Chapter 436 Support of the Xuanyuan Kingdom (II)
Grandpa Su finished laughing, and he asked the old man, "May I ask what you are looking for this person named Huo Wen for?" ”
"Oh, that's because we have a prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Grandpa Su didn't understand a little, what does the prophecy have to do with them looking for Huo Wen?
"Yes, prophecy." Speaking of this, the old man's face became serious: "In the prophecy passed down by our family, a human named Huo Wen will save our Xuanyuan Kingdom in a catastrophe that will destroy the world. ”
"Apocalypse?"
Grandpa Su was very curious about this matter, but he also had to pay attention to his identity, so he added: "I seem to have heard it somewhere..."
"Speaking of this world-destroying catastrophe, in fact, I don't know very well, I only know that this is a thing that will happen to both the original realm and the other world, if it really happens, then these two worlds may return to chaos."
"No one is immune!"
Grandpa Su listened, but he was still wary of this old man, because Huo Wen was still too important now.
"This Huo Wen, we will look for it again when we go back, thank you again for your gift."
"Where, then we'll quit first."
"Slow down and don't send it."
"Haha~"
The old man smiled as he left with those people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Grandpa Su noticed one point, that is, among this group of people, only the old man was a human-faced snake-body, and the others were no different from humans.
It's a little strange why a race has two forms.
It's not like Caucasian, black, and yellow people have different skin, eyes, and hair.
They are completely different in physiology, but they can still be called a race, and they coexist peacefully.
"The moat is almost finished."
The people next to Su Lao looked at these gifts from Xuanyuan Kingdom and sighed.
"When the moat is developed, we can start planting rice, so we don't have to work hard to gather and hunt."
"Of course it's needed, and you can't afford to leave the battle behind."
"Alright, take these things with you, let's go back."
Su Lao put his hands behind his back and left with people.
"Okay, Su Lao."
...
Huo Wen here woke up from sleep and had breakfast as usual, in order to break through the ground level in the past few days, he gave up the matter of cooking to Deng Feng, Su Yi and Xiao Jing.
Now, he opened his temporary field dwelling and came to the construction site of the moat.
The moat was about to be completed, and he told Grandpa Su that he wanted to go for a walk.
After cultivating for seven days in a row, Huo Wen couldn't stand this kind of boredom anymore, he only stayed in a wild residence and didn't ask about the world, and he thought a little too much about things like aliens and beasts in his heart.
It's like a boyfriend who doesn't come home late, and the girlfriend stays alone in the room and doesn't get news, and always thinks about it.
And now, what he wants to see most is the results of Li Yuanchao's rice planting.
That afternoon, the moat was finally completed, and he was relieved of his post as overseer
After being liberated, he went to Li Yuan and went to them, and they still planted rice in the cave, but those grain seeds had been moved out and the wasteland was being reclaimed.
There are basically no alien beasts in the moat, and there is no disturbance from aliens, and there is also the protection of the ram, they are safe now.
Huo Wen came to the cave, but did not find Li Yuanchao, but saw the green rice seedlings in the cave.
"This is the color of life." Looking at these rice seedlings, he couldn't help but sigh after cultivating for seven days in a row in a somewhat dim wild dwelling.
Then he left the place and went to look for them by a river.
Sure enough, here, he found the 'labor camps' who were being cultivated.
They are watched by a team of goats, cutting down trees, removing weeds, and digging ditches.
Speaking of which, some people may have questions, aren't they capable of doing their jobs?
Why didn't you look for a job before, but took a risk and chose to sell alcohol?
Indeed, they can grow rice and make wine, which shows that they are not the kind of wounded people who are paralyzed in bed and cannot move.
But.
If you were an ironworker, would you be willing to take a worker with a broken foot?
If you were a tailor, sewing leather armor, would you be willing to take a worker with only one arm?
You won't.
So, the reason why these people can't find a job is here, it's not that they can't do it, it's that no one gives them a chance.
"Hi, good afternoon, Commander."
Li Yuanchao put down the axe, wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder, and said hello to Huo Wen.
"Good afternoon." Howen responded.
"By the way, have you started growing rice in these places?"
"It's already started, in another place." Li Yuanchao responded enthusiastically: "If the commander wants to see it, I can take you to see it, provided that I have to talk to those people." ”
"That's no problem, let's go, I'll accompany you."
Huo Wen nodded, and went with Li Yuanchao to find those people from the Mountain Rock Guard.
They say it's surveillance, but in fact they're just making a show.
These wounded soldiers had fought for Yangcheng before, and they had been born and died, so they had come to this point, and the people of the Goat Guard would not look down on them.
On the contrary, both sides have bought their lives for Yangcheng, and there are many topics.
No, when Huo Wen found them, they were discussing with these 'labor prisoners' whether it was better to grow corn or potatoes.
"I think medium corn is better, the yield of corn is high, and the yield period is short, so it is suitable for planting at the beginning."
"Personally, I think potatoes are better, although I don't know his growth cycle, but there was a famine..."
"It's such a lively conversation."
Howen walked over.
"Good afternoon, Commander."
"Commander, why are you here?"
"I came here to see how the rice is growing, I'm going to go with him to see the rice now, let him go?"
"OKOK, the commander has spoken, of course it's no problem."
guard
The members of the team nodded in unison, and Huo Wen also took Li Yuanchao away.
Li Yuanchao also began to lead Huo Wen, and after a while, they came to a flat farmland.
"Look, Commander, this is it."
He pointed to a large patch of green rice seedlings in front of Huo Wen and said, these rice seedlings were exactly the same as what Huo Wen had seen in the cave, the only difference was the quantity.
There are a lot of rice seedlings in this area, and although Huo Wen doesn't know how many acres of land there is, he has at least the area of a football field.
"Planted so fast?"
Li Yuanchao looked a little proud: "After the moat project was opened recently, the harassment of foreign beasts and aliens within the scope of Dayu has decreased a lot, so we can also let go!" ”
"These rice seedlings here, Commander, guess how long it took us to plant them?"
Huo Wen guessed: "Seven days? ”
Because the time of his retreat and cultivation was also seven days.
"No, guess again."
Li Yuanchao mysteriously denied Huo Wen's speculation, and this face made him feel that he had guessed too little.
Because the pride on Li Yuanchao's face had not yet faded, Huo Wen guessed again: "Five days? ”
"It's close."
"Three days?"
Huo Wen began to be surprised, could he grow so many rice seedlings in three days?
"No, it's two days!"
Li Yuanchao said suddenly, this answer startled Huo Wen.
Although he has never planted rice, his grandfather's hometown is in the countryside, at least he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run, right?
Those peasant uncles grow rice, from the cultivation of rice seedlings to the transplanting of seedlings, it will take at least a while, right?
Huo Wen had never seen a family that could plant rice in two days.
"Is it really that fast?"
Huo Wen asked, and Li Yuanchao scratched his head: "Actually, the rice seedlings were cultivated by us in the cave, and the two days were mainly spent on clearing the wasteland, and more than 30 of us planted the seedlings, in fact, it was only one afternoon." ”
"Oh, I see, change the concept."
"Haha, yes." Li Yuanchao laughed and said: "In short, after Dayu is really built, we may still look for corn seeds, which is actually not bad, we have also considered it before, but it seems that it can't make wine, so we gave up." ”
"Now the goal is not to make wine but to grow food, so we are starting to shift our strategic goals as well."
