Chapter 36: September 1995 Cloud Shadow
Cloud Shadow in September 1995
Nothing major happened this month. It was probably the town that had something to do with Luhe Village to find someone to clear the robbers' den not far from Luhe Village. The gang of robbers occupied a mine, and the town sent people to clear the city twice before. He returned without success. This is the third time. The news of asking for help was sent to Luhe Town. He asked Luhe Village to send three people to help. The old man Galle thought about it again and again, but he didn't take it anymore. Will it come to harm Luhe Village in the future?
This year is a good year, but the villagers of Luhe Village are really not suitable for farming. The land is already barren, the farmers are lazy, and there are no rules for farming. No wonder they go hungry every year.
I really can’t stand the low farming efficiency of the villagers. I talked to the village chief once and suggested that the villagers shovel out the dung from the village road as fertilizer and add it to the fields. Have a good harvest.
The village chief is skeptical about my claim that manure can make the fields more fertile. He heard that this year, if the effect is not seen, he has no motivation. He said that the farmers in the village have been farming for generations. Young Master Kawamura knows farming better, so I better not make up my mind to avoid public anger.
The old village chief's temper is also really speechless. I can see that he doesn't care whether the farmers in the village can get enough to eat. As long as the villagers don't starve to death, he is the boss of the village. Having other thoughts makes it difficult for him to control.
Although the secretary is young, he has the same ideas as the village chief. He is quite satisfied with the current situation of Luhe Village. If Luhe Village can maintain the current situation for three years, he can be transferred to work in the town on the basis of his merits. He also invited me. Hopefully I can go to town with him when he gets promoted himself.
My heart is very complicated. On the one hand, I hope to do something for Luhe Village, but on the other hand, I feel that the people here are ignorant and stubborn, and it is difficult for me to help them do substantive things to improve their lives-or actually I Very selfish, obviously able to help them, but I don't want to.
The reason why I have the latter idea is because I think of the heated kang. When I was repairing the heated kang, the mason asked me about the function of the heated kang. I was very stingy at the time. Obviously, I could teach the workers how to build a fireplace early on, but I didn't. I hid it and tucked it away. After a year, I felt that I couldn't hide it before I told the secretary and asked him to be a favor.
In fact, I didn't need to do this at all, but just like instinct, I kept the secret of the heated kang, for what?
In order to maintain a superior attitude in front of others;
in order to allow me to look down on them condescendingly;
in order to prevent them from taking advantage of me in vain.
I am really narrow-minded, and my selfishness is well-founded, but while I am selfish for granted, I painlessly say that I cannot help the village. I don’t have a mirror, but I know that my hypocritical face must be very ugly.
If it was my buddy Liang Jiangbo, he would definitely not do such a thing.
When I went to work the next day, I told my militia colleagues who were on duty with me that I planned to donate something to the village and share it with the villagers for free.
"What?" My colleague is a farmer, curious about what I want to share with you.
"Kang, a kind of thing that can make everyone's house warm and sleep comfortably in winter." I explained.
"What's that?"
He wondered what would warm the house apart from fire.
After get off work, I contacted the mason and asked him to build a heated kang at the entrance of the village where I was on duty.
The mason was very interested when I heard that I was going to make another thing I made in the house before. I was even more surprised to know that I was willing to teach everyone its function, structure and production method for free. He immediately said that it can make everyone who wants to learn how to make it. The villagers on the heated kang brought the materials, and then I taught everyone the skills.
In the afternoon, the iron basin was beaten and the whole village was called.
I told everyone under the grass hut on duty at the entrance of the village that I would teach everyone how to build a "hot kang" tomorrow. Anyone who is willing to learn how to build a heated kang can just bring some stones and come over.
The people in the village were very curious, and they all became active when they heard that I was going to build a heated kang on the spot and demonstrate its effect, and they all said that they must bring a lot of stones.
I told the mason the list of the stones needed for the heated kang, and the mason discussed it with the villagers and shared it. Each person needs to bring very few stones.
The next morning, after I had eaten, I saw that the entrance to the village was crowded with people.
Everyone was very interested in the "hot kang", even the village chief and the secretary came. They all complained that I didn't communicate with them about such a big matter, otherwise the kang on display would be built into the village chief's long house. great.
Everyone is ready, and I will not talk nonsense. While explaining the structure of the heated kang, I instruct the masons and the people in the village to ram the ground and use the gravel to make the base of the heated kang.
Then there is the periphery of the heated kang. After the one-decimeter-thick stone wall is built firmly, the stone square pillars inside are slowly piled up, and the internal structure of the heated kang is displayed in front of everyone.
Next, a large thick stone slab is pressed on the stone wall and stone pillar like a cover. The uniform and meticulous collage makes a flat surface appear above the heated kang. At this time, the heated kang has been basically closed from the top of the heated kang. The gaps in the plane of the heated kang were blocked, and the sides were carefully painted to make the originally uneven kang neat.
The next step is to wait for it to dry in the shade. At this time, everyone can't wait to see the effect of the kang. After the clay is basically dry, the hay and firewood are stuffed into the furnace cavity of the kang. cigarette.
In the cheers of the people, the surface of the heated kang gradually warmed up, and everyone rushed to touch the warm kang. They were excited by the temperature of the heated kang. I said that as long as the hay is spread, people can sleep on the heated kang warmly. Looking forward to it even more, who doesn't want to sleep in a warm quilt?
Next, everyone was more interested in the details of the kang. One by one, I answered their questions to the best of my ability. I also asked everyone to disassemble the kang after it had cooled down, and then try to restore the kang.
Dozens of people gathered around a dozen people to work on the heated kang. Although the inside of the heated kang was filled with black soot, they didn't mind at all. The villagers really took the kang apart and built it up again. The second fire was already in the evening. But the villagers are all beaming, looking forward to building a heated kang in their home as soon as possible, and sleeping comfortably on the warm and dry kang this winter, not in a damp and dark grass nest.
In the evening, the heated kang was disassembled for the last time. The old village chief had the cheek to ask the mason and a few skilled hands to restore the heated kang to his home. He rewarded each mason with one gold coin and gave me ten gold coins alone, saying that it was for my contribution to the village. reward.
Because of the heated kang in the village, there was a boom in quarrying stone materials. The boys who first learned to cook the stone heated kang were the most popular, and were hired from house to house to cook the heated kang.
After all, there are only a few people who are ingenious. The masons and a few young men are good at craftsmanship. Almost every household in Luhe Village has a heated kang.
Several young people did not stop after working in the village. They were hurried to the town by the secretary, and there was no doubt that the secretary and his "nine-person fireplace and kang squad" would set off a fire in the town. Share the trend of "Luhe Village Heated Kang", and they will make a lot of money.
When I took the group out to make money, the secretary didn’t forget my credit for revealing the secret of the heated kang. He and his “engineering team” gave me one gold coin for every two heated kangs, which was a thank you for the job I passed on to them.
In fact, a few young people wanted to give me a "great gift" to my village in order to thank me for the kindness I taught them. My feet, the secretary's persuasion was useless, and in the end, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes and cursed swearing.
Although they are a bunch of scumbags, in my understanding they are the same people as me, and there is no difference between superiors and inferiors. I don't need them to give me that terrible "gift".
The arrears for the previous building have finally been paid off.
Debt-free and light, I can spend more time with my son and live a comfortable life.
In the eyes of many people in the village, my approach is a bit silly. Otherwise, they would not take out such a good thing and share it with everyone. Even the witch doctor aunt told me that in fact, I can win a few people by myself. Wealth, there is no need to exaggerate and cheapen the whole village.
Therefore, I am a barbarian from the backcountry of Shanghe Village.
The witch doctor aunt herself is also a beneficiary of the fireplace and the heated kang. When I said this to me, I almost amused me with my son in my arms.
I asked the witch doctor about earth magic, and she smiled mysteriously: "You finally admit it? I knew, I knew you knew earth magic... It's too similar! It's too similar..."
She didn't know what year and month she recalled, and fell into deep thought.
I didn't bother her, so I hugged my son and taught him how to speak. When the aunt had enough memories, she looked at me again with those white eyes before asking her what she knew about "earth magic".
"I have long felt that you can use earth magic, and the worst is that you have the potential to use earth magic. You are so similar to a person I saw when I was young..." The
aunt was leaning on crutches and trembling on the side of the road. Sitting on the low stone wall, he slammed his mouth: "When I was young, I was also a beautiful girl from a wealthy family. I had a suitor. He claimed to be a magician. He said that I also have the potential to become an earth magician. Said that as long as I was with him, he would give me a treasure, that treasure could stimulate my potential for earth magic and become a magician..."
It was a very magical story, and I listened to it with great interest.
"Then I was cheated for money and sex for a gadget, and when I reacted, that guy has already made money and flew away..." The aunt showed a nostalgic look: "That guy is very tall and very strong. It's really good..."
This story really took a turn for the worse.
"You all have a very similar aura. It is the earthy smell of the earth, and I will never forget this smell."
"Uh..." Auntie's story is over. I don't know how to evaluate this story. It stands to reason that this story should be a tragedy, but Auntie's expression doesn't seem to be very sad, so I'm very embarrassed.
"No, this is what he gave me." The witch doctor aunt took a large stone bead with a slit from the large necklace around her neck, broke it apart, and took out a small khaki crystal from it, the size of the nail of your little finger. , the long and narrow shape resembles a grain of wheat.
My son was very interested in this shiny little thing, and he stretched out his little hand to take it. The aunt smiled and put the crystal in his little hand. After my son got the thing, he muttered "thank you" happily, and put the crystal to his little hand. Mouth, fortunately, I quickly reached out and pulled it out of his mouth.
"Thank you for being polite..." Before I had time to scold this bad boy who put everything in his mouth, the crystal in his hand emitted a blurred yellow halo. It was so hot that I almost pinched it. not live.
"Oh! Lucky little guy, lucky little guy!" The witch doctor aunt screamed and took a few steps back.
I saw the khaki light that was constantly dissipating, as if being siphoned into the air, and then turned around and poured into my body. I felt the surging power of the earth from the small crystals in my hand. The feeling of reassurance is stronger than the usual stroking of gravel or lying on a rock, almost intoxicating.
My son was held in my arms, and the blurred light strips also passed through him. The light strips that passed through him faded a lot after they were cast on me, which made me worry about whether they would have any effect on his body. influence.
I don't know how long it took, the crystals in my hand turned into gray-white stones, and I woke up from my meditation.
"Go back to sleep, lad, get a good night's sleep!" The witch doctor patted me on the back: "If you're lucky, you'll find that your earth magic has increased." A smile appeared on her face: "That liar at least He didn't lie to me about this, he did at least two real things."
"Your gem..." I turned her gem into a lump of rock, and I don't know how to compensate her.
"It doesn't matter child, that thing is useless to me in the first place. If you want to thank me, you can help me collect more alchemy materials in the future, or you can just be my apprentice, ah ha ha ha..." She smiled and patted again Me: "Go to bed now!"
I was really sleepy, so I jumped on Ah Fu with my son and rode it home. Ah Fu is now big enough to carry me more than enough. ,easy and convenient.
When I got home, I slept very sweetly. After I woke up, it was already midnight. I was waiting for my son to eat, drink and lasa. I prepared a late-night snack for myself and Ah Fu before I remembered to check the status of my super powers.
"Wow!" I waved the melon-sized stone into the air, and I was dumbfounded.
