No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 56 Repair the roof! Another evil cult?
I don't know when the rain stopped completely. The sky seemed to have been washed. Not a single cloud could be seen. The distant sky was dyed a light pink due to the sunrise. Just looking at it made me feel happy.
Li Erlang walked out of the room, planning to go to the fields early to check on Hu Suan. He stood in the yard and noticed something was wrong at just one glance. The raincoat that had been hanging on the porch of the yard when he came back yesterday evening was missing!
Who would touch his coir raincoat? Could it be Yue Lang? But that doesn’t make sense either…
Just when he was confused, someone knocked gently on the courtyard door: "Brother Li..."
When Li Yu heard something moving in the yard, he quickly got up and saw Brother Li through the crack in the door, so he quickly knocked on the door.
You must know that he has not yet digested what happened last night.
It's so bizarre.
When Li Erlang opened the courtyard door and saw Li Yu wearing his raincoat, he understood everything. "You come in with me."
Li Yu wanted to return the things and leave, but Li Erlang just glanced at him and pulled him into the yard without asking anything.
He was still holding the rattan basket in his arms, but Li Erlang pulled him so hard that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Li Erlang turned around and took the rattan basket. After seeing the water bottle inside, he concluded that it had something to do with Ji Qingyue.
He took Li Yu back to the room. Li Silang was dressing. When he looked up, he saw his friend being pulled in by his brother. He thought something had happened, but before he asked, Li Erlang asked him to find a suit for Li Yu. clothes, and he put away the water bottle himself.
Li Silang was rummaging around in his suitcase, while Li Yu stood awkwardly in the room, trying to organize his words. How should he tell them about the strange thing that happened last night?
"Just treat what happened last night as nothing. Don't mention it to anyone else. Do you remember?" It was rare for Li Erlang to be so serious. Li Yu was so frightened that he looked at Li Erlang and didn't know what to do.
Li Silang came to the rescue: "Oh, second brother, he remembered! Yu Lang, what second brother means is that you stayed outside my courtyard all night and didn't meet anyone."
Li Yu came back to her senses and took the clothes that Li Silang had found. After changing her clothes, she walked out of the room and greeted other members of the Li family. She appeared calm on the face, but her heart was still agitated, and her heart was beating crazily, as if to popped out of his throat.
Li Erlang had already explained to others the reason for Li Yu's sudden appearance at home. Only then did everyone remember that the house where Li Yu lived must have been in a mess after a night of heavy rain.
No one said they wanted to keep him, not even Li Yu himself. He finished his breakfast in a decent manner, said goodbye to the Li family, and returned to the shabby house with the wet clothes he changed into.
One night passed, the house was in a mess, the dilapidated house was soaked by rain, and the mud on the wall broke out with water marks. The purlins supporting the tiles on the roof were already overwhelmed, and if only one was broken, many tiles would fall off. .
In that position, if he still stubbornly stayed on the bed, he would definitely be hit by a tile.
Nothing in the house was dry at this time.
There is still a layer of water on the ground that has not completely penetrated into the ground. Small leaves are floating on the water mixed with wheat straw. The furnace is still dripping water. The firewood piled in the corner is extremely wet. You can't even light a fire to bake it. .
The already dilapidated house looked even more dilapidated now.
Li Yu stood in the room and didn't know how to start.
Ji Qingyue had just gotten up and walked to the stream in the morning light. As soon as he stretched, he heard Li Erlang calling from outside: "Yue Lang?"
"What happened?" Ji Qingyue suddenly remembered what happened last night, and he said "Hey": "How was the child last night?"
Li Erlang didn't have any objections to Ji Qingyue's behavior, but he was just confused: "How did you find him outside the door at night?"
Ji Qingyue rolled his eyes, but unfortunately Li Erlang couldn't see it through the painting. "You still have the nerve to say that? The child's voice was so quiet that I managed to hear it. I wanted to call you to come forward, but you closed the door and the windows tightly. I was worried about scaring your sister-in-law, so I didn't know what to do. I'm looking for you. In the end, I couldn't let the child in, so I had to give him something."
Li Erlang usually took the initiative to find Ji Qingyue, but he didn't expect that one day it would be the other way around. After hearing this, Li Erlang scratched his face in embarrassment and asked Ji Qingyue to take the water bottle back. "I was careless. From now on I... I won't put up the water barrier. I think I can hear it through a window paper."
After Ji Qingyue got the thermos cup back, he asked about Li Yu's situation.
"Ugh……"
After knowing that Li Yu was not doing well, Ji Qingyue felt a little embarrassed. The Li family had helped Li Yu enough and there was no reason to take him home to live with him.
Li Silang wanted to help Li Yu entirely because of his friendship as a classmate. Having faced the bandits together was almost life and death together, so the friendship between the two was deeper than that of others. When Li Erlang wanted to help Li Yu, he just sympathized, but not much. The jar of rice he gave him before was enough to deserve the sympathy in his heart. The reason why he reached out again was because when he saw Li Yu, he couldn't help but think of the time when Ji Qingyue was miserable in the painting.
"Erlang... can you see if this method is feasible?" Ji Qingyue thought for a while and told Li Erlang his plan, "If you are still free after seeing the garlic field, I will provide you with the materials and you can help."
Li Erlang thought this plan was wonderful!
After a hurried breakfast, Li Erlang and two guys went to the garlic field to check the situation. It rained heavily overnight. Because the fields were opened in advance, there was not much water in the field. The garlic sprouts were also full of water and were able to move on to the next step. growth stage.
The ridges were washed away by rain, and some soil was lost. Today they came to strengthen the ridges, and they only needed to fill back the soil in the trenches.
He was thinking about what Ji Qingyue said and went home after finishing his work early.
Ji Qingyue mentioned helping Li Yu repair the house. Li Erlang briefly mentioned it to his family, but Li Aniang didn't say anything and only asked him to pay attention to his safety.
Li Silang was excited to follow and help.
Then Li Erlang went to the study room to take down the hanging painting, put it in a bamboo tube, and carried it on his back. He then went to the utility room to take out a long ladder and a few old wooden strips, and led Shiro towards an edge area.
After walking for about a quarter and a half, when the two brothers saw the dilapidated house in front of them, they couldn't help but sympathize with Li Yu.
Li Yu was packing things in the house. He had already moved the firewood out of the house, and then scooped out the water on the ground. Now he was busy cleaning the broken tiles in the house. When he was worrying about what to do with the roof, Li Erlang and Li Silang came .
Li Silang happily went into the house to help and cleaned the house with Li Yu: "Let's move all the things in the house out to dry. The second brother will help you mend the roof later. It's not good for us to stay in the house."
Li Yu burst into tears at the arrival of the two of them, and was laughed at by Li Silang for being "crying" again.
Li Yu usually had to go to the river to get water. It rained heavily yesterday, and the river water must still be very dirty today, which is not suitable for washing clothes. So Li Silang and Li Yu planned to fetch water from nearby homes. .
While the two of them were away, Li Erlang set up a wooden ladder and climbed up to the roof with the painting on his back.
A purlin fell off the roof, causing a big hole in the entire roof. There were also other crooked tiles. The house was definitely leaking.
Li Erlang cautiously stepped onto the mud wall, took the painting out of the bamboo tube, carefully found a dry place, and made sure nothing would get on the painting before he rolled it out.
Ji Qingyue had been waiting on the bridge a long time ago.
The two of them, one handing it over and the other picking it up, quickly cleaned up the tiles on the broken roof.
Ji Qingyue handed over the tools and processed the wood strips for Li Erlang. If there was not enough wood, Ji Qingyue went to the woods to find it. With the cooperation of the two, they finally completed the missing purlins.
At this moment, Li Silang and Li Yu have not returned yet.
"Let Shiro deliberately delay time, you two are so awesome!" Ji Qingyue gave the two brothers a thumbs up in the painting.
Next comes the step of laying the tiles back.
From the old tiles that were handed in at the beginning, Ji Qingyue sorted out the ones that were still usable. Together with the two or three hundred pieces he had left when he built a house last time, it should be enough.
Everyone on the roof was busy painting. Li Yu in the distance was eager to come back to work, but Li Silang had so many excuses. Sometimes his hands hurt, sometimes his feet were sprained, and sometimes he clamored to rest until he came back with two buckets of water. By that time, Li Erlang had almost repaired the roof.
Li Yu looked at the dilapidated house and was dumbfounded. After patching up the roof, the house looked much more pleasing to the eye and not so desolate.
Now Li Silang no longer pretended to be weak and made excuses, and pulled Li Yu to quickly sort out the debris.
Soaked cloths need to be washed, firewood needs to be erected on the wall to dry, and weeds and debris on the ground need to be cleared away...
The two children were very busy.
Li Erlang rolled up the painting and put it back in the bamboo tube, then put back the last row of tiles and announced that it was done.
He climbed down the wooden ladder, thinking that there would be no rain now, so he safely left the rest to Li Yu himself.
Watching Li Erlang and Li Silang leave, Li Yu looked at the roof of his house from afar, tilting his head in trance. In the end, he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head to wake himself up.
There is still a lot of work to be done!
Li Silang happily jumped all the way back home like a rabbit.
As soon as Li Erlang put the wooden ladder back into the utility room, he turned around and saw one of the two clerks coming behind him and taking out a letter from his arms: "This is the letter sent by Manager Zhang in the afternoon. "
He took it and looked at it, wondering if Manager Zhang had something to give him?
Li Erlang opened the letter, glanced at ten lines, and immediately read the contents of the letter.
There is good news and bad news.
The good news is that the owner has already arranged the relationship from the northwest to Chang'an. As soon as the garlic is grown, the government will sign the road and will not block the shipment of garlic to Chang'an. The owner himself will be in the capital waiting for the garlic to be delivered.
And the bad news... is that banditry has intensified recently, and among them are many people who do evil in the name of gods and Buddhas. They rob passing merchants everywhere, and even the monks who used to persuade them to make peace were brutally killed.
Li Erlang frowned. He had heard more and more news about evil cults recently. There were countless Red Leaf Sects, Red Moon Sects, and Red Flower Sects, among which the Dongri Sect was the most notorious.
I heard that they were formed by monks who were expelled from the Buddhist temple. In just four months, they attracted countless ordinary people, bandits, and villains... There were even rumors that the Dongri Sect colluded with the government.
"The Dongri Sect is not in the northwest, but in the southeast. Within half a year, it actually accommodated tens of thousands of believers. The government sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times without success. I wonder if there was an insider in the government who leaked the news to the Dongri Sect. People." The guy has also heard of this sect, which is entrenched in the southeast corner of Jiangnan Road. If the officials want to deal with them, they have to go around Jiangnan first, but now Jiangnan has not completely stabilized, and most of the domestic barracks and troops They were distributed along the northwest border line, and the number of soldiers left in the southeast was not enough.
The banditry problem has not been solved, and now there is another evil sect. It is really like what Yue Lang said, there is chaos.
"Is everything going well with Manager Zhang?" Li Erlang only needs to ensure that Hu Suan grows smoothly. Now Hu Suan has begun to enter rapid growth withdrawal. Li Erlang and two farming experts are guarding the fields. They often take turns guarding the ground to prevent villains from causing trouble.
I wonder if they have been nourished by the scrolls. These seeds themselves are excellent, and the green seedlings that grow are even more gratifying, green and yellow...
As long as you wait until autumn, the quality of the fruits underground will definitely not disappoint.
"Currently, Manager Zhang hasn't noticed what actions Hu Shang made. It seems that they were interfered by the south. Something happened to the three families must have affected them, so they couldn't take action."
This is a great thing for them!
The gap when the enemy relaxes is their chance to breathe.
"As long as Manager Zhang is given enough time, he should be able to figure out Hu Shang's actions and guard against their villainous behavior," the clerk said.
Manager Zhang received the death order from his boss and must open up this spice route.
This time, Manager Zhang ordered them to guard the half-acre of garlic land and not allow anyone to destroy the road!
In comparison, Ji Qingyue seemed much more relaxed. He watered and fed the fish every day, and then looked at the growth of the cotton. Since there was an extra step to process the cotton seeds, the growth this time was not like the first time. That way, half dead, but full of life. At first, the cotton tree looked the same every day. After a week, when the main branches grew out, it gradually slowed down, but at least there were no symptoms of wilting and yellowing.
congratulations!
What makes people happier is his rice field. It has been almost three months since it was sown. The yellow-orange wheat ears are heavy and full of rice ears.
Unfortunately, this crop of rice must be kept as seeds, and the desire to eat rice can only wait until the next harvest.
In order to prepare for the harvest, Ji Qingyue sharpened his sickle early and imitated an ancient and simple threshing tool - a paddy bucket he had seen before. When the time came to cut the rice, he would smash the rice ears into the paddy bucket and the rice would fall. Into the grain barrel.
Because they are planted in the ground, there is no need to dry them. You can just sift the grains and directly raise the seedlings. All this can be completed before mid-May, and you will be able to eat fragrant rice around August or September!
