the two children are sweet, and they open their mouths together to call Mu Chen "Uncle Cousin".
Mu Chen was wondering when he looked so old, but after thinking about it, he pretended to say "um", he immediately took out two pieces of ten yuan from his bag and gave them to the two children, Mu Chen said: "Is this a cucumber or a white melon, you can ask the teacher tomorrow to know, take the money to buy snacks to eat, hurry up and go home!"
The two children took the money, regardless of whether it was a cucumber or a white melon, and happily jumped away from the cucumber field of Muchen's house.
"Sure enough," Mu Chen sighed for a while, "There's nothing that money can't solve......"
However, this incident also reminded Mu Chen that their cucumbers are indeed different from other cucumbers, first of all, the appearance is too attractive, if the cucumbers are allowed to be in the open air like this, sooner or later it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Mu Chen thought about it, and immediately had an idea, as long as these cucumbers are covered, no one will notice, the method is also very simple, now every household is popular greenhouses, when the time comes, let Mu Shulin find someone to make all the three acres of his own land into greenhouses, as for what to plant inside, that is a matter of the future.
Mu Chen thought and continued to walk towards the mountain, after arriving at the mountain, the sun was about to set, Mu Chen has been busy these days, and there is no time to go up the mountain to see, a few days no, the mountain has undergone earth-shaking changes, the previous barren land, at this moment again shows vitality, or a few days, the whole mountain will be able to be turned over, and then plant the skullcap, a year later, you can have a bumper harvest, think about it is beautiful.
Along the mountain, Mu Chen walked all the way up, and after a while, he came to the field that Mu Shulin said, sure enough, at the junction of this field and the woods, there was a fist-wide snake hole, looking down along the snake hole, the black and faint could not see the bottom, and everywhere in this field, Mu Chen found the pits they dug in the wood forest, and almost every pit appeared under the passage in all directions, according to this scale, I don't know how many snakes in this snake nest, but now I haven't seen any of them, which makes Mu Chen quite surprised.
"When you bit me that day, could it be that you came out of here?" Mu Chen thought to himself, and squatted at the mouth of the snake cave and looked in, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't understand the point, Mu Chen suddenly had a whim, and shouted at the snake cave: "Hey...... Snake, I've got something to do with you!"
After shouting these words, Mu Chen himself felt funny, if he could really call the snake out, it would be really strange.
After tossing for a while, Mu Chen simply sat on the ridge, looking at the mountains at his feet, his mind began to recall all kinds of things he had experienced in the past few days, in just a few days, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes, which made him full of expectations for himself, and even more full of expectations for the future.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen actually took a nap, and soon fell asleep, in his sleep, Mu Chen saw the old man standing on the top of the mountain again, this old man was still holding the yellowed thread-bound ancient book, and talked endlessly at the clouds on the horizon.
Mu Chen tried to hear clearly, but found that the voice was too ethereal, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't hear clearly, just when he was depressed, the old man suddenly turned to Mu Chen and smiled: "If you want to make a difference, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the best policy, and doing more good deeds can make progress......
"Hey, don't go, grandpa!" Mu Chen shouted, and then woke up violently, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was still an old man in front of him.
Mu Chen was very depressed, and he didn't know how he fell asleep just now, the dream just now still lingered in his mind, as if it had really happened.
What is the meaning of the phrase "only by doing more good deeds can we ......make progress"? Mu Chen pondered in his heart repeatedly, if it is understood literally, it means to let yourself do more good deeds, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but what kind of things can be regarded as good deeds?
Mu Chen thought about it and didn't know how to define it, but the old man had already made it very clear that as long as he did more good, he would be able to make progress.
Looking up, before he knew it, it was already dark, and the cool breeze was blowing at night, Mu Chen felt that his goal seemed to have been achieved, although he didn't know if this dream was really related to him staying in the mountains, anyway, the old man had already pointed out a clear path for him, as long as he did more good deeds and accumulated virtues, he should be able to do what he wanted.
Mu Chen moved his body, stood up and prepared to go home, at this moment a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, such a thing is impossible to find in the village, but if you want to do this in the village, there is just one place to go - that is Blue Fluttershy's health center!
Mu Chen immediately became excited when he thought of this, and he hurriedly sped up his speed and went down the mountain and went straight to Weimin Primary School.
"Why are you here at such a late hour?" Lan Xiaodie asked, but she could see that she was very happy about Mu Chen's arrival.
"Of course I'm looking for you for something, but then again, I don't feel comfortable seeing you for so long. Mu Chen was now more and more lawless when he spoke, and he knew that Lan Xiaodie's tolerance for him had also increased a lot, and perhaps it was because of the events of that night that the relationship between the two of them had grown by leaps and bounds.
"Didn't you just come here in the morning?" Fluttershy pouted, "If you have something, hurry up and talk about it, I'm still busy?"
Mu Chen walked into the clinic by himself, he glanced at the stool where Lan Xiaodie usually sits, thought about it and sat down, and then said seriously to Lan Xiaodie: "Miss Xiaodie, I really have something to ask for this time, I don't know if you want to help me?"
