In my days as a farmer

Grass-roots cadres are the most messy and toughest positions in the administrative organization. Assistant Xiao Li has experienced a lot of big and small things in the past few years as a village cadre in Xiaojin Village. He is also quite experienced in dealing with fires.

Back then, there was a fire in Xiaojin Village during religious activities. At that time, everyone had no experience, and no one knew how to use a fire extinguisher. In the end, Assistant Xiao Li, who had just graduated, rushed to the scene and took up the heavy responsibility of putting out the fire. .

In fact, Assistant Xiao Li is also forced by life.

The village where his hometown is located is on the edge of the forest. When fireworks and firecrackers were not banned in the early years, there was a small fire every two years during the Spring Festival, not to mention the lightning strikes caused by thunderstorms and open flames during grave sweeping. wildfire.

It was inconvenient for fire trucks to enter the valley, and at that time the firefighters did not have the same equipment as they do now, so it all depended on the villagers' awareness of fire prevention.If the villagers can't stop it, it will basically collapse.

Such a living environment made Assistant Xiao Li very sensitive to fireworks. Now when he saw smoke coming from the roof of Xia Dongli's house, his first reaction was to pick up the leather pipes and pipe adapters on the ground and rush upstairs.

At this time, Xia Dongli hadn't fully reacted yet.He just glanced back at the roof, and when he turned his head again, he could only see the back of Assistant Li.What's even more exaggerated is that Assistant Xiao Li actually cleaned up the pipeline while running!

Xia Dongli bought a 30-meter pipe. The pipe was very long, and it was scattered all over the place before, so Assistant Xiao Li simply wrapped the pipe around his shoulders, and quickly pinched the long water pipe head. Ministry, that look looks like he is going to work hard.

Xia Dongli was stunned, and hurriedly followed, "Wait, isn't that on fire!"

It was too late for him to shout. Assistant Xiao Li had already stomped into the room carrying his heavy pipe. His steps were as light as a swallow, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xia Dongli hurriedly chased after him, and finally when he stopped Assistant Xiao Li in the bathroom, he had already selected the correct pipe adapter and connected the pipe and faucet, and he was just short of the last step to pass the water.

Fortunately, we caught up!

Once this kind of water pipe is connected to water, there is no second control valve. When the time comes, they will leak water as they go upstairs. Even if the roof does not catch fire in the end, his small building will be flooded.

"It's not a fire! It's just incense." Xia Dongli walked towards the rooftop with Assistant Xiao Li who looked suspicious.

In fact, he was also a little puzzled in his heart, it was just to light some incense, how could Xiao Yan make such a big smoke?

But he was really not worried about the fire on the roof. On the one hand, they also put several water tanks on the roof of their house to store water. If there was a fire, he could handle it by himself with Xiaoyu's strength.

On the other hand, he didn't put anything on the roof, the roof was newly renovated, and the ground was covered with non-combustible concrete. The only thing that could catch fire was probably the shrine he just bought.

The most important thing is that from just now until now, he has not smelled the smell of burning things, and there is only a faint smell of Xiangzhenxiang in the room.

Hmm... This smell seems to be a little different from the Jiangzhen incense smell when he lit it just now, it's a bit deeper and longer.

Ah, it smells so good!

As a spice lover, Xia Dongli sniffed hard, feeling a little intoxicated.

Jiangzhenxiang, like agarwood, is made from the oil secreted by the wounds of plants after being injured by external forces.

In addition, the carrier of Jiangzhenxiang is more unique. It will feed back different types of spices for each external injury, that is to say, the content of organic matter in the oil secreted by its wounds will be slightly different each time. And this difference is the most amazing thing about Jiangzhenxiang—even if the same piece of spice is injured for different reasons, its fragrance will be different.

Xia Dongli bought Jiangzhen incense in powder form. The masters will pre-sort the wood before grinding, and will try their best to stir the powder to enhance the stability of its fragrance.So if you just sit by the incense burner and smell it, it may not be easy to distinguish the difference, but now that they are under the incense burner, after molecular movement and particle precipitation, the smell has a sense of hierarchy, which is what he smelled.

But he closed the roof door when he left, and the smell could still spread into the room. Well, Xia Dongli felt that even if Xiao Yan set up an incense tower array on the roof, he wouldn't be surprised.

But when he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but doubt his judgment.

The moment the door was opened, the stagnant air on the roof re-formed convection, and the smoke that was originally dense and settled was immediately disturbed, and they spread to the surroundings, and instantly faded.

Xia Dongli met Xun Ao who was looking back in surprise at a glance. The young man looked over with a trace of disturbed confusion in his eyes, looking extremely innocent.

The most important thing is that there is only one incense burner in front of him, and there is no incense tower array as he imagined. The ground is also clean, without water stains, and the dog house is intact. The entire rooftop presents a very normal atmosphere. situation.

Xia Dongli looked at the box containing the powder again, and the amount was very limited. It was obvious that Xun Ao had used it sparingly from the very beginning, and he suddenly felt a little baffled.

According to this dosage, how can such a large amount of smoke be formed in an open outdoor space?

Assistant Xiao Li, who was walking behind him, also followed him to take a look, and his expression immediately showed a hint of confusion. He stretched out his head and sniffed, but he also didn't smell anything other than the rich incense.

"What's the matter?" Xun Yao glanced at the two people who hurried upstairs, feeling quite confused.

He stood up from the futon and walked towards the two of them.Xia Dongli explained the situation to him in a few words. Hearing this, Xun Ao's expression showed some surprise and bewilderment. Afterwards, he shook his head, indicating that nothing unusual happened.

The scene environment is indeed very clean, and in the end it can only be regarded as a problem of perspective.

No one noticed that on the Boshan furnace blocked by Xun Yao, the smoke that flowed like curdled milk suddenly became lighter. blow off.

Under normal circumstances, the smoke from an incense burner will certainly not produce such thick smoke, but what if all the smoke from the beginning to the end is compressed in one space?

This was the scene before Xia Dongli went upstairs: Xun Ao confined the smoke in a small space and enjoyed himself in it.In order to make the smoke taste better, he also tried to remove the miscellaneous smell, making the smoke more pure.

All of this came from instinct. If Xia Dongli had come up earlier, what he would have seen would be Xun Ao pulling smoke and picking and choosing.

In addition to mixing his unconscious breath as a reconciliation, the player-level Jiangzhen incense purchased by Xia Dongli even used such a rough method of playing incense (←Taxiang is an entry-level in the eyes of professionals), and it still showed its full potential. Master level.

This is actually the reason why Xia Dongli can smell the layered fragrance of Jiangzhenxiang downstairs.

Xia Dongli, who didn't know it, touched the powder box. He consciously found the correct posture for smelling the fragrance, and he was still sharing this little secret with Xun Yao.Assistant Xiao Li over there relaxed when he saw that there was no fire. He looked left and right at the roof behind Xia Dongli, then walked to the edge and looked down.

The small brick house of Xia Dongli's family is in the highest position in Xiaojin Village, and now he is standing on the top of the building even more condescendingly, with a panoramic view of the village and farmland in the distance, and the vision is very good.

"Xiao Xia, the view from the roof of your building is very nice. It's not covered. You can put a deck chair on it at night in summer, but there are more mosquitoes..." As he said this, he turned his head, and his eyes met a pair of kennels in the kennel. Bright red eyes.

Assistant Li: "..."

What the hell is this?

He took a closer look, and found that there was a small pottery beast lying on all fours in the dark brown kennel.Although the little beast looked cute, its eyes were painted red, and the paint was mottled all over its body, and some places were peeling off.

Assistant Xiao Li glanced at Xia Dongli who was talking to Xun Yao, then at the kennel and the pottery beasts in front of him, and then at the apples and incense burner on the small bench, feeling a little thoughtful.

"Xiao Yao, after you go downstairs, remember to take a bath first," Xia Dongli told Xun Yao while lighting the incense seals just made, "Remember to change your clothes, otherwise, don't enter silkworms. house."

The silkworm baby of Xia Dongli's family has changed its skin twice, and seeing that victory is just around the corner, it must not fall by the wayside.Xun Yao nodded cautiously, and the two looked at each other with a little annoyance.

Xia Dongli didn't expect that because of a moment of soft-heartedness, he would have to live a life where he couldn't light mosquito coils, sprinkle toilet water, and often pick mulberry leaves.

Xun Yao was even more annoyed than he was.

He had just arrived at the time, and Xia Dongli sent him to the police station because of his careless behavior, so he acted a little cautiously afterwards, and naturally he didn't dare to ask what the fragrance he smelled before was.

Then, he waited until the mosquito coils exploded.

Xia Dongli used this formation not only to fume away the flies and mosquitoes, but also to Xun Yao.For him, mosquito coils, a highly smoky chemical incense, are simply a fighter against inferior food.If it is hard to compare, the spice used by [admin1] in the previous time was rice, and the mosquito coil later was boiled rice bran, which is hard to swallow.

But he didn't dare to raise his opinion, so he could only accept it wronged.

After comparison, although the spices used in the human fireworks when offering sacrifices to the Silkworm God are not good, they are much better than mosquito coils.Xun Yao felt that he had found a new way to get food.

Later, he heard that after raising silkworms, he could not light mosquito coils, so he crossed the river and demolished the bridge on the spot, and enthusiastically encouraged Xia Dongli to raise silkworms, so as to cut off the persecution of mosquito coils.

Being forced to eat the things I hate the most every day, this feeling is really terrible, who can refuse the opportunity to improve the food.

However, what he didn't expect was that there was only one sacrifice to the silkworm god in Xiaojin Village, and the statue of the god was usually placed in a family's home.Although that family usually burns incense, it is during the day, and he has to go with Xia Dongli during the day, so naturally he can't go to eat, and they don't light incense when they fall asleep at night.

... It's better to light mosquito coils.

It's just that Xia Dongli is a person who must take good care of whatever he raises, which can be seen from Rice.Although his physique is very attractive to insects, he would rather wear long clothes, long trousers and mosquito nets than use any insect repellent products. He dances vigorously with an electric mosquito swatter every day, but even so, there are mosquitoes on his body Bag.

Seeing his stubbornness, Xun Yao had no choice but to bite his finger to force out a drop of blood, and put it on the bottom of Xia Dongli's bed, which made him sleep well.

For creatures like silkworms, the brain circuits of the two are exactly the same - if you give him another chance, you will never raise them again!

But what Xun Yao didn't know was that even without Canxia Dongli, he wouldn't order mosquito coils at home anymore!Because there are more small lives in the small pool.The chemical components in mosquito coils are also harmful to aquatic animals.

So he has bought wormwood sticks online.

It is also smoked, but the safety of wormwood to animals and plants is much higher. The only disadvantage is the large smoke, but this is an outdoor environment, and the smoke is acceptable.

Xia Dongli thought very well, as long as all the tadpoles in the pond grow into frogs, it would be fine. According to the number of these tadpoles, does he still have to worry about the bug crisis?

For the little tadpole, all his patience now is worth it.

Xia Dongli's gaze was very firm.

At this time, Assistant Xiao Li seemed to have prepared his emotions. He patted Xia Dongli on the shoulder, with a three-point cautious, three-point rigorous and four-point tentative expression, and then rummaged through the woven bag he brought. , took out a booklet and handed it to Xia Dongli.

While delivering the brochure, he also said, "Xiao Xia, I heard that you are a top student..."

Xia Dongli responded, and said modestly: "No, no, I'm just an ordinary college graduate, and I can't even be considered a high-achieving student!"

"Oh," Assistant Xiao Li responded, and squeezed the booklet in his hand tightly. Xia Dongli twitched for a while, and when he raised his head in doubt, he met his serious expression: "Well, Comrade Xiao Xia, this year our rural Let’s start talking about the implementation of civilized propaganda to the villagers, do you want to help make a small blackboard newspaper?”

ah?Why is there still such a thing?Xia Dongli was stunned for a moment, and tried to evade: "But I'm very bad at drawing..."

"It's okay, it's okay, just write a few words, you can search for some slogans on the Internet and copy them." Assistant Xiao Li held Xia Dongli's hand holding the booklet with his other hand, and said very sincerely, "Your words are very good. Good looking, I believe in you."

"Oh... oh, that's fine." Xia Dongli thought for a while that he was usually troublesome to Assistant Xiao Li, and if he could help, he could also repay the favor.Seeing that Comrade Xiao Li's hand was finally loosened, he took the brochure and asked, "Then what's the theme this time...?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the words on the cover of the pamphlet written in the leader's favorite font size [-] and typesetting: Oppose Cults, Advocate Science.

Xia Dongli: ...Huh?

The author has something to say: Assistant Xiao Li: I broke the heart of an old father.

Dongli: At this moment, sincerity is the wrong payment after all!

Xun Yao: suck suck suck
