Lin Luo and Er Ni made an appointment to hunt pigweed together the next day, and then headed to Fang's house.
Liu Chunhua was very satisfied with Lin Luo's killing of pigweed, but she never showed anything and was still very picky.
It's not that Liu Chunhua doesn't have money to hire servants to take care of Fang Li. She still has a lot of old things in her dowry. Although it's not as good as everyone else, it's not too bad.
The reason why she asked Lin Luo and Tang Yuan to serve her was just to satisfy her desire to be a wealthy old lady, and to save money on taking care of her son.
After having Tang Yuan, Liu Chunhua no longer needs to worry about her son, nor does she need to worry about who should do the chores at home.
When Lin Luo walked into Fang's house, he immediately saw Liu Chunhua lying on the rocking chair.
As for Tang Yuan, he was squeezing her shoulders.
"Give me a heavier weight, haven't you eaten yet?"
Even if Tang Yuan pinched Liu Chunhua's shoulders carefully, she would still find fault.
Either it's too heavy, or it's too light. Anyway, something is wrong somewhere.
Lin Luo pursed his lips, placed the large bamboo pole behind him on the idle stone mill, and slowly lowered it.
It was still very hot after going out. Even after eating some plums, the walk down the mountain took so long that Lin Luo wanted to drink water now.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Luo put down the basket on his back and before he could go to the kitchen to drink water, he was stopped by Liu Chunhua.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in the kitchen? What do you want to steal?"
After asking three questions in a row, Tang Yuan stopped talking.
Lin Luo glanced at Liu Chunhua lightly. Usually, Liu Chunhua left her and Tang Yuan alone as if to guard against thieves, and did not leave anything in the kitchen at all.
Even if there are good things, they are hidden in her own room.
Now that Liu Chunhua said such words, she really did not feel guilty.
"Grandma, I'm just thirsty and want to drink some water."
"Stop bluffing. There is so much water to drink outside. You have to go to the kitchen. Why don't you want to steal something?" Liu Chunhua snorted coldly.
Lin Luo didn't want to answer Liu Chunhua's unreasonable troubles at all.
Forget it, I'll drink it in front of her later.
"Grandma, I'm going to kill the pigweed."
After Lin Luo said this, without waiting for Liu Chunhua's reply, he directly put the bamboo pole on his back again and went to the back of the yard.
Seeing that she was so "righteous", Liu Chunhua gave up.
Tang Yuan's eyes turned red, and the movements of his hands stagnated slightly.
Looking at his daughter's turning back, Tang Yuan bit her lip, with a complicated look on her face, and she was hesitant about making a decision in her heart.
But Lin Luo didn't feel too bad. She slaughtered the pigweed and boiled it in a big pot, added some bran, let it cool for a while and then fed it to the pigs.
The Fang family raised two pigs and a dozen chickens, all of which were fed by Lin Luo.
It can be said that Liu Chunhua is domineering at home.
Spending the minimum amount of money, I found two servants and realized a happy life with clothes on my hands and food on my hands.
It was already dark after finishing everything. Lin Luo's dinner today was a bowl of rice soup and half a sweet potato, but she was not hungry at all.
Fortunately, Liu Chunhua didn't check Lin Luo's big back bamboo basket on weekdays. She didn't even know there were plums under the big bamboo basket. She planned to feed Tang Yuan secretly at night.
Tang Yuan did not sleep in Fang Li's room. She had her own separate room, which was a little larger than Lin Luo's converted woodshed.
It's not that Fang Li is considerate of Tang Yuan, but that he always feels like someone is harming him since he broke his leg.
If you want to do something at night, you can just call Tang Yuan, since he must be alone anyway.
It's interesting to say that the original owner only met Fang Li on the day Tang Yuan and Fang Li got married, while Lin Luo has never met his stepfather until now.
After Lin Luo took a cold shower with well water, he sneaked into Tang Yuan's room.
Tang Yuan was mending clothes. She didn't have time to mend clothes during the day. She had endless things to do, and Liu Chunhua wanted to cause trouble for her.
"Luoluo, why don't you go and rest?"
Lin Luo had a big bulge on her chest. She carefully closed the door and took out the plums wrapped in rags from her arms.
"Mom, I went up the mountain today and found plums. You can hide them in the house and eat them for two days when you're hungry. I'll pick them again after you're done."
"It turns out to be plums. Is there such a thing here in Songjiagou? I haven't eaten it in many years. You are so interested." Tang Yuan smiled gently, "Silly girl, eat it yourself, you are still growing."
Lin Luo, who was already eleven years old, looked as if he was still less than ten years old. He had no flesh on his body, which made Tang Yuan feel extremely distressed.
"Don't worry, Mom, I still have some. What's more, I've eaten a lot today. Eating more will be bad for your health. I specially selected these for you. They are big and sweet. I will hide them in the pig when I come back.
Under the grass, she doesn’t know." Lin Luo laughed.
Since her daughter insisted, Tang Yuan naturally said nothing.
After delivering the plums, Lin Luo did not leave in a hurry, but Tang Yuan was a little confused.
"Luoluo, Mom accepted it, why don't you go and rest? You have to go out early tomorrow morning, so you have to have a good sleep."
Lin Luo not only did not leave, but sat down next to Tang Yuan.
"Mom, you said that someone from the Lin family is going to take me to test my spiritual roots in a few days. Can you tell me about cultivation?"
Tang Yuan was stunned, but she did not expect that her daughter would be interested in cultivation.
Recalling what her daughter had said before, she understood that Lin Luo wanted to help her.
"You silly girl, there is no need to worry about spiritual roots. I have spiritual roots and I haven't cultivated them yet." Tang Yuan put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked into the distance with a faraway look, "Luoluo, you have to remember, even if you have spiritual roots
Don’t be proud of your roots.”
Immediately, Tang Yuan introduced the spiritual root to Lin Luo.
Spiritual roots are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade spiritual roots, with a total of eight types.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual roots are relatively common. When testing, the purity is judged by the depth of their color. The turbider the color, the less pure it is, and the slower the cultivation process. The clearer the color, the purer it is.
It is also faster to practice.
However, pure spiritual roots are relatively rare and are also known as the best spiritual roots.
The other three spiritual roots are ice, thunder, and wind. These three spiritual roots are spiritual roots with different attributes. They can be cultivated quickly and are powerful.
These three kinds of spiritual roots usually appear in the disciples of the sect. Even if they are only high-grade spiritual roots, they are enough to be called a powerful being.
The more spiritual roots there are, the worse it is. If there are more than three spiritual roots, it will be particularly difficult to practice.
The more spiritual roots there are, the less able they are to practice. The resources consumed by practice are terrifying. These people are often unable to balance the spiritual power in their bodies and cannot practice together.
"Mom, according to what you said, the two spiritual roots are very good. What if the two spiritual roots are both top-quality spiritual roots with different attributes?"
Tang Yuan smiled and said, "How can there be so many people with dual spiritual roots? The three spiritual roots of ice, thunder, and wind are too powerful, and sometimes they are not even compatible."
It seems that Qingxuan Continent's cultivation is different from that of Blue Star, so no wonder she can't draw spiritual energy into her body.
At least, there is no such thing as spiritual roots in Blue Star.
"So that's it. What if there are people with all eight spiritual roots?"
