0944, a barren world
Life in Dongxing Village is really hard.
The villagers did not dare to leave the village too far, and the wilderness was full of dangers, not only wild beasts, but also monsters, so that for a large part of the time, the trade routes were basically cut off, and everything depended on self-sufficiency- This is very understandable, a small village like Dongxing Village, does not have any resources, nor does it have any special products, except that poverty is poor, except for the annual conscription, there will be an army from the town of Yuzhen, there are no merchants interested in this kind of small village, because it bears a huge risk of traveling back and forth and has no benefits at all.
There is only less than 100 acres of barren land in the village, and it is planted with a crop called summer millet, because this plant has the lowest requirements for soil fertility, the highest yield, and the easiest to satie, which can basically feed the whole village, while some other crops, one is the lack of seeds, and the other is that although the taste is good and the nutrition is high, the yield is low and too labor-intensive, so I dare not consider it at all, and only a small amount of planting.
Most of the villagers don't have enough to eat, if it weren't for the fact that the aura of heaven and earth in this world is really strong, resulting in the innate physique of the human race, it is difficult to survive in such an environment.
In addition, there is another reason, which is a major factor that Dongxing Village and even all the small villages of the Terran in the Chaos World can always survive, that is, the conscription of the army, will select excellent soldiers in the village, go to the frontline battlefield and fight on the border, basically gone forever, poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream, resulting in the population base of many villages has not changed much, so such a barren land can feed generations of people.
In addition, marriage has always been a top problem in small villages in the wilderness.
The dangers of consanguineous marriage have long been known, so it is impossible for people in the same village to marry, and every year the military organizes a large-scale event similar to a blind date, and the army escorts men and women of appropriate age to gather together for a blind date and determine the marriage in a short time.
In short, in Li Mu's understanding these days, the human race in this world is really working very hard to reproduce.
In fact, not only the human race, according to Columbus, the golden hen, all races living in the chaotic world are very hard.
The cruel natural conditions determine the cruelty of survival.
The Terrans were supported by the military department.
If you say it sounds good, it's the military department, and if you don't say it well, it's a warlord.
There are seven warlord groups in the human race, which are derived from the nine major legions that were sealed in this world in the past, and although there are internal conflicts, they are generally united and united with the outside world.
It is worth mentioning that the military has always done a good job of protecting civilians, because even the most stupid warlords understand that without the support of civilians, the army will become a tree without roots and a source of water.
But in the final analysis, there is another divine object that supports the reproduction of the human race, that is, the immortal tree.
Only where the immortal tree grows can there be a human settlement.
This kind of sacred tree can dispel the darkness of the night, can also defend against the invasion of wild beasts and monsters, has a mysterious effect, it is said that a human race ancient power brought back the seeds from the fairy world, to cultivate this kind of can be called the foundation of the human race of the sacred tree, and this power is also immeasurable, called the human father god.
The immortal trees in some big cities have a diameter of hundreds of meters with a main pole and a crown of branches and leaves stretched out for thousands of meters, and at night, the divine light emitted is enough to stretch for thousands of miles, which can be said to be a blessing, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a real tree god.
The main city of the seven major warlord groups all had no less than one giant immortal tree.
The size and lushness of the immortal tree determine the prosperity of the Terran settlement.
For example, the immortal tree in Dongxing Village, although it has been for some years, but because it is not lush enough, it has begun to decay, so it is not very valued, which also leads to the sparse population of Dongxing Village, the soil is poor, and the villagers live a miserable life.
Moreover, in the realm of chaos world
The year is divided into four seasons, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, but only two seasons - the warm season and the cold season.
The warm season is equivalent to about three months on the earth, crops are planted and grown rapidly during this time period, and then harvested and stored, while the cold season is equivalent to nine months on the earth.
People prepare to store food for the arrival of the long cold season in the warm season, if they can't store enough food to support the cold season, it is likely to starve to death and freeze to death.
In addition to being able to shelter the human race, the Immortal Tree also has a special ability-
Bear fruit.
The inside of the fruit can be cut out of the baby.
Generally speaking, it takes one month from flowering and fruiting to maturity.
After the baby is cut out of the fruit, it can grow into an adult at twenty months, and it can generally open the memory of its past life, and it has supernatural martial arts, this kind of person is called the chosen son, and it is generally picked up by the army, and it is easy to become an officer.
However, this kind of thing is rare for the immortal tree to bear fruit, and there is no pattern.
In some villages, the long-lived trees may not bear fruit throughout their lives, some thriving tree gods may only bear fruit once a year, and in some small villages, the long-lived trees may bear fruit several times a year, or even several at the same time.
The arrival of Li Mu and Columbus made all the villagers of Dongxing Village extremely excited.
But this news can only be passed on when the annual conscription team arrives, and generally speaking, it takes a lot of time for the chosen child to go from infancy to adulthood, so there is no hurry to pass it on.
It was because of the fertilization of the grass and wood ash of the gourd shell that Li Mu and Columbus produced after their arrival that the immortal trees in Dongxing Village finally became lush and green, and became vibrant, and suddenly got rid of the original state of frequent death, causing the soil in the village to become fertile.
Seeing that there can be a good harvest this year, the whole village is very happy.
Li Mu, who brought good luck, and Columbus, the golden hen, were liked and approached by all the villagers.
"There is still a month to go before the cold season, and this summer millet harvest is abundant, so we don't have to venture into the wilderness to pick weeds and wild vegetables and hunt, the millet is enough to survive the cold season, and we can finally have a safe cold season." ”
At dinner in the evening, Second Brother Feng said to his family with a happy face.
"Oh, that's great. Xingyan held the golden hen in his arms and jumped up excitedly.
She is also sensible now, last year, because of the lack of summer millet, the villagers went to the wilderness to search for food and hunt, and as a result, there were many prime of life, gone forever, buried in the wild forever, at that time, Xingyan and her mother looked at the village every day, with an expectant and desperate mood, waiting for the return of their father and husband.
Second Brother Feng is the captain of the hunting team in the village, and one of the three strong men, in last year's adventure hunting, he was also seriously injured, and he came back to raise it for half a year before he healed his injury.
Second sister-in-law Feng also said happily: "Yes, this year, everyone finally doesn't have to go to the wilderness for adventures." ”
Li Mu held a porcelain bowl in his hand and ate coarse millet rice.
He has now cultivated to the realm of the Broken Void, and his cultivation has recovered a lot, and the Fengyun Continent Sword Technique Combat Technique that he has studied and honed is even more powerful, and with the Four-Bladed Wounding God Knife, his combat power has far surpassed that of when he was on Earth.
However, Li Mu did not show his cultivation in front of the villagers, but only vaguely revealed some strength comparable to that of Second Brother Feng.
With his cultivation, he didn't need to eat for a long time, but he still ate and chatted with Second Brother Feng's family every day.
This kind of small warmth has a certain gain for Li Mu's state of mind cultivation and innate cultivation.
The atmosphere in the entire Dongxing Village was very harmonious and harmonious, which made Li Mu feel as if he had returned to Randeng Temple Village.
Li Mu's strength has recovered a lot, but he is not in a hurry to leave Dongxing Village.
One is that he is not familiar with the road, but he still wants to improve his cultivation for some more time.
Looking for Wang Shiyu's two souls and six souls, it is a protracted battle, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Li Mu is ready to take advantage of this rare cultivation time to completely improve the cultivation to the peak of the emperor's realm, and when the army recruits, join the army, the chosen one can become an officer, and when the time comes, with the identity and rights of the officer, it will be more convenient to find.
Three days passed.
"Oh no, the summer millet in the village has worms. ”
There was a panic in the village.
No one thought that the summer millet was about to be harvested, but it suffered a sudden strange insect plague, and by the time the villagers reacted to the rescue, the reduction of millet production has become inevitable.
"God, is this a deliberate attempt to destroy my Dongxing Village?" the old village elder burst into tears.
Many of the villagers cried.
There is not enough food, and the cold season is less than a month away, which is undoubtedly fatal for the villagers, and many people will starve to death.
"The yield of millet has been reduced by one-half, hey, there is no choice but to take advantage of the cold season to go to the wilderness to search for food and find a way to hunt. Second Brother Feng stood up and said with a solemn face: "You have to hurry up and prepare, who wants to go with me?"
The second sister-in-law of Feng hugged Xiao Xingyan and almost cried.
"Dad, Dad, I don't want you to go to the wilderness, I don't want you to get hurt again......" Xiao Xingyan also reacted, crying.
Even a three-year-old child understands that going to the wilderness to search for food is a life and death.
More than 30 young people in the village came forward one after another, and everyone's face showed a tragic color.
Second Brother Feng looked at everyone and said, "If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, quit." ”
There were twenty-five people left.
Second Brother Feng said again: "If you marry a daughter-in-law but don't have a baby, go back." ”
Sixteen people remained.
Second Brother Feng said again: "The baby is not more than three years old, go back." ”
There were still twelve people left.
Second Brother Feng looked at one of the twelve young men and said, "Fengmo, your kid doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, go back." ”
"No, I'm going with you, I'm a bachelor, it doesn't matter if I die, I'm going to find food for everyone. The young man stubbornly held his head high.
"My baby is still two months and three years old, so I'll go too. ”
"I'm going too, let's go a few more people to find more food. ”
"Anyway, I was already lame and blind in one eye last year, so let me follow, even if it's to help you carry food. ”
Many villagers are scrambling to join.
Although they also know that this is going to be a life of death.
Li Mu watched from the side, and couldn't help but sigh, in an extremely difficult life, the human race is so huddled together for warmth, willing to dedicate, so that the entire race, in this world, can reproduce and survive, these are the greatest people.
