Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 178
Chapter 170 IX Opened the Canal
When a group of people boarded the boat with a lot of noise, Yulian's sister-in-law let out a long breath and said, "This isn't a guest, it's just locusts. They don't even let the bad sea peppers go. This is not the case." Robbers enter the house and grab ashes. Take it away?"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said, "This shows that sister-in-law Yulian is a good cook. It seems that the taste preferences of people in this city are worth analyzing. Who would have thought that bad peppers could also be added to the 'Li Gapo' series?"

That night, the chat room became lively again, because the army of cleaning the list had arrived home.

Caitou was there proudly: "Everyone is home? Hurry up and watch the big fish list, hahaha Erpi really disappeared."

Chelsea seat: "Hahaha, I saw it, I saw it, and the post of the event has also come out. Ayin's movements are really fast. What do you think the ditch master is doing now?"

The white strip is also a fish: "What else can we do? Draw a circle and curse us, the weather is about to cool down, and the fish are getting harder and harder to catch. We should be able to keep this list until next year, right?"

Heilong Zhenshui: "I think the ditch will be held until next year, why am I so happy?"

Platinum Hook: "Just took someone else's musk wine, and then kicked him down in a blink of an eye, hehehe, aren't we being kind?"

Lazy fish: "Hahaha, what's so unkind, have you forgotten Erpi's arrogant face at that time? No matter what we said, he just said 'I don't accept it, let's fight' and beat us back!"

Crazy Yang said: "That's right. At that time, my lungs were exploding with qi. I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be: After a fight, I will be cowardly! Hahaha!"

The next thing was to compliment each other, especially Caitou and Laogui, one took down the big herring and the other took down the big silver carp, which played a decisive role in the cleansing activities.

So everyone booed and asked for a celebration banquet, one in charge of the wine and the other in charge of the meal, as if they had accomplished something extraordinary.

At the time when the chaos was raging, suddenly there were more than a dozen "ding ding ding ding" sounds in succession.

"Huang La Ding,...Catcher: Li Junge"

"Triangle Peak,...the catcher: Li Junge"

"Oxtail,...the catcher: Li Junge"

"Shi Climber,...the catcher: Li Junge"

"Jiang Tuan,...the catcher: Li Junge"

……

There was sudden silence in the chat room, and no one spoke for a while.

Suddenly someone spoke.

"I hurt [-] points with critical strikes!"

"Uh... Brothers, has anyone used earthworms in our ranking list this time?"

"?"

"I use the wheat given by the ditch master."

"I used the corn given by the ditch owner."

"Damn, musk wheat is so powerful, who still uses earthworms?"

"I used snails, but the problem is that they are designed to kill herring..."

"Damn it, you idiots are going to die! Why didn't anyone think of fishing for meat bait?"

"You still have the nerve to talk about us! Did you use it yourself?"

"..."

"Kick left and right, sink deeper and deeper!"

"Familiar formula, familiar taste!"

"Pfft... The ditch master can really bear it. He ambushed these fish at this time, and then tempted us to use wheat in Lijiagou!"

"Fuck me! Caitou, it's not that we are weak, this enemy is too cunning!"

"Routines, endless routines!"

"What are you afraid of! At worst, let's wash it again!"

"Isn't it good? The frequency of fishing is too frequent, the daughter-in-law will have a hard time!"

"Emma, ​​baiguang, you rake your ears! At worst, just bring some saponins, rice peach gum and honey to your daughter-in-law!"

"That's right, my lungs are exploding. I just got home and my ass is still hot! He's slipping up the list again! I'll brush him off next week!"

"Brothers, are you all mad? You didn't even look at what kind of fish that dead second skin brushed up? Even if you use meat bait, you don't talk much now!"

"Really... These fish can only be caught after the peach blossom flood... Emma is so mad at me, isn't this a mouthful of old blood that I will hold until April next year?!"

"It's more than that! Dead Erpi said... Lijiagou will stop fishing from March to June..."

"puff……"

……

Li Junge has no time to care about the grievances in the chat room, but Uncle Orion said that the canal will be repaired tomorrow, and the water in the mountain pond will be almost full. It just happens to be another auspicious day, so hurry up and complete the canal opening ceremony , you can turn on the water.

I went to the Pan'ao Township Market and bought a seven-pound red rooster, a few knives of wool paper, a few incense candles, [-] firecrackers, a big pig's head, candy, peanuts and fruits at home, all ready.

And of course wine, and it has to be good wine.

In the early morning of the next day, Uncle and Uncle Orion took the lead, Li Junge carried things, and the villagers who participated in the construction of the canal followed, walking along the narrow stone ladder beside the canal to the mountain pond.

There is already a small stream of water in the canal, and the bottom of the canal has become wet.

Two curious international friends also followed, and Alice still held a SLR in her hand, walking and taking pictures all the way.

When he came to the big rock by the pond, Li Junge began to look around.

The stone ridge of the mountain pond is made of red sandstone strips and cement, like a lying Arabic numeral 3, the side of the opening is facing upstream, storing the water flowing out of the cave, and the whole mountain stream has become a clear pond. The clear pond extends upwards, and it is estimated that the water surface can extend to the mouth of the toad cave.

The water is pale blue, like a large piece of glass.

The small dam of the mountain pond is covered with square stones, which makes the small dam look more like a city wall, and the spring water flows out from the crenels, like small waterfalls.

People can also walk along these stone piles to the opposite side of the mountain pond.

At the junction of the pond and the ditch, there stood a rough stone statue, half a person's height and as thick as a large bucket. It could roughly be seen as a person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a snub nose and a big mouth.

Li Junge was delighted when he saw it: "Oh, Bodhisattva Swallowing Mouth!"

Tunkou Bodhisattva is a common thing in the Jiachuan countryside in the old days. It is generally a rough stone statue that can barely see the human shape, or simply a half-person-high small house covering an area of ​​half a square. Some of them don’t even have statues. They just paste a small statue and finish the work. They are usually placed next to the big paddy fields, at the intersection of the country’s stone roads, or on the roadside not far from the market. They are local gods worshiped spontaneously by the villagers. .

The main position is similar to that of the Land City God, but the rank is lower than them. Li Junge guessed wildly that his status among the gods should be similar to the administrative rank of the "Pavilion Chief" in history.

Can manage five miles.

The Tunkou Bodhisattva by the stream has a big chin and bulging eyes. The villagers chiseled it like this, which always reminds Li Junge of the one in the legendary Baimi Cave.

Uncle Orion put a red cloth on the Tunkou Bodhisattva, and put pig's head fruit at its feet, and Li Junge hung the ten thousand ringing whip on the green gang tree next to it.

The uncle looked at the sun and said, "It's almost there, let's start."

Poured three cups of wine in front of Tunkou Bodhisattva, and filled the cups again.

Then he led everyone to bow, and said in his mouth: "Thank you Bodhisattva, the mountain pond has been built, and please bless the clear springs in the future, the fish in Lijiagou are plump and the shrimps are delicious, and the grains are plentiful."

Then he nodded to Li Junge, and Li Junge lit the firecrackers, crackling and exploding, startling all the birds in the ditch to fly.

The uncle lit the joss stick paper amidst the sound of firecrackers. Uncle Orion held up the big rooster and bowed to Tunkou Bodhisattva three times. He pulled out the plug and cut the rooster's throat, and poured the blood of the chicken around Tunkou Bodhisattva.

After showering, pull out some chicken feathers, stick some blood on the body of Tunkou Bodhisattva, which means that the Bodhisattva has accepted the offering.

Then several people began to singe the paper to the Bodhisattva.

There are some arcs chiseled on the wool paper, roughly the pattern of three copper coins on the paper, which is the most primitive "paper money".

After burning the wool paper, Uncle Orion and Li Junge came to the mouth of the canal.

There is a stone trough at the mouth of the canal, and several thick wooden squares are inserted in the trough.

The spring water was bubbling through the cracks in the wood, but not much.

There are holes at both ends of the wooden square. Uncle Orion threw a steel hook to Li Junge, and the two inserted the steel hooks into the holes respectively, shouting at the bottom of the canal: "Yo Yo Yo! The canal is opened!"

The villagers standing on both sides of the canal also yelled: "Yo Yo Yo! The canal has been opened!"

This is not only a ceremony, but it is actually a notice to the subordinates, who are still dangling at the bottom of the canal, hurry up to avoid being washed by the water.

The water pressure was quite strong, and with the strength of Uncle Orion and Li Junge, it took a long time to lift the first board out.

The clear spring water rushed into the ditch immediately, and the first wave was like a wild horse running wild, rushing left and right in the ditch, rushing down the mountain.

While holding their own children, the fellow villagers squatted down and greeted the wave with their hands for fear that they would fall into it. The children just jumped beside them: "The joints are flooded!"

When the old people received the water, they slapped the children on the heads and faces with the water in their hands, and said while patting, "Fu Qi baby, Fu Qi baby!"

There are three pieces of wood blocking the mouth of the canal. When the three pieces are taken out, the water in the canal will increase immediately.

The clear spring flowed into the small square pond on the hillside near Lijiagou, quickly filled the square pond, and then flowed into several branch canals from the mouths at the other end of the square pond.

Several branch canals lead to fish ponds, pig farms and vegetable fields.

After the ceremony was over, the villagers began to walk down the mountain one after another.

The uncle picked the tributes such as the pig's head and the rooster down the mountain first, and the Bodhisattva paid homage to them and they should eat them.

Li Junge walked slowly behind with Uncle Orion, and Li Junge asked, "Uncle Orion, how have you learned the Forest Law?"

Members of the forest protection team must first go to the Forestry Bureau to learn the "Forest Law" and "Regulations for the Implementation of the Forest Law", and also learn some cases before they can work.

Uncle Orion said: "Miao Wa and I both went to learn it. I don't think it's useful. It's not as good as ours."

Li Junge said: "You can't say that. The country considers the overall situation, and the whole country has one law. Our set may only be suitable for Bifeng Mountain. It may not be easy to use in the Northeast, so it still has reference value."

Uncle Orion pursed his lips: "Tell what you said to the old village master, and see if he takes care of you."

Damn, it's boring to use the elders to suppress people, so Li Junge had to change the subject: "Director Wang asked me to bring the books to the old village master, so they won't be allowed to come down to study. When are you going to pull up the forest guard team?" Is the team coming?"

Uncle Orion said: "Miaowa and I have been patrolling the mountains before, but we just didn't receive public food. By the way, Piwa, I haven't thanked you for this!"

Li Junge said: "You are welcome, this is what you deserve, but you two are not enough. At the very least, you must first take one area and plan out a few routes for patrolling the mountains, so that newcomers can get familiar with them first. For some valleys with good scenery, we will strive to create one or two mountain hiking routes next year, and it is best to form a loop to welcome more guests.”
