Lu Yu smiled: "Why don't you two guess boxing?" Who wins, listen to whom? Lu Yu suddenly felt that he was too smart, and he was in a hurry to come up with such a good way.

The sisters and brothers had no objection to Lu Yu's proposal, so the two decided to guess the winner.

The result of guessing the boxing was that Yan Xi'an won, and Yan Xiding was very unhappy, but he didn't object again, so the valley was finally named "Anding Valley".

There was no need to sow seeds in the afternoon, and digging the fields was a heavy job that could not be done in vain, so Lu Yu took his sister and brother into Anding Valley. The sister and brother couldn't help much when they went in, so they just played on the side.

Under normal circumstances, the reclamation field is to use the ox to drag the plow to plow a piece of hard soil on the flat land, plow and loosen, raise a shallow embankment around it, and then put water into it to soak the soil softly, and use an iron rake to rake the soft soil to crush, and the paddy field is basically completed. Of course, it would be better if there were rollers, and paddy fields with rollers would be smoother and easier to transplant. Lu Yu's family only has shovels, and there are no plow and rake rollers, so if he wants to open these acres of paddy fields, he can only rely on his own strength.

After another two days, the rice seeds sown in the seedling field sprouted. As soon as Lu Yu entered Anding Valley in the morning, he saw that the seedlings in the field were full of green rice sprouts that were inches long. Lu Yu was overjoyed, and returned to Yangshan Village, he wanted to pick some gray manure to press the field and promote seedlings.

While waiting for the seedlings to grow, he dug the fields, and occasionally went into the mountains with Lao Gao and them to hunt. After the first lunar month, the paddy field was finally reclaimed, and Lu Yu applied base fertilizer to the field again, and the seedlings could be planted in a few days.

Lu Yu had seen others planting seedlings and knew what was probably going on, but he hadn't planted them himself, thinking that he must be very slow to plant seedlings, and the seedlings couldn't grow in the seedling field for too long, so he had to ask the Yan family to help when planting seedlings.

Just after the first month of the new year, before the beginning of spring, there was a sudden heavy rain on this day, which made everyone full of confidence in this year's year.

But many people in Yangshan Village are also worried that the dragon crocodile, which has not appeared again in most of the winter, will come out of the mountain again after the weather is warm? So Fang Daping decided to reorganize the villagers to build a wall, this time it was no longer possible to simply use thick tree trunks to build a rough tree wall, which could only prevent wild boars from entering the village, but it could not prevent the dragon crocodile who was good at jumping.

Before the village began to build the wall, Lu Yu took the Bai family into the valley to plant seedlings. It was the first time for Lu Yu to plant seedlings, and it was the first time for the Yan family.

Before transplanting seedlings, the seedlings grown in the seedling field should be pulled out, tied into a small bundle and thrown into the rice field, and then the seedlings should be planted in rows at orderly intervals.

Mrs. Yan took her sister and brother to pull seedlings in the seedling field, while Lu Yu and Yan Jibai went to the field to plant seedlings, and several people stepped barefoot in the muddy paddy field. Whether it is planting seedlings or pulling seedlings, although it is not a very heavy job, because they have to bend over all the time, several people have backache after being busy for a long time. Especially Yan Jibai, who is not young anymore, and it is even more difficult to endure a long time of bending.

After being proficient, Lu Yu planted rice quickly, he asked Yan Jibai and Mrs. Yan to pull out the seedlings together, four people pulled out the seedlings and planted seedlings alone, so there was no need to be in a hurry, and you could do it for a while and rest for a while when you worked.

On the first day, the five people were busy until dark before going back, and there was about an acre of field planted with seedlings. Lu Yu looked at the remaining seedlings, and he should be able to plant four acres of fields.

The next morning, all the seedlings in the rice field were pulled up and tied and placed evenly in the paddy field. Lu Yu planted seedlings much faster than yesterday, this day he planted nearly two acres of land alone, after the Yan family pulled out the seedlings, they also went to the field to plant seedlings for an afternoon. Lu Yu calculated that he would be able to plant about five acres of rice fields tomorrow.

After four or five days of continuous work, he finally finished the process of transplanting rice, and even Lu Yu was tired enough. Planting rice is much more complicated than planting corn and soybeans, and when the seedlings are planted in the field, Lu Yu has to often release water for irrigation, and apply top dressing to the field......

Soon after planting the seedlings, Fang Daping came over and told Lu Yu that he was going to build a "bamboo wall" on the edge of the village with a net of fine bamboo, and then dig a pit and cloth trap under the root of the wall, so that it would not be so easy for the dragon crocodile to enter the village.

Lu Yu thought it was a good idea, and asked Fang Daping when he would start arranging.

Fang Daping said that he wanted to start as soon as possible, but the problem was that there were not so many fine bamboos in the village, and there was a bamboo forest a few miles west of Jinyang Mountain.

Lu Yu understood what Fang Daping meant: "Are you worried about the danger on the mountain, do you want me to take everyone into the mountain to cut bamboo?" Without waiting for Fang Daping to speak, he smiled again and said: "I am a member of the village, I will definitely go to the mountain to cut bamboo." ”

Fang Daping smiled, and after a while, he said, "Someone in the village said that the dragon crocodile was recruited by you, and said that you should cut bamboo." ”

"Why?" Yan Xi'an was on the side, and she said indignantly: "Why do you say that the monster was recruited by us. ”

Yan Jibai also said: "The dragon crocodile appeared suddenly, this is mostly related to the abnormal climate in the past two years, how can it be said that the Yu brothers recruited them?" ”

"yes, I also know that this monster is definitely not something that people can recruit." Fang Daping sighed: "But some people say that if it weren't for Da Yu and the others who often go into the mountains to hunt, they wouldn't have provoked monsters, and the monsters wouldn't have entered the village." ”

Lu Yu shook his head, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Old Fang, they asked you to come to me, you came to me, I think you also think I am a bully." ”

"Where can this be?" Fang Daping said: "Da Yu, don't you know who I am? Only others have bullied me, how can I bully others? ”

Lu Yu sneered and said, "Isn't it? Every time someone in the village asks for something, you come directly to me every time, and I don't see you thinking about whether it's my fault or not. Lu Yu was indeed a little angry, not only because of those ignorant, ignorant and greedy villagers, but also because Fang Daping would come to him every time without hesitation to make these obviously excessive demands. Although Fang Daping said that this was not his own idea, Lu Yu knew that he must have somewhat agreed with the views of those villagers.

Fang Daping put on a sad expression, spread his hands and said, "Lu Yu, what you said is a bit excessive, this is really not what I meant. ”

"Needless to say, I usually agreed to any request you made before, but this time I didn't agree." Lu Yu thought to himself, if Fang Daping really didn't agree with the ideas of those villagers, then he would definitely not feel that there was anything wrong with refusing to go into the mountains to cut bamboo alone.

But Fang Daping's reaction made Lu Yu disappointed him, he said: "But if our village doesn't build this wall, what if the dragon crocodile enters the village again?" ”

Lu Yu didn't speak, he didn't want to say anything to Fang Daping now.

Yan Jibai somewhat understood Lu Yu's thoughts, and he said: "Village Chief Fang, last time the dragon crocodile entered the village, if it wasn't for Brother Yu's action, your village would only be afraid that there would be more casualties, right?" ”

Fang Daping nodded again and again: "I naturally know this, not to mention others, even the lives of my family were saved by Da Yu." ”

"Anyway, Lu Yu is in your village, and the villagers in your village don't have the slightest place to live, right? But why do you villagers here always have to embarrass him and target him? ”

Fang Daping frowned: "Alas, I also know that those people have no conscience, but now is the time when people's lives are at stake, can Da Yu help?" ”

"I can't." Lu Yu said: "If you think that the dragon crocodile was introduced by me, then I have nothing to say." Lu Yu called "you" instead of "them", in his heart, Fang Daping was no different from those unreasonable villagers.

"This ......" Fang Daping also felt very uncomfortable, he said: "Then I'll go and talk to them again, and everyone will go to cut bamboo together." ”

Lu Yu said: "This can only be the case, if someone doesn't go, then I won't go either." And in case a dragon crocodile enters the village again, I will only protect the safety of our family, and I can't care if the others live or die. ”

Listening to what Lu Yu said, Fang Daping had no choice but to say, "That's it, I'll talk to them again." ”

Lu Yu saw Fang Daping's embarrassed expression, and sneered: "It's up to you to say it, that's what I mean anyway, digging traps around the wall is for the safety of the whole village, but it's not just my family." He glanced at Fang Daping again, and continued: "Someone wants to scold me, someone wants to curse me, I can't take care of it so much, if you really can't tolerate me, I have to follow Brother Yan and them out of Yangshan Village." ”

"Da Yu, you can't do this." Fang Daping was a little panicked: "If you move away, we all have to leave." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "In this way, I am somewhat useful in the village. ”

"Needless to say. If it weren't for you, our village would have become an empty village a long time ago. Fang Daping was weak on the outside and weak on the inside, but he was not a stupid person, he hurriedly said: "I'll go and talk to them, and let everyone go with you to cut bamboo on the mountain." ”

After Fang Daping left, Yan Jibai sighed and said: "The people here are in the blessing and don't know the blessing, natural disasters have been going on for many years, and what place is better than Yangshan Village." ”

Lu Yu didn't speak, thinking in his heart: "Actually, I was too good at talking before, so everyone thought that I was too honest and easy to bully, and Fang Daping felt even more so." In the future, you can't be too easy-going with those people. ”

I don't know what Fang Daping said to those people, but after a few days, someone finally came to invite Lu Yu to go up the mountain.

The last time the dragon crocodile entered the village, a total of more than 30 people died in Yangshan Village, and most of the dead were young and strong men, and there are only seventy or eighty strong laborers left in Yangshan Village. When you go up the mountain to cut bamboo, you can't go with all the laborers, and you have to leave people in the village to guard it.

On the way up the mountain, except for Lao Gao Lu Di and a few, everyone else turned a blind eye to Lu Yu. Lu Yu didn't pay attention to them, and just ended up clean. He doesn't like villagers who have nothing to do, but he doesn't fear them either.

There are several bamboo forests on Yangshan, there are many kinds of bamboo, to weave bamboo walls, what is needed is the kind of slender bamboo, and there is a large bamboo forest on a mountainside not far from Yangshan Village.
