Chapter 200: The Call of the Mountain

After a night's solid sleep, Du Chengfeng rubbed his head and woke up.

There is still a faint pain in the head, this is the sequelae of drinking too much cheap wine, even after washing his face, Du Chengfeng is still a little confused, but after a bowl of gruel, he has recovered some vitality, and he has become much more energetic.

He hadn't been so relaxed in a while, or rather, he hadn't been so relaxed in a long time.

The process of pursuing strength looks magnificent, but how much hard work there is, only Du Chengfeng himself knows - the so-called road to becoming stronger has never been as simple as practicing any martial arts, or defeating any strong enemy, but countless days and nights of mental tension, maintaining a state of combat readiness at any time, even if it is lying down to sleep, you must keep a spirit to come out, so that when you feel those wind and grass, you can turn over and face the enemy at any time.

And now, he finally slept well after a long absence.

There is no need to be nervous anymore, and there is no need to be ready to do it at any time, and now he finally has the qualifications to sleep freely.

Perhaps this is the smallest unit of strength, just like in the dangerous nature world, only the large beasts at the top of the food chain are qualified to sleep wherever they want. They are too strong to have no natural predators, so naturally there is no danger, even if they lie there unconscious for a few hours, they will not lose their lives inexplicably.

"I just want to get some sleep......"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Obviously, when he was still a Taiping person, he could sleep soundly every night, but now he has to be so strong that he is not like a human to sleep peacefully, I really don't know if he is crazy or the world is crazy.

Maybe this world is crazy, otherwise how could there be such a bullshit thing as evil spirit.

Of course, the evil qi can't be regarded as completely useless, just like now, when Du Chengfeng lifted the big knife and pointed over, the stone the size of a human head floated again, jumping around him for a while, and spinning in a circle in front of him, but it was as flexible as a cat or dog.

While proficient in this new technology, Du Chengfeng sipped cheap tea and enjoyed the morning sun that he had not seen for a long time.

There is no fighting, killing, no bloodbathing, no bloodbathing, no need to fight hard, no need to slash people, only relaxing silence and peace.

This is called life, this is called life.

Yu Lao Er got up a little late, but his body was much worse than Du Chengfeng today, plus he drank a lot last night, and almost all the hidden wine was taken out, which directly caused Yu Lao Er's hangover to be more serious than Du Chengfeng, and he was still a little staggering when he walked.

But after waking up, Yu Lao Er still found Du Chengfeng for the first time.

"Where did you go yesterday? I think it was the team that defeated the steppe people......"

"Oh, it's the Prairie National Teacher."

Du Chengfeng vaguely remembered that there was such a play.

The main thing is that if you drink too much, you have to have something to talk about, Yu Lao Er has stayed in Lijia Village all his life, and there is nothing to say, so only Du Chengfeng is left to say. As for the content, it was naturally his adventure over the past few years - but he didn't say that it was his own, after all, it would scare this peasant man who couldn't even listen to murder.

He only said that these were all heard from the outside, and they were other people's experiences, and as a legendary story, Yu Lao Er was happy to hear it.

"Can you stop telling the story of that big tree? I almost threw up when I heard it. ”

This is Yu Laoer's only opinion.

"Okay, then I'll talk about something else."

Du Chengfeng smiled.

"Don't talk about big trees, let's talk about spirit turtles, say that a long, long time ago, there was an old turtle ......"

"Stop, stop, it's good to get here, I won't listen."

Yu Lao Er shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't want to continue listening to anything.

This also made Du Chengfeng, who was holding back his badness, laugh, and he knew that this would be the result.

But halfway through the laugh, Du Chengfeng was in a trance.

When was the last time you laughed so happily?

Like, it's been a long time ago.

"It's over......"

After a long time, Du Chengfeng sighed.

It was at this time that he realized that those fights, kills, and life-and-death fights had really passed, and now he had the power to be able to settle down, and he had actually stepped into a new life.

Away from those fights and kills, only leisure and tranquility remain......

"Ugh."

Looking at the stone floating in front of him, Du Chengfeng choked.

Well, even if he has the strength to be able to settle down, he is already unable to be idle.

No matter how much he wanted to live a life away from those fights and killings, he had to admit that the experience of pursuing power had left a deep imprint on him, and even became a part of his life - just like he could have ignored the ruins before, but he still wanted to fight against it, and he still wanted to practice some new skills from it.

I still want to turn this knowledge into power.

"Gone!"

Du Chengfeng greeted Yu Lao Er, ready to continue today's work.

This time I want to try to copy, if I can make one stone fly, then I should be able to make ten stones fly, and there is such a thing as a stone, there is something in that ruin-Du Chengfeng is even a little grateful to the gray pheasant, although he didn't know where he ran all the way, but it was this fate that made him find the possibility of continuing to improve.

That hill is simply his blessed land, and he will definitely turn all the ruins into fertile fields.

It's another way to exercise, how do you say that? Walking, sitting, and lying can be practiced.

But just when Du Chengfeng was about to leave, Yu Lao Er didn't move for a long time.

"How?"

Du Chengfeng leaned over.

"What's wrong?"

"The guy style is broken."

Yu Laoer's face was quite ugly.

It turned out that the hoe and shovel were broken, and the gap could be clearly seen on the heavy cutting edge, and it was obvious that this was something hard when I was cleaning up the ruins of the mountain yesterday, but it was still dark when I came back at that time, and I drank alcohol again, so I didn't pay attention.

But this is not a trivial matter, especially for Yu Laoer.

Although it is just an ordinary object, these are two pieces of iron after all, and if he goes to the town to build a new one, it will make his already not rich situation worse again - of course, if he must use it, it is not impossible to use it, but if such a guy takes it to work, it will definitely affect some efficiency.

And, there is another important reason why he doesn't want to change.

These guys had been passed down to him by his deceased father.

"That's ......"

Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

"Then I'll try to fix it for you?"

"This ...... Will you repair? ”

Yu Lao Er couldn't help but raise his head.

The main thing is that Du Chengfeng, who is carrying a big knife on his back, doesn't look like a person who can do this kind of work.

"I'll try, what if it works?"

Saying this, Du Chengfeng took out the whetstone.

Although he has no experience in sharpening farm tools, since they are all sharpened, it may be no different from sharpening knives.

Now he doesn't need to rely on sharpening knives to improve his strength, so the whetstone is only a thought on his body, but he didn't expect that this old craft will continue to shine.

"Let me do it first, don't get in my way."

Finding a bench and sitting down, Du Chengfeng unloaded the hoe and shovel from the pole and prepared to polish it carefully.

There is more than one gap on the edge of the blade, it can be seen that these tools have been used for a long time, and it is only because the user cherishes them very much, so they have been used to this day, but the long years still make these tools inevitably age, and when his fingers touch those old gaps, he can even feel the memories and nicks accumulated over the years.

“…… Wait? ”

Du Chengfeng, who experienced the familiar feeling, couldn't help but be stunned.

Just polishing a farm tool, you can actually feel the memory?

Yes, really.

It was the memory of a peasant young man, who looked a little similar to Yu Laoer, but his face was older, and he was more honest. In order to make his work more profitable, this young man, known as Lao Yu, saved some money and asked the town blacksmith to make these two handy tools.

And then there is a very ordinary farming life, exactly the same as Yu Laoer.

When he first arrived, he was unfamiliar with the land and had little money, and Lao Yu couldn't afford to rent any good land, so he discussed with the local Li family and rented the farmland near the foot of the mountain. Although this is not a good start, Lao Yu believes that as long as he is down-to-earth and willing to work, everything will be fine.

And this is indeed the case, the hard-working old Yu soon gained a foothold in this Lijia Village, and in the following years, this old Yu not only got better and better, but even asked for a daughter-in-law, and completely took root in this Lijia Village.

"Yes."

Even Du Chengfeng, who was a bystander, admired the perseverance of this old Yu, he had also been a homeless person, so he could naturally appreciate the hardships - although he is now in control of the power, but if he did not embark on this road of fighting by mistake, he may be like this old Yu, it will take several years to earn some family business in Yangjiabao.

No, he is probably not even as good as this old Yu, after all, he has the knowledge and ideas he had when he was a Taiping, and he also has the help of the kind-hearted Li carpenter, and he also has the blind flow of Yangjiabao to provide him with a large amount of mental damage, which makes him like a fish in water in Yangjiabao.

But this old Yu has nothing, and he is really self-made.

It's really good that the homeless people have reached this point. Lao Yu, who has a family business, already has the ability to talk to the local Li family, rent some fields with better locations, or simply rely on this savings to make a living that is easier to earn - just like Du Chengfeng thought when he was still a homeless person, if he continues to develop step by step, life will always get better and better.

But what puzzled Du Chengfeng was that this capable old Yu was stuck at this step.

Obviously, he already has the ability to continue to develop, but this Lao Yu chose to give up, guarding the field at the foot of the mountain, and not moving half a step - of course, Lao Yu did not think about development, but Lao Yu's target was the mountain not far away.

This old Yu's plan turned out to be to open up the wasteland.

"I'm going to dig up the mountain so that it's safe to go down to the ground...... As long as there is no mountain in front of us, we can directly draw water from the river for irrigation, how convenient is that? ”

Lao Yu persuaded his family in this way, he wanted his wife and children to understand what he was doing.

But in Du Chengfeng's eyes, no matter how you look at this plan, there are some problems.

He can split mountains and open up wasteland by himself, because he can really split mountains, and the biggest problem is not a problem for him, that is, he just wants to challenge himself in the follow-up processing - take 10,000 steps back and say, if he really doesn't want to do the work of cleaning up the ruins, then he can also carry a big knife to find the nearby county government and directly pull out a group of people to clean up the ruins.

But this old Yu ...... There is no such power.

Lao Yu didn't have this amazing power, and he couldn't find anyone to help, he only had a hoe and a shovel, and only himself. How is it possible to dig up a mountain with just this little thing?

Why do you have to dig a mountain when it's something that can be solved by just changing places?

"Crazy, you're crazy."

When Lao Yu changed from youth to middle-aged, the wife he married finally couldn't stand this hopeless day, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and simply went back to her parents' house.

But Lao Yu continued to dig, as if there was some fascinating magic on that mountain, Lao Yu dug from youth to middle age, and then from middle age to old age, even if the little savings in his hands had long been exhausted, even if his former wife had long since died, even if he was full of gray hair, he did not stop - fortunately, he did open some fields, and his son also grew, and was willing to support him, which made his progress faster.

But Lao Yu's body still couldn't hold it after all.

Lao Yu, who had been stumbling with that mountain all his life, finally fell at the foot of the mountain, and when he was carried home, the whole person was no longer good.

"Mountain, Mountain......"

Even though his body had run out of oil, Lao Yu was still holding a hoe in his hand.

"Mountain ......"

"Dad, I'm listening."

Lao Yu's son, that is, Yu Lao's second, hurriedly came over and held Lao Yu's hand.

"I'm going to dig up the mountains, I'm going to open the fields, even if I can't, my son, my grandson...... I swear that one day, that mountain will be dug up! ”

"Mountain, Mountain......"

Lao Yu didn't seem to hear Yu Er's oath, just looked at the direction of the mountain, and kept chanting, his voice getting lower and lower, lower and lower.

The sound as small as a gnat, Yu Lao Er couldn't hear it clearly.

But Du Chengfeng heard it clearly.

What Lao Yu said in his mouth is clear.

"The baby in the mountains is mine."

The late update, the reason is because the thick rice came over for the holiday, and after chatting for a long time about writing and thinking, I sorted out my brain after he fell asleep, so it was even later, and I couldn't help it.

Because I haven't slept since yesterday, this will be two more chapters first, and the second chapter will be written in a while, and the rest will be made up by waking up during the day.

Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

I'm going to go to codeword, happy holiday everybody.
