Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 439 [Reunion after a long absence]

  At that time, he was riding on the elk, and he happened to be able to see the small and dense river workers like ants in the river in the distance. They use their insignificant power compared to the sky and the earth to change the terrain to affect the direction of the water flow.

  It is early spring and the temperature is still very low, but most of the main water conservancy work last winter has been completed. There are no loud and close-to-life chant ahead, but the soil exposed in the gullies that have been shoveled by thousands of picks and shovels, shoulder poles and bamboo baskets is still fresh.

  As the temperature rises, the section in the gully has melted slightly, and these water conservancy projects will be activated soon to welcome the first wave of spring water from upstream. They have different functions, some are used to divert floods, some are used to draw water, and some are used to divert water for irrigation.

  No canal is useless. They all have their own responsibilities. As long as the upstream ice and snow melt, they must take up the task to ensure the safety and happiness of one party. They will block and divert spring floods, and irrigate the surrounding continuous fields to make the fields plentiful.

  The luck of the human race is unabated. Even in this catastrophe, they were consciously attacked by the enemy and still stood. Projects like these water conservancy facilities also played a big role.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is these river workers who sweat like rain in winter, including those who organized them, as well as the people and craftsmen who provide various logistical support such as supplies in the rear, and all kinds of similar actions all over the world. It is the foundation that makes the luck of the race more tenacious.

  Fang Chang withdrew his thoughts and eyes, smiled at the land full of ravines, and then walked down the mountain.

  As the saying goes, "It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain", but for Fang Chang, it's faster to go down the mountain, but he still deliberately slows down the speed, just to see the scenery on both sides in more detail.

  He is a person who likes beautiful scenery, and now he has practiced the way of nature for many years, and he likes any situation between heaven and earth very much.

   Whenever there are rare mountains and rivers, even stones, trees, streams, flowers and plants, Fang Chang will be happy if he looks at them a few more times.

  The foot of the mountain gradually became populated with pedestrians.

  Farmers are driving cattle, or the whole family is walking in the field with a human plow, and they are plowing in spring. There are also some fields planted with winter wheat, waiting for the newly built canals to be irrigated with regreen water, so that two crops can be planted each year.

  The bustling villages and towns will soon make people ignore the desertedness in the itinerary.

  Fang Chang has quite a lot of gold, silver and exchange coins in his hand, which makes him very comfortable traveling all the way, avoiding the trouble of working everywhere or practicing fortune-telling to make money.

  Of course, this also made Fang Chang less opportunities to go deep into the market and meet various people.

   Maybe in the future, when the interest comes, I can play more of an identity and walk in the world.

  Of course, after this catastrophe is over, going down the mountain at that time will not be as purposeful and urgent as it is now. It will be more comfortable and casual, and more in line with the way Fang Chang is holding now.

   "The guest is joking, we don't have it here, you have to go to the town to see it."

  Hearing Fang Chang ask about the restaurants around, the young man in the village smiled and said that the poor people here are small and barren, and they are not adjacent to the official road, so they usually don’t come to business. There is not even a grocery store, let alone a restaurant.

  He told Chang Fang that if he wanted to have these, he would have to go to a town dozens of miles away.

   Fang Chang didn't say much about this, he thanked the boy, turned around and walked towards the town pointed by the boy.

  For the common people, it is very necessary to have a town among a group of villages.

  The town has an important regulatory function among several surrounding village settlements. There will be some industries that cannot be supported by the village, such as blacksmith shops, grain shops, grocery stores, earth temples, schools, etc.

  People will get the necessities of life from here, exchange products, or hold some group activities.

  The distance of tens of miles is very short for Fang Chang, and it takes almost a moment to arrive.

   Standing at the entrance of the town, Fang Chang looked at the town.

There is a not-so-wide official road passing through the town, on which people and carts come and go, next to this side of the official road, there are many sheds and pavements, and a wooden board with writing on it is stamped on the side. Signboards, similar sheds occupy half of the houses on the side of the town next to the official road.

  However, what caught his attention the most was that there were many people who came in and out with tools and listened to their conversations. These people were river workers. Most of the river workers have already finished their work and went home for the New Year. They may have been plowing in the spring now, and they are the only ones staying here, waiting for the finishing work after the spring.

   In fact, there are not many, mainly to activate various ditches.

  The deeper main trunk has been connected during the dry season in winter, and the rest are almost unconnected, mainly various branch canals. The amount of earthwork is not high and there is no danger, but some manpower is still needed.

  According to what they said, they will wait until the land is completely thawed before opening, just in time for irrigation in spring.

  Fang Chang's heart suddenly moved, and he walked in a certain direction.

Instead of looking for a restaurant, he walked through the streets and alleys. People around him could see him passing by, and they didn't turn a blind eye like he used to cast the spell of "why meet each other before", but no one would pay much attention to it. is unusual.

  He walked to a house in the town, and there were two soldiers standing guard at the gate.

  Seeing this man in white clothes with a long sword on his back approaching, the two soldiers became slightly vigilant, with their palms on their waist blades, they came up to inquire.

  Fang Chang bowed slightly and said: "Go and help pass the news, just say that an old friend is visiting."

  The soldiers were very puzzled, but the man in white looked very friendly in front of him, and subconsciously felt that he was not a thief, so he hesitated for a while, and then went to the courtyard to pass the news.

   When they heard the communication from the gatekeeper, the people in the room were puzzled, but they still talked to their subordinates, suspended the ongoing meeting, and came out to have a look. Since he didn't know who the visitor was, he didn't choose to invite someone in, but went out to greet him himself, which was relatively more cautious.

   Pushing open the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw someone coming.

  The man in white in front of him made him feel a little dazed for a while, and then his thoughts crossed the hardships of the past few years, and he remembered his teenage years.

He thought of the majestic and kind master who was also a teacher and father, the intimate elder brother, the cute and sometimes confused junior brother, the green Nanping Mountain, the village on the mountain and the village beside the village belonged to the teacher. The small courtyard with a few disciples, and the medicinal fragrance that lingered in the courtyard all year round, he also thought of the years of cultivation, Xianqi Cliff who had only stayed for a few days, and the identity of the person in front of him.

   "Mr. Fang, it's you!" Wei He shouted happily.

   Alas, I have been working a lot of overtime since the end of the year, which messed up my schedule.

   It's finally getting better these days, and I hope the update will return to normal as soon as possible.

   This month's update, I really feel sorry for everyone.
