Chapter 177: The Third Piece of Land
The people of Fangjiabao didn't expect that there were so many people coming to Liujin Village, why did they say that they were leaving?
Fang Tingjiang couldn't hold back, and shouted at Qiao Huaping, full of suspicion, and said in a rough voice: "You guys just left?" ”
Qiao Huaping glanced back at him: "What, you still want to invite us to dinner?" ”
Fang Tingjiang was stunned, didn't he expect Qiao Huaping to be so brazen and say it so casually?
Qiao Huaping saw that the other party was stunned again, laughed, and led people away.
Fang Tingjiang was going crazy!
The group of people from Liujin Village asked the old farmer about the way to the barren mountain along the road, and the old farmer was carrying a hoe on his shoulder, and when he heard that they were going to the barren mountain, he was a little puzzled: "That place is inaccessible, what are you going to do there?" ”
However, the old farmer looked up and down at the clothes of the people in Liujin Village, and a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes: "Oh, you guys have fled from the wilderness, right?" ”
The old farmer was very enthusiastic, put the hoe on his shoulder to the ground, and said: "I can tell you, the original name of the barren mountain is not called barren mountain, and some people go to the barren mountain to open up wasteland, and want to plant some rice or something, but what is planted dies." After a long time, the place became called a barren mountain...... You say that the evil sect is no, that place, trees can grow, vines can grow, it is just a kind of food, it can't be planted, and not long after planting, the seedlings are dead. That's Katayakichi! ”
When the people of Liujin Village heard this, they all looked at each other.
Where food can't be grown, how can they live?
Qiao Huaping didn't say anything, but carefully asked the old farmer how to go to the barren mountain.
The old farmer muttered, "Why don't you still persuade you", but he still enthusiastically pointed out the direction to Qiao Huaping and them.
Qiao Huaping thanked him, and the old farmer saw that the little girl's attitude was very good, and he chased after him and added: "There are many beasts on the barren mountain, there are many of you together, don't be alone." ”
Qiao Huaping responded, and put another label on the wasteland in his heart: there are many wild beasts (rich in hunting resources).
The road to the barren mountain is really not easy to walk.
However, Qiao Huaping and they are all trekking in the mountains these days, and they are all familiar with the difficult mountain roads.
A few young students brandished their scythes and opened the way, as if they had inexhaustible strength, and they walked for about an hour before they reached the barren mountain.
This barren mountain looks far away, in fact, over two mountains, it is another adjacent county seat, just in terms of speaking, it is more convenient than the valley of the back mountain to go to the county seat of Yixiang.
That is, Qiao Huaping and they arrived at the foot of this barren mountain, and they were stunned for a while.
It's a huge mountain.
Continuous, the grass and trees are covered, and the trees do not say that they cover the sky and the sun, but they are also blooming all over the field, which looks very good.
If it weren't for the fact that the terrain was exactly the same as the road pointed out by others before, they confirmed again and again with the passing hunters that they were sure that this was a barren mountain, otherwise, it was really hard to believe that this was the legendary barren mountain that could not survive without any crops.
Without waiting for Qiao Huaping's orders, a few old farmers scattered and went to look at the soil everywhere in the mountains.
A few hunting veterans couldn't help but look around in the forest, looking at the excrement and footprints of wild animals to determine the approximate number of prey in the forest.
Qiao Huaping twisted a handful of soil, and after twisting it between his fingers, he took a few young offspring and climbed to a high place.
The barren mountains are not high, the roads are not steep, and even the mountain roads and valleys are gentle; On the other side of the barren mountain, a small river that resembles a silver belt flows slowly. Looking at the trend, it should be a branch of the Zhenhe.
Qiao Huaping became more and more aware of it.
Qiao Huaping returned the same way with the people.
A few of the old farmers had returned, and were sitting in the shade of the trees, exchanging views with each other.
Their views are similar - that is, this land, vines and shrubs are fine, but the root system of grain is delicate, and the land here is indeed not suitable for growing grain - an old farmer even tasted the taste of the soil, shook his head, and said: "This is not the taste that can grow grain." ”
Qiao Huaping nodded and asked the other old hunters, "What do you think?" ”
The old hunters shook their heads and said, "Judging from the traces left in the forest, the wild animals in the mountains are said to be a lot less, but it should not be too much. Although there are more and more people in our village who are good at hunting, if we really want to settle here, hunting alone will not be able to feed the hundreds of people in our village...... In a large village, you can't all rely on hunting to find your way. ”
This is also true.
Qiao Huaping nodded.
The villagers of Liujin Village all looked at Qiao Huaping: "Qiao Niangzi, what do you think?" ”
Qiao Huaping said: "I already have some ideas about this, let's go back and talk about it." ”
"Okay."
Qiao Huaping took the investigation team and rushed back in full swing.
This is also the place where Kankan walked until the sky was dark, and then returned to the place where they temporarily lived and rested in Liujin Village.
Village Chief Lu was anxious for a long time, and when he saw Qiao Huaping and them coming back, he hurriedly asked someone to bring water and food, and asked urgently: "How do you see it?" Isn't the valley the best? ”
A few farming veterans subconsciously wanted to nod.
But they still held back and looked at Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping smiled: "The first piece of land, the river valley land. Let's rule it out first. The fertility of the land over there is still far from it, and planting food is probably half the effort. ”
Everyone nodded.
They don't have a problem with this.
"As for the second piece of land, the land in the back mountain valley, ...... barren mountain," Qiao Huaping said bluntly, "My thoughts may be different from those of the big guys." I think barren mountains might be more suitable for us. ”
As soon as these words came out, the villagers, including Village Chief Lu, were stunned.
Especially the farming veterans who followed Qiao Huaping out today, they were anxious: "Lady Qiao, you can't grow crops in that land, no." ”
Village Chief Lu also had doubts in his heart.
But out of trust in Qiao Huaping, he still publicly stated: "Let Qiao Niangzi finish her words first." ”
This is actually a vague state of support.
Qiao Huaping nodded and said, "I went to see it today, and the land in the valley is indeed very fertile. It's just that the fertile land is very scattered in the valley valley, and the valley looks quite large, but the land that can actually be planted is not much, which is one of them; Second, when the county government divides the land, the fertility of the land will definitely be taken into account, and the valley of the valley is fertile, and it is estimated that there are not many plants that can be planted by each family. In fact, it doesn't take much advantage of fertile land. ”
Qiao Huaping said reasonably, and when she spoke, her attitude was very calm, her tone was not impatient or impatient, and she had a strong persuasive power, which strangely calmed the anxiety in everyone's hearts.
Quite a few people nodded their heads.
"But, it's better than a barren mountain where you can't grow food, right?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
