The location of Yae Mansion is relatively remote, outside the city of Heian Kyo.
Dorothy came out of the city and strolled leisurely on the country road. As she walked, she admired the pastoral scenery that was difficult to see from the outside world.
On both sides of the path are endless farmlands. These farmlands are full of spiritual energy and fertile soil. You can tell at a glance that they are suitable for growing various spiritual materials.
At this time, it happened to be the planting season, and many Japanese witches were working in the fields at this time.
Although they are witches, the way these extraordinary beings farm at this time is actually not much different from that of ordinary people. They all face the loess and back to the sky, which looks very hard.
Planting elixirs is a very troublesome thing. Some precious spiritual seeds need to be carefully guided and activated by magic. This kind of thing is not difficult. The only problem is that the activity status of each seed is different.
Therefore, the magic power required for activation is also different.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be done in batches, and the peasant witches can only be patiently spent time grinding it bit by bit.
And it’s not just about activating the seeds and then letting them go. After the spiritual plants sprout, the spiritual energy supply still needs to be adjusted according to different growth conditions, and the spiritual energy supply needs to be checked from time to time to see if there are any pests or anything like that.
In short, this is a very troublesome thing, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The house witch stood on the roadside and watched an elderly mother-in-law teaching her little granddaughter how to farm.
"Watch it, girl, just like this, like that, like this again..."
The magic power bloomed in the old woman's hands, and she very skillfully transferred the weak magic power into the seeds of the spiritual plant in her hand. The originally quiet seeds soon emitted a weak fluorescence, and then sprouts emerged from the cocoons.
"This way you can germinate. Then just bury the germinated seeds in the soil. Have you learned how to do it?"
The old man demonstrated it once, and then asked his granddaughter beside him.
"Well, it looks pretty simple, grandma, I learned it."
The half-grown girl, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, nodded, then picked up a seed and began to input magic power.
However, it is obvious that the little witch who is still young does not have good control over her own magic power. She inputs too much magic power at once, and the fragile seeds quickly mutate under the excessive magic power, and then begin to become demonic.
, eventually grew into a big mouth full of sharp teeth and full of mucus, and bit into the confused little witch.
The otaku witch who was squatting on the road watching this scene was stunned. She didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, but seeing that the little witch might be injured, she quickly stretched out her hand to save people, but a sharp cold light swept across
, the mutated spiritual plant that was showing off its power just now has been cut into two pieces.
"What a fast scythe."
Dorothy looked at the old woman holding the sickle and couldn't help but sigh.
Even to her, a god of martial arts, the scythe struck just now was amazing. Whether it was the speed, angle, or strength of the sword, it was all perfect. In terms of technique, she was considered to be extremely proficient and reached the pinnacle of excellence.
It is obvious that such skillful skills cannot be achieved overnight, and must spend a lot of time and energy to practice hard.
However, the house witch looked at the old woman's wrinkled face and was not too surprised by this.
A witch's appearance generally depends on her temperament, so one cannot rashly judge a witch's age based on her appearance. Some witches who look young may be old monsters with young minds.
But in contrast, most of those witches who look old are not too young. After all, the aging of the mind also takes time to wear out. The teenage witches have gone through many vicissitudes of life and have an aging mentality. After all, they are only a minority.
This old woman is so old that her face is full of wrinkles. It can only be said that she must have had a lot of life experience. She must be a witch who is hundreds of years old, and it is normal for such an old witch to have one or two unique skills.
I think this mother-in-law has been a farmer for hundreds of years, and the skill of wielding a sickle must have been honed into instinct through day after day of work.
"That's right, my grandma is the best at using sickles in the village. During the harvest season every year, my family is always the most efficient."
And after hearing Dorothy's compliment, the frightened little witch just wiped the spiritual plant mucus on her face, then raised her head and chest, and said so proudly.
However, before she finished speaking, the old woman had already covered her little granddaughter's mouth, then pressed her head and bowed humbly to the witch.
"Grandpa, please forgive my little granddaughter for her offence."
The weather-beaten old man could tell at a glance from the clothes on the young witch in front of him that he was a big shot. Although he didn't know if he was that kind of Chinese grandpa, but whether he was or not, he was definitely not the most humble farm girl like them.
offensive.
Anyway, just apologize first.
But the young witch still didn't understand what happened. She didn't understand why her grandma had to apologize to others even though she didn't say anything wrong. What she said was clearly true. Grandma had the best planting technology in the village.
of people.
The little witch was a little aggrieved, her eyes were red, and she wanted to refute, but grandma kept covering her mouth, silencing her full of refutations.
"Mother-in-law, I am not a grandfather, and the child did not say anything wrong. You don't have to do this."
The house witch quickly moved away from the bows of the old and the young, she said this.
However, the old woman did not straighten up. She still held her granddaughter down, and then she and her granddaughter bowed humbly and apologized.
This made Dorothy a little helpless.
It is easy to break the ghosts in the city, but it is difficult to break the ghosts in the heart.
Even though she has sent Yin Zhenaki to hell and demolished almost every part of Japan Island, the rules formed on this island over the past tens of thousands of years cannot be erased in a short while.

"Okay, I forgive your offense. You can raise your head, otherwise I will be really angry."
She had no choice but to keep a straight face and pretend to be her grandpa.
"Yes, yes, we listen to you, grandpa."
After getting the young grandfather's understanding, the old woman stood up straight, while the little witch who was quite proud just now was hiding behind the old man, with a pair of big watery eyes that were a little scared, a little confused, and a little bit.
Looking at Dorothy curiously.
The house witch smiled gently at the little witch, and then looked at the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, do you know about the Witch's House?"
Dorothy asked.
"Witch's House? Oh, you know, you know, I am also a member of the Witch's House. A few days ago, Lord Tengu came to the village to inform everyone to join that Witch's House. They said that if you join, you will get a share of the land."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, but then she said with a smile.
"To be honest, grandpa, everyone in the village didn't believe that there was such a pie-in-the-sky thing at first. It was just because Tengu-sama said it that everyone didn't dare not listen, so they all signed up."
Perhaps it was because this young grandpa was indeed kinder. The experienced old man knew that it would be easier to win their favor if you acted more relaxedly towards this kind of grandpa, so she relaxed herself a little and started talking.
"But I didn't expect that the grandfathers of the Witch's House are really good people. They actually allocated the fields to us, and they also promised that we only need to pay 10% of the income from the fields, and the remaining 90% will be paid.
our own."
When the old lady talked about this, she couldn't help but smile.
After all, when she worked as a farmhand for the Chinese grandfathers, not to mention leaving 90% of the harvest in the fields, if they failed to meet the harvest quota of the grandfathers, they themselves would have to pay compensation for not taking good care of their grandfathers' spiritual fields.
loss.
Of course, she also knew that whoever believed the nice things said by the grandpas would be stupid. Those grandpas from the Witch's House said nice things, but it would be impossible to really leave 90% for them. In the heart of the old man, 90% would definitely
It belongs to the grandparents, and being able to truly leave one achievement for themselves is a beautiful thing that they could not even imagine in the past.
And, what if, if I meet someone who keeps his word...
Forget it, there is no such thing as a misfortune. Instead of believing in the promises of grandpas, the old man would rather believe that his spiritual field can produce 100,000 catties per mu this year.
"Well, that's a good thing. In fact, I also joined the Witch's House. Now the entire Japanese island is owned by the Witch's House. We Chinese people, like my mother-in-law, all work for the Witch's House. These
Grandpa is from outside the island, so he means what he says."
Dorothy smiled and said this.
"Is that so?"
The old woman who had been farming for her whole life couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the words of the Chinese grandfather in front of her. For her, who had never left the village very much in her life, it was really unimaginable that the entire Japanese island changed hands.
But since the Chinese grandfathers say that the Witch’s House keeps its promises, then...
It's over, it must be the same thing. I hope I can keep half of the harvest this year.
The old woman thought secretly in her heart.
House Witch: "......"
How good an old farmer's acting skills can be? Dorothy can roughly see the old man's disappointment even without turning on his mind-reading skills, which makes people speechless.
Damn, you Chinese people really deserve to die. How come your reputation is so bad?
Originally, she wanted to use the reputation of the Chinese, the original rulers of Japan, to promote her own association in disguise, but Dorothy never expected that this would have the opposite effect, so she had to quickly change the topic.
"Mother-in-law, in fact, the witch's house treats everyone equally. You see, we Chinese have to farm together now. I have never farmed before. Can you teach me how to farm? Otherwise,
It would be bad if the piece of land I allocated was left uncultivated."
She quickly pretended to be asking for advice.
Of course, this is just an excuse. Dorothy also knows a little bit about potions. Farming is naturally easy for her. It is not difficult at all. She just wants to take a look at the farming level of Japan Island.
.
"Well, it's really not good to be in a hurry. I just want to teach my granddaughter how to farm. Grandpa, if you don't mind, just come along."
How could an old man who had been farming land all his life listen to the words of letting the land fall into disuse? Although she did not think that this young grandpa, who looked tender and tender and had a pampered body, could really farm the land, but everyone said that
, the old man decided to teach him a lesson.
She was not pitying her grandpa, but she was pitying the field. Don't let her ignorant grandpa destroy the spiritual field.
At that moment, with this simple thought in mind, the old lady took out two seeds again and gave one to each of Dorothy and her granddaughter. She also took out a seed, explained and demonstrated it in detail again, and then encouraged them with her eyes.
Everyone has a try.
The little granddaughter might have been frightened by the demonized seeds before, so she didn't dare to try. She just looked at Dorothy quietly.
Naturally, the otaku witch is not a coward, just kidding, she is very good at farming.
At that moment, she skillfully input magic power to activate the seeds in her hands, and then...
Then nothing happened, the seed turned over silently, not bothering to offend her.
Dorothy: "????"
Good guy, I was despised by a seed, how can I bear it?
The otaku witch with a tic-tac-toe popping out of her forehead gathered her magic power and immediately wanted to give this unruly seed a set of advanced magic potion cultivation procedures so that it could directly change into the shape she wanted.
But before she could act, the old woman reached out and took the seed from her hand, and then encouraged her with a smile.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Grandpa, maybe you were born to do this... Bah, bah, bah, look at what I said with such a stupid mouth, what I want to say
You are really talented in farming, and it really likes your power, grandpa, so it is a little greedy and wants to eat more of this seed."
The old woman said this, then she stretched out her hand and tapped the seed. Suddenly the small seed broke out of the cocoon and sprouted. A small goldfish emerged from it, and then pointed the fish tail at Dorothy.
"Haha, grandpa, this little guy is a little shy."
Dorothy: "????"
The otaku witch was really stunned this time. She looked at the old woman in shock.
Wow, what kind of pava is this? It can actually communicate with plants?
There are many intelligent plants in the witch world, but obviously this Japanese food crop called fish grass is not among them. It is obviously a low-IQ spiritual plant, otherwise it would not be regarded as a food plant.
.
Dorothy has eaten this fish grass during this time. It looks like fish, but actually tastes more like tofu. The meat is very delicate and melts in your mouth. It is quite delicious.
"Mother-in-law, does this fish grass have thoughts?"
Dorothy couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not."
The old woman said it matter-of-factly.
"But plants are also life, and as long as they are life, they always have a heart. Although this fish plant has no intelligence, I have been growing fish plants all my life, and I can barely understand the emotions and needs of these guys."
The old man stroked the fish grass in his hand, and the silly little fish rubbed the old man's fingers affectionately.
"Actually, people say that the fish grass I grow is the fattest and the best. People often ask me the secret, but I really don't have any secret. At first, I just thought that we grow these fish grass for food, so before harvesting, we should put them
It’s only natural that the fish and grass are well served.”
"But later I discovered that the fish and grass we harvested were actually just corpses. Fish and grass will die as soon as the mother gives birth to seeds. These guys are actually quite short-lived, and if I can make them have this short-lived
If you want to live a more comfortable and happy life, why not?"
"And the happy dead fish and grass seem to be more delicious, and they will produce more seeds and become stronger, so there will be another bumper harvest next year."
The old lady revealed her unique skills without hiding anything.
"Um, do plants have hearts too?"
Dorothy looked down at the seeds and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she raised her head, looked seriously at the old man in front of her, and sincerely asked for advice.
"Mother-in-law, I want to learn farming."
In this way, the house witch planted a field for a day.
