Chapter Twenty-Three: Spring Peace
Spring is coming, and Yan is back.
When the smoke of the festival ended, the mountain realm of Dongtian returned to its former silence.
The snow in the mountains, when it has not completely melted, swallows break the silence of the sky - the black scissors fly smartly, it is the pace of spring, and it is the spirit of the wind.
A few swallows, hovering in the air for a while, finally seemed to have found a home, and lived in the original few mud bird's nests in Zhou Yi's house, chattering, so lively.
Zhou Yi looked at the swallows that were obviously fat, recognized them, and greeted them one by one; Looking at a few empty swallow nests, I was worried again - why didn't I come back? Did something happen on the way?
Not every swallow will return to its original bird's nest.
There are also diligent swallows who have not found a home, or who are disgusted with the dilapidated old houses, holding on to the grass and mud, and filling them under the eaves little by little - soon, a rudimentary mud nest is revealed.
Building a mud nest seems to be a skill engraved in the souls of all swallows, a skill that is born in their veins when they learn to fly, when they leave their parentsโa heritage like humans.
Countless vines, after a frost and snow in autumn and winter, once again give birth to fresh young leaves, and each tree is full of vitality.
At the foot of the mountain, by the Yanxi, Zhou Tongxiao and his wife looked at the sprouting vines, and finally breathed a sigh of relief - when they planted the "treasure tree" with Zhou Yi in the autumn when the ten thousand trees were exhausted, they were still a little apprehensive, but now the young shoots are like seeds of hope, reflecting the bright road ahead of them.
Every day, in every sunny day and drizzle, they looked at the vines one by one; Looking at these vines, as if taking care of their own children, they grow little by little, and every stretch of the buds makes the two of them remember in their hearts, full of excitement and the feeling of life.
Zhou Tong even took out a camera to record the growth of these vines.
In contrast, Zhou Yi's management of the vineyard is much more extensive - except for the few days when it is planted, except for ten days and a half months when some space spiritual water is poured into the spring eye, allowing it to infiltrate the land with the activity of the spring water, stirring the root system of the vines, and the rest of the time, these grape seedlings are allowed to grow on their own.
Cattle and sheep came out of the cave.
The big sheep with the little sheep and the head sheep lead the flock, and the flocks come out of which field, running to their heart's content on the soft land, enjoying the rippling spring breeze, the melting spring, the warm rain of the spring sun, enjoying the clear drizzle, and enjoying the freshest grass buds that germinate after a winter of gestation.
The number of sheep did not decrease because of Zhou Yi's consumption, but increased more and more.
The sheep have no natural predators in this land; The diluted spiritual water and the grass in the field ensure the abundance of their ingredients and the robustness of their physique, coupled with the development of the land, Zhou Yi constantly replenishes the sheep from the outside - now, how many sheep there are in the cave, Zhou Yi only knows a rough idea.
It is also strange to say that only the group of cattle and sheep in this cave is the one in the peach forest, which is the most robust; Next, there are the sheep around the peach forest, which are much smaller in size; Farther away, although it is already a head larger than its peers, it is far from being as sturdy as the amazing perverts in the peach forest.
Sheep are omnivores and eat everything, such as peaches and grapes from trees, as well as leaves from fruit trees.
However, the first batch of sheep, after Zhou Yi's lesson and the repair of the chickens, ducks and geese on the top of the tree, kept to themselves one by one, only staring at the pasture for food.
And the sheep that came after them, as the first sheep taught, stopped eating the leaves and fruits of the dwarf trees.
There is no need to ask Zhou Yi how the ducks and geese got up the trees, in fact, he doesn't know.
He only knew that starting with chickens, all poultry gradually regained their original demeanor as birds, began to fly to the sky, began to make nests in trees, began to be like eagles, and had a strong sense of territory and airspace.
However, it is clear that their territory is too small and too small compared to the thousand acres of land that have been developed; The other land has attracted a group of birds.
The egret was the first bird to come to this mountain.
The first egret was very large, and some people were tall, not worse than ordinary cranes - long feathers and chest ornaments swaggered in the wind, like milky white mutton fat jade carving, shining in the sun, revealing a noble and unremarkable demeanor.
She led a flock of egrets to patrol the sky for a while, and finally at a place close to the peach forest, after receiving the warning of the "ancestors" of those domineering "chickens, ducks and geese", she landed in a grape forest, patrolled, and even demarcated the territory.
This arrogant giant heron was caught and given to him by Zhou Yi's second cousin last year.
The egret was flying high - he was always kept in the space, and it seemed a little cramped, and he was taking advantage of the warm spring day to release the egret.
I thought that the egret, which had been lured by spiritual water and had long been "tamed", would make a home in the forest, but who knew that this egret was hovering in the mountains for a while, roaring for a long time, rising to the sky, and disappearing.
Zhou Yi looked at the vanishing egret, and his heart was lost, but he was not very disappointed - birds should soar in the air and be free in the sky, and should not be detained in a cage, right?
In the final analysis, it was still that his space was a little too small to accommodate such an elf.
Saying small, in fact, Zhou Yi's space is not small.
The money earned from selling peaches, except for a few that was used by Zhou Yi to continue to improve the living environment, the rest was used by Zhou Yi to buy jade.
Today's space is almost not much smaller than the thousands of acres of land outside, but as a real world, there is still too much.
The egret flew away for only a few days, and soon, it led a large group of equally snow-white egrets to fly back, which caused Zhou Yi to be happy, and he actually brought out the spiritual water spirit fish from the space stream to entertain this group of distant visitors.
He gave the heron a name called "White Jade".
He stroked Bai Yu's feathers, neck and abdomen, Bai Yu obediently lowered his head, and whispered, as if telling the endless thoughts and fetters in the days since he left.
Her clear sound is crisp and clear, such as Huanpei Qingming, which does not make people indulge in intoxication, not the girl's murmuring, but the refreshing ringing of the empty ring, which is the sound of the guqin.
Not far away, in a flock of egrets, all the egrets looked at the approaching strange man, and they all let out restless cries, constantly calling their queen.
Bai Yu let out a dissatisfied, and the restless birdsong finally lowered, but no heron dared to approach this strange "monkey".
They didn't have such vigilance and vigilance against such "monkeys" from the beginning, but after repeated injuries, this vigilance was finally engraved into the bones of these white birds, allowing them to survive to this day......
In the spring, when the farm was busy, Zhou Yi once again bought lotus root seeds, cultivated them in the space, and planted more various kinds of lotus seeds by the Dongtian Lake - you can almost imagine what kind of pure and warm sound these silent lotus seeds will make in summer!
He also planted some rice and other miscellaneous grains.
On weekdays, when he is alone, he takes food directly from the space.
But with the evolution of the space, especially after the change brought by the milky white spirit jade, the space is becoming more and more amazing, and the things inside can no longer be easily taken out and displayed in front of people. When a lot of it comes out, it's not easy to explain.
planting these things provided a cover for him to eat and drink every day; These spiritual water nourishing things, even if they are worse than those in the space, are enough to heal the body of their loved ones.
Besides, he always has to find something to do, doesn't he?
Looking at the little things in the ground, from germination to growth, to fruiting and harvesting, isn't that heavy golden yellow more valuable than gold?

I went out yesterday morning and just came back.
The weather changes suddenly, pay attention to the cold, especially after a hot bath, take me as a reference!
In addition, about "refinement" and "deletion of posts", most of them are done by themselves, but a small part is a little bit of mother's brain pumping, which turns the refined ones into deleted ones, and they can't be made up; If you refine the ones that are ready to be deleted, you can't delete them (I have encountered too many accidents like this, especially when processing them in batches)......
Finally, as for the comments about the shortcomings of this book, in some respects, I accept it, but after that, how to do it, is a question worth pondering, and most likely even the next book - thank you in any case.
