Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 3 Mysterious Space
Kikyo's heart suddenly turned cold, wanting to give herself away? !
What can a girl do as a gift, it must be that someone who can’t afford a wife wants to be a child bride. There are many child brides in the village, and I haven’t seen how they live. No matter how poor this family is, at least the parents are their own. If they were given away, it would be like jumping into a pit of fire!
She was thinking about whether she should stand up and object, but she heard the grandma who lived in the hut suddenly yelled: "You two are heartless! What are you thinking, you want to give away my bellflower, I am such a sensible granddaughter , you still want to give her away! Why are you parents, why didn't you get given away back then!"

Kikyo's heart calmed down a bit, and he usually had a good relationship with his grandma, but at the critical moment, the old lady spoke to him.

Qiao Mantun lay on the kang and cried too, and said: "Mother, it's not that we are cruel, isn't it that we really can't afford it? It's a joke if we don't have a son, and we have no hope when we are old. , there are six of them..."

Grandma Jiejiao was even more angry, she sat up on the kang and cursed: "If you can't afford it, give it away. Your father and I raised seven of you back then. Which one was given away? All five of your sisters are well married. If you are so unambitious, don’t you all have to give it away..."

She got off the kang while scolding, came from the kitchen to the hut, groped onto the kang, hugged Zanthoxylum bungeanum and dragged it up, saying: "Jiangyou, go with grandma, don't stay with your heartless parents..."

Kikyo turned over and sat up quickly, and said, "Grandma, I'm Kikyo, and what you're holding is Zanthoxylum bungeanum."

Grandma put down the prickly ash and picked her up again. She didn't put on her shoes, so she carried her and walked outside.

Qiao Mantun sat up on the kang and shouted, "Mother, where are you taking the platycodon root? It's midnight!"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take her to hang herself and I won't let you give her away!"

"Mom, why don't I give it away?"

But grandma Jijiao had a stubborn temper, and she would not come back even if he shouted.

At this time, Fennel, who was temporarily squeezed to sleep on the woodpile in the outhouse, was woken up, got up and chased her out, dragged her grandma and shouted: "Grandma, what are you going to do, don't die, don't take the bellflower to die!"

Afraid of scaring Fenix, Grandma Jiejiao said in a low voice, "My grandma will not die. Grandma will take Jiejiao to your fifth aunt's new house to sleep."

"Miss, are you serious?"

"Really, go back to sleep."

After finishing speaking, Grandma Jiejie went to the side of the vegetable garden and pulled a sack that had been placed there during the day to hold potatoes, and walked towards the village with her arms in her arms.

Four of Jijiao's five aunts married to other villages, and only the fifth aunt married the old Li's family in the village. Although life was tight, this year they were building a new house. The outer frame of the house was piled up a while ago Get up, leave the roof, windows and doors untouched, and let them dry in the sun. When the walls are completely dry, you can continue to cover them.

The grandparents and grandchildren entered the house with only one outer frame. Grandma spread the sack on the floor, lay on one side by herself, patted the flat sack and said, "Come on, Kikyo, lie down and sleep."

Kikyo lay down next to her grandma, seemingly sleeping obediently, but she was thinking about being given away.

After a while, grandma seemed to have fallen asleep. Kikyo turned over slightly and lay flat on the sack, looking at the square sky surrounded by the house frame above her head. The stars in the sky seemed to be sprinkled with finely divided rice. She really wanted to fly over and put the "rice" away...

Looking at it, she actually felt that her body was so light, as if she was flying.

She turned her head to look to the side, and suddenly found that the surroundings had changed. The frame of the house disappeared, the starry sky disappeared, grandma disappeared, and even the darkness disappeared.

Instead, there was a vast expanse of white light from no source. The light was neither strong nor weak, soft and quiet, and it was very comfortable to bathe in it.

She suddenly sat up from the ground, looked around in surprise, and exclaimed, "Where is this? How did I come here? Grandma, grandma, where are you..."

But after calling for a long time, no one answered.

She stood up from the ground, saw a big tree not far away, and walked over slowly.

The big tree grew strangely, it was a species she had never seen in two lifetimes, and it was a tree that was going to die soon, except for a few tiny green leaves left on the tip of the branch, the other leaves were all gone. Yellow and dry, hanging dry on the branches.

She circled the big tree twice, and felt that although the tree was about to die, it had an indescribable spirituality, and she could even feel that it wanted to save it.

Kikyo looked down at the roots of the tree, the soil on the ground was black, black and black like coal, but at this time it was as hard as coal.

"Hey, where are we going to find water?" She mused to herself and looked up, but the sky was also completely white, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all.

She withdrew her gaze and walked to the distance, hoping to find some water source here, otherwise the tree would really die of drought.

She walked around without direction, and saw patches of dry seedlings passing by. Although she knew many crops, she had never seen these things before.

These things are not comparable to that big tree. It has been dry for an unknown period of time, and it is already dead to the point where it can't die anymore, and it will turn into powder when touched a little.

"The drought here is like this, there must be no water source..."

She thought in disappointment, but still instinctively moved forward.

But I didn't expect that after walking a long way, I actually saw a small spring water.

It's just that this spring water seems to be drying up soon, and there is only a puddle as big as a bowl, and the surrounding land is soaked by it for a distance of one meter, but nothing grows for a distance of one meter, so it is alone Where.

Kikyo knelt down to pick up some and tasted it first. The spring water was sweet and refreshing, and after drinking it, the body felt indescribably comfortable.

"It's really good water. It should prolong life. I'll bring some back to grandma later..."

While thinking about it, she looked around, trying to find something to water the big tree, but she couldn't find anything, so she had no choice but to hold it in her hands and walk back.

When she walked back to the big tree carefully, there was only a little bit of water left in her hand.

She sprinkled the little water on the roots of the tree despondently, thinking that holding the water with her little hands like this would water the big tree alive without running for a month, which was simply an impossible project for herself.

While she was disappointed, she looked at the ground, but saw that the little water she sprinkled had wetted the long-dry ground to a size of one foot.

She was a little surprised, it seems that the small spring water is really a spiritual spring, since it has such miraculous effects, then this big tree really has hope.

She gained momentum and immediately turned around and ran towards the spring again. On the way back, she saw that the water droplets she had sprinkled along the way turned into wet spots, and the land was also moistened.
