"The water is out, the water is out! There is really water down there!"
One early morning, a patrol member who was drilling a well shouted inside the well. The sound reverberated in the well and spread to the outside of the well as quickly as possible.
Yaeji immediately put down his work and ran to the well to check.
The patrol members staying in the well were very excited, and they started digging a little faster. The fine water continuously leached out from the soil, forming small springs, which were poured into the well.
"Be careful!" Yaeji warned from above.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, we will definitely finish this well today!"
The sky was still bright, the temperature was a little low, and many people were wearing long sleeves, but the news of the water leak made the patrol members' blood burn, and they worked very energetically.
In the past, when the weather was hot, everyone could only work in the early morning and evening. When the sun rose a little, they would start packing up and go back to their homes, leaving one or two to guard by the well.
But today was different. Until three o'clock in the morning, the sun ruthlessly released its scorching ultraviolet rays. Everyone was covered in sweat and their lips were chapped one after another. But even so, they did not stop working.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Yaeji's white forehead, and he unconsciously squinted his eyes when looking at the sky.
"Nozawa, bring over the turtle you prepared earlier!" Yaeji ordered.
"Okay Master Ji!"
A young man who was hoeing said hello and trotted back to the village.
The remaining members of the patrol team continued to work, and they did not know why Lord Ji wanted the turtle. They were relatively well-informed and knowledgeable people in the village.
Some time before the well was dug, someone in the village mistakenly ate the meat of a dead monster, and was dominated by the monster's hatred, turning into a corpse monster. At that time, Lord Ji used the sixth stage of Luo Ying Slash to dodge, and easily eliminated them.
What is the mystery in this, and they still don’t know it?
It is impossible for Lord Ji to do something meaningless on a "whim". Therefore, it is very likely that Lord Ji became a shrine witch and got in touch with the great gods and was guided by the gods to dig a well.
Such a miracle was born.
Of course, there are also some villagers who are not well-informed and do not know that Master Ji has become a "shrine maiden".
Ji-sama became a shrine maiden due to special reasons. They knew it in their own hearts and would not tell others randomly. The members of the patrol team all had a special sense of superiority in their hearts.
They know things others don't!
The only thing that worries them is that all three of the eight-layer clan members of this generation are girls, and the position of the eight-layer god...
Judging from the current situation, the Lord God still wants Master Ji to take the position of the next generation of God Lord. I just don’t know what the respected seniors in the village think.
"Ji-sama, Ji-sama!" Nozawa, who was running all the way from the village, held something in his hand and shouted as he ran: "Make way, please, the turtle that Ji-sama wants is here!"
Yae Ji's head was full of black lines and he took the turtle from Nozawa's hand.
After a bumpy journey, the turtle finally felt stable again and stretched out its slender head to take a look outside.
With a "swish" sound, he quickly retracted into the turtle shell.
"Ha...haha." Nozawa smiled awkwardly, "The domesticated one is probably shy."
Yae Ji twitched the corner of his mouth again, what is this all about?
After seeing that the turtle was alive, Yaeji threw the turtle to the man in charge of the patrol.
"Put the turtle down. If it survives seven days, the well will be ready for use."
"yes!"
The man held the turtle in his hands, as if he were holding a great sacred object.
Although he didn't understand why he put a turtle in and kept it for seven days, it didn't matter. It must have been guidance from the gods! Whatever the miko said was right! They just had to follow it.
The man respectfully put the turtle, which was regarded as a "holy object", into the barrel, and slowly lowered the barrel containing the holy object into the well. A series of operations made Yaeji even more speechless.
"Superstition is not advisable."
Yaeji's face was expressionless. He had long been accustomed to some strange words popping up in his mind from time to time.
The patrol members who were still in the well prepared a simple nest for the "holy object".
Waiting until the person who was working in the well was hoisted up, Yaeji clapped his hands and said: "Every day you set up a team to guard here, and no one can drink the water in the well! I mean no one! Hear me?
Is it done yet?”
"I heard it!"xn
Yae Ji nodded with satisfaction. He was taught by another world to put a turtle in the newly drilled well, saying it could detect whether the heavy metals in the water exceeded the standard, detect pollution, etc.
Although he didn't quite understand what he heard, he just followed the instructions. As a newbie, he still had to follow the master.
"Lord Ji."
While people were crowding around the well, the man leading the team ran over with a smile on his face, "This matter of digging the well and the 'sacred object' just put down were all guided by the gods?"
"You don't need to know." Yazhongji pretended to be profound and said: "Fetch that turtle out in seven days. If it's alive, the villagers can come here to fetch water every day. If it's dead..."
"Dead...how do you say it?" The man's heart was raised, and he didn't want to waste all his efforts.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll go back first." Yaeji glanced at the patrols surrounding the well and warned, "It's okay for the villagers to come and see, but don't drink the water there."
"Don't worry about this! Our patrol team will also arrange manpower here at night." The man beat his chest loudly.
...
"Brother, you have to knead it like this, otherwise the rice ball will be loose and not shapely."
Yaeji had no choice but to sit by Sakura's shop and watch Sakura's little hands doing their best on the rice balls.
The movements of his little hands were so fast that Yaeji, who was in a daze, saw the shape of a butterfly.
Ying's knee was injured, and for the past three days, he had to take care of everything at home, including cooking, hygiene, decoction, etc.
For the first time, he felt Sakura's hard work.
In the past, all these tasks were left to Ying. He would go to the warehouse to calculate the harvests submitted by the villagers, as well as collect herbs and minerals.
Seeing Yae Village's special rice balls forming quickly in Sakura's little hands, Yae Ji's heart rarely calmed down.
"My brother pinched me so ugly."
Rin's voice came from behind.
Yaeji's face froze, and he squeezed again with his palms, "Didn't you notice that I was squeezing the cutest Rin?"
"Eh?!"
"The cutest Rin you pinched will fall apart in the steam."
Sakura followed up with a last-ditch attack.
"No!" Rin squeezed into Yaeji's arms and sat down, keeping Yaeji's sinful hands away from the 'battlefield'.
