On the shore of Chaohu Lake, dozens of old people, women and children are busy cultivating a barren land. In a bush, Zhong Qiu was holding a dead wood branch and drawing small squares on the ground. If one looks closely, they will see that it is exactly the same as the path taken by those who cultivated the fertile land not far away.

Zhong Qiu squatted on the ground and frowned and pondered, the dead branch in his hand pointed around, but it was difficult to fall. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and his tone was full of distress.

"Frowning and thinking about it, what kind of problem are you thinking about?" A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Zhong Qiu raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and couldn't help but be startled, and then a wave of joy emerged from the bottom of his heart and spread: "When did Gongzi come?"

"It's when you lift up the dead branches and paint on the ground, I'm there." Wu Hao looked at Zhong Qiu and explained with a smile that after the martial arts performance in the village yesterday, he thought of the food crisis, so he said goodbye to the Qiang brothers and Wu Hu early in the morning, and came to see Zhong Qiu alone.

When I heard the word "painting", a trace of boredom emerged from the bottom of my heart. Zhong Qiu's brows furrowed again, and he sighed again: "Why is it so difficult to open up fertile land."

"Difficult?". Wu Hao looked at Zhong Qiu, who sighed, and asked him.

Zhong Qiu stood up and pointed to the people working in front of him: "How to dig a ditch, how to divert water, how to connect the ditches."

"You should ask the elders frequently, they will naturally tell you if they are experienced." Wu Hao prompted Zhong Qiu.

Zhong Qiu was slightly stunned, showed a hesitant look, and subconsciously repeated: "Ask the elders?"

"Do you know how Wu Long did it?" Looking at Zhong Qiu, who was gradually falling into deep thought, Wu Hao asked him again.

Zhong Qiu subconsciously shook his head, still thinking about this question in his mind.

Looking at Zhong Qiu who was thinking hard, Wu Hao explained to him: "Some time ago, I went to look for Wu Long and saw that he allowed the people to cultivate fertile land. Do you know why? “。

"Why?". Zhong Qiu looked at Wu Hao and asked him.

Wu Hao organized his words in his heart a little, and continued to explain to Zhong Qiu: "You have a specialization in the art industry, and your Zhong Qiu's ability to kill the enemy in battle is better than those old men and women, but don't forget." When it comes to cultivating fertile land and growing food, you can't compare to them. Wu Long saw this, so he let them reclaim."

"Could it be that Gongzi means to let the restrictions be lifted and the people can reclaim their own land?" Zhong Qiu understood at one point, and asked Wu Hao rhetorically.

Wu Hao used his feet to flatten the traces that Zhong Qiu had just drawn on the ground: "You only need to plan how much area to reclaim, and leave the rest to them to choose."

"I understand it below." Zhong Qiu watched Wu Hao step on the traces on the ground, and then looked at the soldiers in front of him and ordered: "Let the people spontaneously reclaim the fertile land, and we can be on guard."

"No". When a soldier in front heard the order, he turned to Zhong Qiu and bowed to receive the order, and then ran forward.

All 50 soldiers came out of the cultivated land and stood on guard.

Wu Hao looked at this scene and shook his head again: "Ten people on guard can be left, and the rest will assist the elderly and women in cultivating fertile land."

"Ten?". Zhong Qiu couldn't help but look embarrassed, and looked at Wu Hao: "Ten people are too few."

Wu Hao shook his head: "It's not less, but more."

"Chaohu Lake has a lot of water like a cow's hair......". Zhong Qiu voiced his concerns without thinking.

Wu Hao directly interrupted Zhong Qiu's words and asked him rhetorically: "What if there are many water cowards?" How many are there that really pose a threat here? “。

"Childe may not know, there was news some time ago. The white wave thief intercepted and killed my Wu family's grain, but fortunately, Wu Long led reinforcements to arrive, set up an ambush in advance, and shot Bai Lang and his second master. At this time, the white thief must have a grudge, so we have to guard against it." Zhong Qiu slowly explained to Wu Hao, after all, he had been cultivating fertile land here, and the level of information was far less than when he was in the mansion.

Seeing Zhong Qiu say the four words of hatred, the corners of Wu Hao's mouth flashed with a smile: "Do you know why Wu Long rescued in such a timely manner?"

"Why?". Zhong Qiu asked Wu Hao without thinking.

The smile on the corner of Wu Hao's mouth became a little thicker: "Because Wu Hu and I reported to Wu Long in advance."

"Childe and Wu Hu reported in advance?". Zhong Qiu asked in a low voice, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Wu Hao slowly explained the reason to Zhong Qiu: "After you left, I went back to ask my mother for my resignation. claimed to go to Dongcheng to visit his friend Liu Ye, but in fact ......".

Zhong Qiu listened to Wu Hao's narration and gradually fell into deep thought.

When a gust of autumn wind hit and took away the last word in Wu Hao's statement, Zhong Qiu subconsciously sighed: "I didn't expect Gongzi to experience so many things in such a short period of time."

"So, Childe is for the lack of food in the water village?" Without waiting for Wu Hao to reply, Zhong Qiu seemed to react and asked him.

Wu Hao nodded slowly, and looked around at the people in front of him: "There is a lack of food, to be precise, there is a lack of a stable supply of food."

"Didn't Childe say that there is another village in the water village?" Zhong Qiu thought about the experience that Wu Hao had just recounted, and asked him rhetorically.

Thinking of that village, Wu Hao shook his head slowly: "The food produced in the village can only feed the old and weak women and children in the village, as well as three hundred young people. But at this time, there are more than 400 people in the water village, and it is still too difficult to rely on only one village."

"What does that boy want me to do?" Zhong Qiu thought for a moment and asked Wu Hao rhetorically.

Wu Hao said to Zhong Qiu without thinking: "After the harvest here, you will leave the rations of 100 people and hand them over to me to transport to the village."

"Leave rations for a hundred? What kind of excuse did Childe let me stay? “。 Zhong Qiu asked Wu Hao again.

Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought about this matter too simply: "Excuse?".

"Once the head of the family asks, can you let the next tell the family the truth?" Seeing that Wu Hao was stunned, Zhong Qiu asked him.

Wu Hao thought of Wu Gu's character and shook his head without thinking: "Don't."

"That boy ......". Zhong Qiu continued to ask Wu Hao.

Wu Hao didn't wait for Zhong Qiu to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted: "At this time, it is still the season of reclamation, and it is not too late to think of excuses when it is time to harvest."

"It's okay too". Zhong Qiu thought for a moment and replied to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao looked up at the sky: "I need to return to Shuizhai immediately, if there is news at home, you can send someone to inform me."

"Does Childe plan to be the third master of the White Wave Thief all the time?" Seeing Wu Hao's intention to leave, Zhong Qiu couldn't help but ask.

When Wu Hao heard the inquiry, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If it can be the same as I thought, what does it matter if I have been the third master of Bailang Shui Kou?"

After speaking, without waiting for Zhong Qiu to reply, he turned around in the direction he was coming and going, and strode over.
