The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 606 The Old Farm Lady 2
After eating a full meal, the next day, the family returned to the days when they could only eat two meals a day, and each meal was only a little bit.

But this is better than others, at least they still have food every day.

Everyone else in the village only eats once a day.

Jia Huan would go to the cliff where he planted sweet potatoes every night after giving his grandson extra meals.

A few days is not enough for Jia Huan to achieve something in cultivation, but at least he has started, his skills have become more flexible, and his speed has become faster.

Going back and forth between home and Yaxia every day, from the first three hours to the next one hour, half an hour, and 15 minutes.

Jia Huan buried the spiritual stone brought from the cultivation world under the cliff, and arranged a formation to speed up the growth of plants.

He transplanted some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space to the outside every day, and planted sweet potatoes on the bottom of the cliff and the surrounding mountains.

After half a month, both sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe.

Jia Huan approached the village chief.

The village chief sat in a daze in the yard of his house, holding a dry tobacco rod in his hand, but there were no tobacco leaves in it.

Now that I can't even eat enough, how can I still smoke?
Feeling the dry air without any moisture, the village chief sighed repeatedly.

If things go on like this, this year's crops will not be produced.

Without food, how many people will starve to death? !

At this time, he saw a little old woman rushing into his yard.

"Lao Qi's family, why are you in such a hurry?" the village head asked disconsolately.

The village head is also surnamed Jia, and he is a cousin of Yuanshen's husband. Yuanshen, a widow, is able to raise the child safely, thanks to the help of these relatives of Jia's family.

Jia Huan looked very pleasantly surprised, and said loudly: "Second brother, I found a bunch of wild sweet potatoes and potatoes under the cliff on the mountain, please inform everyone, and go into the mountain with me to dig red vegetarian potatoes."

The village chief was refreshed, stood up abruptly, and asked, "Sweet potatoes? How many are there?"

Jia Huan: "A lot, enough for the villagers to eat for ten days and half a month."

The village chief immediately ran to his house: "Then what are you waiting for? I will inform everyone."

While speaking, he took out a gong from the room, walked out of the yard, and began to bang bang bang.

He knocked and yelled loudly: "Everyone pay attention, sweet potatoes are found in the mountains, hurry up and carry baskets into the mountains!"

There was a commotion in the village all of a sudden, people who were lying down and sitting still ran out of the house, shouting, "Where are the sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Jia Huan stood up: "I know, everyone come with me."

"Let's go, let's follow Jia Qi's family."

The crowd surrounded Jia Huan and went to the mountains.

Jia Gui and Chunhua rushed up with baskets on their backs.

In the past ten days, Chunhua was able to eat enough, her body gradually recovered, and she was able to work in the fields.

Hearing that my mother was going to take the whole village to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes, how could Chunhua lie down, so she immediately took her husband and went out, lest it would be too late, and the sweet potatoes would be snatched up by others.

The whole village went out together, including children, carrying small baskets and following the adults.

Even if there was danger in the mountains, they were scared away by so many people.

Jia Huan led the crowd to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing the two crops growing very gratifyingly, everyone was stunned.

Because of the drought, the crops at the foot of the mountain died of drought.

Even if there is no death from drought, the growth is very poor, and the harvest is not to be expected.

But here, how come it looks so good?
Could it be that there is some legendary paradise under this cliff?

When everyone dug up the soil and dug out the sweet potatoes and potatoes buried below one catty each, they were even more sure of their guess that this cliff was a paradise.

After digging out all the sweet potatoes, is it possible to continue planting here and still be able to grow high-quality and large-volume crops?

With so many people, the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in this area were quickly dug up.

Everyone carried almost half a basketful of sweet potatoes home.

They were smiling, and their steps down the mountain were much lighter.

I can have a full meal today.

Jia Gui and Chunhua dug more than 30 catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes back home, plus what Jia Huan brought back for the first time, the family now has more than 50 catties of food, which is enough for them to eat for two months - eat sparingly.

There was no longer a crisis of starvation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This night, many people went to sleep with satisfied smiles.

The next day, the village head took the men of the village into the mountain to level the land at the bottom of the cliff, and the women started breeding.

After the seeds are grown, men and women go into the mountains together to sow the seeds.

It doesn't matter whether it is the most suitable season for planting or not, they are already very happy to be able to grow things.

After several days of busy work, all the sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted.

The villagers are full of expectations for this land, and people come here every day to check the situation.

Then, everyone discovered the miracle of this land.

The crops planted here grow ten times faster than the crops grown on ordinary land. The sweet potatoes and potatoes that were planted just a few days ago showed a tendency to mature in just a dozen days.

This is simply paradise in the famine!
With this piece of land, everyone will have food to eat, no need to starve, and no one will starve to death.

On that day, the whole village sat together and held a meeting.

After that, the land under the cliff became the secret base of the whole village, and no one was allowed to disclose the existence there to outsiders.

Adults should take good care of their children and prevent them from leaking out.

The villagers expressed that they must keep the secret.

That piece of land is everyone's hope of survival, how could it be possible for others to know?

As for the young daughter-in-law from another village...

Is your own family or your mother's family important?

Many women can tell the difference.

The women who couldn't tell the difference were locked up at home by their own men and were not allowed to go out.

The woman with a clear distinction took her own sweet potatoes from Shanliwa back to her natal family to help her family survive the crisis.

This way not only preserves her natal family, but also won't break the taboo of the whole village, killing two birds with one stone.

Relying on this mountain, the villagers survived the disaster year safely, and no one died of starvation.

People in the surrounding villages followed suit, borrowing food from them to survive the most difficult period.

After the disaster, when crops are planted on the land under the cliff, the rapid growth effect will not be there before. Instead, the crops will grow slower than in ordinary fields.

The elders in the village said it was because they had survived the disaster, and the mountain god withdrew his supernatural powers.

In fact, Jia Huan revoked the accelerated plant growth formation.

The villagers believed this rhetoric. Although they did not dare to build a mountain temple openly, the villagers would sneak into the mountain to worship the mountain god.

This is still a tacit secret in the village.
