Chapter 13 Stone Seed

Lu Yun then handed the stone crab to Shui Sheng and instructed: "Look for a hidden place in your village and bury these stone crabs!"
Shui Sheng couldn't put it down and held the two stone crabs, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
I heard Lu Yun ask him to bury this pair of stone crabs, and I was a little reluctant to leave.
So he asked, "Mr. Lu, can I take this stone crab home?"
Lu Yun smiled when he heard this. After all, he was a child and had the idea of ​​carrying the things he liked home.
Lu Yun turned around and asked: "Shui Sheng, let me ask you, are you willing to have enough food and clothing for your family, or do you think that the whole village can have food and clothing without worries?"
Shui Sheng turned his lively eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Of course my family is full, but my family is not enough. Dazhuang next door helped me drive away Ergouzi who bullied me this morning.
There is also Que'er, she often secretly gives me the pot crust at home...
By the way, there are two brothers, Big Tiger and Little Tiger, who recognize me as their elder brother. I want them to eat crabs!"
Hearing this, Lu Yun touched Shuisheng's little head and smiled and said, "That's right, since you want more people to eat crabs.
Just listen to me, hide this pair of stone crabs in places that others cannot find, and it is best to bury them in the soil.
One day, you will find that every household in your village will have endless crabs to eat!"
When Shui Sheng heard what Lu Yun said, he was surprised. He didn't understand how the crab made of stones could be as magical as the teacher said.
But he nodded obediently and thought about where to hide this pair of stone crabs in the village.
After a while, Shui Sheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I have a place where crabs are easy to feed!"
Then he looked happy and led Lu Yun to the foot of the mountain outside the village.
After a while, he pointed to the pool in front of him and said, "Sir, look at the good place here? I often come here to catch loaches!"
Lu Yun looked at the pool. Here was a small lake of about twenty acres. The bottom of the pond was the spiritual sand, the green grass was unkempt, and the water in the pond was rippling.
For stone crabs, it was a rare place to live, and then nodded: "This place is just right!"
"Then Mr. Lu, I'll buried these two crabs!"
Lu Yun nodded and agreed, and saw Shui Sheng looking around.
Seeing a withered willow tree by the pond, I ran over and digged a hole under the tree with a pair of small hands.
Because the soil is close to the pool, the soil is wet, and a foot-deep pit will be dug out in a short while.
Just as he was about to put the stone crab inside, Lu Yun, who followed him suddenly remembered something and asked Shui Sheng to give him the stone crab first.
The child was confused and didn't know what he wanted to do at this time, but he still obediently handed it to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun took the stone crab, and the two stone crabs turned red all over. Logically speaking, only cooked crabs are like this, but the color of the real crab is difficult to match.
In addition, I was in the village and there was no pigment to buy, so I made do with the red one.
Then Lu Yun held two stone crabs in his hand and whispered: "You two male and female crabs, today I have something to tell you, and remember what I said carefully.
This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and one day you two come back to life.
When you want to reproduce and survive, let your children extend to the top of your country, the more you will be better.
Remember, when you live, you must find another hidden place and never be caught, so as not to cause trouble!”
After saying that, he handed the stone crab to Shui Sheng. Shui Sheng looked at the two big crabs in his hand. This thing was heavy and made of stone. Will it really come alive?!
Curiously, he said timidly: "Sir, although I am a child, you said you buried these two crabs in the soil...
But can they... really survive? Don't lie to me?"
"How could it be? Believe that these two stone crabs will turn from death to life when the time comes!"
"When will they come back to life? Should I come here every day to dig them out and feed them some food?" Shui Sheng looked hopeful and looked faintly expectant in his eyes.
After hearing this, Lu Yun thought for a moment, then took out the brush hidden in the paper in his sleeve, pointed to the dead tree in front of him and asked, "Why did this tree die?"
"I heard from my grandfather that it was because of the heavy rain that the tree was struck by thunder and finally withered!"
Hearing this, Lu Yun looked at the willow tree in front of him. The willow tree had already withered and even the bark had fallen off a lot. So he used a pen to apply a stroke on the trunk.
This stroke is regarded as a branch, so he instructed: "Shuisheng, remember that this stone crab is like two seeds, and cannot be dug out.
As for when they come alive, you just wait for the dead tree to sprout, and then every September, you will see countless dense crabs.
At that time, not to mention you and your friends, even in the villages, there will be countless crabs to eat!”
Speaking of this, Lu Yun looked at the child in front of him and said solemnly: "But you have to keep your mouth shut. Remember not to tell others what happened today, otherwise this crab will not be alive!"
Hearing this, Shui Sheng wanted to speak but stopped. He really wanted to tell some of his good partners in the same village about what he saw and heard today.
But then I thought about it, as long as I can really eat crabs every day in the future, what does it matter if I don’t tell others?
Then he nodded: "I know, sir, I will definitely not tell anyone!"
The reason why Lu Yun called Shui Sheng not to others was his consideration.
After all, if one day his painting environment improves, he can draw creatures.
Then the pair of stone crabs buried today will break out of the ground and reproduce in large quantities.
By then, the news that crabs are abundant in this place will spread like wildfire!
Lu Yun asked Shuisheng to conceal this matter to prevent the disclosure of the real secret. If the secret is leaked, it will attract the covetous people. His original intention was to help the villagers here, not harm them.
After a while, he buried the stone crab. Seeing this, Lu Yun took Shui Sheng back to the fisherman's residence.
It didn't take long for night to fall...
Unlike Lu Yun’s previous life, people at this time are still in the rhythm of life where they work from sunrise and rest from sunset.
In addition, there was not much entertainment at night, so most villagers went to bed early.
As for the old fisherman's family, because of Lu Yun, the guest, the oil lamp that he usually doesn't use is lit in the house.
Let’s look at the house. At this time, Shui Sheng had been playing for a day and fell asleep in the inner room with his eldest mother.
Only the old fisherman was chatting with Lu Yun. After some exchanges, Lu Yun learned that the old couple had two sons in their family.
The eldest brother was out for the boat, while the second brother was selling fishing goods in nearby towns.
Shuisheng is the second child. Because of the busy life in the town, he had no choice but to entrust his child to the old couple to take care of him.
At this moment, the topic they were talking about was Jiang Shendu, who was interested in Lu Yun.
But when he saw that the old fisherman sighed helplessly, "It's really a sin. I don't know where he violated Grandpa Jiang Shen's taboo.
In another seven days, all of us in ten miles and eight villages will have to go to Jiangshendu to worship the gods!”
"Old man, what's wrong with the Jiangshendu you mentioned?"
"Ten years ago, in the villages near us, there were often villagers who dreamed of a person who called himself the Jiangshen, asking people to pay tribute to the Jiangshen Ferry every July!"
Speaking of this, the old man shook his head helplessly: "At first, the villagers didn't care, but many people went out to fish, and when they passed by Jiangshen Ferry, they for some reason they capsized the boat, but fortunately no one died.
Moreover, the river flooded every month, destroying countless fields and houses. The people really couldn't make it. In the end, the ten miles and a few villages were discussing that each village would offer sacrifices in July every year.
At that time, in addition to countless livestock, fruits, and fine wine will be poured into the river, the worst thing is that the river god will also ask people to offer him a beautiful virgin!"
