Chapter 377: Chopping Firewood
The outside of the treehouse was quiet, as if everyone in the world didn't know that there was a treehouse on this tree, and it was quiet inside the treehouse, as if there was no world outside.
Su Yu and Ye Duhong were in the kitchen in the tree house, washing the vegetables they picked back with water and cutting them with a multi-functional knife. Then Su Yu wanted to sit outside and read a book at night, saying that he could cook by himself.
Ye Duhong was sitting outside. Su Yu put the pot on a stone inside, a flat stone that can heat the pot. Su Yu poured water into the pot that was heating.
Ye Duhong was reading a book outside, this was a spell book, and Ye Duhong was studying the spell content mentioned above. When he read the book and saw half a page, Ye Duhong couldn't stand it, because his mind came up with the scene when he was on the small mountain, when he was on the mountain with Su Yu, digging wild vegetables every day, eating a lot of wild vegetables, the living conditions at that time were not good, but there was still a quiet beauty at that time. Ye Duhong looked at the current wooden house again, thinking about the current castle, it is difficult to explain the feeling in his heart, he used to live a more turbulent life, and now he suddenly settled in the big manor, for a while, his heart can not be changed. He couldn't quite believe that this was the case, he did own a large estate, and it would take him a while to come to terms with that fact.
Su Yu finished the dishes, and Ye Duhong said: "Eat steamed buns at night, you first hold the dishes, and I'll take you to a place to get steamed buns." ”
Su Yu didn't understand what tricks Ye Duhong had to do, so he followed Ye Duhong out of the door of the wooden house. They came to a kitchen, which was large and a necessary place to provide food for the servants of the manor.
Su Yu saw that someone here was pulling the bellows. In the burning of firewood, Ye Duhong said on the side: "Handmade steamed buns, burned with firewood, delicious." ”
Su Yu looked at the servant who burned firewood, the servant picked up a bunch of firewood and grass, and poked the firewood and grass with the index finger and ring finger of his right hand, and there was a red light on his fingertips, and the red light ignited the firewood and grass. The fire is burning the pot, and there are steamed buns in the pot. Ye Duhong said that this kind of steamed bun is delicious.
Ye Duhong pushed Su Yu and said, "He lit a fire there." We chopped some wood for him. ”
Su Yu took the axe handed to her by Ye Duhong. Ye Duhong put an erected wooden stick on the ground, Su Yu raised the axe with both hands, and pressed it down, and the wooden stick was touched by the axe blade. Immediately split it in half. Su Yu chopped several wooden sticks in a row. There was a bundle of chopped wood.
The servant put the firewood chopped by Su Yu into the stove at the bottom of the pot and burned it. The blazing flames burned the bottom of the black pot, and the pot roared.
Su Yu said: "When people are hungry, their heads are full of food. I think of a lot of things I have eaten in the past, and if I have wasted them in the past, I feel that it is a pity and people want to eat them. However, when people are full, they no longer want food. Whether it's a matter of experience, you've said it, I've said it, and many other people have said it, and the reason why so many people say it is because it makes sense. It's a question worth pondering. When are we now? It's a time of hunger, so our minds are full of food. ”
Ye Duhong said: "When hunger comes, people will want to eat." Eat as much as you want. What are we doing here in the kitchen? Wait for the steamed buns. What are you going to do with steamed buns? ”
Su Yu said: "This big manor is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, just now I saw this servant who burned the fire, using a spell to ignite the firewood and grass, I was very surprised. ”
Ye Duhong said: "What's so surprising about this, the servants will have a lot of spells, they all learn the spells they want to learn according to their different preferences, the spells they learn are different, but they all yearn for the highest level of the spell, and they all go to that high realm." ”
Su Yu said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, people go forward, and they feel difficult, which means that people are walking uphill." No matter what they do in the big manor, they can persist in learning difficult spells, and their spirit is valuable. ”
The lid of the pot was lifted, the aroma of steamed buns wafted over, Ye Duhong took a few hot steamed buns, and went to the tree house in the woods with Su Yu. In the treehouse, they had dinner.
The open window could see the trees outside, the branches were delicate, the leaves were tender and green, and the evening breeze blew into the house, it was a good night.
Ye Duhong said: "In the kitchen, you are so skillful at chopping wood, you have never done anything like that, but you can do that kind of thing so well, amazing." ”
Su Yu said: "I have learned spells, and I have used spells to increase my strength. Have you ever chopped wood before?"
Ye Duhong said: "Of course there is. When I was very young, a servant at home brought firewood back, and I was very curious, and when I went to the back kitchen and saw sticks and axes, I wanted to chop firewood. But those servants did not want me to do it, saying that I was the master, and that I could do such menial work. But I just wanted to do it, but they couldn't resist me, and they had no choice but to let me chop wood there. I couldn't move, so I put the stick on the steps, and when the stick was empty, I stepped on it with my feet, and the thin stick was easy to break, and the thicker stick I kept stepping on. I chopped the thick sticks with an axe, and I chopped a lot of wood, and the servants could not burn the wood. ”
Su Yu said: "There are always some things that you were exposed to in your childhood, and you have never been exposed to since then. You want to be in the space you are in now, and you want to be in touch with things that you have been exposed to before. ”
Ye Duhong said: "That's the case, I took you to chop wood today, and it was almost out of this mentality." ”
"But chopping wood is quite interesting, things that I don't touch in my life, and then occasionally touch it once or twice, and it will feel very fresh. Su Yu said, "So chopping firewood will also be very interesting, not as some people think, to be a master, let others serve me, I am always the object of service, and I don't need to chop firewood and steam steamed buns, I can eat steamed buns, thinking that this is happiness, which is actually sad." When people chase something, the thing becomes boring, and people are bored. People can't be masters all at once, and they shouldn't be like that, in that case, people will feel bored. When people chase their dreams step by step, they will find many things interesting and will not feel bored. ”
Ye Duhong said: "I took you to chop wood today, do you feel interesting?"
"Interesting, of course interesting, I haven't felt that kind of environment yet, I used to live in an environment where I didn't need to chop wood, and I also chopped wood, and felt the joy of chopping wood. Su Yu said.
Ye Duhong said, "Let's finish this cup of tea and then go outside." ”
On the forest path outside the tree house, Ye Duhong said: "When I was chopping wood in the back kitchen, I heard a woman complaining, and the woman complained like this: This night home, it is true, eating a meal, it is very strange, every day the meal can not be the same, every meal is not the same, every day is not the same meal, every day to cook the same meal, every day to serve this family, every day to cook firewood, I have to chop, so many people, where can I serve over." I listened to this woman's complaint at the time, and I didn't understand it very well, but now I understand that it is the dissatisfaction of people living at the bottom with certain things, and that kind of dissatisfaction, complaining, and venting are normal. ”
Su Yu said: "But the people who chop wood and the people who burn the fire in your big manor, they don't complain, they look very peaceful when they do their work." ”
Ye Duhong said: "Yes, they never complain, they are all people with good qualities and people who can take responsibility." Of course, I don't have to have someone to chop firewood in my big manor, there are all kinds of melons and fruits in the manor, which can be eaten all year round, and those people chop firewood for the purpose of cultivating spells. Practicing spells is sometimes very boring, and you need to practice in a difficult environment, and if you are busy and drinking every day, then spells are difficult to practice. ”
When they walk in the forest, they speak very clearly, because the forest is very quiet, and it is very quiet here, as if a needle has fallen on the ground, and they can hear it clearly.
Su Yu said: "It's quiet in the forest, let's go and sit on the stones over there." ”
Ye Duhong followed Su Yu to the stone over there, and they sat down.
Su Yu said: "I came to this big manor and brought it with me these days, but I don't know much about the situation in the big manor, I don't know what those servants do every day?"
Ye Duhong said: "There are many things in the manor, you can hone spells, just take the person who burns the fire in the back kitchen, he can use spells to ignite firewood and grass, in the process of igniting firewood and grass, spells are used, and more spells are used, and the purpose of exercising spells is achieved." ”
Su Yu said: "How they came to practice spells, I don't know. I've only seen the man light the wood with his fingers, and I'd like to see tomorrow how the servants of this great manor practice their spells. ”
Ye Duhong said: "This is easy, tomorrow we will meet at the square, and I will take you to see the wonderful work of the servants every day." ”
Su Yu said, "Okay, I'll take a look at you tomorrow." You will sit here with me tonight. ”
Ye Duhong said: "I feel very happy to sit here with you, looking at the quiet woods and feeling the moonlight. I think that people's hearts should be as close to nature as they are now, and they should be happy in nature and live a quiet life, instead of being in the chaos of the market, which is very bad. ”
Su Yu said: "In this quiet night, there is moonlight, and in the moonlight, you can do a lot of things, you can talk, you can drink tea, you can guess what the blurred objects in the distance are, you can be in a daze, you can talk to your heart, you can do what you want to do." ”
Ye Duhong said: "My understanding is the same as yours, I also like this night and such a month, in this wonderful world, my heart has forgotten a qiē trouble, I am very happy to be able to sit in this place with you." Tomorrow, you go to the square early, well, at eight o'clock, we will meet, and we will go together to see the wonderful work of the servants, and we will see you there. ”
Su Yu said: "That's it for tonight, see you tomorrow." (To be continued......)
