Chapter 1016 Learn Now

"Master Han, where did you dig this up from?"

Master Han took out another large bundle from his storage ring and threw it on the ground.

“I visited the temples in the mountains to the east and south. I heard that it is very suitable for planting here, as it is cold-resistant. There are quite a few planted on the slope below the temple, so I dug some up.”

Song Chunxue was somewhat surprised, and after a long while, she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Daoist Han. It's kind of you to go to such lengths."

Master Han glanced at her sideways, his expression arrogant, "Unlike you, you're incompetent yourself, yet you still make things difficult for Xie Zheng."

After saying that, he turned and went to the courtyard.

"Huh?" Song Chunxue was completely confused. "What does he mean?"

Xie Zheng clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips. "It's nothing, you don't need to overthink it."

No, if that were the case, Xie Zheng would explain it to her seriously.

She was both angry and amused. "I suspect they think I'm bullying you."

"No, absolutely not." Xie Zheng picked up a small bundle and walked towards the upper corner. "Let's plant some there, and some more on the northwest side. Will they survive along the ridges?"

"It can survive, it's very easy to survive. This thing is actually not good in the humid and warm south. I've heard that many people have heard that because they reproduce so quickly, they can't be stopped. Even when people set fire to them, they can't be burned to death."

That would be best; it's better for things that can survive well in this place to have a lowly life.

Just when the two of them were about to be defeated, Wuji and Changfeng returned.

There were two other people with them, dressed in rags, their eyes darting around, seemingly embarrassed to see them.

"Master, these two are beggars who wanted to ask us for some food on their way." Changfeng said as he walked into the courtyard. "You can wait here while I go inside and get some food."

Wuji looked around and saw that only the two of them were planting trees. "Uncle-Master, where are the other three?"

"He went to the county, probably to buy wood and bricks. He insists on building me a few new houses..."

Who wants to build a new house?

Master Han came out from outside, carrying a wooden basin in his hand, and poured out the water used for washing his face.

"You bumpkin." Xie Zheng knew that Master Han had his own ideas.

As expected, Master Han frowned, "Why didn't you wait for me to return?"

“Tu Dan’er’s mouth, he pitifully said he wanted to build a house, I said forget it, but he said he didn’t have a home, and this place would be his home in the future,” Song Chunxue spread her hands, “I can only let him be.”

She quickly added, "But he just went to buy building materials. As for how to build a house, Tu Dan'er doesn't know anything about it. It's better if you, Master Han, take charge of the overall situation."

"Okay, that's fine."

Song Chunxue suppressed a laugh, feeling that Master Han was just like Tu Dan'er and the others, taking things very seriously.

Not long after, Changfeng and Wuji got rid of the two beggars, giving them food, noodles, and some loose silver.

The two beggars left with profuse thanks, and as they turned away, they wiped away tears, which made everyone feel uneasy.

Song Chunxue suddenly remembered that there were actually a few families on the estate who were on the verge of collapse, located behind the mountain to the north, whose head of household was surnamed Huang.

After planting the trees, she changed into simpler clothes and went to visit the people in the houses.

She even went to their house to beg for food back then.

Back then, their lives weren't this difficult.

But if his senior brother were to accompany him, he would definitely be able to see the problem.

It is said that the Huang family's courtyard was poorly located, facing the temple gate on the opposite mountain, which is not something that ordinary mortals can suppress.

Their lives were already difficult enough, let alone building another house, so they could only make do with what they had.

Huang San's wife was in very poor health and was almost paralyzed.

Aside from cooking a few bowls of rice at home, I can't do any other heavy work.

Because Huang San's parents had helped her, she wanted to go and see them.

After lunch, just as everyone finished their meditation and was chatting and drinking tea in the courtyard, Tudan'er and the others returned.

Several large trucks followed behind them, with neatly bundled blue bricks tied to them.

"Oh my god, this slope of yours almost killed my donkey! Why do you live so high up? And every year when you're hauling grain, isn't the donkey exhausted?"

The man in charge of escorting the cart was only wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, holding a whip in his hand, and leaning against the cellar platform, panting heavily.

He turned to look at the three young men accompanying him and couldn't help but say enviously, "It's good to be young. You've walked so far and were just helping push the cart without even breaking a sweat."

"Alas, we're all old and useless now." He was missing a front tooth, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. "Hey, kid, give me a bowl of your family's fermented vegetable broth to drink."

Tudan looked at Changyun, "There doesn't seem to be any fermented liquid in the kitchen, why don't you go check?"

Only my uncle knows how to make fermented vegetable broth. My master has only been back for a few days. How could there be that stuff in the kitchen?

"Huh? You don't have fermented rice water? How is that possible? What will farmers do if they don't have fermented rice water and get heatstroke in the summer?" The gap-toothed old man got up and walked towards the gate of the yard. "I'll go take a look. You young people probably haven't even been in the kitchen before."

At this moment, Master Zhang came out carrying a large bowl of water. "I'm sorry, brother, we really don't have any fermented bean curd at home. No one lived here before. But we have warm water. Would you like some?"

"Okay, thank you." The old man finished his water in one gulp. "There seem to be a lot of people in the yard. Help me unload the bricks. It took us a long time to load them onto the truck, and we're really tired. Your house is too far from the brick kiln. If my bricks and tiles weren't the best, I wouldn't want to earn this money."

Master Zhang looked at Tu Dan'er and said, "Let the old man go sit in the yard and have some tea. I'll go unload the bricks."

Song Chunxue came to the truck and looked at the two trucks of bricks and one truck of tiles, which were neatly arranged. She wondered when it would take to unload them.

"I'll do it, no need to go to so much trouble."

Song Chunxue looked towards the courtyard; thankfully, the gatekeeper blocked her view.

Several children had already entered the yard; they preferred to join in the fun or go and call for people to move bricks.

With a wave of his hand, Master Zhang neatly stacked the blue bricks on the cart on the ground in the blink of an eye, without even a speck of dust remaining.

Song Chunxue was first shocked, then excited. "Senior brother, what kind of move is this? Why didn't you teach me?"

"Learn slowly, don't rush. You can't rush things. You can't be too greedy."

"No, I'll teach you now. How many times have you tried to fool me with this excuse?" Song Chunxue said firmly. "I'll teach you now."

"Go and call Xie Zheng here."

"Um?"

"Do you want to keep it all to yourself? He'll be going back to the battlefield soon, and this move will definitely come in handy."

Song Chunxue smiled, "I'll go right away."

Before long, several children also ran out.

"Master, we want to give it a try too."

"Uncle-Master, I want to learn too."

"Uncle-Master, there's still the two of us!"

Master Zhang had a headache. "In broad daylight, aren't you afraid of scaring that old man?"

"No, no, Uncle Zhang, I know how to use illusion magic." Wuji proudly patted his chest. "No one else will see it."

"I can do that too. If I set up a barrier, they won't be able to hear me." Ye Bai smiled, revealing a set of white teeth like pearls.

Xie Zheng smiled and nodded, "Senior brother, please teach me."
