Chapter 81 Farming and Chatting
Lu Xing and Bai Lu said they came to help, but in fact they were busy listening to Lian Hua's nonsense.
I don't know if she learned this from Liu Hehua, but she's very good at deceiving people. "Have you heard about the Niangniang Temple in our county?"
There is a very famous Niangniang Temple in their small county town. It’s not that the temple is particularly powerful, but at that time a wealthy businessman spent more than 100,000 yuan to take the golden statue of the Bodhisattva back from the temple.
The sum of more than 100,000 yuan caused quite a stir at the time, so when Lian Hua talked about it, they still had some impression of it.
"The wealthy businessman hired many people to play suona and had monks chant sutras, all in order to bring the golden statue of the Bodhisattva home and preserve his business fortune.
When the team that was bringing the golden statue had just crossed the bridge, they were stopped by someone who came from nowhere. The person said that the rich businessman's fate could not be suppressed and that it would bring bad luck if the golden statue was taken back.
The rich businessman didn't believe it, so he took the statue home. The next day, the statue's leg was broken, and his business went downhill.
What does this mean? It means Feng Shui is real! Otherwise, why would the wealthy businessman’s prediction come true the next day after he brought the golden statue home?
The group of people had already begun to believe Lianhua's words, and after hearing her example, they became even more convinced of the feng shui of the cemetery.
Because of Lu Xing's story, Bai Lu was no longer as skeptical about these miraculous things as before. She curiously asked Lu Xing, "Auntie, is this true?"
"That story about a wealthy businessman requesting a golden statue? It's true. A lot of people went to see it, and he hired many people to carry the statue down the mountain from the temple."
"So he really got into trouble because of asking the golden body to return?"
"No, I was beaten by someone else."
"Why did others beat him?"
"Someone who didn't want him to take the statue away blocked his way. He then had someone beat up the man's son, saying he had brought disaster upon himself by talking too much. The man later broke the businessman's leg in revenge."
Everyone who went to watch the incident at the time knew about it. As for the versions that were spread later, it is possible that the people from the Niangniang Temple asked others to spread them in order to attract more believers.
"So it has nothing to do with Feng Shui?"
"It's all a scam. What does it have to do with Feng Shui?"
"Isn't it a bit bad for Auntie to deceive people like this?"
It was obvious that Bai Lu was too serious, and the aunts chatting here were just listening for fun.
They sat at the stall and chatted for most of the day, and were reluctant to buy vegetables worth a few cents, let alone anything else.
Lianhua talked for so long and told so many stories just to spread the news that "this piece of land in the town has good feng shui."
Whether you can attract people depends on luck.
After hearing what Lu Xing said, Bai Lu didn't say anything else. The two of them sat on the side and were stuffed with a handful of melon seeds by the aunt next to them.
Lu Xing and the others didn't help much during this trip, but they did enjoy listening to them bragging.
After returning home, perhaps because of Lu Xing's story about the wealthy businessman, Bai Lu no longer asked Lu Xing questions.
She breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued asking like this, Lu Xing really wouldn't know what to say.
However, there was also good news during this period. After Lu Xing attended Lu Pingping's wedding, the system's progress increased to 58%.
After the ancient tomb incident was exposed, I don’t know if it was because too many people participated in it, but the exploration level increased a lot, almost reaching 70%.
I feel like the goal of completing the mission is within reach.
————
It is almost June now and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. People will feel wilted after walking outside for a few minutes, but the weeds in the fields are growing more and more vigorously.
The excessive weeds affected the crops, but when the sun came out, the weather became unbearably hot. Lu Xing was old and couldn't stand working in the sun.
So at five or six in the morning, before the sun came out, Lu Xing rushed to the field to pull out as many weeds as possible.
Recently, Bai Lu has been using the place at the entrance of the village for classes, so they can no longer chat there.
Fortunately, Lu Xing and the others can chat anywhere.
Lu Xing's land was right next to Erniu's. When Sun Pingjuan saw Lu Xing weeding, she immediately called out to her, "Auntie, why are you weeding alone?"
"ah?"
Lu Xing didn't react for a moment and looked at Erniu's mother, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's so hot. If you need anything, just ask Erniu to do it. Auntie helped my family so much back then."
If Sun Pingjuan hadn't mentioned Lu Xing, she would have almost forgotten about this matter. At that time, a large number of her adopted relatives gathered in her house, which made her very uncomfortable, so she sent everyone back home.
"No, no, I can do this job myself. Erniu just needs to remember to visit the grave during festivals."
"Hey, you have a lot of cucumbers this year? How did you grow them?"
In Sun Pingjuan's land, sweet potatoes were planted at the bottom and cucumber vines were planted on the edge. A rack was also built on the edge to facilitate the cucumber vines to climb.
Now at a glance, there are more than ten cucumbers of different sizes hanging on the shelf.
Seeing that Lu Xing was impatient to talk about this, she changed the subject to the cucumbers. "My cucumbers are really growing well this year. There are so many that we can't eat them all. I'll bring you two back later."
"I bought a new fertilizer in town this year. After applying it twice, the cucumbers have grown really well."
Lu Xing rarely used chemical fertilizers. She used pig manure mixed with some bean dregs after oil extraction, and fermented it to make fertilizer. The ash left over from burning stoves was also a good fertilizer.
She had never heard of compound fertilizer before.
"How much does this fertilizer cost? Does it work?"
"It works great. I've used this fertilizer on most of my vegetable garden. They're growing really well, and the vegetables don't taste weird."
People working in the fields nearby heard them talking about fertilizer and came over to ask, "What kind of fertilizer is this? It's so effective."
"They say it's some kind of compound fertilizer, a new one developed by the higher-ups." Sun Pingjuan also bought it based on recommendations from others.
"I heard they've discovered some new herbal remedies that are quite useful."
When it comes to growing crops, both the initial process of planting seeds and the final process of harvesting only take a few days. The long months in between are spent on weeding, pest control and watering.
The weeds grow very fast and may need to be pulled out every two or three days.
So if you have a good herbal and insecticide, it can really save you a lot of trouble.
"What kind of medicine is this? Will it harm the crops?"
One person got angry when talking about this, "I've heard people talk about some new miracle drug that's very effective in killing weeds and insects."
"I bought it and used it. The weeds died, but my crops were also destroyed."
Later I wanted to find the scammer to return the goods, but the scammer had already run away.
There are quite a lot of scammers selling fake medicines, and many people have been deceived, but most people find that the medicines don’t work after they buy them.
Not many people are unlucky enough to have their crops killed by pesticides.
Everyone started cursing the fake drug dealers together.
The sun came out at around seven o'clock, and it was so hot that Lu Xing was sweating. He took two cucumbers given to him by others and went home.
There are a bunch of small animals at home waiting to be fed.
She first cooked a pot of porridge for herself and made some pickled cucumbers.
When cooking porridge, add sweet potato leaves to water and mix with feed to feed the pigs.
Lu Xing doesn't feed the chickens in the morning. He lets them out and find insects to eat on their own.
When the porridge was almost ready, the system also brought good news.
[Host, our mission progress has reached 25%! ]
"That's great."
[And I found that the deeper I was involved in those outrageous things, the faster the task progressed.]
"Honestly, are you really not some melon-eating system?"
Why does it feel like the mission progress requires her to discover the melon, participate in the melon, and become the melon.
"Do other hosts complete their missions in this way?"
The system is also very strange. They never mentioned during training that the task could be completed in this way.
[Perhaps this is a new way to complete the task. I plan to record it and report it back to the main system.]
[If the main system adopts it, there might be extra rewards for the host. ]
"I don't think there's much going on in Xiaoshi Village. Maybe we can't collect all the data you want."
[Host, you are too modest. Based on my observation, the series of changes triggered by your rebirth will unconsciously cause you to become entangled.]
[To put it simply, outrageous things will continue to happen around you.]
Lu Xing, who heard this for the first time, said:? ?
She said, why weren't there so many things in her memories of her previous life, but why are the things she encounters in this life more and more outrageous?
But something so big happened recently.
There shouldn't be any more outrageous things happening, right?
