Chapter Seventy-Six: The Seed
The villagers sat on the steps. The torches planted beside them www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion danced with a dark red light, illuminating their desperate and pathetic expressions.
It was already dark, and the village roads and fences were rarely planted with torches, and they were close to death, so they were not frugal at this time. They seem to be waiting for the last hope that a woman can follow the torch into their field of vision, or in the last life to illuminate the path that she often takes.
It was too dark for them to find their way.
The villagers waited for the attack of the armored troops.
Unarmed, with no weapons, and no crystal cannons in the village, it was impossible for them to resist a fully armed army. If they don't resist and fight back, then ...... The dead may be a little more ordinary and not be abused too much, right?
The last few dozen villagers sat around the small flower bed in the center of the village. From this location, you can see the fence on the outside of the village. You can also see when the armored men will come over and raise the blade in their hands to them.
Even if the villagers knew that they would fall here today, they would not die in their homes, lying in bed and being stabbed by the enemy. Instead, they stood in the middle of the village, leaving their children in their rooms, hoping that when the army entered the village, or when the houses were torn down, they would focus on them and ignore them.
If the house is washed out, the children who stay in the safe basement can survive and rely on the help and guidance of one or two knowledgeable adult villagers to rebuild the village......
Who doesn't want to survive the catastrophe? This is the last powerless effort......
The villagers, who were sitting together in despair, saw a man walking slowly outside the fence.
Male farmers?
The farmer didn't know when, but he had already walked out of the fence, and now he was back in the village. Did he want to try to break through the attacks of the wild beasts outside the fence?
The man's clothes were torn and stained with mud. The whole body is wet. My hair is even dirtier than I saw it not long ago.
The villagers shook their heads. They understood that with their barren bodies and lack of knowledge, it was impossible to break out of their villages to another civilization. Even though it's much better than here, it's a great thing to look for. However, this ideal and aspiration does not mean that it is or can directly become knowledge and strength.
The farmer walked up to them and said in a hoarse voice: "He will not come."
The villagers looked at the male farmer with confused and cloudy eyes. The sad look made the male farmer's heart ache, the village was still small, and the neighbors helped each other, and they had already become a family. But even if he is very uncomfortable in his heart now, he must say what he should say. After all, life and farming in the village will continue.
Suspicion should also cease immediately, return to the original path, and continue to develop again until the right time comes.
The farmer pulled out a bag of fine linen strips from his clothes.
There's a handful of seeds in there.
Subsequently, the male farmer slowly explained the woman's behavior today.
The woman quietly set off with her bags in the middle of the night last night. She searched in the dark for her way home. That's right, that man is her brother, and what the armored man said about going back is the home she went back to.
The woman is also from the valley of the peak!
However, after the woman returned, she did not stay for too long, but swore a contract at home. After this contract was signed, he was allowed to come out for as long as a day...... Of course, the armored man, her brother, needs to be watched and followed all the time.
It's a little strange here. Why do women come out again when they go home?
What did she want to do? She was collecting the seeds of a plant. That's the seed of the waterseed fruit.
Waterseed grass grows on the edge of mountain streams. Although the demand environment is not harsh, the way and law of its reproduction are extremely difficult to be controlled. There are no seeds in the fruit of the waterseed grass that can continue to the next generation, and no matter how much the ripe fruit is removed, dried, and sifted, it is impossible to extract the seeds that can be used.
Because, its seeds are present on the leaves. The little white dots on the leaves are its seeds. Not only that, but once the leaves are picked during the ripening of the seeds, they lose their original survival effect. Even if you get back the leaves of the waterseed fruit, or the whole plant, you can't grow it smoothly.
The waterseed grass that grows on the edge of streams has its own unique way of propagating: when the seeds are ripe, they fall into the water flow on the side. Swim between streams with living water.
When the time is ripe, the seeds of the waterseed fruit will be planted between the soil on the side, take root and sprout, and continue to grow long rhizomes. Break through the soil a few centimeters long and emerge smoothly.
The male farmer glanced at the villagers, and after the premise was finished, the woman's purpose was completely revealed: if you want to collect the seeds in the waterseed grass, you have to wade into the water to find the seeds that have been soaked in the living water of the mountain stream for a day!
The cautious voice continued: "Seeds must be floated in living water for a long time before they can germinate effectively, and those seeds that are slightly larger than the tip of the wheat must be found one by one. At the same time, it is not certain that the seed will be used properly!
Not to mention the extremely deep pools downstream, where the seeds sink downstream into the sediment and mix with the fine sand, and you can't find them at all!
Only then did the villagers emerge from their godless state. They had just heard the male farmer say they were saved, and the woman had finally helped them?
Outside the fence closest to them, at some point, the man in armor was already standing, standing there with a cold face. Beside them, the drenched woman beckoned to them kindly, and when they noticed them, she turned and followed the man out of the place.
The villagers were speechless. If a woman sees a scene at home, even if she has a good tolerance, she will look at them angrily. Perhaps, just maybe, if yesterday, they were so rudely abusive to women, then what would women do the next day?
With the ease of the rest of the catastrophe and the deep guilt in my heart.
It's time for rethinking. So thought of the villagers.
As for later. Villages have resumed their farming cycle. Survive day by day.
The male farmer also dug a ravine from the mountain to drain the mountain spring according to the woman's instructions. Although it took a long time, and the trench was not large. But this thin stream is the living water of the upper part of the source, enough for the waterseed grass to grow.
The male farmer was very careful to lay gravel under the mud. The stones are still angular, and with the constant washing of the water, this place will become the same as in the forest.
The village is no better than the clear springs in the mountains of the jungle outside. Therefore, there are not many waterseed grasses planted, and the yield rate is not very high. However, try to save a little bit of use, and you can still supply the needs of the village. I usually eat almost it, and I don't use this fruit as the main ingredient. And when it's time for the festival, the sauce that has been dried and ground into powder is taken out. For a truly complete formulation.
The sauce has been infiltrating the villagers ever since. As long as it is a person of that generation, whether men, women or children, there is no one who does not know how to mix and make sauce. As a result, the sauce began to continue and was passed down......
"That's amazing!" Leah applauded for Lili. A girl who is usually a little shy and afraid of life can also tell a smooth and smooth story. Not only to applaud her courage, but also to encourage her.
"Thank you. She smiled shyly. She has heard this story since she was a child, and she has heard it many times. Perhaps in the course of her life, this story is the only one that allows her to rummage through her memory and retell it clearly.
As the number of people in the class slowly increases. Leah felt like she could go back. She moved her chair back into its place and sat down and waved to her.
When Tutor Sang finished class in the morning, although he said that their physical fitness was too poor, he did not continue to explain the reason, or let them do something first and prepare more work in the afternoon. Of course, after all, Instructor Sang has explained since yesterday that they need strong physical exercise, and they don't need to go to the class to assemble in the future, but go directly to the ground.
That being said. However, Leah can't go to the underground area alone. As Ellie's attendant, he had to wait in the class first, and when Ellie and the others returned, they would go underground to meet with the people in the class.
Leah looked around, and the same scene was true.
It is not yet time slot for the afternoon class. Although the number of people in the class is slowly increasing, that is, not many people have the intention of going downstairs. Instead, they talked and laughed with their classmates in their seats.
How tired it is to stand downstairs, and there is no place to sit. Even if there is, it is just resting against the wall, how can there be a comfortable classroom. And the upstairs air is ventilated and not stuffy. In addition, the sun is blocked, you can bask in the sun by the window, or you can avoid the sun, and feel the cool breeze in the corridor comfortably.
How pleasant.
And, if you had gone downstairs earlier, there might have been a couple of mentors standing there and instructing you to do a favor and carry something. What are the things in the academy that need help to be lifted? But they are all large tools, overweight array tools, and machinery the size of half a house! Can a few low-level students afford it?
Therefore, most students are reluctant to go to the formation in the afternoon.
Of course, in addition to those, there are still some good students who are willing to go underground in the afternoon to do some exercise and give priority to warming up. Or take a competition underground.
Although the lower divisions can fight in a small area, only in the middle area, they can also accommodate some people. If you have nothing to do, it is better to go to the quiet environment of the underground to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of practice, and even have a certain level of communication with other classes.
The story of her memories has made time pass a lot. Ellie and Nina had already walked through the school gate, and under Leah's watchful eye, they walked into the aisle on the left.
Behind them was Ai Wei, who looked relaxed after a trip. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he pouted. Looking at this mouth shape and look, it is estimated that he is whistling.
"Leah, you're back. Nina walked up to Leah and said with a smile, "Just now Eri praised me for my great improvement in cooking! ”
Ai Wei on the side also nodded with a straight face.
Look at your. Leah gave him a disdainful look. Just one lunch can make you arrogant.
Without further ado, the afternoon class was about to begin, and on the way back, although Nina and Ellie didn't take much time. However, due to business or other things, most of the current family members are not there at noon, and many things need to be prepared by themselves.
So it took a while to get over the remnants after the meal. For example, clean the plate of food, or dispose of the remaining food.
In addition, Ellie has limited mobility, and only Nina and Aiwei can deal with it. But Ai Wei is not very familiar with housework and is always clumsy. This also led to most of the burden on Nina, and the aftermath was delayed for a long time.
After the five of them gathered, they were ready to go downstairs to class.
The students in the class saw that it was not too early, and they also started to act one after another.
