Just after I agreed to take on this entry-level task, Father Carter drifted away. I immediately woke up from my dream and found that I was actually taking a nap leaning on the door frame, and the green kappa in front of me closed my eyes.

Close your eyes, as if falling asleep.

"Kappa?"

I called out to wake the mysterious creature from its sleep.

But the first thing the kappa said when he woke up was still: "Please give me a cucumber!"

...Kappa is essentially a repeater, I remember that.

"Put aside the cucumbers and so on. Let me ask you first, did you dig that pond?"

"There are no cucumbers..." The kappa walked towards the pond in a depressed mood, "Of course I dug it out there, and it will be my home from now on."

I followed it closely and asked, "What other skills do you have? Can you fish? How about farming?"

The pond is about three meters long and one and a half meters wide, and is located squarely by the river. Although the soil on the river bank is soft, it is not comparable to the muddy river beach. Ordinary people cannot dig like this without tools.

project.

What's more, the water in the pond is extremely clear, without any turbidity of muddy water. It should be dug very deep. Just looking at it this way, if the kappa can fish or something, then I will have an extra free labor...

I am simply a genius!

"I don't know how to fish. But digging a hole is very simple. I dug all the way from the mountain, then swam all the way until I dug out by the river, and here I am." The half-meter-tall kappa walked with nimble steps.

"On the mountain?"

"Yes, that's the mountain!"

Following the kappa's fingers, I saw the majestic Madras Mountain...

This thing digs a hole from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain with bare hands?

Are you a master of shield machine?!

"What? This pond leads to the mountain?!" I exclaimed.

The kappa glanced at me with his big mung bean eyes and said, "I can't walk because it's too hot. I don't have cucumbers to eat and I don't have the strength, so I can only dig holes and swim faster."

This has nothing to do with cucumbers!

I walked to the river and looked at the clear water bottom. Sure enough, I didn't see the bottom of the pond. I only saw through the water body a very deep underwater cave under the pond. It looked gloomy, like the intestines of a giant creature.

Don't know where it is spreading.

It is definitely impossible to dig a hole all the way. The kappa probably dug into a certain spring from Madas Mountain, swam down the river into the underground river, and then groped his way through the underground river before breaking out of the ground.

.

The reason why this pond is so clear is because the water source is not the surface water of the river, but the groundwater gushing from the underground river.

Boy, this thing dug a well for me!

Kappa seem to have the habits of amphibians. They are very resistant to dry air and prefer to live in warm and cool water.

I saw it walked to the edge of the pond, jumped easily, and jumped into the cold spring water. It was bobbing on the water comfortably, squinting its eyes as if it were soaking in a hot spring.

"Kappa, do you want to learn farming from me?" I tried to be polite and easy-going, so as not to let him see through my purpose.

"Farming? What is that?" The kappa looked at me doubtfully.

"It's just about letting things grow in the ground. If you want to eat cucumbers, why don't you learn how to farm with me, so you can eat as much as you want." I said in a persuasive way.

The kappa's originally uninterested look changed a lot. He seemed to be imagining that there were cucumbers growing in front of him and he could eat as many as he wanted. He swallowed and said, "Really? Can I learn it? Please give me cucumbers!"

"

"It's nothing to grow a cucumber, you have no pursuit!" I took the opportunity to stand proudly with my hands behind my back, showing off the demeanor of a master, "I know more than that. If you want to be my teacher, is there anything you want to learn? Tell me.

Well, what do you want to learn?"

"What can I learn?" The kappa was confused by my sudden change of attitude. His small eyes were filled with confusion, and he completely forgot that he was going to learn farming just now.

The kappa kept rolling in the pond, looking very excited: "Teach me quickly! Teach me quickly!"

Seeing that its curiosity was rising, I asked Shiran and said, "I'll teach you to ask the fairy Fuluan and ask for divination. If you can know the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, will you learn from it?"

The kappa asked: "Can I eat cucumbers?"

I thought about it, unless I went out to be a liar and used cucumbers as fortune tellers, who would give cucumbers to the fortune teller, and said decisively: "No!"

The kappa shook his head and said, "If you don't want to learn, don't learn!"

My expression did not waver: "Then I will teach you Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin Yang, Mohism, medicine, reading sutras, chanting Buddha's name, paying homage to the true saint, etc., will you learn it or not?"

The kappa continued to ask: "Can I eat cucumbers?"

After learning from hundreds of schools of thought, one can establish a sect after all. No matter how simple Confucius was, he still had to bring dried meat to his disciples. How could anyone come to his door with a cucumber as a gift?

I shook my head and said, "No!"

The kappa shook his head and said, "If you don't want to learn, don't learn!"

My expression was a little stiff, "Then I'll teach you to rest your food and guard your crops, be quiet and do nothing, meditate, practice precepts, observe fasting, sleep or do meritorious deeds, and incorporate them into the Dingzuo Pass. Are you going to learn it or not?"

The kappa asked reluctantly: "Can I eat cucumbers after learning?"

I answered honestly: "You won't feel hungry after studying. You will feel full when you breathe air every day. From now on, you will say goodbye to cucumbers."

"If you don't learn, don't learn!"

My face darkened, "Then I'll teach you how to massage your navel, make it with herbs, burn thatch and make a tripod, add red lead, refine autumn stones, collect yin to replenish... Bah, if I know these skills, I can still use them with you."

This guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is fooling around here! If you like to learn, get out!"

The kappa heard me say a lot of things that he didn't understand. Seeing that my face was getting uglier and uglier, he finally sensed that the situation was not good, so he jumped out of the pond, grabbed my trouser legs, and said in a sharp voice:

"Learn, learn, learn! Tell me to learn anything! Just give me cucumbers and I will learn everything!"

...If I had known that it could be done with just one cucumber, why would I have spent so much effort? I still kept my mouth shut and said, "You kappa, you don't learn this or that, but what will you do?" I didn't say it out loud, but I was otherwise polite and easy-going.

The words will pop out first, so shut up and look at the kappa.

The kappa looked at me nervously, his eyes unblinking, and he grabbed my pants leg and started a new round of rocket headbutts.

"Forget it, just call me teacher. If you behave well, I will teach you the farming method! First, say to me: Farming method is good!"

"Good farming skills! Teach me how to grow cucumbers!"

I frowned and looked at this unconscious kappa. Although it looked ugly and weird, it still always put on an expression of "I'm very cute, give me a cucumber" and made the first request: "Then let's make a three-part agreement. First.

, you can only move around in pastures and ponds, and cannot run around. Secondly, if you are seen by others, you must hide immediately and actively avoid situations where people are present. Thirdly, you must not speak in front of others."

"If you violate any of these three rules, I, Marcus, will starve to death and die outside. If I jump from here, I won't give you a cucumber!"
