Chapter 189: The Harbor of Home
The crisp birdsong in the mountains, accompanied by the sound of talking from time to time, the sea breeze blows away the summer heat, and the big trees in the mountains block the scorching sun.
The trail is lined with wildflowers and the occasional hare or two.
This peaceful mountain range, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, is pleasant to live and relax.
The air you breathe is refreshing.
…
When the two of them stood on the top of the mountain and saw Daxia Bay, they both smiled knowingly, and a sense of intimacy rose in their hearts.
Daxia Bay has become a harbor for the two of them in this world, and no matter where they go, they will remember this place that they founded single-handedly.
In the distance, the golden rice and wheat fields rise and fall with the sea breeze, and you can smell the smell of ripeness in the distance.
On each ridge there was a man wearing a straw hat and holding a stick to drive away the birds, and the shouting was heard far and wide.
Flocks of birds have an obsessive love for the enticing scent of rice and ears of wheat.
The fish that leapt out of the sea in Daxia Bay have lost their attraction to the birds.
People and birds launched guerrilla warfare, and the whole Daxia Village was very lively.
On the formed seawall stand many birds waiting for an opportunity, often frightened by the sudden appearance of snow wolves.
…
"Whew...... Shout...... Shout! Ziyu pursed her lips and whistled sharply.
The birds on the seawall watched like waves, and the corners of Ziyu's mouth were raised high.
The two let go of the horse's reins and walked down the mountain slowly holding hands, Ziyu smiled.
"This year, the number of birds has increased significantly, and if it continues like this, it will be a disaster.
However, the only benefit is to deal with locusts. ”
Seeing flocks of flying birds, Ziyu is a mixed blessing, and it is imperative to control the number.
She didn't want to spend a lot of energy to build Daxia Village and become a paradise for birds.
"Mobilize the villagers to collect bird eggs, and control each nest to one or two.
Villagers are allowed to open nets to catch birds in autumn and add them to the village rules as part of the year-end evaluation. Libai added.
Anything should only be done in moderation, and too much will cause it to fall to one side.
"Hey, the Golden Eagle family has added a new member, there are five!"
Ziyu pointed to the five golden rays of light flashing in the sun, and the efficiency of catching birds was to catch one by one.
"There are not only golden eagles, but also eagles and black eagles.
But their numbers are still too small to pose much of a threat to flocks of birds. Ziyu shook her head and sighed.
The presence of a large number of humans in the bay did not scare the birds away.
Because of the large area of crops, it also attracts more birds to live and work here, and it is regarded as their paradise.
The varieties are richer than the poultry gardens of later generations, and many of them are unknown to Ziyu.
There are not a few birds with beautiful feathers, and she is greedy every time.
…
The snow wolf, which grew stronger, pounced on Ziyu like an arrow from a string, frightening the horses behind him to neigh.
The yellow and black ponies raised their horses' hooves and snorted to fight the snow wolf to the death.
"White one, white drift stop!"
Ziyu yelled at the snow wolf running over, and felt that the aggrieved snow wolf howled.
"Howl~Woo!"
"Sizzle!"
The two sides issued warnings as if they were facing off, and Ziyu felt a deep headache.
As soon as the two species meet, they are like enemies, and they will not be able to get along in the future.
"Bai Yi, Bai Piao and your little brother, sit there and don't move.
This is our horse, and it is with you.
Yellow Pony, Black Pony and their little brother, do you understand? ”
Libai pulled the reins of six horses and shot the light of death at the snow wolf incessantly.
Twenty snow wolves, unwilling to sit still, stretched out their wolf heads to smell the smell in the air.
Ziyu stepped forward and touched the heads of the wolves, and was immediately submerged by the snow wolf, and it took a while to appease the snow wolf.
…
When the two species were no longer hostile, the people who ran after the snow wolf cheered loudly and happily.
"The castle lord and uncle are back! The castle lord and uncle are back! ”
The cheers spread throughout the castle like a relay race, and the crowd poured out like a tidal wave.
Ziyu and Libai, who were surrounded by them, responded to each other with a smile.
Ziyu and Libai are like gods to everyone, giving them a chance to live again and again.
The thousands of loads of grain that the two ships transported back to Daxia Fort brought to everyone were shocked, which Ziyu could not have imagined at all.
The sacks piled up like a hill give everyone the resources to eat and drink.
Even their closest relatives can't do this.
If there is faith in the world, Ziyu and Libai can see that these people have completely become their believers.
The kind that dares to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire!
…
"Sister, you really brought back the pony!"
The happiest person was Ziluo, who took the reins of the little pony in Bai's hand, jumped three feet high and thanked him loudly.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, brother-in-law for your hard work!"
"Hahaha, the stinky boy has a very sweet mouth, so I won't thank my sister!"
Ziyu, who touched her head, felt a handful of sweat and wiped two handfuls on Ziluo's shoulder.
"Thank you, sister!
Sister, I haven't cried for a month, but I miss you every day! ”
Zi Luo's eyes were red as he spoke, and his little mouth and nose were sour.
My sister left for a month, and she didn't say a word to him.
Every day after school, I would run to the top of the hill to look.
There was not a single boat coming and going on the calm sea, and occasionally someone came from the direction of Kan'er Village, and Ziluo had to be excited for a while.
When he came closer, he was happy in vain, and the child who had wiped his tears a few times behind his back would not admit that he had a crying nose.
"Xiao Luo grows up, he can't cry his nose, it's a pity!" Ziyu said regretfully.
"Sister, this time I went to Baili City just to buy you a pony.
But I do what I say, and you can't lose your word!
Take care of the two ponies, it's your business from now on, don't be lazy! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Zi Luo patted his small chest and assured with his head held high.
The young men who ran with Ziluo had envious light in their eyes.
They all circled around Ziluo, hoping to get close to the pony.
…
"Pillar, take the horses down and take care of them, use the best concentrate for the yellow and black horses, and give the other two horses to the guards."
Ziyu summoned the little girl who was about to be forgotten by her, and explained the current matter before facing the crowd gathered around.
"I rushed back this time because of a locust plague in the north.
Tomorrow the harvest will begin in full swing, and the academy and the convoy will all take part in the labor.
Everyone is ready overnight, and no one can be mistaken.
The autumn harvest is related to the rations of all of you, and the families who wrote the IOUs must return the grain in full, as well as the twenty percent of the grain due from each family.
When the harvest is in place, the lord of the castle will no longer be responsible for your rations, so don't think about coming to the lord of the castle again if you don't have anything to eat.
Qi Daring, how are your farm tools being made? ”
Ziyu didn't pick out the serious consequences of the locust plague for these people, they were all people who had experienced hardship.
If you can't even figure this out, you don't need to stay in Daxia Castle.
supported them through the first year, and as long as it was not a harvest in the future, Ziyu would not help the people who were assigned to the land.
