The abel named Gen from the Yushan tribe brought a bundle of firewood and said to her in a restrained manner: "Qingwu, when you go back, we will remember to add firewood to make a fire." ”

Seeing their restrained appearance, Yao Xiaoqing looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you here, I'll seal the kiln before dark." ”

"Good, good!" The root keeps nodding his head.

Yao Xiaoqing came out from under the bamboo shed, carried the sapper shovel and walked towards the kudzu, and saw that the vines under the pressure were still growing green, and it seemed that the pressed seeds were alive.

Returning to the open space on the slope at the foot of the mountain, standing there and looking towards the pond, Yao Xiaoqing estimated that there was a distance of three or four hundred meters. She carried a sapper shovel all the way down from the foot of the mountain, and found that the further she went to the river, the lower the terrain became.

It was also found that the places that had been washed during the flood season were full of small shrubs, weeds, and vines.

Where the river can't be submerged, it's the big trees that grow.

Reserve land that will be submerged when the flood season comes, and also set aside land that will be submerged when a rare flood comes. Yao Xiaoqing retreated while thinking, retreated to the area overgrown with big trees, retreated a few hundred steps, stood there and looked down, and felt that the terrain was already quite high, so he decided to build the wall from the foot of the mountain here.

Pick up the sapper shovel and dig a hole in the ground, leaving a mark. Walking all the way up, looking at the clearing next to me, I thought that I had to go to the mountains and forests to find some fruit trees to plant. And those big trees, they all had to be cut down to save them from leaving a hiding place for the enemy.

If we enclose this piece of land that has been set aside, there will be at least 500 or 600 mu of land, and with the current population and output, at least 100 mu of land will have to be cultivated to eat, and if we want to store grain, we must cultivate more land.

Yao Xiaoqing was worried in his heart, where to find seeds to plant one or two hundred acres of land? It's hard! It's too hard.

Yaohu and Dashi came over carrying the stones, and when they saw her digging a pit with a shovel, they asked with a smile, "Xiaoqing, what are you doing digging a pit here?" ”

Yao Xiaoqing looked up at the two of them, "Father, Uncle Dashi, I'll mark the place to be fenced." ”

Yaohu looked around, "You're going to start building a wall from here, right?" ”

"Yes, from here to the foot of the hill, and from that side of the pond, it's all fenced off." Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the pond.

Dashi looked at her hand, shook his head, and said, "How long will it take to build such a wide land?" There were certainly not enough stones we picked up. ”

Yao Xiaoqing felt that their hands-on ability, although it was not bad, but after all, it was the first time to build a wall, and I am afraid that they should not think that they could be completed in a short time. But for long-term stability, even the extra effort is worth it.

"Hmmm! Dig the foundation first and build the wall, and then build the house, plus the men you left behind, and the four of them, Shui Bo and Worm Bo, I am afraid that this piece will not be able to be built until the end of the summer. ”

Yaohu thought for a moment, "I'll look at it like this!" Dashi, you will go hunting with the mountain, the bull, and the wood wind tomorrow, and next time I will be with the mountain. In this way, some people come to the house and some people can quickly build the fence and the house. ”

"Okay, just as the leader said," Dashi said and thought of one more thing, looked at Yaohu and said, "Then do we still have to come back from the salt stone?" ”

Yaohu understood what Dashi meant, thought for a while, and said, "Just go and mine it, don't tell Muba where the salt stone is." It stands to reason that Muba and Spear are willing to work with us against the Shenmu tribe, and they have also sworn an oath to us, so we should not hide it from them. But I heard that their big Eminem and Muya are not like people who stay in the tribe with peace of mind, and I am afraid that they will do bad things. ”

Dashi nodded and said: "I also heard my aunt say that those women are very neat in their work, and that the wood sprouts can't even distinguish between wild vegetables and wild grasses, and they don't listen to others." ”

"Let's see a few more days!" Yaohu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Next time you cook salt stones, pick a day when they are not there." ”

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing originally thought that Yaohu would have no reservations about Muba and them, and seeing that he was guarding against them, she also agreed with Yaohu's approach. In this world, salty salt is like a peerless treasure in the future, which can give birth to greed at a glance, and the most important thing to bet on is people's hearts.

The three of them discussed, Yao Xiaoqing turned around and walked back, went to the mountain and carried two pockets of grass and wood ashes to the vegetable field.

The soil of the valley is soft, and even if there are no oxen or plowshares, four people can work, and if there is a hoe or a nail rake, two hours, at least one or two points of land will come out.

Without the tools to be used, you can only spend more time digging the land.

"Xiaoqing, what are you doing with two baskets of ashes?" Shanami asked.

"I want to sprinkle some plant ash on the millet seedlings, as well as beans and taro."

"Oh!" Shanami put down the wooden shovel, "I'll go with you." ”

Untying the rope tied to the fence door, Shan Emu saw the pumpkin seedlings at a glance, "Xiaoqing, this is the seed given to you by the gods?" ”

"Hmmm! I was worried that it wouldn't grow, but I didn't expect it to grow well. Yao Xiaoqing pulled out the weeds under the pumpkin seedlings.

"The seeds given by the gods can not be good!" Shan Eminem smiled optimistically and also squatted down to pull the grass together.

There are many small round leaves of grass and wheat grass growing in the millet seedlings, and if you dig at the roots of the weeds and dig them gently, the weeds will not be pulled out even by the roots.

Shan Amu followed Yao Xiaoqing to learn what she did, and the people who often work have good eyesight, and they learned how to weed after watching it twice.

It took the two more than half an hour to pull out all the grass in the soybean seedlings and millet seedlings. Yao Xiaoqing carried a dustpan to sprinkle grass and wood ashes, and Shan Amu continued to weed the taro field.

After running twice to sprinkle grass ash on all the young seedlings, the two closed the fence door, Yao Xiaoqing remembered the wild garlic dug at the foot of the mountain, and said to Shan Eminem: "Eminem, when you go back to make food, cut off the wild garlic, and we will use it tomorrow to plant it in the ground that has just bloomed." ”

Shan Emu nodded, "Okay, you put the basket here and I'll take it back." ”

Yao Xiaoqing should go down to the pond, and saw that the adobe bricks spread on the shells had been burned orange red, and asked Genbo not to add firewood to the fire chamber.

Genber nodded in response, and walked to the clay mound in silence to continue making adobe bricks.

Yao Xiaoqing waited for the fire in the fire chamber to be extinguished, sealed the mouth of the kiln with clay, checked the adobe bricks, and saw that the water vapor of the adobe bricks drying in the bamboo shed had been dried, and said to them: "Genbo, you build up the adobe bricks for drying the water vapor, so that the greenhouse cannot be opened." ”

"Yes!" After the two should get down, they began to lay bricks.

Yao Xiaoqing came out of the bamboo shed and saw Mu Feng and Yu coming over with a basket on their backs.

I saw that the two of them were full of yams and kudzu.

"Brother, why did you come back? Is the dug kudzu root and yam back back? ”

Mu Feng took a breath and said with a smile: "The taro hasn't been dug up yet!" The yamsa and kudzu have to run twice to memorize. ”

"Xiaoqing, the kudzu and yams in that place grow thick, and we buried the old roots dug up back in the soil, otherwise we would have come back a long time ago." He said with a smile.
