Chapter 318
With the siege of wolves, fortunately, Chitose Village built a protective wall early in the morning, and there was almost no loss.But it is not certain what other villages are like.

Considering that there are more and more beasts outside, it is rare for Zhu Xiaowu to feel worried.Whether he can travel is another matter, and what worries him even more is the twenty or thirty refugees in the town outside the village.

These people have worked in the village for so long, and they gradually become familiar with each other, and you can tell what kind of character these people have.These people in the town are pretty good, honest and willing to work, not greedy for cheap.Everyone is willing to associate with such people, and when there are many contacts, people will develop some feelings from somewhere.

Now they have found a place outside the village to raise houses and land, and continue to work in the village in their spare time, so it is reasonable for Zhu Xiaowu not to worry about it.But people's hearts are fleshy. Zhu Xiaowu has been the village head for decades, and his sense of responsibility is deeply rooted in his bones.Let him let these dozens of people outside, facing the threat of wild beasts at any time, he can't feel at ease.

After squatting at home and thinking for a long time, I finally called a few people in the village who could talk to me for a small meeting.

Aren't there several houses in the village that are completely empty?No one lives there, and the houses are dilapidated. No one in the village thinks highly of them, but they can still live in them after repairing them.

What Zhu Xiaowu meant was to vacate a house for these dozens of people to live in.They live at night, and they can go out to work in the fields during the day, and they are not considered villagers. They just provide a place to live, so at least they don’t have to worry about safety at night.

Anyway, you don't need to pay for the rice yourself, and you don't take advantage of the village, so everyone has no objections.

The opinions of several people were unified first, and then the whole village was called to a meeting to discuss this matter.Most people don't object, except for a few outsiders who think it can't be so cheap. Even if the house is dilapidated and unoccupied, it is still the property of the village, meaning rent is still charged.

Zhu Xiaowu can't see these people, but after thinking about it, he thinks that if there is no price at all, what if someone else comes to the door?In the end, a monthly rent of ten catties of rice was fixed.The received rice is handed over to the village and belongs to the common property of the village.

Settling down here, taking advantage of those people from the town entering the village to find trouble, Zhu Xiaowu went to find their leader.That man's surname is Mao, and those people call him Brother Mao.A man in his fifties, tall and tall, but thin.But at this time, there is no one who is not thin.It's just that he is tall, so he looks extraordinarily thin.Clothes are worn empty on the body, just like clothes hanging on bamboo poles.

He used to work in Wangshui Village, and he wasn't the first group of people to come to Chitose Village.But after hearing about the Chitose Village, he immediately led the second batch of people to Chitose Village.

Later, under his organization, the first group and the second group gradually coalesced into a group.And he took the lead as a matter of course.

Brother Mao is very good at life.

Zhu Xiaowu found him and told him about it, and he immediately expressed his gratitude.They are also worried about this.Living in the cave dwelling every night, listening to the howling of all kinds of wild animals on the mountain, how could they sleep?He can't sleep well at night and has no energy during the day. This person is about to be tortured and sick.

They have always envied the villagers of Chitose Village. The whole village is surrounded by a bamboo wall. Now a city wall has been built at the entrance of the village, which makes them feel safe.

When the wolves besieged Qiantui Village last night, they heard wolves howling and gunshots, but they could only huddle in the cave, staring at the doors and windows with their eyes open, not daring to blink for fear that the wolves would burst through the door and rush in. .

Even if Zhu Xiaowu didn't talk to him about it today, he still planned to have the cheek to talk to him, and then begged him to let them move into the village.

Just point to a piece of land and let them build a shack by themselves.

Now they can not only live in the village, but also provide housing, can they not be happy?Although this house has to pay ten catties of grain every month for rent, they are willing.Compared with twenty or thirty lives, this ten catties of grain is really nothing.

Although the land where they live now has not confiscated their food, they work in the village on weekdays and eat very economically, so it is no problem to pay the rent for a few months.In another month or so, the grain in the field will be harvested, and then they will be able to live a more relaxed life.

The house given to them was an empty house in the north of the village. The old man passed away a few years ago and had no descendants, so the house has been empty here.After all, there are [-] or [-] people, and this house is the largest, so it is no problem to squeeze in.

It's going to be hot, and I don't think it's too hot to be crowded, so I can sleep outside without fear of freezing.When the weather gets cold in the future, we will huddle together to keep warm.

The affairs here are properly arranged, and Wu Qingfeng is also going to go to the town alone to inquire about the news.Before leaving, give Lian Yao a task.

Seeing that the water level of Qingshui Creek has been dropping, Wu Qingfeng asked Lianyao to condense more ice in the water cellar he built before for fear that there would be insufficient water for storage.

In Wu Qingfeng's memory, high temperature and drought are the main theme of this year.Wu Qingfeng had already stored some ice last year, but he didn't think it was too much.Before the weather is so dry, it is always good to reserve more.

They only know one ice freezing technique now, anyway, ice melts into water, and storing ice is the same as storing water.And when the weather is hot, you can take out ice to cool down.

Knowing the follow-up situation, Lian Yao attaches great importance to the matter of storing ice.Except for practicing alchemy every day, he almost hides in the water cellar for the rest of the day, constantly performing ice condensation.

Fortunately, she was originally a Mizuki spirit root, so she could cast water spells quickly and effortlessly.It's just that the spiritual power is limited, and it can only condense one-twentieth of the ice cubes of the cellar's area every day.

Lian Yao is not discouraged, as long as she works hard, the water cellar will be full by herself soon.

In addition, she found something for herself.Every day after everyone fell asleep, she ran to the field to perform the Spring Wind Transforming Rain Technique.Because there will be a severe drought soon, Lianyao doesn't want to see the tragic scene where everyone in the village has no crops like last year.

The spring wind and rain technique can help the grain in the farmland to grow rapidly. Although the effect is not so obvious, it can somewhat make the grain in Chitose Village mature and enter the harvesting period earlier.

However, her spiritual power is limited, and the first thing she guarantees must be the land in her own home and the fat aunt's home.For the rest of the land, she waters one piece every night, and in about three to four nights, the entire village can be watered.

The grain in the compound is the first to mature.It was planted early, but now the temperature is just right and the water can be guaranteed. Coupled with Lianyao's spring wind and rain every night, the second half of the time can be said to grow upwards, and the tassels are getting fuller and fuller. , and soon bent over, heralding the beginning of maturity.

Zhu Guozhong was also puzzled.According to his experience, it takes about ten days before it enters the mature stage. How come it grows so fast these days?

Seeing that other people's fields are still half green and half yellow, while his own field is already golden, Zhu Guozhong walks around the fields every day, twirling the tassels and soil, but he can't find the reason.In the end, it can only be attributed to the problem of seeds.Maybe the rice seeds that Wu Qingfeng bought were different in the first place.

Zhu Guozhong also said the same thing when he met those who were envious and asked.The seeds are good, there is no way.As a result, many people found him and wanted his family's seeds.

Everyone in the village is like this, whoever's seeds are good, most of them will go to his house to exchange.Generally, as long as there is enough at home, everyone will not be stingy if there are more, and they will be willing to exchange with others.

Zhu Guozhong didn't refuse either, and only said to wait for the millet to be harvested.
