Chapter 12: Let's See It, Kid!
That's right! Lao Wang couldn't help laughing: Lan Lan's ability is no worse than Xiaobai!
Seeing Lao Wang enter the house, the little eyes of the two weasels looked at it vigilantly again, which made people feel very fierce. After Lan Lan's mouth said two words, the two little things put down their claws and began to circle around Lan Lan like a tamed tiger.
"Listen to me, you two fart. If you want to stay here, you have to make three rules. The first chapter is that you are not allowed to release bad breath casually.
It wasn't until Lan Lan sent the two weasels into each other's warehouses that the others breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Xiaobai and Yang Rui walked into the room, rummaged around Lao Wang, took out a lot of snacks, and took Lan Lanlan to eat.
While eating, I heard a tiger barking outside the house. With a whoosh, a yellow shadow rushed into the house. It was a weasel that put the big rat that bit blood on Lan Lanlan's feet. It's half a foot long and still kicking its paws.
That's great. This is worthy of the rat catcher - Lao Wang is stunned, but you two should enjoy it in peace.
After two clicks, the weasel swaggered out again, holding a mouse in his mouth, and met Xiao Hei head-on. He bared his teeth, ready to pounce. Lao Wang hurriedly hugged Xiao Hei's big head: "These two people will also be our family in the future, we should live in harmony - damn it, gas it!" β
It seems that these two weasels still have a long way to go. However, for the sake of the future army of rat catchers, Lao Wang still endured.
Two or three days later, the people in the village basically knew about Yang Xu's raising weasels, so they were very careful and strict with the chickens and ducks at home. After all, this is notorious. The fact that the weasel's main food is rats is a misconception. Really not eating food can hurt chicken.
I didn't see the big rooster of Lao Li's family leading the hen to eat in the yard of Lao Wang's house all day long. The two weasels never look at each other.
After a long time, everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief, reflecting that there were fewer and fewer rats in the warehouses of every household during this time.
With the arrival of a spring rain, Grizzly Bear Supermarket also began to get busy, and the biggest project since the establishment of the community began: planting grass!
A few days ago, He Shuiqing brought back more than a dozen four-wheeled grass seeds for free, because there was an aid project at the top, which was originally free, and He Shuiqing also sent a favor along the way. The cool and flashy Flag Committee manager was also curious to see what would become of such a desolate place as Seven Star Bubbles. If it develops well, it is beneficial and harmless to her, so the support is relatively strong.
There are more than a dozen varieties of grass seeds, the most of which is "satawang", which is most suitable for growing in arid areas. As soon as Lao Wang heard the name, he liked it. The sand is getting harder.
In addition, there are varieties such as alfalfa, leeks, sheep grass, purple fescue, etc. However, compared with the million-acre seven-star bubble, this grass seed is also equivalent to a drop in the bucket.
Lao Wang is not worried about this. According to his plan, it was necessary to sow grass seeds in the vicinity of the high mountain tun and several large bubbles, as well as in large areas around the primeval river. As for other regions, scattered seeds can be dispersed and rely mainly on natural propagation. In addition, grass seeds, which used to lie dormant under the sand, can grow rapidly as long as there is water. As the saying goes, fish roe is a thousand years, grass seeds are a thousand years.
At the call of the manager, the villagers were divided into more than ten groups. Anyone who can go down to the earth must fight. Even Lao Zhu's age was the first to start working. Luckily, the work is neither too tiring nor difficult. The only problem is that it takes a lot of time.
Of course, Lao Wang also carried it with his family: Yang Rui dragged a nail rake in front, leaving a shallow ditch everywhere he went. It had just rained, and the sand on the ground was wet, and there was no dust at all. In addition, the sand is relatively soft and effortless. Yang Rui played and sang while working: "Zhu Bajie, laugh, haha, raise the nine-toothed rake in your handββ"
Lan Lan and Xiao Bai each carried a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of grass seeds from the bag, and scattered them on the ground. A living child is perfectly competent.
Lao Wang's workload is a bit heavy, and he is responsible for the soil cultivation in the back. He also wields a nine-toothed nail rake, hugging the ground back and forth, trying to cover grass seeds with sand to promote germination. He kept talking to Yang Rui.
As for mechanical sowing and even aircraft sowing, Jiangbei's current strength cannot be adjusted.
"Yang Xu, Yang Million has planted grass like this before, and it doesn't seem to have any effect." Uncle Manager didn't know when to turn around and start chanting.
In the current state of the grassland, it is really difficult to recover, and there is too much expertise involved. However, Lao Wang did not care about all this and comforted him: "Uncle Manager, put your heart in your stomach. These grass seeds are provided by the state, can't you trust the state? β
Believe it or not, managers are worried that everyone will do this day and night and will work for nothing. At that point, Grizzly Bear Supermarket will simply be disbanded.
But he didn't know that Lao Wang had a deep understanding: the grass seeds sown every day were seasoned and sprayed with a nutrient solution diluted tens of thousands of times, and they would definitely sprout. As for the nutrient solution, this is his exclusive secret ingredient. Only Xiaobai knows best.
As he chattered, he saw two yellow shadows coming towards him. A weasel in front of him also has a chipmunk in his mouth. He threw it head and tail. Another slightly larger weasel was chasing him and was running fast.
Lao Wang was very happy to see it. "Look, these two little things aren't worth buying. It's just that rhubarb is a little wrong these two days. He always likes to giggle. Did he learn from the old hen to lay eggs? "Two weasels, the big one is called big rhubarb, and the small one is called two yellow. The naming method of this lazy man is, of course, from Lao Wang's masterpiece. Although Lan Lan had some opinions, he couldn't say them, so he could only acquiesce. Moreover, Lao Wang also has his own misconception: when there are more, you can keep rowing down. Three yellows and four yellows can be lined up to 10,000 yellows.
"This animal is hot. After a little more than a month, it may give birth to a litter of cubs for you. Lao Li strode over. Da Huang and Er Huang were obviously a little nervous, looking at Li Dabiao timidly. There is no way. Lao Li is a hunter. He had human hair on him. The beast will grab him with its claws.
Okay - the old king slapped his thigh hard, and he was expecting the weasel family to unfold its branches. There are many little guards in the steppe.
Ahhh She saw the woman looking up and pointing to the sky. Lao Wang also looked in the direction she was pointing. A flock of geese flies from south to north in the sky of the green tiles. It forms a huge "human form" that adds some vibrancy to the lonely sky.
"Wild geese, in the sky, the queue is lined upβ" Yang Rui was also impressed by this scene, humming a bleak and distant ballad. According to Lao Wang, during this time, Yang Rui seems to be not as stupid as before. Was he really woken up by a weasel's fart?
Until we couldn't see the geese in the sky, we all hung our heads helplessly, and many of our faces showed regret and aftertaste. After a while, the manager sighed: "If it was more than ten years ago, there would have been geese in the bubble around us!" β
"Don't talk about geese, even swans are not uncommon." Lao Li's eyes widened. Lao Wang really doubted that this guy had hunted swans before.
Now there is nothing - several people sigh together, some regrets, some regrets, many things, and only after the loss can they really understand its value.
"Will come back, the geese will come back, the swans will come back, I believe this day is not far off!" Of course, Lao Wang said this, which is also his oath.
In the afternoon, it started to rain again, and everyone stopped working. Many people are saying: It seems that God is really hungry and blind the birds in the house. While we were planting grass seeds here, it started to rain. Maybe it will grow up.
For farmers, spring rain is as expensive as oil, so every household is busy cooking and drinking good wine. For those who depend on the weather, it's a blessing for the boss.
Lao Wang did not have time to enjoy this rare leisure. When people weren't looking, he slipped out of the house in a raincoat. Lan Lan and Xiaobai also wanted to follow, but they were driven back by him. Only Xiao Hei faithfully followed his master and disappeared into the drizzle.
It wasn't until dawn that Wang went home. Then he plunged into bed and fell asleep, looking tired.
The spring rain lasted for five or six days before stopping. This fat man goes out early and returns late every day. After a few days, he had lost a lot of weight.
After the rains, the manager began to work in the village again, so the army continued to grow grass with rakes and sacks filled with grass seeds.
As soon as I left the village, I don't know who screamed, and then everyone stood there dumbfounded. Many people don't even react when the farm implements fall off their shoulders and hit their feet.
Looking around, I saw a layer of fluffy green sprouting from the originally desolate meadow, like a green blanket, stretching into the distance, bringing infinite vitality to the earth and infinite hope to these industrious and simple people.
"The sky has eyes!" Lao Chu's trembling voice echoed in the village. And then many people followed the old man and knelt down reverently --
When you get up close and take a closer look, you can see thin grass sprouts in the sand, sparse and sparse, far less lush than from a distance. However, this is more than enough. As long as the seedlings grow up and multiply, the green grassland will no longer be a dream.
The grass sprouts are still very tender and have just emerged from the soil. The top of the grass is a little green, and the bottom has not yet shed its goose yellow color. However, it is such a small seedling that brings infinite hope and infinite strength.
"Young and old, go and sow seeds!" The manager shouted, and in his eyes, there were two sparkling lights.
The people of Jiangbei have never been so agitated and united as they are today. Even if we have a big mountain in front of us, this energy can be removed.
"Why didn't you see Yang Xu?" Guan Yun groped slowly.
Looking around and seeing that we did not find the right host. You must know that Lao Wang is not only responsible for contracting the Seven Star Bubble, but also responsible for organizing everyone to plant grass. How could he not witness such a happy event?
Except for Yang Xu, everyone else in the family came: Yang Rui was holding a nine-tooth nail rake, Xiaolan was looking at the green carpet in the distance with Milan's big eyes, and Xiaobai was playing with Xiaohei's big tail. But from their mouths, it is clear that they don't want to ask anything. Lao Li took a step forward and ran back to check. After a while, he dragged the confused old king back. He dared to sleep in.
Lao Wang rubbed his eyes and cheered: "Sprouted, grass seeds sprouted, I said, it's time for us to prosper in Jiangbei!" β
Uncle Manager really wanted to criticize him. How can a young man always sleep lazy. However, looking at Lao Wang's haggard face, he swallowed the words back into his stomach and waved his arms vigorously: "Go to work!" β
A couple of half-grown boys from the village ran ahead. For them, running on green grass feels good. As a result, he was quickly called back, and then Lao Chu picked up his cane and knocked it on his buttocks one by one: "You can't trample the grass, if you want to trample the seedlings to death, why don't you kill them first!" β
Seeing that the children were full of grievances, Lao Wang rushed forward and persuaded for a while. How can there be such delicate grass? It's just like a normal person. Survival is hard. Even if there is a large rock on it, it can arch out from the side, let alone step on two feet. As long as it's not uprooted, it'll be fine.
Lao Chu just calmed down, but he still made a rule: no one can harm the grassland at will, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave when he is old.
It's another move, but it's really a hundred shots. Everyone is careful when walking on the grass. When we arrived at the place where we had planted grass a few days ago, we could clearly see a zigzag dividing line: one side was tender green, and the other side was sandy yellow, very clear, like the dividing line between the Chu River and the Han River.
Seeing such a scene, everyone is more energetic. They began without orders, no one cheated. Even the manager nodded: I haven't seen so much energy in many years!
The villagers didn't know that there were more surprises waiting for them.
At noon, when we were about to rest, when we were about to come back from a walk with farm tools, we only heard Chu Lao say, "Look at the bubbles." Are you dazzled? Why do you look at that bright white? β
"Lao Chu, you have worked hard and are dizzy. Go home and restβ"Someone is there for you to comfort you." However, some people have already taken the lead in running like this, and Lao Li is the first.
The Seven Star Bubbles, as the name suggests, have a total of seven large bubbles. The one closest to Jiangbei is also the smallest. Although it is the smallest, it also covers an area of 1000 acres and is a vast lake. Because it is closest to Jiangbei, it is called Grizzly Bear Bubble.
Jiangcheng is six or seven miles from the village, along a river that winds around the village and then connects to a tributary of the Songhua River, which is dozens of miles away.
However, this was the old calendar more than a decade ago, and now the river has long since dried up. The main reason is that there are no large bubbles to provide fresh water. At most, in the summer, heavy rains fall suddenly, and a muddy yellow mud soup can be seen in the river. After two or three days of flowing, it returned to its original state and the river turned into a drainage ditch. This has to say who is very sad.
So when Lao Chu said that the grizzly bear was white and bright, most people thought it was old and dark. But as more and more people looked there, they started running in amazement.
"Wait for me to ......" Lao Chu can't run at such an old age. He was so anxious that he jumped very high.
Lao Wang next to him smiled and came over to help him. He's confident, so there's no rush. As a result, Lao Chu hit him twice on the ankle with a cane: "Dog. Mother, you can't slip through with me! β
"Listen to the orderβ" Wang bent down and picked up the old man and ran towards the grizzly bear.
Go down to the bubbles and step on the sand and walk forward. It's a funnel-shaped pit. The deepest point is only ten meters, but it is a gentle slope, so you can see some clues from a distance.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the grizzly bubble, there is a large pool of water with a radius of several tens of meters. People stand by the water to learn. Some say spring is open, others say it's water stored in the constant rainfall these days.
"I didn't hear that spring rain can store water!" Lao Chu retorted confidently. Spring rains are scarce and there is little water seepage below. What's more, there is sand here, and the water seeps out faster.
Everyone couldn't hide their excitement when they heard it. We all have to look at the weather. Of course, we know the important role of water in grasslands. If spring really opens, then God will open it.
It's just that the bubbles have been working for more than ten years, so they don't believe they can come back to life.
"The water is rising again!" Lao Li Liang lit up the soles of his shoes. The place where he stood was dry bush sand, but now the soles of his shoes were soaked with water.
It seems that it is really rising - the crowd did not retreat, but stood on the edge of the waterline, ready to verify it for themselves.
Even Lan Lan's eyes widened. She looked at the water in Milan, then looked back at Uncle Chubby. From the smile on the thief's face, she seemed to have discovered something.
Also, my uncle is busy outside these days. Every day, it was almost dawn before he went home. Lan Lan can be sure that it all has to do with my uncle. But since my uncle didn't say it, she certainly won't.
Yes, Lao Wang instigated all this. Now that the contract is in hand, he is not worried at all. Of course, he had to throw his arms and work hard.
However, the diversion project is not as simple as it seems. He came here almost every day for a week. The biggest obstacle is changes in the earth's crust. The pristine spring water is blocked by rocks. They are all tens of meters deep underground. They relied on him to control the flow and impact again and again, which was completely laborious and consumed a lot of energy.
As the saying goes, a drop of water pierces a stone. The project was finally completed last night. Groundwater erupts through rock barriers. As for the sediment above, it is not resistant to the effects of the current.
The water column several meters high soared into the sky, and the cool water immediately soaked Lao Wang into a soup chicken, and also cleared his exhaustion. At this moment, his heart is extremely excited and happy, and the great sense of accomplishment makes him extremely comfortable.
Just like now, watching the old and young people discuss passionately around the blisters, that feeling of comfort came back to me. Moreover, Lao Wang is also eager to pass on this joy to everyone and share it with them.
So he did one more thing, and saw that in the center of the bubble, a jet of water gushed out, like a fountain, spraying crystal water jets everywhere. When illuminated by the sun, it shines like a pearl with a colorful glow.
Oh β as the water gushed out, so did the cheers of the people. All doubts and worries were washed away by the water jet. They know the grizzly bubble is alive again!
