Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Chapter 311 The first step in building a home

Mo Beihan remembered that the girl had confessed that he needed a hundred fire ants for medicine. To be on the safe side, he asked Mu Er Mu San to catch a full two hundred fire ants.

Then he corked the bottle tightly, carefully put the bottle into a special cloth bag, and held it firmly in his hand.

Blinka, who was waiting anxiously on the side, gritted her teeth and wanted to shake the bell on her body, but she was worried about the people around her and did not dare to be willful.

Mu Yi and a group of guards put their hands on the hilts of their swords and stared at the group of people on the opposite side in a prepared manner.

After collecting the fire ants, Mo Beihan didn't want to have anything to do with this group of people who broke their promises. He just nodded slightly to the chief and turned around with the people.

The chief looked at the back of the young man, feeling guilty and uneasy. He vaguely felt that something was getting farther and farther away from him.

When Blinka saw that the annoying guys were finally gone, she angrily ordered the men she brought to catch the red fire ants.

When Mo Gongzi and his party were sailing on the vast sea, returning towards the country of Dai Viet.

In Devil's Valley, Qiao Ran has led the villagers to dig out a spectacular wildfire isolation zone, surrounding the miasmatic woods she plans to burn.

The last time Qiao Ran went to the city, she took out two electric saws and two hand saws from her room when she came back. She said that she bought them in the city and there happened to be a foreign businessman selling these things on the street. .

She saw the merchant's demonstration and felt that it was very labor-saving. It was just what their village needed to cut down trees, so she spent fifty taels to buy it.

Although Mrs. Qiao was worried about money, she thought that it was so hard to cut down trees, and with the help of these labor-saving guys, she could finish the work earlier, so she didn't say anything.

The old village chief was very moved when he learned that Ran Yatou actually spent fifty taels of silver to buy these labor-saving tools for the village. He was stunned and said that Qiao Ran shouldn't come up with the money, and asked Qiao Ran to use the village's savings. Break out.

And when the villagers used these tools, they were all excited to see how much faster they were than using axes and machetes.

"Ran Ran, I used to see this hand saw in carpenters' shops in the city, but it was much smaller than this one, not so good-looking, and not so easy to use. This electric saw is really a rare thing, how can it cut down trees? So soon?"

Li Daqiang held a chainsaw in his hand and was as excited as if he had some treasure.

Qiao Erhe also held a chainsaw in his hand. He was as excited as a child when he saw a large area of ​​trees falling down behind him.

"Ran Ran, this electric saw is so easy to use, isn't it? A tree as thick as a thigh can be sawed down in just a few breaths. A big tree that requires more than half an hour to be hugged by several people with an ax can only be cut down with a electric saw. It takes less than a quarter of an hour, it’s so easy! This foreign gadget is so easy to use!”

Qiao Ran smiled and said nothing. If she had known that so many trees would be cut down, she would have kept more chainsaws at home.

These two chainsaws have become rare treasures for the men and young people in the village. Everyone took turns using them and experienced the refreshing feeling of "being helped by a god".

The number of large and small trees in the isolation zone is decreasing at a rapid rate.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the falling snowflakes have not been able to cool down everyone’s enthusiasm for building their homes.

They even took off their animal skin jackets and wore thin, coarse cotton-padded clothes. They rolled up their sleeves and worked passionately.

The flying snowflakes fell on people and were quickly evaporated into water vapor by the heat on their bodies.

Thinking that after the new year and spring, they would have land to farm, build a house and furnish furniture, and settle down in their new home safely, the whole village was very enthusiastic.

In the camp, only the old man was left in the tent doing needlework while watching the young children.

Men and young men were in Devil's Valley cutting down and processing trees.

The women and teenage girls were responsible for weeding, clearing branches, etc., and returned to the camp shortly before noon to prepare lunch and bring it to them. After everyone ate, they took a short rest before continuing to work hard.

Everyone worked together to enter the valley at dawn every day, and then went back with torches when it was almost dark. No one complained or stayed away.

It was originally expected that it would take at least half a month to complete the isolation belt, but it was actually completed in less than ten days.

On this day, when the last short distance of a large circle of isolation belt was also cleared, deafening cheers rang out in Devil's Valley.

The sound was so loud that it woke up the animals and birds that were hibernating in caves and nests. The birds were flying around in all directions, and the animals were running around in terror.

"Girl Ran, the isolation belt has been dug, can we burn the forest?"

The old village chief had long known that the last section of the isolation zone would be dug today, so he had followed him to guard it early in the morning. Seeing that the guys had dug all the isolation zones so quickly, he couldn't help but ask with a slightly raised beard. Qiao Ran.

Everyone looked at Qiao Ran eagerly, wondering what to do next. They all listened to Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran nodded as expected: "Yes, but it's too late today, and everyone has been tired for several days. Let's go back and have a good night's rest, and then come back to light the fire tomorrow. Everyone will bring the tools after breakfast tomorrow, as I said , stand alone a few feet away to prevent the wildfire from spreading outside the isolation zone. This wildfire may burn for two or three days, and everyone cannot relax their vigilance. They must always stay on the isolation zone and cannot put other people in the isolation zone. The mountains and forests have been burned down. After working hard these days, everyone can take a good rest for a few days and prepare to catch some prey for the New Year."

"Okay! Okay! What's two or three days? I've been here for so many days, and I don't care about these two days anymore. We'll just stay in the valley these days and wait until the mountain fire is completely extinguished before we go back."

"Yes! Everyone, bring two extra warm leather jackets and sleep on the isolation belt at night. Take turns sleeping. We will definitely not let the wildfire burn down every plant and tree in other places!"

Everyone expressed their stance excitedly. It has only been like this for two or three days, and they must stick to it no matter what.

The old village chief waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, listen to Ran Yatou's arrangement. You can finish work early today and go back. Ask your family to cook something delicious and eat full. Go to bed early at night and have enough sleep to be energetic tomorrow. A new round of hard battle is about to begin. As long as we survive these two or three days, we can burn the miasma forest and have fields to grow food next year!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and walked back happily carrying axes, machetes, hoes and so on. Their excitement could not calm down.

Seeing animals such as pheasants and pheasants that had been awakened by them and ran out on the roadside, everyone rushed up and used hoes and machetes to kill a few prey and take them back for dinner.

Digging the isolation belt was only the first step in building a home. Qiao Ran was not too excited.

In the afternoon, she took an excuse to go out and see if she could pack some wild animals to feed her family. She declined Qiao Dong's company and quietly returned to Devil's Valley.
