Chapter 83: The Fruits of Autumn

Time flies, the years are in a hurry, and the streamer is easy to throw people away, red cherries, green plantains.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yi has been here for two months, and I still remember that two months ago, he helped the villagers busy in the fields, that was the first time his feet were inserted into the mud, first he felt cold, then warm, and then it was a greasy touch that made people want to pull out their feet desperately, and then Chu Yi sat in the mud because he was too strong, and at this time he needed a hand to pull Chu Yi up.

Seven or eight-year-old big cow, can already work in the field like an adult, his fat little hand, stretched out in front of Chu Yi, Chu Yi borrowed his strength to get up, and then the big cow handed Chu Yi how to walk in the mud, the step is fast or slow, the center of gravity must be stable, do not stand in one place without moving, the best way to stay in place is to lift your feet from time to time, do not lift out the soil, as long as you ensure that your feet do not fall too deep into the mud, otherwise it will take a little effort to pull out.

Chu Yi was like a villager, he had worked in the fields for a day, to be honest, he was very tired, no less than a vicious battle, walking barefoot in the mud was a very physical task, not to mention squatting and standing up.

The past is vivid, and now he heard the big cow say that autumn is coming, this is the harvest season, and the sweat sprinkled in the fields in summer will be rewarded in autumn.

This place is much more delicate than the immortal cultivation world, I heard Da Niu say that he likes winter the most, because it will snow in winter, snow, Chu Yi has heard of it, but he has not seen it, it stands to reason that the Linglong Sect, which also belongs to the eastern range, should be able to snow, but it has not rained, and it looks very different from the outside world here.

Autumn is coming, the atmosphere in the village has changed, and the faces of the villagers are filled with happy smiles, which is the joy of the harvest.

Today, Chu Yi took the scimitar made by the blacksmith brother and followed the villagers to the field to harvest the fruits of autumn.

Different from the mud in summer, autumn is dry, and the field is filled with the aroma of ripe rice, Chu Yi held a scimitar and followed everyone to cut rice, because he had just started, so Chu Yi's speed was much slower than that of the villagers.

The harvested rice is piled up one by one so that it can be transferred to the yard of the family when the time comes.

"Brother Chu, is it the first time to work?" The villagers who had already surpassed Chu Yi asked, and in the village, regardless of men, women, and children, they all called Chu Yi Little Brother Chu, except for the blind old man, of course.

"Ah, I'll tell you the truth, it's the first time I've seen this plant. Chu Yi said with a smile.

"Then when the time comes, you have to taste it, this rice is fragrant. The villagers continued to work hard.

The entire harvesting process took three days, and Chu Yi was already very proficient the next day, and his speed could keep up with the children of the big cow.

"Brother Chu, how do you feel?" Da Niu asked with a snort.

"Tired~" Chu Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said softly, it is a monk in the end, and its physical fitness is much stronger than theirs, although it is also tired, but its breath is stable.

"Don't you eat rice outside?" Da Niu asked curiously, now Chu Yi's speed is about the same as theirs, and he has more time to speak.

"I've never seen it. Chu Yi said truthfully.

"And what do you eat?" the bull continued.

"Eat meat and some other plants. Chu Yi replied.

"Oh! hunting!" the big bull seemed to understand.

"Hunting?" Chu Yi asked.

"Yes, every winter when it snows, the people of the village will go to the mountains to hunt some wild beasts, for winter consumption, when the weather is cold, it is good to store, put the wild beasts in the snow, after taking them out, they are still very fresh, there is no rancid smell. "Maybe that's one of the reasons why big cows like winter.

"It's fun to call me when you're hunting. Chu Yi said this, he seemed to be very interested in these things that he had not done.

"It's funny, it's funny, but it's dangerous, and every year people get hurt because of it, and I tell you, there's a tiger god on the mountain, and it's very powerful. Da Niu whispered to Chu Yi.

"Tiger God?" Chu Yi said lightly.

"Yes, it's a big black tiger, it's amazing, but he never attacks people, so the people in the village call it the tiger god, and the village chief grandfather said that if it attacks people, we can't go hunting in the mountains. Da Niu said honestly.

Chu Yi was sure that what Da Niu was talking about was the thunder-patterned tiger, this thunder-patterned tiger had spiritual intelligence, but he didn't expect it to be quite kind.

"Then what kind of hunting do you all use?" Chu Yi asked curiously.

"The blacksmith is a great man with a bow and arrow, he is a warrior of the village. Da Niu said adoringly.

"Does Da Niu also want to become such a warrior?" Chu Yi asked softly.

"No, I want to be a gentleman like the teacher, and the teacher said that when he is old, he will no longer be able to teach, and I will grow up, and I will be responsible for teaching the children in the village at that time. "Big Bull is small, but it already has its own goals, and it is extremely determined.

Chu Yi nodded lightly, not speaking, in fact, he could see that Da Niu's qualifications were very good, and he was a good seedling of cultivation, but everyone has their own ambitions, Chu Yi is just a passerby here, and he will not change anything.

Three days later, the rice in the field was harvested, Chu Yi walked in the streets and alleys, and every household was beating the rice with a stick, the rice has a husk, and the rice grains in it can be taken out by breaking the husk.

When he walked to the front of Da Niu's courtyard, Da Niu's mother stopped Chu Yi.

"Brother Chu, taste this year's rice, it's fragrant. Saying that, Da Niu's mother took Chu Yi a package with some rice in it, Chu Yi was not polite, found a place where no one was there and put away the rice, then took out a wild boar leg and walked back.

"Big sister take it, this is the wild boar leg I hunted before. Chu Yi took the wild boar leg to Da Niu's mother, which was regarded as a courtesy, and Da Niu's mother accepted it with a smile, and then asked curiously, "Does Little Brother Chu also hunt?"

Chu Yi nodded, and then said, "I can only hunt some of this kind of weak aggression." ”

Then the two sides chatted briefly, and Chu Yi left, he was going to find the blind old man, because Chu Yi didn't know how to eat this rice.

Walking into the blind old man's yard, he found that he was looking up at the sky, but he didn't have eyes, how could he see? This made Chu Yi feel very strange, so the others asked before they could make a sound, "Blind old man, what are you doing?"

The blind old man turned his head when he heard the voice, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm homesick." ”

Chu Yi smiled, and he joked, "Is your home in the sky?"

The blind old man muttered for a few breaths, and then said, "My home is far away, as far as the horizon, and whenever I think of it, I look at the sky." ”

Chu Yi asked again: "Homesick, why don't you go back?"

The blind old man said lonely, "I can't go back, the road is broken." ”

Chu Yi didn't understand the blind old man's words, but he could tell that the blind old man didn't want to talk more about this topic, so Chu Yi said, "Look at what I brought? ”

"Oh, that's a good thing! The first time I ate it, I fell in love with it, especially the new rice, which had a strong aroma. The blind old man said with a bang.

"But how do you eat it?" Chu Yi asked softly.

"Heh, just leave it to me, isn't that what you're here for?" the blind old man had a look on his face that you don't think I don't know.

Chu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said, "There are still some wild boar meat here." ”

In this way, the two began to get busy, Chu Yi couldn't interfere in cooking, but he could fill the fire, the two of them performed their own duties, during the cooking, Chu Yi asked curiously, "What kind of grass is this rice?" I don't seem to have seen it outside. ”

"This rice is something unique here. The blind old man said.

"Oh?" Chu Yi said suspiciously.

"Speaking of which, the ancestors of the people here really have great wisdom, I have lived here for so many years, and I also know a little about the formation of this rice. ”

"This rice was bred by their ancestors, and it was made from the seeds of several plants, which were improved over several generations to form such edible rice. The blind old man explained to Chu Yi.

But what kind of seeds are used to breed it, even the old village chief doesn't know, it's too long.

The cooking of rice is very simple, you only need to add an appropriate amount of water to cook it, and after a while, the rice is not yet ripe, but the aroma has already wafted out, Chu Yi smelled it deeply, and began to move his index finger.

After the time of a few sticks of incense passed, the blind old man lifted the wooden lid of the pot, and the fragrance came to his face, Chu Yidu couldn't wait, the rice was white and crystal clear.

Chu Yi put out the rice, among which there were pieces of wild boar, the blind old man said that the steamed rice in this way was more fragrant, because the oil on the wild boar meat would add aroma to the rice, when a bucket of steamed rice was brought to the table by Chu Yi, he first served some for the blind old man, and then served some for himself.

"You're welcome, I'll move first. Chu Yi said so, and then he couldn't wait to pick up a ball of rice and put it in his mouth, there was no wild boar in this ball of rice, because Chu Yi wanted to taste the taste of rice.

This rice doesn't smell fragrant, but it tastes good, soft and delicate, and elastic, which sounds a bit contradictory, but it is true.

Then Chu Yi picked up a ball again, this time with wild boar, when this ball of rice with wild boar meat was chewed in Chu Yi's mouth, he even wanted to exhale, it was really delicious to explode, the aroma of wild boar meat was matched with the taste of rice, Chu Yi dared to say that this was the best thing he had ever eaten since he came here.

Sure enough, it's still a blind old man who can eat!

What Chu Yi ate was not only rice, but also the sweat of the villagers for a busy year, and the hope of autumn!
