"Big brother."
"Brother, do you think this kind of plant can do it?"
"Eldest brother..."
Xiaodong raised his head, bent down and lowered his head, feeling a little dizzy for a long time.
The senior brother was very busy there, and he was surrounded by a group of disciples.
As soon as the master left, the elder brother dragged everyone to work in the medicine garden. Although it was already freezing cold, as soon as I entered the medicine garden, I could feel the warm breeze blowing on my face.
Xiaodong didn't understand the reason here, anyway, he just put his head down and worked on whatever the elder brother told him.
They have to live in Beifu City for at least one year, and it may be longer. During this period of time, you can't be idle except for practicing kung fu. People can't be idle. When they are idle, it is easy to think too much, and if they think too much, there will be too many things.
Of the dozens of disciples on Huiliu Mountain, only a dozen or so remain.
The benefits of having fewer people.
But once the work is done, it seems that some people are not enough.
This medicine garden has been deserted for too long, and there are everything in a mess, and there are still a few sparse medicinal herbs among the wildly growing weeds.
The first step is to shovel the useless weeds. It is not difficult to shovel the grass alone. The key is not to use real yuan. Each person will be given a small medicine shovel with a wooden handle, and it will be planed by hand bit by bit.
Most of the herbs are recognized by everyone, and it is not possible to shovel the herbs when we shovel the grass. But blindly working hard and shoveling, accidental injuries are inevitable.
Anyway, this place has been deserted for too long, and some herbs are not rare species. Many of them are the most common spiritual herbs. They are not much better than weeds if they are dipped in the word "spirit". Vegetables can also be put in it. There is not much spiritual energy, but it is better than eating ordinary whole grains.
A lot of spiritual herbs were caught in the weeds and quickly shoveled away. What should I do if I found out that I was accidentally injured after shoveling? If the root is not broken, bury it in another place, and if the root is broken... cook porridge at night. Xiaodong worked extremely slowly. He is not familiar with medicinal herbs and weeds, so he has to carefully distinguish each time before making a move, thinking about whether this grass has appeared in the medicinal herb illustrations he has read. So he didn't make many mistakes, but the problem is that the medicine garden is so large, and each person has a piece of land to work on. The place shared by others is almost cleared up, but here...he just finished the beginning.
Jiang Fan is very familiar with this job, and he has practiced a lot in the mountains before, and came to help Xiaodong when he finished clearing his area. Linglong is usually good at doing other things, but she is very impatient with this kind of delicate work that takes a lot of time and eyes. She has almost been shoveled clean in pieces, and does not distinguish between medicine and grass.
The grass roots must also be cleaned up, the soil must be turned over, and the medicine should be sprinkled to remove any insect eggs that may be hiding in the soil.
How to grow medicinal herbs is also very particular. Some people like the sun, wishing to be in the sun for twelve hours a day, so they have to plant it in a sunny place. Some don't like the sun, and they will die if they get too much sun. The place where they are planted must be carefully selected.
Some like water, some don't like tide, and there are many things to pay attention to.
After tossing for a whole day, I didn't plant much. Although Mo Chen brought many seeds, they were not many in terms of types. Some rare medicinal herbs cannot be grown here, water and soil are secondary, the spiritual veins here in Beifu City are different from those in Huiliu Mountain.
But today he dragged a group of juniors to work mainly to let them have something to do and not to cause trouble.
As soon as Master left today, the others couldn't sit still. The only ones Mo Chen could trust were Jiang Fan, Xiaodong, Zhai Wenhui and an outsider disciple who was usually honest and honest. As for the others, they would probably sneak out. Those who want to join in the fun, like Linglong. There must be those who are worried about Master.
Now there are everyone in Beifu City, and Mo Chen dares to say that there will definitely be people from the Demonic Dao. Whether it is to inquire about news or to disrupt the major event of the change of the city lord, Mo Dao will not remain silent anyway.
Huiliu Mountain has long been targeted by people in the demonic way, and the juniors ran out in case they were ordered... It will be too late to regret it.
A group of young boys are just at the age when their blood rushes to their heads at every turn. There is such a wonderful event outside that happens once in a century, and they really can't stay in the house.
Mo Chen planned to consume them in the medicine garden in the next few days. After the medicine garden is done, if this matter is gone, then find some other work for them. Anyway, it is not easy to find a job in the house of someone who has not lived in it for so many years? There is work everywhere, and there is a shortage of manpower.
After dark, Li Fulin and Ji Zheng hadn't come back yet, Mo Chen remained calm, and only Jiang Fan and Zhai Wenhui went to buy some steamed buns and vegetables, and then boiled a big pot of vegetable porridge to satisfy everyone's stomachs.
But during the meal, Mo Chen also noticed that Xiaodong must be tired today.
He couldn't use real energy, and he wasn't used to this kind of work, the hand holding the bowl was shaking, even though he immediately put the bowl down and buried himself in the porridge, he didn't hide it from Mo Chen.
Not only was he tired, but his hands were hurt.
The palm of the hand is worn out, and the one on the left hand should have been shoveled by a medicine spatula. Fortunately, the shovel is not very sharp, just a scratch.
Mo Chen brought water to wash his hands, and then gave him some medicine.
Xiaodong was embarrassed.
Others did their work quickly and well, but he didn't do much work and injured himself.
However, the medicine given to him by the senior brother was very good. The palms of the palms were burning hot, but the pain seemed to be twitching inside. Once the medicine was applied, he felt cool, and the pain disappeared immediately.
"I..." Xiaodong felt that this incident was not even an injury, and he shouldn't waste such a good medicine.
"I should have prepared a pair of gauntlets for you." Mo Chen was a little annoyed.
Xiaodong has never worked, and Mo Chen has long forgotten how he was working when he was a child. It is the first time to work with a sackcloth or something to wrap your palms around. Although it is still unavoidable to be scratched by grass thorns, it is fine for abrasions and accidental injuries like Xiaodong who cut his own hand. protect.
"It doesn't matter." Xiaodong hurriedly said, "I heard from Senior Brother Zhai that the first day will be a bit more difficult and the rest will be fine. The main reason is that I'm not familiar with it, so I didn't do much today."
After a pause, Xiaodong asked softly: "Master didn't say anything when he left in the morning, and he won't come back at night..."
According to Xiaodong's understanding, he didn't say he was going to spend the night outside, so he should be coming back, right
But it's getting late now, Master and Ji Zhenren haven't come back yet, could it be... what's the matter
"Don't worry, Master will be fine, besides, there is still Ji Zhenren."
This is true.
Ji Zhenren is very powerful at first glance, he must be a tough character if he really wants to fight with others.
Mo Chen wrapped another layer of white cloth around Xiaodong's hands: "Be careful, don't rub off the medicine on your hands, it should be fine tomorrow."
Xiaodong pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, he looked like a trembling rabbit, as if he would jump up immediately if there was any disturbance.
Mo Chen glanced at him, then gently closed his eyes.
Xiaodong felt a little embarrassed, crossed his legs and began to meditate earnestly. At first, I was a little impetuous, but then I gradually forgot about the things outside of me.
When Mo Chen put on his clothes and left the house, Xiaodong didn't hear any movement.
Li Fulin had already returned, and Ji Zheng followed her into the door, her face was still cold enough to frostbite, she gave a slight nod to Li Fulin, then turned and went back to the room.
As soon as she left, Li Fulin's face fell down.
Mo Chen poured a cup of hot tea for Li Fulin: "Master must be tired today, right?"
"Tired." Li Fulin took the tea and took a sip. The tea they drank was wild tea brought from Huiliu Mountain. Although they were tired and bored, Li Fulin's originally frowning brows slowly relaxed after drinking this tea.
He waved to the other disciples who came out to greet him: "It's getting late, let's all go to rest."
Turning his head around, he asked Mo Chen: "What did you guys do today? Did no one cause trouble?"
Mo Chen truthfully reported how he practiced his juniors today, and then asked: "Did Master encounter any trouble today?"
In fact, he already had an answer to this question.
If there was no trouble, why would the master look so troubled.
It's a lot of trouble.
very much.
Normally, Li Fulin would discuss with his big apprentice when he had something to do, after all, Mo Chen was mature and calm, and thoughtful about everything.
But Li Fulin felt that he couldn't tell his disciples what happened today.
The first unexpected thing happened when they first arrived at Ruoshuitai.
If the water platform is built on the top of the mountain, there is a staircase that circles back and forth between the mountains and leads directly from the bottom of the mountain. There were two Beifu city guards in strong attire waiting by the mountain gate. Li Fulin handed over the invitation card. The city guard read the post and said respectfully and politely, "Really Li, Mrs. Li, please go up the mountain."
Mrs. Lee
Li Fulin felt that he must have heard wrong.
What the hell is Mrs. Lee
What is the look in this gatekeeper's boy? Are he and Ji Zhengxiang a Taoist couple
No, Li Fulin was not angry because of his mistake, on the contrary, Li Fulin was worried about the kid in front of him.
Ji Zheng would strike at the slightest disagreement... Even if she has lived too long, after all, Yunying is still unmarried, and she suddenly became a wife. Don't you get mad
He turned his head worriedly, if Ji Zheng made a move, of course he would persuade...
advise…
Ji Zheng, who had already walked a few steps, turned to look at him: "Are you still leaving?"
"Oh, go, go."
Li Fulin hurried to catch up.
Did Ji Zheng hear what the man said just now
Or has her self-cultivation increased all the way over the years, and her heart has become more open-minded
But Li Fulin didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
What did he and his disciples say about this
When they arrived at the Ruoshui Platform, someone they knew greeted them, and their eyes flickered back and forth between him and Ji Zheng, with extremely rich expressions in those eyes. There were people who didn't know each other's first and last names. After he reported his family name, several times before he could speak again, those people laughed smartly and said, "This must be Mrs. Li..."
It's fine if it's just like this, others don't know about him, but as an old friend for many years, City Lord Song actually made trouble for him. (to be continued)
