All the people in the tribe went to the pumpkin patch, some planted at the foot of the mountain, and some planted in the sugar cane field. It took a few days to finish planting the pumpkins. It took more than half a month to finish planting all the beans.
.
Everyone was so busy that their heels couldn't touch the ground, and everyone was so tired that they were black and thin, which was more effective than diet pills.
After finishing their work, everyone had a good rest for the day. Yun Amu took some flowers and made a bunch of delicious food to reward everyone.
Yao Xiaoqing chewed beef jerky and strolled outside to take a look at the sugar cane. She was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the sugar cane pockets were alive, and the sugar cane that had grown up had reached her waist.
And those fruit trees that survived.
Among the fruit trees she knew, the small pear tree had a few white pear flowers. Several persimmon trees and pepper trees also had small bright yellow flowers.
While she was happy, she was also a little worried. Judging from the records on her notepad, in more than two months and almost three months since the beginning of the busy farming season, there had only been two light rains, and both times the ground was not even wet.
The rain stopped.
There are only six cloudy days, and the sun shines brightly every day on the remaining days. I have never seen days with continuous spring rain.
The water in the river is also shallower, and the water flowing down from the ravine is smaller than before.
When irrigating crops, even if the water outlet is blocked, it will take half a day for the water in the ditch to fill up to the drainage outlet opened at the edge of the field.
She found Yao Hu and told him the situation.
Although Yaohu had experienced drought, they had never had the experience to deal with such a thing. Their ancestors' coping method was to migrate.
He looked at her blankly, "Xiaoqing, is there anything you can do?"
Yao Xiaoqing said: "Let's dig the reservoir first, and with the water in those ponds, it shouldn't be a problem to irrigate the crops. We can dig wells for drinking water."
She feels that the groundwater resources here should be very abundant, and drilling wells should not be a problem.
"Water well?" Yaohu had never heard of it before, "What is it?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said: "Father, the gods tell me that there is water under the ground. As long as you find the right place and dig to a depth as long as a bamboo, water will come out."
"The wells look a bit like the big wooden barrels we use to bathe. There are also bigger ones. Let's wait and see. If there is a drought, we will start digging wells to get water."
After hearing this, Yao Hu didn't even think about it, and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, then let's dig the reservoir first. When there is really no water, we can dig the well you mentioned."
Yao Xiaoqing suddenly thought of something again, "Father, has the day come for the Shenmu tribe's battle?"
She felt that it was really a headache not to have an accurate date, so she just said that we would fight again next spring. There are more than a hundred days in spring. Who knows when you will come?
Yao Hu frowned and said, "I'm thinking about this too! Let's not go hunting for now. Let's fix the water reservoir and granary you mentioned in the tribe, as well as the roof that was collapsed by the snow, and wait for them to come."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Did Uncle Dashi tell you that the Great Witch Tribe also has bows and arrows?"
Yao Hu smiled and nodded, "As I said, they also made up two shields and hats. We tried it and it worked, and the wooden arrows with flint added didn't penetrate. We are not busy now, let Ah Chong
Uncle and the others will hurry up and it will be fine in a few days."
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment, "You can knit two gown-like ones and put them on your body to protect your chest and vest."
"Okay!" Yao Hu looked lovingly at his tired and thin daughter, "Don't worry, my father will take them to do a good job. You can also have a good few days."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "I'm not a child. Even Yaya and Asen are herding cattle and sheep! I'll tell you the location of digging the reservoir. I want to go to the mountains to dig some Panax notoginseng back." She
I still want to see if that patch of ramie has grown?
Yao Hu nodded, "Call your brother to accompany you."
"Brother A and Chong Bo are netting wild ducks together. I can do it myself."
"Invite Yuzi to go with you!"
Yao Xiaoqing could only nod, and the father and daughter went to the field. After she pointed out the location to Yao Hu, she marked the location with a wooden stick and went back.
Yao Xiaoqing went back to pack the things for going out, broke off a few snakes to kill the family, took the engineering shovel, called the taro, and the two of them went out and walked towards the mountain with the baskets on their backs.
The forest is full of flowers of various colors, and there is a sweet smell in the air.
Taro picked a red flower, smelled it, put it in her hair, and turned to look at Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, does it look good?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her round smiling face, nodded and said: "It looks good! Taro, why don't you find someone to match her with?"
"Alas!" Yuzi sighed, "What I like doesn't like me, and I don't want to be with anyone else..."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her in surprise, "You have someone you like, who has such bad eyes and doesn't like our taro, such a good woman."
Taro said angrily: "It's that guy Zhi. He said he likes strong women."
"Hahaha!" Yao Xiaoqing laughed, "You know! He has always liked strong women. Last time they went to the Qiushan Fair, he told my brother to pick a strong woman to come back."
Yuzi rolled her eyes, "What's good about a strong woman? Isn't it just that she has more strength? I am also very strong now! That pig, he doesn't believe it!"
Yao Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Go and have a fight with him, press him to the ground, and let him know that you are very strong."
Taozi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Yao Xiaoqing and begged: "Xiaoqing, please teach me a move. I promise to kill him and make him agree to match with me."
The overlord raised his bow forcefully! After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing gave a thumbs up to Yuzi and said happily: "It turns out that our Yuzi is still a fierce girl. Okay! I will teach you a move when you get back and help you defeat Brother Si."
"
Tuozi didn't know what "fierce girl" meant, but she knew that Yao Xiaoqing's thumbs up meant praising that person for being powerful and capable.
"Xiao Qing, if I really win, he must really want to be paired with me, then I will be with him!"
"Who are you and him?" Yao Xiaoqing looked at her with a smile.
Yuzi's face immediately turned red, "You're still young, I'll tell you later."
Yao Xiaoqing stopped teasing her and nodded with a smile, "Okay, you can tell me when I grow up."
Taro Zi looked at her and thought of Yan Yu. He hesitated and said to her: "Xiao Qing, I found that Yan Yu from the Great Witch Tribe likes you."
Yao Xiaoqing shrugged, "It's no use that he likes me, and I don't like him. Besides, he can't beat me."
Yuzi nodded, "Oh! It's really annoying if you don't like it. I still want to think about finding a pig."
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at her in surprise, "Does anyone in the tribe like you?"
Yuzi twisted and said, "Yeah! Quan likes me, but I don't like him. I think he's like a bamboo pole. I like someone as strong as a pig."
