Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 74 It’s not just about drawing cakes

Smiling, Yi Shuyuan suddenly noticed something strange, then he frowned and thought for a moment, and he understood it instantly.

"Fuck" blurted out in a low voice.

Yi Shuyuan thought that he had not practiced for a long time, after all, the genius had just dawned.

As a result, what he was thinking about was already clear at this moment. A long time had passed since he sat in this library, and now it was night several days after that day.

"No wonder it is said that there is no time in the mountains."

But then I thought about it, and it turned out that I was right to go back to the library, as I had been completely undisturbed for so many days.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was at ease, not obsessed with the victory or defeat in Yuezhou City, and was not even in a hurry to read that bamboo slip.

Instead, he dug out the piece of mountain view nephrite and the carving knife from the corner of the bookcase on one side. Now he could finally carve words.

But Yi Shuyuan did not directly carve words in the library. Instead, he took the bamboo slips and some things, packed them together in a cloth bag, then opened the door and walked out.

——

Outside Tongxin Building, the store clerk was sitting on a bench at the door to rest.

It's still early in the day, and there aren't many foreign merchants recently, and many locals have also gone to Yuezhou City to join in the fun, so the business in Tongxin Building is not as good as in the past.

However, when the store clerk saw Yi Shuyuan coming from the street, he immediately became energetic and stood up and walked out to greet him.

"Mr. Yi, you didn't go to Yuezhou City? But what do you want to eat?"

"I've been there, but I couldn't see any paintings, and the city was too crowded, so I came back."

The shopkeeper who was settling the accounts heard the conversation outside and greeted Yi Shuyuan with a smile when he entered.

"Mr. Yi came so early. What can I have something to eat?"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at the menu cards hanging above the counter and said with a smile.

"Get one of each of the eight delicacies, and buy two pots of Tongxinlou's own brew. After you're done, help me pack it into boxes. I want to take it away."

The shopkeeper nodded and ordered the store clerk to go to the kitchen to prepare immediately, and then looked at Yi Shuyuan.

"Mr. Yi, please sit down and drink some tea first. There is no one in the building now. Can you sit for a while or go back to the county office and I will send someone to take it to you later?"

"I'll just sit here for a while."

Yi Shuyuan looked at the lobby and sat down directly in front of an empty table. Then he took out the mountain view nephrite and carving knife from the cloth bag and looked at the jade.

This piece of nephrite has already cut out a flat area on the head, and the beauty of the tail is also natural, and it looks very beautiful without any further carving.

I hadn't thought about what to engrave before. After all, Yi Shuyuan never planned to engrave his real name on it, but now I figured it out.

There is no need to be arrogant or humble, just think of it and carve it out.

Yi Shuyuan didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't need to write or draw any patterns on the jade surface first. He dropped the carving knife and started carving.

Clusters of scraps fell down as Yi Shuyuan's carving knife stroked, and the scratches also went from shallow to deep.

"call"

Yi Shuyuan blew lightly, and the powder on his fingertips and jade surface floated out of the room with this breath of wind, and the prototype of the words on the front of the seal gradually appeared.

A waiter came over with hot tea, opened the cup next to Yi Shuyuan, and poured him the newly brewed tea.

"Mr. Yi, you have tea."

"Well, thank you."

Yi Shuyuan responded, still focusing on the matter in front of him, and the waiter looked at him curiously.

The traces of the calligraphy are not yet obvious at this time, and the seal-engraved characters are reversed, so the waiter cannot see what the characters are.

"Where is Mr. Yi's engraving?"

"yes."

"You have such a steady hand!"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at the waiter and continued carving, saying.

"Jade is good and cannot be damaged, so it must be more stable."

The waiter nodded, put down the teapot, and went to work on his own. The shopkeeper over there, Kan Yi Shuyuan, stopped disturbing him while he was carving the seal, and went to work on his abacus to settle the accounts.

In fact, no one in the restaurant had ever seen someone carve a seal, and Yi Shuyuan had never seen anyone else carve a seal. Neither of them realized that directly carving like this would be a test for the stability of the seal and the blade of the carving knife.

In fact, Yi Shuyuan's hand was not only steady, but also strong. Every time the carving knife scratched the nephrite, the marks were very deep.

Coupled with the clear grasp of the angle and position, Yi Shuyuan carved the seal very quickly, and wisps of mana were integrated into the seal along the carving knife.

The so-called seal represents oneself to a certain extent, so although this seal is not a refining magic weapon, it has an extraordinary connection with Yi Shuyuan.

Therefore, during the process of seal carving, Yi Shuyuan's mind developed a special bond with the seal.

About half an hour later, the aroma of vegetables from the kitchen became stronger and stronger.

When the waiter came out from behind the curtain in the kitchen carrying a food box, Yi Shuyuan also put away his carving knife.

"Mr. Yi, the food is ready!"

The shopkeeper shouted at the counter, and Yi Shuyuan gently swept away the particles of powder on his clothes and table and stood up.

Others thought that Yi Shuyuan was just temporarily interrupting the seal carving, but in fact, in just such a moment, the seal carving had been completed.

Seeing Yi Shuyuan coming over, the shopkeeper opened the food box and put two porcelain pots of wine in with a smile.

"Mr. Yi, try not to tip over when you take it away. Be careful of the juice spilling out."

"Well, how much?"

The shopkeeper's smile was brighter.

"A total of four hundred and twenty cents."

It was a bit expensive, but Yi Shuyuan thought it was worth it. He had already received two rounds of salary and could afford it, so he happily took off his wallet and took a small ingot of silver and put it on the counter.

The shopkeeper said "wait a minute" and weighed the silver, and gave Yi Shuyuan a dozen more coins as five-tong treasures.

"Mr. Yi, walk slowly!"

Yi Shuyuan took the money and picked up the food box, said "Thank you", then walked out of the door very easily and walked out of the city.

Near the city gate, the previous wanted notices related to Jia Yuntong's case have been replaced by other notices, telling people in Yuanjiang County not to go to Yuezhou City.

However, this kind of thing actually has little to do with ordinary people. After all, it is the busy farming season. Except for those who have ways to make money, ordinary people are busy with things in the fields.

Yi Shuyuan glanced at it and went straight out of the city. There was already a bunch of candied haws in the food box along the way.

On the way back to Xihe Village, the forest land we saw was already lush and green.

Because of the previous case and the subsequent martial arts conference, Yi Shuyuan has not been back for a long time, and now it is the season of growing awns.

It's just that the weather was relatively cold from last winter to the beginning of the year. Due to the weather, this year's spring plowing and sowing were delayed.

The fields along the way have already been plowed and fertilized, and many lush seedlings have even grown close together in some paddy fields.

The seedlings are almost grown, and soon the fields will be busy planting rice.

Now Yi Shuyuan has not only entered into spiritual practice, but his martial arts skills are also good. Even carrying a heavy food box is easy.

Sometimes I move forward slowly without being in a hurry, sometimes I use my body skills to walk quickly, and sometimes I just blend into the breeze and blow into the distance.

When the mind is at ease, the law is natural, and when people are in the world of mortals, they enter the stream of immortality.

Although he was not in a hurry, if he didn't deliberately hold back, Yi Shuyuan's speed was still astonishingly fast, and he reached Xihe Village from the county seat in just over a quarter of an hour.

Even many people in the village did not notice Yi Shuyuan's arrival until he slowed down some distance outside the Yi family's courtyard.

When approaching the courtyard of the Yi family, the little grandnephew who was playing outside spotted Yi Shuyuan first, shouted "Uncle" from a distance, and then ran home.

"Grandpa Uncle is back, Grandpa Uncle is back!"

The first person to greet her at the entrance of the hospital was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao. She had a bright smile on her face and walked out of the hospital holding her grandson's hand.

"Oh, uncle, you are back. I heard that the county government is very busy these days. Are you tired?"

The money A Fei gave her last time made Zhao happy for a long time. Now that she saw Yi Shuyuan again, she became even more enthusiastic.

But now Yi Shuyuan's mentality is different. Regardless of whether Zhao is sincere or pretentious, he can't be called disgusted, or he can't really talk about his inner turmoil.

"Brother!" "Uncle!"

Yi Baokang and his niece-in-law Li came out to greet each other one after another, one excited and the other shy.

Yi Shuyuan entered the courtyard carrying the food box. The table in the main room was still the one with wooden sticks tied to it after it collapsed last time, but it was obviously strong, so Yi Shuyuan put the food box on it.

Now that the weather is not cold, the main room is always more spacious than the kitchen, but Yi Shuyuan looked around and did not find Yi Yongan.

"Where's Yong An?"

"Dad is chatting with people setting off nets by the river."

Yi Shuyuan looked at his grandnephew, smiled, put his hand into the food box, and then quickly pulled it out. In the child's eyes, a string of red things appeared like a magic trick.

"Candied haws!"

"Oh, why is there an extra bunch of these? Adults don't like to eat them. Who are they giving them to?"

"Uncle, uncle, give it to me, give it to me -"

The child was picking up Yi Shuyuan's clothes and jumping to catch the candied haws.

Yi Shuyuan stopped making trouble and directly gave the candied haws to the child.

"Go, call your father back, tell him that the hard food from Tongxinlou is here, and tell him it will be gone if it's too late!"

"Um!"

The child happily ran out the door holding the candied haws, but stopped immediately.

"It's too late? Then I won't call my dad!"

Damn it! Such filial piety, Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but grin. Yi Baokang and Zhao next to him were also happy, and even Li covered her mouth and kept smiling.

"Hahahahaha, go and call him quickly, your uncle is joking with you!"

"Go ahead and eat when you come back!"

"Don't lie to me!"

After saying this, the child ran out quickly.

I don’t know how Yi Yongan came back, but he was very fast anyway.

Yi Shuyuan felt that the laughter in the yard had not finished yet, when he saw Yi Yongan rushing back with his child in one hand and a fish in the other.

"Uncle!"

This cry of surprise was considered sincere. Yi Shuyuan smiled "hehe", blinked and made a "you know" look, and then finally opened the lid of the food box.

Immediately, the aroma wafted up from the white air inside and spread. From the county seat to Xihe Village, the dishes were still hot.

"Tongxinlou Bazhen, come on, come on, bring the bowls and chopsticks, we're starting!"

As an uncle, I can’t just draw cakes!

"Hey, I'll get it. I'll keep this fish for now and cook it tonight!"

Some people went to get the bowls and chopsticks, some helped bring the plates out carefully, some set up stools, and some just stood around and shouted.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan felt very warm, and it felt a little like home.

And in this peaceful scene, the spiritual energy in Yi Shuyuan's body was beating brightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy was active. It was not a spiritual practice, but it was better than a spiritual practice.
