"My neighbor is definitely not as simple as a beast in the ordinary sense..." Liu Xiu looked at the calm lake and said in his heart.

In terms of body shape, Liu Xiu was confident that he would pound him down if he had other giant pythons, but he was really unsure of the giant python in the lake. The other party could freeze the lake by sneezing, and Liu Xiu said that he could not afford to offend him for the time being.

Similar to the legendary talented magical powers, this is just the tip of the iceberg revealed by the neighbor's ability. God knows what ability there is...

So, Liu Xiu temporarily gave up on the idea of ​​getting to know the hazy woman from his neighbor.

The appearance of the dark shadow woman was an accident. Although she didn't figure out who she was, Liu Xiu didn't care too much about this matter. He kept it in mind and might encounter it again in the future. It doesn't matter if he didn't meet it. Life should still be lived as usual.

The water pavilion has been repaired, so Liu Xiu moved it there. In this way, he will completely become neighbors with the giant python in the lake. He really looks up and sees it.

The giant python in the lake either appears on the water surface or at the bottom, but isn't it just that he looks up and sees him...

It was not long before busy chasing the black shadow woman, and Chaoyang only showed half of his face in the sky. Before Liu Xiu moved over, he decided to practice health care and make food to fill his stomach.

It is said that it is moving, but in fact it is just a matter of form. Liu Xiu has already built the seats and beds in the water pavilion. This time he moved there, he brought two clothes and a wolf-skin blanket.

Standing on the terrace on the second floor of the Water Pavilion, Liu Xiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, always feeling that something was almost there.

After thinking for a moment, he slapped his forehead and flew across the mountain like a figure flying across the sky...

When Liu Xiu left, the lake surface calmed down, the giant python quietly stretched out half of its head. First, he looked at the departure Liu Xiu in confusion, and then looked at the black clothes placed on the terrace of the waterside terrace by Liu Xiu. His eyes seemed a little entangled, but in the end he did nothing and slowly sank into the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Not long after, Liu Xiu, who had gone outside the mountain, came back again, with a pack of things, fragrant candles and the like.

When moving, how can you not have a sense of ritual?

As a Chinese, weddings, funerals, moving houses and other things were considered a major event for everyone in that country, and necessary rituals must not be missed.

So then Liu Xiu caught fish and chased rabbits, and worked hard to make a table of sumptuous dishes. Then he paid serious respects to heaven and earth and various gods, muttering to bless his family and other things.

I can even run into this inexplicable world. Who can explain the things like gods and monsters clearly?

In fact, according to Liu Xiu's understanding, people in this world also have these priorities, and he is not unique and alone, even though no one sees it.

After 'receiving' all kinds of immortals, Liu Xiu then did the table of rich dishes. He ate the food so well that his mouth was so oily that he had a round stomach. Finally, he made a cup of tea for himself and lay on the terrace to digest food.

After such a busy work, half a day passed.

"In the future, when the weather is good, come to the water pavilion to live in small and medium-sized water pavilion, read books and drink tea, etc. It is usually in a house on the hill. Compared to this, water pavilion is more suitable for leisure..."

On the terrace on the second floor of the Water Pavilion, Liu Xiu was talking to himself as he looked at the surrounding lakes and mountains.

Now it is almost summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, almost as he expected. It took more than two months to build a water pavilion. It is the time when the lotus is in full bloom. Green leaves, pink flowers, and frogs are screaming. The breeze blows, and the red flowers and green leaves are swaying gently. People are there. Such a beautiful scenery, you will be drunk even if you don’t have wine.

In fact, Liu Xiu was still a little sorry for her. When she returned from Wanhua City, it was not early spring and she was not suitable for planting flowers and plants. Otherwise, buying various flower species in Wanhua City would make the environment here more beautiful.

Although his condensed blue water droplets may be able to give birth to flowers and plants, that thing is not something that can be condensed just by trying to condense. It’s okay to condense one or two dozen drops a day, but if you have too many, your head will hurt.

This phenomenon, Liu Xiu guessed, should be related to his mental power. The blue water droplets are not obtained out of thin air, but their own consciousness communicates with the world to pull some vitality to condense the blue water droplets. If the mental power is consumed too much, it will cause headaches.

Let's wait for the next year, here you will surely be full of mountains and flowers.

When he was free, Liu Xiu waved his hand gently. The black clothes that had been torn off the woman he almost caught fell into his hands. He didn't want to do something indescribable with that dress, but was purely curious about the material of the dress.

"It is not a fabric made of some kind of silk thread in the ordinary sense, it is soft and thin, and it is more like a kind of leather. The whole clothes are one, and there is no sewing place. What kind of leather can be so thin and soft? What is commendable is that there is no trace of sewing in this dress, which is so skillful." Liu Xiu muttered in his mouth after looking at the black clothes in his hand over and over.

He pulled it hard, unless he tried his best, he would not be able to hurt the clothes at all. Curiously, Liu Xiu burned it with fire and cut it with a knife...

After some experiments, this dress can be said to be invincible!

"Even the clothes you are wearing are worthy of treasures. Who is that woman?" Liu Xiu couldn't help but start to think about the other party's identity again.

There is too little information to understand.

But then again, what is that woman trying to do? Liu Xiu may not be able to do anything to the other party if she appears in front of her with such a skill, but the other party ran away as soon as she meets her, which is really puzzling.

Could it be that he is simply voyeurism?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu felt chills, as if there were eyes looking at him in the dark. Usually, men were peeping at women. Now the situation was reversed, and Liu Xiu was uncomfortable all over.

I'm sure I don't want to think so much. If the other party appears again next time, I won't chase you. I just talk to her to see if the other party will stay and talk. This land is not my own. It's amazing that she found a place to set up a room by herself. It doesn't matter if she helps him with that...

The troubles from the outside cannot disturb the mountains, and Liu Xiu's life is leisurely and contented.

Next, he spent some leisurely life and only read books, fishing and fishing to pass the time. The dark shadow woman never appeared again. Maybe she would meet her by chance in the future.

The neighbors are still the same. They will appear in the lake at night when the weather is good, facing the moon and practicing. They usually stay at the bottom of the water and cannot come out. Even if Liu Xiu built a water pavilion on the lake, it would have no sign of it.

The weather is hot, and mosquitoes are inevitably breeding in the mountains. Although mosquitoes cannot absorb Liu Xiu's blood because of their skin being too thick, it is also annoying to buzz. For this reason, Liu Xiu also spent some time making mosquito coils by himself.

The main materials of mosquito coils are still mugwort and charcoal. However, the mosquito coils made by Liu Xiu themselves added sandalwood found in the forest, which has a little calming effect after ignition.

Liu Xiu made a thousand mosquito coils like this, and this year it was enough.

After spending such a leisurely month, I read books, drink tea and play the erhu in my spare time. Sometimes Liu Xiu would take a few days to collect medicinal materials in the mountains. In this way, time came to midsummer without realizing it.

Then, Liu Xiu began a new round of busyness.

As the crops grown are ripe, he has to prepare for the harvest.

After harvesting sweet potatoes, you must dig a cool and dry cellar to store them, otherwise they will be prone to rot. Chili, rice, beans, peanuts, etc. also need to be dried. There is no flat cement floor in the mountains, so you have to wove some drying mats that are convenient for drying and harvesting. If you store them, you must also make some baskets and barns.

Especially for the rice in it, although Liu Xiu didn't plant too much, he couldn't collect and harvest it one by one with his hands, right? Anyway, he was idle, so he decided to build a man-driven rice threshing machine.

The structure of the rice threshing machine is not complicated. Liu Xiu used it at home when he was a child. He can remember the details after a little recollection. It should not be difficult to make it after figuring out for a while.

The cabin, baffle, drum with n-shaped iron nails, two-to-one large and small gears, and foot-mounted pedals. The structure of the rice threshing machine is roughly the same. You can run it with a little lever and inertia.

The most difficult thing to do is two pairs of gears. You can imagine how difficult it is to make it without a lathe. The size of the gears, the connection between each other, etc. It took Liu Xiu ten days to build two pairs of gears, and then he decisively gave up when he saw the finished product made.

Just the two pairs of gears he knocked out with a hammer. If they were installed on the rice threshing machine, the entire threshing machine might be disbanded in just a few strokes...

There was no other way. As a last resort, Liu Xiu had to draw the drawings and come to Qingliu Town. He found out that an old-fashioned blacksmith shop entrusted the other party to help build it.

The professional one is professional. The other party stretched out three fingers and said that only thirty silver coins would be available in two days. Then Liu Xiu would pay the money to leave.

He had no doubt that the blacksmith shop could create a gear that satisfies himself. The wisdom of the working people was infinite, and that people were eating the rice.

As for basket drying mats, this is not difficult for Liu Xiu. After all, he has had such a long experience as a bamboo carpenter, and he has made a lot of them in just a few days.

Two days later, Liu Xiu went to Qingliu Town to get two pairs of gears, one big and one small, and was quite satisfied. He was really curious about how the blacksmith built it without precision instruments, but when he asked, he smiled but said nothing.

Well, Liu Xiu didn't ask about his ability to eat.

After returning to the mountain, the gears were installed on the rice threshing machine. The conditions were limited and the edible animal oil could only be used as lubricant. After fiddling for a few times, the rice threshing machine was running well.

I clapped my hands and everything is ready now just for the crop to mature.
Chapter completed!
