rebirth of cataclysm

"Sister, let's go and take a look. We all have hoes in hand." As if he thought of something, Hu Mingchen's eyes lit up and he greeted excitedly as if he had an idea.

"There's nothing interesting about that. I've seen it countless times." Hu Yandie frowned, not being interested.

"It's not like I'm going to see their boring ceremony, I just want to get some money." Hu Mingchen said with a sly smile.

"Get some money? How do you get it?" Hu Yandie asked doubtfully.

"I'm telling you, you have to cooperate with me in a while. Once this is done, I will have the capital to do business..." So Hu Mingchen lowered his voice and told Hu Mingchen his idea.

Yandie and Hu Yujiao.

"Is this feasible? No one has ever done this before. I'm afraid it will cause trouble." After hearing Hu Mingchen's story, Hu Yandie expressed worry and doubt.

"It's okay. What are you afraid of? This is at the door of our home, and it is our home's land. What trouble can we cause? Don't worry, just do as I say. I will be responsible for anything that happens." Hu Mingchen patted his chest.

said.

"I still feel..."

"Don't think about it. Our family is so poor. What else is there to think about? Let's go. Let's go quickly. They are coming." Hu Mingchen interrupted Hu Yandie and pushed her away without giving her any room to hesitate.

I walked downstairs with my sister Hu Yujiao.

Today, a family surnamed Luo in Longjin Village invites people to come to the sacred tree to pray for blessings. Their elder passed away yesterday.

Several immediate family members of the family invited a gentleman and several flute makers to come from Longjin Village carrying scented wax paper candles.

When they were about to approach the sacred tree, they found three children digging around the sacred tree and sorting out the remnants burned by their predecessors.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't come in. We haven't dug yet, and you will step on us again." The leader, Luo's eldest son, was about to go down the path to the ground to get close to the sacred tree. A teenage boy

But the little boy shouted to stop him.

There is no doubt that the little boy who blocked people from going down to the fields was none other than Hu Mingchen.

"Little baby, what are you digging for?" the eldest son of the Luo family stopped and asked.

"Didn't you see? Of course it's digging. My land has been trampled like this. It's really difficult to dig. My family plans to dig it up and plant some peas." Hu Mingchen replied angrily, holding the hoe in his right hand.

Hu Mingchen was talking to the other party, but Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were not idle and kept digging nearby.

With the strength of Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao, it is simply impossible to completely turn over the trampled soil. When they hoe down, the depth is only one or two centimeters at most. It feels a bit like a worm shaking a tree. But at any rate, every time they hoe down

, can always bring some fresh soil.

"Little doll, can you stop digging now? Wait until we come down to burn some incense paper and say goodbye before you dig again."

"What are you thinking? We have finally dug so much. When you come down and finish paying homage, won't we step on it again? Aren't we working in vain? Moreover, by the time you finish, we will have wasted a whole morning. Forget it.

Forget it." Hu Mingchen shook his head, waved the hoe and started digging again.

"Really, you little kid, aren't you going to stop us from worshiping the sacred tree? This sacred tree belongs to your family?" A woman wearing a filial piety handkerchief stood up next to the eldest son of the Luo family and said in an unhappy tone.

"This sacred tree may or may not belong to my family, but this piece of land, without a doubt, belongs to my family. If you want to worship, we have no objection, as long as you don't come to my land."

The other party's tone was unhappy, and Hu Mingchen's tone also became unhappy.

"How can we worship if we don't go into the ground?"

"That's your business. You can also worship on the road. That road does not belong to my house. Everyone can walk on it. It doesn't matter." Hu Mingchen shrugged, looking helpless.

"Young man, you can't do this. When it comes to worshiping the sacred tree, there's no reason to worship on the road so far away. You have to go to the sacred tree to burn incense, paper and kowtow. How can the sacred tree show its spiritual power at such a distance?

?" The gentleman invited by the Luo family stood up and said.

"That's right, how can there be such a reason? We used to come to worship the sacred tree, and we always went to the foot of the tree. Moreover, it seems that no one has ever planted this piece of land. Why did your family dig it up for no reason?

What kind of peas should I plant?" The suona craftsman who followed us lit a cigarette and took a puff and asked.

Both the husband and the music player were hired by the Luo family with money. As long as the ceremony was completed in front of the sacred tree, their work would be completed. If they were wasted like this, it would be equivalent to delaying them. If they cannot complete the ceremony, they would just take it.

They don't have enough wages, so of course they have to help the Luo family who hired them.

"You are really weird. Of course, I can plant my land whenever I want. If I didn't plant it before, it doesn't mean I won't plant it in the future. Could it be that we have to ask for your permission before we plant it? Waiting for you

Approval? It’s funny, it’s because people often step on it that we can’t plant. For this reason, my family loses a lot of food every year, and loses a lot of fruits and vegetables. Do you know? The sacred tree has blessed you, so what’s the loss to my family?

I see, who can make up for it a little bit?" Hu Mingchen said with reason and a slight smile.

In fact, this small piece of land really doesn't produce much whether it's for growing grain or fruits and vegetables. The sacred tree itself blocks a lot of sunlight. However, Hu Mingchen just wants to use this as an excuse to collect money.

Of course it's another story.

"What can you produce and lose from your small land? Brother, don't worry about him. Let's finish our prayers and leave immediately." The woman with the Xiaopa said impatiently.

"No, why? What you say makes no sense. Oh, how much loss is needed to be considered a loss? Even if the output is one dollar, is it a loss of one dollar? It's like your house. Before,

No matter what, we don’t care. Anyway, no one can step on my land casually from now on. You are not allowed to come into my land, you are not allowed to come." After saying that, Hu Mingchen raised his hoe and stood in front of those people.

Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao also approached Hu Mingchen, each holding a hoe and blocking the other in a decent manner.

Seeing this situation, the boss of the Luo family felt a headache and was in a dilemma.

If the other party is an adult, you can still talk some sense or build a relationship. Duge Township is so big, and every household will always have relatives or acquaintances in other villages. When facing an adult, all you have to do is make a few twists and turns.

Once the relationship is established, the matter will be over.

Rural people usually don't offend people for trivial matters, and their reputation is not good. It is also for this reason that Hu Mingchen's land cannot be cultivated all year round. Over time, it becomes like a wasteland.

There is nothing I can do about it. As long as Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai are at home, they might even politely ask them for a drink of water. If ten households come to the sacred tree, at least six or seven of them will have something to do with Hu Mingchen's family.

The relationship is either a distant relative, a relative of a relative, a co-worker who has worked together, or simply a relative of Hu Mingchen's next-door neighbor. All of these, you can't refuse even if you want to.

Now that Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai are not at home, Hu Mingchen doesn't care about that. He doesn't know anyone, and no one knows him.

In a word, if there is no benefit, he will not let anyone in.

What happens is that we are dealing with three children who cannot be beaten or scolded. If one of them is not handled well, they will be criticized a lot. No matter what, if there is a conflict with several children, no matter how reasonable it is, it will become useless.

The truth is that people will say that the big bullies the small and bullies others.

What's more, it's still at the doorstep of someone else's house, and it's still in someone else's land, so there's no reason to intrude on someone's door.

"Brother Luo, I know his family, and I can't explain it to the little kid. You might as well go and talk to the adults in his family. Everyone is in this group, and his adults shouldn't be so unkind." He was having a headache at the host's house.

When I knew what to do, a young man who played the gong gave me an idea.

"Don't bother, my elders are not at home. But don't think that you can mess around if my elders are not at home. If you dare to bully, we can still call a lot of people." Hu Mingchen was inoculating the other party in advance.

"Huzi, do you know where his home is? If you know, go and have a look. We'd better talk to the adults." The owner named Luo said to the young man who was playing the gong. He was afraid that Hu Mingchen was lying.

The tiger put down the gong, ran to Hu Mingchen's house in one breath, and ran back again in one breath: "There is really no one in his house. I shouted and knocked on the door, but no one answered me."

"Little doll, please let us go to the ground. We won't delay for long. We will burn some incense and paper candles and bow before leaving. It will not affect your digging. If you think we have stepped on it, then leave.

It’s okay for us to help you dig more when the time comes.” The owner surnamed Luo had no choice but to pray to Hu Mingchen and talk to him properly.

Hu Mingchen's goal was money, not digging the land. How could he agree? If he agreed, wouldn't all this be in vain?

"No, we dig our own land. We don't need help from outsiders. You just said that you would burn incense and paper candles. Do you know that every year, the grass and grain around here are ignited by people who burn incense and paper candles?

My family has to come often to put out fires and wipe those people's butts. With this sacred tree here, my family will not only lose food, fruits and vegetables, but also have to work hard, but there is no benefit at all. This is really unreasonable." Hu Mingchen said to everyone around him.

He pointed casually.

Hu Mingchen couldn't talk about money directly, but he had hinted more than once about the losses and benefits, but the other party couldn't understand. This was too blind.
