Chapter 159 Whitewash 1 update

In the morning, when the villagers came to build the adobe wall, they were still discussing the miracle last night, talking over and over again, digging into every detail, as if only in this way could they calm down the shock and excitement in their hearts.

From time to time, Xu Huaiyi heard someone sighing happily, "We are a blessing in disguise. It is the right time to settle in Hutian Village. Otherwise, how could we have encountered such a rare thing in a century?"

"Yes, a miracle from heaven is enough for us to brag about for a lifetime."

"From now on, all the curses and ominous rumors in this village should be eliminated, right?"

"Of course, the Buddha has appeared, and the Buddha's light shines everywhere, and all the bad luck has been eliminated. From now on, our place will only be peaceful and smooth. Before long, the surrounding villages will envy us. The weather is not as good as the location. We have a good location and good feng shui, so everything we do can be done well.”

"Yes, yes, speaking of it, everything seems to be going smoothly from the time we fled the famine until now. Could it be that the Buddha has blessed us since then?"

"Huh? It seems like..."

Xu Huaiyi walked away with his hands behind his back, found Wei Liang, and told him, "Go for a walk outside, in a crowded and lively place surrounded by eight villages, to see if anyone spreads the gossip about Hutian Village."

Wei Liang bowed in agreement.

Xu Huaiyi whispered again, "If no one tells you, just guide me, don't be too deliberate, so as not to arouse people's suspicion, just go to the market to buy something..."

As he said that, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to him, "You can buy it if you want. If you have fresh fish, you can bring it back, as well as ribs, pig's trotters, etc."

"Yes, sir."

After Wei Liang left, Xu Huaiyi took over the work of building a fence from him, and surrounded the land that was reclaimed yesterday with branches to prevent anyone from stepping on it.

Gu Huanxi picked a ridge and sprinkled the seeds, soaking them overnight. The seeds looked no different in appearance, but she still put a little more thought into planting them together, so that she could compare them and plant them together in case there were any. Especially abnormal situations can be handled and adjusted in time.

Wei Ci watered the water, while Gu Xiaoyu and Wei An were responsible for burying the soil. The three of them cooperated in a tacit understanding. In one morning, the land of more than an acre was completed.

Village Chief Xu strolled over and asked curiously, "What vegetables are you growing?"

Xu Huaiyi explained, "Spinach, coriander, winter vegetables, etc. are not afraid of freezing. It is too late to plant cabbage and radish now, otherwise it would be best to plant that one."

Village Chief Xu nodded, "I missed it this year. I can only wait a few days to buy some at the market and put it back. Planting spinach and coriander is okay now. If it gets colder, I can build a meadow or something. I will do it later." If you plant some, you can eat it as a vegetable, but there isn't much land in the yard, so it's better to have it here, it's spacious..."

Xu Huaiyi smiled and changed the subject, "Uncle village chief, have you gone to see the crop fields? What do you think? If it works, we might as well plant wheat after we clean it up."

The villagers bought more or less acres of land, but those lands were deserted without cultivation for many years before they settled down. Although every household had food to eat, there really wasn't much wheat, so even if they had land, they didn't dare to When planting, I am afraid that the wheat seeds will be wasted, so I want to plant beans from the previous season in the spring of next year and then raise them.

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu muttered, "I've seen it, but I'm not sure. The soil seems fine, just a little thinner. Strangely, others say that the harvest in Hutian Village is less than that in other villages." It’s half-finished. It’s been deserted for a few years. If you want to reclaim it, you’ll have to work harder.”

"What do you mean, we won't be able to plant wheat this year?"

"Well, unless you add more fertilizer, you won't be able to harvest much grain. It's not hard enough, and you'll have to waste all those wheat seeds. What do you want to plant?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "The land is idle and I want to try various things to see how the harvest is. It's still a quick trip now, but it won't be possible if it gets colder."

Village Chief Xu worried about him, "We have no shortage of people to work, but where can we go to buy fertilizer?"

When farming in the countryside, they rely on their own savings for fertilizer. They have just settled here, so they don't have any.

Xu Huaiyi thought to himself that with my daughter as a super plug-in, she would not be short of anything but fertilizer, but she had to look helpless on the surface, "Let's get some plant ash first and let's do it."

Village Chief Xu always felt that his decision was a bit hasty and risky, but he couldn't persuade him any more. He followed his words and said, "When will you plant? I'll ask you, Changsong, to help."

"Sooner rather than later, let's go in the afternoon."

"Okay, let's see whoever is idle, call them to help when the time comes..."

At noon, the villagers went back to eat, and Wei Liang also came back, carrying a basket with fresh carp, pig's trotters, and some cabbage and radishes.

When Xu Huaiyi saw it, he hurriedly said, "Daughter-in-law, while the fish is fresh, can we add pickled fish for lunch? Save the pig's trotters for the afternoon and stew them with soybeans."

Gu Huanxi never refuted his reputation in front of outsiders, so she agreed happily and carried the fish into the kitchen. Wei Ci helped her and learned how to cook with her.

Xu Huaiyi giggled, and when he turned to look at Wei Liang, his face seemed to change, and he became serious and serious, "How is it? Is there any news?"

Wei Liang said respectfully, "Yes, quite a few, and what's more, it's so amazing."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes lit up, "Really? Tell me, how did you pass it on?"

Wei Liang said sternly, "There are rumors outside that the Buddha appeared and descended slowly from the heavenly palace. At that time, the Buddha's light illuminated the entire village. Everyone knelt down and worshiped on the ground, unable to open their eyes. Some even described the Buddha's appearance, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. , the treasure was solemn, and after reciting a scripture, he floated away."

The corner of Xu Huaiyi's mouth twitched when he heard it. Sure enough, it was rumored that as long as it passed through the mouths of three people, it would become unrecognizable and reflect the whole village? It's obviously only about ten meters of land, but as for the appearance, it's even more nonsense. He didn't do a projection because it was too troublesome.

But now, the steps he omitted due to troublesome people have filled in for him.

"Do you think everyone believes these rumors?"

"Convinced."

Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Wei Liang nodded, "People from other villages also saw what happened last night. After all, the Buddha's light... appeared so miraculous and so bright that it was normal for outsiders to see it."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly said "Oh".

Wei Liang hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Someone in the village should have gone out of their way to spread the word. Half-truth and half-falsehood are more likely to win people's trust."

"Who went to pass it on?"

"It should be the people of the original Hutian Village. No one wants to get rid of those ominous curses and unlucky rumors more than them. Now that a miracle is coming, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely seize this opportunity to make a comeback. "

"It was probably done by the village chief Hu."

"When I came back just now, I saw Village Chief Hu's grandson playing with the children of Xujia Village."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi smiled unexpectedly and said, "Here comes the show of goodwill."
