Chapter 170, two or three things about farming
Corner of the courtyard wall.
Aggressive......
In the small vegetable garden, Chen Shu was working on a newly opened wasteland with a hoe, and the ground slowly became softer as the hoe waved.
The hoe was made in the past, and there was no iron in the fragments of the Buddha, just a simplified version of the stone polished into a rough shape and finally tied to a wooden stick.
The rope was only made of thinner rattan, and it was not very strong to tie up, and Chen Shu always had to stop and re-tie it every ten times he hoeed.
There is a beauty of primitive times.
The small vegetable garden can only supply enough vegetables and fruits for the two monks and apprentices, so you need to open up some by yourself - this is the statement of the monk who steals the heart, and Chen Shu does not believe it.
It's just that he doesn't have any ill feelings about it.
My ears have been deaf for a long time, and working in this quiet world will always produce a feeling as if I have become closer to heaven and earth, as if it is not the earth that is hoeing, but a state of life.
This is probably not a delusion.
Over the past few days, Chen Shu's heart has gradually fallen into a kind of tranquility, and working in the fields every day is like smoothing out his turbulent undercurrent heart, turning into a deep pool, his face is as flat as a mirror, and he doesn't know the depth.
So at the beginning, Chen Shu just had the idea of "coming and coming", but in the back he seemed to be really in love, every day in addition to looking at the classics in the temple, it was the two things of hoeing, and sometimes he couldn't wait to run outside to make use of all those wastelands.
It's just that the land in this courtyard is also extremely strange, Chen Shu has been farming for at least ten days now, and he is tired every day with a sore back, as if fighting with people for three days and three nights, but now it is only a small piece.
But the vegetables and fruits grown can indeed be called delicious, each is full of juice, and it also contains a lot of pure energy, if it is sold in this world, the value is probably not cheaper than some spiritual objects, which is probably also some special features contained in this fragment of the Buddha Kingdom.
After all, according to the fat cat, the Buddha Kingdom was also the top three kingdoms of God in the world, and it was not surprising that anything happened on this land.
"Whew..."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, put the hoe aside, at this time there was a mountain breeze blowing, the branches and fruits in the vegetable garden were luxuriant, with this gust of mountain wind gently swaying, the forest sea in the mountain forest outside the door also made a rustling sound.
"If it's okay, there's nothing wrong with planting a field for a lifetime."
It's just that it's not easy to open up another piece of land, Chen Shu doesn't stop every day, but according to this trend, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a few months.
"Master Chen, drink water."
Xiao Shami handed over a cup of mountain spring, his eyes were closed, but he seemed to see the world clearly, and handed it directly to Chen Shu.
"Thank you." Xiao Shami was the only one who could hear Chen Shu's voice so far, and he was not polite, and poured it directly into his mouth.
The cool mountain spring with a hint of sweetness enters the throat, and all the heat is extinguished in an instant.
"Master Chen, can you still teach me to read and write today?" Xiao Shami asked with some anticipation.
"Yes."
The temperament of the master and apprentice, after nearly half a month of familiarity, Chen Shu can be regarded as having some understanding - it is said that it is half a month, but in fact, it is just Chen Shu's personal feeling, and there is no day and night in the fragments of the Buddha Kingdom, and he is not sure about it.
The heart stealing monk is not a serious monk, except for eating a meal at night, he always meditates in the meditation room on weekdays, saying that he is studying Buddhism, but Chen Shu has never taken it seriously.
And Miaokong, that is, the little novice, is like a curious baby, usually except for knocking on the wooden fish, the rest of the time is to stand by the vegetable garden, watching him work, and when he rests, he mostly asks about the outside world, which really seems to be what a child of this age should do.
It's just that sometimes Miaokong will also sneak into Chen Qin's news, the last time he was in the house, Miaokong said that he would marry her when he grew up, Chen Shu's memory will not be biased, but he also finds it interesting, and from time to time he will tease him with a few words, so ashamed that his face is flushed.
Because there is no trace of spiritual thought in the fragments of the Buddha's kingdom, it is difficult even if you want to practice, so you can only rely on cutting leeks to suck blood, and then call to collect two apostles every day, fortunately, it is also considered to be leisurely.
The two of them, one older and one younger, soon arrived at the study.
In addition to some Buddhist classics, there are not a few books in this study, and Chen Shu took out two copies at random.
said that it was teaching, but in fact, it was better to say that it was Chen Shunian, Miaokong listened, no matter how obscure the words were, and they would be able to listen to it.
Miaokong can't be seen as a normal blind person, although his eyes are blind, but it doesn't affect his vision at all - unlike Chen Shu's deafness, Miaokong is probably playing blindly.
At night, the three of them had dinner.
In addition to some clear porridge, there is also a plate of meat.
Occasionally, they would slaughter some strange beasts to eat, and the heart-stealing monk always said that Miaokong was still young and needed nutrition, but every time he ate more than Chen Shu, Miaokong never ate it.
Another long time has passed, Chen Shu farms every day, teaches Miaokong to write, because he has the habit of writing a diary, and also found a blank book and handed it to Miaokong, hoping that he can learn some good habits.
It's just that he was reading a book today, but Miaokong suddenly looked up at Chen Shu: "Sir, I have understood." ”
As he spoke, he hurried to the meditation room, as if to share it with his master.
After becoming familiar with it, Chen Shu taught him to read and write, and Miaokong changed his words.
Chen Shu was a little curious, but he didn't follow.
It's just that the voice of the little novice still came from several walls.
"Master, I've understood, I've understood!"
"Oh? What have you realized? ”
"A woman's heart cannot be stolen."
"To occupy."
Chen Shu couldn't guess the expression of the heart-stealing monk, but it was probably very exciting.
He's also a little.
There are too many miscellaneous books in this temple gate.
……
Time flies.
There is no time in the Buddha country, and when I turn around and look back, more than five months have passed.
Chen Shu sat quietly on the edge of the vegetable garden in a gray monk's robe that didn't particularly fit, and the mountain wind blew through again, and the leaves swayed and made a rustling sound. There was light shining through the dense foliage of the vegetable garden, warm and soft.
In his newly opened land, the branches are sprouting, the shoots are verdant and full of life, and in a few months, there may be a good harvest, Chen Shu slowly closed his eyes, breathed deeply in the fresh air, and felt the breath of nature.
There was no wave in his heart, and his thoughts flowed in silence, like a clear stream.
He felt the pulse of the earth, listened to the chirping of birds, and felt the subtle connection and harmony between all things.
In the tranquility of this idyllic area, Chen Shu seems to have forgotten the hustle and bustle of the world and let go of everything.
He forgot the exams of the university, where he came from, where he was going, who he was, and the vastness of the universe.
In a trance, he seems to be one with heaven and earth, his soul is integrated with nature, and people sit here, no different from stubborn stones, no different from plants and trees, and no different from scenery.
At a certain moment, time seemed to stand still.
There was a small sound in my ears, which sounded quietly.
But it was like thunder.
"It's ...... time"
In the meditation room, the heart-stealing monk looked at the sky, the cloudless fragments of the kingdom of God, and suddenly the clouds were thick, thunder and lightning were combined, and the strange beasts roared in terror.
