Chapter 274 Earth Temple
The Qing family patriarch made his disciples cross the Ming Road in public to make them feel pressured and fearful.
No matter what these people think, it is not within Lin Shu's consideration.
I didn't expect to meet a master for free while fleeing from famine.
Lin Shu said that the more masters like this the better.
No matter how many people come, there will never be too many people.
She knew very well what it meant to be someone's apprentice.
As long as you are an apprentice, you have to take care of your master until his death.
This is a responsibility that cannot be delayed.
Having accepted the gift from her master in public, what gift should she give to her master in return?
Forget about the ginseng. Master has a rosy complexion, strong qi and blood, and is free from illness and disaster.
Her ginseng is a life-saving medicine and cannot be wasted.
After thinking about it, it seems that only peach blossom wine can be given as a gift.
Let's do it, but now is not the best time.
Lin Shu kept this in mind, and whenever she had the chance she would give him a small jar of the improved version of peach blossom wine.
The stingy Lin Shu never thought of giving a big jar of peach blossom wine.
It is considered generous to give you a jar of two kilograms of peach blossom wine.
Just think about it, there is only a little bit of peach blossom wine left in a jar.
Any more would be painful.
...
As wisps of smoke rose, people working in the fields finished their work and went home.
The old farmer, smoking an empty pipe, walked around the ridge of the field anxiously.
Bend down from time to time to check on the sprouts, or pinch one or two caterpillars to death.
"Alas, it will be too late if the seedlings don't sprout.
We have to think of other ways, the germination rate of late wheat is too low.
The weather is so unpredictable, please don't let it rain again."
The old farmer looked at the black clouds rising from the west and suddenly felt his heart pounding.
There is no hope in the field, so he should take care of his health first.
During a late spring cold snap, a cold storm did not take his life, but it took away his old wife and little granddaughter.
The house can no longer withstand the wind and rain. As he said, he is just an old man and will die if he does.
What to spend that money on.
The people were rescued, but we don’t know where the food rations for next month are.
What should I do with this day?
...
‘Da da da~’
A convoy of vehicles passed by on the official road, stirring up clouds of choking dust.
The old farmer hiding on the ridge of the field cast his sharp eyes on the last two cows.
With his mouth open, his throat gurgled, as if he was being summoned by a spell.
The half-closed old eyes were now particularly wide open.
My eyes followed the cow closely, moving at steady steps.
"Cow~moo~moo~"
Before he could finish his words, the convoy left only its backs behind and went away into the afterglow of the setting sun.
...
Daan Town.
The town is covered in dust and the name of the town is carved in stone, but the middle character is missing.
At a glance, it's a big town.
The town gate had long disappeared, and the convoy entered the town unimpeded.
The bumpy stone road became even more dilapidated due to years of disrepair.
Lin Shu stared at the calf's hooves, fearing that they would accidentally get stuck in the crack.
A little light came through a small open door on the street.
The woman was squatting under the eaves washing wild vegetables, and from time to time she was shouting at her children to work.
A few men, all sweaty, were squatting on the street talking about farm work.
I wasn't very curious about the convoy that suddenly appeared in the town.
Because every day, there are carriages and people passing through the town, the best business is the Xilai Inn.
These people arrived late and could only set up tents in the yard of the inn.
"Moo~moo~"
"Pah~ Ta~"
The person who was about to continue chatting and gossiping had his homemade cigarette fall to the ground, burning his leg before he could even flick it off.
He got up quickly and chased after the convoy.
Ran……
"What's going on? He ran away before he could even finish his words."
"I think I hear a cow mooing!"
"Impossible, how can a cow catch up with a donkey?"
"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, just go and see for yourself!"
The young man said this and ran after him.
He also wanted to see what kind of cow it was that could easily catch up with a donkey.
Besides, life without cows is too hard.
...
Lin Shu turned her head to look behind her and saw that a few people had turned into a group chasing after them.
Needless to say, this is again the cow's fault.
Cows are animals protected by the government, so it is impossible for them to be in such a shortage that they are hard to come by.
Could it be that they killed the cattle when they fled the famine?
No matter how many cows are killed, the government should at least leave some for breeding!
Lin Shu had no knowledge of the ancient official system, and had no idea about the measures to protect animals.
Don’t think about it, at least I got a few cows.
There are already two cows with calves in the space, and two calves that are just one month old.
These people were still passionate about cattle, so they didn't dare to bring out the two calves.
Along the way, what Lin Shu was most worried about were the two calves.
These two bison are only half a year old and are obviously much smaller than adult bison.
That's why Lin Shu called it a calf. If it were in the hands of a farmer, it would have been used to pull the plow in the field long ago.
But Lin Shu couldn't bear to do so, and would never sell the two as working cattle.
The cows in her family can earn work points, and she will have a stable job in the future.
Lin Shu touched the cow's firm butt sympathetically, wondering how many people would be jealous of it.
What a show-off cow, attracting so many people to watch, but these two guys are not shy at all.
While Lin Shu was complaining about the two cows, others were envious of her for having the opportunity to drive an ox cart.
The degree of jealousy was no less than seeing a BMW in front of you.
I obviously like it so much, but I don’t even have the chance to touch it.
How sour and refreshing that is.
...
The only inn in the town was full.
Some people who are reluctant to spend money just find a roof over their heads on the street.
Just spread the family's bedding on the ground and it becomes a free bed.
"Boss, is there any other place to stay?
There are sixty-eight of us, please make some allowance."
“There’s really no other way, you see there are people sleeping on the floor outside.
Our store is too small to accommodate too many people.
Let me remind you that there is a land temple five miles outside the town."
After finishing all the work, the shopkeeper was already a little exhausted.
He looked up and saw a crowd of people outside.
Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed as I couldn’t even provide food and drink for the previous group of people.
If another group of people comes, just close the store.
However, you can squeeze in the lobby.
But how to solve other problems?
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The faster people walk, the better."
"Hurry up, there will be no room if you are any later.
There isn't a yard in this town that's big enough to accommodate so many of you at once."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Chang San clasped his fists, bowed, turned around and left, not even bothering to pay a coin.
He told this to Shopkeeper Qing.
"Are we going to the land temple?"
"Go, there are so many of us, we are not afraid of those things." Shopkeeper Qing said with a smile.
...
With no place to stay, the group of people naturally went to the land temple outside the town in a mighty manner.
I chased the person who came to see the cow and asked the shopkeeper, but found nothing.
The fog was thick at night.
Smoke and fog mixed into ribbons, entwining villages, fields, and branches.
With one step, you can clearly feel the smoke being broken.
Surrounded by a ring of smoke, there is a temple with its red paint peeling badly.
The doors and windows of the land temple were hanging on the wall in a crooked manner.
Opposite the door is a red Buddha statue. From the peeling red paint, it can be seen that it is a land god made of a mixture of straw and yellow mud.
After all the coaxing, they actually coaxed the gods into submission. No wonder this continent is no longer protected.
