Of course, Lin Mu would not be stupid enough to eat these twenty-eight grains of wheat. These grains of wheat were not enough to fill his teeth, and each grain he ate was missing.
He planted them all in the soil beside the spring.
Now this spring can no longer be called a spring.
Under Lin Mu's careful care, the spring water inside is no longer carried away by sandstorms, and most of the steamed water vapor is intercepted by the trees in the oasis and flows back into the spring pool.
This caused the original small spring pond with a diameter of two meters to become a large pond with a diameter of ten meters.
The entire oasis, with the support of this large pond, no longer has to worry about water shortage, and it has grown to a diameter of two thousand meters.
On the edge of the oasis, Lin Mu planted two rows of large trees using the old-fashioned method.
This allows the oasis to form two areas, the new and the old. The new area will still encounter a few sandstorms, while the old area is not afraid of sandstorms at all.
It's the third year in a blink of an eye.
Of the twenty-eight grains of wheat planted by Lin Mu last year, five died, and twenty-three grains grew into wheat, yielding more than six hundred grains of wheat.
Lin Mu continued to plant all this wheat.
The oasis continued to expand outward, from a diameter of two thousand meters to a diameter of five thousand meters.
The original oasis had only about 300 trees, but now it has more than 6,000 trees.
There were more than 200 fruit trees in that batch, producing more than 6,000 fruits.
Now Lin Mu no longer plants this kind of fruit trees on a large scale and allows them to grow on their own, because he can no longer eat all the fruits in front of him.
Today, there are three areas in the oasis, the peripheral area, the middle area and the core area.
In the core area, the diameter of the pond expanded to thirty meters.
The prosperity of the oasis has attracted a large number of birds to inhabit it, and finally there are other creatures in this oasis besides forest and animal husbandry.
With the arrival of large numbers of birds, they also brought a variety of seeds and organisms.
There are more and more plants in the oasis, such as sand bamboo, mugwort, cotton and willow, and food also includes Elaeagnus angustifolia, grapes, corn, tomatoes and sugar beets.
In addition, many birds caught fish from far away and threw them into the pond.
What expands faster than trees is the grass.
Beyond the two rows of woods on the edge is a large grassland, at least 10,000 meters in diameter.
"Brother, there is an oasis ahead!"
One day in the third year, a surprising sound came from the desert far away from the oasis.
"It's saved, we're finally saved."
"As early as five days ago, we drank all the water. As a result, we encountered a sandstorm and lost our direction. If we continue like this, we are really going to die. Fortunately, there is no road ahead."
"There were more than thirty of us, but most of them died on the road. We were the only ones left. I thought we were all going to die here too."
Then, there was a burst of excited cheers around him, and many people even choked with sobs.
This is a team of thirteen people, and they are holding many cages, and the cages contain various animals, including antelopes, deer, wolves, wild horses, bison, and even lions and leopards.
"Let's go."
Among the thirteen people, there was a man with thick eyebrows, chapped lips, and a very excited expression.
The animals behind them were all equally weak from thirst, lying powerlessly in their cages. When they saw the oasis in front of them, they all roared.
"kindness?"
In the oasis, Lin Mu was watering the wheat when he suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast outside and was startled.
Outside this oasis is an endless desert. Except for some birds, beasts can't reach it at all. He has stayed here for three years and has never seen other beasts. He didn't expect to hear the roar of beasts today.
Then, he put down the barrel in his hand and walked in the direction of the sound.
Not long after, he saw a caravan.
This caravan carries many boxes, and there are many wild beasts escorted behind the caravan. It seems to be a caravan that makes a living by selling wild beasts.
When Lin Mu saw the caravan, the people in the caravan also saw Lin Mu.
"Is there anyone in this oasis?"
The people in the caravan couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, they were even more surprised.
If there are people, it means that there is not only water but also food. Now they have run out of ammunition and food. If this continues, they will consider eating the beasts behind them.
Looking at the size of the oasis, they did not dare to be too presumptuous, thinking that there were many people living in it.
"This young man."
The senior brother who led the caravan came up and said, "We are lost in this desert and have been without water for five days. I hope you can save my life."
Seeing them, Lin Mu thought of himself three years ago. He did not refuse and nodded: "Come in."
Hearing this, the senior brother was extremely excited: "Thank you very much, sir."
Next, this group of people followed Lin Mu and stepped into this oasis.
When they arrived at the oasis, they quickly discovered the large pond, rushed over to it crazily, and lay down by the pond to drink big gulps of water.
Now Lin Mu was not short of food. When they had almost finished drinking, he brought out a lot of fruits to satisfy their hunger.
After solving their hunger problem, the group of people finally recovered and began to look at the oasis.
"Sir, is there anyone else in this oasis?"
After looking around, the senior brother said in astonishment.
"I'm the only one here."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Three years ago, like you, I discovered this oasis when I was about to die, and I never left. I just maintained this oasis here. After three years, I finally developed this oasis to what it is today.
Look."
After hearing Lin Mu's words, many people in the caravan showed admiration.
But then, their eyes flickered.
"Senior brother, we have to return to Chiyun Country. This journey is long and we have to cross countless deserts. We can't do it without water and food."
Soon, a caravan member ran to the senior brother and whispered in his ear.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that although Lin Mu's cultivation was suppressed, his six senses were still much sharper than ordinary people, and he could hear his words clearly.
"Son."
The senior brother nodded, then looked at Lin Mu with a smile and said: "Our caravan is under the orders of the leader of the Chiyun Kingdom to go to the Central Plains to bring the holy beasts back to the country. Now we have to return to the Chiyun Kingdom. It is convenient for you now.
, can you give us some food and water?"
"It's okay to give you some, but I can't give you too much. After all, my oasis has just been developed and I can't drain it all."
Lin Mu Road.
The senior brother grinned: "We don't need much, as long as you give me half of the food here and ten buckets of water."
"More than half?"
Lin Mu frowned.
At this time, another person in the caravan said: "Brother, look there is still some wheat there."
The senior brother's eyes lit up slightly when he saw it, and he said: "There's also some wheat, there's not much of it anyway, so just give it to us. It shouldn't be a big problem to get a bowl of rice. We haven't had a decent meal for a long time.
