Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Lin Geng picked up a few green bamboo poles in the corner of the thatched cottage and took a look. He found that these green bamboos were actually a fishing rod. It was equipped with fishing lines, fish hooks, and floats. It was almost the same as the fishing rods used by anglers of this era. The only difference might be that this fishing rod looked like it was made of new bamboo. Even if he took it out to fish, it would not attract attention. He might even be laughed at, saying that he didn't know what kind of bamboo to use to make a fishing rod!

Lin Geng looked at the green bamboo fishing rod, thinking that when he had nothing to do in the future, he could take the fishing rod out and go fishing to satisfy his hunger.

After leaving the thatched hut, he walked around in the small world and found a stone nest next to the hut. Judging from the traces, this should have been a spring, but now it has dried up. Just when he was feeling a little regretful, he saw that the stone nest began to become moist little by little, as if water was beginning to seep out of the stone nest.

He quickly lay down and carefully observed the stone nest, and found that, as expected, water began to seep out of the stone nest very slowly.

Lin Geng thought about it and felt that this might be because of the changes he brought to this small world after he obtained it. When this small world became ownerless, everything here began to dry up.

After he obtained this small world, it began to come back to life, and the dried-up spring water began to seep out again, but the speed of the seepage was a bit slow for the time being. It could not be considered a spring, but only seeped out a little bit at a time. After lying down and watching for a long time, he finally saw a little water accumulated at the bottom of the stone nest.

However, the water was very clear and looked very clean. Lin Gengye was a little thirsty, so after thinking about it, he bravely lay down in the stone nest and licked some water to taste it.

As soon as the water entered his mouth, Lin Geng's eyes widened. This water was too sweet! It was as if sugar had been added to it. It was cool and sweet, and very delicious.

So he hurriedly lay down again and sucked in the little spring water that he had accumulated with great difficulty and drank it. As the spring water entered his throat and flowed into his stomach, he suddenly felt his stomach begin to warm slightly, as if the dry land had been moistened by water, and he felt very comfortable.

And this feeling of comfort gradually began to spread from the stomach to the whole body, and wherever it passed, his internal organs felt warm and comfortable, as if all the hidden diseases of his internal organs were cured.

Finally, this warm current gradually spread to his limbs and bones, and his whole body began to feel very comfortable, just like the feeling of cleansing the bones and marrow after swallowing elixir as described in martial arts novels. He lay comfortably on the ground and couldn't help but utter shameful groans. If someone heard him, they would think he was doing something shameful but very comfortable!

It turns out that this spring is actually very likely a spiritual spring. After drinking the water from the spiritual spring, it may help cleanse the bones and marrow, eliminate all diseases, or at the very least strengthen the body. In short, it is definitely a good thing, but the water output is a bit small, and I don’t know whether the water output will gradually increase in the future.

After confirming that this stone nest was a spiritual spring, he no longer lay there waiting for the water to seep out, but continued to patrol this small world that already belonged to him.

In this small world, there are actually several hundred acres of medicinal fields that are like farmland. In a corner of the small world, there is a large pit of several dozen acres. At the bottom of the pit, there are a small number of dried lotus leaves and dried lotus pods, and even some fish bones that have turned into dry bones.

This should be a lotus pond in the small world. It may also be a pond used to raise fish and water medicinal fields. However, as the previous owner of the small world gave up or died, the water here gradually dried up because it could not be replenished with spiritual spring water.

Lin Geng walked around the dry pit and only picked up a few dried lotus pods. He dug the soil in the dry pit a few times, but still couldn't dig out any dried lotus roots. He simply collected the dried lotus pods and threw them into the thatched hut and left them there.

The hundreds of acres of medicinal fields were filled with various unknown herbs that had been withered for who knows how long. At the moment, these herbs did not show any signs of life. He was not sure whether they could gradually recover in the future because he had obtained this small world.

Anyway, wherever the blind man looked, he saw that this small world was in ruins. Although there was no dust, the land in the small world was covered with dry herbs. It was obvious that after this cave was abandoned or left behind, the spiritual energy here dried up and the small world became a dead place.

However, after he discovered that the spiritual spring began to seep water again, he no longer worried that this small world would continue to remain in such a lifeless state. He knew that it would gradually recover its vitality in the future.

Sure enough, in less than two days, after he discovered this small world, an unknown medicinal herb gradually began to turn green and regained some vitality. Gradually, some herbs also began to recover little by little. It was a pity that the number was very small. The rest of the withered herbs should have been there for too long and had completely lost their vitality.

However, Lin Geng didn't care much about these herbs. Even if they were all elixirs, he didn't recognize them at all. Even if they restored vitality, he didn't know how to use them. He couldn't personally be like Shennong and taste hundreds of herbs to try the medicinal properties of these herbs. What if some of them were poisonous and he got poisoned after taking a bite, and he didn't know how to detoxify, wouldn't he be doomed?

So even if these spiritual medicines might be very useful, he didn't dare to use them indiscriminately. He simply observed for two days to see that no more spiritual medicines could recover their vitality. Then he transplanted the few herbs that had recovered their vitality to a corner of the spiritual field near the thatched cottage and let them grow on their own. If they could survive, they would survive. If they couldn't, then so be it. He was not greedy.

After seeing this small world, Lin Geng analyzed it. He was neither a cultivator of immortality nor a cultivator of Taoism, so he had no knowledge of this small world. He could only guess that this small world might be a cave opened up by some powerful being in ancient times or in another world.

But later, for some unknown reason, this powerful man either died in an accident or voluntarily abandoned the cave. Eventually, this small world and his soul accidentally met and merged, and his soul brought him to this courtyard plot world.

After obtaining this small world, Lin Geng felt somewhat comforted. While Gou was at home absorbing the inexplicable energy to transform his body, he began various attempts. The first thing he did was to find ways to bring things from the outside world into this small world.

It's true, he actually succeeded. After countless efforts and experiments, he finally brought a broken teacup on the bedside table into this small world. Lin Geng was so happy. Although he didn't get the blessing of the system, at least he got a space. With this space that can accommodate external objects, he can do many things.

Then he seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He hid in the house and had a lot of fun, constantly putting various things in the house into the space and then taking things out from the space.

At first he could only put things the size of a flashlight into the space, but later he was able to put larger and larger things into the space with his mind. What's interesting is that he discovered that as he continued to try, he could gradually gain the ability to put items within a few meters into the space without touching them with his hands, just by using his mind.

This made Lin Geng very happy again. It meant that he now had an extremely convenient way to store items. Without touching the items, he could put them into his little world without anyone noticing, just by using his thoughts.

So he thought, if he were a thief, stealing things wouldn't be...

But before this idea was fully formed, he immediately killed it, because as a young man with hemorrhoids... no, a young man with ambitions, how could he use his abilities to become a thief? This was really against the good values ​​cultivated in his nine years of compulsory education.

A thief is definitely not a thief, but it seems that it can be used to punish bad people, right? Oh, this is possible!
