"It's definitely not made entirely of wood." Humph, now that the Feng family has some money, how could Mrs. Su build a house made entirely of wood?
"A wooden house can only be lived in for a few years before it rots, and it is not heat-resistant. If conditions permit, it is better to build a house made of blue bricks and tiles.
It is sturdy, warm in winter and cool in summer, durable and very comfortable to live in.
This requires stones and bricks and tiles. A house as big as the village chief's would cost forty or fifty taels of material.
How big are you planning to build it? I'll calculate the materials later so you can go and buy them." Wu Mu was anxious to calculate the materials.
“I know this, I’ll just tell you.
It should be a circular courtyard with five main rooms, a utility room on the left, and a kitchen on the right…” Su Shenpo quickly took over the burden. This was what the three of them had agreed on.
Feng Ling nodded in agreement and happily went to work with the village chief.
Heshan Village has two public wells, one in the east and one in the south.
The well in the south still has water, but the one in the east has been dry for a long time, even though their depths are the same.
There is a big banyan tree next to the well in the south. When people have nothing to do, they like to come here to chat and gossip and enjoy the cool air.
But they were not idle either. Some brought shoe soles to mend, some brought clothes to sew, and some weaved bamboo strips and did other small jobs.
To get to the well in the east, you must pass through the south.
Feng Ling heard it from afar. A group of people had just finished talking about her deeds and were about to talk about something else new and interesting.
"Hey, have you heard that Liu Xiucai brought back a beautiful woman from outside?
It is said that she is a rich lady, and she gave Mrs. Liu two ginseng sticks as big as radishes when she came to her house!
One woman felt that her words were not vivid enough, so she simply used her arms to gesture, her tone full of envy.
This immediately caught everyone's attention, "Really? How beautiful is she? Is she more beautiful than Feng Ling now?"
Otherwise, why would Liu Xiucai break off the engagement with Feng Ling? Oh, yes, when they broke off the engagement, Liu Xiucai didn't even know that Feng Ling's face had healed.
If this woman is not as beautiful as Feng Ling, wouldn't Liu Xiucai be at a great loss?
"Well! How should I put it, Feng Ling is a little girl, a fairy, the pure kind.
That woman was different. She had a great figure, with all the right curves and curves. She made the Liu family's servants bleed from their noses.
"Hmm, do you understand? Haha! Men..." The woman was very disdainful of the fact that they always think with their lower body.
"Don't brag, how can there be such a big ginseng in the world? Ginseng that's tens of thousands of years old can't even be as big as an arm, right?"
"What rich lady? How could a proper lady go to a man's house on her own initiative? Could she be some wild flower she picked up on the street?"
"Oh, how dare there be a man who takes advantage of others? Don't let him pick up another witch or some other evil woman."
"Of course not, this is all thanks to Feng Ling, otherwise who knows how many families would have suffered.
You said Feng Ling, she was so ugly before, and the Liu family broke off her engagement, but now she can turn things around so easily, who knows what kind of family she will marry in the future?"
"Hey, you're not planning on hitting on her, are you? Hahaha... With your dog's small body, can he subdue a demon or a ghost?
Still want to marry Feng, uh hehe... Feng Ling, where are you going?"
The mocking woman suddenly discovered Feng Ling, and she was so happy that she was stuck and her face flushed.
"I'm going with the village chief to set up a water array, and you guys are just chatting?" It's really boring to have so much free time that he helps her find a partner.
"Well, I'm not too idle. I just came back from the fields to take a break.
Are we finally going to set up a water array for the village? Need help? We can do it.” The woman stuffed the soles of her shoes into her arms and followed.
The others couldn't sit still either. How could words compare to seeing it with their own eyes? Needless to say, Feng Ling's shaman dance was like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to earth, sacred and ethereal.
When fighting monsters, she was so heroic and majestic like a female general.
How do we set up this water formation? That well is quite deep, it's not as simple as the water tank at Feng Ling's house, right?
Of course, if the demand is high, the auxiliary materials will definitely be different. "If you need it, please come and help."
Feng Ling didn't want to be polite with these people. They were the ones using the water anyway.
"Just tell me what you need and I'll arrange it." It just so happened that there were so many idle people, and the village chief could take advantage of them.
"I need seven bamboos, a willow, a locust tree, and a pine tree. The bigger the better, and I want them transplanted with their roots."
These are common trees, very easy to find, but to Feng Ling they are all practical Yin trees.
The villagers were confused. They had heard that willow branches and mice could bring water to Feng Ling's family. But now, did they not need animals?
Of course, whatever Feng Ling said was the truth. They understood it anyway, and transplanting these trees was not difficult at all.
The village chief immediately made arrangements.
By the well, Feng Ling calculated the direction with his fingers, and then used black ash to circle the four directions. That was where the tree would be placed.
"First, dig up a thin layer of soil and bury the talisman array. Then plant the tree, set up an altar, light incense, and offer the three animals. This time, we are praying to the gods, so we must offer sacrifices."
Whenever Feng Ling pointed out something, the old village chief would arrange for someone to prepare it.
Not until everything was ready and the four types of trees were planted in their specific locations did Feng Ling ring the bell and start dancing the Great God Style.
This scene happened to be seen by a group of outsiders, who were also stunned.
"Brother Zijie, is this the witch from your village?" "Is this the Fairy Lady? Whose witch is this young and beautiful?" A young scholar in blue murmured, his eyes fixed on her.
"She's too young. Your grandfather just let her do whatever she wants. Will it work? Can she really bring water?" If that's true, then...
This was a scholar in white clothes, and he looked at Feng Ling with questioning yet eager eyes.
"What's the point of me saying more? You'll know tomorrow if anyone asks for water.
Kappei, I brought you here because your family's situation is really bad.
You can't spread this to anyone, and you can't disturb her, okay?"
The person who repeatedly told the story was the old village chief's grandson, Wu Zijie. He originally studied in the town, but he appeared here with two classmates.
"Don't worry, when have we ever been unreliable?" Lin Zheng didn't care. He just wanted to watch the fun and the novelty. It wasn't that serious, right?
"Can she really catch ghosts?" Mo Shengping was still skeptical. In his opinion, those who have the ability to catch ghosts are either old Taoist priests, old monks, or fortune-tellers.
But the girl dancing gracefully in front of me is not...
"She doesn't catch ghosts, she helps ghosts reincarnate, and she's also good at fighting monsters." Wu Zijie saw it with his own eyes, so how could this be false?
"Are there really ghosts and monsters in your village? Why have we never seen any in our town?" That's why people don't dare to believe in Feng Ling's abilities.
"We are close to the mountains, where the spiritual energy is rich." Old people say that mountains are spiritual. So, isn't it normal that there are some fairies and monsters in the mountains?
Although they were scholars studying and learning, Wu Zijie had seen it with his own eyes and could not help but believe it.
“I hope she is a real fairy lady and can solve the strange things happening in my family. My father will definitely reward her handsomely in the end.
Whether it’s money or bricks and tiles…”
