After sending the Shao'an brothers and sisters away in the afternoon, Wang Manyin took Rhubarb to the platform again. Shortly after leaving the village, he dodged into the space.

Every time he appeared inside, he felt like he was in a paradise. The lush greenery in front of me made my mood much lighter.

At the same time, there is an indescribable pride.

When I first got the space, there was only a bare yellow earth with no vegetation except for a pool of spring water.

After half a year of hard work by Wang Manyin, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

All kinds of plants grow vigorously, wheat, rice, peanuts, soybeans, ...... Almost all the crops that can be collected from the outside world are planted inside.

The space area has not expanded too much, and it is still about five acres. How much exactly, has not been accurately measured.

But for Wang Manyin, it is enough.

No matter how much you can't keep yourself busy, it's a pure waste.

Especially after harvesting two crops, there are now hundreds of catties of various grains.

With food in his hands, he is not panicked, which is also the reason why Wang Manyin can sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

And the fish in the pond...... Standing beside the reeds, looking at the constantly moving fish heads, he was happy and depressed every time.

The main thing is that this thing grows and reproduces too fast, and some of the carp left over from years ago have grown to more than ten catties at most. There are also many crucian carp individuals who have reached half a catty.

Wang Manyin successively released hundreds of catties of fish into the Dongla River, but there was still no sign of reduction.

Especially the small fry, one stubble after another.

Recently, he has begun to try to feed the local chickens with fish fry in a net. There are even plans to introduce some waterfowl into the space to control it in the next step.

Wang Manyin initially planned to go to Mijia Town to sell fish, but after careful consideration, he canceled his plan.

Now that I am not short of money and food, there is really no need to take risks.

Thinking about it, the only way is to make air-dried fish, keep it in the space for the time being, and then look at the situation.

From the year to the present, Wang Manyin's family has not made any big money, but the small money has not been broken.

The sales commission and eggs sold at the consignment point alone can have seventeen or eighteen yuan per month. If it weren't for a chicken plague, the income would be higher.

In addition, in the past month or so, Wang Manyin has been digging licorice from the space, and he has also sold thirty or forty yuan.

In addition to licorice, the last time Wang Manyin went into the mountains to collect firewood, he also dug a lot of Yuanzhi rhizomes and planted them.

This thing is also a kind of herb, and the purchase price is more expensive than licorice, and there is almost more than one piece of dry goods per catty. However, there are relatively few Yuanzhi on the Loess Plateau, and the supply and marketing cooperatives only accept the root skin. Sometimes it's a busy day in the mountains, and the rhizomes of Yuanzhi dug up may not be able to dry a pound.

But for Wang Manyin, it's nothing at all.

If you have space, you can grow a large area like licorice.

A hundred catties of dry goods are hundreds of yuan, and the speed of money is not much slower than that of fish farming. The key is safety, which can be sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives in an open and honest manner.

According to the speed of space plants, in more than half a year, Yuanzhi should be able to dig.

There is another common herb on the Loess Plateau, Bupleurum, which Wang Manyin also planted a lot. Next, he plans to open up another area in the space dedicated to breeding scorpions. ….

The temperature in the space does not change much, which is very suitable for scorpion growth. Supply and marketing cooperatives also have acquisitions, one for two cents. More importantly, this thing eats locusts.

According to later generations, a single scorpion can eat tens of thousands of locusts in a year.

So it's very easy to raise, just plant a random piece of sweet potato, and then you don't have to worry about it.

The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the overflow of scorpions in the space...... However, this problem is very easy to solve, and Wang Xingxing has already thought of a solution.

Just dig a circular ditch around the scorpion pond and fill it with water. Scorpions can't swim and can only live on isolated islands, which are easier to catch when the time comes.

Patrolling around the space, seeing that everything was as usual, Wang Manyin walked to Sweet again

In the melon field. I ate two large bowls of dumplings at noon, and now I'm a little thirsty.

A fragrant big melon entered his stomach, and he suddenly felt much more comfortable.

It's just that Wang Manyin has some regrets, and he can't share it with Orchid for the time being. It can only be said after a while, when the melons planted in the self-reserved land are ripe.

***

When he went to work in the morning, Wang Manyin worked with Wang Yanqiang as usual.

As soon as he did it for a while, he found that the other party was sluggish and didn't seem to have slept well last night.

"Uncle Yanqiang, what's wrong with you, yawning...... Tossed by my aunt?"

"The cowardly, don't mention it, it's not the cave that the female intellectuals are making trouble...... I and Secretary Zhao took a few people to keep watch all night, and we didn't figure out what was mischievous."

"Still moving?!" Wang Manyin couldn't help but ask.

When he heard Liu Xiangyang and others talk about it yesterday, he thought it was a rat burrowing.

Now it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined.

"Well, it's a bit of an evil sect, and last night the educated youths arranged to spend the night at other people's houses. We kept watch inside, and at first nothing happened, but in the early hours of the morning, the wind suddenly blew in the courtyard. There was a lot of people in the cave like someone was pushing a mill, and someone was coughing...... A person as determined as Director Zhao is a little hairy in the end."

"You didn't see if there were rats, or if the cats were burrowing."

"You think we're stupid, we've searched the entire cliff up and down, and even the male intellectuals dormitory next door have been checked, and there are no holes......

Hearing what the other party said so mysteriously, Wang Manyin became more and more curious: "Are you still guarding tonight?"

"Of course, you have to keep it, now all the rumors in the village have come out. I want to see if Wang Haotou is really playing tricks! A group of big living people can still scare the dead!"

For this kind of godly chatter, Wang Yanqiang was skeptical. However, he was not afraid of the person who had been on the battlefield in the end, and decided to continue to lead people to squat tonight and strive to get out of the way.

"I'll go with you tonight." Wang Manyin's curiosity was completely aroused, and he was going to go to the village after dinner.

As a result, before waiting for the evening, when work was about to end at noon, a female intellectual-young man hurriedly ran to the construction site to report, saying that Shen Jinqin had just been frightened and was talking nonsense.

"What's the matter, didn't you let you go to other members' houses for a while, why do you have to go back to the cave?" Wang Yanqiang asked puzzled.

"Shen Jinqin remembered that there were still more than a dozen yuan in the box, and wanted to take it away during the day. As soon as she walked into the cave, she heard a strange noise......"....

"Let's go, don't do it, let's go and take a look." Wang Yanqiang said hello to Wang Lianshun and rushed to the village with Wang Manyin.

After hearing the news, several intellectuals also followed.

When they arrived at the brigade, they found that the courtyard was in a mess.

Shen Jinqin was sitting on a bench, her face full of panic, and she was accompanied by several mothers-in-law.

On the other hand, Wang Mancang's mother-in-law Liao eldest daughter is half-squatting in the open space, placing this porcelain bowl in front of her, with three chopsticks in the bowl, and a standing chopsticks ceremony is being held.

Standing chopsticks, also known as standing chopsticks, is an ancient and traditional way of "curing diseases" in Jar Village.

In this era, when there is a shortage of medical treatment, many families in rural areas will not send children or elderly people to the hospital as soon as they are sick, but will find an elderly person to "treat" the disease by means of a standing chopstick.

This method is very simple, fill half a bowl of water, stand three chopsticks in it, and the old man recites words next to him.

If you feel that you are being tricked by something, you will call the other person's name, and all kinds of wishes and intimidation will be put into battle. To be obedient is to send rice and noodles, and to be disobedient is to be an iron slag, and the peach wood nails are waiting......

During the whole process, you also need to keep pouring water on the chopsticks to increase their stickiness, until the three chopsticks stand upright at the bottom of the bowl, which means that you have succeeded.

In addition, there are also called mixing, collecting mixing, and even serving children's urine......

For the scene in front of him, Wang Manyin didn't know how to describe it.

He turned his head to look at the crowd, but did not see the figure of Secretary Zhao. It's weird, to

Chang this person usually stays in the brigade headquarters to work, but he is not here today.

As for the educated youths behind them, they are also a little at a loss. I don't know whether to oppose it or oppose it.

"It's coming, it's coming, let's go!!" At this time, Wang Fugui's mother-in-law also hurriedly ran to the courtyard with a big bowl.

The bowl is yellowed and foamed on top.

"Come, woman, drink it," the other party brought the bowl to Shen Jinqin.

"Brother Wang, what is this? Why does it look like beer?" Liu Xiangyang asked curiously.

"Boy pee......" Wang Manyin replied with patience. According to the memory of the predecessor, Tongziurine is also regarded by many people as a cure-all for all diseases.

"What?" Several educated youths were completely dumbfounded.

"Come on, woman, drink it while it's hot. I found a few broken babies to save so much, and the broken babies of Junxiang's family ran away after yelling that they didn't pee......

"Whew...... I won't drink it, so take it away." Shen Jinqin shook his head again and again, saying that he refused to drink.

"Alright, auntie, don't be busy, wait and see. Let's go into the cave and see, what the hell is going on?" Wang Manyin hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

If you keep making trouble, you might get into some trouble. The best solution, of course, is to find out what the problem is.

Not to mention, when I walked into the cave where the female intellectuals lived, I really heard movement. It's like a person whose throat is gagged and makes a rustling coughing sound.

Nima, in broad daylight, made Wang Manyin also feel creepy. After searching the cave, no abnormalities were found, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of the thick loess layer.

Then he climbed up to his head to check it out. The so-called brain side is the roof of the cave. There were many wet footprints on it, obviously left by Wang Yanqiang and them before.

After checking, I didn't find any problems either.

Wang Manyin finally confirmed that the voice did indeed come from the cave.

As for the weird or anything, he didn't believe it from beginning to end, preferring to the sound of some kind of object resonance. As long as you confirm the setting, everything can be revealed.

There were many people in the cave, so Wang Manyin simply asked everyone else to exit the cave and listened carefully inside.

A few minutes later, he really heard the roll call. As Wang Manyin's ears continued to approach the kiln wall, it was finally determined that the abnormal sound came from the direction of the flue.
