Chapter 88, the old man withered and returned to the old business

After winter turned to spring and the weather warmed, Li Shucheng began to raise peppers and sweet potatoes.

Grain can be sown directly, but other artichokes, peppers, and sweet potatoes cannot. For example, when I planted artichoke more than half a month ago, I first cut the artichoke into pieces at home and then sent it to the ground to plant. If the artichoke is not cut into pieces, the seeds will be wasted, and the second will grow several seedlings to disperse the nutrients, and the artichoke will not grow much. Cut into pieces with buds and plant them, generally only one seedling will grow in one piece, and the nutrients will not be dispersed, so that the artichoke can grow. Sweet potatoes have to be cut and cuttings, and the whole is planted, even if the sweet potatoes are very small. He has done these things in his previous life, and he has become more familiar with them in the past few years.

In addition, he mixed some nutrient soil with fine soil and manure. Anyway, he did a lot of farm work in his last life, and he also did it when he used nutrient soil to pinch nutrient balls to raise grain seedlings.

According to the experience learned in the previous life, before and after the Qingming Festival, I asked the people in the village to help me plant the grain.

"Master Canghai, you have asked so many people to help, and it has cost a lot of money so far. According to what you said, these things are not as good as wheat and rice, and you will not be paid back when you grow them. Village elder Feng San came over to see it and said to Li Shucheng.

"I don't grow these things to make money. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Local crops are grown on the slopes, and the yield is not large. And these things that I brought with me were much more productive, and they spread later, and although they were not as delicious as wheat and rice, they could feed many people. I have planted here, and whatever I have recovered, I will give it to the people to make seeds. ”

"Give it to the people to make seeds? Okay! Everyone is having a hard time, and it is better to have these things to eat than to eat wild vegetables. Feng San said with a sigh. Although they planted wheat, they were able to leave very little every year, and they were reluctant to eat it and exchange it for sorghum millet with the wealthy Han landlords nearby. Feng San lived to be fifty or sixty years old, and he had never eaten a few meals of pasta in his life. However, they live by the sea, they can often go out to fish, although most of the catch has been collected, but they can also leave some scraps, and when the tide is low, they can also pick up some small fish and shrimp left on the beach, life is not too sad, the village people are still tall and strong. However, this is by the sea, and the people in the mainland are having a hard time, and the wild vegetables are struggling to get by, and everyone is yellow and thin.

After more than a year, the people in the village saw the benefits and planted some with them. In particular, they like chili peppers, although they are not very used to eating spicy food, but living by the sea is very humid, and eating spicy peppers can get rid of moisture.

Hundred Flowers Valley, the valley is still full of flowers, bees are buzzing to collect honey, Li Shucheng took a look, most of them are ordinary bees, it seems that Yufeng has degenerated. After so many years, the two are ready for the death of the old urchin Zhou Botong, so it is not surprising. But without the figure of playing with bees yelling and playing, Li Shucheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

When I came to the place where the old urchin lived, the small grass house was gone. The two of them walked to the cliff behind the small grass house, where there was a stone chamber, and they had entered it before.

He opened the stone door, stood sideways by the door, and fanned it with his sleeve, which brought the sound of whirring wind, and after two or three breaths, a gust of wind with dust was half-blown out of the door. After there was no more dust for a while, Li Shucheng stopped fanning, and the two entered the stone room.

There was only one sarcophagus in the stone room, and after a glance, there were words engraved on the wall: "Li boy, the old naughty boy is leaving, go below to accompany Aunt Ying and Senior Brother." ”

The sarcophagus had been covered, and it seemed that the old urchin had covered it himself.

The two carried the sarcophagus out, buried it next to Yinggu's grave, erected a monument, cleaned up the weeds on Yinggu's grave, and after worshipping, made a wooden box and took away the few remaining Yufeng. If Yufeng stays here, it will completely degenerate into an ordinary bee in a few years.

"I'm afraid there are few acquaintances from before, and I don't know if Yang Guo and his wife are still there. Out of the valley, Li Shucheng sighed. According to his estimates, Mu Lingzi, He Sheng and others are no longer there, and only Yang Guo and his wife may still be there among the people they were familiar with before.

"Just check it out. Jiang Mingyue said.

On Zhongnan Mountain, the Quanzhen Sect has been scattered, and the original site of Chongyang Palace is only a broken wall. The Quanzhen Sect is still there, and the inheritance of the Seven Sons has not been broken, but it is no longer in its former glory.

Outside the ancient tomb in the back mountain, two grass houses were erected, Li Shucheng stood still from a distance, used a little Zhenyuan, and said in the same voice as usual: "Yang Guo is not there? Li Shucheng is visiting." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man with a face of fifty or sixty years old jumped out and said, "Who is it?" This person is the son of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu. Not to mention his father's prestige in the rivers and lakes back then, let's just say that his father is so old, who dares to call him by his name, especially when he listens to the voice of a young man who is about the same age as his son. If it weren't for so many years of self-cultivation, he would have been furious directly.

As soon as the words fell, an old voice inside said, "Ping'er, don't be rude." As the words fell, an old man with gray hair and an old face walked out. Although his face is old, he can still see the face of his youth, Li Shucheng is sure, this is Yang Guo.

Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue approached and said in surprise: "Yang Guo, why are you old like this? It shouldn't be!" It is said that Yang Guo opened up the second vein of Ren Du when he was in his forties, and it was easy to be born with it, and with Li Shucheng's experience in teaching him, it was not difficult to condense the entrance, and he should not be so old.

Yang Guo tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth, but only showed an ugly smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Three years ago, Long'er passed away. I didn't expect you two to be so young. ”

When Li Shucheng heard it, it turned out to be so. Xiaolongnu has passed away, what is the meaning of Yang Guo being alive? I don't have the heart to practice at all, after three years, the true qi in the body has dissipated, the body is not nourished by the true qi, and there are ghosts if you don't get old. "Over the years, we have not let go of cultivation, and our internal strength has improved. ”

"Oh, by the way, it's been more than thirty years since Senior Sister Li died, and her tomb is over there. Ping'er, you take your uncle to have a look. Yang Guo said. Li Shucheng called Li Mochou his sister, so Yang Guo told Li Shucheng about it.

Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue followed Yang Taiping to Li Mochou's tomb, all the way through Yang Taiping, Li Shucheng also knew that Li Mochou's disciples Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, Huang Yaoshi's closed disciples Cheng Ying, Guo Jing's daughter Guo Xiang, these people had all passed away. Time has always been so ruthless, no matter whether you are a hero or a good person who is dedicated to goodness, you will eventually become a handful of loess. "Will we come to this point after all?" Li Shucheng thought to himself. As soon as I thought about it, a sense of sorrow rose and spread unconsciously.

This sorrow affected Yang Taiping next to him, and sorrow also rose in his heart, thinking of his deceased mother and wife, and unconsciously shed tears.

Jiang Mingyue stood beside Li Shucheng, clearly felt Li Shucheng's mood, reached out and held Li Shucheng's hand and smiled: "As long as we work hard, there is nothing to regret." ”

Jiang Mingyue's words made Yang Taiping sober up, and he was taken aback, he didn't expect that his decades of skill would be unknowingly influenced by this uncle. "I don't know how profound this uncle's skill is?" Yang Taiping couldn't help but think in his heart, "I should have already completed the step of condensing the entrance that my father said, and I don't know what kind of realm he has reached!"

When he left, Li Shucheng regretted it. Looking at Yang Guo's appearance, he won't be able to stand it for long.

Back in Xianghai Village, Jiang Mingyue saw that Li Shucheng couldn't lift his spirits, so she deliberately went to sea to the island to find two little sea eagles and came back. Back then, there were a few bald eagles on the continent over there, and they have become a small group over the decades, and Li Shucheng likes it very much. It's just that I couldn't bear to separate them when I came back, so I didn't bring them back. Now that Li Shucheng is in a bad mood, then find two sea eagles for him to raise and divert his attention.

"Hey, what kind of bird is this?" As soon as Jiang Mingyue came back, Li Shucheng heard the bird's call, looked at the two young birds in the basket and asked.

"This is also a sea eagle, I just don't know what it is. Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, "I think of raising a few sea eagles like a few years ago, which can help us catch fish." ”

With two little sea eagles, Li Shucheng naturally began to feel energetic, and took the little sea eagles to the beach every day to find small fish to feed the sea eagles, and took good care of the two little sea eagles.

"Mingyue, this time has worried you. I promise, it won't be like this in the future. On this day, Li Shucheng came back from the beach with a group of children, hugged Jiang Mingyue and said solemnly. When I was looking for small fish on the beach just now, a group of children ran over to see two small sea eagles, and they were very happy, chattering around and chattering, and then helping Li Shucheng turn over the reef to find small fish, just hoping to be able to come to see the two little sea eagles often. Li Shucheng was also infected by their energy, and the whole person came to life.

"Isn't it right to worry about you?" Jiang Mingyue felt Li Shucheng's powerful hug and said with a smile. During this time, she was very worried, but now that Li Shucheng has recovered, she feels that she is surrounded by full happiness.

After the children had eaten and ran over to see the little sea eagle, Li Shucheng pointed to the beehive placed in the corner of the yard and admonished: "Don't you see that beehive? Don't go over there, the bees inside are very fierce." ”

"Good. The children looked at the little sea eagle and said without raising their heads, like that, I don't know if they heard what Li Shucheng said.

"These leather boys, they won't get interested until they are stung. Li Shucheng looked at the child who didn't raise his head and scolded with a smile.

Seeing that the children found the small fish that they put aside and wanted to feed again, Li Shucheng hurriedly stopped them and said: "I just fed them just now, I don't need to feed them now, I'm not afraid of swelling them to death if I feed them too much? ”

Children often come, Li Shucheng thought about it and decided to teach them to read and write. They are not expected to be well-educated, and it is good to just know a few words. So, the sound of immature reading sounded in the courtyard.

Li Shucheng taught the children to read and write, which made the villagers very grateful and read and write, but they could never have dreamed of it! Then, one by one, he took the initiative to help with farming, and Li Shucheng resolutely refused to accept the wages he wanted to pay.
