sleep forever

056 Tachibana cavalry

In this way, Alice stayed at Chen Xiansong's house. She and Bai Min worked together every day, and she was very happy.Chen Xiansong said several times that she is a guest, so she doesn't have to work so hard, just stay here, but Alice said: "I eat and drink for nothing at your place, of course I have to help you work, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

Chen Xiansong had to let her.After Alice moved in, the place became more lively. Usually, Chen Xiansong likes to sleep, but Bai Min doesn't talk much. The building has always been very quiet, but now there is a chattering girl, and it suddenly becomes lively.Alice seems to be a natural pistachio, always smiling cheerfully, at least Chen Xiansong has never seen her troubled.

In the morning, she and Bai Min prepared breakfast for Chen Xiansong, cleaned the table, and mopped the floor. In the afternoon, she watched Bai Min 'torture' the six guards and Campbell, while she yelled and applauded.Gradually, the citizens became acquainted with her, and everyone thought she was Chen Xiansong's second woman, and she retorted every time: "Although Your Excellency Chen Xiansong is a good person, he is not my type... ..."

It's just that no one believed it.

After a period of time, the roads between Huishi Village and Black Earth City were repaired, and Udyr sent a special three-horse cart over. The whole body was painted silver and white, with gold trefoil emblems on both sides. The association agrees with Chen Xiansong's performance. With the coat of arms, he has the legal minimum noble status, and all countries will recognize the rights he should have.

Unknowingly, the canal on the mountain was repaired, and the canal in the wasteland was also opened according to Bai Min's blueprint.Standing on the high ground, Chen Xiansong looked at the wasteland that was divided vertically and horizontally into squares without water channels. He imitated the calmness of an adult: "Yes, there are already some farmlands. It looks like it."

Ryan stood beside him and said sadly: "Your Excellency, there are still a lot of stones in the field, which are not suitable for farming. It will take a lot of time to clean them up. We don't have enough manpower. Besides, your land is too big. One hundred mu, we only have more than 40 farmers, and we are too busy. Also, planting fruit trees on the mountain also requires manpower."

"If this wasteland is soaked in water for three days and turned into a paddy field, will it be much easier to clear the stones in the field?"

"Of course it will." Ryan: "But it will take a long time to irrigate such a large piece of land with enough water. In other words, we don't have enough manpower."

"What do you think I built those two waterwheels for?" Chen Xiansong laughed: "Now it's time for those two waterwheels to work."

Ryan shook his head in disbelief.Chen Xiansong said: "Come with me, you will know in a while."

Knowing that their lord seemed to be about to do something big, almost all the citizens put down their work and followed behind Chen Xiansong. They had long wanted to know the purpose of those two unique metal wheels. .

In the 'all eyes', Chen Xiansong pulled the handles of two water trucks successively.The water wheel turns, the drum is raised, and the water is poured into the canal that has been built.Under the sun, the clear water flowed slowly in the channel, and the children cheered and chased the source of the water in front.

Ryan watched the water flow spread in the channel, forked, and then forked, watched the yellow-brown square fields being soaked and slowly turned gray-brown, watched the waterwheel pouring water into the canal continuously In the middle, he looked beside and around him, surprised the speechless people.

"This... this." On the higher slope of Huishi Village, the second uncle looked at the gray-brown land, which was slowly eroding the surrounding yellow-brown. His hand on crutches trembled more and more: "This is... …what?"

"I don't know." Aslan had no expression on his face, and could not see any emotions: "But now I know what the purpose of those two round things is... Originally, we should be able to It’s the right thing to use.”

"I was wrong...I was wrong." The second uncle muttered to himself and walked back to the village, like a stiff puppet.

Originally, the citizens were skeptical about Chen Xiansong and Bai Min's 'ecological agriculture circle', after all, they were too young.But the operation of the two-wheeled waterwheel made all their doubts and anxiety disappear completely.On the second day, the [-]-acre wasteland has now become a patch of paddy fields, because the land has been soaked into mud, and the villagers have easily cleaned out the gravel in the soil - the paddy fields are already usable, but now It is not the season for farming.

Two days later, two large biogas pools were dug at the foot of the mountain.Chen Xiansong asked people to throw all the fallen leaves, dead branches, and excrement into it, saying that it would produce fertilizer.At this time, the citizens were already very convinced of him, and of course they carried out his orders without a doubt.

At this time, it was already the end of autumn.Rice harvesting begins in Huishi Village.At night, a 'Zong Lao' meeting was held in the church.After a busy day, Aslan sat on the main seat. A few days ago, the second uncle put all the rights in his hands. Now, he is the real village head of Huishi Village.

"Winter is coming, but we don't have enough food." Aslan looked at the old people around, and said slowly: "So I plan to take people out, do a mission, and try to get as much food back. But I heard that Uva Small-scale conflicts have broken out between the Kingdom and Tachibana, and with the despicable behavior of the Tachibana army, they will definitely come here to plunder war supplies, and I’m worried that they will come to our door not long after we leave.”

"Then why don't you go out?" An old man or an old man with a confused mind.

Aslan shook his head: "As I said, the food in the village is not enough for the winter."

"Since you have held this gathering, you must have...ahem...a solution." The second uncle's health is getting worse and worse.

"I have two ideas. The first one is the most convenient. The whole village apologizes to His Excellency Chen Xiansong, obtains his forgiveness, and asks him to give us a job. Now he is short of manpower."

"We have no problem apologizing, but will he forgive us?" asked an old man.

Aslan shook his head: "I'm not sure. But Your Excellency Chen Xiansong is a good person, there is still hope."

There was silence in the room, the cool autumn wind swayed the flame of the oil lamp from side to side, and the shadow on the wall twisted back and forth.

The second uncle broke the silence: "Cough... what about the second type."

"I'll only take twenty people out, and the rest will stay in the village." Aslan said slowly, "Combined with the repelling horses we made, the Tachibana cavalry scouts of the team should not be able to break into the village, not to mention there are His Excellency Chen Xiansong is next to us, he will not just sit idly by, and with the addition of Ms. Bai Min and his six guards, it is enough to repel a scout squadron of about [-] people. But in this way, the money we get for missions should not There will be a lot, if you want to survive the winter, you still have to save."

"Adults can go hungry, but children can't afford it." An old man said, "But if you want to stop Tachibana's marauding cavalry, you can't let adults go hungry to fight."

Aslan said: "I am more inclined to the first method. What are your thoughts, elders?"

No one spoke, there was a silence.The second uncle raised his hand and put it down.

"Then use the second method. Tomorrow, I will take people to the city to find suitable tasks." Seeing that no one responded, Aslan's expression was quite disappointed: "Besides, the cavalry of Tachibana may not come to us. If the troubles in the village continue, there will not be enough time."

"Go." The second uncle said suddenly: "We can't rely too much on others... Cough... Don't worry, if there are cavalrymen with Tachibana thorns coming, I won't care about this old face, and I will definitely ask His Excellency Chen Xiansong Rescue."

"I need to trouble Second Uncle with matters in the village." Aslan stood up: "It's late at night, everyone go home and sleep."
