158 digging wells
Xuanyuan had no reason to refuse, so he said: "There is no need." ”
However, after receiving Xuanyuan's assurance, the group of young men in front of them looked at each other, and no one took a step for a while.
Hu Zhuangshan gritted his teeth and walked out first.
It's okay for others, and they can't fall into Uncle Mi's face. Since Uncle Mi said that the young Taoist priest in front of him has some ability, then he just has to believe it.
Seeing that Hu Zhuangshan, who was in the lead, took the lead, these young people behind hesitated a little, and finally followed.
Seeing the small movements of this group of people, Xuan Yuan smiled indifferently and followed them into the backyard.
Mi Laogen caught up from behind, saw the hedgehog in Xuanyuan's hand, and frowned: "What about Arou? I have to call her over and take this thorn ball away." ”
"It's out of the way, I'll just take it. Xuan Yuan waved his hand.
Compared to the other four immortals, the white immortal is the most gentle, and under normal circumstances, it does not take the initiative to attack humans.
However, since there was such a strange thing in the Mi family before, even if its cultivation is very shallow, Xuanyuan can't be unguarded.
It's safest to keep it close to you.
Just as Xuanyuan and Mi Laogen were talking, Hu Zhuangshan next to him walked over: "Dao Chief, I see a spell drawn on the stone base of the manhole cover." If you're going to do it, I'm afraid you'll have to cut it down, and it won't have a big impact, right?"
"It doesn't matter, you can just do it. ”
As soon as Xuanyuan's words were finished, Mi Laogen immediately answered and instructed: "You cut off the whole piece of the talisman, don't make it into pieces." ”
"Okay, I'm provincial. Hu Zhuangshan agreed to come down and start construction.
First of all, he picked up a sharp-spouted stone chisel, and the people began to beat it in circles on the stone base of the wellhead.
Slowly, it didn't take long for everyone to work together to complete it, and the stone that was engraved with a charm by Xuanyuan was taken down perfectly.
Then, Hu Zhuangshan began to pick up a big hammer and smashed the periphery of the dry well one by one.
When the stone foundation of the manhole cover was broken, he pointed to the soil layer around the wellhead, and said to the young man behind him: "Well, the stones outside have been knocked out, what you have to do is to excavate along the wall of the well, and expand the whole well." ”
"Okay!" everyone replied in unison and began to work.
Hu Zhuangshan looked at the sky, came to Mi Laogen and Xuanyuan, and said to the old man: "Uncle Mi, I see that it is almost eight or nine o'clock at this time, I will go back and tell the famous lady to prepare lunch." ”
"The villagers, of course, don't mention the salary, but you still have to entertain a meal. When it's done, let these boys have a good meal. ”
"Of course, could it be that I still let them do the day work?" Mi Laogen blew his beard and glared, and immediately reached out and pulled it into his arms.
As soon as Hu Zhuangshan saw this action, he knew that Mi Laogen was going to start paying money. Without saying a word, he immediately ran away.
"Hey, where are you going, come and get the money for the meal!" Mi Laogen hurriedly beckoned, if it weren't for his old body and bones, and he still had a secret injury, otherwise, he would want to immediately catch up and stuff the money into Hu Zhuangshan's hand.
"Uncle Mi, why are you still so outside, I'll pay this money first, and I'll pay Ah Guang's tuition for the next semester first. After saying just that, Hu Zhuangshan rushed out of the gate and saw no one.
Mi Laogen's hand holding the money froze in the air, and after a long pause, he sighed.
When a young man next to him who helped expand the well saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Uncle, since Brother Zhuangshan doesn't want this money, or your old man will scatter it to me, I want it!"
"You want to be beautiful!" he scolded the young man with a smile, and Mi Laogen took the money back, "It's one thing for Hu Xiaozi to be willing to take care of our family, but it's another thing for me to save for my grandson's tuition." ”
"Hey, Ah Guang is still in school, and the school doesn't seem to have started the winter vacation yet, why did he come back. Xuan Yuan listened to the conversation between the two and was puzzled.
"No, the village is going to start buying white reed fruits. Mi Laogen pointed to the woods on the mountains in the distance and explained to Xuanyuan.
"I can't move my old bones to go up the hill to pick the fruit, and at this time, everyone else is busy cleaning up the fruit in their own woodland, and no one can spare to help. If they wait until they are done to pick it, I am afraid that a lot of fruit will rot. ”
So, at this time of year, Ah Guang asks the school for five days off – plus Saturdays and Sundays when classes are not in session, for a total of seven days off. During these seven days, he would come back to see how the white reed fruit was doing, weeding, picking the fruit, and so on. ”
"It's just that this year's fruit seems to be ripening very late, and yesterday Ah Guang told me that it has not yet ripened today, and it is estimated that it will have to wait another week. ”
This...... Seven or eight days of vacation is not much, but it is not too much. Xuan Yuan was a little stunned, but he didn't expect this to be the case in Ah Guang's house.
"In the past, it was only a delay of four or five days at most, but Ah Guang, this kid is a hard worker, diligently makes up for it, and can barely get the first place in the whole grade. ”
"Alas, this time he will delay the course for at least seven or eight days, and I don't know how much this baby's grades will be left behind, and whether he can be admitted to the first place again. ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan almost choked.
What the daring uncle is worried about is not whether Ah Guang can keep up with the progress of the course, but whether he can continue to sit firmly on the throne of the first place in the grade.
I didn't see it, Ah Guang was still a scholar! Xuan Yuan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, but he was worried about it.
......
......
Time gradually passed, and most of the dry wells were dug up, and seeing that it was almost completed, Hu Zhuangshan worked harder to use the shovel in his hand.
At this time, Xuanyuan, who was guarding the side, was quite leisurely.
He held a small hedgehog curled up slightly in one hand and a few fruits in the other, and was feeding the baby birds in the nest.
Listening to the baby bird "chirping" and chirping, happily pecking at the fruit in Xuanyuan's hand, Xuanwei Xuanming and Yuan Le's faces couldn't help but show joy.
And Ah Rou, who was surrounded by the three little guys, had a sparkling light in her eyes. She has loved animals since she was a child, and she has almost no resistance to these cute little things.
With her eyes wide open, she looked at the beige hedgehog, and then at the two small birds with bright feathers in the bird's nest, Arou plucked up her courage and asked Xuanyuan in a glutinous voice, "Dao...... Why, why doesn't this little bird like to eat insects?"
Hmm, is Arou talking? Xuanyuan was a little helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already crossed the first realm, his physical body had strengthened and his five senses had been greatly improved, I am afraid that Xuan Yuan would not have been able to hear what this little girl was saying.
