Chapter XVIII
At the beginning of September,
Looking at the busy figures of the elves, Xue Song finally put his mind at ease.
More than 400 catties of spiritual rice and more than 1,000 catties of Longri potatoes were harvested from two acres of land.
Although the harvest is much less than in the Great Wilderness, Xue Song is already very satisfied with this yield.
After all, energy is scarce, soil fertility is insufficient, and with the aura of Xue Song, it will barely be able to catch up with the output in the Great Wilderness next year.
The harvested crops will be sown again as seeds, Xue Song plans to divide the crops into two seasons to plant, Lingmi will be planted in September and October, and it will be harvested in April and May of the following year.
Two hundred acres of land, Xue Song alone, plus the spirit of the grass and trees cultivated by the spirit banyan tree, can also take care of it, only the sowing and cuttings need to be taken care of by him personally for a period of time, after all, he needs to use spiritual skills to ensure the seedling rate, and the other times can be taken care of by the elves.
After the elves finished harvesting the crops, Xue Song burned the straw and turned it into the land, loosened the soil and reclaimed it, and used the spirit gathering technique to accelerate the integration of grass and wood ash into the land and increase the fertility of the land.
Leave dozens of catties of mature Yuhe rice, and sow all the rest, two catties per acre, and no matter how much the land can not support, the yield will be greatly reduced.
Summoning the wind and rain, watering the land thoroughly, there is soil loosening without worrying about soil compaction.
After doing what he had to do, Xue Song returned to the Lingrong tree and grabbed a handful of Yuhe rice left behind and put it in his hand.
The particles are full and the aroma is compelling, just smelling the taste, Xue Song felt the hunger in his body coming continuously.
After sipping a few grains, Xue Song could clearly feel a small spiritual power running down his throat.
"It works well." Put away the spirit rice and put it in a bag, such a little is not enough for him to eat, if Xue Song lets go of his hands and feet, at least a thousand kilograms a year is enough.
Xue Song picked out a few sacks of longri potatoes that were not in good condition and kept them as gifts, and the others were dug into a cave as seeds and stored.
Entrusted someone to send a letter to the good who lived in the village of the Shouxu people, and brought some Longri potatoes by the way, Xue Song also gave some points to the people in the village, and the rest was left to Yingu for him to help promote, and entrusted the insect masters to do tasks to help him find specific insects, and he still needed to be paid.
Most insect masters don't ask for money, and if they don't get entangled on the road, they will do some odd jobs nearby to get some money and continue on the road, and they don't value money very much. And Lingmi is an important cultivation resource, Xue Song still has to use it himself, so he can only use Longri Potato as a reward.
Although the spiritual power contained in the Longri potato is slightly inferior, the yield is extremely large, and it is just used as a reward for completing the task.
Summoning Ah Qi and letting it drag a sack back to the nest as its rations, these can help it grow faster.
After packing everything,
Xue Song returned to the state he was in when he first came to this world,
With plants as a companion, he felt the mountains and experienced the power of natural life, but unlike that, he was no longer confused.
...
At the beginning of winter,
The snow fell one after another, inadvertently covering the entire mountain forest, enveloping Mingyang Mountain in a patch of white.
"Crunch, crunch" The sound of shoes stepping on the snow sounded, and a white-haired, one-eyed man in a dark coat wrapped in a scarf came down the hill.
Gingu received a letter from Zen to him,
The content is that Xue Song asked him to come to Mingyang Mountain, saying that he had something to hand over to him.
Yin Gu knew that the crops that Xue Song had planted were ripe, but he still had some doubts about what Xue Song said about the great wilderness crops that could strengthen the body if eaten.
Although he knew that Xue Song himself had a very magical ability, the crops you planted should be special and have different effects than others.
After receiving the letter, Yin Gu did not change his itinerary immediately, he still had a commission to deal with, Xue Song came slowly and did not get in the way, but most of the commissions he accepted were related to human life.
Following the mountain path, Yingu came to the thatched house, the door was locked and no one was there, and it looked like no one had been active for a long time.
"Huh" exhaled lightly, watching the exhaled white breath slowly drift away, Yin Gu tightened his coat, wrapped the scarf tightly, and walked into the mountains again, the sound of creaking and stepping on the snow sounded again.
Xue Song got up and shook off the snow deposited on his body and looked at the comer.
"What's wrong with the eyes, Yingu?"
"This prosthetic eye has been given to someone else."
"Oh, hard work."
Xue Song found through perception that the eyes that Yin Gu had covered under the white hair were gone, leaving only an empty black hole.
Coming to the banyan tree, the ground was still dry, and a fire was raised, Xue Song controlled the roots of the banyan tree to change into the shape of a chair, and asked Yingu to sit down.
"How?"
Turning out two Longri potatoes and throwing them into the fire to roast, Xue Song asked.
"I haven't found it yet, I asked some insect friends, most of the insects that can suddenly be seen are because they have been infested, but this is of no use to you, you will only take those insects and decompose them."
Yin Gu shook his head, he knew what Xue Song was asking, but he still hadn't found a reliable way,
"In the spring, you can come with me to a meeting of the insect masters. The assembly initiated by the migratory tribe, the insect masters are more concentrated, and then ask again. ”
It was a gathering of insect masters, initiated by the migratory pulse seekers, to popularize some knowledge about insects, and to help everyone store some light wine for insect control.
Xue Song nodded, you can go and have a look, and it just so happens that you can also issue a commission to the insect master group, so that they can help find insects related to wind and thunder, and he also needs to recruit thunder to complete it.
Turning the fire, the potatoes were not yet cooked, Xue Song took out a small pot from the spirit seed bag, took a little snow to burn, and Xue Song poured the spirit rice into the pot.
It's rare for someone to come here, so why don't you let Yingu try it, so that he can advertise himself willingly.
The water gradually boils, and the unique aroma of the rice after cooking spreads. The elves also floated over to join in the fun, sparkling around the campfire.
Xue Song stretched out his hand to operate the spiritual power, a hazy cyan light emerged from his palm, and the elves rushed up, feeding the spiritual power in their bodies to the grass and wood spirit spirits, and Xue Song drove the elves aside.
It's winter now, and there aren't many places for the elves to work, so they can absorb a lot of spiritual power and fall into a deep sleep.
A small bowl of porridge went down, eating sweet potatoes Yin Gu felt a heat coming out from the deepest part of his body, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and the whole body continued to rise with heat, he felt that he was lying in the hot spring now, and the heat wave was surging...
Xue Song used spiritual power to help Yin Gu sort out his body that had been impacted by spiritual power, and the spiritual rice and Xue Song's spiritual power were infused for the first time, and Yin Gu felt that his physique had improved a lot.
"Is this what you call a spiritual creature? I don't think it's much better than just drinking. Yingu, who gradually calmed down, lit a worm cigarette and sat aside.
Xue Song shook his head, there is still a big gap between Lingmi and life energy, but the human physique in this world is relatively weak, and there is not much energy that can be absorbed, but he can't detect much difference between the two.
