Chapter 606: The Old Peasant Lady 2
After a full meal, the next day, the family reverted to only two meals a day, with only a little bit of each meal.
But it's better than other people's homes, at least they still have food to eat every day.
The rest of the village only eats one meal a day.
Jia Huan would go to the cliff where he had planted sweet potatoes every night after giving his little grandson a meal.
A few days is not enough time for Jia Huan's cultivation to achieve something, but at least he has started, his skills have become more flexible, and his speed has become faster.
Every day, I go back and forth between my home and the cliff, from the beginning of the three-hour road to the end of the road for an hour, half an hour, and fifteen minutes.
Jia Huan buried the spirit stones brought from the Xiuzhen world at the foot of the cliff and arranged a formation to speed up the growth of plants.
Every day, he transplanted some potatoes and sweet potatoes from the space to the outside, planting sweet potatoes at the bottom of the cliff and in the surrounding mountains.
Half a month later, both sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe.
Jia Huan found the village chief.
The village chief sat in a daze in the courtyard of his house, holding a dry tobacco stick in his hand, but there were no tobacco leaves in it.
Now I can't even eat, where is there still a cigarette?
Feeling the dry air, there was no moisture at all, and the village chief sighed repeatedly.
If this continues, this year's crops will not be successful.
Without food, how many people will starve to death?!
At this time, he saw a little old woman walking into her yard in a hurry.
"Old Seven, what's the matter with you being in such a hurry?" The village chief asked aloud.
The village chief is also surnamed Jia, and he is cousins with her husband, and the original widow was able to bring up her eldest child safely, thanks to the help of these relatives of the Jia family.
Jia Huan looked extremely surprised, and said loudly: "Second brother, I found a bunch of wild sweet potatoes and potatoes under the cliff on the mountain, you quickly inform everyone, and come with me into the mountain to dig red potatoes."
The village chief perked up, stood up reluctantly, and asked, "Sweet potato potato? How many?"
Jia Huan: "It's a lot, enough for the people in the village to eat for ten days and half a month."
The village chief immediately ran to his house: "Then what are you waiting for? I'll let you know."
As he spoke, he took out a gong from his room, walked out of the courtyard, and began to rattle.
While knocking, he shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention, sweet potatoes and potatoes have been found in the mountain, hurry up and carry the basket into the mountain!"
There was an uproar in the village, and all the people who were lying down and sitting still ran out of their houses, shouting, "Where are the sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
Jia Huan stood up: "I know, everyone come with me."
"Let's go, follow Jia Qi's family."
Everyone hugged Jia Huan and went to the mountain.
Jia Gui and Chunhua rushed up with baskets on their backs.
In the past ten days, Chunhua has been able to eat her stomach, her body has gradually improved, and she has been able to work in the field.
I heard that my aunt was going to take the whole village to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes, where could Chunhua still lie down, so I immediately pulled my husband out of the house, for fear that it would be too late, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes would be robbed by others.
The whole village went out together, including the children, who also carried small baskets and followed the adults.
Even if there was danger in the mountains, so many people were scared away.
Jia Huan led everyone to the bottom of the cliff.
Everyone was stunned to see the two crops that were growing very well.
Because of the drought, the crops under the mountain died of drought.
Even if there is no drought death, the growth is very poor, and the harvest is not to be expected.
But here, how can it grow so well?
Could it be that there is some legendary cave under this cliff?
When everyone dug up the dirt and dug out the sweet potatoes and potatoes that weighed a pound buried underneath, they were even more sure of their speculation that this cliff was a blessed land.
After digging up all the sweet potatoes and potatoes, will you continue to grow them here and still be able to grow high-quality and abundant crops?
There were many people, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in this area were quickly dug up.
Everyone went home with almost half a basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes on their backs.
They smiled and walked down the hill much more briskly.
I was able to eat a full meal today.
Jia Gui and Chunhua dug up more than 30 catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes and went home, plus the first time Jia Huan brought them back, there are now more than 50 catties of grain at home, enough for them to eat for two months - to save and eat.
There was no starvation crisis, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
On this night, many people went to sleep with a satisfied smile.
The next day, the village chief took the men into the mountains to level the land at the bottom of the cliff, while the women began to breed.
When the seeds are planted, the men and women go into the mountains together to sow the seeds.
It doesn't matter if it's the best season to grow or not, it's already fun for them to be able to grow something.
After several days of such busyness, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted.
The villagers are looking forward to the land, and people come here every day to see how it is going.
Then, everyone discovered the miracle of this land.
The crops grown here grow ten times faster than those grown on ordinary land, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were planted some time ago have a tendency to mature in just a few days.
It's a paradise in a famine year!
With this land, everyone will have food to eat, and no one will starve, and no one will starve to death.
On the same day, the whole village sat together for a general meeting.
After that, the land below the cliff became a secret base for the whole village, and no one was allowed to reveal its existence to outsiders.
[In view of the general environment,
Adults should take good care of their children and not let them leak their mouths.
The villagers said that they would keep the secret.
That piece of land is everyone's hope for survival, how can it be known to others?
As for the little daughter-in-law who married in another village......
Is it important to have your own family, or is it important to have your mother's family?
A lot of women are clear.
Women who can't tell the difference are locked up in the house by their own men and are not allowed to go out.
The woman who can distinguish clearly is to take her sweet potatoes and potatoes from Shanliwa and send them back to her mother's house, so that her mother's family can survive the crisis.
In this way, not only does it protect the mother's family, but it will not violate the taboo of the whole village, killing two birds with one stone.
Relying on this mountainous area, the people in the village survived the disaster year safely, and no one starved to death.
The people of the surrounding villages also followed suit, borrowed food from them, and survived the most difficult days.
After the disaster, the land below the cliff was planted with crops, and instead of the rapid growth effect it had before, the crops grew more slowly than in ordinary fields.
The elders of the village said that it was because they survived the disaster, and the mountain god withdrew his supernatural powers.
In fact, it was Jia Huan who revoked the plant accelerated growth formation.
The villagers believed this statement, and although they did not dare to build a mountain temple in the open, the villagers would sneak into the mountain to worship the mountain god.
This is still a secret in the village.
