Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 396 [It’s not the opposite]

  The waterfall fell into the pool with a roar, splashing strings of water, reflecting the sun crystal clear.

  Fang Chang was busy with all kinds of trivial matters in summer and autumn, and didn't free up his hands to use the potential energy of this waterfall, so it is still undeveloped.

  The water pool is still full of vitality, among which fish and turtles swim happily, and the number has formed a balance.

  Cross a few mountains and you will be in the world.

  Linxi Village is also brimming with happiness, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

  The most gratifying thing is that after the government changed the Bo people, it also reduced this year's tax. This means that more food can be saved this year, and when the new year is over, they can add a few feet of cloth to the family and buy half a catty of sugar.

   Moreover, because Lin Hai, the most capable and well-informed young man in the village, has opened up a lot of medicine fields, he grows them himself and sells them, and he also teaches his neighbors to grow medicines together, which makes the income of the village even better.

In addition, guests who come from south to north for the medicinal materials of Linxi Village will always stay in the village for a while, get some food and drink, or stay for two days. Although they cannot support formal inns and restaurants, the villagers have gained a lot of popularity because of these. benefit.

   There is also a rumor in the village that Lin Hai has a destiny method, and he was blessed by a fairy back then to make such a great cause.

  Similarly, the story that the village was cut off from the water by the pangolin demon and rescued by the immortal has also become a legend. In this place of origin, this incident has also been distorted by the passage of time. Even in the mouths of those who have witnessed it, it also has some imaginative and legendary colors.

  This makes the story richer and more enjoyable, but it also makes it more distant from the audience. People who came here often asked a few questions, listened to it with relish, and lamented that the two sentences were not scary enough, and they could not be taken back to coax the children, and then exchanged with their own stories to pass the long and boring time.

  Of course they are dubious, just like they are dubious about the existence of gods in the temple, and they have never had the motivation to explore whether the rumor that "there are immortals on the mountain" is true.

  Almost all the audience just passed it by with a smile, and some villagers argued to no avail, and after a long time, they didn’t bother to talk anymore, and even they themselves didn’t quite believe whether what they saw at the beginning was true.

  In short, life always goes on day by day, and the difference between tomorrow and yesterday will not be very big.

As his xinxing got closer, Fang Chang is now away from home, and the time to use the technique of "why meet each other" is less, and more often, he just walks on the street like ordinary people, observing and listening. things around.

  When I walked to the entrance of the village, there was an old man who knew me and greeted me respectfully.

  Fang Chang waved his hand in return, and continued to pass through the village.

  Lin Hai's residence has changed a lot. For the business of planting medicine, he used the money he earned to hire people to expand the courtyard and homestead, and built sheds and houses in the fenced yard to protect against wind and rain.

  At this time, the sun is shining brightly, and various medicinal materials are drying in the yard, and Lin Hai and a few young people from the village are preparing them with corresponding methods.

  This makes the village filled with a faint fragrance mixed with many kinds of medicinal materials.

   "Is Mr. Lin Hailin at home?"

  There were a few people dressed in rebel uniforms knocking on the door, Lin Hai hurriedly ordered a few words to greet them, and then a few rebel soldiers entered the yard amicably, without looking for a seat, they just stood there to discuss matters with Lin Hai.

  It turns out that the front line needs a lot of medicinal materials. They came here to scan the goods, and by the way, scheduled to produce next year.

  At first, the rebels wanted as much as they wanted, but Lin Hai mentioned that the common people also needed some of these commonly used medicinal materials, so the two sides had a serious discussion and decided on an 80% amount.

  They also encouraged Lin Hai to expand the planting area, and stated that no matter how much it will produce next year, the rebels will have 80% of it.

  Fang Chang didn't stop walking, and the people in the yard didn't notice him.

  Passing through the village, you can see the situation in the surrounding terraced fields. All the corn has been harvested, but some bales of grain and straw are still thrown in the field and have not been transported back in time. And the medicine fields on the hillside are neatly tended, and some perennial and winter-picked plants are still flourishing.

  The official road is not far after going down the mountain, and there are still dense pedestrians on the official road.

  The military disasters throughout the world did not affect the nearby prefectures, so this place is still prosperous.

  The passing chariots, donkeys, mules, pedestrians, and porters, taking advantage of the high autumn air, rush back and forth, either for the future, or for wealth, or just for the New Year's Eve, most of them are in a hurry. Only those wealthy families whose parents carry children on their backs, and those wealthy families who are not engaged in childbirth but have a lot of food and clothing, can feel at ease.

   Putting the bamboo hat on his head, Fang Chang walked south along the official road.

  Of course, the purpose of Fang Chang’s trip this time is to the extreme north, so it’s not a long way to go south. He was just planning to go west from Huqiao Town to Huaifeng Mansion, and then go north from Huaifeng Mansion. After all, going this way would be more crowded, and it would be more interesting than going north directly through Yunzhong Mountain from Xianqi Cliff.

  The scenery outside Huqiao Town is the same as before. As an important traffic place on this road, there are also people and cars coming and going.

The water in Baigou River is very turbulent, including Huanhua River, which is also swollen due to autumn water. It is said that a hundred years ago, this kind of water would often cause large-scale disasters. Ordinary hydrology.

The stone bridge and stele at the entrance of the town are still the same, and there are still passers-by pointing to these two scenes and telling the story of the tiger crouching back then. In the bag, as food to satisfy hunger on the road, or take it home to give the wife, children and parents a novelty.

  Fang Chang went to exchange some money with precious metals and put it in his backpack as usual, and then bought a few high-quality sorghum wine at the tavern in the town that had better business because of this year's bumper harvest.

   According to the previous practice, he walked to the mutton noodle stall.

  The tables and chairs there were full, and the aroma wafted back and forth on the street. Xu Lianrong and his wife were busy. The noodles on the board were quickly pulled into thin slices and thrown into the splashing pot like flowing water. The process was pleasing to the eye, just like art.

   "A bowl of mutton noodles with two poached eggs."

   "Alright~!"

  Xu Lianrong responded, and her husband and her hands kept moving.

   Soon, as usual, a bowl of steaming hot and beautiful mutton noodles was placed in front of Fang Chang. The white ones in the bowl are boiled noodles, the dark brown ones are fat and thin mutton slices, the green ones are green onions, and the golden ones are fried eggs. There are some sesame oil flakes floating on the noodle soup, and the aroma is tangy.

   It tastes soft and smooth, the meat is tender and fragrant, and the edges of the fried poached eggs are crispy, which is very smooth, and there seems to be a slight improvement in the method.
