Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 946 Galloping Horse
Grandpa Li and Dashan took Kuwa to the river outside the village.

Kuva looked at the winding and wide river and felt a sense of deadness. He suddenly realized that he had been here for so long, but he had never heard of anyone in the village eating fish or food from the river.

Grandpa Li led them to walk for a while, and came to a riverbed. He pointed to a huge rock and said, "Kuwa, you were lying on this rock when I found you."

Kuva looked at the stone. It stood by the river. It had a flat surface. It was not big enough for a person to lie down. Kuva asked, "Grandpa, was there a stone like this before?"

Grandpa Li thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there is any. Have you seen Dashan?"

Dashan shook his head and said, "We don't come here often. I've never seen it before."

Kuva walked over and climbed onto the stone. Instantly, Kuva felt the spiritual energy surging inside the stone. Kuva understood that this was a huge spiritual stone, but it was just relatively large.

Kuwa said to Dashan, "Dashan, if you have time, find more people and take it home."

Dashan nodded and said, "I will bring Ershazi here tomorrow."

Kuva looked around and saw nothing unusual. She raised her head to look at the sky, wondering how she got here.

"Grandpa, is there nothing in this river?" asked Kuva.

"There should be something in the river, but there is nothing. Besides, the water is undrinkable. It tastes bitter," said Grandpa Li.

Kova walked to the river, scooped up some water with both hands and tasted it. Kova realized that this water was actually sea water. That's not right. Even sea water should have living things. Kova was puzzled.

Kuwa said to Grandpa Li: "This river water is good. It can be used to make salt. When I return, we will build a salt field by the river. Then the village won't have to buy salt from outside."

Grandpa Li jumped up excitedly and asked quickly, "Is this true?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, the salt we make is much better than the one sold outside." Kuva said calmly.

Grandpa Li smiled and said, "I know you are capable. Grandpa believes in you."

After a period of time, the four boys and Grandpa Li brought a group of people to build a salt field. Kuwa and Xiao Gatou made filtering tools in the carpentry workshop, and asked Dashan to prepare for carbon making. Everyone who was idle in the village became busy.

Half a month later, when the first pot of salt came out, all the villagers came, cheered loudly, and went to taste the newly produced salt.

The boys' hard work was not in vain, they succeeded. As long as there is river water, the village will no longer have to buy the expensive coarse salt outside.

The village gradually became peaceful. Those who should farm farmed, those who should plant sugarcane planted sugarcane, and those who should make salt made salt. In the evening, every household ate delicious meals, and the male host drank a little wine. The whole village seemed comfortable.

At this time, Kuva was lying on a lounge chair in the yard of her home. Next to her was a small table with teacups on it, and the aroma of tea was everywhere.

This is his second lounge chair. Grandpa Li moved the first one to his room. Kuwa told him to get more sun, but Grandpa Li didn't listen. He said he had done farm work all his life and was exposed to the sun.

Dashan was busy at the salt field, Ershazi was busy at the sugar factory, Xiaogatou was busy at the woodworking workshop, and only Kuwa was free.

Grandpa Li took the teacup, moved a small stool to sit next to him, and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

"Grandpa, can we build a house?" said Kuva.

Grandpa Li turned around to look at his own thatched house and said, "If you know how, go ahead and build whatever you want."

"Of course it's a brick and tile house. That way it will look grand and be comfortable to live in. However, I don't want to do it myself without the right person." Kuva said after taking a sip of tea.

Grandpa Li thought for a while and said, "There used to be a bricklayer in the village, but he went into the mountains to hunt and died. However, his two sons have learned a little bit, but I don't know if they can do it."

Kuva sat up and said, "Okay, why not? But they have contributed manpower and effort, so how do you calculate the wages in the end?"

Grandpa Li glared and said, "Why do you want wages? There is no money here. It's all exchange. Now the things you make belong to everyone in the village. When the time comes, you can use the things to pay for them. The two brothers will be so happy."

After Grandpa Li finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. Not long after, he brought back two middle-aged men in their thirties. Kuwa stood up and saluted, and the two men quickly returned the salute.

Grandpa Li said, "These are the brothers of the Zhao family. The eldest is Zhao Fu and the second is Zhao Gui."

Grandpa Li pointed at Kuwa and said, "My grandson Kuwa wants to build a house, but it's a big job. If you two want to do it, just learn from my grandson." The two brothers nodded quickly, and the eldest said, "We know that it is a blessing for us to be favored by Kuwa. Just tell us what to do and we will do it well."

Kuva nodded, took the two brothers out of the yard and went to find a place to build a brick kiln.

A month later, the large blue brick and tile house of Old Li's family was built. The blue brick courtyard wall and red gate looked rich and grand.

Kuwa built a courtyard house with two entrances, which is similar to his house in Xishan, but smaller.

But the red pine wood in this mountain is really a good thing. It solves a lot of problems and also makes it look rich and beautiful.

Grandpa Li and Dashan set off a string of firecrackers, then slaughtered a pig in the front yard, preparing to treat the entire village to a meal.

When the villagers saw how beautiful the yard was, they instantly lost their composure and immediately surrounded the two brothers of the Zhao family.

Finally, the two brothers of the Zhao family followed Grandpa Li's advice and exchanged a bag of salt, a bag of sugar and two pigs for a yard like this.

When the villagers heard this, they all accepted it. They worked in the salt fields and sugar factories, and their wages were sugar and salt.

After the meal, several village elders gathered together to discuss the pros and cons of exchanging goods with each other.

Grandpa Li said: "If the villagers want to go out, they should start with salt and sugar, but there is really no place to spend money in the village."

The clan leader grandfather said: "Why don't we take a side path in the organization and go out for a while to exchange for something else, and let them know that we have these things. Then we won't go out and wait for them to come, and we can also reduce the danger."

Several old men felt that what the clan leader said was right. In fact, they didn’t need to go out. They just needed to let outsiders know that there were good things in the village, and then they would come naturally.

In the evening, the four boys and Grandpa Li sat on the stone bench in the yard and drank wine.

Grandpa Li asked Kuwa, "Too many of these things are useless to the village. What should we do if people from outside don't come?"

Kuva smiled and said, "They will come, Grandpa. I want the people outside to come by themselves, but we have to go out too."

Kuva then drank a glass and said, "I don't know what they are thinking. Grandpa, you should have guessed it. I want to enter the academy."

Grandpa Li said, "I know you want to reach the top of Wei State."

Dashan was stunned and asked, "Do you know how to practice martial arts?"

Kuva nodded and said, "I remember learning it before, but I don't know what level it is here."

"How come we don't know?" the three people said in unison.

Kuva rolled her eyes and said, "You didn't ask."

The three people's eyes lit up and they looked at Kourova, intending to let her show them.

Kuva saw that there was no escape, so he said, "I won't tell you what I inherited from my ancestors. Let's practice a set of Tianluo boxing. This is also a top-level boxing style, of course, that's in our place."

Kuva stood up and moved to the middle of the yard. His eyes changed, filled with murderous intent. He moved swiftly and punched with great force, shaking the leaves beside him.

After a set of Tianluo Fists, Kournikova looked like nothing happened and didn't even break a sweat.

The three boys were stunned. Kuva asked, "Why, do you want to learn?"

The three of them nodded frantically like chicks eating rice.

Kuva said, "You can learn, but you have to start from the basics. I will teach you from three o'clock tomorrow morning. It's up to you how well you can learn it."

The three of them nodded frantically again.
