Chapter 126: Watering Spirit Spring
Among this pile of fruits, apart from the strange-looking durian, the rest are nothing particularly special.
Shen Yu was just thinking about Shen Li's special instructions to him to buy carriages, so he bowed to Bai Jin and said, "Sir, the young lady has other instructions. She ordered me to go buy carriages and other things, so I have to take my leave now!"
He was secretly thinking in his heart: This durian has such a unique smell, I don't want to watch the county magistrate and the other officers make a fool of themselves when tasting it. If they get angry out of humiliation, I'm afraid I'll be silenced!
Bai Jin listened and just casually waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yu hurriedly bowed again, his movements neat and respectful.
Then, he quickly picked up the backpack beside him and rode Chunhua away from the county government office in a hurry.
Along the way, he kept thinking about the appearance of the durian, and silently prayed in his heart that the people in the county government would not be tortured too badly by the durian.
Shen Li happened to have nothing to do that day, so she walked leisurely towards her own fields in the village.
Along the way, her thoughts drifted, and she secretly complained in her heart: I had been thinking of a way to use the spiritual spring water in the pond to irrigate the fields, but for some reason, I always forgot it completely.
Now, in addition to the original ten acres of land, my father later purchased another ten acres. If this large piece of land can be nourished by the spiritual spring water, the harvest will definitely be much better.
Just as she was thinking about it, an aunt from the village saw her and walked towards her quickly with a smile on her face from a distance.
The aunt's face was filled with a simple yet brilliant smile as she greeted them warmly, "Little Li! Thank you so much! My husband has been working for you these past few days and has earned a ton of money. My little Tiger hasn't had meat in ages, so he can finally enjoy it to his heart's content! Also, we've planted all that high-yield grain your father mentioned, and we're eagerly awaiting the bountiful harvest in a few months."
Shen Li responded sweetly: "Auntie, this is what we should do. I am happy that everyone can live a good life."
The aunt took Shen Li's hand and said excitedly: "Li girl, you don't know, since your family built the ancestral hall and school, our village has really changed. In the past, many people in the village could only stay at home idle during the slack season, but now they have work to do and are much more comfortable. Look at Zhang San's house in the village. It used to be shabby, and they are discussing renovations these days.
And Li Si's family bought several new sets of clothes for their son, and the child looks very smart in them."
Shen Li smiled and said, "That's great. I hope everyone's life will get better and better."
The aunt nodded repeatedly, "That's right. The village roads used to be all muddy when it rained, but now the men have organized themselves, brought rocks from the mountains, and repaired the roads. It's not as smooth as the city roads, but at least we don't get muddy anymore."
By the way, after you built the school, some teachers were willing to come and teach there, so the children can go to school. This is all thanks to your family."
Shen Li waved her hand: "Auntie, this is not the credit of my family, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I am also thinking of building a small clinic in the village in the future, so that everyone can have a headache and fever and it will be more convenient."
The aunt's eyes lit up: "Li girl, you are so kind. If we really have a clinic, our village will be more presentable."
After Shen Li exchanged a few words with the aunt, she said goodbye to her. After the aunt walked away, Shen Li looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then quietly walked towards her home and the fields of the Shen family's old house.
She stood at the edge of the field, slightly closing her eyes and concentrating her mind. In an instant, a faint light slowly emerged from her body and spread towards the field.
The spiritual spring water containing magical power, under the control of her thoughts, fell on every inch of land like fine raindrops.
Soon after it was sprinkled, the originally slightly dry soil seemed to be injected with vitality and vigor, and its color gradually became dark and shiny, as if it was greedily absorbing the nourishment of the spiritual spring water.
The areas of the fields planted with corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes suddenly underwent miraculous changes.
The corn seedlings seemed to be under a spell. The originally short stems quickly grew taller and thicker, and the leaves seemed to be inflated, becoming broad and thick, and the color became increasingly dark green. They rustled in the wind, as if singing happily.
The sweet potato vines are like nimble green snakes, spreading and growing wildly on the land. The originally sparse leaves become layered, covering the ground tightly, and each leaf sparkles with the luster of life.
The potato plants are not to be outdone. Their stems have become stronger and their leaves are lush, as if they are trying to accumulate strength and prepare to produce abundant fruits.
Shen Li looked at the changes in front of her, her heart filled with joy and anticipation.
She was well aware of the magical effects of this spiritual spring water. With its help, this field would surely have an unprecedented harvest.
However, she also understood that this matter must be kept secret. If it were known by people with ulterior motives, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
So, after confirming that there was no one around, she quietly left the field and walked briskly towards the mountains. She had already started thinking about how to use the bumper harvest of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes to make the village more prosperous.
