Carrying a Hoe to Cultivate

Chapter 7

Views:

Xia Yi was idle, and he washed Gu Wenzhu's jacket and spread it on the big stone by the river.

Blowing the river wind and listening to the sound of the water, Xia Yi closed his eyes and fell on the big rock on the beach.

Before he had no time to take care of him, he had been adapting to this farming world. Work hard to do the task, don't think about everything in the original world. Now that I calm down, many thoughts come up unconsciously.

He thought of his parents who had passed away, of the brothers in the dormitory, and of the stray cats he often went to feed downstairs. Can't help but give birth to a sadness and loneliness of being alone in a different world.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

I don't know when, Gu Wenzhu has returned. Get dressed and sit beside him, staring straight at the river.

A low voice sounded: "I didn't ask what's going on in your home, why did you flee to find your aunt, but it's not going to last. Anyway, since you've come here, from now on, I'll be It's up to you."

Xia Yi sat up, sniffed with red eyes and said, "I just miss my parents."

Seeing Gu Wenzhu looking over, he added sadly, "They've all passed away."

"When my parents were there, I didn't have to worry about anything, so I couldn't even cook. Now I feel so sorry, like a waste."

"I miss them so much. They haven't eaten the potatoes I planted. I used to be ignorant and thought that everything has a parent. Before they left, they were worried about how I would live in the future."

"I want them to know now that I'm working hard to farm. Don't worry about me, no matter where I am, I will live a good life." Xia Yi wiped the tears from her face, turned her head to look into the distance, and tried her best not to choke. speak out.

Gu Wenzhu stared at Xia Yi with pity in his eyes, and said in a soft voice, "You work hard, they will know."

A gust of wind blew, and the soft hair on Xia Yi's forehead was blown, and a few small hairs were raised. Gu Wenzhu suddenly wanted to reach out and smooth the few strands of hair for him. Squeezing his fingers, he turned his head back.

Gu Wenzhu caught quite a few fish upstream, including a dozen or so, including grouper and crucian carp. He showed the fish basket to Xia Yi, Xia Yi quickly forgot the sadness just now, and laughed again with a red nose.

It was getting late, Xia Yi picked up the full fish basket, climbed onto Gu Wenzhu's generous back, and started the journey back. It was already dark, and when passing by the river, no one was there.

This time, Gu Wenzhu walked home without haste with Xia Yi on his back.

Gu Wenzhu boiled a pot of fish soup, which was fresh and delicious. Two of you, pick one for me, I'll pick one for you, and eat the whole pot of fish.

Xia Yi also ate three bowls of rice with fish soup.

While Gu Wenzhu was washing the dishes, Xia Yi slumped on the back of the chair. Seeing Gu Wenzhu's tall figure busy in the kitchen, doing various housework in an orderly manner.

He touched his belly and thought of a question, and asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, why haven't you started a family yet when you are so good?"

Gu Wenzhu's hand washing dishes stopped, he turned to look at Xia Yi, and Xia Yi looked back at him innocently. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Wenzhu replied, "I didn't find anything I liked."

Xia Yi nodded clearly, "A good person like you will definitely find someone you like."

After thinking about it, he added: "But when you meet someone you like, you have to be like me. Let people understand your intentions as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted by others."

When Xia Yi was a freshman, he met a girl who bought milk tea. After falling in love at first sight, he chased and beat him, and the girl behind him agreed to look everywhere. Although we talked about it for a month, we still broke up due to incompatible personalities, but it proved that the method of chasing people is still effective.

Gu Wenzhu didn't answer, Xia Yi heard him chuckle twice, and shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Xia Yi's feet were almost in good shape, and the potatoes were ripe. He has been running more frequently in the field these days, and he has to visit it several times a day.

As soon as I walked to the ridge this morning, a burst of fireworks burst into my head, and at the same time, the voice of 179 rang out with joy:

Congratulations to the host for completing the first task released by the system.

The content of the task is: to worship the Qishan sect and become a disciple of the head of the Qishan sect

Completion: 1/1

Reward: A novice gift pack for the task reward

Host, are you claiming the prize now or later? "

Xia Yi listened dazedly, and couldn't help but ask, "What are the prizes?"

The system didn't answer immediately. After a while, a flat mechanical voice sounded: "Are you sure you want to know now?"

As soon as Xia Yi heard this voice, he knew that it was not good, but he was still curious: "Tell me, I just want to know how spicy your system world is."

"The quest reward is 10 bottles of foundation building fluid, and the novice gift pack is a marrow-washing pill and 10 lower-level spirit stones." 179 read.

Xia Yi: … .

"Host, if you don't claim the prize now, I can store it in your system storage, and you can claim it anytime and anywhere in the future." 179 suggested.

Xia Yi asked, "What is the system storage compartment?"

"The system storage compartment is the main system space, and there is a sub-system space dedicated to you that can be used for storage." 179 explained.

"Then save it for me." Xia Yi said.

After receiving the reward, Xia Yi went to see his precious potato. Rubbing his hands together, Xia Yi raised the hoe in both hands, aiming at the side of a potato seedling and digging down hard. When the hoe is pulled out, it turns up a large piece of mud, and the mud is densely filled with potatoes. Roughly estimated, a single seedling is dug out dozens of kilograms.

Xia Yi was overjoyed, and immediately threw away the hoe and ran home, hurried back to call Gu Wenzhu.

Gu Wenzhu pushed a scooter to the edge of the ground, and the two of them dipped their arms and started digging. The potatoes were so big and numerous that Xia Yi quickly became too sore to move his hoe, so Gu Wenzhu continued, picking up the bamboo basket behind him.

By the time the potatoes in this part of the land were harvested, the sun went down. After several times with a trolley, I pulled them all home, and a mountain of potatoes was piled up in the yard.

Under the moonlight, the two came again to weigh the potatoes, which weighed 1,000 pounds.

Xia Yi looked at the pile of potatoes and smiled like a fool.

Gu Wenzhu simply cooked a pot of potatoes. After it is softened, fry it in oil until the outer skin is browned, then sprinkle some salt and pepper noodles. This potato is yellow and orange, and the bite is sandy and sweet, and the two of them can't stop eating.

Looking at the pile of potatoes while eating, Gu Wenzhu said, "I put 100 catties in the cellar, and I will take the rest tomorrow and sell it in the city, just in time to take you into the city."

Xia Yi quickly agreed happily.

When lying on the bed at night, Xia Yi suddenly started calling the system.

"179, didn't I say that I opened a golden finger? One cent of the land can produce three acres of land."

179 said nothing.

Xia Yi saw this posture, I went, this is the prelude to pretending to be dead. So he sat up and looked angry, "You want to cheat?"

179 said: "Host, you don't have a place to store three acres of potatoes. Besides, you suddenly have so many potatoes, how can you explain it to Gu Wenzhu?"

Xia Yi thought for a while and smiled slyly: "Don't I have a system space? You install it in the system space for me first."

179 reluctantly agreed.

After a while, the sound of the system sounded in Xia Yi's mind: "Host, all your five tons of potatoes have been collected into the system space."

Xia Yi clenched his fists into the air: "Thank you."

The system sounded again: "Host, since you have completed the first task released by the system, also known as the novice task, and received the reward. Now, the Xiuxian system will release the second task for you on No. 179." "Task introduction: Reach the foundation stage and get a spirit beast

Completion: 0/2

Reward: quest reward foundation building gift bag"

Xia Yi: …

"What is the corresponding farming task this time?" Xia Yi asked.

"Plant onions and fennel on ten acres of land." Road 179.

"I want Goldfinger." Xia Yi said.

Just as the system was about to reject it, Xia Yi said again: "Compensation, complaint, rating."

System: "One point."

Xia Yi: "Deal."

The genius was bright, and Gu Wenzhu was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. When Xia Yi finished washing up, a large bowl of porridge and a small basket of pancakes were already placed on the table.

Xia Yi ate several cakes in a row, and got on the carriage that Gu Wenzhu had already set up. The carriage was borrowed by Gu Wenzhu from the old man in the village, and it was full of Xia Yi's potatoes. As Gu Wen threw his whips one by one, the carriage drove all the way in the direction of the city.

The village was only a dozen miles away from the county seat. When the sun rose, the carriage also entered the city.

After Xia Yi came to this world, his eyes were full of mountains and fields. This is the first time I have come to a place with so many people, and my eyes are full of wonder, looking left and right. Said to be the county seat, in Xia Yi's view, it was only a little bigger than the town in the original world, but the streets were bustling with people, and all kinds of stalls and vendors shouted loudly, which was very lively.

The carriage drove to a small tea stall, Gu Wenzhu stopped and helped Xia Yi down, saying: "You wait for me here, I will drive the car to a nearby military camp. There are people I know well in the procurement. Every time I sell my food directly to him."

Seeing that Gu Wenzhu was still exhorting, Xia Yi nodded quickly and said, "Just do your business, I'll wait for you here, and I won't go anywhere."

Gu Wenzhu explained a few words to the owner of the tea stall, left a few coins behind, and drove the car away.

Xia Yi sat at the tea stall with a bowl of tea in front of him, looking around.

"179, over there, the one called Jinfenglou, quickly scan it, is it the legendary brothel?"

"Host, that's a restaurant."

"Oh... There is a restaurant called Zuiyi Pavilion over there. It should also be a restaurant."

"Host, that's a library."

"...That's it. 179, look at the one on the west side, called Songzhuguan. The door looks simple and elegant. It should be the academy for students to study."

"Host, that's a brothel."

Xia Yi: …
