Chapter 36: A Special Gift for Apprenticeship
Tian Zhancai and Tian Youjin listened to Tian Miao's suggestion, and they found the village chief, who came forward to act as a guarantor. Now most of the strong men in the village follow them up the mountain to cut down trees and plant trees.
This is a very good thing for the people of the village of Hetian, because they are located in the mountains and there are forests everywhere.
There is hardly any flat land, either slopes or ditches, and the cultivated fields are very scarce. This is also the main reason for the poverty of Hetian Village, and some people have tried to reclaim the forest land, but none of them have succeeded.
The reason is that the ground on the mountain is full of intricate roots, and how high the tree is on the ground, then how deep its roots are underground. It takes a long time just to clear the root system in the soil, and the grass system in the mountains is also very developed.
Farming in the mountains, seedlings don't like to grow, but if the weeds grow vigorously, they have to weed almost every day, in such an era when everything is handmade. The amount of labor was quite large, so slowly no one went to the mountains to open up the wasteland.
Now that there is such an opportunity to make money, how can they not cherish it? Even if they can't get their wages now, but with the village chief as a guarantor, they will naturally not be yellowed.
With this in mind, everyone worked very energetically every day, and there were hardly any men in the whole Hetian Village, all old people, women and children.
"Sister, is this interesting?" Tian Xing also leaned over to look, and saw that there were a lot of pictures drawn on it, and there were many words under the picture.
Tian Miao put down the translation in his hand, turned his head to look at Tian Xing, and asked puzzledly.
"Xing'er, is there something wrong with you?" This little girl is not a master who can sit still, since she doesn't have to look at Shuang'er, she runs out to play every day.
"Hehe, big sister, you're amazing." Tian Xing saw that the eldest sister saw through it, so she stopped pretending.
"What's the matter?" Tian Miao looked at her and was very curious about what she was going to say, this girl is usually not like this, what do you say, the child is very abnormal today.
"Eldest sister, if I say it, will you be angry?" Tian Xing asked with some concern, the eldest sister is not easy to mess with, the children in the village are all walking around when they see her.
Last time Tian Shuang's matter, the eldest sister took all those boys, Tian Xing just saw her majesty, and then thought that she wanted to be a chivalrous girl when she grew up.
"Say, I'm not angry." Tian Miao guessed that there must be something related to herself, and it was estimated that who was saying bad things about her behind her back.
"I had a stomachache just now, but the hut stinks, so I ran under the window of the milk house." Before Tian Xing's words were finished, she was interrupted by Tian Miao.
"Where are you going, girl? Let's see if our grandma doesn't scold you. "Tian Miao is really convinced, this Tian Xing just likes to run there, and he doesn't have a long memory when he is scolded a hundred times.
"She didn't see it with her own eyes, who can prove that I pulled it? If I don't go there, where else can I go? Tian Xing said it as a matter of course, she can't pull under the window of her family, she can't be happy by herself, so she smokes her family with stench, right?
Who let grandma live in the main house, there is just shade behind the house, and there is a mountain outside the backyard, and no one lives. Even if you lose your own length, no one can see it, and in such a summer, how difficult it is to find a place that is cool, undisturbed, smellless, and free of flies?
"I really didn't have a trick for you, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on?" Tian Miao was really speechless, anyway, Fu Shi just scolded every time.
And every time, she personally brought those things that exuded smell to the thatched house, so Tian Miao didn't bother to talk about Tian Xing, as long as she didn't get caught.
Tian Xing told Tian Miao the conversation she heard word for word, but Tian Miao didn't react at all after listening to it.
"Sister, why aren't you angry?" Tian Xing was very puzzled, she was angry when she heard it, and she didn't finish it in order to report to her eldest sister.
"What's so angry? Let them toss, and when the time comes, see who will lose face. Tian Miao smiled and picked up the album again.
In fact, she had already written down the contents of the atlas, and now she was only looking at it to deepen her impression, and from tomorrow onwards, she would go to the river to find stones suitable for practice.
Craftsmanship is a theory, it is far from enough, she believes that practice makes perfect, and she can't afford to use jade. But there are all kinds of stones in the river, and it is best to use them to practice your hands, and if you can carve hard stones, there is no problem with those jades.
Two days later, Tian Miao carried a basket and brought her two younger sisters to Bai Yiran's house. Seeing their arrival, Bai Yiran and the three of them naturally knew what was going on with them, so none of them spoke, waiting to see what kind of gift she sent.
Brother Huang and Sister-in-law Huang are like invisible people, they will not appear in front of them unless necessary, Tian Miao always feels that the two of them are like ninjas.
"I brought them here to apprentice." As soon as Tian Miao entered the door, he said with a smile, as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, you always want a better attitude.
"Worship as much as you want? What about when this is a temple? Kiko originally planned to go in a cold style, but as soon as she saw her fake smile, she immediately broke down.
"Look at what you say, how can there be a living person compared to those clay statues? I'm here today with great sincerity. I don't dare to say anything else, these are my hard work, and I promise that you will never find a second one, which is truly unique. Tian Miao put the basket on the table as he spoke, Bai Yiran and they had already seen it, this basket covered with a piece of flower cloth.
"Bragging, what great thing can you do?" Kiko didn't believe her words.
"Do you want to make a bet, if you can find a second one in this world, then I will give you the current person in the future. But if you can't find it, just stop accepting my sister as an apprentice, what's the matter? Do you dare to bet? Tian Miao has the courage to try it.
"Okay, that's a deal." Kiko's words rushed out of his mouth, and when he finished speaking, he saw the smile on her face and immediately felt like he had fallen into a trap.
Bai Yiran looked at Xizi who was stupidly sucked into the trap, and shook his head helplessly, what a fool, he deserved to be trapped. But then again, if it weren't for Tian Miao, he wouldn't have let people cheat Xizi lightly, and he would be safe and sound.
Xizi guessed in her heart that she might have been fooled, but the words were said, and he couldn't go back on being a big man.
And when he saw what Tian Miao took out of the basket, his eyes almost flew out, thanks to the frame of his eyes.
And Bai Yiran and Shunzi, who were watching the show on the side, although they were not as exaggerated as Xizi on their faces, they were surprised in their hearts.
After Bai Yiran was briefly surprised, a sense of relief rose in his heart, that thousand-year-old cold iron was not like the tyrannical thing that Xizi said.
