Mozun is forced to farm

Chapter 24

To be precise, the tree looks like half a door frame.

Because the nutrients were not absorbed enough, when they went out in the morning, the peach buds were no higher than their knees, but now they have reached half of their thighs, showing a more specific shape.

It stretches like a concave character, and there should obviously be a door in the middle, but it is still empty, and there is nothing to touch.

The two dogs stood by the peach tree, one on the left and the other on the right, sticking out their tongues and having fun, showing the pride of having bred a special breed by themselves.

Xie Xuechen squatted next to Xiao Taozhi and roughly gestured. He felt that it was indeed like a door frame with the width of a person's shoulders, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait to see the whole picture.

He made a fortune at a glance, and the latter wagged his tail hard.

"Wang!"

I really can't pull it anymore! !

After dinner in the evening, a few neighbors came over with baskets. Seeing the strange-looking little tree, they stopped to take a closer look, but they didn't understand what it was.

Lin Zhu was originally worried about letting Xie Mingyan wash the dishes alone in the kitchen, but when he saw a guest coming, he hurried over to greet him.

"Aunt Qin! Uncle Huang! Why are you here!"

There was a bang from the kitchen, probably from a slippery hand.

Aunt Qin carried a large basket of Qingming beans and picked several loofahs.

Uncle Huang next to him laughed so that his eyes and eyebrows came together: "Look, look, this Xiaoxie of your family is silent on the surface, but in fact, he works quietly every night and helps us to help our crops! How embarrassing! !"

Lin Zhu turned his head and raised his voice: "Xie Xuechen!!"

Are you going to arrange and combine other people's land in the middle of the night again! !

There was the sound of flipping books in the house.

Bookish Shen Dantian: "Xie—Xing—"

The man drifted over to take the food basket: "You're welcome, I should do it."

Lin Zhu was smiling on the surface but was actually glaring at people, he habitually apologized and said: "He saw that your melon shed is a bit dilapidated, it seems that it has been dismantled and reinstalled..."

"It's so beautiful!" Aunt Qin couldn't be happier: "Where can I find such a good young man now, and he helps people drive horses and bandits and plant crops for people, eat loofah slowly, there is more here!"

Before we finished chatting here, another old woman came over tremblingly with a basket, and handed them fresh snails and big river mussels in the mountain stream.

"Eat this soup, it's fresh, you must eat it while it's alive!"

Xie Xuechen's face remained unchanged: "Please run for a while."

Lin Zhu raised his breath: "This is?"

"Little bamboo, you don't know," the old woman said cheerfully, "As an old man, my farming has become a little messy, half an acre of land is crooked, and finally I can't grow it anymore. Guess what happened?"

"This little Xuezi, he went down to the field on purpose while passing by, and helped me to rest beside him!"

"Oh——" Lin Zhu handed someone a cup of tea, turned to stare at someone and said, "He is indeed very enthusiastic, um."

When the old neighbors met, they would all praise the new villagers for their hard work and kindness, and gossip when they were done.

The content is nothing more than whose little girl is getting married, which cow has run into someone else's field, and in the middle of talking, a new thing comes to mind.

"Let me tell you, I heard that Hechun Village is haunted by ghosts. My relatives live there, and I saw several powerful Taoist priests being invited there!"

Lin Zhu poured them all a cup of tea, and everyone held a pottery bowl and drank and chatted at the gate of the courtyard.

"Didn't Hechun Village be haunted more than ten years ago, when I was a young man!"

"Oh! You don't know! It's getting worse now, and even the gossip mirrors hanging at the door of every house can't hide!"

Seeing that he was the only one who didn't pour for himself, Xie Xuechen looked inquiringly.

The latter shrugged, indicating that there was no bowl at home.

The man glanced at him, raised his hand and held out the same pottery bowl: "Pour."

"..."

There was another crash in the kitchen, I don't know which one was broken.

"No matter how scary a ghost is, it won't die in the end," the old man sneered, "There is no good thing for harming people! Just wait!"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of oral karma," the old woman waved her hand and said, "I'm going home to cook, and I'm leaving."

The neighbors in front of the door dispersed after saying goodbye, and Lin Zhu walked into the kitchen with the bowl in his hand.

Jie Mingyan blocked the kitchen entrance with one hand.

"Young scholar," Xian Meili stretched out her hand: "Is this the gold porcelain bowl at home, or this enamel bowl?"

Lin Zhu was calm: "How many pieces are broken?"

"Isn't it?" Xie Mingyan turned around and changed into a slutty look, and changed the color of his hand: "Is it this ice crack, or sweet white glaze?"

"All broken?"

Xie Xuechen was already squatting inside: "Oh."

The man picked up the eight-petal bowl with one hand, turned his head and said, "Don't block it, come and have a look."

Jie Mingyan was in a hurry: "Hey!! I'll change the whole set for you!!"

Lin Zhu has already leaned over, squatting on the ground with him to pick up bowls.

Xie Xuechen seldom does this kind of work, and today he really feels distressed.

He washed the dishes without even breaking a spoon.

hateful……

Lin Zhu swept the debris away with a broom, and turned to comfort him: "Fifth brother is fine, they are all cheap pottery bowls, not worth a lot."

Xie Mingyan treated each other frankly: "The porcelain one was smashed twice."

"It's okay."

He smiled and said, "It's normal for you to be unfamiliar with washing for the first time, so don't take it to heart."

When Xie Xuechen got up again, he already held the original eight bowls in his arms, all of which were brand new and shiny.

"Aren't you going to comfort me?"

Lin Zhu groaned, but didn't react.

The man looked at him and shook his head, put the bowl away and walked away.

"ungrateful."

"..."

As usual, evening is the time for scholars to review their books.

Generally speaking, Lin Zhu gets up early on weekdays, and often memorizes books for a while in the morning, and writes or writes an article in the afternoon.

Xie Mingyan and his younger brother occasionally go to the waterfalls in the mountains to sit and meditate, where the heaven and earth are full of aura, which is very helpful for practice.

Su Hongxiu would run around with the lamb, and occasionally went to the valley field to practice swords.

The warm wind was breezy tonight, Lin Zhu didn't come out in the back room, and the other three met alone at the entrance of the cellar.

An appointment has been made early in the day, and it is convenient to transport ice at night, and the lightness of coming and going is reflected in the twilight, so it is not easy for ordinary people to see and cause trouble.

"I've inquired about it." Xie Xuechen said: "Ordinary ice is fine, no need to be particular about it."

He didn't care about ordinary people's affairs, and he was completely dragged out by these two people today.

"Ordinary ice melts quickly," Jie Mingyan said indifferently: "Actually, you and I can solve the problem of heat by writing Zhang Fu, but I haven't used ice to spend the summer yet, and I really want to try it... "

"Then go get the Kunlun Ice Essence, which won't melt for a hundred years." Su Hongxiu suggested, "Ice also falls from the sky on the Taiji Mountains, and even if it falls into the sea, a piece of fish will be frozen to death!"

"Let's go to the advanced cellar and see how many things can be stored." Xie Mingyan pushed the door down and said casually, "I heard that you personally supervised the repair of this cellar?"

Demon Venerable showed a proud look.

He doesn't do civil engineering, but he has such a hand in his first shot, and he can exaggerate it to the fullest——

"Hey," Su Hongxiu held up the oil lamp and said, "Aren't the steps paved with bricks?"

"It's a bit perfunctory." Xie Mingyan supported the wall and walked down, and when he touched it, his palm was covered with a thin layer of dust.

A certain person walked at the end, his proud expression was swept away, and he turned into an unhappy ravioli again.

Lin Zhu has never said that there is no word here, but you are picky?

"Ah, there is no wall inside." Fifth Brother had already walked to the depths: "It's so dark, you don't know how to stick two luminous symbols. Didn't you see it when I was building the embroidery building?"

There was another person behind him pointing and pointing.

“There is no division of wine, food, fish and shrimp, so it’s easy to mix flavors!”

"Why don't you even have a logo, if you can't, you can engrave our family crest on it, it's a bit shabby."

"Look there, the window is so small."

"Yes, yes, and there..."

Mozun was on the verge of going berserk, and smiled vainly: "It's a temporary building, it's not impressive enough."

"Well, it's understandable," Xie Mingyan had already returned to the entrance, put his shoulders on his shoulders and said, "You are a junior, and you are not good enough in knowledge and aesthetics. It's just—ah!!"

Su Hongxiu was still wandering around inside, hearing the sound and said alertly: "What's wrong!"

"Don't come up!!" Jie Mingyan said frantically, "Xie Xuechen!! Take it back!!"

"No."

In Su Hongxiu's mind, the two thoughts of "let me see" and "safety is the most important thing" went back and forth, and finally the desire to eat melons defeated the former, and rushed over without hesitation.

"Big devil, what are you doing!!"

The long steps of the cellar have become a billowing river of rats, with rustling noises one after another, and their shiny black tails are like the whiskers of countless centipedes.

Xie Mingyan's face turned pale after being stuck in the cellar, he slapped the wall and said, "You are still unreasonable!! I'm just objectively pointing out where it can be improved!!"

"That's how I am." Xie Xuechen picked up a fat mouse into the air, trying to shake it or not: "If you want, I'll turn your pillow into a mouse skin in the middle of the night."

Xie Mingyan was already clinging to the wall with all four limbs, and said sharply, "Damn! What are you doing!!"

Su Hongxiu plucked up her courage and said: "Brother, I really didn't say anything, I just echoed his words, let me go back to sleep..."

"I've closed the door." Demon Lord Shi Shiran closed the double doors: "The cellar is shabby, you two can make do with it and sleep."

The moment the light disappeared, the eyes of more than 400 mice already glowed green.

Xie Mingyan covered her head with both hands: "Wrong, wrong, wrong!!"

"You built the best, most beautiful and awesome building, let your brother out!!"

Xie Xuechen squatted down and looked at the two of them: "One more compliment and I'll let you out."

The mouse's butt was already rushing to Su Hongxiu's face, and the little girl finally felt the cruelty of the world with a howl: "You villains have no humanity at all!! Is there such a thing as revenge!!"

"Xie Mingyan!! Hurry up and give another compliment!! Hurry up!!"

Xie Mingyan had already tried to set fire to it, but he was so restricted in this damned specific boundary that he couldn't use his mana, and after rubbing it for a long time, no sparks popped out.

Xie Xuechen smiled softly: "Call me Dad."

"We two are brothers, what do I call your father!!"

"Squeaky-"

"Help it's going to climb on my nose!!"

During the confusion, Xie Xuechen put a hand on his shoulder.

Lin Zhu leaned beside the door and looked inside curiously.

"What are you playing?"

"Have you ever seen the Devil's Nest." Xie Xuechen helped him open half the door: "It's almost like this inside."

Four hundred mice looked up in unison.

Lin Zhu took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "You don't sleep at night, why are you playing with mice here?"

Su Hongxiu yelled: "Help!! He's going to use the barrier to lock us up overnight!!"

Xie Xuechen closed the door again: "I'm not quite a person when I'm in a bad mood."

Lin Zhu let out a long sigh, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

"Stop making trouble, I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep early."

The man looked sideways at him, and as soon as he thought about it, the mice rushed out, finally revealing the tunnel again.

Xie Mingyan rushed back to the embroidered building to take a bath, Su Hongxiu said thank you at the fastest speed, and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xie Xuechen stood where he was, a little downcast.

"They said the cellar I built was ugly."

"That's it, no wonder I'm angry." Lin Zhu touched his head, and suddenly felt something: "Hey, it seems to be colder than usual inside."

The man turned his head the other way.

"I put some ice for you."

Lin Zhu:! !

"I haven't seen ice in a jar!" He suddenly became happy: "Take me to see it!"

"Aren't you afraid of mice?"

"I'm not afraid!"

Xie Xuechen glanced at him, and stepped inside.

In the depths of the cellar that was empty just now, after he entered, large vats of ice floes suddenly appeared.

Not only that, there are all kinds of ice bricks and ice stones in the depths, as if they are inexhaustible.

When the firefly green will-o'-the-wisps shone for a while, they all showed a beautiful light blue color.

Xie Xuechen leaned over to pick up a fallen leaf, and when he scooped it in, it turned into a scoop of ice water.

Cool and clear, but also exudes a pleasant coolness.

"Actually, I lied to you."

He lowered his head and said, "It's all made of dead bodies, it's very dirty."

"You can't." Lin Zhu approached him with a smile, and took a big sip from the ladle in his hand, without hesitation.

"The water is so clear! It's really icy!"

Mozun said angrily, "Why not?"

Lin Zhu took the ladle and handed the water with ice cubes to his mouth.

"Taste it, it's sweet."

Xie Xuechen took a sip silently to calm down.

Humph.
