Chapter 186: The Shock of the Leopard Tribe!

Deep in the dense forest, halfway up the mountainside, the stockade of the leopard tribe hides among them.

The area around the stockade is lush and green, but if you look down from above, you can see that there is a square depression of about 20 acres on the flat land not far from the stockade.

It is very regular, obviously man-made, boxy, the ridges are vertical and horizontal, the seedlings are clustered, and a small river not far away is like a ribbon blowing.

This is the rice field that the leopard tribe tried to plant this year.

At this time, Haoshan was busy on the ridge with the leopard tribesmen, his face full of worry.

Naturally, the concern is about the 20 acres of rice fields.

At the beginning, with the help of the old farmers of Xidu, the planting of 20 acres of paddy fields was impressive, from reclamation to seedling raising, to seedling transplanting, and even to the growth of seedlings later, everything went very smoothly.

Watching the seedlings rise up little by little, the growth is gratifying, the people of the leopard tribe are excited in their hearts, even the people who were originally disdainful of farming have begun to pay attention to the paddy fields, and every day when they come home from hunting and gathering, they will look at the paddy fields a few times to help remove weeds.

After all, no one is at a loss for food.

However, the good times did not last long, with these days the rain did not fall, the paddy fields lacked water, the paddy fields that grew gratifying did not grow, and the young seedlings began to turn yellow, and they were sluggish.

This time it can be a big deal for the people of the leopard tribe.

As a result, there was a spectacular scene of the whole clan going out in unison, fetching water from the river and shuttling back and forth between the farmlands.

The leader said: "Xiaoshan, it is not possible to go on like this, relying on our manpower to irrigate, the farmland is preserved, but the tribesmen are haggard and exhausted, and whoever goes to hunt and gather next, we will also have to eat and drink." ”

The leopard witch sighed: "Yes, this cultivation is not so easy to get, watch the sky and eat, if you are not careful, you will not be harvested, hey, even if the farmland in front of you is harvested, only twenty acres of grain is not enough for everyone to eat."

The leader Song, the leopard and the witch sighed one by one, Haoshan listened to it in his ears, and naturally knew the meaning of their words, we can't play the art of farming, let's do the old business, hunting and gathering, and if you are lucky, you can eat a full meal.

Haoshan was naturally reluctant in his heart, seeing that the seedlings were growing better and better, how could he give up, so he thought about it and said: "Leader, Wu Zhu, I know that it is very important, and I will not let the hunting team not participate in the field work in the future, and then save it, maybe it will rain later!"

Song: "Women and children do a lot of work, and they eat a lot, and we are under a lot of pressure!"

Haoshan looked at the twenty acres of paddy fields in front of him, as if he saw the happy smiles of the clansmen in the future, thinking about it, his eyes became more and more determined.

"Try again, give me three days. ”

Wu Zhu, who was silently silent, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Xiaoshan, forget it, three more days won't help, let's be idle here, it was originally an attempt, it doesn't matter if it fails, don't worry, I and the leader won't blame you, after all, you are still young, I don't know the Tao, in the early years, we also farmed under the order of King Lao Xi, what happened, there was no harvest, heavy losses, and half of our tribe starved to death that year, which was unbearable." ”

Song also followed: "The art of cultivation is unreliable, don't say it's us now, the people of Xidu are also anxious, hey, rely on the sky to eat, it's okay if the wind and rain are smooth, once you encounter a disaster, the end is worse than ours, Xiaoshan, you only see the bright side of the Xidu people, not their miserable side." ”

The two elders took turns to preach Haoshan, word by word, quite insightful, for a while, Haoshan, who was originally strong-willed, also began to deny himself and doubt himself.

Could it be that my Haoshan is really wrong? I insisted on going my own way, and almost led my people to a road of death.

If you don't cultivate twenty acres, but hundreds of acres, and the people spend all their energy on farming, hunting and gathering, then drought comes

Thinking of this, Haoshan broke out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of shame and guilt rose in his heart.

"This"

Haoshan was speechless and couldn't say a word.

Song and Wu Zhu patted Haoshan, and the leader Song clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone stop, save your physical strength, leave it for hunting and collecting vegetables and fruits, and the days will pass!"

The people of the leopard tribe have long lost confidence in the farmland, but they have been working in the fields every day for several months, so they just give up, how can everyone be willing.

So, the excited clansmen found Haoshan.

"Deputy Commander Haoshan, let's just give up? If the farmland stops irrigation, it will die of thirst in a few days, and even if it survives, it is estimated that there will not be much grain to harvest. ”

"You led us to work and spent so much effort, but you can't just do it in vain, you can say something!"

"Yes, can you find a way to save the farmland!"

In the face of the inquiries of the clansmen, Haoshan did not say a word, although he was a qi refiner, he could fight large beasts, and fight fierce beasts and monsters, but in the face of the dry farmland and the excited clansmen, he was completely powerless.

Leader Song smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's disperse, don't embarrass Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan is young after all, he boasted to you about Haikou at the beginning, it was also to help the tribe find a source of food, the heart is good, now the heavens are not beautiful, even the people of Xidu are worried now, what are you doing to embarrass Xiaoshan!"

The clansmen listened to the words of the leader, and they also understood this principle in their hearts, so they were silent one by one, and no longer embarrassed Haoshan.

The leader Song spoke very beautifully, and tried his best to say good things for Haoshan and excuse him, but after he finished speaking, the eyes of the clansmen changed.

The ode to the leader is still the ode to the leader, everyone respects it, and the gaze looking at Haoshan is not as hot as before, and there is only understanding and tolerance.

Haoshan saw everything in his eyes, and he understood that many people who believed in him were shaken in their hearts at this moment, and the prestige of their painstaking management was greatly reduced!

In the past, in the face of this situation, Haoshan would inevitably try his best to redeem his prestige through various efforts, but at this critical moment, he didn't say a word, and the whole person was in a trance.

Is it really wrong?

Haoshan clenched his fists and questioned himself over and over again in his heart.

In an instant, Haoshan felt that everything was boring.

"Since the leopard tribe doesn't need me, I'll go to the king, the king has the grace of knowing me, the world is so big, heroes always have a place to play!"

Haoshan secretly made up his mind.

Dispersed the onlookers, Wu Zhu and the leader Song all turned their heads to look at Haoshan, and when they saw the lost and depressed Haoshan, the two of them were a little unbearable and comforted:

"Xiaoshan, it's okay, young always need to go through something, how can you know the result if you don't try!"

Hao Shan forced a smile, answered in a low voice, and followed the two back to the village.

Before leaving, Haoshan reluctantly glanced at the cultivated land.

It's heart-wrenching to see it,

Haoshan sighed deeply and was about to return to the stockade, when there was a sound of thin ropes in the jungle, as if a huge beast was pulling up the mountain and falling trees!

"Alert, enemy attack!"

The tribesmen of the Leopard tribe went and returned, weapons in hand, and nervous expressions.

"It's your barbarian uncle who is here!"

The barbarian sat down with a fierce beast burning tail and a fire ox, holding a battle axe, majestic, followed by a large group of armor soldiers.

Haoshan naturally recognized the barbarian, so he squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to salute: "Xiaomin has seen the barbarian commander, I don't know what the commander's command is to come?"

Cangman didn't get off the cow, he was condescending, thinking about the direction of Xidu, and arched his hand: "This commander is ordered by the king to bring a carpenter to build a cylinder car for you and others to solve the shortage of water in the paddy fields!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire leopard tribe was shocked, yes, solve the problem of farmland irrigation!

Haoshan seemed to come to life, and asked in disbelief, "Lord Commander, you can't be joking, right?"

Cang Barbarian said disdainfully: "How can this commander be joking, the cylinder car is made by the king, and all the fertile fields in Xidu can be irrigated, you are only twenty acres, what is the fuss!"

Haoshan was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and then looked at the leader Song and Wu Zhu, only to see the two of them looking at each other, unaware of it!
