Chapter 3: Earthworms (Ask for Comments!) )
After reading the scriptures, I fell asleep before I knew it.
When he woke up, Chen Yu stretched his waist and drew an end to today's lunch break.
I went to the kitchen and scooped a scoop of cold well water from the water tank, filled the water bladder, and tied it around my waist.
Looking up at the sky, I felt that the sun on the top was a little too bright, so I had to wear a hat to cover it slightly, so as not to fall to the ground due to heat stroke for a while.
"I don't want to work."
He muttered, but he still carried the soil pocket, walked all the way out of the Taoist temple, and walked towards the soil field.
The workload in the afternoon is actually not large, and it is estimated that it will be sunny in the next few days.
But Chen Yu has a plan, since he has decided how much he wants to do today, it will be difficult for him to let go even if he doesn't finish it. Just leave early, even if you have to finish the work in your hand even under the scorching sun.
And most importantly – don't delay tomorrow's wild fishing, it's a big deal.
Before going out, he naturally didn't forget the bamboo tube stuffed with earthworms on the side of the pillar, and took it with him, and he had to dig the soil and dig the ditch for a while, maybe he could add a few more brothers and sisters to the little ones inside.
At this time, there will be more than that, and there may be several more tomorrow.
Chen Yu thought about his luck tomorrow.
Temples? It's okay to close it for a day.
Anyway, this place is remote, and it is rare to see a good man come to the door once in ten days and a half months.
Morning gifts?
He is a false Taoist priest with half a bucket of water, so he doesn't need to follow those rules and regulations.
Consecrate?
It's a big deal, just order two more before you leave tomorrow morning.
Presumably, Tianzun and his old man won't mind.
In front of the courtyard, two rows of peach trees stand upright.
Chen Yu, who was passing by, looked up and down, and saw that the buds had begun to sprout on it, and he had changed into new green leaves, and he looked very pleasing to look at the green.
Speaking of these peach trees, there is really a story. The peach tree was originally planted by the first generation of the master, but later the cloud crane view was renovated and changed several times, and the old tree died for decades.
That is to say, in the Cloud Crane Temple, there is such an unwritten rule, that is, the new temple mainly plants a few trees in front of the Taoist temple - it is estimated that the ancestor who set this tacit understanding thought that one day the Qingtai Mountain Cloud Crane Temple can also be a forest of branches and leaves, green shade like a wild.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, not only the tree species left by the previous generations have been wiped out, but the old master and the few trees planted by the predecessor have also almost died on the spot, if it is not for Chen Yu to come in time, it is estimated that there will only be a decadence and silence left in front of this gate.
Because he thought that he could eat peach fruit in the summer, and in addition, he wanted to find something to do for himself, so in the first period after he woke up, in addition to cooking and cooking vegetables, he was to get up early every day and think about how to save the peach tree.
Maybe it was providence, but in the end he didn't know how to do it, anyway, the peach tree survived in a daze.
It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to shade and eat peaches.
……
Boom!
The dirt pocket was thrown aside, and the iron hoe on the side was picked up and carried on his shoulder, and Chen Yu simply did not change his clothes in order to work.
I have been wearing this 'work clothes', and I am not afraid of getting wet and dirty.
Hey! Three or two steps to the expected position to stand still, gestured, and then a hoe dug down.
With a muffled sound, the mud tumbled out of the ground, shattered and pushed to the side.
Gradually, a shallow dirt ditch appeared under his feet, and the sides of the sides were covered with dirt.
He threw off his arms and hooked the handle of the dirt pocket not far away with his hoe, pulled it forward, and then stepped on the front end, compacted it and pressed it against the bottom of the tail end.
With a constant movement of his hands, the iron hoe was inserted into the mound, and most of the dirt was easily put into his pocket with a hook and a bundle.
And so on, the two dirt pockets were full.
Wiping his sweat, Chen Yu picked up the soil pocket and dumped it in a distant corner.
After returning, he continued to dig with his hoe.
Time passed, and it was evening in the blink of an eye. At this time, Chen Yu had already put down the iron hoe and had just picked up the last load of soil and dumped it.
"Call it a day!"
Patting off the mud, he smiled as he looked at the ditch in front of him that surrounded the field. Finally finished, the next step is to turn the soil and sow seeds, but there is no hurry, both of which will not start until after the 'Pingyu'.
And before that, he can rest for a while.
However, when Chen Yu picked up the bamboo tube that was about to be stuffed with earthworms, he remembered that he still had something to do.
"I almost forgot about it."
Muttering, he picked up his dirt pocket and hoe and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Returning to the courtyard, two buckets of water were fetched to wash the sticky body briefly, and Chen Yu, who was much refreshed, changed into a blue and black robe, tied his hair into a ball, and fixed it on the top with a bamboo flute.
In my memory, Yunheguan has been passed down from generation to generation in addition to the five volumes of Taoist treasures and the Taoist robe that he is wearing now, there is also a transparent jade flute.
It's a pity that it was lost in a certain downhill training of the old Taoist priest a few years ago, and there were two senior brothers and one junior brother of the predecessor who disappeared at that time.
It was at this point that the Cloud Crane Temple was completely defeated.
Before that, although it was also not famous, there were still a lot of incense in dozens of villages, towns and even Shiya County under the mountain, and the pilgrims who came and went were not rare.
It's like now, there is no one in January.
Fortunately, Chen Yu doesn't mind, and he doesn't have that obsession, without the hosta, there is no bamboo hairpin.
If you have to deal with the incense good people who may come up to the mountain one day, this short and short hair has already been shaved by him, how can there be so many things.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Chen Yu smacked his mouth, to be honest, he really wanted to shave his head and wear a Taoist robe, sit under the solemn Taoist statue with a whisk, and say the Taoist scriptures and sing the name to the pilgrims.
Shaking his head to disperse these unobtrusive thoughts, he picked up the bamboo tube in his hand, and then took a plate from the kitchen, and then turned the bamboo tube upside down, and after shaking it a few times, he saw a red fat earthworm falling on the plate.
Tighten the lid and place it in place.
Chen Yu's gaze fell back on this earthworm.
After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his finger and gently pressed it against the surface of the other party's body that was vaguely stained with dirt.
The earthworm is still writhing and climbing, and is a little photophobic.
But at this moment, Chen Yu didn't care at all, he closed his eyes, his spirit sank into the depths of his consciousness, and after a short period of confusion, a ray of white like sky shone out.
Like rain and fog, the silver light lingers endlessly.
The outside world is not visible at all, but there are monstrous waves in that chaotic and misty ocean of consciousness.
The waves were rough and the mist was rising.
Countless illusory lights flew out of the sea, most of them dissipated suddenly, and only a few were captured by an inexplicable force and gathered in a corner.
Coagulation, solidification.
Turned into a grain of light, hanging quietly.
At this moment, Chen Yu pried that place and wrapped one of the grains in front of him.
As soon as the thought moved, it was pushed from the fingertips to the earthworm along the consciousness.
After a long time, Chen Yu finally opened his eyes.
Whew, he spit out a long breath, he withdrew his fingers and pinched and rubbed back and forth, only to feel that his phalanges were a little numb, as if he had been frozen in ice water for three or five moments in the cold winter of Lajiu.
After rubbing it twice, he turned his gaze to the earthworm on the disc—although it was red, he could vaguely see that the link was a little dull and dull, but now it had changed its appearance, red like a flame, without the slightest variegation. The body is round, and the smell of dirt is gone. The ring-shaped white belt that originally hung on the body is gone, and the whole body looks more like a work of art carved from red jade than the original long bed bug.
The changes are not small.
Of course, he already knew that the real change had just begun, and even if he didn't invest much this time, it would not be something that could be digested in a moment or a half for the earthworm in front of him.
But no matter how much it changes, it is still just an earthworm, and it can't become a dragon.
Chen Yu put it away and planned to look at it again tomorrow, but if he was really not satisfied, he would feed the fish.
Presumably, this big red and strong earthworm will definitely attract many big fish.
That way, at least tomorrow's bait will be fine.
