Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 3 Earthworms (Please comment!)
After reading the scriptures, I fell asleep without knowing it.

When she woke up, Chen Yu put an end to today's lunch break while stretching.

He went to the kitchen and scooped a ladle of cold well water from the water tank to fill the water bag and tied it around his waist.

Looking up at the sky, I felt that the sun on the top was too bright, so I had to wear a bamboo hat to cover it up, so as not to fall to the ground due to heatstroke.

"I don't want to work."

He muttered to himself, but he still carried the soil pocket, walked out of the Taoist temple all the way, and walked towards the soil field.

In fact, the workload in the afternoon is not heavy, and it is estimated that it will be sunny a few days after the sky is bright.

But Chen Yu has a plan. Now that he has decided how much he will do today, even if he hasn't finished at all, he can't let it go.Just leave early, and finish the work in hand even under the scorching sun.

The most important thing is - don't delay tomorrow's wild fishing, it's a big deal.

Before going out, he naturally would not forget the bamboo tube stuffed with earthworms beside the pillar, and he took it with him, and he will dig the soil and open the canal later, maybe he can add a few more brothers and sisters to the little guys inside.

If there is one more at this time, there may be several more tomorrow.

Chen Yu was thinking about how lucky he would be tomorrow.

Taoist temple?It's okay to shut down for a day.

Anyway, this place is remote, and it is rare to see a benevolent person visit once in ten and a half months.

Morning gift?

He is a fake Taoist with half a bucket of water, so he doesn't need to follow those rules and regulations.

worship?

The big deal is to order two more before departure tomorrow morning.

Presumably the old man Tianzun would not mind.

In front of the courtyard, two rows of peach trees stand upright.

Chen Yu, who was passing by, looked up and down, and saw that it had begun to sprout, and it had changed into new green leaves. It was very gratifying to look at it.

Speaking of these peach trees, there is really a story.The peach tree was originally planted by the first generation of temple masters, but Yunhe Temple has been renovated and changed several times. Over the past few decades, the old trees have died and moved, and some of the trees that are growing vigorously today are the old Taoist priests who were the last generation of temple masters. It was planted when I left the teacher, and part of it was planted when the predecessor took over the position of the master of the temple.

That is to say, in the Yunhe Temple, there is such an unwritten rule, that is, the new temple mainly plants a few trees and puts them in front of the Taoist temple—it is estimated that the ancestor who made this tacit agreement thought that one day Qingtai Mountain will be clouded. In front of the crane view, the branches and leaves can also form a forest, and the green shade is like a field.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, not only the tree species left by the previous generations disappeared, but also the few trees planted by the old temple master and his predecessor almost died on the spot. If Chen Yu hadn't come in time, there would probably be only A decadent and withered silence remained.

Because he wanted to eat peaches and fruits in summer, and also to find something to do for himself, so in the first period of time after waking up, apart from cooking and researching food, he just got up early every day and thought about how to get rid of it. Peach tree rescued.

Maybe it was God's will, but he didn't know how to do it in the end, anyway, Peach Tree survived in a daze.

It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to shade and eat peaches.

……

Boom da!

Throwing the soil bag aside, he picked up the iron hoe on the side and carried it on his shoulders. Chen Yu didn't change his clothes at all in order to work.

I have been wearing this 'work clothes' all the time, and I am not afraid of getting wet and dirty.

Hey!In three or two steps, he walked to the expected position, stood firm, gestured, and then dug down with a hoe.

After a dull sound, the clods of mud turned out of the ground, were smashed and pushed to the side.

Gradually, a low and shallow soil ditch appeared under the feet, and the sides on both sides were filled with soil.

He threw off his arms and hooked the handle of the dirt bag not far away with a hoe, pulled it forward, then stepped on the front end with his feet, and pressed it against the bottom of the tail end.

The hands kept moving, the iron hoe was inserted into the mound, and most of the soil was easily packed into the pocket with a single hook.

Going back and forth like this, the two soil pockets are filled to the brim.

After wiping off his sweat, Chen Yu picked up the dirt bag and dumped it in a far corner.

After returning, he continued to dig with a hoe.

Time passed, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.At this time, Chen Yu had already put down the iron hoe, and had just picked up and dumped the last load of soil.

"knock off!"

After patting away the plaster, he looked at the ditches surrounding the fields in front of him with a smile on his face.Finally finished, the next step is to dig the soil and sow the seeds, but don't worry, these two things will not start until after the 'Pingyu'.

But before that, he can take a good rest for a while.

But when Chen Yu picked up the bamboo tube that was almost full of earthworms, he remembered that he still had something to do.

"Almost forgot about it."

With a mutter, he picked up the dirt bag and hoe and walked towards the Taoist temple.

Returning to the courtyard, he took two buckets of water to wash his sticky body briefly. The much refreshed Chen Yu changed into a blue and black Taoist robe, gathered his hair into a ball, and fixed it on the top with a bamboo stick.

The hairpin is the hairpin. In my memory, Yunhe Temple has passed down the five volumes of Dao Zang and the good-looking Taoist robe he is wearing now, and there is also a transparent jade hairpin.

It's a pity that it was lost when the old Taoist went down the mountain a few years ago. At that time, two senior brothers and one junior brother from his predecessor were also missing.

It was at this point that Yunhe Temple completely collapsed.

Before that, although the same reputation was not obvious, Taoist temples still had a lot of incense in dozens of villages, towns and even Shiya County under the mountain, and there were not many but not few pilgrims coming and going.

Unlike today, there is no one around from January to the end.

Fortunately, Chen Yu didn't mind, and he didn't have that obsession. Without the jade hairpin, wouldn't there be bamboo hairpins here?

If he hadn't had to deal with the incense philanthropist who might come up the mountain one day, he would have shaved off his hair, which is not too short, and it would have been a lot of trouble.

Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Yu smacked his lips. To be honest, he really wanted to shave his head bald and wear a Taoist robe, and sit under the solemn Taoist statue with a whisk in his hands. That scene, even thinking about it, was extraordinarily weird.

Shaking his head to dispel these incoherent thoughts, he picked up the bamboo tube in his hand, followed a plate from the kitchen, then turned the bamboo tube upside down, shook it a few times, and saw a fat red earthworm falling on the plate.

Tighten the cap and put it in place.

Chen Yu's eyes fell back on the earthworm.

After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his fingers and lightly pressed the other's body surface that was slightly covered with mud.

The earthworms are still wriggling and climbing, a little sensitive to light.

But at this moment, Chen Yu didn't care at all, he closed his eyes, sank into the depths of his consciousness, and after a short period of mist, a ray of white like skylight shone out.

Like rain, like fog, silver light lingers endlessly.

The outside world didn't show it at all, but there was a huge wave in the chaotic and misty ocean of consciousness.

The waves are rough and the water mist rises.

Countless illusory lights flew out from the sea, most of them dissipated suddenly, only a few were captured by inexplicable forces and gathered in a corner.

Coagulate and solidify.

Turned into specks of light, hanging quietly.

At this moment, Chen Yu pried that place and wrapped one of them in front of him.

As soon as the thought moved, it was pushed from the fingertips into the earthworm's body along with the consciousness.

After a long time, Chen Yu finally opened his eyes.

Huh, let out a long breath, he retracted his fingers and kneaded them back and forth, only to feel that the finger bones were a little numb, as if they had been wrapped in ice water for three to five quarters in the cold winter of Lajiu.

After rubbing it twice, he turned his eyes and looked at the earthworm on the plate—even though it was red, he could vaguely see some dimness in the link, but now it changed its appearance, the red was like a flame, and there was no trace of it. children motley.The body is round and round, and the smell of mud is gone.The ring-shaped leucorrhea that was originally hanging on the body is gone. Looking at the whole body, it looks more like a piece of art carved from ruby ​​than the original long-sleeved bug.

The change is not that big.

Of course, having had several experiences, he knows that the real change has just begun. Even if the investment is not much this time, it will not be able to digest it in a short time for the earthworm in front of him.

But no matter how you change it, it is still just an earthworm, and it cannot become a giant dragon.

Chen Yu put it away and planned to watch it tomorrow. If the result is really not satisfactory, just feed the fish.

Presumably this big red and strong earthworm will definitely attract many big fish.

In this way, at least tomorrow's bait is safe.
