Chapter 243: The Baptism of My Son
The inside of the cave is like spring all year round, and compared to the heat outside, there is a gentle coolness.
Moreover, the air in the cave is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon gathered from the jasper saplings. Bringing the little one in has only advantages and no disadvantages, and it will definitely not freeze.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the cave, he was in great spirits, grinning, babbling and blowing bubbles in his mouth. He didn't even look at his father in Chen Ling's arms. Play with yourself.
Seeing this, Chen Ling wiped his saliva and said with a chuckle: "How is it, Ruirui, is this place good? You will be confused all of a sudden."
The inside of the cave is really nice. After the little guy came in, he breathed pure spiritual energy and was in great spirits. He wouldn't make any noise like usual for a while before falling asleep from exhaustion.
My son is less than two months old now. He can’t understand what he is saying, and he can’t see things too far away. However, he can still distinguish some smells. Chen Ling found that he is actually very interested in the fragrance of flowers and melons. I am very interested in the aroma of fruit.
In the cave, these smells are very good and strong. Whenever he passes by flowers and fruit trees, he grins happily. I don’t know if he is smiling, but he is babbling anyway. He kept moaning.
Especially when I walked to the flowers, my joy was very strong.
“Hey, you brat is still a nymphomaniac.”
Chen Ling teased him with a smile.
The little guy's mouth and chin were full of drool happily, and he was humming to himself.
Chen Ling wiped his saliva and teased him a few more times, then walked through the woods and flowers, crossed aqueducts and stone bridges, and wandered around.
"Go, go, go..."
Crossing the arch bridge and arriving at the stone pavilion and garden, Chen Ling waved his hand to drive away various birds nearby, as well as groups of birds in the garden. bumble bee.
After he brought the swarm in last time, he divided it into the garden here and temporarily isolated it.
Later, the bee colony continued to grow and rapidly reproduced in the garden. After dividing into groups several times, Chen Ling removed the invisible gaps.
Now bees can move around and birds can fly in.
However, the bee swarm next to the garden was the largest. After Chen Ling came over, he waved his hand to isolate the dark swarm, then took some honey from the honeycomb and smeared it on his son's mouth.
Feeling the sweet aroma, the little guy smacked his lips for a while and quickly ate all the honey.
Then there was another indistinct cry of "Eah, Eah", indicating that he still wanted to eat.
But Chen Ling didn’t want to give it to him anymore, so he stuffed the rest into his mouth.
When the honey enters the mouth, a refreshing sweetness melts in the mouth. There is a rustling feeling in the viscosity. With a slight sip of the tongue, the floral fragrance of the honey comes out in the mouth. The fragrance is long and the sweetness is intoxicating. , really rare and good honey.
"Do you still want to eat Ruirui, eh? Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, I will wait until you grow up."
Chen Ling smiled and reached out to play with his little lips, but who knew Ruirui felt the sweetness on his hand, so she opened her mouth and sucked his finger for a while.
"Good guy, you're a stinky boy. Fortunately, you don't have teeth, otherwise I would bite your hand off with such force."
The more he said, the harder the little guy sucked, "Haha Haha, be obedient, you are still old enough to drink milk. If you want to eat honey, let’s eat it later.”
The baby is too delicate, the body’s resistance is not enough, and the gastrointestinal function is relatively weak. In fact, it is within one year old. , you cannot eat honey.
Because honey is not absolutely clean and hygienic during the collection process.
If it carries bacteria, it will cause harm to the baby's gastrointestinal tract.
But if you are inside the cave, there is no need to worry about this.
And it’s okay for Chen Ling to use his fingers.
Because entering the cave from the outside world, the interaction between the inside and outside will cleanse the body of bacteria and viruses, or isolate it from the outside. Chen Ling discovered this very early, so he is not worried.
“Let’s go and play something else with you.”
Chen Ling withdrew her fingers, hugged her son and walked to the small jasper tree, looking at the dewdrops on the jasper-colored leaves. Roll down and listen to the clear and sweet sound of the dewdrops on the leaves falling into the pool.
Maybe this place is really different. Ruirui couldn't eat the honey, so he was going to cry, but after Chen Ling carried him here, he magically calmed down.
Seeing this, Chen Ling smiled at the little guy in his arms and waved his hand to summon a wooden basin: "Come on, I'll give you a luxurious one for you brat."
Then he gently The son was placed in a clean open space next to the pool, and he filled most of the basin with the spiritual water from the source of the creek. At the same time, he allowed the spiritual water to become a suitable temperature. Then he carefully took off his son's clothes and put him into the wooden basin. , bathe him with spiritual water.
In fact, until now, Chen Ling has not fully understood the specific function of Dongtian Spiritual Water. He always feels that his current use of the spiritual water is still far behind.
But the spirit water is undoubtedly a good thing. As soon as I put the little guy in, he grinned happily, moved his little hands and feet lightly, and even the humming sound from his mouth sounded like It's the satisfying hum you make when drinking milk.
"Hey, are you happy now?"
Chen Ling scratched his son's white and tender soles, stretched out his hand to pour water for him to wash his body, and washed every part of his body except his little head. The little guy was so happy that he kept humming "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
After washing, Chen Ling attracted a gentle warm breeze and gently blew his son's body dry.
Then he went to fetch two drops of dew from the leaves of the jasper tree, fed it to his son's mouth, made the little boy squint his eyes in comfort, and kept smacking his little mouth.
"Grow up quickly, little brat, daddy has all the good things waiting for you."
Chen Ling looked at his son, smiled softly, and then put on his clothes.
A small amount of ordinary spiritual water in the stream can make Heiwa Xiaojin open his eyes from the cub state when he was a child.
But after drinking two drops of the pure spiritual dew from the small tree, even the impurities did not come out of Ruirui's body. Just holding him in his arms, he could feel his little body getting stronger and stronger.
This is the difference in the effects of spiritual water on humans, animals and plants.
It is completely different when used on humans and animals and plants.
On the one hand, people are wise.
On the other hand, human bodies have completely different constitutions and potentials, including lifespan.
For example, let’s take dogs. As the old saying goes, when a person spends one year, a dog grows seven years.
It means that when a dog is one year old, it is equivalent to about seven years old in humans. Their life is shorter than that of humans, they grow faster and age faster.
So when spiritual water is used on different species, the effects will naturally be unequal.
It is not as obvious to use it on humans as it is on animals and plants.
......
Ke Ling Lu is spiritual dew after all. Although the energy it contains is mild, after Ruirui drank two drops, she soon stopped crying and fell asleep. , I guess it takes a while to digest.
Chen Ling carried him out of the cave, tidied up the room at home, opened the doors and windows for ventilation, lit matchsticks and smoked out mosquitoes.
Wang Susu came over with dinner in the evening. After he had eaten, the young couple took a cold bath and stayed at home comfortably for the night. They did not return to the farm that night.
In the next few days, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan may also come to their senses. They were afraid of affecting the life of the young couple, so they moved Wang Zhenzhen from the farm back to the village. Then they got up every morning and took the cows to the farm, and then came over to help with various miscellaneous chores, and went back at night.
The second elder’s behavior made Wang Susu shy for several days.
Chen Ling didn't feel anything at all, and still played around with his son carelessly.
After Ruirui traveled to the cave and was baptized by spiritual water and spiritual dew, he was very energetic every day. The little boy was less than two months old. Ordinary little kids were still eating and sleeping, but he But he was already crying, and Chen Ling couldn't do anything without holding him for a walk every day.
This is not a bad thing, it means that the little guy grows up faster than his peers.
Chen Ling looked forward to him growing up quickly, so he took care of the baby, picked up eggs, and walked around every day.
When the baby goes to bed and he feels bored, he writes letters to various writers in the newspaper, or takes the dog back and forth on the mountain to drive away the various small beasts that are attracted to him. Entering the cave is like playing games, grafting and crossing various fruit trees with each other, messing around.
There are many operations that go against common sense and make professionals frown when they see them, but in the magical Sun and Moon Cave, they actually make some results by messing around.
A few days passed. In the morning, Chen Ling was preparing to go to the county town to sell eggs. Liang Yuemin and his son came over early in the morning. They had bought ginseng seeds and delivered them to him.
Not only did they bring ginseng seeds, but the father and son also brought two oxen, one large and one small, to him for herding.
"No...Uncle Qin, Brother Yuemin, when did you buy the cow?"
Chen Ling went over to take a look. The big cow Qin Rong led first was a cow, and there was a half-cow following him. The big calf is next to Liang Yuemin, also tied with a rope.
It looks like it’s a mother and son.
“I just bought it yesterday.” Liang Yuemin said: “When I came back from the city, I encountered a county that wanted to kill a cow. The old cow knelt down and shed tears, and the calf followed suit. They kept barking while holding the reins, and we looked pitiful, so we bought them together.”
At this point, he smiled and sighed: "We have been very interested in your little white cow for a long time. It just so happened that Xiao Ming was also clamoring to buy a cow. It was fate this time that we met such a spiritual cow. Again, The one who shed tears is the one who knelt down.”
Chen Ling was speechless and thought: Your family likes to talk about fate, but the spirituality of an animal cannot be determined by its behavior when it is slaughtered. .
In fact, most animals are humane. As the old saying goes: "The pig is a bag of straw, the sheep is a hero, and the cow has tears in its eyes."
The cow is slaughtered or sold. Tears and kneeling are common reactions.
However, it is one thing to think this way in your heart, but if you really encounter the slaughter of a cow, Chen Ling feels that he may not be able to bear the scene.
Because they kill cows here with a hammer, cover the cow's eyes with black cloth, and use a hammer to crush the skull. It's extremely cruel when you think about it.
"Fugui, come and see, how about these two cows bought by the Yue people?"
Qin Rongxian smiled and patted the cow's head: "Buy this big one and the small one. Anyone in the family who comes to him will leave immediately. He recognizes the person as soon as he comes and is very obedient.”
The old man commented enthusiastically to Chen Ling.
But Chen Lingxiang has not yet mastered the skills of cattle, and does not know how to distinguish the quality of cattle. From the appearance alone, the coat is smooth, which is still very good.
Not bad is good.
It’s just that Liang Yuemin made a bit of a loss.
I spent a lot of money to get the cow back.
In the mule and horse market, if you want to say what kind of cattle is the most popular, it is undoubtedly the half-grown calf.
This kind of calf has recently been weaned and is in its infancy. It grows up very quickly. You can see the benefits after buying it and feeding it for a few months.
Moreover, the cows that have been raised since childhood are obedient and loyal enough. If they are not killed or sold, they will work smoothly.
Cows are different. They only give birth to one calf in a year and a half. Moreover, the skeleton is formed and the growth rate is slow. Buying it back is equivalent to feeding it for half a year.
Furthermore, I don’t know if there is anything wrong with the slaughtered cow that I bought on the way. After all, I don’t feel as safe as a calf.
But Qin Rong asked first, and he followed suit and said, "It's pretty good. Animals have to be obedient, and this calf is pretty good-looking too."
"Haha, whatever you think is fine, The Yue people and I came here. In addition to sending you ginseng seeds, we also asked you to let the cows live with you for two days. The Yue people hurriedly bought the cows back. They didn't build a cowshed for the cows at home. "Qin Rongxian smiled.
"Oh, we haven't built a cowshed yet, so let's raise them here for two days first. I have a lot of grass and a big place for them to move around."
As he spoke, Chen Ling took the two of them back. to the farm.
First they tied the cow to the pillar outside the door, then the three of them walked into the farm and sat in the yard looking through ginseng seeds.
Ginseng seeds are shaped like kidney beans and broad beans, and have a very peculiar feel to the touch.
After taking a closer look, Chen Ling was quite satisfied, so he stored the seeds and chatted about ginseng planting for a while, before taking his father and son to arrange for cattle.
There are several livestock pens built at home. The two cows must have a place to live, and the environment is good. Staying here for two days has only advantages and no disadvantages.
"Leave them for a while, let them drink some water and eat grass."
Chen Ling said: "I just bought them yesterday, and they probably haven't recovered yet when they get to the birthplace." Calm down and let them wander around and calm down."
"Okay, Xiaobai, we are here to herd the cows. Why don't you call us to let them go for a while?"
< br>Liang Yuemin was in high spirits.
"Xiao Bai, I don't know where I am playing in the water. He has a very strange temperament and cannot play with strange animals. It is easy to cause conflicts if he is forced to come over."
Chen Ling shook his head, what he said was To be honest, their cattle are very bad-tempered, shy, introverted, petty-minded, and very vindictive, which means that their family does not expect to raise cattle and sell them for money. If an ordinary family encountered such cattle, they would probably not want to raise them.
However, although Xiaobai Niu has a lot of tempers, they are all when facing outsiders.
In front of him and Wang Susu, she was so well behaved that there was nothing to say.
“Oh, it is shy, I know.”
Liang Yuemin expressed his understanding, but at the same time he was envious. Cows with such a temper were really rare.
Then he said that he bought a house in the county town, not far from Lingyun Middle School. He would come back to live there when he was not busy.
The yard there is quite big and you can raise cattle.
When they are busy on weekdays, Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu can help herd cattle on the river embankment and in the woods in the county town, which is also good.
"The cowshed hasn't been built yet. Otherwise, your aunt and I would go out and graze the cows this morning and night while it's cool. It would be very comfortable." Qin Rongxian shook his head and said.
"The cowshed, the cowshed is very easy to build. I have a lot of building materials left at home. Just pull some over and build a shed."
Chen Ling disagreed, and then thought about what he had done today. Nothing can be done.
"By the way, I just have to go to the county fair today to sell eggs. After selling the eggs, I can help you build it in the afternoon. It's just a cowshed. Isn't it difficult to build?"
Listen He said it simply, and Qin Rongxian and his son didn't take it seriously.
After he finished selling eggs in the county seat, had dinner at Qin Rongxian's house at noon, and went to build a cowshed in his new home, Qin Rongxian and his son realized that this was not what they thought.
Isn't it quite simple? Why is it so tiring to do it?
But Chen Ling was here to help. He was working on it silently, building the wall with mud seriously, and the father and son just gritted their teeth and kept working.
Thanks to working at Chen Ling's house many times before, they have actually developed some strength. However, they are just used to being comfortable on weekdays, and their bodies are inherently lazy and reluctant to exert force, so they feel tired.
It will be much better after the event starts.
The three of them built a cowshed under the big tree in the south of the yard, piled brick walls, and erected purlins and rafters.
Later, a large livestock trough was brought over.
Liang Hongyu saw them busy at work and gave them water and food several times. She also brought the little fat man to help.
It was already dark after several people finished their work.
At this time, Liu Yinhuan came over and called them, saying that the food and wine had been prepared at home and they should quickly clean up and go back to eat.
“Mom, look, dad has become a mud monkey today.”
The little fat man pointed at Liang Yuemin with a smile, and then pointed at himself: "Me too, my father is a big mud monkey, and I am a little mud monkey."
"What about your grandfather?" Liang Hongyu asked.
"Grandpa?"
The little fat man rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Grandpa is the old mud monkey."
Made everyone laugh.
Liang Yuemin and Qin Rongxian were sweating non-stop today, and they were indeed a little dirty. However, the father and son felt a sense of accomplishment. They were still shouting about the glory of labor, saying that doing some physical work would make them sweat, and they would feel like they were sweating profusely. Very refreshing.
Chen Ling also felt refreshed. After working in a hot sweat, he took advantage of the cool breeze of the summer night to drink some cold beer and eat some snacks. Not to mention the taste.
The three of them were in high spirits today and drank a little too much. Especially when they heard Chen Ling say that it was too late to go back today and would stay overnight in the county seat, they drank heavily.
In the end, we continued drinking until after 11 o'clock in the evening. Chen Ling was still fine, but Liang Yuemin was almost drunk. He hugged Chen Ling's shoulders and cried and laughed, calling him a good brother and saying that he would Without him, this family would be completely ruined now.
This statement made Chen Ling very confused, wondering what your family's affairs have to do with me.
At this time, Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu took the little fat man to bed early, leaving only Liu Yinhuan guarding the two of them.
Hearing Liang Yuemin's words, Liu Yinhuan's expression changed, and she forced a smile and said: "Fugui, don't listen to his nonsense. He drinks too much and talks nonsense. This bad habit can never be changed."
Chen Ling also smiled when he heard this and said it didn't matter, everyone was the same after drinking too much. Then he helped Liang Yuemin up and sent him back to the room.
With a little doubt, he returned to his small courtyard in the south of the city to rest.
