Everyone basically learned it in the whole morning. Among them, Yin Keqin and Yin Kecheng learned the best. They were already very proficient when they came back from outside the village.
I have also memorized the other passwords, as long as I become more familiar with them.
Qingyan also taught them how to appease Niu's emotions according to what Chou Chou said. This was what Chou Chou asked Niu and Niu himself said, and it was absolutely effective.
Everyone went home at noon. They did not send the cattle back. They rushed back to their homes first to familiarize themselves with unloading and tying the trucks. Otherwise, it would not be possible to come back in one day after going out to move the graves.
Even if the journey is not far, it can take more than half a day to get there, but it still takes time to pick up the bones from the grave, and to put carrots in the dug grave and bury it back.
The reason why I buried a radish inside is because of this tradition. As the saying goes, a radish creates a hole. If you just fill in the grave when you open it, it will not work. Maybe more people will die in the family. The hole is equivalent to a reserved one. If you bury it, you will die until everyone in your family is dead.
This was the first time Qingyan heard this statement. She had never known this before.
The main reason is that she has never met someone who moved a grave before. From the time she was born to now, she has only attended one funeral, that of her great-uncle and great-grandfather.
Her great-uncle and great-grandfather's family moved to her hometown village during the drought years, and after his death, they were buried back in his original hometown.
Her great-uncle was from another county, and her last words were to be buried in the ancestral grave in her hometown. When she was just eight years old, she went back with her parents and grandparents to attend the funeral.
At that time, I felt that there were so many steps in a funeral, and it would take three days to complete the funeral. Now I realize that it was all simplified, and the ancient procedures were more cumbersome.
During lunch, Qingyan listened to these people eating with gusto and felt that these customs and traditions were really interesting.
Of course, it’s not certain that if the carrot is not filled in, someone will actually die. This is just a legend, and the old lady has never heard of anyone actually dying because of this.
The main thing is that no one will go against the customs. Not to mention the ancients, even the modern people of later generations will also look for a good sign. As long as there is something particular about it, they generally will not touch this taboo. If nothing happens, it will be fine. If something happens, you will You have to regret it, why bother.
We still had pancakes and millet porridge for lunch. Yesterday’s pancakes were still left, and the millet porridge in the morning was not finished. We could continue to eat at noon. As for vegetables, the old lady stewed a chicken and fried a Chinese cabbage.
The chickens raised here are much more delicious than pheasants, and the meat is fatter and more tender.
When the chicken was killed, there were still many unlaid eggs in the chicken's belly. The old lady said it was a pity. It looked like the old hen was laying eggs. The family sincerely thanked Qingyan for saving her life. Otherwise, farmers would be reluctant to kill chickens that are laying eggs.
For example, during festivals, they kill hens or roosters that no longer lay eggs, and usually keep the ones that are laying eggs.
Not only can you eat eggs at home, but you can also take them to the town to exchange for money and buy some needles, thread, brains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The idea of a chicken butt bank has been around since ancient times.
After lunch, Yin Keqin went out and brought back some hay to feed the cows and bears.
Because there was no trough, it was inconvenient for the cows and horses to eat, so they used two benches to build a wooden board, put grass on the board, and put a wooden basin of water.
In fact, they can eat and drink if placed on the ground, but it just takes a little effort.
It's just that the big bear was a little delicate because of Qingyan's care. When feeding him water, he would always put it on a high place or hold it in a hand, so that he wouldn't have to bend his head to reach it.
When feeding water before, the reason why Yin Keqin held the wooden basin was because he put it on the ground and the big bear didn't drink at all, so he was there to help it carry it.
When he went to the clan leader and his hometown to take care of the cows, he also saw the cowshed built by the family and the food trough in the cowshed, and then he knew that it should be placed in a higher place to make it easier for them to eat and drink.
They don't have to return the cattle in these two days. One is driving the cart skillfully every day, and the other is also helping to raise the cattle. You can't just send them back to others to raise them as soon as they are used up. Just go and take them away when you use them.
Since you want to use it, of course you have to contribute, and it just so happens that you can get more familiar with the cow.
However, there is a plug-in called Chou Chou. I have already given instructions to these cows today, and I am already familiar with these young men. At most, if they don’t go together by then, it should be okay for Chou Chou to keep an eye on them with his spiritual consciousness. no problem.
After all, Chou Chou's current spiritual consciousness detection range is no longer the same.
Now its spiritual consciousness can directly detect ten times the previous distance, and can cover a distance of up to 200 kilometers. Two hundred kilometers was not a short distance in ancient times.
In the afternoon, Yin Keqin put the car on and pulled him out to continue practicing. Qingyan did not follow him. Anyway, these command movements were just enough to learn. It was all up to him to master them a few times.
In the afternoon, she went back to the house and took a nap for an hour, then let Chou Chou take her into the space to wander around.
I walked around the space again to see what the space looked like during the day.
Sure enough, as Chou Chou said, the light inside is almost the same as outside, except that it looks cloudy without the sun.
I carefully looked at the place I had cleaned up yesterday. There was nothing that needed to be cleaned up, so I followed Chou Chou to the other side of the pool.
Unlike Xiangxiang's space, which seemed to be its own world, Chouchou's place felt more depressing, and the sky seemed to be much lower. Unlike Xiangxiang's space, it felt like the sky was high and the sea was vast.
Moreover, there are mountains and water, lakes and seas. There are wild boars, deers and pandas on the mountains. There are baiji dolphins and salamanders in the water. There are swans on the lake. On the grassland by the lake, there are cows, sheep and wild donkeys. In short, it is There are many small animals.
There is no water in Chou Chou except for the pool it dug itself, let alone flowers and trees. Except for the smooth, mirror-like stone platform the size of a football field, there is endless black scorched earth.
Yes, you can't see the edge at all, but it is indeed empty above. Except for the things placed here, it is really dark over there.
Qingyan looked at Chou Chou and said, "Do you think something can grow if I plant something in your space? What if your black soil can grow something like fertile black soil?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "No, it can't be planted."
Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "You know this without even trying?"
Chou Chou squinted at her, "Have you forgotten what I relied on for cultivation? This soil is full of sinister energy, how can anything grow?"
Besides, everything in this dimension is safe. How could you think that kind of seed would sprout if you plant it? Everything is still there. "
Qingyan looked confused and said: "Since everything is still, then why can I come in now? Since we can talk now, time must not be still. By the way, my breathing is not abnormal. You are here Where does the air come from?”
Chou Chou: "This is my natal space, of course it comes as I wish. It didn't exist before because I haven't recovered yet, so I couldn't bring you in, and I couldn't put living things in because it would consume too much energy. , I simply can't bear it.
It's different now. I can now bear the amount of energy it takes for you and Little Leopard to come in, but the time shouldn't be too long. You can stay for about ten days at most, otherwise you will be in a state of stasis.
What's better than before is that it won't lose its vitality when it is taken in, but it will be in a true state of stillness, just like entering a state of suspended animation, and it can be restored when it comes out. "
A happy expression appeared on Qingyan's face, "That's great. From now on, you can just collect the wild animals."
Although it can be kept fresh, it is dead when you take it out, and it always feels less fresh than alive. Moreover, if there are outsiders, you have to hide it to avoid others finding something wrong.
Chou Chou nodded, "Indeed, if I leave this thing in the space for a long time, I'm afraid it will be contaminated with evil spirits. It will be terrible if it has any impact on you."
Another thing is that they can take something back. They thought the peach was delicious before, but after eating it, they were reluctant to throw away the peach core. They thought about taking it back and planting it in a fragrant space or in the yard of their home.
But I'm afraid that the peach has entered the Chou Chou dimension, and will the peach core lose its vitality?
This problem has been solved now, and you can save the seeds when you encounter something delicious.
Qingyan raised her hand and looked at her watch, "Huh? I've already slept, and it's been so long since I've been in space. Why is it only half past one in the afternoon?"
Chou Chou: "This watch should have stopped after I came in. You can just readjust it after you go out."
Qingyan looked carefully, and it was true that the second hand had not moved.
"Oh, this is troublesome. I used to adjust the time according to the time on TV. In ancient times, I couldn't tell the time at all, so I always adjusted the time roughly. Alas... now I have to adjust it again."
Before, she asked others for the time and then adjusted her watch according to the approximate time in ancient times. Now it was troublesome to have to adjust it again.
Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to look at the sky outside. The sun was now a little westward, and it should be around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
It gets dark here around eight o'clock, so it's still quite bright now.
She said to Qingyan: "Why don't you adjust it to five o'clock now? Or you can wait until it gets dark. When it gets dark here, just adjust it to eight o'clock. The time should be about the same." .
Qingyan nodded, and looked at the little leopard from a distance. Seeing that it was fine, she lay quietly in the basket, stopped staying in the space, and let Chou Chou send her out directly.
I returned to the house again, tidied my hair and clothes, and left the house.
The old lady was killing chickens in the yard. The three of them finished the chicken at noon, and killed another one in the evening.
Qingyan told her before that she could just keep the remaining two hens and let them continue to lay eggs.
Of course the old lady disagreed. This was a thank you gift given to Qingyan by the villagers. What the hell was going on with her? It would be bad if people knew about it then.
And she really likes to raise chickens. If she wanted to raise chickens, she would have raised them before, and she wouldn't wait until now.
When Qingyan saw her insistence, she stopped talking. The old lady planned to cook the chickens, eggs, grains and vegetables while Qingyan was here. After all, it was the wishes of the villagers, and she didn't do this. It can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha and entertaining one's benefactor.
It was very lively early the next morning, because the five people drove the cart around the village for a day. Everyone in the village knew how many people had learned how to drive the cart.
Several daughters-in-law who were going back to their parents' homes thought about asking them to drive them back.
A few people didn't refuse, they just happened to be on the road to practice their skills, and they also had to go to town, so it was a nice way.
They need to find someone to calculate the suitable time for moving the grave. Although the place they are going to is not far away, moving the grave does not just mean counting the days directly. It also needs to be based on the birth date of the deceased and the person who moved the grave. The birthday and birth date must also be taken into account. Not only the date, but also the hour, time, and hour must be calculated clearly.
There are also things that need to be used, such as some paper figures, horses, and soul-drawing flags, all of which have been prepared in advance.
The soul-attracting flag is necessary, otherwise the corpse will come back without the soul coming back.
What they say here is that the filial son should hold it in front. If he lifts it all the way back, the soul can come back with him.
The same goes for funerals, where filial sons and virtuous grandsons must hold banners so that the soul can follow them.
You have to go to the town to purchase these things, and the village does not do these things.
When Qingyan heard that they were going to Qingfeng Town, she thought about the bandits and didn't know if the shops in the town were open again.
But think about it, those funeral supplies shops should not have been robbed. At most, they have lost money. Those bandits can't even rob the coffins.
She didn't tell them about Qingfeng Town before, because the situation was unknown at the time, and the other party thought it was five years ago. This time she forgot about it again, so she told them again.
The mother and son were a little worried when they heard that. Let's not talk about the coffin shop. They didn't know if those who knew how to tell the time were still in the town. If they were scared away, it would be troublesome.
But even so, they still have to go and take a look. Nowadays, communication is inconvenient. Unlike in later generations, where you can just make a phone call or check online, now you have to go there in person.
I just happened to be sending the daughters-in-law back to their parents' homes. If that doesn't work, I would just go to the county town. But then there is no need for everyone to go, just one person can calculate the birth date and horoscope.
In this way, the next day, five young men in five ox carts, plus the nine wives who were married into the Qinian Village, set off.
The nine daughters-in-law are all between the ages of 20 and 40. Those who are too old, firstly, cannot walk, and secondly, there is no one at their parents' home, so there is no need to go back to see them.
Are you too young? There have been no newly married soldiers in the past two years. The five drivers like Yin Keqin are all bachelors, and they have not yet married a wife in their twenties.
Because Qinian Village is rather weird, except for the clan leader, it is difficult for the men in the village to find wives. Basically, no one gets married before the age of twenty.
However, this time the daughters-in-law returned to their parents' homes with great fanfare, which should be able to change some of the situation.
