【122】A stone slab in a pond

For several days, the cabbage came during the day and left at night, and Lai was happy in the courtyard of No. 36.

Mo Yan couldn't do anything about her, but he was looking forward to Qiu Wanqing returning to Wanling as soon as possible...... Fortunately, although Kale is a little naughty, it is never a boring girl. When he came to No. 36 Courtyard every day, he didn't pester Mo Yan all the time, and even sometimes helped Mo Yan clean up his room and clean up. When Mo Yan was with her, she chatted all over the world, and when Mo Yan was doing her homework in the bedroom, she quietly surfed the Internet and watched TV by herself.

After a few days of getting along, Mo Yan got to know more about this girl.

Kale is big on the surface and has a little ruffian, but deep down it is actually lonely and lonely, and there is always a sense of insecurity.

Her loneliness and loneliness should be related to the family environment, and her inner insecurity, which is also related to the family, can also come from other aspects.

Especially the catastrophe in Tamsui Villa a few days ago, for the girl, it deepened this deep insecurity.

Mo Yan can see that the reason why Kale likes to stay in the No. 36 courtyard is not because of how deep a good impression she has, but through several experiences, this girl has realized that at least by her side, she is safe.

Seeing this clearly, Mo Yan felt that this girl was actually quite pitiful...... When the cabbage came, Su Yu would sometimes come along, and every time she came, she would take the initiative to cook a hot lunch or dinner for the cabbage and Mo Yan.

After a few days, Mo Yan also got used to the figures of these two girls.

"Kale, bring me that shovel......"

Courtyard No. 36 is not only the front yard, in fact, the back yard is the main courtyard of this courtyard.

The entire backyard is about two hundred square meters, and the garden is overgrown with weeds, and it has not been cleaned up for a long time.

On the left side of the courtyard, there is even a pond dug by hand, which is not large, but it is living water. The water in the pond is drawn from the stream at the foot of the mountain by a bluestone ditch, and then flows out from under the courtyard wall through the ditch, forming an endless stream of living water.

On the first day Mo Yan moved in, he wanted to clean up this backyard, but he was just a tenant, and he might be evicted by the landlord at any time, so he pressed this thought.

And now, this courtyard has been bought by Zhou Xianyu, as long as Mo Yan doesn't want to leave, no one will open his mouth to pick him up.

"You stupid girl, it's a shovel, not a shovel, hurry up and change ......" Mo Yan rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the ditch by the pond, and said without raising his head.

Kale was not happy, and pouted: "I'm not your calling girl, saying a word will kill people?" ”

Mo Yan raised his head and said with a smile: "No problem, eldest miss, please bring me that small shovel......

Kale said proudly: "It's pretty much the same." ”

She brought the shovel, squatted beside Mo Yan, and proposed, "Let's raise fish in this pond......"

"Fish farming?" Mo Yan smiled: "It's a good idea, but please remember that you are at most a guest here, don't use the title 'we'." ”

Cabbage pouted and said, "I use it partially, you bite me?" ”

Mo Yan looked at the pond and said, "Okay, don't be stupid all the time, drive my car to the hardware store and help me buy two filters, if you want to raise fish, you have to seal the water inlet and outlet with a filter......

Seeing that his idea was adopted, Kale jumped up excitedly and said, "No problem, I'll go now." By the way, I stopped by the flower and bird market to buy some fish. ”

Mo Yan said: "This is a wild pond, I'm afraid I can't feed those delicate fish, if you really want to buy it, it's better to go to the aquatic market and buy some live fish back." It's better to be wild and not too ......"

After sending away the cabbage, Mo Yan straightened up and lit a cigarette.

Cleaning up this backyard is not only for the sake of the environment, but he also plans to plant some trees and build a wooden pavilion to make it a place for practice and homework.

Doing homework in the bedroom, a little stuffy, how can you feel comfortable in this open-air environment?

After smoking, Mo Yan continued to clean the ditch, and after the ditch was cleaned, he rolled up his trousers and began to clean up the aquatic plants and branches at the bottom of the pond with a bamboo basket...... "Hey, what is this?" ”

The bamboo basket was slowly dragged from the bottom of the pond, but it was blocked by a hard object.

Mo Yan didn't care at first, he flicked his hand, but didn't move. He knew that he must have encountered a hard stone buried in the silt at the bottom of the pond. In order to find out how big the stone really was, he turned on his ego to observe.

This look is an unexpected discovery!

As early as Mr. Liu had come to Courtyard 36, Mo Yan had conducted a thorough scan of the entire courtyard, including the pond in the backyard.

However, nothing was found at the time, and there was nothing worth investigating at the bottom of the pond except for rotting branches and leaves.

However, when he observed again at this time, Mo Yan was surprised to find that his original scan was somewhat careless.

At this time, in the silt of the pond, there was a craggy solid stone, which seemed inconspicuous, but at the bottom of it was inlaid with a stone slab of the same texture.

The slab is very strange, and the side that comes into contact with the silt seems to be uneven, but if you look closely, you will see that these uneven places are actually some kind of character engraved in Yin and Yang characters...... The so-called Yin and Yang are a kind of seal carving terms, Yang Wen is engraved, the strokes are convex from the plane, while Yin Wen is the opposite, the strokes are concave in the plane.

The characters on this slate cleverly mix yin and yang scripts together, and even some characters have the upper half of the yin script, but the lower half is yang, which produces a sense of concave and convex that can confuse the sight, making people mistakenly think that it is just an ordinary stone slab with a rough surface...... "No wonder I didn't find the strange ...... here last time" Seeing these characters, Mo Yan suddenly realized.

When these characters are engraved, they are deliberately combined with yin and yang characters, which is itself extremely deceptive. At the same time, the shape of these characters is also quite peculiar, twisted and twisted, there is no certain rule, at first glance, it looks more like an irregular pattern. Coupled with the fact that this stone slab has the same texture as the craggy stone, this was the first scan that Mo Yan was concealed.

Mo Yan ran his true qi, his qi penetrated the bamboo handle, and with a slight flick, he turned the craggy stone upside down.

He then hooked the stone with a bamboo rake and carefully hooked it up along the bottom of the pond.

"What the hell is this text?"

Mo Yan took out the slate, washed it with water, and tried to identify the pattern-like characters on the slate.

His brain has a huge amount of information stored in it, but he can't find the slightest clue related to this kind of character...... "Could this slate be what Mr. Liu is trying to do?" ”

Unable to recognize these characters, he turned his mind to Mr. Liu, and if this slate was what Mr. Liu was plotting for, he should have known where these characters came from.

Mo Yan is extremely curious about all ancient things, because the older things are, the closer they are to the era when ancient monks lived...... "It's a pity that that guy hasn't been here since he left, I knew this earlier, I just left a mark on him!" ”

Mo Yan shook his head, scrubbed the slate clean, wrapped it in paper, and planned to use it as a collection.

But after pondering for a while, he suddenly changed his mind, opened the paper bag, and threw the slate into the water again...... If he puts the slate in the bedroom or somewhere else, even if it is hidden, he is afraid that he will not be able to hide it from those old thieves who have accumulated years...... After doing all this, he continued to clean up the pond, while pondering that when the sword embryo sacrifice was completed, he would go to the library to find the origin of the slate characters in the pile of old papers.

After the pond was cleared, the cabbage also returned to the small courtyard.

"You still don't believe you if you say you're a stupid girl......"

Mo Yan looked at the various freshwater fish that cabbage bought, shook his head and said, "These crucian carp and grass carp can be raised, what are you buying this black fish for?" ”

Ka Lanqi said: "What's the matter, aren't they all fish?" ”

Mo Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Rabbits and wolves are still animals, can they be raised together?" This kind of black fish, also known as snakehead, is fierce by nature, has a huge appetite, and eats any fish, even its own juveniles. You put it in the pond, or in a few days, the other fish will be eaten by him! ”

Only then did the cabbage come to her senses, stuck out her tongue, and said, "How do I know, I haven't raised fish ......?"

Mo Yan picked out the two half-foot-long black fish, threw them on the grass casually, and said, "Yes, since you bought it, you can't waste it, let's eat black fish soup at noon." ”

Kale smiled and said, "I like to drink fish soup the most...... You wait, I'll call Sister Su Yu and ask her to come over and cook fish. ”

Mo Yan said: "Okay, don't always trouble people, I'll do this fish." ”

Kale was surprised: "You can still cook?" ”

Mo Yan smiled: "Do you think that everyone is like you, who is not divided into grains and is not diligent?" ”

Kale smiled and said: "You are so cunning, you can cook, but you never cook, and you always let Sister Su Yu cook ......"

Mo Yan said: "Stop talking nonsense, go, wash your hands." ”

Ka Lanqi said: "What are you doing? ”

"What?" Mo Yan snorted and said, "There is no free lunch in the world, if you want to drink black fish soup, hurry up and wash the rice and vegetables, and then give me a hand." ”

It's just a bowl of black fish soup, and if you really want to drink it, you can drink it with cabbage just a few steps to the morning tea house.

However, in the face of Mo Yan's instructions, she nodded busily, well-behaved like a maid...... Watching the girl jumping up and down to wash rice and vegetables, Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh softly.

In terms of taste, the soup he makes is definitely not as good as the craftsmanship in the restaurant, but in the soup he makes in his kitchen, there is a taste of 'home'.

And this is one of the reasons why Kale stays here and is willing to be a girl.

Mo Yan has left home since he was a child, and he has a personal experience of this desire hidden in his heart......
