Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Chapter 3



In the yard, He Qiang brought the cucumber over and handed it to Grandma He, motioning her to divide it.

Grandma He did not hesitate and directly broke off half for He Qiang.

The other children each got only a small piece as big as two joints.

But the group of children were already used to it. Their dad had always been so special since they were little, and having opinions would only make Grandma even more unhappy.

Holding the cucumber, if it were in the past, He Qiang would have swallowed it whole without any care.

But now, he did not do that. Instead, he took out a small knife from the kitchen, cut off the outer layer of the cucumber and ate it himself, leaving the tender heart and handed it to Grandma He.

This made Grandma He very happy, and she couldn't stop smiling.

"You eat it, my little boy. I am old and can’t eat these things anymore."

Grandma He waved her hand to refuse.

"It's okay, it's tender, no need to chew."

He Qiang stuffed the tender heart directly into Mrs. He's mouth.

"Our youngest is so well behaved."

Old lady He praised He Qiang.

At noon, after lunch, the children took a nap.

He Tiantian rarely saw her father during the day, and she pestered him and refused to let go. Finally, the old lady got angry and frightened the little girl.

"The weather is getting hot, you should go back and take a nap, Xiaoer. Xiaohua can take care of it here."

Because there are only two rooms in the old house, and there are too many small rooms, the bed is not crowded enough. Grandma He feels sorry for He Qiang and wants him to have a good nap.

"Then, grandma, I'll leave first."

He Qiang nodded and left the old house.

But after returning home, he did not sleep, but rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the slingshot he played with when he was a child.

He was really not good at working in his life, and that thing was really useless to him.

But to say that his skills were useless, it could not be said that way.

He was good at slingshots since he was a child, but he gave it up after he grew up and hung out with bad friends. But after middle age, he picked it up again because of a big change.

I can't say that he can hit the target every time, but he can hit seven or eight out of ten.

In this era, natural resources are still good, he He planned to take the slingshot and do something within his ability.

He pulled the rubber band and found that the elasticity had decreased a lot. Although it was a bit regrettable, it was better than nothing.

After all, he didn't dare to use the shotgun left by his grandfather. That thing had been stored under Grandma He's bed for many years. Who knows if it will explode. He didn't want to have an accident.

He picked up the slingshot, picked up a large plastic water cup with a capacity of 2L, put on a straw hat to protect himself from the sun, put on a backpack and headed for the river.

He needed to collect some pebbles to make stone bullets.

On the way, He Qiang passed by the rice fields at home and was immediately scolded.

"Where are you going to play again, you son of a bitch?"

He Yongjun stood in the field with his trouser legs rolled up and his hands on his hips and called out to He Qiang.

He Qiang stood there and muttered,"I am a son of a bitch, what are you?"

He Yongjun didn't hear what He Qiang was muttering, but just shouted angrily,"You are so idle, why don't you come and weed!"

He Qiang ran away, leaving He Yongjun shouting angrily in the paddy field.

The other cousins in the family were used to this and just pretended not to see it and continued to do their own things.

On the other side, He Qiang ran a long way in one breath, and the more he ran, the more strange it felt to him.

"Hmm? Why don't you feel hot at all?"

Although June is not the hottest season, the temperature will not be low on sunny days, and the southwest region is particularly humid and hot. The saying that the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees for every 100 meters above sea level is completely useless in the southwest region. This is a natural sauna. Even in the area with an altitude of 1,000 meters, the summer is still hot and unbearable, and it makes you feel uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, such intense exercise will definitely make you sweat profusely and feel sticky all over.

But the problem is that the current situation is very abnormal!

The more He Qiang thought about it, the weirder it felt.

In the morning, the sun was not scorching and he didn't feel it. Now is the time when the sun is at its peak, and he didn't feel the sun at all.

Taking off his straw hat, He Qiang even felt a little comfortable.

And as the sun continued to shine, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

He Qiang closed his eyes with a blessing, and a shadow suddenly flashed in his dark mind.

He could feel that this shadow was gradually solidifying, becoming more and more green and bright.

"What is this? ?"

He Qiang was shocked.

Isn't this shadow the same as the strange stone he picked up on the day he drank before his reincarnation?

Could it be that his time travel has something to do with it?

But what is its use?

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had opened up perceptions beyond the five senses.

This unprecedented experience made He Qiang feel very novel.

"This feeling is like……"

He Qiang was a little flustered at first, but after calming down, he suddenly had some enlightenment.

He seemed to be able to communicate with flowers, plants and trees.

He could share their feelings.

This fact shocked him.

Moreover, he found that he could do more than that.

He opened his eyes and stared at the weeds in front of him. He saw that the weeds were swaying wildly as if they were hit by a strong wind. However, the weeds around them were still quiet and did not react at all.

""Fuck, this ability is amazing!"

He Qiang was almost stunned. He could actually control flowers, plants and trees. After my rebirth, I actually had special abilities?

This made He Qiang very excited.

"Sunbathing can collect energy, and this energy can help me communicate with plants and direct them."

He Qiang was ecstatic and ran all the way to the riverbank.

Now was the time when everyone was working, and few people would come to the riverbank.

Moreover, He Qiang changed the object of the experiment to the water plants on the riverbank, which was safer. Even if someone suddenly saw it, they would not find anything unusual!

So, He Qiang began to experiment boldly again.

Standing on the sun���Below, He Qiang squatted on a smooth stone, like a philosopher squatting by the river thinking about life.

As He Qiang's mind moved, the feeling of connection with the plants appeared again.

He felt the turbulence of the water, the trajectory of various creatures in the water, and even the existence of mud and stones in the stream.

The width of the stream was only about three meters. He Qiang tried to expand the range of connection and soon sensed the plants on the rocky beach on the other side of the river.

He sat by the river, 2 meters away from the river surface. The limit of perception was about four or five meters on the other side of the river, and the distance could be estimated.

At the same time, when using his ability, he was also observing the phantom of the emerald green strange stone in his mind.

Through his observation, he found that the energy converted by the strange stone through absorbing sunlight would make the phantom continue to condense and become more green and vivid.

In the case of using only shared perception, the range is expanded to the limit, and the energy consumed is equal to the energy absorbed. The phantom of the strange stone will no longer condense, but it will not change.

If the range becomes smaller, then the speed of collecting energy will be greater than the speed of consumption. Although the speed at which the phantom of the strange stone solidifies will slow down, He Qiang can still feel the subtle changes.

"There is no need to stop using shared perception.

It is summer now, so I don't need to worry about consumption.

But if I command plants, the consumption becomes much greater.

Just the consumption of the last few seconds almost drained the energy accumulated since I left home.

Even if I shortened the time by running, it would take at least several minutes to run from the paddy field at home to the weeds at the village entrance.

This consumption is quite large.

I have to store energy in advance in the future.

"

He Qiang thought about the energy consumption of directing the wild grass to dance, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

Although the energy collected by the strange stone is not much now, he has plenty of time! It was only a little after twelve o'clock when he went out in the afternoon, and he could spend the whole afternoon by the river!

He Qiang stared at the river with a gleam in his eyes.

He sensed that there were many fish in the river through the water plants!

Usually no one in the village comes to fish, that's because it's too tasteless.

That is, there are more fish when the water rises, and no one is willing to catch them at other times.

Even if you use a net, there is not much harvest, and there are too many nets, and the villagers will have opinions.

After all, these days, even if everyone has long been impatient with the big pot meal, if you catch so many fish and bring them back, they will be unhappy if they don't let you confiscate them. If you catch all the fish, what will others eat in the future?

But He Qiang is different, he can let the water plants help entangle the fish!

Originally, fish like to drill water plants, which makes it more convenient for him to catch fish.

Not to mention the other fish, shrimps and crabs in the river.

As long as you don't use a net, no matter how many you catch, the villagers can't say anything to him

"Hiss, pickled fish, crucian carp with spiced garlic, fried shrimp with scallions, spicy shrimp……"

He Qiang was almost drooling.
