Chapter [-] Repairing bridges and repairing roads

But those who have accepted everyone's help will not forget these things!There are very few people in the mountains who can read and write, but they keep these favors in mind and must find a way to return them!
When Xia Kai heard this, since he was doing as the Romans do, he had no choice but to give up!
Laying the foundation on Nanshan made everyone in the village sweat a lot. In the past, some people wanted to build houses on this mountain, but they thought that the stones under the foundation could not be dug, so they had to give up.

To the surprise of the villagers, when the floating soil and gravel were excavated at the place designated by Xia Kai, the hillside turned out to be a natural housing foundation. Two-story building.

After the foundation is laid, the shelves of the room need to be built with wood and stones, and some materials need to be purchased. Stones and clay are everywhere here, but there is no need to buy them.

However, wood cannot be cut and used immediately, and dry wood is needed.Fortunately, the villagers of Sunjia Village rely on the mountains to eat mountains. While logging for the family, they also have spare wood for their own, and the price is quite cheap.

Xia Kai purchased wood from each household and paid at the market price. This time it was a transaction. The villagers did not refuse to accept the money, but they felt that they were taking advantage of the price and were unwilling to ask for so much money.

But Xia Kai said that he took advantage of it, because he saved the shipping fee. The implication is that if the villagers do not trade at this price, they can only go to the Huayuan City Market to buy it, and the villagers took the money with peace of mind. .

Build the walls with stones, and make the walls with planks.Xia Kai didn't need to worry about these tasks. Sun Leqing led everyone to use a kind of juice made from rattan and glutinous rice and yellow mud to build stone walls. It is very strong!
In fact, the quality of the house really doesn't matter much to Xia Kai. He and He Yuanying can arrange a formation and cast a spell to make the room extremely strong!

But for Xia Kai's residence, Sun Leqing obviously wouldn't cut corners, he instructed the villagers to build the house solidly and beautifully!

After more than a month, the house was completed. Although it looked simple and unusual from the outside, the shape and structure of the room was simple and elegant, revealing a bookish atmosphere. Xia Kai was very satisfied with it.

……

After He Yuanying and Xia Kai separated, they did not rush to Xia's house immediately, but meditated in a hidden place deep on the top of the mountain, keeping an eye on the speed of building the house.

On this day, He Yuanying reckoned that the house would be completed in a few days, so he went to Niyang County.

He Yuanying finished some work at Xia's house, just in time for the second day after the house was completed, she brought seven or eight servants assigned by Xia's house, drove two carriages, and pulled furniture and luggage to Sunjia Village.

Because the main road was separated by a small river, the villagers helped together to move the things on the carriage to the ground.

He Yuanying led the chef to cook, while Xia Kai directed the people to arrange furniture and clean up. It only took half a day, and more than 20 houses were neatly tidied up and put into use.

At that time, there was a distinction between inside and outside. There were only ten houses in the first entrance, and the residences, kitchens, living rooms, and guest rooms of the servants were all in the first entrance, and only He Yuanying and his wife lived in the second entrance.

The yard is not small. Although there are no walls around it, it is surrounded by bamboo fences, so it looks quite safe.

After everything was tidied up, Xia Kai began to read and practice calligraphy. He had a very precise grasp of the time, and his morning reading every morning became the bell for the villagers to wake up their children.

Xia Kai's eyes and ears are sensitive, and he can hear their strange shouts: "Big fool, get up and herd the cows, Mr. Xia has read the book several times... Mr. Xia has read the book, Er Gouzi, get up and shoot pigweed... "

The hostess, He Yuanying, did not hide in the house as an embroidery female red, but led a few servants to plant flowers and plants in front of and behind the house.

The other servants bought high-quality solid wood, invited several master carpenters, and built three large wooden bridges at several important points of the small river. Do have guardrails.

Along the embankment of the small river is the main road for the people of Sunjia Village to come and go. After the bridge was repaired, Xia Kai led the people to repair the road in his spare time and filled up the missing parts of the road.

Xia Kai also led the servants to plant willow trees beside the road, which can provide shade for pedestrians and prevent the embankment from collapsing.

Xia Kai's experience in the world of mortals is mainly to improve his state of mind. To put it a bit mysteriously, it is also a process of accumulating merit. In this mountain village, repairing bridges and roads is a great act of kindness.

Doing good deeds can accumulate merit, but in cities and towns, there are many rich people who do good deeds, which is a bit sour. In those towns, there are some so-called "houses of good deeds". It's making friends with the government.

Of course, there are also some rich people who do good deeds sincerely, because they have done too many bad deeds in the process of making money, and hope to use some money to "spend money and avoid disasters", just for peace of mind!

But whether it is true or false, as long as you do good deeds, you still have merit!

After Xia Kai and He Yuanying lived here, they didn't really live in seclusion. Xia Kai studied Chinese and calligraphy every day, and occasionally continued his bridge and road repair.

He Yuanying led those servants to reclaim wasteland everywhere on Nanshan Mountain every day and plant all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs. The whole Sunjia Village exudes a refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants when the flowers bloom.

Maybe it's the relationship between status and family status. Xia Kai's family has something to do, and the villagers are eager to help, but they don't have many contacts on weekdays.

In an emergency, the villagers would still come to Mr. Xia for advice. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, a scholar is also a remarkable figure, who seems to be omnipotent!

It is very practiced here that "a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out!" It is a matter of course to find Xia Kai for important matters!

In this mountain village, sickness is a common major event. Some children broke their arms and legs because of naughty children, and some were old and weak and suddenly became seriously ill. They would all come to Mr. Xia.

They really got it right. Mr. Xia is truly omnipotent, especially his medical skills!
Speaking of medicine and alchemy, it is not the director of Xia Kai, it is not suitable for practicing medicine.

But when he chose to make a living, Xia Kai still chose to practice medicine to help the world and save people, mainly for the purpose of quickly accumulating merit!
In the secular world, there is a saying that "saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda", which shows that it is a great merit for a doctor to help the world and save people.

Secondly, because of He Yuanying's excellent medical skills and alchemy skills, Xia Kai practiced the art of bone setting a little bit, and then added the panacea refined by He Yuanying. It is really not difficult for him to become a famous doctor!
