Wu Luo led Lu Cheng and Qingmei to the edge of the castle, pointed him to a larger wooden house, and said, "You can rest here first, and after two days of rest, someone will take you to the Spiritual Grass Garden."
Afterwards, Wu Luo briefly introduced some situations. As a low-level servant, he can receive some spiritual grain, corn, animal meat, and a small amount of jade coins. These supplies are not too much. If there is no additional contribution, I think It is difficult to raise a maid. If you want to live a more comfortable life, you must either pass the "Little Witch Bronze Medal" exam, work for two more hours, or ask your maid Qingmei to go out to work. There are some chores such as washing, washing, sewing and weaving in the witch castle.
Then, Wu Luo ordered her men to deliver the first batch of food and a bundle of firewood to Lu Cheng.
"You can chop the firewood yourself. There are trees all over the mountains and plains. As long as you are five miles away from the Witch Castle, you can chop down any trees in the distance. Then chop them back and dry them before you can light a fire..."
"I understand, thank you madam for your patient guidance."
After Wu Luo finished explaining, she turned and left.
Lu Cheng walked into the wooden house and saw that the space inside was relatively spacious. There was a wooden bed, which was a bit narrow. It was obviously for one person. There were no tables and chairs, but there was a stove, as well as earthen pots and pottery. All in all, the layout in the cabin is too simple!
Qingmei smiled and said: "Finally settled down. Brother, you rest for a while, I will make a fire to cook."
Lu Cheng took out the big wooden bed from the jade ring, covered it with white tiger skin, and sat on the tiger skin to meditate.
For the time being, being a servant of a great witch is not necessarily a bad thing. Whether it is the spiritual witch Wu Zong or Wu Luo who just met, they are not too unkind to their servants.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
When he first arrived, he could only carefully look and observe more; as time went by, he was confident that his life would become better.
Qingmei cooked porridge in a clay pot and roasted a piece of venison on the fire.
Lu Cheng got off the wooden bed, took out some seasonings, chili pepper, cumin powder, and salt, and showed him how to grill the green plums.
Qingmei obeyed the instructions, roasted the meat, and gave most of it to Lu Cheng. She kept a small half, took a bite, and said in surprise: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! Brother, what you asked me to spread was some kind of elixir." ?"
Lu Cheng said: "It's not a magic medicine, it's just an ordinary condiment."
Qingmei ate raw meat before turning into a human form. It has only been eight years since she turned into a human form. During these 8 years, she also ate half-cooked meat! Now I tasted meat with salt, chili and cumin powder for the first time. I could smell hundreds of aromas coming from the oil. The taste was so wonderful!
"Brother, is this condiment you are talking about a specialty of the Yi tribe? Can it be grown here? If it can be grown, that would be great! Maybe it can please Master Wu Sheng, even if he goes to the city You can also earn a lot of jade coins by selling barbecue."
"Hey, Qingmei, you are very smart! This is a good idea. Let me think about it."
After eating, it quickly became dark.
The next morning, Lu Cheng walked out of the wooden house and walked around.
He didn't dare to walk into the castle rashly, so he could only walk around the outside.
A lot of spiritual fields were cultivated outside the castle, and various spiritual grasses were planted. In some fields, spiritual grains were planted, but because it was early winter, only dry straw remained in the spiritual valleys.
Lu Cheng walked farther and farther, and after walking for twenty or thirty miles, he saw forests all over the mountains and plains, without even a single person. He walked into the forest and cut down a big tree with an iron sword.
Look at the cross-section of the big tree. The color is yellow, the texture is beautiful, the smell is fragrant, there are ghost faces and cow hair patterns, and there is phosphorescence like fireflies, it seems like rosewood!
In the past year, he has specially studied various rare woods, so he has an impression of rosewood.
He carefully observed the trees around him and finally determined that this forest was full of rosewood!
"Hehe, these are rare tree species! I have to chop down two more!"
He jumped up to the treetop and looked around. There was indeed no one.
So he quietly took out the golden dagger and swung it continuously, felling five big trees, each of which was more than one meter and a half in diameter.
He cut the big tree into sections, each section was two or three meters long, and quickly put it into the jade ring. He left a part of the wood, chopped it into small pieces, and took it back to burn on the fire!
Another day later, someone came to the wooden house, called Lu Cheng out, took him to the edge of a spiritual field, and told him that there were three kinds of spiritual grass planted in the spiritual field: Zhuyu, Mihu, and Baijiu, and gave him Explain how to care for, water, remove insects, and mulch the soil, observe the growth of spiritual grass, and report any abnormality in a timely manner.
The man didn't say what the three spiritual herbs were used for. He just gave him some tools and a fist-sized storage jade pendant with a tiger's head carved on it, and left.
Lu Cheng recalled the Classic of Mountains and Seas that he had read, and remembered that it said: Zhu Yu, there is grass Yan, its shape is like a leek with green flowers, its name is Zhu Yu, you will not be hungry if you eat. Mihu, its shape is like a grain and its texture is black, its flowers are shining in all directions, its name is Mi Gu, if you wear it, you will not be confused; Baijiu, its shape is like a grain but its texture is red, its juice is like lacquer, its taste is like glutinous rice, when you eat it If you are not hungry, you can relieve your labor. Its name is Bai?, it can be blood jade.
This spiritual field is at least a dozen acres, and there are thousands of spiritual grasses planted there.
Lu Cheng looked around and saw that there were no ridges, no longitude and latitude lines in the spiritual field, and the planting of spiritual grass was in a disorderly manner.
"Alas, these people don't even have any sense of beauty."
However, there are some advanced features here. For example, the "Cloud and Rain Talisman" is used for watering, so he does not have to fetch water himself; the "Golden Evil Talisman" is used to kill insects, so there is no need to apply pesticides, let alone catch insects.
These talismans were provided by the great witch and did not need to be drawn by Lu Cheng himself. He only had talismans carved from jade, not paper talismans written on talisman paper. The big witches didn't think he could draw talismans on his own, because little witches couldn't draw talismans.
From that day on, he carefully took care of the spiritual field. His main job was to dig out the decomposed soil from a distant valley and pile it on the roots of each spiritual grass.
That valley is rich in wild fruits and is home to many birds. Bird droppings and leaves have accumulated over the years and turned into nutritious mulch.
Lu Cheng took a bronze hoe, dug soil in the valley, put in the storage artifact with the tiger's head, brought it back, and covered the roots of the spiritual grass bit by bit.
After ten days of this, everything became familiar.
That night, Lu Cheng lay on the wooden bed, rubbed his jade ring, and his mind drifted back to modern times.
He reached out and touched the cell phone placed by the bedside. He looked at the date and saw that it was the early morning of November 26th.
Take a look at the news and learn about the latest developments.
Lu Cheng is also considered the number one person. Even though he is relatively low-key, some things will still involve him.
The first news related to him, which was quite popular, was about rune batteries. A reporter interviewed Luo Tao and published a long article specifically introducing the development of rune batteries and its applications. Prospects, mentioned that Dapeng Motors and NIO Automobile have both placed orders to purchase this kind of battery and are preparing to develop a new type of car.
Luo Tao is the general manager of Rune Battery Company. He followed Lu Cheng's instructions and did not disclose the company's shareholding structure, so outsiders did not know who the company's major shareholders were.
This novel rune battery has attracted the interest of many readers. There are many comments below. Some say it is feudal superstition, not reliable at all, and just nonsense, just like Pang Zhonghua’s car that can run with water. However, it is strange that such a battery can attract orders from Dapeng and NIO.
Dapeng and Weilai are both companies listed abroad. If such a formal company does not have enough data support, it is impossible to purchase thousands of sets of rune batteries and hundreds of thousands of chips at a time. How much will it cost? This is no joke.
Some readers are very patient. After reading the long article, they realize that Luo Tao is not only the developer of Rune batteries, but also the developer of Rune fans and precipitation black boxes. Rune fans and precipitation black boxes have been promoted in many places. , for this reason, this has reduced people's doubts about rune batteries.
The second piece of news related to Lu Cheng is less eye-catching. It is Daqin Technology’s announcement that it will issue shares publicly to raise funds.
The third news was even more inconspicuous. It said that in the Kunlun finals, someone bribed the opponent and staged a fake match.
Lu Cheng knew at a glance that this was another case of Lin Quan looking for someone to gain momentum and take the opportunity to suppress the stock price.
Just imagine, when people watch a game, they watch it for its authenticity. If two people have discussed it and already know who will lose and who wins, and they are pretending to fight, what's the point?
Lu Cheng thought: "Although the methods used by Lin Quan are unreasonable, before I take over a certain amount of equity, it might not be a bad thing to give this company a good beating and make the game more formal and cleaner."
In addition to these three pieces of news that were related to him, there was another piece of news that caught his attention.
"The wild beasts escaped from Pengcheng Zoo!"
Two tigers, three wolves, several monkeys and chimpanzees in Pengcheng Zoo escaped from the zoo through unknown means!
Not long after this happened, around 9pm last night, the zoo management staff discovered that the beast had escaped! Report it immediately and ask the police for assistance. At the same time, people are informed to stay at home to prevent being harmed by wild animals.
Because it was night, even though all the police were out with guns, it was not easy to capture or kill the beast.
According to Lu Cheng's guess, those beasts may have been alienated and different from ordinary beasts, so it is difficult to say whether they can be captured in the end.
If this incident happened in Quancheng, he would definitely be responsible and would help the police catch the beast. But Pengcheng was still far away from Quancheng, and Lu Cheng was unwilling to drive hundreds of kilometers to help in the middle of the night. In the final analysis, he does not feel that he is a hero and does not have the ability to take care of the world's affairs; and this will happen sooner or later, and it is already settled that it has not happened until now.
Since human beings' abilities are improving, and those sprinters can easily run 100 meters in 9.3 seconds, why won't alienation occur in beasts?
Lu Cheng knew in his heart that the beast's escape was not a single incident and should not be underestimated. Wild beasts breed in the mountains and forests and may shrink the territory of human life. Fortunately, the alienation of beasts is still in its early stages. Humans have powerful guns and can deal with alienated beasts. What if, as time goes by, the beasts turn into monsters and become invulnerable?
He checked his phone and found the contact information of a leader of the National Security Bureau. It was too late at night to make a phone call, so he sent the person a message explaining his worries and what was noteworthy.
As soon as the message was sent, there was a reply: "Received the message, thank you for reminding us, we will organize relevant experts to study it carefully and strengthen the management of zoos and wild animals in the mountains and forests."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Hey, it's midnight, and these people haven't slept yet! As national security personnel, they are all leaders, and they are still working so hard!"
