Chapter 0238 – Feng Shui Patterns, Countryside Wildness

There is no noise of the city’s work crowd. There is no hissing sound of traffic, there is no that steel cage in the hot sun under the steam baked out of the heat, the countryside in the early morning, the breeze, the distant village smoke rising, and occasionally out of a few chickens and dogs barking, so that people have a kind of ink into the ink landscape painting in the feeling.

The white lion is also excited at the moment, around Zhuang Rui before and after the fast running, its posture is very elegant, even in running, the large head is also high up, like a noble king overlooking his territory in general, from time to time to meet a few dogs, after seeing the white lion, have clamped up their tails, hiding in the roadside shivering.

Shaanxi less water and more drought, but a branch of the Wei River just through this small village, the distant mountains rise and fall, like a dancing dragon extends to the edge of the village, very vivid, curved Wei River water. Like a jade belt like from Zhuang Rui eyes gently floating through, and then slowly flow east.

Zhuang Rui this period of time to read the book, mainly to the ancient Chinese language and Chinese geography, but also mixed with some of the treatises on feng shui, in his eyes, the feng shui of this place seems to be in line with some of the remarks in the book.

The mountains in the distance show the shape of a ring, but also by the Wei Shui River pocket wrapped, become the “water embracing frame” and its north-west has a continuous mountain range, blocking the north-west winds blowing from the direction of Gansu, which in turn formed the “ring of mountains frame”.

Although Zhuang Rui Feng Shui study is not deep, but also can see, this is really a “mountains around the water” Feng Shui geography treasure. It is a feng shui geography pattern of wealth and prosperity, according to the book, such a place, there will definitely be the tombs of the emperors and generals, no wonder Lao San said that there is a scientific research team here just now.

“Big brother Zhuang, you sit down, er (I) go to pick a watermelon for you to go, the watermelons of our family, they are all sand-fleshed, big and sweet ……”

Without realizing it, Zhuang Rui and Ermao, who was leading the way, had already arrived at Lao San’s family’s melon field, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was full of melon vines, underneath the thick and flourishing leaves. You can see a round watermelon.

In the melon field near the edge of the dirt road, built a thatched hut, inside there is a bamboo bed, should be the night watchman live, Ermao is to let Zhuang Rui first sit on the bed, he ran to the ground to pick watermelon.

“Hm? Where’s the white lion?”

Zhuang Rui didn’t stay in the shed, but followed Ermao and carefully walked into the melon field, when he turned around, he realized that the White Lion had disappeared.

When Zhuang Rui was about to shout up, the white lion ran over from the distance, like a white lightning, just entered the line of sight in a few seconds, and scurried to Zhuang Rui’s body.

What surprised Zhuang Rui was that the white lion actually had a fat rabbit in its mouth, like inviting credit, the white lion put the rabbit in front of Zhuang Rui, and its big head rubbed vigorously against Zhuang Rui’s body, and almost didn’t wipe the blood around its mouth onto Zhuang Rui’s clothes.

“Brother Zhuang, this big dog of yours is so powerful! The rabbits here are usually at the edge of the nest. It’s hard to catch, and I’m afraid that the wild boars in the mountains can’t compete with this big dog of yours ……”

Ermao exclaimed when he saw the rabbit that weighed five or six pounds, and looked at Zhuang Rui with envy, for the children who had been in the countryside for a long time, being able to have a powerful hunting dog was a very imposing thing.

Zhuang Rui bent down, picked up the dead rabbit and took a look, the rabbit’s body was completely bitten through by the white lion, revealing a few bloody holes in front and back, and casually handed it to Ermao, saying, “Brother Ermao, turn around and bring this rabbit back, it’s also a good dish!”

The reason why Zhuang Rui picked up the rabbit first, that’s because Zhuang Rui knew that the white lion would never allow Ermao to reach out and take its prey, if Ermao had this action before, I’m afraid that the white lion would have already pounced on him, of course, without Zhuang Rui’s order, he would not bite.

Ermao took the rabbit and happily ran towards the shed.

Zhuang Rui dotingly patted the white lion’s big head, touched an apple from his pocket, pulled it out, and then threw it vigorously into the distance, the white lion did not wait for the command, scurried out like a lightning bolt, and when the apple hadn’t even landed. On the air with the mouth to catch, a upside down ran back, just sent to Zhuang Rui hand heart, only one apple core left.

Looking at the white lion beside him, Zhuang Rui’s heart flooded with a very odd feeling, which if placed in the past, he would certainly be treated by others as the kind of dude who drives dogs to simmer eagles.

“Brother Zhuang, come eat watermelon!”

Ermao picked a big watermelon of more than ten kilograms after patting the melon field in the east and knocking in the west, and carried it to the shed with great effort, and greeted Zhuang Rui.

“If we take this melon back to the village and put it in the well at the head of the village to soak it for a few hours, it will be a pleasure to eat!”

Ermao spoke while using the watermelon knife in the shed, broke the melon open, this melon is ripe, a knife down before cutting down, the whole watermelon split, juice flowed all over the place.

“Well, delicious, Ermao, how do you know this melon is cooked?”

Zhuang Rui complimented as he ate. This melon is sandy-fleshed, biting into the inside of the mouth, a sweetness straight into the heart, Zhuang Rui used to see other people buy watermelon, have to knock on a few times, when he bought himself, he also learns from other people to knock on, but what are the precepts are completely unknown, it’s just in response to the scene.

Turning his face to see the white lion’s eyes are looking at himself, Zhuang Rui hurriedly cut the other half of the watermelon, placed on the ground, more than ten kilograms of watermelon. Even if it was half, he and Ermao couldn’t eat it.

Ermao nibbled on the watermelon, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said vaguely, “Brother Zhuang, this watermelon is played with your hand, if it makes a ‘poof’ sound, it’s ripe, and if you don’t eat it again it’s going to be bad, and the ‘bang bang’ sound of it Is ripe melon, but can also be put a few days, if the ‘dangdang’ sound, that is not yet ripe, you buy watermelon in the future, guaranteed right.”

Come to this quiet countryside, Zhuang Rui seems to return to childhood, after eating a piece of watermelon, drilled into the melon field, according to what Ermao said, knocked up one by one, playing is not happy, thinking, learned this hand, we will never buy a raw melon again.

“Roar!”

Is playing happily, Zhuang Rui ears suddenly came the white lion’s roar, immediately will Zhuang Rui startled, and quickly stood up, he knows the white lion never bark, now this sound, already represents the white lion extreme anger.

Looking at the sound, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, the white lion was just four or five meters away from him, using its claws to pick and scratch a hedgehog in the melon field.

This should be an adult hedgehog, gray body, the body of the burrs have completely exploded, shrunk into a ball, curled up on the ground motionless. The white lion seemed to have suffered a bit of a loss, from time to time, he used his claws to fiddle with it, and after being stabbed by the thorns, he hastily took a few more steps back.

Seeing Zhuang Rui come over, the white lion no longer go forward, but at the hedgehog can not stop the low roar, it is estimated that it is also very helpless, for this body is covered with thorns of the guy, it is simply a dog biting the hedgehog, there is no way to get off the mouth, just now did not pay attention to, a bite bite on the mouth, the mouth but the zapped not light.

“Big brother Zhuang, let your big dog back a little bit, er come to catch it, this thing can be bad, often steal the melons of the amount of people to eat, and also specialize in picking a big one.”

Ermao also followed the sound and ran over, saw that it was a hedgehog, instantly both eyes glowing, out of the blue let Zhuang Rui control the white lion, but he himself turned around and ran towards the shed.

Zhuang Rui also wanted to see how he caught the hedgehog, so he called the white lion back, the hedgehog could feel the threat of the white lion, still curled up and did not move.

Ermao came out of the shed with an extra broken sack and stick in his hand, walked to the hedgehog, opened the sack, and used the stick to pluck the hedgehog that didn’t dare to move in, and watched Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded, he thought it was so difficult to catch it, but it was so simple.

“Brother Zhuang, this hedgehog meat can be delicious, more flavorful than rabbit meat, I’ll let sister-in-law Changfa make it for you to eat at night.”

Caught the hedgehog, Ermao is very excited, after tying the mouth of the sack, carry in the hand can’t stop flinging.

Zhuang Rui listened to waved his hand, although he is meatless, but for this animal full of fried thorns, or avoid.

Zhuang Rui in the melon play for a while, remembered the old three said the scientific research team, some curiosity in the heart, in the wild scientific research, nine times out of ten is the cultural relics of archaeology or excavation of ancient tombs, so on the two hairs said: “two hairs brother, that scientific research team in what place ah? Let’s go and have a look!”

“It’s not far from here, here, over that small mountain beam is it, er take you there.”

Ermao is Liu Changfa’s little cousin, today’s task is to accompany Zhuang Rui, he is also very happy to follow Zhuang Rui, first he got a rabbit, then he caught a hedgehog, now he can return to the village, he can brag about it to his little friends.

“Ermao, why are you picking watermelon again? I really can’t eat it anymore!”

Just now that small half piece of watermelon, all eat Zhuang Rui stomach to hold up hard, now see Ermao squatting there again picking up watermelon, quickly walk over to stop, although this is not worth a few money, also can not waste is not.

“Brother Zhuang, there is my sister-in-law working over there, I’ll bring a watermelon over for them to eat.”

Ermao didn’t look up, skillfully picked off a watermelon and hugged it in his arms, his hands still gripping the pocket with the hedgehog in it.

“Work? What kind of work? Isn’t it a scientific research team? How do I want you guys to work?”

Zhuang Rui listened to some inexplicable, work also need to find men ah! Listen to the meaning of Ermao’s words, it seems that women are still working.

“Help them dig pits, fifty dollars a day it, I also went to work for a day, but the next day do not want men to do it, it is all the old ladies in the village there.”

Ermao seemed to be a bit dissatisfied, for them little kids, they didn’t have the chance to see fifty dollars all year round! He asked himself but he was stronger than those old ladies.
