Chapter 4: The Scorpion and the Bloody Wine
Within a few days, Ding Xing became familiar with Meng Xiaotang and became a good playmate and even a good helper in the orchard.
At first, Ding Xing was more reluctant to Meng Xiaotang, but Meng Xiaotang always took the initiative to come to him, occasionally stuffed a stream of grapes for him to eat, and told him some anecdotes.
At the same time, he also began to understand the deep meaning of Bozu Dingchen's advice, 'You must deal with them for a long time in the future, but don't harm them'.
"Wake up, stop that armor demon!"
On this day, Meng Xiaotang crossed the line from his own orchard, holding a peach wood dagger, and walked through the orange trees of Ding Xing's house in a hurry, and when he saw Ding Xing from a distance, he began to stretch his neck and shout, so that Ding Xing was ready to intercept.
Meng Xiaotang was chasing a gray-brown beetle, which was small in size and flew so fast that Ding couldn't tell the species when he woke up.
This is not the first time Ding Xing has encountered pests, when he met Meng Xiaotang for the first time that day, he suspected of encountering a pest, and told Ding Chenzhi about it, and the next day Ding Chenzhi taught him how to catch insects.
Now is the ripening period of the fruit, and this time of year is the peak of the concentrated outbreak of pests, and Ding Xing patrols the orchard every day except for cultivation.
He's killed a lot of bugs these days.
Hearing Meng Xiaotang's shout and seeing the beetle approaching, Ding Xing didn't panic at all.
According to his previous experience, he pinched his left hand in the shape of an orchid, and silently recited the key to the "Heavy Frost Method" in his mouth, and the aura in his body worked quickly.
His right arm was bent inward, and a layer of white light faintly flashed on his arm, exuding a slight cold power, but this force gathered but did not come out, and he did not shake his right palm until the beetle entered the range of his body.
This is the first spell move 'Xuanshuang Fly' contained in the "Heavy Frost Method", which gathers the morning frost aura in the palm of the hand and can be shot out in the air.
The deeper the mana, the farther the range of the palm frost, and the stronger the power will naturally be.
Ding Xing had only been cultivating for three months, and it was not easy for him to be able to use the 'Xuanshuang Fei' in a decent way, and the destructive power could not be counted on.
At this time, Ding Xing's palm had frost overflowing, and he drew an empty circle in front of him and pushed it outward.
The palm wind stirred the frost and whirred, enveloping the beetles in one fell swoop.
Syllable!
Because the beetle was already very close to him, Ding Xing clearly saw that the palm frost of his method hit the armor body, but the insect's defense was strong, and it only stayed in the air for a moment, and it flew over the top of its head without even leaning back for half a minute.
But at this time, Meng Xiaotang had already caught up, and Ding Xing's spell interception gave Meng Xiaotang a good opportunity to exterminate insects.
When Ding Xingshuang's palm was pushed out, Meng Xiaotang's dagger was also raised high.
Whoosh.
The dagger caught up with the armor and shot it backwards, nailing it to the pole of the orange tree, trembling and humming.
Meng Xiaotang was obese, but his steps were nimble, and he jumped and raised his hand to pull out the dagger.
"Thank you!" Meng Xiaotang turned to Ding Xing's side: "Your skills are a little insufficient, the pests in the back garden, if you can't fight, call me immediately, and I'll help you." ”
This kind of help does not need to be reciprocated, Meng Xiaotang is willing to actively contribute, because the orchards of the two families are next to each other, Ding Xing cannot kill the pests, and the pests may flow to Meng Xiaotang's house, so helping Ding Xing in advance can reduce the loss of Meng Xiaotang's home.
This is called precaution.
In the past, if there was some kind of powerful demon insect in any of the homes, several neighboring villagers would inevitably cooperate sincerely and join forces to kill the insects.
Ding Xing only recently understood this truth.
He kept Ding Chen's instructions in mind and handled the relationship with his neighbors.
If nothing else, Ding Xing will inherit the family's orange orchard, Meng Xiaotang will inherit the vineyard, and they will get along for decades in the future.
The left neighbor is Meng Xiaotang, and who is the right house?
Ding Xing turned his eyes to the strawberry field on the right and asked Meng Xiaotang: "Is the owner of that garden a person Ding Xingwang? I found that the fruit farmers who come to them every day are different, and they change their faces every day. ”
"That's all hired!" Meng Xiaotang is well-informed: "The owner of the garden is surnamed Wu, and he is a descendant of the Wu family who opened the village, and the family has a mountain of treasures, and there are more rich people than my family. ”
"Can this still be hired?" Ding Xing knew that his garden was rented, so he couldn't rent it out second-hand.
"That garden is people's private property, unlike us, the garden belongs to the village, and we have to pay rent every year. Meng Xiaotang was envious.
His family is richer than Ding Xing's family, but in the entire Jinlu Winery, the family can only be regarded as the bottom.
Although his surname is Meng, he is a distant relative of the side, his family moved into the village from other places, and his ancestors do not belong to the branch of the Meng family who built the village, and Jinlu Winery has a history of three hundred years, and has multiplied for more than ten generations.
The two were chatting, and Ding Xing suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
He looked from afar and saw a girl riding a red horse galloping in the strawberry field, and he didn't know whether she was finishing the game or patrolling.
That Martin is no stranger, it is the white hoof that brought him to the winery in the first place.
"Who is she?" Ding Xing asked Meng Xiaotang about it.
"Her name is Wu Zhaoying, she is fierce like a dominatrix and has beaten me several times!" Meng Xiaotang had hatred on his face.
Ding Xing heard him complain, and couldn't help but wonder: "She looks about the same age as us, you can't beat her?"
Meng Xiaotang snorted: "I don't dare to fight! There is an aunt in her family who was recruited by Shangzong, and her identity is so expensive, if I hurt her, not only will I be finished, but my father and mother will also be implicated!"
Meng Xiaotang hated and feared, and grabbed Ding Xing's arm: "Let's go, let's not play with her, she rode a horse today, if she sees us, she will inevitably be kicked by the horse!"
Ding Xing was not worried: "I have seen that horse, called White Hoof, she was the one who brought me to the winery in the first place, she is a good horse, she will not beat us." ”
Having said that, Ding Xing wanted to prevent Wu Zhaoying from scolding people as unreasonably as Wu Tiande, and when there was a conflict, it was himself who suffered, so he stayed away from the strawberry field with Meng Xiaotang.
Meng Xiaotang was very playful, and he was not in a hurry to return to his homeland, he took out the beetle he had just shot, and came up with a good idea for playing: "Ah Xing, have you ever drunk 'Blood Fruit Wine'? This beetle scorpion is a great tonic, and it is just right to be brewed." ”
The types of spiritual wine in the immortal cultivation realm will not be separated from the four kinds, one is the fruit wine made from the spirit fruit, the second is the grain wine made from the spirit grain, the third is the medicinal wine made from herbs, and the last is the blood wine made from some torso of the demon beast.
The wine materials such as spirit fruit and spirit food often do not blend and make wine, because there is no special effect after fusion, and rare materials will be wasted, so the wine side is pitiful.
However, in the mortal world, some brewers will use animal materials and grains to make a kind of soaking wine, and the effect is very good, and the monks imitate the wine recipe, which is the origin of blood fruit wine.
