Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Liang Kangsheng understood the meaning behind Qu Erniu's words, and in order to dispel Erbo's doubts, he thought about how to explain in simple words: "Second Uncle, the water we usually use is divided into those that flow on the ground and those that flow underground. "

"The water on the ground is like rivers and lakes, and the underground water is like the water in the wells we drill. Generally speaking, the wells should be drilled in low-lying places because the underground water is usually in a lower place."

"However, our small hillside is blessed. There is also water flowing in the ground halfway up the mountain. The water was blocked by stones before. As soon as you move the stones away, Er Bo, the water will start to flow out."

"In fact, the water on the ground and the water under the ground are interlinked. Uncle, do you think that there are streams suddenly appearing in the middle of some higher mountains? Some streams can flow from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and some flow A section disappears, as does the pool on the mountainside.”

Liang Kangsheng himself has never been to deeper and higher mountains, but he has read many travel notes, which contain anecdotes from various places. Combining what happened today, he gradually figured out where the creeks that disappeared halfway in the mountains and forests went.

Listening to Liang Kangsheng's easy-to-understand and very professional explanation, Qu Erniu suddenly became enlightened. As a person who goes to the mountains from time to time and has seen many streams and pools, he had never thought about it before. Understand what's going on, now I understand.

Looking at Liang Kangsheng with admiration, Qu Erniu said sincerely: "My nephew and son-in-law are worthy of being scholars, and they know more things than us mud-legged people. Don't worry, Erbo will definitely make this spring well for you." !"

Liang Kangsheng was a little guilty. He didn't understand this at first, and he guessed it through the words of the system gods. He couldn't tell the outside world about the existence of the system gods, so he had to be cheeky and say nothing.

Qu Yi also understood under Liang Kangsheng's explanation. Just as he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of Qu Jiawang, who has always been serious in his work, and found that this kid turned his head to look at them from time to time, and he was hesitant to speak. stop.

Because of Qu Jiawang's special nature, Qu Yi carefully observed the other party, and found that this kid is really good, he has no wrong thoughts, and is an honest worker.

And not having a bad mind doesn't mean you're stupid, probably because there was no adult to take care of you when you were a child. When Qu Jiawang encountered something, he wasn't stupid or asked people right away. He would first think about whether he could solve it, and only if he couldn't solve it. Find Qu Erniu.

Qu Yi felt that Qu Jiawang was a little like his second uncle in this respect, and he was not a dead-headed person.

Therefore, he clearly saw Qu Jiawang's appearance, but Qu Yi pretended not to see it, thinking about what he had to say to the second uncle for a while.

After deciding what to do about removing the rocks and flooding, Liang Kangsheng and Qu Yi didn't stay on the mountain any longer, and went back to Liang's house after looking around.

Qu Erniu clapped his hands and stood up, and walked around the spring to plan what to do next. There was a tree around the spring, and it would be difficult to dig a hole unless the tree was cut down. So we have to dig ditches first...

Just when Qu Erniu was planning what to do first, Qu Jiawang finally made up his mind to remind Uncle Erniu, did the mountain god mean to stop them from moving the mountain?

Qu Jiawang seldom said anything else while working. He came to him suddenly. Qu Erniu listened to him very seriously at first, but after listening to what this kid said, Qu Erniu's expression became more and more weird.

Not to mention Qu Jiawang, the legend of the God of the Mountain, Qu Erniu also heard it when he was a child. People of the older generation always said that there are mountain gods, mountain spirits, mountain monsters, and mountain ghosts on the mountain. Spirits like to eat the most.

To put it bluntly, the old people scare the children, so that the children will not be ignorant and curious and run up the mountain while the adults are not paying attention. If they get lost or encounter a beast going down the mountain, it will be miserable, so use these stories scare people.

Not only is it arranged on the mountain, but people also say that there are water ghosts and water monsters in the water, and there are here and there outside after dark. In short, as long as there is danger, there will be various legends and stories.

Of course, Qu Erniu was also scared by these stories when he was a child. Later, when he grew up, although he had no children, he gradually understood the intention behind the stories when he watched his peers teach their children.

In Qu Jiawang's family, there was only him and a grandma with bad eyesight. Mrs. He couldn't take care of the child at all. In order to prevent her grandson from going to those dangerous places, Mrs. He must have told him a lot of these stories since she was a child.

"Uncle Erniu?" Seeing that Qu Erniu was about to smile, Qu Jiawang was extremely anxious.

Seeing that Qu Jiawang was already a young man, Qu Erniu decided to tell him the truth behind these stories.

When Qu Jiawang listened to Qu Erniu's explanation about mountain gods, mountain spirits, mountain monsters, and mountain ghosts, his expression was in a trance for a while, and there was no expression on his face for a while, as if he couldn't take it easy.

Qu Erniu suppressed a smile, patted Qu Jiawang on the shoulder, and comforted the little guy: "Jiawang, you're not the only one who doesn't know this, many kids your age don't know about it, look, Uncle Erniu You take care of things at home and outside the house alone, and you think you are an adult, so you tell you the secrets of these adults, you must keep it a secret."

Nodding mechanically, Qu Jiawang took the sickle and went back to work, but his whole body seemed to be divided into two parts, one part looked at the things in front of him and worked hard, and the other part thought about the stories he had heard since he was a child.

When the fog is cleared, the truth can be clearly seen. Maybe there is no mountain god on the mountain, and this spring is not caused by the anger of the mountain god...

Because of the shock he received, Qu Jiawang still didn't recover until he went back to have dinner. He sat blankly, his eyes only focused on one place, and he didn't know where he was thinking.

Coincidentally, the direction Qu Jiawang was staring at happened to be the small table where Mi Shi and Chen Shi were eating.

It was inconvenient for Mi Shi and his two girls to eat with a group of men, so they set up another small table in the corner of the yard to eat. Qu Jiawang's eyes were noticed by the sensitive Chen Shi.

The men were eating in the house, and the light was relatively not that good. Chen could only see clearly that the person looking at them was Qu Jiawang, but he couldn't see the specific expression of Qu Jiawang. He thought that this kid kept looking at them. What is the direction of doing?

Looking up at Mrs. Chen and continuing to eat, looking at her niece Sanya who was silently picking up food and not talking, Mrs. Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, wondering if Qu Jiawang was looking at Qu Sanya?

Qu Jiawang and Qu Sanya are both 15 years old this year, and they will be 16 years old this year. They are the age of restlessness. In the past, they had different life trajectories and did not overlap. Now they can see many times when they go in and out every day. Maybe Jiawang This kid has moved his mind?

Look at Qu Sanya again. When she was in the Qu family, she used to have a thin bamboo pole and bean sprouts. She looked like a child who hadn't grown up. When she went to the Liang family to raise some meat, she looked like a girl.

Qu Sanya couldn't feel Qu Jiawang's gaze, but Chen could feel it when he looked at her from time to time, and she was a little nervous. She didn't know why Second Aunt wanted to look at her.

After pondering for a while, Qu Sanya wondered if her face was stained with food, she quietly stretched out her hand to touch her face, but she didn't feel anything, and then wondered if it might be the ash on her face while helping to light the fire.

Qu Sanya's cheeks were a little flushed because of rubbing her face a few more times, which made Chen, who was paying attention to her, affirm his guess, and went through these things in his mind. Ask Erniu if it is necessary to separate the two children a little in the future.

Qu Erniu, a big man, didn't notice so many details. He didn't connect the abnormality of Qu Jiawang mentioned by Chen with the discovery of the spring today. After all, the two things seemed completely unrelated.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Qu Erniu asked Fulang to let nature take its course and ignore the two children: "Jiawang is just a little poor at home, but this kid is a good guy, and he is willing to work hard. When he grows up, he will always be happy." It will get better and better.”

However, after thinking about it, Qu Erniu felt that there was something wrong: "Qu Jiawang's family is small, maybe it is easy to be bullied?"

On the contrary, Mrs. Chen felt that there was no need to worry: "The advantage of having fewer people is that there are fewer people. Sanya has a soft temper. If she marries into a family with many complicated people, she will have many frictions with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the future, just like our family. In this way, as long as Qu Jiawang can support himself in the village, that's fine, men can't rely on the women at home."

Qu Erniu thought that this is the reason. As long as he can gain a foothold in the village, it will not be easy for outsiders to go beyond Qujia Village to bully others. There is no need to have a large family. He actually appreciates Qujiawang. If this kid If he could really make it with Sanya, he thought it would be better than marrying Sanya to another village.

Mrs. Chen murmured to Mrs. Qu Erniu about this matter. He didn't bring it to Mrs. Mi. If Mrs. Mi told her about it, she looked nervously at Qu Jiawang and scared the child away and made a fuss. It's a joke.

In the past, Mrs. Chen would not have cared so much, but after being out with Da Fang for a few days, and getting along with the two nieces a lot, he inevitably got closer to the nieces than before, so he thought a little more.

***

The spring dug out of the mountain, Liang Kangsheng, plans to buy back the small canal of the blue brick shop. It will cost a lot of money and the amount of work is not small. More importantly, Liang’s father must agree to use the mountain spring water to make wine. So when he came down from the mountain, Liang Kang Sheng ran to find Father Liang without stopping.

Leaving aside the wine making for now, he said that he found a spring on the mountain. In order to facilitate watering the trees in the future, he wanted to dig the spring bigger and buy green bricks to simply lay a canal.

Selling vinegar today earned several hundred taels of silver, so buying blue bricks was not a problem. Seeing that Liang Kangsheng attached great importance to the spring, Liang's father agreed without saying a word, and immediately asked Liang Duodao to handle the matter.

Liang Kangsheng had already told Qu Erniu his arrangement for the mountain spring just now, so he asked Liang Duodao to go to the mountain to discuss with Qu Erniu in detail, to see how many blue bricks he needed.

After Liang Kangsheng finished talking about the spring, Father Liang took his son to the study and asked about his concerns.
