Zhang Ke was not polite and sent several people around in a chaotic manner.
Those who are strong can turn over the sand and mud, and the older ones can level the vegetable plot and do some light work.
Zhang Ke himself mainly did hard work that required a lot of effort, such as lifting stones and dividing bricks.
He only arranges and does not impose working hours.
When the villagers came, they each brought tools and other supplies, all of which were sufficient for their use.
Some women had nothing to do, so they simply took the children and came to help, cooking and organizing.
A few mountain kids mingled in the crowd, running around and making fun, and were scolded by the women from time to time.
The tranquility of the mountain village was broken. It had not been so lively for a long time. Muramasa was also alarmed and came over without saying a word. He just watched Zhang Ke working, smiled and nodded.
Two days later, he came to Zhang Ke with a land deed, which the village official went to the town to handle. After discussing with the original head of the household, Zhang Ke was officially settled in Xiaowangzhuang.
Zhang Ke was a little confused. Seeing Muramasa's proud face, he was waiting for Zhang Ke to praise him.
Zhang Ke didn't hesitate. He signed and took his fingerprints. He unconsciously felt much more at ease and carefully put the deed away.
I also find it funny. What does this mean? I work to become the boss and rent a house to become the head of the household!
After that, more people from the village came to help, which was a sign of recognition.
Zhang Ke pondered for a long time, and since he had settled down, he simply went ahead and stopped the current project.
He asked a few people to knock down the house and push the cart into the mountain again. This time he was not alone.
He took several villagers and spent several days pulling out a large amount of fine earth, stone and wood from the mountains.
After setting off the firecrackers and digging the foundation, Zhang Ke organized everyone to work together. Since there were enough manpower this time, the work went quickly.
However, Zhang Ke provided plenty of food and food every day, and drank wine in the evening. Everyone was happy and working in full swing.
When they started working, many villagers discovered that this piece of paper was good at almost everything.
The work is meticulous and delicate, and the command is also very orderly. If anyone has any questions, they will be explained in an easy-to-understand manner without hiding anything.
After more than ten days, the shelter was basically formed, and not only did the villagers eat well, but their skills also improved a lot.
Zhang Ke followed his own wishes and built three large tile-roofed houses with blue brick floors.
These were made by Zhang Ke's own hands by cutting blue strips of stone every night. The green bricks were only the size of the palm of his hand and were engraved with solid runes. This was an unintentional move.
After the floor tiles were laid, all the talisman tiles were inadvertently connected and connected into one, forming a simple field.
Although it doesn't have much effect, it can calm the mind and calm the house, prevent insects and moths, and is strong and durable. I can't help but be surprised.
The walls, pillars and roof were also built accordingly. With the approval of the village leader, Zhang Ke expanded the yard several times according to his wishes.
A little more thought was put into the courtyard, and the cobblestone paved passage from the courtyard door to the house door divided the courtyard into two.
A pavilion was built on the left side, which is not too big, but enough for three or five people to sit around. The rest of the area, except for the vegetable plot, is completely paved with lawn, and there is a foot-wide aisle in the gap.
On the right side, it was leveled, sheds were erected, many herb shelves were built, and a chicken coop and doghouse were built. The whole courtyard was very simple and nothing out of the ordinary.
Zhang Ke made the furniture in the house himself, and the villagers rushed to help. The carpenter's skills can be used at any time.
During this period, Qiao Sao's husband also came back. He was a simple man. He didn't say anything after he came over, he just worked hard.
He is an orthodox carpenter who has worked hard and his craftsmanship is different.
Moreover, he is quite talented. He knows everything at a glance, masters it as soon as he learns it, and becomes perfect after a while. Zhang Kean calls himself "wonderful".
Choosing an auspicious day, Zhang Ke put on a brand new Taoist robe, lit firecrackers with a smile, opened the door to welcome guests, and set up a few tables amidst the sound of firecrackers.
We invited the helpful villagers and their families to attend the housewarming banquet, and after having a drink, we officially settled in.
The next day Zhang Ke went to visit Jin Qiao's home. Jin Qiao's mother's illness was caused by years of fatigue and wind evil entering the body, and it was not difficult to cure.
Zhang Ke prescribed Fu Shui, but did not use quick-acting methods. Instead, he mainly used Fu Shui combined with medicine and dietary supplements for treatment. It is estimated that it will take about half a year to recover.
He had probably left the place by then and told Jin Qiao not to publicize it outside.
Ordinary days passed like this day by day.
He knew that he might not have the opportunity to live such a leisurely pastoral life in the future, so he cherished this wonderful time.
evening.
In the bedroom, the oil lamp next to the table exudes dim light, which is warm and cozy.
All the wood in the residence is unpainted and polished very smooth, maintaining the original atmosphere. The quiet residence feels a bit lonely and deserted.
After Zhang Ketuna finished, his mind began to think wildly, and his soul seemed to have taken off its armor and became sensitive and fragile.
There is a stack of talisman paper spread out on the wooden table, one foot square. This large talisman paper is specially used by him to perform the "talisman folding technique".
The cinnabar is spread out, the paperweight is pressing down on a corner, the talisman pen is held in the hand, the thoughts in the mind are scattered, and the words are written slowly according to what is in the heart.
The runes were printed on the talisman paper one by one. They did not deliberately activate the mana, they were just written casually.
These are some of my thoughts and expressions of my inner emotions while working these days.
It contains things such as: fatigue, hard work, joy, communication, cleaning, etc. Gradually, my thoughts began to unify.
It was late at night and everything was quiet.
Occasionally, a few dogs barked outside the door, and a unique atmosphere that can only be found in mountain villages flooded into my heart.
The runes on the talisman paper began to move closer to this direction, and pages of talisman paper were filled with writing and put aside.
When I started writing again, my mind turned around and I randomly wrote the character "home".
I couldn't help but pause, and looked at the rune in ecstasy.
The earliest pictographic writing of "home" is a picture of a house with pigs penned in it.
In ancient times, hunting was not easy. It was first discovered that pigs could be domesticated to provide food for life.
In order to protect pigs from external predators, they can only be kept in houses and live with people. This is the earliest way of writing.
It is the character "人", with both sides hanging down to the ground, symbolizing the roof to protect from wind and rain, and the inside is roughly shaped like a pig. This is the origin of the character "家".
Zhang Ke looked at this word, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and suddenly took out another talisman paper.
He no longer wrote in runes, but followed what he thought in his heart.
First, make a hijab to make the roof.
Pause for a moment and draw another horizontal line to symbolize the sect, which is also his home.
Then draw another horizontal line, which is the family, and then continue to draw another horizontal line, which is my current residence.
After thinking about it, one vertical line runs through three horizontal lines, which means that one is involved with the sect, family, and residence.
After thinking about it carefully for a moment, I added a horizontal line at the top to represent parents, and double dots on the right side to represent wife and children. A brand new word "home" appeared on the paper.
Revealing stability, peace and harmony.
He couldn't help but smile and began to appreciate it. This was a seal script. This was his understanding of home.
At the same time, he discovered a secret for writing seal script.
In dreams, taking Chinese characters as an example, countless scholars have deduced them based on the glyphs and meanings, and summarized them into several stages:
Oracle bone inscriptions - bronze inscriptions - seal script (big seal script, small seal script) - official script - regular script - cursive script - running script
For Zhang Ke, the evolution of Chinese characters in dreams has been thoroughly studied through the interpretation of scholars of all ages.
And he only needs to make forward or reverse deductions based on various interpretations.
With targeted insights and understanding, it can be easily transformed into your own seal script.
Just like the word "home", this realization tonight is crucial to my future.
Zhang Ke thought: Apart from what he just thought of, what other things can speed up his understanding of seal script?
The seal character "家" reveals a lot of information.
He stared at the seal text and murmured to himself: "Sentiment is actually an expression of emotion. What can express emotion best?"
At this time, I suddenly heard a dog barking, which was full of vigilance, and then other dogs also barked, as if to communicate with each other.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he slapped himself on the head.
"Voice is the best tool for conveying emotions, and there is nothing more suitable for expressing emotions than it!"
The predecessors have already concluded this, but I am just stupid and have only realized it today.
Use a pen to write the three words "listen, read, and write" on the rune paper. This is actually the correct way to open the runes.
The successive realizations made him unable to stop.
At this moment, he was flooded with thoughts, and he took advantage of the opportunity to write thoughtfully, recording the fulfilling insights at this moment on each piece of paper.
It wasn't until the crow of a cock that he suddenly woke up from his trance.
Stand up and go out, the sun is rising in the sky.
Facing the east, Zhang Ke took a deep breath, gathered purple energy to practice, and carried out morning classes in an orderly manner.
Although he was curious about what he had realized last night, he still suppressed himself. Restraint was also a kind of progress.
After the morning class is over, the meal is finished, the hands and feet are finished, and the mind is completely settled.
Only then did I take out the dozens of pages of talisman paper I wrote yesterday and study them carefully.
This investment took two days, and finally I understood all the insights I had about the "talisman" seal script.
Through the three aspects of "listening, writing and reading", they are connected together and summarized in two words:
--Note
This is his new understanding of "runes". "Listening" represents information access, "writing" represents information recording, and "reading" represents information expression and transmission.
His understanding is: hear the information, record the understanding, and then express and convey it, and this is the true meaning of "runes":
--inherited--
Inheritance is the continuation of a civilization. The original owners of this world were not humans, but other races.
The reason why mankind can rise depends on the inheritance from generation to generation.
The limitations of oral communication will be interrupted by various unexpected circumstances, but words will not.
A large part of the reason why Zhang Ke chose the profession of "talisman master" is that he believed that in the continuation of civilization, runes can better pass on the inheritance of civilization.
In the days that followed, Zhang Ke sorted out all the rune knowledge he had learned.
The understanding of "notes" can deepen your understanding of "runes", but what you have learned now is just some superficial knowledge, and there is still a long way to go before you can actually apply it.
Zhang Ke actually felt a little sacred in his heart at this time.
Maybe I will never be able to use this rune to its full potential in my life.
But be sure to record it, others may carry it forward in the future.
