Chapter 658: Mountain Village Cultivation
More than three months later, at about six o'clock in the morning, in a small village not far from the foot of the mountain of the Dumb Beast Temple, Sato Kaede, dressed as a country farmer, was carrying a hoe with the giant swamp monster to a wasteland on the northern outskirts of the village.
At this time, most of this large wasteland that had been abandoned for a long time had been reclaimed, and some easy-to-grow crops were planted, and after Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster came to this wasteland, they each picked up a few buckets of water from the wasteland, and then fetched water from the small river two hundred meters away from the wasteland.
In order to complete the irrigation of the cultivated land that has been successfully cultivated, Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster have traveled back and forth between the cultivated land and the river more than a dozen times, during which they also have a conversation with some mountain farmers who also come to fetch water.
After the irrigation of the crops in the cultivated land was completed, Sato Kaede and the Giant Swamp Monster began to use their hoes to continue to clear the wasteland, and continued to expand the cultivated area of the wasteland.
When the time was approaching 11 o'clock, a little girl dressed in coarse linen came to the wasteland with Pichu and a natural finch, and gave Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster a large package.
"Brother Kaede, giant swamp monster, here, this is the lunch that my mother asked me to bring you."
The little girl jumped in front of Sato Kaede with a large package, and then said to Sato Kaede with a smile, as soon as she finished speaking, she carried the large package in her hand to Sato Kaede.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junko, when I go back in the afternoon, I'll buy you candy to eat."
At this time, Sato Kaede, who was sweating profusely, heard the little girl's words, he quickly put down the hoe in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel on his shoulder, and then smiled at the little girl.
He didn't immediately take the package handed by the little girl, but reached into the nearby bucket with his hand, and only after washing his hands did he take the large package in the other person's hand.
Junko was very happy to get Sato Kaede's promise, and after she hooked Sato Kaede with her little tail finger, she jumped up and down again and walked towards the village with Pichu and the natural finch.
At this time, the hungry giant swamp monster had already come to Sato Kaede's side, and before Sato Kaede could open the package, he was anxious to grab the package, and then quickly opened it.
However, when he found that the lunch contained in the lunch box in the package was still a dozen seaweed rice balls, his face suddenly collapsed, and after a few wails, he ate most of the seaweed rice balls in the package lunch box at once.
Sato Kaede didn't care when he saw this, he took the lunch box that the giant swamp monster handed over and left two nori rice balls, and then came to the shade of a nearby big tree, he ate the nori rice balls with taste, while looking at the vibrant farmland in front of him and the quiet and peaceful village not far away.
Looking at it, Sato Kaede's eyes became softer and deeper, and the whole person seemed to become a part of the mountain and field scenery, and at this time, some birds and insects that had stopped chirping began to continue to chirp.
The location of the Dumb Beast Monastery is in the middle of the barren mountains between the town of Kaji and the Ice Pass, and due to the heavy fog that covers it all year round, this ancient monastery is very difficult to find.
It took Sato Kaede five days to reach Kaji Town across Mt. Bowl and Road 42 from Sonoju City, and then in order to find the location of the Dumb Beast Temple, he wandered through the barren mountains and mountains of Route 44 for several days before finding the Dumb Beast Temple.
With Dr. Oki's letter of introduction, Sato Kaede got his wish to get the reception and help of the head of the Dumb Beast Temple, but the help given to Sato Kaede by this host named Xuan Ming was somewhat unexpected by Sato Kaede.
After the other party learned about Sato Kaede's situation, he didn't let Sato Kaede do the meditation training, floor mopping training, and fishing training that Ash and others received in the animation.
From beginning to end, the only thing the other party asked Sato Kaede to do was to plow the land with the farmer in the small mountain village below the mountain, and also asked the giant swamp monster in Sato Kaede to plow the land together.
Sato Kaede didn't understand Xuanming's arrangement at first, but when he gradually replayed the role of a farmer in the mountains, he gradually recalled the days when he lived with his adoptive father and adoptive mother in the countryside.
At that time, although life was very hard, life was very happy and comfortable, far from being as troubled as now.
So, Sato Kaede finally understood what the host meant to let him be a mountain farmer again, since he left the countryside to see the prosperity of the city and the various trials and tribulations he experienced in Team Rocket, his heart has lost its original purity.
And because of too much killing, a heart is finally difficult to feel at ease and cannot calm down.
If he wants to get rid of the evil thoughts of killing in his heart, the most important thing he needs to do is to calm his mind, and at the same time stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and the struggle of interests, and then eliminate the evil thoughts of killing in his heart little by little through ordinary life.
After more than three months of living as a farmer in the mountains, Sato Kaede had a great harvest, he knew everyone in several nearby villages, and because of his helpfulness and often helping people in nearby mountain villages solve some wild elf things, he quickly integrated into this rural paradise.
Every day here, although he lived a very dull life, he was unusually full and happy.
Now, even if he took off the sycamore bracelet given to him by Dr. Oki and the jade Buddha pendant given to him by Boss Sakaki, his heart can remain calm, and he no longer has the bad feeling of feeling like he was surrounded by enemies when he first came out of the mysterious island.
Being kind to others and being helpful is what Kaede Sato has learned in the past three months in this mountain and countryside that can truly calm his heart.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun began to set in the west, and Sato Kaede and the Giant Numa Monster finished their farming work for the day, and after returning to the village for dinner, they began to walk in the direction of the Dumb Beast Temple on the mountain.
Soon, Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster came to a small waterfall in the mountain behind the temple of the dumb beast, and after seeing that no one was practicing under the waterfall, the two hurriedly sat down under the waterfall and put a piece of bluestone on it, and then closed their eyes and silently endured the impact of the waterfall waterfall, in order to hone their will.
This is also one of the practices that Master Xuanming gave to Sato Kaede, requiring him to examine himself three times under the waterfall every night, thinking about the gains and losses of the day.
Ten minutes later, an old monk in a monk's robe appeared in front of the waterfall with a charem in the moonlight.
"This little benefactor has taken our place again, how many days have we been, coming every day, alas~, it's really terrifying, let's go, Charem, let's continue to practice elsewhere tonight."
The old monk looked at Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster who were honing their will under the waterfall at this time, and after a slight sigh, he turned around and left with Charem.
Not long after the old monk, an old monk who was also wearing a monk's robe suddenly appeared in front of the waterfall, and after he silently watched Sato Kaede and the giant swamp monster from the shore for a short while, he put down a letter on the shore, and then disappeared from the shore in an instant.
