I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 124: Special Plants, Tidying up the Cave, Belated Childhood

Xiaoman was immediately annoyed: "No, I'm the most diligent in cooking..."

At this point, she suddenly changed the subject: "But Xiaoping'er said that there are too many clothes now, and it's so hard to wash them... woo woo woo"

But Xiaoping'er stretched out her hand with a face full of shame and covered her unrestrained mouth: I just said that the new close-fitting bib and small clothes are...strange, how can it be said that I don't want to wash clothes. Read М

Gu Ke just chuckled, took the two children out of the tunnel with brisk steps, and put them down: "Okay, okay, then the New Year's Eve dinner depends on you. How about playing in the valley first, and then having a picnic?"

Xiaoman's head was like a chicken pecking at rice, Xiaoping'er didn't say anything, just smiled and lowered her head, and it seemed that she agreed.

He turned his head: "Sister Bai?"

Bai Suqing nodded speechlessly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: After sending Miss Qin away, why do you feel like a wild dog that has run away?

Well, someone said that Xiaoman was a wild dog that had run away, but it was not wrong to use it on him.

Her complaints were not wrong. Gu Ke really felt relaxed at this moment.

He treated Miss Qin so well because of her life-saving grace, and secondly because the two sides got along well.

But, after all, they were just friends.

As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. He is not a gentleman, but he will keep a distance from each other in private life.

For example, he rarely entered Miss Qin's north bedroom and the west bedroom of the four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Most of the time, he discussed and talked with them in the study or the small hut, or even in various places on Yulong Peak.

On the other hand, he often went to the south bedroom of Bai Suqing and the two children to chat and rest with them.

Just because the three of them were one with him, they were not relatives but better than relatives.

Another meaning of being polite to friends and casual to relatives is to be reserved to friends and open to relatives.

At this moment, he was like a friend who had been lingering at home for many days, and the host family of Cheng Yi had been busy for a year to see him off.

When his friend left, he felt a little disappointed, but also a sense of relief.

After all, he, like Bai Suqing, did not like to spend too much time with others, in short, he was a homebody.

However, Sister Bai was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and her heart was still soft, while he was warm on the outside but cold on the inside.

On the surface, he was polite and courteous, and treated her with a smile, but on the inside, he clearly divided the relationship.

Miss Qin had saved him, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum were one with her, which was better.

Although spring, summer, autumn and winter gained a lot, they consumed very little for him, and were not worth mentioning.

However, they met and lived together for a relatively pleasant time.

There was no debt between them, and the benefits of a little effort were given.

If one day, he heard that they were killed, he would at most sigh for misfortune, and if there was a chance, he would help them avenge, but if there was no chance, forget it, that's all.

Similarly, there were people who accepted the grace of the old immortal Shennong, but did not give back too much gratitude.

Gu Ke did not despise or hate these people, but he did not care either.

Just like those foreign seeds scattered in the wild, he just did it casually, and it would not affect him whether he lived or died.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed quickly.

The Yulong Valley, with only five people left, was very busy, but also very leisurely.

Busyness was the indispensable daily practice, as well as the endless farm work and chores.

Leisure was that except for the four hours of martial arts practice every day, most farm work and chores no longer had to be completed.

Lian Baisuqing, the housekeeper, publicly announced his "voluntary resignation" and no longer arranged a schedule for chores.

In fact, the five people did not need much in daily life, and only a very small part was given to Miss Qin and the others.

There was still too much inventory in the warehouse, enough for hundreds of years of food and drink.

From then on, the crops in the fairy field were only harvested in small quantities for daily consumption.

Most of them continued to stay in the field, allowing them to continuously optimize and transform under the power of time and the system.

For example, the crops that had grown in the fairy field for ten years had obvious improvements, such as purple wheat from inferior to ordinary.

Don't underestimate the fact that the quality in the description has only been upgraded to a higher level. The amount of blood and qi that purple wheat can convert has increased several times, and the conversion process is extremely gentle.

Even if ordinary people eat it and cannot absorb and convert a huge amount of grain essence for a while, they will settle in the body and continue to work until they are exhausted.

According to Gu Ke's understanding, this is similar to a "slow release" effect, which is quite convenient.

The crops in the No. 2, 3 and 4 fairy fields are basically like this.

The lucky ones, such as purple bamboo, have grown for ten years and even the variety has become purple emperor ice heart bamboo, which has a natural characteristic - breaking evil.

Using this purple emperor ice heart bamboo as raw material, he can easily make items with the characteristic of breaking evil and dual characteristics.

But the real magic is not them, but the plants with fluorescent light in the No. 1 fairy field where the soil turns from black to red.

There is blood-red old mountain ginger that can stimulate blood and qi for half an hour with no sequelae after eating one bite.

There is the onion, which emits a pungent onion fragrance for an hour after eating one. Once a monster or demon enters a radius of ten feet, it feels like an ordinary person being smoked by pepper smoke.

There is also black garlic, which can make your mind clear and increase your mental resistance for an hour after eating one clove.

There are also purple peppercorns. After eating three or five of them, your mouth, tongue and stomach will feel numb, and your whole body will secrete a lot of sweat to force out the remaining monster aura in your body.

Yin-Yang Perilla, which is a single purple-blue color on both sides, takes one piece to clear your eyes and mind, and the strange fog and darkness cannot interfere with your vision.

Dark green Jade Mint, one piece can calm people who are confused and collapsed. Those with milder conditions can fully recover, and those with more serious conditions will not deteriorate.

Special plants like these can be found everywhere in the No. 1 red soil that has not been picked after growing for ten years.

However, these special plants can only grow in the fairy fields in the future, and the maturity cycle is greatly extended, ranging from several months to several years, and there is no need to pick them every day.

Most of the various special medicines that Gu Ke prepared for Miss Qin are made from these special plants as raw materials and processed.

Like the Purple Emperor Ice Heart Bamboo, these raw materials with natural characteristics only need rough processing, and the products will retain this characteristic.

The workshops and processing workshops add the second characteristic that appears randomly.

Such high-quality raw materials, processed and manufactured items are definitely a treasure that is hard to find in the outside world.

This is the good side.

At the same time, there is also a little "disadvantage", that is, the quality of these plants that have grown and transformed for ten years is too high, and they are no longer suitable as trading seeds for roadside stalls.

Like low-quality purple wheat, it can still grow in the outside world, but it only requires a lot of fertilizer.

Ordinary quality purple wheat is extremely domineering, and can drain large tracts of land into a state where no grass grows, and it will die due to lack of nutrition.

However, Gu Ke and his team had long stopped eating the low-quality grain harvested ten years ago, and stored it in the warehouse.

With the stored grain as seeds, there was no need to plant the grain all over again.

Secondly, the Yulong Valley was "incorporated" by the cave built by the system, and Gu Ke simply named it the Yulong Cave.

When the cave was upgraded, a small amount of converted soul source escaped into it.

After ten years of infiltration, the ordinary land in the valley is far from being comparable to the fairyland, but it can be regarded as a minimalist version of the "quasi-fairyland".

In another three to five hundred years, it may be transformed into a fairyland-like existence.

Of course, this is too far away, and now they have to be used to plant low-quality seeds for trading.

In the past three months, Gu Ke and his two children have gradually reclaimed about 100 acres of seed fields near the foot of the mountain and planted several staple foods.

Planting two seasons a year, about 100,000 kilograms of grain can be harvested.

The roadside stall was only upgraded to level 3 last year, and there are three stall opportunities every month. It is almost enough to exchange two or three thousand kilograms at a time.

A hundred acres sounds like a lot, but it is actually just a square with a side length of about half a mile.

Moreover, not all crops are the same, so the harvest time can be staggered, and it only takes ten days and a half a month a year.

Daily work is only watering and weeding, and when it blooms, two hours will be spent to stimulate blood and complete artificial pollination.

Plant affinity can distinguish the state of the plant, including whether the pollination is successful and the fruit is bred, so there is no fear of missing it.

Doing these jobs is not easy, but it can brush skills such as agronomy, black evil palm, and Tianluo hand, martial arts proficiency, and temper blood and qi control at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Another benefit of upgrading the cave is that the hidden danger of the "refresh point" of the weird things is completely eliminated.

On the system 3D topographic map, the Yulong Peak Ancestral Mausoleum Hall is still the place where the earth veins converge, and the red color that originally represented danger has become safe green.

As an important part of the cave, the underground secret room where the blood-red crystal ball of the energy supply core is located is also marked.

After reading the "last words" of Martial Ancestor Zhao Guangtian, Gu Ke roughly understood the ins and outs of Yulong Valley, which was just a blood sacrifice array set up by Zhao Guangtian.

It would constantly absorb the blood and vitality of the creatures inside, turning the valley into a wasteland, leaving only the most tenacious weeds and shrubs lingering.

The gap under the statue of Martial Ancestor was the passage for Zhao Guangtian to release his ghost body.

But why Zhao Guangtian had more than one ghost body, this secret was buried with him and it was difficult to know.

Besides, everyone is now very powerful. If a blood ghost really appeared, I'm afraid it would be a fate of delivering soul source.

In addition, all system buildings and fairy fields in the cave have a "free" adjustment position every year.

It can be adjusted before the adjustment, so the focus is on free.

Before, Miss Qin and the others were fully engaged in cultivation, and Gu Ke was busy with manufacturing and processing, as well as setting up stalls every month, so he did not use this authority.

Now that they have left, he has made a major adjustment to the layout.

Now, only the study, bedroom, bathroom, pergola, and the No. 3 fairy field full of purple emperor ice heart bamboo are left on Yulong Peak.

Who let Sister Bai like the bamboo forest scenery, so naturally she had to stay.

The location of the four bedrooms remains unchanged, and the position has been adjusted.

Gu Ke's east bedroom and study have not been moved, and Miss Qin's north bedroom is uninhabited and is placed higher and farther away.

The west bedroom where Chunxiaqiudong and Saranzhu live is still adjacent to the bathroom.

Xiao Ping'er wanted to take care of Saranzhu, so she moved here.

Seeing this, Xiaoman asked Gu Ke and Bai Suqing, and also moved here to live with her little sister.

Bai Suqing lived alone in the south bedroom, and finally felt at ease.

She was used to being alone when she rested, and she didn't like or need to be served.

After nightfall, she sat in the bluestone bathtub alone, drank wine and tea, and looked at the night sky and distant mountains. It was so comfortable and satisfying.

But with Xiaoman here, she had to be specifically ordered to go find Gu Ke and not disturb him.

It's almost time to get up again, lest Xiaoman comes back to sleep noisily.

Well, Bai Suqing really doesn't want to sleep with Xiaoman, the little girl is so noisy before going to bed.

The quiet Xiao Ping'er, the silly Saranzhu, and Gu Ke who likes to tease the little girl after eating, can handle this annoying little goblin.

Sister Bai respectfully declines.

Hearing that this guy wants to sleep with Xiao Ping'er and move to the west bedroom, Bai Suqing is thankful.

"By the way", she asked Gu Ke to adjust the position of the south bedroom, and he had to come from his east bedroom along the way.

Obviously, Sister Bai is well versed in the art of "directing trouble to the east".

If Xiaoman is bored and comes to find her, she will have to pass through the east bedroom, and there is a high probability that she will turn to find Gu Ke, so she will naturally escape.

It is okay not to fly to the south bedroom along the way, but Xiaoman will not fly every time, and she will take it as soon as she can.

The pavilions of the pergola were adjusted to the cliff next to the purple bamboo forest, on the mountainside, and near the study. The remaining passages are used as corridors to connect the various buildings on the mountain.

The purple bamboo forest on the cliff of the lonely peak, the white waterfall, the water mist rainbow, and the bamboo building corridor finally have a bit of the atmosphere of the fairy cave.

Other system buildings and three fairy fields were all moved to the flat land a hundred feet away from the east of the foot of the mountain.

So far, the two major areas of the valley are completely divided.

Rest and practice martial arts on Yulong Peak, drink tea and chat, work and eat and move bricks under the peak.

It is not troublesome to travel between the peaks.

It took Bai Suqing and the other two several months to more than a year to acquire the water floating ability, and their lightness characteristics were either +2 or +3.

It only took one jump to go down the mountain, and they could land lightly at the foot of the mountain in a few dozen breaths.

To go up the mountain, they used blood and energy to rush straight up, which took even less time.

Gu Ke had no blood and energy, but he was extremely strong. He opened some small stone platforms on the mountain for easy landing, and it only took a hundred breaths to jump up.

However, with fewer people, there were fewer things to do, and everyone was adapting to the new life.

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing had a lot of experience and could adjust themselves, but Saranzhu was still in a daze every day and did not need to adjust.

Only the two little ones were a little at a loss at first.

But under his guidance, they gradually got used to the new rhythm of life, no longer following him closely all the time, or working non-stop.

Learn to give yourself some free time, and go out to play for an hour or two every day.

It was mainly Xiaoman who took Xiaoping'er and ran all over the valley.

Hills and plains, grasslands and woods, streams and ponds are all places where she has played since she was a child, and there are many fun places.

Xiao Ping'er was born in poverty, but her family was often exploited by landlords and yamen runners, so she had little time to play.

Being led by the eldest sister and spoiled by Gu Ke, she gradually let go and played, with more smiles on her face.

Gu Ke was happy to see it happen.

Children without childhood are pathetic. Playing for one or two hours a day is in line with the natural relaxation.

When you really get older and can't even get excited to play, it will be too late.

Anyway, with the divine thought, he is not afraid of not being able to find these two little guys.

Once Miss Qin and the others left, there was no urgent need to manufacture items or process raw materials.

How long to play in the workshop and processing workshop in a day depends on Gu Ke's interest.

The three girls also need to practice martial arts for four hours every day, but he practices martial arts while farming, so he doesn't need it at all.

After the initial completion of Yulong Cave Mansion a year ago, the basic rewards for daily sign-in were also different.

The starting point is 10 coupons, and the maximum limit is 100 coupons after signing for ten consecutive days, which is ten times the previous amount.
