Chapter 57
"Old Fu, what's the matter?" Chen An opened the door, and seeing Old Fu Hai wearing a fur hat outside the door looked sad, so he probably knew it was not a good thing.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, old man, I have been transferred to cultivate new fields. Now I come here to say goodbye to you." Ebi Laofu sighed, leaving a trail of white air in the air.

Winter is approaching, and it is rare for him to be free.

Unexpectedly, within two days of his free time, he received a white envelope from Sima Ling, the steward, asking him to cultivate new fields.

It is this winter that the new fields are being reclaimed, and the spirit stones are distributed normally.

But Ebisoft would rather not have this spiritual stone.

The so-called "difficult road and blue strands" and "overcoming thorns and thorns" refer to the process of opening up fields and reclaiming wasteland.

He had to use magic to clear away all the roots, gravel, thorns, and weeds in the land, and then used magic to nourish the soil fertility. This cycle continued for a winter before this new field could barely meet the standards for farming.

It's just that the time for Lingnong to renew his contract is also in winter.If Hai Laofu still wanted to continue working as a spiritual farmer in Sima's family, he could only accept the job holding his nose.

And he heard that as long as a new field is cultivated once, he will be able to settle down and cultivate the old fields later.

Ebisu was already preparing to say goodbye when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the white envelope Chen An placed on the table. He couldn't help but froze and said a few words: "Why, Chen An, you were also sent to reclaim the wasteland."

Most of the surprises in his words were because Chen An was regarded as a meritorious old man in Lingnong, and the manager didn't give him any favor.

When Chen An heard this, he was also a little annoyed.

Opening up new fields will inevitably squeeze his time for daily practice of making talismans.

It's just that he didn't show it directly, but asked Ebi Laofu sincerely:

"Is there any rule for the steward to send people to reclaim new fields? Could it be because I lack filial piety and management?"

"Hey, we Lingnong, we don't have a way to manage and be filial." Chen An originally thought it was the reason for not managing, but he didn't expect Hailaofu to sigh even more when he heard the words.

Then he began to pour out his bitter words:
"They are all old servants of Sima's family for many years. The trusteeship relationship is forcing their relatives to cultivate the old fields. We new spirit farmers, how can we have a chance to get on the line of management? I want to take care of the old man, so I will find I can't find a place to do something."

Chen An was stunned for a moment. He had devoted himself to farming and making talismans in the past two years, but he rarely paid attention to the affairs of the Sima family.

Silently, the Sima family has expanded several times.

The number of Lingnong has increased by hundreds, and the number of servants serving the young master and miss of the Sima family in the courtyard has also increased by dozens.

The status of the Sima family, in order of precedence, is now Sima Wang, Sima Shishi, the direct lineage of the Sima family, the sideline members of the Sima family, then the family's sons, the old servants with many years of experience, the maids and young servants, and the new servants. , and finally the spiritual farmer.

In a daze, the Sima family is no longer the small family that needs to be friendly and polite with Ling Nongdu.

If there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with Sima Ling, he would be upset, so naturally he would not care about the feelings of these Lingnong.

Hai Laofu looked at his words and knew that Chen An was not willing to plow new fields, so he asked:
"Chen Daoyou, why don't you enter the Sima family's house and find a job, which is much more promising than being a spiritual farmer.

If you continue to be a spiritual farmer, relying on your past achievements, you may become a thorn in the side of the manager.

I heard people say that the steward hinted at you to open a new field last year, but you didn't.

The steward had already arranged for someone to take over the fields you were in charge of, but in the end he had to break the contract in the end, and he lost face for no reason. Hearing my advice from the old man, this is not a long-term solution. "

"It's true." Chen An said thoughtfully.

But he didn't refuse on purpose, but at the time when he was starting out, he was busy taking care of Tai Sui and learning how to make talismans, so he didn't understand the manager's hints, or he deliberately didn't want to understand the manager's hints.

Now that his cultivation base is high, and he really has a skill of survival, he is slow to think about the twists and turns of Lingnong.

As for what Ebony said, "Find a job in the house..." he finally found an excuse and replied:
"I'm not used to the atmosphere in the house, it's better to do some clumsy work like plowing the fields."

After hearing the words, Hai Laofu couldn't say much.

He only thought that what he just heard was that Chen An couldn't do the delicate work of serving people, so he made excuses.

When he left, he walked with his hands behind his back, and he took a figure-of-eight step, humming: "This Lingnong, he deserves to be manipulated."

After Chen An waited for Hai Laofu to leave, he closed the door and was still reminiscing about the previous conversation.

What Hai Laofu said actually has some truth.

His credit is too high, and it would be inappropriate to be a Lingnong again.

The new steward, Sima Ling, is obviously the type who likes to make Ling Nongdu submissive.

However, Chen An relied on his own meritorious service, and if he disobeyed the supervisor, it would be a thorn in the supervisor's eye.

When Lingnong saw that someone was being treated specially, sooner or later he would complain.

In the final analysis, the relationship between Guanshi and Lingnong is the relationship between oppressor and oppressed.

And although Chen An has great kindness to the Sima family, in a sense, great kindness is like great hatred.

If it were a normal path, Chen An would be promoted to a domestic servant and then assigned a leisurely job.

When you are old, you will be an old servant, and the next generation will be a family child.

The hopes of spiritual farmers are nothing more than these.

So many Lingnong are rushing to curry favor with the Sima family because they want the Sima family to last long.

If the descendants can become the sons of the family, their own blood can follow the Sima family forever.

"But it's not my wish to be a servant and let the offspring be the children of the family." Chen An sighed.

If he was still at the second level of Qi Refining and had never awakened the Pearl of Mountains and Seas, then... he probably wouldn't want to be a servant. At most, he would just quietly grow up in the Sima family and then go out to make a living.

Unless he has been so numb for decades, he is naturally unwilling to be treated like a dog by others.

But now that his cultivation level is close to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he has the means to make a living by making talismans, he is even more unwilling.

When he was refining the second level of Qi, he thought how great it would be if he refined the fifth level of Qi.

Now that he is refining the fifth level of Qi, he has already remembered the matter of establishing the foundation.Even the establishment of the foundation, he didn't think it would be his end.

"Qinghefang is still too remote after all. After all, the highest limit of Qinghefang is only foundation building. And staying in a place where the upper limit is only foundation building is absolutely impossible."

For a moment, he had a plan in his heart to leave Qinghefang, but this was only a plan he would implement in the future.

But the seed of leaving the Sima family was planted deeply in his heart and became a deep-rooted thought.

"One more year of cultivating new fields will repay the 'kindness' of the Sima family. Let's start preparing to leave the Sima family." He made up his mind.

Calling it a favor, it's just a worry that he fell out with the Sima family too quickly and made them angry.

People's hearts are separated from each other. He has made great contributions to saving his family, but I don't know how many people think that he has been rewarded for his cleansing.

If you are really forced too hard, it will be like a great favor as a great enmity, but it will easily turn into a situation of no end.

After all, his cultivation was too low.There is no confidence to turn around completely.

But if you want to move, Tai Sui will have to pack it up and raise it in a different place.
