Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 12
(My friend invites you to dinner, so post half an hour early, I wish you all a happy day!)
Now the aura in the space is abundant, and all the crops seem to have been greatly improved.At least on the surface, the flowers are more gorgeous, the stems and leaves are greener, and the fruits are bigger. You can smell the sweet fragrance when you get closer.With a thought, Muai picked out a melon and tasted it. Just after taking a bite, it was like accidentally breaking a perfume bottle. The unique sweet smell of muskmelon quickly filled the room, making Muai, who hadn’t eaten fruit for a long time, reluctantly I couldn't help picking two more out, and I had a good time eating them.Sure enough, these fruits have been exposed to the light of the Lingquan, and the quality has improved a lot, but there is no laboratory here, so we can't know exactly what nutrients are rich in them, so we can only praise them for their deliciousness.

Looking at it as a whole, there is no place in the space that she needs to worry about for the time being. Although most of the fruits, rice and vegetables are already ripe, there is no need to rush to harvest them.Because the magic of the space lies in the fact that plants grow in it, even if they are ripe, they will not spoil, and will only remain in the most delicious state.

In modern times, these species are everywhere, and the wood ai doesn’t feel so precious, and they are moved to space to plant for convenience. However, in this different time and space where species are extremely scarce, these have become treasures, and they have been so idle. She felt that it was a waste to leave it alone, thinking that one day she would have free time, and she would pick all the ripe fruits and harvest the rice.

In this way, Mu Ai stayed in the space for several nights, and finally managed to know it well.After careful consideration of the month and the climate, she decided to grow some vegetables with a short growing season. Not to mention that selling them to the Cyclamen House could earn a fortune, this was also the key to her standing in the village. Although grandma was very protective of her, she could not Always rely on the old lady to live a lifetime.Perhaps the old lady still hoped that her husband and parents would survive the catastrophe and reunite with her.But she herself knew that these three people were all fabricated by her out of thin air, and they were totally unnecessary characters.She is just a weak woman who accidentally crossed the space barrier and carried a large number of treasures. She is always afraid and worried, and she is cautious, cautious, and cautious in everything she does.

Perhaps, the most urgent task is to find a way to protect yourself from being harmed at will...

Another five or six days passed in Muai's contemplation, and the weather began to enter the rainy season.When I got up early this morning, the sky was a bit dark, the old lady squinted her eyes slightly, looked carefully at the clouds in the sky, and then called Mu Ai and Shuan Shuan to come over, "Look at the clouds in the sky, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain, fairy Xian helped grandma collect the things in the yard, and Shuan Shuan should not go out. In case of rain, be careful of getting cold!" Mu Ai agreed, and then she and the old lady picked up the drying booths under the east courtyard wall. Pack of grains.

Shuan Shuan pouted, sitting on the threshold without moving, and Mu Ai remembered that Erhong came to her last night and whispered to her for a long time, as if they wanted to go to the river to catch fish together.However, if it really rains, the river will swell, which will be dangerous.It's better to find something delicious to coax her in a while.

Waiting for the old lady to bring the corn into the barn, Mu Ai sat next to Shuan Shuan, stretched out her hand to embrace her, and scratched her little nose, "Shuan Shuan, have you made an appointment with Erhong to go to the riverside to play together?" ah?"

The little girl nodded aggrievedly.

"We are such a sensible Shuan Shuan, why did he become stupid today." The little girl raised her head and stared at her sister in disbelief when she heard her sister say that she was stupid.

Mu Ai was not angry, and said patiently, "Think about it, Shuan Shuan, if it's going to rain, the river will rise, so if you children go to play, you will be swept away by the river if you are not careful." , who will save you at that time. Grandma and sister will cry and be very sad. Do you want this? "

The little girl blinked her eyes and only thought about catching fish. She really didn't expect to be in danger. After all, she was only ten years old, and she was still fond of playing. Although she lived with her grandma all the year round and knew how to help with housework, such a young child , in modern times, they are only in the third grade of elementary school, which is the age to play and roll around for a new set of toys.

"Sister Xianxian, if I don't go, Erhong will be angry if she can't wait for me by the river, and... I also want to catch big fish for my grandma and sister to eat." There was a gleam in Shuan Shuan's eyes eager.

Mu Ai was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that this little girl was catching fish to eat. Thinking about it carefully, I have been here for so long, it seems that I have never eaten fish. People in the mountains, if they stew a pheasant, it is still possible, but the fish is probably It is really rare to eat.Thinking of those fat and big fish and shrimp raised in the space, I grinned, guys, I will eat you tonight.

He lowered his head and pinched the little girl's nose, "Silly girl, it's raining, and Erhong will definitely not go to the river. If you don't believe me, you can ask when the rain stops. As for eating fish, my sister has a way." , I will cook fish for you at night, okay?"

When the little girl heard that there were fish to eat, she wondered whether Er Hong would be angry, clapped her hands, and shouted happily, "There are fish to eat tonight, Shuan Shuan wants to eat big fish!"

The old lady came out of the barn and saw her jumping all over the floor, she laughed and scolded her, "Crazy girl, she is already ten years old, she is not a big girl yet, she knows how to be greedy."

Shuan Shuan was so scolded that he honestly lowered his head, and while grandma wasn't paying attention, he turned his head and made a face at Mu Ai.It made her laugh too, turned around and helped the old lady into the house, closed the doors and windows, and within half an hour, the heavy rain began to pour down.The old lady was lying on the edge of the window, looking out, with a slight worry on her face.

"When Shuan Shuan's grandfather was still alive, she was good at estimating the drought and flood seasons by looking at the sky. The folks in the village shouldn't chat with him at the beginning of spring. It's a pity that the old man left as soon as he said it. The old woman is no problem. But, looking at the sky in the south, I'm afraid I'm going to get angry this year."

"South?" Mu Ai asked suspiciously. She simply flipped through the history books in the past few days, and roughly understood that this is an overhead world that is partly the same as the original world in ancient times, so she threw it aside.Today I originally planned to read about criminal law, but as for travel notes and geography, it is not very useful for the time being, and she hasn't had time to browse it yet, so when the old lady said south, she didn't know what place south was referring to.

The old lady turned around and sat back on the bed, took out the sewing basket, and sighed, "You child, I don't know when you will remember everything, don't you just come from the south?"

When Mu Ai asked, she also realized that she had said the wrong thing. Seeing that the old lady was picking up the embroidery thread seriously, she didn't seem to have any doubts, and she was a little relieved.Smiling, he asked the old lady, "Grandma doesn't want immortals anymore. Could it be that she hopes that immortals will remember and go back to the south so that they won't have to eat for immortals, right?"

After hearing this, the old lady gave her a smirk, and her subordinates continued to embroider flowers, nagging, "You are a little daughter-in-law who has been married before, how can you cheat more than Shuan Shuan, grandma and Shuan Shuan doesn't eat your cooking every day, I wish you could stay here for the rest of your life, it's okay if you can't remember, grandma will tell you."

Mu Ai smiled and pulled Shuan Shuan to sit next to the old lady, "Shuan Shuan, I'm listening to grandma telling a story."

"What story to tell, my old lady has never seen much of the world, and I have only been to Kao City a few times at the farthest, so I can tell you what I can learn from the gossip of everyone on weekdays. "

"Okay, grandma, let's talk, Shuan Shuan and I both love to hear it." Mu Ai took out three pieces of candy, picked up one piece and fed it to the old lady, and shared the other two pieces with Shuan Shuan.A family of three started chatting with sweet candies in their mouths.

"Grandma told you the story of Mount Shen before. She mentioned that we are very close to the border of Heishui Kingdom. Huawang City is the northernmost city in Baihua Kingdom. If you go all the way south, there are more than [-] other cities. Huadu is almost in the middle. According to others, the south is much warmer than ours, and those towns are more prosperous than ours. Although the food in the world is like this, the life of the people is almost the same. But , those next to the sea can catch fish and sell money, and those next to the mountains raise silkworms and weave silk satin, so they are much better than us. There is an old saying that the gods will not bestow all blessings on one person. In the south There is also a downside. There are too many big rivers and too wide, unlike our small rivers here that are as shallow as knees. It may not be a year when there is heavy rain, there will be floods, and the fields and houses will be submerged in water and they will die A lot of people…"

When the old lady said this, she let out a long sigh, closed her eyes and said a few words "God bless" silently, and Mu Ai couldn't help asking, "Will the lord use the stored food to help the victims?" She thought of countless novels in her heart. It was written in the book that every time there is a natural disaster, the country will release food for disaster relief. Isn't it here?

"I've also heard people say that the lord of the country ordered the distribution of grain, but the grain is too little and there are too many people in distress, so the relief is not enough. It was more than ten years ago. At that time, Grandpa Shuan Shuan was still alive. , I went to Kao City with him to buy daily necessities for the family. Just in time for the south to send water, a group of refugees escaped. Many people on the street were begging on their knees, and there were also children and daughters who were just begging for a piece of pancake. It was a miserable situation."
