Carrying a Hoe to Cultivate
Chapter 7
Xia Yi was also idle, he washed Gu Wenzhu's coat and spread it on the big rock by the river.
Blowing the river wind, listening to the sound of water, Xia Yi closed his eyes and fell on the big rock on the river beach.
I had no time to care about him before, and I have been adapting to this farming world.Do the task hard, don't think about everything in the original world.As soon as I calmed down now, many thoughts came to me unconsciously.
He thought of his deceased parents, the group of brothers in the dormitory, and the stray cats downstairs that he often fed.I can't help but feel the sadness and loneliness of being alone in a different world.
A tear slid down from the corner of his eye.
At some point, Gu Wenzhu had already returned.Dressed and sat next to him, staring straight at the river.
A low voice sounded: "I never asked about your family's situation, and why you ran away from the famine to find your aunt, but you can't live anymore. Anyway, since you have found this place, from now on, I will 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 all passed away."
"When my parents were here, I didn't have to worry about anything, so I couldn't even cook. Now I feel so regretful, like a useless person."
"I miss them so much. They haven't eaten the potatoes I planted yet. I used to be ignorant, thinking that everything depends on my parents. 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 his face, turned his head and looked into the distance, trying not to choke himself speak out.
Gu Wenzhu looked at Xia Yi with pity in his eyes, and said softly: "You work hard, they will know."
A gust of wind blew past, blowing up the soft hair on Xia Yi's forehead, raising a few little hairs.Gu Wenzhu suddenly wanted to reach out and smooth those few hairs for him.Squeezing his fingers, he turned his head back.
Gu Wenzhu caught a lot of fish in the upstream, more than a dozen large and small, including grouper and crucian carp.He showed the fish basket to Xia Yi, and Xia Yi soon forgot the sadness just now, and laughed again with a red nose.
It was getting late, Xia Yi carried a full fish basket, climbed onto Gu Wenzhu's generous back, and started the return journey.It was already dark, and when passing by the river, there was no one.
This time, Gu Wenzhu walked back home in a calm manner with Xia Yi on his back.
Gu Wenzhu boiled a pot of fish soup, which was fresh and delicious.Two of you, you pick one for me, and I pick one for you, and eat up that pot of fish.
Xia Yi also ate three bowls of rice soaked in fish soup.
While Gu Wenzhu was washing the dishes, Xia Yi slumped on the back of the chair.Watching Gu Wenzhu's tall figure bustle around in the kitchen, doing all kinds of housework in an orderly manner.
He touched his belly and thought of a question, so he asked curiously: "Brother Zhu, why haven't you got married yet when you are so good?"
Gu Wenzhu stopped washing the dishes, he turned to look at Xia Yi, Xia Yi looked back at him innocently.After thinking about it for a while, Gu Wenzhu finally replied, "I didn't meet anyone I liked."
Xia Yi nodded knowingly, "A good person like you will definitely find someone he likes."
After thinking about it, he added: "But if you meet someone you like, you have to be like me. Let people understand your mind as soon as possible, lest others take it first."
When Xia Yi was a freshman, he met a girl when he was buying milk tea. He fell in love at first sight and chased after him fiercely. The girl behind him also agreed to look around.Although after talking for a month, I still broke up due to personality differences, but it proves that the method of chasing people is still effective.
Gu Wenzhu didn't answer, Xia Yi heard him smile twice, then shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Xia Yi's feet were almost healed, 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, there was a burst of fireworks and firecrackers in my head, and at the same time, the voice of 179 rang out beamingly:
Congratulations to the host for completing the first task released by the system.
The content of the task is: to worship under the Qishan sect and become a disciple under the head of Qishan sect
Completion: 1/1
Reward: A task reward novice gift bag
Host, do you want to claim the prize now or later? "
Xia Yi listened dazedly, and couldn't help asking: "What are the prizes?"
The system didn't answer right away, and a mediocre mechanical voice sounded after a while: "Are you sure you want to know now?"
Xia Yi knew it was not good as soon as he heard the voice, but he was still curious: "Let's hear it, I just want to know how hot your system world is."
"The task reward is 10 bottles of foundation building liquid, 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, which 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 held up the hoe with both hands, aimed at the side of a potato seedling and dug down hard.When the hoe is pulled out, a large piece of mud is turned up, and the mud is densely packed with potatoes.Roughly estimated, tens of kilograms were dug up for each seedling.
Xia Yi was elated, and immediately threw away the hoe and ran home, and hurried back to call Gu Wenzhu.
Gu Wenzhu pushed a cart to the edge of the ground, and the two of them shook their arms and started digging.The potatoes were so big and plentiful that Xia Yi soon became so sore that he couldn't wield a hoe, so Gu Wenzhu continued, picking up bamboo baskets behind him.
By the time the potatoes in this subfield were harvested, the sun had set.I used a cart to divide them several times and took them all home. A mountain of potatoes was piled up in the yard.
Under the moonlight, the two came to weigh the potatoes again, which weighed 1000 catties.
Xia Yi looked at the pile of potatoes and smiled like a fool.
Gu Wenzhu simply boiled a pot of potatoes.After boiling until soft, fry it in oil until the outer skin is browned, then sprinkle some salt and pepper noodles.The potatoes were yellow and orange, and they were sandy and sweet after a bite, and the two of them couldn't stop eating.
Looking at the pile of potatoes while eating, Gu Wenzhu said: "Put 100 catties in the cellar, and I will sell the rest in the city tomorrow, just in time to take you for a walk in 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 point of land can produce the output of three mu of land."
179 said nothing.
Xia Yi saw this posture, I'll go, this is the prelude to pretending to be dead.So he sat up suddenly, with an angry expression on his face, "You want to play tricks?"
179 said: "Host, you don't have room to store the potatoes on the three-acre field. What's more, you suddenly have so many potatoes, how can you explain to Gu Wenzhu?"
Xia Yi thought for a while, then 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, a system voice sounded in Xia Yi's head: "Host, all of your five tons of potatoes have been collected into the system space."
Xia Yi cupped his fists against the air: "Thank you."
The system voice sounded again: "Master, since you have completed the first task issued by the system, also known as the novice task, and received the reward. Now, Xiuxian System No. 179 will issue the second task for you." "Task introduction: Reach the foundation building stage and get a spirit beast
Completion: 0/2
Reward: Mission rewards a foundation building gift pack"
Xia Yi: ...
"What is the corresponding farming task this time?" Xia Yi asked.
"Plant ten acres of onions and fennel." 179 said.
"I want Goldfinger." Xia Yi said.
Just as the system was about to reject it, Xia Yi said again: "Compensation, complaint, and rating."
System: "One point."
Xia Yi: "Deal."
At dawn, Gu Wenzhu was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.After Xia Yi finished washing, 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 into the carriage that Gu Wenzhu had 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 flicked his whip one by one, the carriage headed towards the city.
The village is only a dozen miles away from the county seat, and when the sun rose, the carriage also entered the city.
After Xia Yi came to this world, his eyes were either mountains or 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.In Xia Yi's view, the county seat is only a little bigger than the town in the original world, but the streets are bustling with street vendors shouting loudly, making it very lively.
The carriage drove to a small tea stall, Gu Wenzhu stopped to help Xia Yi down, and said: "You wait for me here, and I will drive the car to a nearby military camp. There are people I know well in the procurement, every day This time I sold all my food directly to him."
Seeing that Gu Wenzhu still wanted to give instructions, Xia Yi quickly nodded and said, "Just go about your business, I'll wait for you here, and I won't go anywhere."
Gu Wenzhu explained a few words to the tea stand owner, left a few copper coins, and drove away in the car.
Xia Yi sat at the tea stand, 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 be a restaurant too."
"Host, that's a library."
"...I see. 179, look at the one on the west side, called Songzhu Hall. The gate looks simple and elegant. It should be the academy where students study."
"Host, that's a brothel."
Xia Yi:......
What happened to these ancient people?
Blowing the river wind, listening to the sound of water, Xia Yi closed his eyes and fell on the big rock on the river beach.
