Chapter 2 Planting Corn

The sudden appearance of the strange scene made Lou Lan secretly surprised, but he had just experienced the test of life and death, and his mood was already a lot stronger, so he adjusted his mood a little, and walked towards the small hut.

There were still some Loulan who didn't come back to their senses, and they didn't notice that there were actually a lot of light spots in the sky just now that were integrated into his own body.

Loulan first walked to the small black soil, squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of soil, and found that the texture of the soil was pliable and slightly damp, it was a fertile land that was very suitable for cultivation, and from the shape of the land, this land was also a very standard tenth-acre of cultivated land, as if someone had already cultivated it.

"The soil is fertile and fine, what a good piece of land!" Loulan secretly said in her heart that he had helped his grandmother farm since he was a child, and he could naturally distinguish the quality of the land.

Standing up, Loulan walked to the side of the two thatched huts again, and the first thing that caught Loulan's eye was the big seal script on the door of the thatched hut: "seed" was written on one door, and "home" was written on the other door.

The handwriting is neat and simple, obviously the handwriting of a famous calligrapher, even if it is written on the simple wooden door of this thatched hut, it also gives people a very solemn feeling.

"This is also a clear and concise explanation!" Loulan wondered slightly, this cultivated land and seeds, even the home has been prepared for me, does this mean that I want to farm here? What are you kidding, Lao Tzu doesn't even know where the next meal will be now, and when the crops are ripe, he will starve to death.

Although he thought so in his heart, but at present, Loulan has no other choice, he thought about it a little, and decided not to rush back to the "home", first go to see the "seeds", after all, seeds are also food, and they can still be eaten as food.

Walking to the door of the thatched hut, without waiting for Loulan to stretch out her hand to push the door, the door "squeaked" and opened by herself, Loulan looked into the house, but found that it was dark inside, and she couldn't see anything.

Although Loulan had a strange feeling in her heart, she still had the courage to walk in, who knew that when she entered the house, she found that it was very spacious and bright, and the previous darkness had completely disappeared.

The room was relatively empty, except for the door, there was a wooden cabinet on each of the other three walls, like a medicine cabinet for Chinese medicine in a pharmacy, and there were many small drawers on these three cabinets, and there was a small black lock with a simple shape on the drawers.

Loulan walked to one of the cabinets, reached out and tried to pull a few of the small drawers, and found that the lock was unusually strong, no matter how hard Loulan tried, it didn't move at all.

Loulan saw that she couldn't pull the drawer, so she looked around again, and found that there was nothing else here, so she turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, a crisp "carding" sound suddenly came, the sound was like the sound of the lock opening, Loulan hurriedly turned her head to look, and immediately found the source of the sound---- the lock on a small drawer facing him actually disappeared.

Walking forward, Loulan gently opened the small drawer, and to his surprise, there was a black fog in the drawer, which kept tumbling, filling the entire drawer, but there was no overflow.

"What the hell is this?" Loulan said secretly in her heart, but she still had the courage to put her hand in, who knew that this stretch of hand only found that there was indeed something inside, and the tentacles were very soft, as if it was a cloth bag.

Loulan grabbed this bag-like thing, took it out with a little force, took it to the front and looked at it, and found that it was really a bag of seeds, and there was a description on the bag:

Corn seeds, grade 1, not directly edible, price: free, yield 10 catties / tree, how to use: turn the soil - sow - water. Maturity period: 24 hours.

Twenty-four hours? What does it mean that it can ripen in a day? What variety of corn matures so quickly? How come I've never heard of it?

Loulan asked four questions in his mind in one breath, but these questions didn't delay him for even a second, his hand had reached into the drawer again, and he took out another bag of corn seeds.

In this way, Loulan took out more than ten bags of seeds in one go, but in this small drawer, the seeds seem to be endless, as long as Loulan puts her hand in, she will definitely be able to take out a bag of seeds, but unfortunately this kind of seeds cannot be eaten directly, otherwise Loulan doesn't even need to farm, just take seeds here and eat them.

Loulan, who had just almost starved to death, was finally in a much better mood now, and he didn't care whether the seeds could be eaten or not, so he picked them all up, rushed out of the house at a speed of 100 meters, and came to the side of the black soil outside.

"Ploughing the soil, sowing seeds, watering, the procedure is simple, so what are you waiting for? Let's get to work! ”

Loulan is now facing the threat of death all the time, and she can't care much more, so she directly digs up in the black soil with her hands: it's just turning over the soil, isn't there just no hoe? It's the same with hands.

Fortunately, the soil was very soft, and even if she used her hands instead of a hoe, Loulan did not feel too difficult, and it only took an hour to completely turn over this one-tenth acre of cultivated land.

Doing farm work is very physically demanding, Loulan finished turning over the land, and after standing up, she found that her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and the energy provided by the small piece of tortilla just now seemed to be almost consumed, and the familiar hunger hit again, which made Loulan suddenly nervous:

No, we can't delay for a moment, we must sow the seeds immediately.

Thinking of this, Loulan immediately began to sow seeds, he has been doing farm work since he was a child, and naturally knew that the sowing density could not be too dense, so he naturally distanced himself, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, and when a bag of seeds was used up, he just planted ---- twenty corns.

After sowing the seeds, the next thing is watering, Loulan doesn't have any tools at hand, just a kettle, fortunately, the river is next to it, don't have to run too far, and a kettle of water can just water a corn seed, so Loulan tossed twenty times, and when the ground is all watered, he is so tired that he collapsed to the ground, and he can't stand up.

Loulan sat on the edge of the field panting, pouring the water from the kettle into his mouth, and now that he had no other food at hand, he took a bag of corn seeds, took one out of it, and put it in his mouth to eat.

Corn seeds are actually partially dehydrated corn kernels, and after boiling, sweet and soft corn, these corn kernels will become very hard after dehydration, and if you eat them directly, you must have a person with excellent teeth to chew them.

Loulan is still very confident in his teeth, after all, he is the golden age of seventeen years old at this time, it is the peak period of the human body, because of poverty, when he eats stew during the New Year, he even chews and eats the bones in the meat, although the corn seeds are hard, how can they be hard than the bones.

But I really can't chew it!

Not only could she not chew it, but as soon as the corn seeds reached Loulan's mouth, they immediately emitted a strong smell of rotting corpses, which choked Loulan and vomited on the spot.

After the corn kernels were spit out by Loulan, the strong smell of rotting corpses did not disappear, forcing Loulan to hurriedly crawl and run to the river, rinse her mouth desperately with the river water, and finally gradually eliminated this maddening smell.

"What the hell is this!" Loulan's heart had 10,000 *** heads rushing by, and he muttered as he walked back from the river: "And this damn rotten seed, it's all ... I'll go, it's amazing! ”

In front of Loulan, on the originally black cultivated land, two rows of neat corn seedlings have grown, which are very eye-catching!

"It's only been less than ten minutes, and the seedlings have grown, is it true that this corn will ripen in twenty-four hours?" Loulan's heart was suddenly ecstatic, and she hurriedly picked up a bag of corn seeds from the ground, and carefully looked at the instructions written on the bag:

Corn seeds, grade 1, not directly edible, price: free, yield 10 catties / tree, how to use: turn the soil - sow - water. Maturity period: 24 hours.

"Twenty-four hours, sure enough, it's twenty-four hours, good guy, the yield of each seed is still 10 catties, then tomorrow, I don't have it... With 200 pounds of corn! Oh yes! ”

Loulan jumped up happily and walked around the cornfield excitedly, carefully checking each corn seedling, for fear that any of them would not grow well and affect her harvest tomorrow.

Fortunately, Loulan's worries were unnecessary, the corn seedlings were all very strong, and after a while, these seedlings grew up a lot, and the height was almost to Loulan's ankles.

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.

A breeze blew, Loulan suddenly felt a little cool on her body, although it was the height of summer, but Loulan from the verge of starvation to luckily rescued, and planted for half a day, during which she only ate a small piece of corn cake, the degree of physical consumption can be imagined, at this time it is naturally a little weak, and it is normal to feel cold.

To Loulan's surprise, as the sun completely disappeared at the foot of the mountain, the light suddenly lit up in the thatched hut next to the cornfield that said "home".

"I'll go, I've forgotten, I still have a home!" Loulan looked at the corn seedlings under her feet with some anxiety, and finally walked towards the thatched hut called "Home": "It should be no problem, it seems that there is not even a gasp in this ghost place except for me!" ”

The lights in the thatched hut were very bright, and the four or five meters around the thatched hut were reflected very clearly, so Loulan's vision was not affected, and she walked all the way to the door, and immediately smelled a burst of aroma.
