Chapter 8: Sanglaleba and Farming

On the way home from Cliff Mansion, Summer began to review his actions.

Surprisingly smooth......

The old butler Victor was very good-looking, and looked majestic, but he always gave him the impression that he was not very smart.

is either really innocent, or pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and it seems that the former is the majority.

Could it be that it was because this honesty and loyalty reassured Cliff that he could live safely until now, but he became the most senior confidant?

In addition to the fact that this kind of subordinate cannot be alone, it is indeed very worry-free.

However, this time the process of working from home can go so smoothly, and it is indispensable to have the assistance of a certain blood clan.

Noens Yastalot.

According to his self-introduction, he is a ...... who is responsible for miscellaneous work

It's quite vivid to some extent.

When Su Mo first met Norns, he was looking at the gate, and the work of standing guard made him feel like he was on vacation, and he almost didn't move a chair to admire the moon and eat melon seeds.

The second time was when he was still lying in bed, when Nornes came to the moon......

In fact, he knocked on Su Mo's window and asked if he had any extra collectibles so that he could take them back and hand them over.

Stepping on the moon, politely tell me before stealing something, you are the thief Chu Liuxiang?

Su Mo complained silently, and then responded: "Is the theft so blatant now?" ”

"It's not fair and fair, and it's theoretically a blatant warning."

The black-haired and red-eyed Nornes sat sideways on the windowsill, his long hair tied into a single ponytail draped over his right shoulder, his face handsome and a little green, bathed in the crimson moonlight, there was a hazy beauty, but it was very real.

He spread out his palms to catch the flowing moonlight, and at the same time smiled at Su Mo and spoke.

"Just like being able to take your precious collection today, you can take your life when you have time......

"That's what it means, right?

"Haha, I can't make it up, I don't know which genius came up with the investigation plan with a pat on the head, and I have to pinch my nose and do it, it's really sad.

"I'm just a handyman, after all."

Su Mo, who has also become a supernumerary handyman, successfully returned to the remote manor.

Outside the small single-family building where he lived, the surrounding wasteland had been preliminarily reclaimed into farmland by Grover and the two manservants, in accordance with his wishes.

During the reclamation phase, Grover, a housekeeper with farming experience, and Abel Larry, a manservant with farming expertise, played a crucial role.

They first measured the area of the wasteland, and after Grover consulted Sumer, the plan delineated a 52-meter x 36-meter reclamation area, or 1,872 square meters, equivalent to 2.8 acres of land before the crossing.

Dividing the area with tree branches, Grover, Blake, and Able all went into battle using tools to dig the earth, piling up the excavated dirt in the circled area and becoming part of the ridge.

During this period, the split tree trunk was used to assist in the reclamation of the vertical ridge, and after fixing the two tree trunks, the soil was poured directly into the middle, and some stones were placed on the ground according to the terrain to intercept.

The farmland needs to be irrigated with water, and water is diverted from a nearby pond to fill the field, and then ditches are dug in every two adjacent ridges of the farmland to bury pipes for water.

There is still water on the farmland, and according to Grover, it needs to be stored for another blood moon day, and when the soil is soft, the field will be "ripe" and can be easily ploughed and turned.

And during the time when the farmland was filled with water, they were not idle.

While Blake was in charge of dinner in the kitchen, Grover and Able accompanied Summer around the preliminarily cleared farmland, taking him to see the dug drains and the bales of airplane grass collected from the hillside roads under makeshift sheds......

"Airplane grass?"

This unusually familiar and suggestive title made Su Mo stunned for a while.

Grover introduced to him that airplane grass is a tenacious, fast-growing weed in the wild, and although the leaves are poisonous, it is a natural medicine for trauma and hemostasis, and most importantly, it is free......

"Just like the sanga fruit used to make Sanglaleba, airplane grass only needs to be planted with a handful of seeds to grow wildly, and these two plants are the key to survival for many humans struggling in the wilderness as a staple food and medicine."

Su Mo muttered, "Wilderness struggle......"

As if he understood what he was thinking, Grover's eyes showed complicated emotions, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, the protection of the blood clan comes at a price, and there are always some people who don't want to get this kind of protection......"

Another valet turned farmer, Abel Larry, is a pure-blooded human like Grover.

Perhaps it was after Blake's trembling artistic creation, Su Mo's unpretentious old peasant temperament with soft eyebrows and eyes brought him a trace of long-lost kindness, and he also mustered up the courage to say at this time:

"Young Master Eli, not all humans are eligible for the protection of the Blood Clan, and those who can stand here are all screened humans.

"Just like my former brother, he is a congenital deformity, so he is not allowed to enter the city of the Blood Clan, and can only be banished to the wilderness to fend for himself......"

Grover shook his head and added rather experiencedly, "It's not completely self-fending, and this situation usually hands over the child to some group tribe. Just living in the wilderness, never knowing which one will come first, tomorrow or calamity.

At this time, he also realized that he had talked a little too much, and hurriedly pulled back the topic of distraction:

"Young master, in addition to the effect of stopping bleeding from trauma, airplane grass is also a good natural fertilizer.

"After ploughing and turning over the soil, bury the airplane grass in batches in the field, and when it completely decays, you can turn the barren wasteland into a fertile field to a certain extent......"

'I know that the humus in the soil, the organic compounds formed by the decomposition of the remains of animals and plants by microorganisms. ’

Su Mo answered silently in his heart, but he didn't say it, just listened quietly.

Perhaps it was his attitude of not taking a stand and listening carefully that made Grover and Abel unconsciously relax, forgetting the gap in identity for a moment, and naturally complaining or talking.

After Grover had finished explaining the role of the airplane grass, Su Mo finally asked the first question of the day: "Why is it called that?" ”

"Name?" Grover repeated, "Planes...... Grass? ”

On his wrinkled face, there was a rare little dazedness: "Is there anything wrong with this name?" I don't know why I call it airplane grass, but I remember that most people call it that......"

"About this...... I do know something. Abel weakly raised his hand and replied, "In fact, the real name of the airplane grass is not airplane grass, but the purple-stemmed Zeland, and the airplane grass is just a common name." As my teacher said, it seems to have been handed down from a long time ago......"

Su Mo fell into an unspeakable silence.

Once upon a time – how long?

It's night.

Su Mo didn't dream, just sat at his desk, bathed in the red moonlight, sorting out a piece of history that was always ignored or even forgotten.

The original Creator, who had slumbered in the center of the earth, awakened and divided, bringing extraordinary properties and pollution to the Earth, and the remnants of power formed a barrier beyond the planet.

Then the stars shone brightly, the gray mist filled, the crimson moon, and chaos emerged...... The human civilization of the old era is coming to an end.

Life on Earth has died on a large scale, but it has not perished, including humans.

What can be called a remnant of the past is not just Bai Zao who accidentally fell into the Chaos Sea, nor is it just the hundreds of silkworm cocoons that were hung up in the Source Fort.

Perhaps, those who are buried directly in the old capital when the end comes, those who are selected by the essentia due to various fates are also the lucky ones, and the real unfortunate ones are those who are lucky enough to survive the end of the old days.

…… and the descendants of the remnants of the past.

When the surviving life on Earth transforms into a transcendent race, in the evil and crazy blood age, the human race struggles to survive.
