Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 1356 Village Life

After a month of hard work, the bamboo house was finally completed.

Looking at the brand new bamboo house in front of her, Xu Chunliang felt an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment in her heart.

She once set up an immortal mansion in the fourth heaven, but that immortal mansion was built by her using magical powers, and it was far less to her liking than the bamboo house in front of her.

The bamboo house is not big, but it looks transparent and natural. It is pleasant to look at and pleasant to live in.

Next to the bamboo house, a small piece of soil was opened up, and some seeds she found in the mountains were sprinkled into it.

It's just that these seeds have just been sown and have not yet sprouted.

The soil has been cultivated and the seeds have been planted. Next, it is time to divert the canals for irrigation.

Xu Chunniang carried a simple hoe made of bamboo on her back and walked from the bamboo house towards the stream.

When she arrived at the stream, she chose a place with fast water and higher ground, and dug a ditch.

Following her movements, the clear stream slowly flowed along the ditch, winding towards the eastern suburbs.

The entire wasteland in the eastern suburbs is nourished by streams.

Xu Chunniang's various actions have fallen into the eyes of everyone in Taoyuan Village.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Don't she know that she can only stay here for ninety-nine and eighty-one days?

Time was tight, so she did not try her best to pick the fruits of Xuanmu. Instead, she opened up wasteland and built a house in the eastern suburbs, as if she wanted to live here for a long time, which was a bit interesting. "

"This woman is not old. She has access to four of the Nine Divine Apertures. She should be a well-known person in the outside world, but in our Taoyuan Village, such things are not popular."

"Looking at how steady she is, she seems to be a person of good character. It's a pity..."

The person who sent the message shook his head and did not finish his words.

Others already understood what he had not finished saying.

She is just a stranger. After a short stay, she will leave here sooner or later.

Soon, someone revealed the topic.

"Come, come, drink tea, drink tea. I made this tea tree myself. Come and taste it."

"Tsk, the fragrance is more than enough, the aftertaste is not enough, and it is slightly astringent."

"Really? Which step went wrong? I'll make it again when I turn around."

After a brief discussion, everyone no longer paid attention to the changes in the eastern suburbs and continued with the matters at hand.

On the other side, after successfully diverting the canal to irrigate the fields, Xu Chunniang returned to the newly built bamboo house, but she was also thinking about whether to take the initiative to say hello to the villagers in the village.

During this month, although she didn't have much interaction with the villagers, she received a lot of guidance and care from them.

She has to show her sincerity, affection and reason, to express her feelings.

With this idea in mind, Xu Chunniang went into the mountain again carrying a bamboo basket and a borrowed ax.

She didn't have anything useful on her, but there was a lot of vegetation in the mountains, and there might be some things that the villagers could use.

A few days later, Xu Chunniang came down the mountain.

She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand and several bundles of firewood on her back.

Everyone in Taoyuan Village is self-sufficient, and every household needs firewood for cooking, and firewood is a necessity.

As for the bamboo basket, there were some pine cones and fresh berries that she had worked hard to pick.

These pine cones and berries were picked with great difficulty by her after walking in the mountains for a long time. People in the village should like them.

Xu Chunniang went down the mountain and went to a house at the head of the village. This family was the old man she asked for directions before.

The old man looked cold, but he was warm-hearted. The ax in her hand was lent to her by the old man.

"Uncle Tang, I'm here to return the axe."

As Xu Chunniang spoke, she untied a bundle of firewood from her back and placed it outside the kitchen.

Uncle Tang, who was basking in the sun at the door, opened his eyes and frowned displeased.

"Return the ax when you return the ax. Why are you helping me chop wood?"

"It's just convenient. I can't borrow your ax for nothing."

Xu Chunniang smiled and took out a few pine cones and a handful of berries wrapped in leaves from the basket on her back, and handed them to the old man.

"Thanks to your care in the past month, my bamboo house was successfully completed. Here are some wild game from the mountains, please try it."

Uncle Tang glanced at the pine cones and berries that Xu Chunniang handed over, and shook his head in disapproval, "You have a difficult life and can only eat grass roots every day. Keep these things for yourself."

Having said that, seeing Xu Chunniang insisting on giving it, Uncle Tang still took the pine cone and berries.

He picked up a blue berry and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste made him smile slightly.

"When I first came to Taoyuan Village, I always liked to run into the mountains when I had nothing to do. I also ate a lot of wild fruits in the mountains. However, I have not been fond of going to the mountains in recent years, but I haven't tasted these wild fruits in the mountains for a while."

Xu Chunniang smiled sheepishly, "As long as Uncle Tang likes it."

After leaving Uncle Tang's house, Xu Chunniang went to Aunt Zhang's yard next door and also sent a bundle of firewood and some game.

She had to go into the mountains to cut bamboo every day. Even though she was very careful, her clothes inevitably got a few cuts.

One time when she was washing clothes by the stream, Aunt Zhang saw that her clothes were torn, so she gave her a box of needlework.

Aunt Zhang took the pine cone and berries, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed.

"Good boy, is it difficult to settle down in Taoyuan Village alone? If you have any difficulties, just tell Aunt Zhang."

Xu Chunniang's heart warmed, "Aunt Zhang, thank you. I want to buy an iron pot and buy some cooking utensils, but I don't know who to call?"

"It's not difficult. I happen to have a spare iron pot, so you can just use it.

As for the cooking utensils... Old Li at the end of the village is the kiln maker. If you send him two bundles of firewood, add some pine cones and berries, you can almost get some cooking utensils back. "

Xu Chunniang said gratefully, "Thank you Aunt Zhang... But, wouldn't it be a little hard to get rid of a little firewood and game?"

"What's wrong with this? In our Taoyuan Village, we don't have to pay so much attention, as long as you have this intention."

Aunt Zhang said as she took out an iron pot from the kitchen and handed it to Xu Chunniang, "Take it, I will take you to find Lao Li."

Xu Chunniang took the iron pot and followed Aunt Zhang obediently to the end of the village.

When they reached the end of the village, Aunt Zhang crossed her hands and shouted loudly.

"Lao Li, Lao Li? Are you at home?"

With a "squeak" sound, the ajar door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with a unshaven beard walked out.

He glanced at Aunt Zhang and smiled honestly, "Aunt Zhang, why are you calling me?"

Aunt Zhang made a "thump" sound and said with great enthusiasm.

"What else can happen? This girl just came to Taoyuan Village and she doesn't have any pots or bowls. I'm thinking that you are burning the kiln at home all day long and there are mountains of porcelain at home, so I will help you lighten the burden."

"So that's it. I can't guarantee anything else, but I have too many cooking utensils here."
