Chapter 19: Fetching Water
Hearing Zhao Jiujing say this, the young man was very happy, and he still had to pay for accommodation.
Zhao Jiujing couldn't shirk it, so he collected 300 yuan a month, including electricity and water he called.
In addition to this, the young man also gave an additional 300 yuan, saying that it was food money, and Zhao Jiujing also accepted it.
Rice, there is no shortage here, and the villagers will donate.
Vegetables, he planted a lot in the back mountain, and there was no shortage of them.
Oil? The villagers sent some, he bought some, and on weekdays, he had little soup and water, and he used very little oil, and he was not lacking.
If you don't ask for big fish and meat, 300 yuan a month's meal money is far enough.
"My surname is Yu, Yu Ze, Zhao Guan can just call me by my name in the future."
"Sometimes I will go back to the city for about a few days, and Zhao Guan doesn't have to wait for me to eat...... When I want to eat, I'll let you know that morning. ”
Zhao Jiujing had a very good impression of this young man and was very polite.
But for some reason, he always felt a little weird.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jiujing saw that he got up early in the morning, so he asked him why he came here to stay for a long time, and what was there to stay in the broken place where birds don't.
"Cultivate! Retreat and practice! ”
"Retreat?"
Zhao Jiujing was stunned, "What retreat cultivation?" ”
"A kind of spiritual retreat."
Yu Ze answered him very dryly, opened his arms, and looked at the forest outside: "In this kind of silent and uninhabited land, it is very good for spiritual cultivation. ”
Zhao Jiujing understood, secretly thinking that he was probably another city man who was obsessed with meditation.
Nowadays, some young people yearn for the plateau, and it seems that a trip to the plateau can purify the soul that is covered by the red dust. Some are obsessed with meditation, as if meditation can make people spiritually noble.
Zhao Jiujing didn't care, seeing that the young man was wearing a set of sea blue practice clothes, he knew that the other party was not unprepared, but prepared!
Even the copycat running shoes have been replaced with old capital cloth shoes!
"Lord Zhao Guan, are you going to fetch water?"
"Yes, there is no running water here, you need to go to the mountain spring water."
"Can you take me along?"
"Okay, you come with me."
Zhao Jiujing took two large wooden barrels, picked a flat pole that the young people in the city had barely seen, and walked towards the back mountain.
The mountain spring mouth of the back mountain is about half a kilometer away from the Taoist temple, the road is not far, and it is also the way down the mountain when you go, but when you get to the mountain spring mouth to get water, you want to carry two buckets of water back, that is the road up the mountain, which is quite torturous.
In the past three years, Zhao Jiujing has gone from being tired and out of breath at the beginning, to now being calm and powerful, and he can be regarded as having practiced.
"Look, that's the mountain spring water, it's very clear, right, take a sip and try it?"
Zhao Jiujing pointed to the mountain spring water that seeped out of the crack in the stone, and took a sip to show Yu Ze.
"It's really refreshing!"
Yu Ze tried to take a sip, only to feel that the mountain spring water was refreshing, and there was a sweet aftertaste.
"This mountain spring water has been around for many years, and there has never been a problem, so you don't have to worry about any heavy metals exceeding the standard......"
Zhao Jiujing explained, finished two buckets of water, got on the flat shoulder, and prepared to go back.
"Lord Zhao Guan, can you let me try?"
Yu Ze saw him carrying the burden and was curious to try it.
"Well, I'm afraid you can't do it, these two buckets of water are very heavy......"
Zhao Jiujing refused, there were tourists who followed to see the mountain spring water before, and tried to pick up water because of curiosity, but he was tired after walking a third of the way, and a lot of water was spilled, so that Zhao Jiujing had to go back to fetch water again.
"It's okay, I have a lot of strength."
Yu Ze snatched Zhao Jiujing's burden, so that he couldn't stop it, and couldn't help but secretly say, it is not enough to carry water.
At first, when he carried water, the two wooden barrels on his shoulders just did not obey him, and as soon as he put his shoulder on his shoulders, he staggered and staggered, and the water was sprinkled all over the place.
Why?
Just because this water seems simple, but in fact it contains a lot of knowledge about how to use the body, people in the city have never tried it, they just thought that it was very simple, but as soon as they got started, they found that it was too difficult to carry water.
In order to prevent coming back to replenish water in a while, Zhao Jiujing hurriedly gave guidance.
"When carrying water, you have to squat, your back must be round, your hips must be open, your round back can be opened to your feet steady, and your waist strength can be used...... I'll it! ”
As soon as the pointing began, Zhao Jiujing watched in amazement as Yu Ze smoothly picked up the flat burden, what was not particular, there was nothing to pay attention to, as if the flat burden should have been a part of his body, the two buckets of water jumped up, the flat burden and Yu Ze's shoulder and neck seemed to be integrated, the soft flat burden was obviously dancing on the shoulder, but the water in the barrel was swaying but not spilling.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Jiujing hadn't let his widening eyes ease up, Yu Ze said "Let's go", his feet were like devils sliding on the ground, just like it was not a rugged mountain road, but a smooth ice surface, and in the blink of an eye, he went more than ten meters away.
"Hey, wait for me, wait for me, I haven't caught up yet."
Zhao Jiujing discovered for the first time that there are people in this world who carry water, and they can walk so fast on the mountain road?
He didn't catch up with the back with his bare hands, and could only see the back disappear at the bend in the mountain road in despair.
"Is this really a city guy? No, the children in the mountains are not so exaggerated, are they? Where did this monster come from? ”
Zhao Jiujing hurried forward, and finally didn't catch up with Yu Ze, who was carrying two buckets of water, and when he returned to the Taoist temple, he found that Yu Ze had already poured all the water into the water tank.
"Huhu...... Young man, did you specialize in carrying water before? ”
Zhao Jiujing panted, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said jokingly: "If there is a water competition in this world, you will definitely be the champion." ”
"Haha, it's a pity that there are no water competitions in the world!"
Yu Ze smiled cheerfully, "By the way, are there eggs in the view?" Hey, if not, buy some eggs next time I come. ”
"There are still a dozen eggs, if you like to eat them, bring your own."
Zhao Jiujing went to work for breakfast: "You got up too early, you have to wait for breakfast." ”
"Don't worry, I'll go out and practice first."
"Okay, remember to come back in an hour."
An hour later, Zhao Jiujing saw Yu Ze come back on time and ate a porridge and steamed bun breakfast, which was very bitter, but it seemed that Yu Ze did not dislike it, but ate it with relish, not like a disguise, so Zhao Jiujing nodded secretly.
After breakfast, Yu Ze took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then said goodbye and said that he was going to mental exercise and didn't care about his lunch.
The ghost knows what kind of spiritual exercise method he is, and Zhao Jiujing is too lazy to take care of it, and is busy cleaning up the daily work of the Taoist temple.
In the afternoon, a rainstorm suddenly came, Zhao Jiujing was a little worried about Yu Ze, in this mountain, such a rainstorm is too dangerous, not to mention the mudslide, just say that the mountain road is slippery, it is terrible to fall, the light is abrasive, the heavy is fractured, and then it is a little more serious and rolls down the hillside, and the life is gone.
