Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The four children worked hard for two days, and finally divided the remaining wasteland into several blocks according to the plan to take care of Jing Yun, with a firebreak of about three meters between each block.

Li Baolu felt that the weeds were dense and long, and this small firebreak might not be able to prevent them.

Gu Jingyun also said, This firebreak can't prevent the fire, it can only slow it down, so we have to choose a good time to start the fire.

What's a good time?

When the wind is low and the dew is heavy. So Gu Jingyun set the time at Yinshi the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei's eyes were full of confusion, How do you know that the wind will be small in Yinshi the day after tomorrow?

As for the dew, isn't it dewy in the early morning?

Gu Jingyun raised his chin proudly and said, My uncle said it.

The two children asked persistently, How did your uncle know?

Of course it is calculated. Gu Jingyun said proudly: I am still young, and I am not yet proficient in arithmetic and metaphysics, otherwise I could have calculated it.

Both Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei looked admiring. After getting along with each other for the past few days, the two of them had already been subdued by Gu Jingyun's intelligence.

There is no way, if a person is only a little stronger than you, you can still be jealous, but if he is so strong that you can only see a small black dot when you look up, then you can only surrender.

Although Gu Jingyun's character is still very annoying, it does not prevent Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei from admiring him.

Even Li Baolu was full of admiration.

Last night, Gu Jingyun went to Qin Xinfang and asked when the wind and dew would be heavy. Qin Xinfang did not give the answer directly, but took the two children to the roof to watch the stars, and then taught them how to recognize the stars, how to feel the wind, and then calculate the next three days. climate of the day.

There is no precise tool to test the wind force, and there is no modern arithmetic. Qin Xinfang just found a ribbon and held it in his hand to feel the wind force. Gu Jingyun was able to calculate the minimum wind force at three o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow according to Qin Xinfang's guidance.

And Li Baolu listened to astrology all night, her mind was muddled, and she could only understand two or three points.

Sure enough, even with the memories of her previous life, she still can't become a genius, especially in front of Gu Jingyun.

Li Baolu didn't realize that she never suspected Gu Jingyun's miscalculation, which made Gu Jingyun look at her more tenderly.

If it is not certain that the two are still children, it is impossible to be emotional, and Qin Xinfang will feel that she is a galaxy between the two.

But the facts proved that Gu Jingyun was right.

Before Yin arrived, Gu Jingyun got up and shook Li Baolu awake, and the two villains went out holding hands after getting dressed.

The seaside is always windy, but now it is calm and calm. Fortunately, it is early in the morning and it is cool, so it doesn't feel stuffy.

Gu Jingyun picked up the lantern at the door with a stick and held it in his hand, holding Li Baolu firmly with the other hand, Let's go.

Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei were leaning against the door of their house and yawning. When they saw them coming over, they whispered worriedly: Is it really okay to only have the four of us? What if the fire spreads...

Who said there were only four of us? Gu Jingyun said indifferently: You don't need to worry about such things, you just need to listen to my orders.

Li Baolu turned her head to look at the way she came, and there was a looming light following her in the distance. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Although Uncle Qin opposed their use of fire to open up wasteland, he never stopped them from doing research in this area, so naturally Will escort behind.

Gu Jingyun obviously expected this, so he set the fire with confidence.

Many days of hard work are finally bearing fruit. No matter how steady Gu Jingyun is, he can't help being excited at this moment. Standing in front of the first piece of wasteland, he scratches the flint and strikes grass...

The four little heads gathered together and stared at the flames with piercing eyes.

The flame touched the grass and shook twice, then went out!

...The four children looked at each other wordlessly, and it was Zhang Ermei who raised her small hand and whispered: The grass is still green, and the dew is still heavy. I'm afraid it won't ignite.

You need to find a handful of hay as a guide, Li Baolu suggested.

Zhang Liulang volunteered and said, I'll go find it!

Gu Jingyun stared blankly at the flint and steel in his hand, his full confidence was shaken for the first time, Can it be lit?

If not, all their tossing and tossing these days will be in vain.

Li Baolu thought of the forest fire in her previous life, when the trees were alive, didn't they also ignite?

So he nodded firmly and said, Sure.

Only then did Gu Jingyun feel more at ease.

Zhang Liulang quickly collected a lot of hay. This time, Zhang Ermei, the most skilled fire starter, started the fire. The flint ignited the hay and pressed the hay under the wild grass. The vigorous flame weakened by three points, but slowly, the fire began to spread upwards. The wild grass, the fire is getting bigger...

Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, put the lantern aside, and took the branches prepared in advance to guard the side. Once the fire spread beyond his limited range or the fire was a little bigger, they would use the branches to extinguish it.

Fortunately, there was no wind at this time, and the dew was heavy. Although the fire was getting bigger, it was still under control. The four children beat there with branches, knocked here, and walked leisurely along with the fire.

When the fire burnt out a piece of wasteland, Gu Jingyun used hay to lead the fire to the next piece of wasteland when he saw that the flame was about to go out.

Qin Xinfang, who was standing on the hill watching from a distance, nodded secretly, feeling that although her nephew was stubborn and conceited, he was prudent and prudent when it came to acting. Just because of this, he didn't have to worry about his future.

Seeing his satisfied face, Zhang Dachui couldn't help curling his lips. Everyone in the Qin family has an annoying temperament. Isn't it just setting fire? What's there to be proud of?

The other villagers who were invited to help could not help but look happy when they saw that the fire was under control, and a wasteland that had been overgrown with weeds was gradually burned to the ground, exposing the original soil.

The imperial court supports wasteland reclamation, and the wasteland opened by good people does not have to pay taxes for the first three years. As long as you have the ability, as long as you don't occupy the mountains and forests, you can open up as much wasteland as you want.

They are criminals, and the conditions are harsher. All reclaimed wasteland has to be taxed, but the extra wasteland can be exempted from 50% of land tax for the first three years.

Qiongzhou prefecture has a lot of mountains and little flat land, and the per capita arable area is inherently small, so wherever there is wasteland, everyone rushes to reclaim it.

The sin village is the same, but there are only 19 households in one village, and it is separated from other sin villages by several hills, so the area is still relatively large, and there is still a lot of uncultivated wasteland.

But everyone's pace of land reclamation is very slow. The reason is that the labor required for land reclamation is too large, and the effort is greater than the benefit.

They don't have cattle, and they don't even have larger farm tools. They can only use sickles and hoes to open up wasteland. They usually have to take care of the fields that have been opened up, and they have to go fishing. They are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground. Time to open up wasteland?

It's not that they never thought about using fire to open up wasteland, but because the fire was uncontrollable, they didn't have the courage to do it after all.

In this era, setting fire to a mountain can be punished by beheading, even if they are unintentional, it is useless, not to mention that they are criminals themselves, and the more serious they are, the more they will die.

But now that Gu Jingyun has found a way for them to guarantee the use of fire to open up wasteland, no wonder everyone is not excited.

Gu Jingyun, who had no idea that he had contributed a lot to the development of Sin Village, wiped the sweat from his forehead in relief, and ordered his three followers: Walk around the periphery of the wasteland and knock out all the unextinguished sparks. Push away the weeds that are piled together and have not burned out, let them burn out and extinguish them.

The three attendants responded in unison and dragged the branches to complete the task.

Gu Jingyun pinched a branch to write and draw on the sidelines. He felt that he could re-plan the distribution of small wastelands so that the fire could be burnt out more quickly while ensuring safety.

When Li Baolu came happily dragging the branch to report, Gu Jingyun had already calculated the result, recorded the calculation process and the result in his mind, wiped it with the branch, and when he looked up, he met Li Baolu's cat-like face.

He couldn't help but let out a puchi laugh, reached out to wipe the black charcoal on her face, and said, Look at how dirty you are...

Gu Jingyun's voice stopped abruptly, he widened his eyes to look at her face, and then lowered his head to look at his hands.

Li Baolu followed his gaze and looked at his dark hands. If there was anything she didn't understand, she pouted, and couldn't help wiping her face with her hand, and muttered, Your hands are all dirty...

Looking at Li Baolu's completely dark face, Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, pointed to her hand and said with a smile: Then look at your hand!

Li Baolu raised her little hand and looked at it, her eyes widened immediately.

The chubby hands that were originally white and tender turned into fat hooves like black charcoal.

Hahahaha... Gu Jingyun pointed at her face and couldn't help laughing.

Li Baolu jumped up and grabbed his cheeks with two small hands and rubbed them vigorously, then jumped away alertly, saw the two small black paw prints on Gu Jingyun's face, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at Li Baolu who proudly raised his head at him, Gu Jingyun was not angry at all, he checked the wasteland to make sure there were no sparks, and then stepped forward and pulled Li Baolu home.

Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei hurriedly jumped up to keep up, and kept peeking at Gu Jingyun, whose face was covered in black charcoal.

Zhang Liulang couldn't help itching his hands, and asked his sister in a low voice, Do you think he will be angry if I also go up and slap him in the face?

Zhang Ermei looked at Sixth Brother sympathetically and said, If you have the guts, go and try.

Zhang Liulang thought for a while, but he didn't have the courage to take that step. He drooped his head and said, Forget it, he's already so dark, I'd better stop irritating him.

Zhang Ermei curled her lips in disappointment.

Go back, you don't have to go to class today, Gu Jingyun stopped at the fork, and told Zhang Liulang and his sister: We don't have time to go out in the afternoon, if you want to read, come to my house.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Gu Jingyun was able to accept them coming in and out of his home.

Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei cheered up, patted their chests and said, Then we will go to your house to play with you in the afternoon.

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, pulled Li Baolu and went home.

On the other side, Qin Xinfang brought people down to see their achievements after the four children had left.
