Chapter 4 Everything is Contested

"Uh-ha-"

Yawning and stretching, Li Heng woke up from the old elm bed in his hometown, which had at least decades of working experience.

A dreamless night, quiet and fulfilling, Li Heng couldn't imagine that he could still have this quality of sleep, but the imaginary bed selection adaptation did not appear at all.

Maybe home is home, even if you haven't returned for many years, that familiarity and sense of security is still there.

Glancing at his phone, it was only half past seven, and he hadn't even arrived at eight o'clock, and he thought that he would have to stay in bed at least a morning on this kind of day when he didn't go to work.

But he is full of energy at the moment, and he can't stay in the bed, and it seems that he went to bed early and woke up early.

The best rest period for the human body is linked to the biological cycle, not to sleep for seven or eight hours, and the effect of sleeping at ten o'clock is completely different from that of sleeping in the early morning.

"It is estimated that it is related to the work cycle of the brain and internal organs, and I have to pick up human biology and learn it again......

After opening this panel of [Turning Everything into Holiness], Li Heng couldn't help but have the motivation to delve into the mysteries of the human body.

Turning over and getting out of bed, Li Heng's top priority is - dry rice!

He didn't prepare breakfast for himself, so when he got up, he went to the village to buy some breakfast.

In the past, there was no place to sell breakfast in the village, and every household cooked breakfast in this kind of rural village.

Spending money on breakfast is a luxury.

However, in recent years, the township has developed, and these remote villages have also benefited more or less, plus the cement road in the town has been repaired and passed through the village entrance, although it does not go directly into the village, but it still drives some people flow, so the village entrance also has a small shop and breakfast business.

Two vegetarian buns, two meat buns, plus a small piece of glutinous rice glutinous rice dumplings, porridge and soy milk were not wanted, Li Heng boiled boiling water to drink.

After paying for breakfast with a certain treasure, Li Heng couldn't help but sigh that even in such a remote mountain village, the villagers who had never even gone to school now know how to pay electronically.

"In the future, I will have to cook my own food, but the nearest market is also two or three miles away."

There are too many rhythms of ordering takeout or dine-in at fast food restaurants in the city, and this kind of day when you have to cook three meals a day is a bit unaccustomed.

Maybe this is an alternative return to basics.

Industrialization and urbanization bring convenience, efficiency and civilization, but it will also bring human beings into this step-by-step assembly line life, and the countryside is a more primitive and slow pace, but everything has to be done by hand and it is also mentally draining.

Life is made up of choices, which in turn lead to different lives.

After breakfast, it was just over eight o'clock, and the clouds shining on the early sun in the east were red, and the sunrise was full of color, and Li Heng hadn't enjoyed the sunrise for a long time.

Obviously, it is the same sun everywhere, but at the moment it seems to be a different scenery.

"Keep cleaning!"

Li Heng was quite energetic at the moment, and did not take out his mobile phone to look at the work group, OA software process and various APP push information after eating as he usually did on vacation, but continued to work unfinished yesterday.

On the one hand, he only took care of the main house and bedroom yesterday so that he could live in it, and other things such as the kitchen, courtyard, and side house were not cleaned, and he would definitely have to take care of it well if he lived here for a long time in the future.

The second is that yesterday's cleaning in the afternoon made his physical value increase a little, which made him taste the sweetness, and today he still wants to continue to increase his points through labor.

Originally, there were only a few brick houses here, and the two-story building was still a house built by his parents when they were alive, and they both died not long after they were built.

Yesterday it took an afternoon to clean up the hall and master bedroom, and now there is still a side house and a room on the second floor and the yard are not tidy.

After a busy morning, I finally cleaned up the second floor, and many of the moldy and dusty debris in the past were all moved to the sun for disinfection, and it was almost noon when I looked at the time.

"Huh? How is it that nothing has changed this time"

After checking the panel, his physique was still 81 unchanged from last night, but he felt that his workload was about the same as last afternoon.

Li Heng felt a little confused, and at the same time felt a slight sense of depression, which was also human nature, because the expected harvest was not obtained.

But he's not in a hurry, it's still early to take his time.

took out all the fast food brought back from the rental house and heated it, and dealt with this lunch, which is also a disguised inventory, and then he will have to buy his own vegetables and cook.

After a brief lunch break, he continued to deal with the unfinished tidying work, and when the house was cleared, he was in his own small courtyard, where the green artemisia grass grew luxuriantly on the cracked ground, half a man high to his waist, and the courtyard wall was covered with dark green moss.

When people enter these vegetation, they will retreat, and when they walk these vegetation, they will settle in, which is the relationship between man and nature.

Everything is competing for water, land, and sunlight, just like people are fighting for fame, power, and money, but in essence, they are all fighting for survival.

The so-called harmonious coexistence is really just a beautiful imagination.

It's as if Li Heng went down with this shovel to pluck the roots of this tallest growing artemisia grass, which was originally the tallest shrub in this yard, and could enjoy the most rain and sunlight, so that it could grow bigger and override the other weeds around it, and occupy the best resources and land for a long time.

But just because Li Heng, a completely external existence to these plants and trees, appeared, this possibility was completely cut off.

Of course, other weeds will soon have the same fate, all of them will be cut down and thrown out of the courtyard wall to death from exposure to the sun, and finally become fertilizer or firewood in the stove, in a sense, this "external existence" realizes the "equality of all beings" of weeds in this courtyard.

In the final analysis, they still failed to fight, if their root system is stronger, and the stems are thicker, just like the small trees outside, then Li Heng will be difficult to shake them, at least for the time being, with this small shovel in his hand.

But fortunately they are just plants, just a bunch of plants that can't think, and humans should probably be glad for that.

"Whew-"

"These weeds are really not easy to mess up and grow everywhere, and the roots are sticking into the cracks of the bricks, and I have to buy herbicides to beat them again after this time."

After resting three times in an afternoon, Li Heng tidied up this "primitive" grassland and felt like returning to his own courtyard.

"Huh? The values have changed! ”

Just as he was resting with a wooden shovel, he suddenly noticed that his body had become 82, and it had risen a little.

Li Heng felt a burst of excitement in his heart, but quickly calmed down again.

"This time it has risen much slower than yesterday, I have worked for almost a day today, and it has only increased a little, which is comparable to yesterday's afternoon, and there must be a reason for this change."

He pondered the truth in silence, looking at the setting sun in the west, and pondering the possible causes.
