Chapter 291 A Spark
Douluo calendar year 2613, mid-April.
[Kingdom of Barak], in the center of Lima Plain, more than 20 miles south of "Soto City".
The scorching sun in the sky makes the young and old in Suanzao Village listless, just mechanically busy with the work at hand.
Jujube Village is one of the most inconspicuous among the hundreds of ordinary villages around Soto City and even in the entire Lima Plain.
Next to the small square in the center of the village, in front of a stone house, stands a stone tablet about two meters high.
Looking at the quality of the stone, this stone monument is very new, at least much newer than the stone house at the back that looks quite a few years old.
When the sun in the sky was tilted and the temperature seemed not so hot, many restless monkeys came to this small square one by one and started playing.
Among the dozen teenagers and children, there are two figures that stand out from the rest.
I saw two boys, about ten years old, standing in front of the stone tablet, each holding a hoe, sometimes raising it high, sometimes swinging it down hard, turning the ground in front of them up by a large amount. A lump of mud.
It lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and perhaps they were tired. The two of them held the hoes in their hands, panting, and looked up at the stone tablet.
It can be seen that there are three rows of patterns carved on the stone tablet. Each row has three human figures in different postures, and there is a text next to it, which can be said to be rich in pictures and text.
The top row of humanoid figures holds a slender hoe-like tool, the second row of tools looks like a sickle, and the third row has an axe.
"Huhu——"
Yu Si took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, turned to the program beside him and said: "Brother Xu , after practicing this 'hoe swing', can it really strengthen our body? ”
The program bent down and picked up the water hyacinth at his feet, pulled out the stopper, raised his head and drank some water to moisten his smoky throat, looked up at the stone tablet in front of him, and whispered: "It should be okay, some time ago Didn't the deacon who came to the village to help Zhan Wa and Er Ni awaken their martial spirits, said that as long as they practiced the "Three Farmer's Styles" consistently, they could cultivate their bodies to a level comparable to that of a tenth-level soul warrior... ..."
"And, have you noticed that since we started practicing this 'swinging hoe', our appetite seems to have increased..."
"Uh~"
Yu Si scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xu, you know me. Ever since I was a child, my appetite has never been small. I don't have enough to eat every day. Has my appetite increased recently? "It's up, I really didn't pay attention."
"Don't worry~" The program shook his head and comforted his friends: "The deacon said that as long as we change to "Blue Silver" at the end of the month. "Rice", when harvested in early September, the yield is enough for all of us to eat until the next harvest. ”
"But," Yu Si pursed his lips, with a hesitant look on his face, and said calmly: "My father and uncle are a little unsure about that "blue silver rice". If we really change the crop, the harvest will be worse. If it's not as high as it used to be, that would be terrible! ”
The program opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end. He knew that this was not just what Yu Si’s family thought. At this moment, more than 80% of the families in the entire Jujube Village actually had the same views as Yu Si’s. Homesickness is almost the same.
On the one hand, they have great expectations for what the deacon of [Martial Soul Palace] said; but on the other hand, everyone is worried that if the deacon makes a mistake, Then they will have problems eating in the second half of the year and next year. Although Suanzao Village is located in the Lima Plain, and the "Soto City" next to it is known as the "Barak Granary", and every household has a certain amount of food storage, but there is a saying. It's called 'Young boy, eat me to death'. These ordinary teenagers who have not awakened their innate soul power have begun to work in the fields. The result of hard physical labor every day is that they are very good at eating!
Except! The taxes paid, excluding the new grain purchased by the merchants in the city, each family has countless grain reserves left.
Part of it is used as food for the next season, and people are starving to death and dare not touch it. The rest is eaten less.
After pondering for a moment, the program took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the clumsy stone tablet, looked at the simple but extremely expressive character graphics, and said slowly: "Don't worry, practice this wave. Whether the hoe style can strengthen the body, whether the body can reach the tenth level after completing the "Farmer's Three Styles", it is really hard to say now. "
"But!" said the programmer with a stern look. He said firmly: "This 'swinging hoe' method can increase the efficiency of our land plowing. This is certain!"
"The big deal is that we will cultivate some new land further away. Plant the original grain seeds too!”
“According to the wonders of the ‘hoe swinging’ style, the subsequent ‘scythe swinging’ style will definitely not be any worse for harvesting.”< br>
“If the plowing of the ground and the final harvest can be accelerated, even if the harvest of the ‘Blue Silver Rice’ is indeed not ideal, our final harvest should not be worse than before! ”
Speaking of this, the program nodded vigorously to increase the persuasiveness of his words.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded between the two. A voice sounded from behind: "You two children, can you lend me the hoes in your hands?" "
"Huh? ! "*2
The program and Yu Si turned around subconsciously and looked at the person who suddenly made a sound and appeared suddenly.
This is a young man who looks to be in his early twenties and has a rather strong build. He has a very distinctive face, a slightly protruding chin, wide cheekbones, a flat face, and a slightly hooked nose. On this shoehorn-like face is wearing a pair of square black-rimmed crystal glasses. The eyes behind the lenses were one-third flying, one-third energetic, one-third curious, and one part unspeakably cunning.
Of course, the fan-shaped statistic look in his eyes, whether it was the program or Yu Si, could not be felt so clearly. The two of them just subconsciously felt that this person gave them an invisible sense of oppression. Unconsciously, you want to listen to what the other person says.
Yu Si next to him slowed down for a moment, and Program took the lead to lift the hoe he was holding and handed it to the young man with glasses: "Here."
"Thank you." The young man with glasses took it. , a smile appeared on his long and narrow face, and he nodded.
"No...it's nothing..." Programmer responded with a shy smile, raised his hand and pulled Yu Si, stepped back a few steps, and let out the stone tablet behind the two of them.
It was obvious that this young man with glasses who didn’t know where he came from was obviously interested in the ‘Hoe Swinging Style’ on the stone tablet, or the ‘Farmer’s Three Styles’.
I saw that the bespectacled young man raised his eyes and looked at the stone tablet in front of him, his eyes locked on the figures with pictures and texts, sometimes frowning, sometimes squinting, and sometimes showing a strange look on his face.
Not long after, after looking at all the graphics carefully, the bespectacled young man held the hoe in his hand and finally began to practice the 'hoe swing' in the top row.
Compared to Yu Si, who had already learned the procedure for less than half a month, the young man with glasses was practicing for the first time, and his movements were slightly stiff. But just looking at the momentum generated by the hoe in his hand, as well as the hoe blade cutting into the ground and then turning up a large ball of mud, it can be seen that the opponent's power is quite strong!
Continue coding, the next chapter should be before zero o'clock.
In addition, everyone should be able to guess the identity of this young man with glasses, right? Very simple~
