Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 69 Until When?
The place Cheng said is not far away. Walk down the mountain and along the river for about 10 minutes. There is a small diversion to the left where the river turns left. After the diversion, there is a large flat land at the end of about two or three meters. The flat land is dug down. It is indeed very suitable for fish ponds.

Moreover, it is not far from the tribe, which is a good choice. Furthermore, this flat land has a very long distance down the mountain. In addition to digging a fish pond at the top, the lower flat land can also be dug for rice fields. Of course, several ditches must be dug for water.

"How is it here?" Cheng looked at Mu Xiaohua and asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Mu Xiaohua nodded, "It's really good. The fish pond can be dug to the extent that it can be dug, and the place further down can be dug a little bit to make a field."

When I went to Xishan before, I walked down the river for about 10 minutes, then crossed the river and walked to the other side. Mu Xiaohua never thought that walking down the river would be such a good place.

"The fields here are too wet. Someone planted millet and peas a long time ago, and they couldn't do it," Nuo said.

Because of the diversion, the land in this area is wet with water. In addition, the mountain on the left side blocks the sunlight, resulting in insufficient sunlight. Even if there is little water flowing down, the land is still not dry enough.

The dry crops here are naturally not good, but they are very suitable for growing rice.

Mu Xiaohua smiled mysteriously and said, "We don't grow millet and peas, we can grow something else."

"Others? What?" Cheng couldn't help asking.

"Let's talk about it when I go to the mountains to find the seeds!"

Mu Xiaohua won't say more about this matter, the rice in the space is not yet mature, and the season for planting rice has passed now, and it will be a matter of next year to plant it, so let's talk about it later!

Be optimistic about the land, circle the area, and organize young and middle-aged people from the tribe at home to dig fish ponds. The first fish pond is naturally owned by the collective.

Taking advantage of this time, Mu Xiaohua walked down the flat ground, Yu accompanied her, and Chan and Lie went home to get a hoe, but Yu didn't go back if anyone could.

At the end of the flat land is a small hill connected to the mountain on the left. The mountain is not high, and there are some herbaceous vegetation. Mu Xiaohua went to look at the soil quality, and said happily: "It's good to clean up this place and use it as a land for growing vegetables."

"Growing vegetables?" Yu asked in confusion.

Primitive tribes don't have food, and Mu Xiaohua didn't explain too much, saying, "It's the seeds we dry at home, such as eggplant, beans, peppers, and tomatoes."

Speaking of tender eggplants, I haven’t had time to make them yet. There are still two tomatoes left, and the others have been eaten as fruits. However, I looked at the eggplants this morning and the tomatoes are still quite fresh after two or three days.

Not long after, Cheng brought the people from the tribe to dig the fish pond. The fish pond doesn't have to be too deep, just a meter or so down to block the diversion, and everyone started to dig.

While digging, someone suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" someone asked concerned.

"I didn't know what slippery thing my feet touched just now." The man patted his chest with lingering fear.

Slippery stuff?Mu Xiaohua, who was supervising the work on the shore, heard this and asked, "What kind?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it when I slid past my feet."

"Ah! Snake, there is a snake." Suddenly someone screamed and ran to the shore.

The others also retreated to the shore one after another. There are snakes, how can we dig them?It's too dangerous.

Everyone stood on the shore and looked at the fish pond that had just taken shape, not knowing what to do.

"Cheng, what should we do now? Do you want to continue digging?" Someone asked.

Cheng frowned, pondered, he had already dug so much in the fish pond, it would be a pity to give up suddenly, but everyone's safety was more important than that, so he said, "Forget it, let's not dig now!" Turning to look at the wood Xiao Hua asked: "Xiao Hua, what do you think?"

Mu Xiaohua frowned, pondering, if there are snakes underground, you should see the snake hole from the surface, right?Digging so deep to find it now?And such an environment does not seem to be suitable for snakes to survive.

Was that really a snake you just encountered?Mu Xiaohua couldn't help suspecting that because the ground itself was wet, the more it was dug, the more water accumulated. Although a canal was dug for water, there was still water in the ground, and the water was cloudy and it was difficult to see the situation clearly.

"Dig the aqueduct a little bigger, and wait until the water dries up."

"You can wait for the water to dry up, sprinkle with snake repellent, and then dig the next day." Yu said.

"Yeah." Cheng nodded, and everyone thought it was a good idea. They dug the water channel a bit bigger, blocked the diversion well, and everyone went back.

It was almost noon, and I happened to go back to have lunch. I made an appointment with Cheng to go to the fish pond in the afternoon, so we separated and went home.

In the afternoon, Mu Xiaohua went to the fish pond with Yu and Cheng who took the snake repellent.

Mu Xiaohua saw that there was no water, only the muddy ground, she pondered and said: "I'll go down and have a look."

"What are you looking at?" Yu grabbed her.

"I don't think it's a snake, it's something else. I'll see if I can see a hole, and dig to see what it is."

"No, what if it's a snake?"

"Not afraid."

"You are not afraid, I am afraid." Yu's tone was a little harsh.

Mu Xiaohua frowned: "If it's a snake, I won't let it crawl towards you."

"I'm not afraid of snakes, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." Yu looked at Mu Xiaohua helplessly.

Mu Xiaohua stared blankly at Yu, pursed her lips and said, "It's fine, don't worry."

"How to dig, I will dig." Yu said firmly.

Mu Xiaohua shook her head: "No, you won't." As she said that, she fell to the ground, and Yu, who was already holding her, pulled her back and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing?" Mu Xiaohua glared at him.

"I told you not to go." Yu frowned.

Looking at the two people who suddenly hugged each other, Cheng only felt eye pain, frowned and said: "Forget it, don't go, let's talk about it after putting the snake repellent on it."

When Mu Xiaohua wanted to say something, Yu said first, "That's it."

"Okay!" Mu Xiaohua curled her lips, but if that's the case, what's the point of her coming this afternoon?She actually had a guess and was eager to prove it.

Cheng was about to spray the medicine, glanced at Yu who was still hugging Mu Xiaohua, and said, "How long are you going to hug?"

It was only then that Yu realized his posture with Mu Xiaohua, and hurriedly released her. He was just in a hurry and didn't pay attention that much. Now that Cheng Yi reminded him, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

Mu Xiaohua looked at Yu who was blushing so shyly, and rolled her eyes, isn't she very forceful when she hugs her?Are you shy now?I should be the one to be shy, right?

Yu felt his heart "pounding" so fast that he didn't dare to look at Mu Xiaohua, so he walked up to Cheng and said, "Hurry up and sprinkle the powder!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao gave Yu a pack of medicine powder while teasing: "Wow, can't it? Why is your face so red? You're shy after hugging Xiaohua for so long? Didn't you guys sleep together last night?"

That being said, the ambiguity is too great, right?Yu blushed even more, ignored Hui Cheng, quickly glanced at Mu Xiaohua, and went to sprinkle the powder.

Mu Xiaohua twitched her eyebrows, and said horizontally: "There's so much nonsense, why don't you hurry up and get to work?"

Cheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, work."

I sprinkled snake repellent powder today, and it stands to reason that there will never be any more snakes in the field tomorrow, but when everyone comes back to dig the next day...
