Chapter 011 The Water of the Tianhe
Bai Yuqi curiously poked her head into her pocket.
In addition to some unnamed grains, there was actually a smelly salted fish and a small strip of black dried meat.
Well, Bai Yuqi has lost hope in the concept of so-called "delicious food" in this dynasty.
Yang Tieniu, a middle-aged man with a scarred face, was a hunter, so he sent a clean and naked rabbit, as well as some coarse cloth and other miscellaneous things.
The young man Yang Xiaoshan picked up a load of firewood and diligently delivered it to the small firewood shed made of thatch in the corner of the yard.
"Kushui Village is really poor, so the villagers collected a little bit of money to offer sacrifices."
Lao Cunzheng pointed to the things sent and said: "I hope you don't dislike it!"
In fact, the villagers sent some things yesterday, but they probably had some doubts about Bai Yuqi, the "immortal".
No one was rich, so they tried to help Yang Zhao, an orphaned mother and a widowed daughter, through some means.
As a result, Bai Yuqi showed off her magical powers in the middle of the night and showed off several "immortal arts", which immediately shocked the villagers.
After the villagers who had received his "blessing" returned, they quickly collected some food and sent it to them. Although it was not much, it was the limit of what they could bring out.
"The old villager is thanking the villagers for me."
Bai Yuqi nodded politely to Lao Cunzheng and thanked him.
"The villagers originally wanted to deliver it in person, but they were worried that the villagers in the mountains would be rude and ignorant and disturb the real people's Qingxiu."
The old man waved his hands in fear: "The old man collected a piece of it on behalf of the real person and sent it to him. The real person doesn't blame us for the shabby worship in Kushui Village."
In order to maintain the image of a "god", Bai Yuqi could only nod her head in an airy manner, not being too polite to Muramasa and the others.
As for saying that a person with a pure heart and ascetic desires does not need to be worshiped by the villagers... he is not a true immortal who can eat the wind and drink the dew.
With his current condition of short arms and legs, how could Yang Zhao, an orphan and a widowed mother, support him and his little girl?
"Mother Zhao, I'll help you carry some water!"
After putting down the firewood, Yang Xiaoshan happily greeted Mr. Yang Zhao with a silly smile and went straight to the bucket next to the water tank.
Bai Yuqi glanced at this guy, then at Yang Zhaoshi, and curled her lips secretly, this guy has an impure mind!
The little girl is only a few months old. How long has it been since Ms. Yang Zhao was widowed?
If it weren't for the help of Lao Wang next door, in theory, Yang Shisan would have been killed in the battle for less than a year, and this kid would actually start to have ideas for the Yang Zhao family?
The most important thing is that I have just accepted my adoptive mother. Do you want to be the godfather of this god?
However, it is understandable that Yang Xiaoshan would be obsessed with Yang Zhao.
There are a total of 20 or 30 households in Kushui Village, and based on an average of five people per household, there are only over 100 households.
However, in the Zhenguan era of the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty suffered from frequent external and internal troubles and wars. Most adult men were drafted, but not many came back alive.
Just like Yang Shisan, a man from the Yang Zhao family, he was drafted to an unknown battlefield just after getting married, and he never returned. Fortunately, before leaving, he relied on his youth and strong firepower, and the one who hit the target stayed behind.
It can be regarded as cutting off the bloodline.
Therefore, most of the hundreds of people left in Kushui Village are old and weak, and there are almost no young people in sight.
There are even fewer children. Otherwise, if a god appeared in the village, wouldn't the naughty children come around to watch the fun?
Judging from the short period of contact, the 20 or 30 villagers who came last night should be the main labor force of Kushui Village, and the others are old, weak, women and children.
In addition, Kushui Village is located deep in the mountains, and the fields are sparse and barren. Every family is so poor that they wish they had no pants to wear.
Therefore, although there were more boys and girls in the early Tang Dynasty due to wars.
But Kushui Village is still full of old bachelors, middle-aged bachelors, and young bachelors, and no woman is willing to marry into this miserable village.
Yang Shisan still relied on his status as a soldier to deceive a daughter-in-law from outside the mountain with rewards for his military exploits. How could the bachelors in the village not miss his family's thin land now that he was here?
If it weren't for the fact that everyone in Kushui Village was a relative of the Yang family, and they were not good-looking and ugly, Lao Wang would have come to bully his wife and beat his baby.
"Huh? Is the water tank full?"
Yang Xiaoshan said angrily as if he had been robbed of a benefit: "Well, when I left just now, I saw that it was still empty."
"That...that is the fairy water created by the little immortal using his magic!"
Mrs. Yang Zhao quickly brought a ladle of water, brought it to the front of the old village, and said happily: "Old patriarch, drink the water! It's so sweet!"
Fairy water?
Bai Yuqi was speechless. What was condensed by the [Water Making Technique] was just ordinary water. It had no special effects. It was just pure water that was very clean and could be drank directly.
But Old Muramasa and Yang Tieniu's eyes lit up.
Yang Xiaoshan and Yang Gouzi stared eagerly at the water ladle in Yang Zhao's hand.
Lao Cunzheng quickly took the gourd and took a careful sip. His eyes suddenly widened. Then he raised his neck boldly and drained the gourd of water!
"Ha~~ It is indeed the fairy water summoned by the immortal magic. This must be the water of the Milky Way in the upper world, right?"
Lao Cun, who had taken a gulp of water in one breath, took a deep breath and wiped the water drops on his goatee and said: "It's really sweet and cold. Drinking it will refresh your mind and open your heart!"
Bai Yuqi was stunned. Is it really okay for an old man like you to use a gourd and gourd as big as a human head to fill your stomach with cold water early in the morning?
It's still a bit cold in the early summer morning, and I'm hungry. I don't want to drink cold water because I'm afraid of getting sick.
So Bai Yuqi himself had never actually drank the water condensed using the [Water Making Technique]. Seeing the old man drink so heartily, he became greedy for it. Is it really that delicious?
Curiously, he used the [Water Making Technique] to condense a ball of water and took a sip. He frowned and smacked his mouth, and poured the rest on the ground. He said strangely: "Isn't this just the taste of cold water? What are you doing?
Is it a bit sweet to drink Nongfu Spring?"
Originally, I was very surprised that Bai Yuqi used "immortal magic" to summon the "water of the Milky Way".
It can be seen that Bai Yuqi poured the "fairy water" on the ground in a wasteful manner, and the old man's eyes made him feel distressed.
Yang Tieniu and the others couldn't hold back anymore. They grabbed the water ladle from the old village master and ran straight to the water tank.
The three people gathered around the water tank and drank heavily, shouting about how delicious it was while drinking.
I knew they were drinking water, but I didn't know they thought they were drinking some kind of fine wine. Moreover, it was not enough, so they kept pouring goblet after goblet into their stomachs.
It took Bai Yuqi a long time to fill up such a big water tank, but the water level dropped a lot when they drank from it. If you drink like this, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?
"Seriously, don't blame these country boys for being greedy."
