Chapter Ninety-One: Farming and Finding the Way

The field where Qu Zhongqiu is located is very distinctive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is not the kind of field with a single crop, such as only potatoes, so that the tubers are pulled out of the soil at harvest time; Or just plant corn and break the cobs in the fall. This piece of field, which is only more than ten zhang long and wide, has more than 20 kinds of crops, covering the upper, middle and lower three layers of space.

Originally, Qu Zhongqiu reserved several paths in this field for soil cultivation and grafting. He is very familiar with the types of crops on these roads, how they are rising, and what they look like.

However, Yin, who was walking in front, simply pulled out a few grasses and piled up a few straws, and this small field of several acres underwent earth-shaking changes.

Not only did he lose the trace of the sound in the blink of an eye, but he was even lost!

It's a bit like ...... At night, I went to the thatched house in the dark, turned on the light and saw that I was wetting the bed.

Qu Zhongqiu felt incredible.

After a while, Yin came out of a small clump of peas next to it. said: "Uncle, come and help me, there are still a few things that need to be dealt with on that side." ”

The old man looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, although she was still very clean all the way through the bushes and grass, and she didn't know how to keep it. What's more, this was obviously a familiar place for him, but suddenly it became unfamiliar. The old man felt the need to ask.

"Little girl, how did you do it? I've been farming here for many years, so why did I suddenly get lost? ”

Yin said as he took him to the arrangement, "Let's swap it." I'd love to know how you managed to grow so many crops in your field without affecting each other. ”

Qu Zhongqiu has been farming for many years, and although he doesn't know a single big character, he is very experienced in practice. He was originally curious about Yin's approach, but the girl's question was directly asked to his itch. He studied the knowledge of farming alone for a long time, but no one could communicate with him. The strange girl in front of her couldn't help but be very happy to be able to find out what he was proud of.

He said proudly: "This is the method of grain breeding that I independently figured out."

"The earth naturally contains many different essences for the growth of crops. Although all crops are wood-based, there are subtle differences between each different crop. Rice is hydrophilic, millet is drought tolerant, sunflower is sunny, and gourd likes yin...... A variety of different kinds of crops are mixed together and stimulate each other, like the five elements living together, there is no way to find out, and the things that can be studied are endless. ”

Qu Zhongqiu stroked his beard proudly, very proud: "Xu Xing, the ancestor of our peasant family, once left a secretary and said, 'How bold people are, how productive the land is'. Although the ancestors have not been alive for a long time, the spirit of heaven must be relieved to learn that the younger generations will carry forward this skill. ”

Yin said: "It is admirable to study techniques and increase the yield per unit, but this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there is so much land around it that can be cultivated, but you have wasted it. That's a pity. ”

Qu Zhongqiu's old face turned red and said, "This is a good thing to study the techniques handed down by the ancestors, and it is a good thing for the light gate lintel......"

He reasoned with his words, and found that he couldn't go on any longer, so he simply didn't say anything. He stood for a while, and then suddenly asked, "My old man has shaken out all my skills, and now it's your turn to say it." It's hard to believe that you've just arranged this so mysteriously that I'll get lost when I walk in it! ”

Yin continued to work and explained, "We are all pragmatists, so we won't talk about those big truths. I'll tell you a few simple things and you'll understand. ”

She stood on tiptoe, plucked a sunflower (sunflower) from the side, and said, "Uncle, please see, this is a flower plate, and its front and back are completely different. On the front is a fruit one by one, and on the back is a bouquet of receptacles. If you have never seen a flower plate, you will not be able to guess the front side when you see the back of the flower plate; When you see the front of the flower plate, you can't guess what the front looks like, right? ”

Qu Zhongqiu nodded, and then asked puzzledly, "That's right, but what does this have to do with your arrangement?" ”

Yin placed the plucked flower plate in a special place next to it, and then said, "Uncle, may you go up and down the same road, even if you walk once, will you get lost the second time?" ”

The old man thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Last time, he followed the hunter Tu Xu into the mountains to hunt, and halfway through the walk, he had to go back to the village alone because he had something to do. When he came back, he was lost. Obviously, the road is not far, and Mingming just walked through it once when he came, but he will also get lost.

"That's it." Yin said, "Uncle, it's not because your old man is not good at recognizing the road by nature, but because the same road, back and forth, is actually two roads. ”

The old man was stunned, why did she say that the same road is actually two roads?

"Because the scenery on the road is different." Yin said, "When you go back and forth on the same road twice, you see two completely different landscapes. It's as if when we look at a sunflower plate, the front view is completely different from the back view. When a person walks a road for the first time, he automatically memorizes in his mind a series of conspicuous signs on the road, which are intermittent rather than coherent. The process of memorization is actually the process of trying to remember a few important points first, and then automatically making up the remaining parts in the brain. Therefore, people do not remember the road, but some marking points on the road. The rest of the part, unless consciously memorized, actually depends on association. When you come back from the same road, the same scene presents another side, like two sides of a sunflower plate, completely different. If the marker points you choose when remembering look similar from the front and back directions, then the path will be easy to remember; On the other hand, if the chosen marker looks completely different from the two directions, such as choosing this flowerboard as the marker, people will feel that it is a completely unfamiliar road. ”

"It's a little trick of memory deception." Yin concluded, "I gave it a name, and it was called 'Memory Collapse.'" ”

After Yin finished the long list, he pointed to the flower plate again, and said to the old man, "Now, do you remember the way you came just now?" ”

Qu Zhongqiu was dazed by the girl's words, and he subconsciously followed Yin's fingers to look over, where was a sunflower plate. Then he wanted to answer Yin's question, shaking his head from side to side and looking around.

This small field is very lush. Most of the crops are green, so the yellow sunflower plate stands out. At a glance...... It seems that every corner, every place of vision is focused, and the sound has put down the yellow sunflower plate.

It's not much, but it's dense. These two contradictory feelings made his eyes feel a little uncomfortable.

The conspicuous scaffolds, vines, very obvious melons, flowering plants, which were used to identify the way, were all hidden deep in the bushes.

A small field is like a rainforest!

He's lost again!

The sound is gone again!

Yin, whose clothes were still very clean, went uphill from the ridges of the field and pulled Yue Qiang, who was standing at the entrance of the village, back to the village.

She said: "I'm going to the village to find Mingque and ask him to do me a small favor, and I have to add some material to that field." ”

Yue Qiang stood relatively high, he looked at the old man Qu Zhongqiu in the field with a radius of only more than ten zhang and couldn't get out, a little worried, a little curious: "What's wrong with the old man Qu Zhongqiu?" You're in there...... What did you do? ”

"A little arrangement."

"Old man...... Is he okay? Yue Qiang asked worriedly.

"If he doesn't burn that field...... You shouldn't be able to get out for an hour or two. ”

Yin said.
