Chapter 197: Dongsheng Grows Buckwheat

Li Hong: "Actually, it's not......"

So, Li Hong cultivated Long Yi into an incarnation and picked up the fragments of the Eight Dragons Altar; recruiting troops in the human world, organizing teams to seize power;

Due to the use of the wrong person, the army failed, and was placed by the Dragon King of the East China Sea to live on the Divine Planet to recuperate, as well as the experience on the Divine Planet, and the matter of being escorted back to the tomb by them, briefly and concisely. It's just that he hid himself as a blood man and an ancestor surnamed Li in the village.

Li Hong: "Speaking of which, let me ask you one more thing: Do you know "The Legend of Zeng Erba Stick"? ”

Scud: "I know, Zeng Erba stick is a person from Taertou Village, Tanglin Town, where we are, and it is only a dozen miles away from our village." This person is lazy and lazy, does not do his job, and a veteran paper-cutting soldier and paper horse, and rebelled.

As a result, his wife found out and released him in advance, and the paper soldiers and paper horses lined up to go on the expedition by themselves. When I walked to Hengtou Village, I was 'horizontal', and when I walked to Yingtou, I was 'welcomed'.

"When I walked to Puzhuang, because we said 'Pu' here as 'splashing' and 'bubble', I was shocked by the name of the village, and it rained heavily last day, and all the paper soldiers and paper horses were washed into the well in the northwest corner of Puzhuang Village."

Li Hong: "This is just a folk saying, in fact, that is the army of Long Yi's organization, and that old way is a snake demon that Long Yi mistakenly used, and the defeat of the army is all because of them."

"Moreover, that old Taoist is also an illegitimate son of the snake king on the planet of God. I don't know if the snake king has a grudge with the dragon clan because of this, anyway, there is a fight between the two of them. ”

Scud: "So this legend has such a big background?" We just think it's a whimsical story that Zeng Erba stick is delicious and lazy! ”

Li Hong: "What the common people see is only a superficial phenomenon. Long Yi's cultivation of the incarnation is only known to him, and ordinary people naturally can't get in touch with each other. ”

Scud: "So, our imperial feng shui here is still expected to be restored?" ”

Li Hong: "Yes! Bury the Eight Dragons Altar on the sand and soil again, and then try to break Liu Bowen's winning method, won't feng shui be repaired? !

"That's why we came here from Tianzhu Kingdom. We have now walked a third of the way, because the weather is freezing and the mountains are unable to walk, so we have used this time to collect folklore, because it will help us in our trip.

"I don't want to meet the snake princess on the planet of God here, she colluded with the snake demon and some demons and monsters in the world, we can't defeat her, and I want to ask the local people to help. No, I'm looking for you! ”

Scud: "What you have done is also a big thing that will benefit the Thornjin Prefecture for thousands of generations, and as the people of the Thornjin Prefecture, you should go all out to help." Okay, I brought in people with special abilities in Thornjin Prefecture and killed the snake princess together. ”

Li Hong: "Okay! With your words, we are relieved. Where are they, how about we go to visit together? ”

Scud looked at the sky, it was already three poles old, and said to Li Hong: "You haven't had breakfast yet, my family has corn porridge, I'll go to the street to buy some flatbread and fruit, and everyone can eat some to warm up their bodies." ”

Li Hong thought that when he got home, he should do his best to entertain and entertain the rich man Li with the friendship of the landlord. He said, "I really haven't eaten breakfast, I'm a little hungry." Said to Qi Xiaoting: "Let's make breakfast here!" ”

Then he said to the Scud, "You don't need to buy it outside, we have food with us, just use your stove." ”

Scud scratched his scalp embarrassedly: "I won't tell you anything, I have a lot of food, I empty my house, and I only made half a seven-seal pot of corn porridge in the morning." If you want to do it, make some dry food. ”

Li Hong: "No problem, let's drink corn porridge with dry food, and then get two small vegetables, which is a good farm meal." ”

So, Qi Xiaoting avoided everyone and took out some rice, noodles and vegetables from the space, Li Hong and noodles pancakes, Scud took firewood to light the fire, Li Caizhu and Scud's mother chose vegetables and washed vegetables, and everyone was busy.

Qi Xiaoting saw that their mother and son were living in poverty, there was not even a brazier in the house in the cold weather, and the clothes and bedding were very old and thin. Looking at the grain hoards and grain tanks again, they are almost at the bottom. If she didn't bring out the rice and noodles, the scud would really be worried about this meal.

At this time, he took out a piece of soil the size of a bean from the space and planted wheat in the vegetable garden on the west side of the courtyard. When the rice was cooked, she also harvested half a basket of golden wheat.

Scud's mother was overjoyed, and only said that she had met a fairy. Qi Xiaoting said with a smile: "Grandma, we are not immortals, this soil is the divine soil given by the fairy Dayu, and it can be planted one by one."

"It's just that the stubble lasts longer than the stubble, and in the end, the divine power is exhausted, and it becomes ordinary soil. Now the weather is still cold, after planting two stubbles, let it sit idle, and wait for the spring flowers to bloom, you can plant whatever you want on it, without seasonal restrictions. ”

As he spoke, he sowed another crop of wheat: "This time it will take longer than the last time, and when it is ripe and harvested, we will go again." ”

Suddenly remembered that when Bian Xiangu gave her a jade basket, she once said that she wanted to take a trip to her hometown of Jianjin Prefecture to help the old folks there. It's a pity that she hasn't succeeded, and she has asked herself to fulfill this wish for her.

Now that I have come to the land of Jianjin Prefecture, although it is not the kind that has completed the task, the people here are real people, and their lives are not even able to provide food and clothing, isn't it exactly what needs care and help?

Qi Xiaoting thought so, avoided everyone again, took out some scattered silver from the space, a piece of black market cloth one zhang long, and gave it to Scud's mother. Say to her:

"When we're gone, you'll measure the cloth with a ruler. As long as you measure it up, don't stop, and the cloth will continue to stretch. When your hands are tired and you don't plan to ask for it, stop again. The measured cloth is all yours. ”

The old lady saw Qi Xiaoting planting wheat with her own eyes, and she believed in this, and happily put the cloth aside.

The book implied: After Qi Xiaoting and the others left, the old lady really measured the cloth, but she couldn't measure it. It wasn't until her hands were tired and the cloth was piled up half of the room that the old lady stopped.

With silver, wheat, and cloth, the life of the mother and son was better, but that is for later.

During the meal, Scud mentioned a man and said, "This man is a man of all abilities, who defeated the monster with his bare hands and rescued a beautiful girl." His story spread in the village of Chengnan.

"It's a pity that the buckwheat girl he rescued is still in a coma, and I can't guarantee that you can still help him. It's just that there is a snake princess waiting to be destroyed, and it's far away from here, so I don't know if it's too late? ”

Qi Xiaoting: "It's too late." The Serpent Princess has fled without a trace, and we inquire about her as we go. The more people united, the easier it will be to eliminate her.

"The Eight Dragons Altar has to walk 60,000 or 70,000 miles on foot to reach it. We just took advantage of the winter leisure time to desert here to collect some folklore. Anyone who has magical powers is among those who are gathered.

"What's more, along the way, we also have the duty of eliminating violence and assisting the weak. Wouldn't it be better for a person like this who has special abilities and is in a difficult situation, and we solve his difficulties and let him do things for us without concern and willingly, than to ask people to help for no reason.

"You tell us his story first, we have a general understanding of this person, and it is more convenient to meet and talk."

Although Dongsheng is not an immortal, he is a person with a story, and it has been spread among the people, and it is also in Qi Xiaoting's collection. Just like "The Legend of the Bend of the Lulu River", there are no immortals in Jianjin Prefecture in it, and it can stretch out even if it is not black soil!

Qi Xiaoting not only has to look for talented people, but also collects folk tales. As soon as I heard that it was rumored, there was no reason to miss it!

Scud: "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know about Dongsheng." ”

So, Scud told the story of Dongjin Zhuang Dongsheng:

Dongjinzhuang is located at the southern end of Jianjin Prefecture and on the west bank of the Qingliang River. The village is not large, with only about a dozen families. Because it is not far from the Qingliang River, the land is mostly sandy loam, the fertility is poor, and the people's lives are very poor.

Dongsheng's family lived even poorer: his father and mother fought hard, and only reclaimed a few acres of barren sand land on the bank of the Qingliang River.

The barren sand depends on the sky for food, and if the wind and rain are smooth, there can be a little harvest; If the Qingliang River rises and the river flows out along the small ditch, the land will be flooded. When the wind blew, the sand covered the ground, and all the crops were buried in the sand.

That's not all, when Dongdong grew up to be seventeen years old, his parents left the world again, leaving him alone and living alone.

Don't look at Dongsheng's young age and helplessness, but he is a strong young man. After burying his parents, he set out to tidy up the wasteland.

When the neighbors saw this, they said distressedly, "Dongsheng, don't waste your efforts. When you encounter the Qingliang River, the water will be waterlogged, and the wind will be buried. It is better to carry the work for the rich man, so that he can have three meals to eat. ”

Dongsheng said: "Carrying work for people can only starve to death, and it will never be better." I will sow my own land and feed myself. Wait and see! ”

After the big words were spoken, he worked even harder. Every day, I went down to the ground with the stars in the morning and went home in the moonlight at night.

Dongsheng shoveled out the sand and soil from the wasteland, cut the grass roots, and built a high stone mound, near the river, so as to keep the water out of the mounds when the water rises.

The ground was tidied up, and spring and summer passed. Dongsheng thought: It's too late to plant millet and sorghum, and you can't eat vegetables as food.

It is said that the first radish and the second vegetable are planted, and the third is used to grow buckwheat. Buckwheat has a short growth period, does not require a lot of water and fertilizer, and can grow in poor soil, which is not suitable for this sandy land.

Then plant some buckwheat, which is a food crop even though the yield is low.

So, Dongsheng sowed buckwheat in the ground.
