At the same time that Chen Yu was on his way back, Zuofeng Fortress, thousands of miles away from Shiya County, was undergoing a sudden change and smoke was billowing.
On that day, Da Qi general Gao Yanhong personally commanded 30,000 cavalry to knock on the pass.
He threatened to destroy the city in two days, clear out the six northern states in ten days, and in ten months he would take advantage of the wind and wander into the wilderness to station in Jianye!
For a time, dark clouds came over the banks of the river, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. They were already suffering from a severe drought, and now they were encountering weapons. Countless people, dragging their families and families, rushed to Henan and Hedong.
At the same time, there were also those who took advantage of the chaos to make profits. The White Lotus Sect, Wu Dou Dao and other prostitutes and wild priests spread their followers widely. The Qishan Rebels and the Eight Heavenly Kings of Yunyan even blatantly separatized one side to dominate and dominate, refusing to accept the king's rule.
There was so much turmoil that it was hard to rest, and most of the river was turned into a mess.
But all this has little to do with the Yunhe Temple in Qingtai Mountain, which is thousands of miles away.
No matter how the situation changes at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Yu is thinking more about how to place these little guys in the basket.
…
Cack~dah!
The slightly skinny hen looked around. When it came to a strange environment, it immediately lowered its head, fluffed its wings at its sides, and curled up nervously on the ground like a dumpling.
like a statue.
Compared to the two hens curled up into a ball, the rooster wearing a flaming crown and a red general's cloak is much more comfortable. It is like a king who has moved to the capital.
On the ground, he held out his black and shiny chest high.
Not to mention the little chicken, it was chirping and full of curiosity. It stepped forward on its short legs and ran around the two-legged beast in the courtyard.
After taking a look at these new residents, Chen Yu felt that it was still necessary to build a shack to protect him from the wind and rain. After all, the rain was coming soon. If one of them was accidentally exposed to the rain, there would probably be only a few of these chicks.
Can hold up.
After closing the courtyard gate, he took a hatchet and an ax to the back mountain, intending to cut some bamboo to make a fence.
Originally, there were chickens, ducks and livestock in the Taoist temple, but the old Taoist priest liked to spend time when he was young and couldn't take care of it, so it was demolished.
As for the predecessor, there is no need to expect to be able to raise chickens and ducks. These are just trivial matters in the eyes of the other party who is obsessed with promoting Yunhe's reputation and are completely unnecessary.
Meat? Just go down the mountain and buy it.
Is it time-consuming and labor-intensive to go back and forth? Then stay at the foot of the mountain for a while, just in time to do heroic things and walk in the world with a sword.
Silver resource consumption? The predecessor did not have this concept. If you have it, use it. In his opinion, gold and silver will not be taken with you in life or death, and there is really no need to worry about it.
It can be said that he is a very free and easy person, and then he died of being free and easy.
Chen Yu sighed, dismissed all these things in his mind, and focused on the present.
He has never made a bamboo fence before, but he saw his grandfather in his hometown do it in his previous life. His memory is a bit blurry. He wonders if he can still make it by imitating a cat and a tiger.
Cut off the bamboo, pick out the branches, break it according to the cross incision, peel it off, soak it in water...
Then we interspersed them together like braiding, first opened the head against it, estimated the width of the fence, and then it was only about a foot long.
"It's not enough."
Even if only half of the fence is surrounded and the other half is against the wall, this little fence is not enough.
I have no choice but to go up the mountain and cut down another batch.
Chen Yu held the knife with his fingers, held it against the bamboo clothes, and pulled out a long piece with a slight slide.
Soon, the newly cut bamboo pieces were also woven into the fence. Fortunately, the width was finally enough after two attempts.
In the courtyard, a fence about two feet long was laid flat on the ground, with thin bamboo slices running horizontally, pierced and entangled. It looked very strong and looked good.
While gesticulating, Chen Yu was still a little dissatisfied because an area in the lower right corner was too loose and looked a bit crooked when viewed from the front.
After touching his nose, he took the knife and lightly hit the inside twice with the back of the knife. He did not stop until the larger holes were squeezed out.
"I'll make do."
Let’s do this this time, and then repair it if something goes wrong in the future, or simply burn it and replace it after using it for a period of time.
There are a lot of bamboos on the mountain and can be cut at any time.
"I picked up a backpack for nothing."
He turned around and turned the bamboo basket containing the chickens upside down, poured out the grass wadding inside, patted it, and threw it beside the courtyard wall.
Then Chen Yu carried the freshly baked fence to the outside of the courtyard, near the back of the woodshed. He first fixed the two sides with two wooden sticks, then tied one end of the fence tightly with a hemp rope, and tied a long rope to the other end.
On a wooden stick.
"I have to make up three more."
He tried to measure the distance with his hands, then raised his eyes to look at the sky. Two doors were put together on the left and right sides, and one covered the top.
So Dian'er Dian'er returned to the courtyard and knitted the remaining bamboo pieces together to make three fences that were slightly smaller than before. She took them behind the Taoist temple and tied the spliced parts tightly with hemp ropes.
Use a long stick as thick as your arm to stick upside down on the ground, pass it through the rope and pull it slightly diagonally to make the simple shack in front of you more spacious.
After the roof was covered, I brought some grass from the yard and spread it on the roof. I also found some thatch and hung it on top as well.
After that, the shack must also be covered with hay.
By the time everything was tidied up, it was already dusk, and the glow in the distance was dim.
Back in the yard, the chicks were huddled next to the hens and resting.
The big rooster also seemed to be tired. He did not continue to patrol his new territory, but squatted down not far away and took a nap.
"Come on, everyone, let's take a look at our new home."
After driving the chickens to the fenced shed at the back of the yard, Chen Yu was satisfied. He looked at the clucking hens, then went to the kitchen to scoop up half a bowl of millet and sprinkle it on the ground.
The arrival of food undoubtedly aroused the appetites of the big and small birds, the atmosphere became heated again, their heads moved to eat, and their crows continued uninterrupted.
"Eat more. Only when you are full can you let me eat."
Looking at the nest of chickens in front of him, he seemed to see fat broilers shaking around.
How unbecoming is it for a Taoist priest to spend his whole day not thinking about Taoist scriptures, but instead thinking about farming or eating and drinking?
Oh, he is a fake Taoist priest, that's okay.
After squatting and watching for a while, Chen Yu turned around and left.
It was getting late, so it was time to get some food. Chicken was indeed easy to eat, but he couldn't.
"Well, let's cut some diced meat and make porridge tonight!"
Thinking like this, he remembered the two pieces of meat he had brought back. The chicken meat was a good thing. After the heavy rain, he would have to go to the mountains to pick some yams, angelica and the like, and stew a pot of fresh soup.
“It’s a pity that we can’t buy taro in Xizhou, otherwise we could have had taro shochu chicken.”
Taro also exists in this world, but it is easily poisoned due to improper handling, so few people eat it, and most of it is distributed in the southeast. Xizhou is located inland of Daliang, and except for some wild swamps, it is indeed difficult to find it.
Sighing with a little regret.
…
At night, he was jumping up and down and punching.
After going down the mountain, he had a deeper understanding of the fighting methods recorded in Yunhe Gong, but after all, he was not a person who liked fighting, so Chen Yu quickly returned his mind to the training methods.
He is obviously more interested in the word 'practice' than the word 'fight'.
The process of strengthening himself bit by bit gave him an inexplicable sense of nurturing pleasure.
The rules of fighting are different. You have to fight hard and fight with others to make progress. You can only master the moves by throwing punches day after day, but you will only show your cowardice when facing the enemy. Years of empty air will only make you better.
Lagging behind.
Therefore, in his view, the art of protecting the Tao must be developed, and it is necessary to review the past and learn new things from time to time, but there is really no need to invest too much energy in studying and honing it.
It would be fine if a talented martial arts prodigy was like this. A martial artist with ordinary qualifications like him still needs to find his own position and must not be half-hearted.
My mind was racing and my concentration was sinking.
The vigorous drumming continues to wash away the cortical membrane according to the rhythm of breathing...
