Chapter 750 The Heart of the Fetal God (16)
When they arrived at the ranch, Dan Jin once again met the old herder who guided her here in Luoxue Town.
"Little girl, you're really here!"
"Well, you said this is good, so I'm here. I always have to find a place to make a living." Dan Jin said.
The old herder grinned, looking very happy, and turned his head to let his youngest son lead thirty of these thousands of sheep.
"Remember, pick a few stronger ewes for others, otherwise you would have to starve this little baby." The old herder even reminded.
Liu Sheng said "ah" in a silence, as a response, as a thank you, but avoided the other party's hand that reached out to tease his face.
Afterwards, Danjin heard the old herders chat for a few words and realized that the ranch of the Baicun public was run by their family.
"It's a pity that you can't share more for me..." The old herder sighed, "It's really tiring to keep in mind so many heads..."
Dan Jin nodded. The old herder looked like the sheep on his pasture, dry and thin, as if the wind was about to be blown away from the meadow.
"But I'm helpless, these sheep always come back to my hands..."
The old herder was talking, but Aji coughed twice.
"Old man Zhaxi, go and find a mule for Miss Liu. She also has to carry some grass back, so she can't move it." Aji turned around and said, "That mule was given to Miss Liu. I will give you the money when I turn around."
Dan Jin waved his hand quickly: "No, Brother Aji, I will give you how much money you should pay."
Liu Sheng, who was lying in Danjin's arms, raised his eyebrows.
【It seems that there is some inside story…】
The old herder Zhaxi, of course, obeyed the words of the young village chief and hurriedly ran to lead a thin mule over.
At this time, his youngest son also drove thirty sheep.
While the old and the young were carrying the forage, Dan Jin reached out and pinched the backs of the sheep one by one, and looked at their teeth and eyes.
Liu Sheng lay on her back and looked curiously. She was a Tang Dynasty man, so she naturally didn't understand these things.
Aji smiled and praised, "Sure enough, Miss Liu understands it, and she thought you were a Tangren, maybe she didn't understand it very much."
"I just said I've known it since I was a child." Dan Jin said dissatisfied with a small face.
Aji just smiled at this, obviously he had only regarded this as an excuse before.
However, it was true that Liu Sheng heard Dan Jin say that although the Tang people had moved to the grassland for a hundred years, they were really not proficient in these things, and most of them were mainly planting, doing business or being craftsmen.
Zhu Jiuqing is probably the descendant of such a Tang Dynasty craftsman.
"By the way, I have to cover this thing on the sheep pen at night, otherwise I won't care if I throw the sheep away."
The old herdsman came over and handed Danjin a bundle of oilcloth-like objects, with some strange patterns drawn with scarlet paint.
Dan Jin: "Is this?"
"This is what Master Baoquan asked the monks in the Ling Temple to paint for us herders, who are really good people! Thank you, Lord Baoquan! "The old herder said sincerely.
Master Baoquan heard that he was the master stationed here, and Bai Village and the surrounding villages were all under the protection of his spiritual temple.
Liu Sheng in his arms stretched out his little hand and gently touched the oil cloth. He seemed to wave his little hand inadvertently and flipped it a few times, revealing more patterns.
"Oh, this little baby is still interested in this. It seems to be the material for being a master!" The old herder became interested and praised with a smile.
Before Danjin could speak, Aji said first, "This is a girl."
The old herder was stunned for a moment, immediately restrained his smile, and said apologetically: "Sorry."
It is a recognized fact that a girl cannot become a master. Isn’t it a praising her like this that hurts people’s hearts?
However, Dan Jin seemed to be dissatisfied, and smiled at the child in his arms and said softly: "It doesn't matter, I think the old man makes sense."
The old herdsman and Aji looked at each other and understood in their hearts that they were indeed a little girl without father or mother. She had no knowledge and had no weight and no weight in her words, so there was no need to say more.
Everything was ready, so Aji accompanied Danjin to drive the sheep back.
When passing by the village chief's house, the old village chief was standing at the door with a cane. When he saw them coming, he shouted:
"Aji, remember to help the little girl fix the sheep pen, so that the air will leak out and throw the sheep away."
"I understand! Father!" Aji said with a grin.
But the old village chief sighed and said in a low voice: "What do you know, you don't know anything..."
Shaking his head, he turned around and returned to the house with a cane.
Bypassing the village chief’s house and walking through a fence covered with weeds, Danjin suddenly saw her eyes lit up. She bent down and picked a handful of weeds and stuffed them into her bag.
Aji smiled and said, "Miss Liu, do you still recognize these as edible?"
"Well, these are healing herbs, I... have done it in the pharmacy before, so I recognize it." Dan Jin replied softly.
Aji nodded and sighed, "Miss Liu, you are so knowledgeable."
Dan Jin smiled: "This is nothing."
At this time, she felt Liu Sheng in her arms suddenly pulling her sleeves. When he looked down, he saw Liu Sheng pointing at a small wooden house in the distance and making a few screams.
There are two big words written on the wooden house - "seed".
From a distance, there was a thin old lady sitting in front of the house, with a lot of baskets in front of her.
Aji suddenly realized.
"Oh, that's the seed mother-in-law from our Bai Village. The things she planted in the past were very erotic, but in recent years she was in poor health and could not plant anything anymore, so now she is selling seeds in the village."
"If you choose planting, I will take you to her."
Seeing that Liu Sheng was still staring at the wooden house, Dan Jin turned to Aji and said, "Please help me watch these sheep first, I'll take a look."
Aji was surprised: "You don't want to plant it, do you? The village will not bear the money anymore. Also, if you plant near the yurt, we don't care about you. If you want more land, you need to ask the village."
"Yeah, I understand." Dan Jin nodded.
"Of course, if you planted it yourself, if there is a harvest, the village will only harvest 10%." Aji smiled, "But I think it is unlikely. I advise you to give up this idea."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Dan Jin didn't take Aji's persuasion seriously.
It should make sense for the adults to say they want to go and have a look.
Following the stone road, the old lady sat in front of the door, guarding the baskets, and putting various seeds in different categories.
The old lady was very thin. At first glance, she looked like a mummy leaning against the door. If she hadn't seen a slight ups and downs in her chest, she would have thought she was already out of energy.
"Old lady, we want to buy seeds." Dan Jin walked over and spoke according to the adult's wishes.
The old lady still closed her eyes and seemed to hear it.
So Danjin shouted louder again: "Old lady! We want to buy seeds!"
The old lady then barely raised her heavy eyelids and said hoarsely, "Oh, oh, if you want to buy it, why bother so loudly?"
Dan Jin didn't argue with her, but just bought some barley, wheat, rapeseed, potatoes, radish and cabbage seeds based on Liu Sheng's short finger.
"However, I agreed in advance that the weather has been bad recently, and it is very difficult for seeds to germinate, so I have to take care of it carefully. You have to pay attention, don't blame me for the bad seeds if it doesn't grow."
Liu Sheng pinched the seeds with his pink little hands and nodded.
Dan Jin knew it and looked at it, saying, "No, old man, your seeds are full inside, dry on the outside and have no moldy smell, so they are well kept."
After hearing this, the old lady opened her teeth-free mouth and smiled: "You little baby still knows how to plant it?"
Dan Jin smiled slightly: "I used to being at home before, and my mother would take us to recognize seeds."
The old lady's eyes suddenly softened a little. She noticed that Dan Jin was talking about "the past". When she saw her looking alone with the little baby, she couldn't help but feel regretful: "Is this... your sister?"
"Yes." Dan Jin nodded.
The old lady stretched out her thin hand, touched the felt hat on Liu Sheng's head, and then took out three malt sugar from her arms and put it in Liu Sheng's small hand.
Liu Sheng yelled a few times.
"My sister said, thank you, old man." Dan Jin said with a smile.
"Good boy..." The old lady smiled and nodded.
Her smile gradually calmed down again, she sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "My granddaughter was so big when she went to the snow-capped mountains..."
"Have you gone to the snow-capped mountains?" Dan Jin was surprised.
Liu Sheng felt Dan Jin tighten his hand.
"Yes, that happened more than ten years ago. She should have cultivated a lot of blessings with her master."
A happy smile appeared on the old lady's face, but it was replaced by a hint of sadness.
"But... why haven't I come to see me, the old woman after so long? I clearly left a long life lock for her, and the place where Bai Village is engraved behind me. I have been waiting here for a while, why haven't I come yet?"
Dan Jin took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "She will come back, she will be back soon."
The old lady nodded, her expression seemed to be comforting.
"Of course, I just hope she can get faster, otherwise... I'm afraid I can't hold on..."
She leaned back to the door again, closed her eyes, gasped gently, and waved her hand to signal that they could leave.
Obviously I said I was tired and didn't want to say anything more.
Dan Jin also put the newly bought seeds into his bag, held Liu Sheng and turned to Aji who was impatiently waiting.
Liu Sheng lay on Dan Jin's shoulder and turned around to look at the old lady curled up on the steps. A faint sadness fell in her eyes.
Modify the number of sheep...try to be more reasonable
