But what is even more strange is that Ashan seems to like the big rooster and his friends very much. When he reached out to touch the big rooster's head, the big rooster, who was originally arrogant and had all its feathers standing on end, dared not move at all. Suddenly, it became like a quail and was very well-behaved.
The big spotted pig was even more exaggerated. As soon as Ah Shan's hand touched it, its four legs immediately flexed and twitched, and the whole pig lay obediently on the ground, motionless, allowing Ah Shan to "□□". Wen He was stunned by the sight, and only heard Ah Shan's extremely hearty laughter coming from his ears: "Ah He, I thought you little animals were fierce and cruel, and wouldn't let me touch you. Who knew you would be so well behaved when I patted your head. You are really cute."
“…” No, they are really very fierce, and the cuteness you see is all an illusion.
Wen He really wanted to say this, but when she saw everyone turned like quails, she was speechless and could only shake her head and nod in confusion.
Fortunately, Wen He didn't worry about it for too long, and her attention was quickly diverted.
According to Ashan, the abandoned farmland is a bit far away, but if you go there from the old house, there is a small path that can go directly there, which can save a lot of time.
Sure enough, not long after, Wen He saw the shadow of the farmland that A Shan mentioned. It can be seen that it must have been a very large farmland in the past. Even though it was abandoned and overgrown with weeds, one can still see its former scale. It was many times larger than Wen He had imagined. It was estimated that if all the farmland here was put to good use, she would definitely have no worries about having no place to plant her fruit seedlings, vegetables and the like.
However, it is not an easy task to open up this field of crops. Just removing the weeds is an extremely arduous task. After all, the place is so large. Although Ashan works hard and moves quickly, there are too few people after all. Modern tool vehicles for reclamation in the mountains cannot drive in, so they can only rely entirely on manpower.
In this way, even if they forced the big spotted pigs to work as laborers, Wen He and his team could only open up a small part of the field in a whole afternoon.
Otherwise, just open a small part first. You can't get fat in one bite. Although seeing such a large piece of farmland, Wen He has an urge to cultivate them all.
After removing the weeds and loosening the soil, it was already getting dark, so Wen He simply invited A Shan to the old house for a simple meal. There were plenty of ingredients in the kitchen anyway, and she had brought back some spare ribs and bacon when she came back in the morning. It was not easy to cook for one person, but for two people, she could make a few more home-cooked dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bacon with garlic sprouts, stir-fried cabbage with chili sauce, and carrot, corn and pork ribs soup that had been stewed the previous morning.
Not only Wen He, but also Ashan felt very satisfied with the meal.
Wen He's cooking skills are not that good, just average, but the ingredients in the mountains are really good, which makes people want to eat bowl after bowl of rice. Wen He has a small appetite and can't eat anymore after finishing one bowl of rice. But Ashan ate three big bowls of rice in a row and swept away all the dishes on the table. He looked very reluctant, and he estimated that if there were any leftovers, he would eat another big bowl.
After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, Ashan said goodbye to Wen He, saying that he would come to find Wen He at about the same time tomorrow morning. Wen He, who was usually a little dazed after eating, responded. Looking at Ashan's back as he walked out of the old house, he suddenly remembered something. He woke up with a start and ran out to stop him, "Wait, Ashan, it's very dark outside now. It's easy to get lost if you can't see the road clearly. Do you want me to show you the way or something..."
However, Wen He stopped just as he ran to the door. There was no one outside. Looking around, there was only a dark forest and a mountain. There was nothing else. It was very quiet, not to mention Ashan's figure.
Could Ashan be walking that fast? She had clearly seen him run out the moment he stepped out of the house, so how could he be gone so quickly? Could a person walk that fast? Even running couldn't be that fast, could it? And it was so late, and even she had walked so many times and couldn't really recognize the road, so how could Ashan recognize it?
Wen He couldn't help but feel a little confused, but miraculously, she wasn't too worried. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Ashan was particularly familiar with the mountains, and his ability to find his way was almost as good as that of the small animals born and raised in the mountains.
On the next day, Wen He had just gotten up when he saw A Shan, who had come in at some point, squatting in the tomato field and playing with a big rooster. The big rooster had curled itself up into a ball, not daring to crow, and its head was buried under its wings. A group of little yellow chickens around it were chirping and trying to hide in the rooster's fluffy feathers in panic, but the big rooster was so cold-blooded that it would rather die than the chickens, and kicked them out with a drumstick. A Shan laughed so hard that Wen He couldn't help laughing too.
The development progress of Wenhe and Ashan's farmland was acceptable. Ashan was stronger, so he was responsible for pulling the hard-working big pig to remove weeds, while Wenhe was responsible for sowing the seeds bought at the market. Wenhe bought a lot of seeds, such as cabbage, cucumber, pumpkin, carrot, potato, etc., but for the first attempt, Wenhe considered it and chose pumpkin, carrot and potato to try.
Carrots are the favorite of red-eyed rabbits, potatoes are the one with the highest yield and are the easiest to grow, and pumpkins look similar to watermelons. After all, it was Wen He's first time growing vegetables, so he was still quite unsure. He decided to find a variety that looked more familiar to try, and finally chose pumpkin.
Perhaps because he had read more ancient books and was more familiar with formations, Wen He became more skilled in drawing formations. In order to hide his movements, Wen He also simplified the formations and used inconspicuous things such as small stones as supports for the center of the formation. He mixed several formations, such as the growth-promoting formation that promotes plant growth and the concentration formation, into one formation. After the formation was completed, he selected three kinds of seeds, pumpkin, carrot and potato, and sowed them in different areas.
In fact, Wen He still felt a little guilty when he was drawing the formation. After all, he was not only alone, but also Ashan was there. Except for the old man, Wen He had never drawn a formation in front of other people before. He didn't know what other people would think when they saw these obviously unscientific things.
But Ah Shan looked at it curiously for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands, his face a look of sudden enlightenment, and he said excitedly, "I remember now, is this the ability of your Gu family? It's amazing! I heard from my old man that Mr. Gu was also very powerful when he was alive. He was a big shot. I heard that his skills were incredible!"
He is indeed a figure of one side, and his skills are indeed high, but not in metaphysics. Her old man can't even draw a battle formation as well as she did when she was a child. Instead, he is very good at bragging, and he is a businessman and a charlatan. He can fool people so much that they believe 80% of it themselves, which made his title of "charlatan" very popular for a long time.
It's just that these trivial matters were suddenly brought up, and Ashan still had an excited and admiring look on his face. Wen He looked at him and couldn't help blushing. She felt a little embarrassed and had an urge to lift the lid of her old man's coffin.
