Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 120 Get Water and Go Elsewhere

Early the next morning, the family of five went out separately.

Zhuifeng took the carriage to the place agreed with Lao Huang and others, and then a group of six went to the mountains.

Wen Ya went out after breakfast to look for Qian Er Er, while Shi An held a sail and set up a stall on the fortune-telling street.

In order not to delay the auspicious time of visiting teachers in the afternoon, Qingyu and Hongtao set off before dawn, but in summer it dawns early, and when they arrived at the field, the farmers had already started working in the field.

Qingyu brought the hearts to the first piece of Hezi land, which was [-]% less than an acre. The soil was dry and hard, and the crops in the field were also withered. It looked like a wasteland.

The tenant Lao Ma was digging the ground according to the method taught by the new owner yesterday. He accidentally saw two children on the ridge of the field. After a closer look, they were the daughters of the new owner. He greeted them with a smile.
"Son, why are you here? Isn't your father going into the mountains to buy medicine seeds today?"

Qingyu responded with a smile: "I brought my elder sister to play, and my father has gone into the mountains."

"Just the two of you? Where are the other adults in your family?" The old horse looked around, but he didn't see anyone except the farmer.

"We'll be back in a while." Qing Yu squatted on the ground, catching the jumping grasshopper.

"Hey, then you have to go back quickly. It's just the two of you. How dare you run so far. Don't you live in the city? How far have you run? Twenty or thirty miles, the adults in the family should die of anxiety."

"I'll go back with Elder Sister in a while." Qingyu obediently responded, looking at Hongtao.

While burying the windmill on the edge of the land, Hongtao exclaimed: "As expected of Hezi Land, Feng Shui is so bad, and the crops are grown like this, I don't blame him. But such a poor land can be rented by him, his vision is amazing." Really bad."

"Senior Sister." Qing Yu hurriedly glanced at the old horse, but luckily the latter swung his hoe vigorously, so he didn't hear each hoe.

Qingyu looked at Hongtao helplessly, "Be careful what you say."

Heart sticks out her tongue embarrassingly, "Got it."

After burying the windmill, watching the air of the earth's veins flowing on the ground rotate along the windmill and flow to the four sides of the field, Heart patted the mud on her hands with satisfaction: "Okay, anything can be planted in this field now."

Qing Yu got up, bid farewell to the old horse, and then continued to the next piece of land with the hearts.

Seeing that the two of them were not walking towards the main road, the old horse called again: "Children, aren't you going back? Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Uncle Zhang's field to play." Qing Yu knew that Lao Ma was afraid they would get lost, so she told them where to go.

Lao Zhang's field was not far from here. Lao Ma saw that the two of them were heading in that direction, so he felt relieved, and continued to bend down to hoe the field. Unexpectedly, with a violent swing of the hoe, the entire hoe blade was completely destroyed. sink into the ground.

The old horse was very surprised, the ground was dry and hard, how could it be so easy to hoe all of a sudden?
When the soil was shoveled up, the originally whitish, hard and hard soil turned dark brown, moist and sticky to hands.

The old horse was so startled that he hoeed several times in a row, all the same.He didn't believe in evil, so he continued to hoe a few times in another place, but the result was the same.

The old horse squatted down, pinched the somewhat cool soil, watched the worms in the soil turn over, and was stunned for a long time before spreading the sweater on the ground, grabbing a few handfuls of soil, carefully wrapping it in the sweater and putting it on the ground. On the edge of the ridge.

32 pieces of land, together with the need to change Feng Shui, actually took nearly three hours, and by the time the work was over, it was already past noon.

The scorching sun was shining in the sky, Hearts was pulling the sweat-soaked front to ventilate, her face was flushed with heat, sweat dripped down her forehead and cheeks, and some rolled into her eyes before she had time to wipe it off. A piece of astringent pain.

Qing Yu fanned her with a homemade leaf fan, "Second Senior Sister, you have worked hard."

Hongtao squinted her eyes, clutched her back that was a little stiff, and walked slowly towards the road, speaking weakly, "Who made us short of money, this little bit of suffering, we deserve it."

Qingyu smiled, looked at the farmers who hadn't finished their work, and murmured: "There is no idle land in the world, and the farmers are starving to death."

"Huh?" Heart was so tired that she was absent-minded, and some didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing."

When the two returned home, it was too late. There was only Shi'an in the house, and the meals had already been prepared, and they were waiting for them in the pot.

After washing their faces in hot water and changing into clean clothes, the two felt much more refreshed.

Seeing that they had finished cleaning up, Shi An put food on the table and said, "Elder Sister didn't come back at noon, so she probably ate outside."

The three of them sat down to eat, and when Shi'an talked about the fortune-telling at the market, he had a helpless smile on his face, "After all, I seem to be too young, no one believes me, and my business is the worst on the street."

Qing Yu comforted: "Take your time, everything has just begun.

As long as there is one person to count, there will be two, four, and more and more people to count in the future. No one can match the elder brother's fate. I believe that as long as you have counted, it will be spread by word of mouth. "

Shi An hummed, and took a piece of meat for Qingyu and Hongtao.

"It's better not to collect money first, and then collect the fee after counting 50 people. In this way, the previous 50 people will definitely bring their relatives and friends over, and gradually, they will be able to spread the word." Qing Yu said again.

"I know." After drinking a bowl of porridge, Hongtao finally had the strength to speak, "This is called putting a long line and catching big fish."

After the meal, Shi'an fetched the sail, and added the word "free of charge" in front of the word "fortune-telling", which was like a horned dragon, majestic and majestic, just by looking at the words, it could attract people to stop and look at them a few more times.

Qingyu and Hongtao were admiring and appreciating the words, when they heard the shout outside, "Is anyone home?", Hongtao stood up suddenly, "My apprentice is here." She was about to answer the door.

"Wait." Qing Yu grabbed her tightly, "The voice came from the direction of the back door, and it didn't sound like San Zen."

Heart listened carefully, and it really didn't look like it. The voice sounded a little scared, not confident, and seemed extremely reluctant.A little curious, "Who would that be?"

"I'm afraid it's a resident of Jiuquli. I guess they saw people coming and going here and wanted to fetch water." Shi'an guessed.There are still three families living in this alley.

"Then shall we answer the door?" Hongtao looked at Qingyu.

Qingyu sighed slightly and smiled helplessly, "Leave him alone. Even if he doesn't fetch water here, he has his own place to fetch water."

The three of them were quiet for a while, until the sound outside stopped, Qingyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that we have to hurry up." After all, it is not easy to reduce 400 taels to 120 taels.

The sun was shining in the afternoon, and there were no adults at home, so Shi'an stayed at home. Not long after the "three children" were idle, Sanchan took his disciples to the dust and came to pay homage to the master with a bunch of repairs.

Seeing Chen, Hong Tao was holding a chicken and duck that was still flapping its wings in her left hand, and two pieces of bacon in her right hand. After thinking for a while, she sent Liao Chen to build a chicken shed with Shi An, and then put a stool in the main room by herself. Before leaving, he prepared tea and taught Sanzen to worship his teacher with Taoist etiquette.

Just as Sanzen offered tea awkwardly, before he could say "Master", Hongtao stood up abruptly, staring at the sky in the distance and shouted happily: "The evil spirit is soaring, how much resentment is there, hurry up, apprentice, Here comes the money."
