Chapter 22: Clearing the Wasteland
The snow and ice melted, and the forest, which had been a whole winter, gradually bloomed into a colorful color after a few spring rains.
On the hillside, all kinds of wildflowers bloomed under the hawthorn tree, and after Miao Miao set up the beehive, she took out the honey water to feed the bees. When the weather gets warmer, it's spring season. But early spring is still chilly after all, so you have to do some insulation work.
Feeding honey water can make the bees excited to disperse, raise the temperature in the hive, and when the honey is dispersed, the spleen can be tightened. In this way, it can not only promote the queen bee to lay eggs quickly, but also prevent the invasion of the cold wave in early spring, prevent the oviposition circle from freezing, make the honey develop healthily, and also allow a part of the honey to rest and prolong its life.
After doing this, take out the hay that you have prepared in advance and put it under the beehive, and stuff weeds between the two boxes, so that the insulation work is completed.
The Ziling bee queen caught last year is very healthy, Miao Miao estimates that as long as she is patiently fed, this queen bee can survive for ten or eight years. No, in order to make the queen bee work harder and let the worker bees work happily, she also put some spirit stones in the beehive.
She had a lot of property in her previous life, and there were a lot of spirit stones. Leaving aside the three or four thousand lower-grade spirit stones, she also has one thousand middle-grade spirit stones, one hundred top-grade spirit stones, forty-six top-grade spirit stones, and twelve spirit crystals.
Wherever this wealth is placed, it is a huge amount of money. Therefore, she is not short of spirit stones. Putting a low-grade spirit stone in the twenty-four beehives can make these honeys grow stronger, and it would be great if any lucky person opened up their spiritual wisdom because of this!
It is said that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning. The snow has melted and the weather is getting warmer, but Miao Miao is not as idle as in winter, and there are many things waiting for her to do.
The land must be cultivated, the seeds must be raised, and the pine branches used to breed the fish fry must be prepared in advance.
Go down the mountain, return to the vicinity of the camp, swing the Shadowless Sword, cut down the trees, and dig a pit around it. The cultivation has gone up, and the strength is also great, so I have to open a few acres of land this year.
Clearing wasteland is a troublesome task, even for monks. First, you have to set it on fire, and then turn over the earth. In order to prevent the fire from spreading, it is necessary to dig a fire ring like a ditch.
Miao Miao didn't have a fire spirit root, so it was naturally difficult to do such a thing. Fortunately, she has fire crystals. After finding some hay and pine resin, he threw the fire crystal into it, and the fire burned.
During the whole process, Miao Miao had been watching from a short distance. The forest gave her the capital to live, and it was her home, so she had to take good care of it.
After the fire had passed, the earth was turned up again. With her hands on the ground and her mouth silently chanting a spell, she sprung up in a moment and all the weeds and roots in the ground came out and piled up in front of her.
Removing weed roots was not difficult for her, and the rest of the work had to be done by her and Duobao.
Duobao held the wishful stick, Miao Miao held the shadowless sword, and one person and one monkey turned the earth with the only metal object in their hands. It is true that Jiang gave the iron block, but she does not have the fire spirit root, and the fire of Duobao's natal life has not awakened, where can she make her own farm tools? Besides, there is no condition to build an iron house at the moment, so she can only pay attention to it like this.
Fortunately, she is a wood spirit root, and she can make wooden objects act according to her own wishes, so when she is reclaiming, she can also use this power to roll out a giant tree from the soil at every turn, which can be regarded as reducing the burden of work.
This time she had more land to cultivate. The main thing is that her physical fitness has improved now, and in the process of reclamation, she also uses her physical skills in it, which can be regarded as cultivation in disguise. He Duobao worked hard for a day and reclaimed twenty acres of wasteland, and the efficiency seemed to be quite good.
Monks are good, they are efficient in farm work!
Miao Miao drank water and sat on the ridge with a look of regret.
It's good to have your own earth spirit roots. Combined with the combination of earth, wood and spiritual roots, with the current cultivation, it is estimated that two or three hundred acres of wasteland can be reclaimed in one day.
Alas, sure enough, it would be nice if the seniors were here!
So......
His own pair of spiritual roots are simply waste materials in this world, right? No wonder Jiang sympathized with himself so much after hearing that he only had Shuimu spiritual roots. After all, there is too much spiritual energy here, and in such a situation, of course, the more spiritual roots, the better!
On the second day, Miao Miao came to the field again, and the trees she had cut down yesterday were still piled up on the periphery, and she wanted to use them to make a fence so that no animals would enter and spoil her field. In addition to that, she had to get a few wooden people in the world to scare away some birds.
She left some seeds for last year's grain, which was enough to sow 20 acres of land. It's just that it's not yet time to raise seedlings, so this matter can be put on hold for now, and it is the right thing to go and dig some ditches first.
was busy in the field, and suddenly felt the formation change, frowned slightly, and immediately went back.
From a distance, when he saw Jiang standing outside the formation dressed in black, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Jiang!"
It was Jiang who looked up and saw Miao Miao's sword coming down, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.
Miao Miao fell to the ground and said with some excitement: "Jiang, why did you come here so early? I thought that at least I had to wait until the peach blossoms bloomed." ”
It was Jiang who looked at her, and felt that today's Miao Miao was very unusual.
Because she had to work in the field, Miao Miao wore a light orchid embroidered with orchids. And her jet-black hair was also all curled up by her, and it was curled into a round hair bun above her head. On the way to the field, I saw that the wildflowers were blooming well on the road, so I picked yellow wildflowers and inserted them into the hair bag.
At this time, due to labor, the hair on the forehead has been wet with sweat, and the bun is a little loose, but in the eyes of Shi Jiang, such Miao Miao is even more delicate and cute.
He couldn't help but think, if his sister was still alive, she must look good dressed like this, right?
Women rarely wear short hairs, which is very nondescript in the eyes of the world. But there is an indescribable harmony on Miao Miao's body, as if she should wear it like this, and people can't take their eyes off it when they look at it.
Her face was as smooth as jade, her two black obsidian-like eyes were shining at this moment, and the shallow pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was even sweeter as if she was about to drown someone. Shi Jiang glanced at it a few times, and felt that the roots of his ears were a little red. Slowly lowered his eyes, avoiding Miao Miao's hot gaze, and said softly: "Well, I'm afraid you'll be lazy, so I came early." ”
"Poof!"
Miao Miao smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and beat it on Shi Jiang's chest and said, "Jiang, you don't lie at all, this excuse is so clumsy!"
As she spoke, she took two steps forward, tried to stand on tiptoe, held her hand into a half-cylinder and attached it to her ear, and said with a wink: "Tell me, do you miss my wine here?"
