Chapter 47 Return to the village

"Aping, go and get a few corn and sweet potatoes..."

Sitting next to a fire in front of the open space, Xue Song directed Aping.

It has been a few days since I returned to Yangshan in the Ming Dynasty. After coming to the deep mountains, I found that the spiritual rice was not yet mature. After Xue Song used a natural halo to cover the entire mountain, he stopped taking care of it.

It just so happened that the village was about to build some adobe houses, so Xue Song was at the foot of the mountain to see if there was any place to help.

The weather has been pretty good recently. He has not sensed too much water vapor around the mountains. The village chief plans to take advantage of this time to take off more adobe bricks.

In recent years, the climate in Yangshan Mountain in Ming Dynasty has been good and the weather is good. The locusts that broke out before the autumn harvest last year were easily solved by Xue Song, which did not cause any losses to the villagers. Some surrounding villages are not optimistic. This year, many people have fled in the village.

The young and strong people in the village were constantly reclaiming wasteland. When Aping's grandfather learned that Xue Song, who had become a worm master, would come back every year, he also decided to expand the village.

With the guidance of the insect master, the villagers can also have a clearer grasp of the weather. The arrival of migrant tribes every year has also brought them a lot of advanced ideas outside the mountains.

The north is mostly stone mountains, and the soil is relatively thin, not enough for them to take off the blanks. The soil is dug back by the villagers from the river.

The soil was carried back, unloaded in the open space at the entrance of the village, sprinkled with wheat bran and short grass, and poured with water and used a shovel to make a uniform and viscous mud ball.

The men who did not participate in the busy farming around the Qingming Festival were busy, shoveling mud, lifting mud, and starting to take off the blanks.

Sprinkle the flat open space at the entrance of the village with wood ash, pass the wooden blank mold in water and place it on it, start filling it with mud in the mold, fill it up and knock it tightly, and then use a trowel to dip it with water to smooth the surface. This way the mold is ready to be started without missing edges and corners.

You can make hundreds of dollars in the morning, put all the removed adobe on the open space, and dry them evenly for two or three days, and then you can take them back to the yard to cover them with things to prevent them from being exposed to rain.

Once the roof tile, doors and windows are ready, you can build a new house.

Every household in the north sleeps in the earthen kang. Every year after the wheat harvest, they will be busy taking off the adobe and changing the kang, so they are all very mature.

The old people chatted and guided by the shade of the trees, and the children ran around in the village, and were scolded by the women who chose vegetables.

Because Xue Song was not skilled and disliked, he didn't participate much. He took Aping and the others to play on the side, raised a fire, and roasted sweet potatoes and corn next to him.

"Brother Song, give it!" Aping walked over with the corn and sweet potato in his arms, with a few yams inside.

"Yes." Xue Song took it and pulled it a few times and put it in the fire. He looked at a little girl standing timidly in the distance and couldn't help but feel curious. It was someone he had never seen before, and there was a hint of wormy aura on his body.

"That was from other places a few months ago, and the village was said to have suffered a disaster..." Aping looked at the little girl Xue Song pointed at and said. They were several families that ran from the east in spring this year. Grandpa set a place for them to live in.

This time, I built a house in the village and wanted to re-plan the residence in the village. However, the little girl that Brother Songzi looked at was a little weird. She was still wearing long-sleeved trousers when it was hot, and she was unwilling to play with the children in the village, so Aping was not very clear about the specific situation.

"Then you didn't invite someone to play with you?" Xue Song said to Aping. Aping was cheerful and liked novel things. He also liked to show himself in front of his friends. Because Xue Song used spiritual power to help Aping adjust his body, he was strong and the village chief's grandson, so he was a little leader among the children in the village.

"I went to ask, but that guy always ran home and didn't play with us!" At this point, Aping was also a little unhappy. He invited the little girl many times, but the guy was always far away, making his grandfather think that he had bullied her with the little guy in the village.

Later, he also invited him with his friends, but he died in vain, so they ignored the little girl. However, they also learned something from the children who escaped together, saying that the little girl was the daughter of the sacred tree, so the adults would take her with them when they ran away!

"Are you the daughter of the sacred tree?" Xue Song murmured. In this way, the people in the village knew something. Xue Song made up his mind and asked the village chief Ding De when the villagers were resting. If you have any requests, I believe that those families would not hide anything.

After making plans, Xue Song stopped paying attention. Seeing the little girl's appearance, he couldn't come forward to ask now, and told stories to Aping and the children who were surrounded by him waiting to eat roasted sweet potatoes and roasted corn.

...

"Brother Songzi, so that little boy can make the drawing real, is the magic pen Ma Liang you told us before?" Listening to Xue Song's experience on the journey, Aping asked. He used to pester Xue Song to tell him stories, and naturally he had heard of the magic pen Ma Liang's story. He also made a brush himself and fantasized that he could draw real things!

"Oh, that's not. The person's name is Senluo, and his ability is not given by a brush. It's innate." Xue Song and the children were telling the story of the boy with the hand of God. It was an incident that Yin Gu had solved. He had a green porcelain bowl that was drawn by the boy, which was very magical. Yin Gu used that bowl and Doctor Huaye to exchange a lot of things.

"Then is it true that you say he has a grandmother who is about the same age as him?" Aping asked again. Xue Song said that in the end, Senluo's grandmother was also resurrected, but she became a little girl, which surprised him very much.

"Of course, although the old lady has been resurrected, it is not in the human world, it is the world of insects. Never yearn for that world!" Xue Song took out the wine pot and took a sip, dug out a root of roasted corn from the fire and started to chew it.

The insects are a group of magical creatures, and they don’t even know whether they should be called creatures. They are neither born nor dead. When Senluo’s grandmother chose to formally call them ‘worms’, she was disconnected from everything in the world.

Although she can still take care of her grandson Senluo, when Senluo dies, everything in the world will be forgotten, wandering between life and death, slowly no longer being seen by anyone, and her own soul and memory will be gradually wiped out.

This is the world of insects. Compared with the death of this time, becoming an insect is unimaginable torment. Therefore, when he discovered that the wandering girl Yiyang wanted to merge with the water Gu and disappeared in the sea, he would stop him. When he met the girl possessed by the water mirror, he also advised the girl not to give up.

He traveled from the earth to the Great Wilderness and spent a good sixteen years. When Uncle Changchun and his friends gathered the power of the entire clan to help him activate the power of Kongsangguo's time travel and send him to the current world, he stayed in the complete darkness for a moment. That moment was extremely long, giving him the feeling that he was sinking endlessly, without any sense of being alive, and nothing was meaningless.

That was the darkness that made him feel scared when he remembered it!

"If it becomes the worm you mentioned, will it... be back?" The little girl in the distance came to Xue Song at some point and listened to the story. When she heard about the world of insects, she couldn't help but ask questions.
