Chapter 29: Entering the City (2)
The woman in white said: "Enough, the rest must be kept for the master, the two of us are too weak to show up in the world to protect him, the food and objects in this magic weapon are the treasures of his life, and we can't take them at will." ”
The woman in black pouted, "Stingy." But she was happy in her heart, the food in this magic weapon is very magical, a small piece can greatly enhance her skills, more wonderful than the Lingzhi grass of the legendary Antarctic Immortal.
The woman in black crossed her waist and said, "Don't patronize me and teach me, don't be a guard yourself." ”
The woman in white raised an object in her hand: "It's enough for me to eat this, the master has always thrown away these things, and I won't waste them if I eat them." ”
The woman in white is holding a book in her hand, and the trash can often transmits some novels, test papers, teaching materials or something discarded by students, these things have really become garbage for Guo Dalu, and it is not even hard to wipe his buttocks, and it is not as useful as an empty mineral water bottle, so he has always dug a pit and buried it.
But these books are the best food for the woman in white, she is a termite in her original form, and she likes to eat wooden books the most, in fact, the woman in black doesn't know that the aura contained in the books is more than ordinary food, and the growth of cultivation is higher, otherwise, the woman in white will not only practice for such a short time, she has been able to get rid of the beast body, turn into a human form, and recommend a pillow mat, and the master has a spring breeze.
However, the woman in white knows that even if her mana has improved by leaps and bounds, it is still 100,000 miles behind those strong people in this world, not to mention anything else, the giant python that collided with Fengshen Mountain last time did not even have the ability to transform into shapes, but she lost a complete defeat, and even most of her subordinates were killed and wounded.
The cultivation potential of the woman in black in the future will far exceed herself, after all, her original form is only termites, but the woman in black is a dragon body, don't look at the woman in black is in trouble now, but once she reshapes the dragon body in the future, she will be beyond her reach.
If the master wants to gain a foothold in the world in the future, he must need the help of the woman in black.
The woman in white smiled and said, "Sister, I know that you are now living in the well next to the house, and every time you come at this time in the future, I will help you send the food in the magic weapon over, so that you will not show your whereabouts." ”
The woman in black knew that the woman in white had dug a big hole under the house, which was several times larger than the house, and one of the holes went straight under the garbage can in the grove, and it was a trivial matter to dig a hole to the well.
The woman in black accepted the love of the woman in white, and she said with a straight face: "I advise you not to clean the room in the future, those forces above Houlong Village are not something we can provoke, as long as he is not worried about his life in the future, you and I will try to hide our bodies, and we will not interfere if we can." ”
The woman in white nodded: "Thank you, sister, for your advice." She suddenly laughed: "Actually, my sister said this because she doesn't know how to clean the room, right? ”
The woman in black made a big red face, she was born with fine clothes and fine food, how could she have done half of the housework, today just cleaning the room, she felt more tired than holding a sword and fighting with others for a long time, she glared at the woman in white, turned into a whirlwind, and drilled back into the well next to Guo Dalu's house.
The woman in white waved her hand, and the dirt and fallen leaves covered the trash can again, she glanced at the house where Guo Dalu was, and sighed lightly - Master, I can't stay by your side to protect you all the time.
This Houlong Village is not as good as the black reef in the sea, nor can it be compared to the Fengshen Mountain, there are too many strong people in the mortal world, it is not something that a small cultivator like me can provoke, and I will not show up unless I have to do it in the future.
The woman in white disappeared in a flash, and those figures around the grove also disappeared at the same time, burrowing into the underground cave, the most important thing for her now is to cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate until she is strong enough to meet her master face to face again.
Guo Dalu didn't know what happened behind his own grove, he was woken up before dawn after a deep night's sleep, and he pricked up his ears to listen, but it was Brother Hao who knocked on the door outside: "Brother Guo, the old village chief asked me to ask you, do you want to go to the county government with him and give you a yellow book." ”
Guo Dalu was stunned, got out of bed, opened the door, and asked, "Do you have to go to the county government in person on this yellow book?"
Brother Hao shook his head: "According to the rules of the imperial court, newborn children must be enrolled in the yellow book, but they don't need to go to the county government in person, and the village can sign up on their behalf, otherwise, this child is still crying, how can he go to the yamen? ”
Guo Dalu sighed in his heart, this old village chief Zhu, this is still testing himself, if he doesn't have the courage to go to the yamen to make a public appearance, it means that there is a problem with his identity!
Really an old fox!
However, he thought about it, this level, he must pass, because he can't hide at home and hide in the village forever without going out, the more he drags it behind, the more unfavorable it is for himself, to be honest, he has been thinking about what kind of nonsense to make up during this time, and make up the matter of his disappearance for more than ten years.
If you can hide it from the county government and officially enter the yellow book, then no one will doubt your origin in the future, which is equivalent to the county government endorsing you.
Guo Dalu gritted his teeth: "Okay, I also want to go to the county to have a look, let's go together." ”
Guo Dalu cleaned up a little and explained a few words to Guo Jin, Guo Jin heard that it was on the yellow book, but he urged Guo Dalu to go, and asked him to listen to the words of the old village chief.
Guo Dalu and Brother Hao came to the house of the old village chief Zhu, and Brother Hao helped the old village chief pick up a burden, and then went out of the village.
Guo Dalu found out that there were many villagers who went out together, including a big girl, I saw her carrying a small burden, walking a pair of big feet, and also following the villagers.
The so-called three cities, that is, every day of the lunar calendar, in the big market outside the county, there will be a market spontaneously, and the villagers around will come to catch the market, which is a very lively day.
The villagers did not leave empty-handed, they did not go to Baixiang, but brought with them a lot of items made by their own families, such as straw sandals, bamboo baskets and other things, which were traded in the market and could be exchanged for rice and grain.
When the villagers saw Guo Dalu, they all greeted him with a smile, because the drip irrigation method invented by Guo Dalu allowed them to get rid of the heavy watering of kudzu grass and have more time to engage in side business.
Guo Dalu unexpectedly also saw a few big children waiting for the stupid big man, they were carrying several bundles of bamboo mats and other things, Brother Hao proudly told Guo Dalu that he and the stupid big man and others were ready to build a toilet in the market, just waiting to take out the toilet from the toilet.
Brother Hao took out a handful of small bamboo chips from his arms: "Brother Guo, look, this is what you said about boiling dung, cellar dung, and steaming dung, if someone comes to the toilet, I will give each person a piece." ”
Guo Dalu took a look, only to see that on the cleanly scraped bamboo chips, all kinds of methods of accumulating fertilizer were written in small characters, thinking that it was because Brother Hao'er's family did not have good paper, so he used bamboo chips instead, looking at the words, it was much better than his writing - he couldn't write traditional characters with a brush at all.
Guo Dalu patted Brother Hao'er on the shoulder: "Good memory, I just said it casually, you can remember it, and this word is also well written." ”
Brother Hao scratched his head: "I didn't write this word, my sister wrote it." ”
It was actually written by the big girl - I didn't expect the big girl to be literate and write, which is amazing, although Guo Dalu did not have an in-depth understanding of the era in which he lived, but ancient and modern China and foreign countries, before civilization and enlightenment, the status of women was not high, even a character like Sister Lin only dared to say that she had read a few books and recognized a few words, because the whole society looked down on women, and women were not encouraged to read and write.
The eldest girl is a few years younger than Guo Dalu, but she can write the method of accumulating fat that she casually said, which is very remarkable.
Guo Dalu couldn't help but glance at the big girl who was mixed in the villagers' pile from a distance, and the big girl happened to look at it too, but for some reason, the big girl suddenly blushed, turned her face and avoided Guo Dalu's sight.
It turned out that the eldest girl carried a handful of toffee in her baggage, and she always felt that she was a little sorry for him for the candy that Brother Guo gave her in exchange for food.
Houlong Village is far away from the county seat, the villagers set off before dawn, walking through the woods and mountains, a pair of iron feet walk fast, even a woman like a big girl is no exception, from time to time, there are other villagers in the village next to join this small team, many people and the villagers of Houlong Village are old acquaintances, greeting each other, talking and laughing.
Guo Dalu secretly observed, the villagers of several other villages are also thin and yellow, brought to the market to trade, but some bamboo and wood products, or wild mountain fruits, occasionally someone with a few chickens and ducks, it seems that the rural characteristics of the economy is not good, so far, Guo Dalu has not seen a villager with a large livestock -- it stands to reason that such a far mountain road, if you set an ox cart or donkey cart, it is much easier to walk, and you can bring more goods.
It seems that poverty and backward productive forces were common phenomena in the rural areas of the Great Li Dynasty.
The sky gradually brightened, the rugged dirt road under his feet turned into a gravel road, and then into a stone road, the road became wider and wider, and there were more villages next to it, and large fields were imprinted into view, some were kudzu grasslands, and some were planted with plants or trees that Guo Dalu did not know, but Guo Dalu was sure that these plants or trees were not food crops or economic fruit forests that he knew.
