The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 90 Giant Island

There are more than 120 giants on the Giant Island. The tribe leader Gao Qiu warmly entertained them. Through chatting, they learned that no outsiders had ever come to the Giant Island. They were all afraid and no one dared to come to the island.

They would pick the shortest person on the Giant Island and go to the nearby town to exchange for some things.

But the shortest one was only two meters tall, which was not too outstanding. So the people in the nearby town did not reject them.

They eat so much that it takes more than ten pots to cook a meal of rice.

But the rice they eat is not available in the nearby town, and the nearby town does not speak their language. They have to go to a town that speaks their language, which is far away from here, and it is very difficult to transport the food.

They didn't have a big ship, only a small one, and they were very envious of Wang Jingru and her friends' big ship.

But their small boats are not small and can carry thousands of kilograms of rice each time.

In fact, they also grow crops, but they don’t have that much land. The island is full of trees, and the trees are tall, but there are not many species of animals.

The most common animal they eat on this island is the lizards on the island, followed by rabbits and wild boars.

Of course, the animals they raise themselves are very large. The large pigs they raise can be twice as big as wild boars, but they also take a longer time to grow.

The vegetables they grow are very large. They are pumpkins, and each pumpkin here weighs dozens of kilograms.

Wang Jingru was very happy to see that the pumpkins here were so big, because there were no pumpkins in their country, so she had to bring back some seeds.

What they disliked most was lizard meat. Although a large lizard weighed several hundred kilograms, the meat was very unpalatable. In order not to starve, they could only eat these things.

They would exchange rabbits and rabbit skins, wild boar meat, and pumpkins for food.

The giants also have a unique handicraft skill to make huge handicrafts, huge wood carvings, stone carvings and fabrics. They will take the handicrafts they make and exchange them for various items they need.

In fact, there is coal on the island, which they usually use to make fire and cook. It burns longer than wood, but people outside do not need it because they have plenty of wood.

Moreover, when coal burns, the temperature is very high. They are in the tropics, so they don't need this kind of thing to keep warm. They are not cold, but very hot.

Wang Jingru and her friends and the giant came to where they lived. Wang Jingru was stunned. The houses were really tall, each about four meters high. The houses were all built with wood, with rows of wooden houses, very neatly arranged.

There is a tall shed outside the house, which is used for making fire and cooking. The shed is very large, with more than ten large pots in a row.

This pot is very big. With normal people’s appetite, this pot of rice can feed 30 to 40 people, but for giants, this pot of rice is only enough for more than 10 people. You can imagine how big the appetite of giants is.

Wang Jingru and the other three were invited by the giant's chief to have dinner, while the rest stayed on the boat. They did not leave the ship. Some of them were active along the coast, ready to get on board at any time if they encountered danger.

Although the chief wanted to treat the four of them to a meal, they didn't have much food left, so they could only use a big pot to cook some pumpkins, some large lizard meat, and they also caught a dozen rabbits. These rabbits were very big, as big as the ones Wang Jingru caught on the Dwarf Island.

Wang Jingru looked at more than ten large pots, all of which were filled with meat and pumpkin. Wang Jingru asked the clan leader, "Why did the old man cook so much? Is it edible? No, it will go bad if left alone."

The patriarch said, it’s not much at all, it would be good if they could eat it.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that we are tall and eat a lot. An adult giant can finish a whole bowl of rice in one meal.

That pot can only hold 11 or 12 pots of rice, or 11 or 12 people. If there are children here, one pot of rice is enough for 15 or 16 people. If all the adults eat this pot of rice, it is enough for 11 or 12 people.

To be honest, I wanted to treat you to some rice, but the rice in our tribe has already been eaten up. I wanted to offer you some good food, but I don't have any.

Everyone in our tribe eats the meat of this kind of lizard. One lizard weighs over a hundred kilograms, and there are a lot of them on Rabbit Island.

Wang Jingru looked at a woman holding a baby who was less than one year old. The baby was more than 1 meter tall. This made Wang Jingru envious, as she was only 1 meters tall after growing for so many years.

Look at other people's babies who are less than one year old but are already over one meter tall, and the child walks very steadily. I heard from the tribe leader that their children can walk when they are six months old. They are born with supernatural powers and have tremendous strength. A six-month-old baby who can walk is stronger than a normal three or four-year-old child.

This made Wang Jingru very envious. Wang Jingru chatted with the tribe leader for a while and learned about the general situation on the island.

Their giant tribe also farms. They don't have much land, but their people are very good at eating. Fortunately, they are all very hardworking. They take their wood carvings, stone carvings, and textiles to the town in exchange for food and daily necessities.

The clothes they wore were all made of cloth woven by themselves. As for clothes, the thing that bothered them the most was food. There was a kind of black stone-like substance on the island that could be ignited and burned. It was forbidden to burn it. If you added a few pieces of it, it would burn for a long time.

After hearing the tribe leader's introduction, Wang Jingru knew that this thing was coal. Wang Jingru was very excited. They had to burn a lot of charcoal in winter, and it would be more convenient to keep warm with coal.

Wang Jingru said, "Uncle Chief, how much can you mine? How much have you mined? You can exchange some food with me.

After hearing this, the patriarch stood up, excitedly held Wang Jingru's hand and said, "Girl, are you really willing to exchange that black stone for food with us?"

The patriarch's voice trembled when he spoke, because he didn't believe it. There were a lot of this kind of things on their island. The deeper they mined underground, the more they would find. It was endless and could never be fully mined.

Wang Jingru nodded and said, Uncle Chief, you don’t have to be so excited. We have plenty of food and you can also exchange it with us for other things.

It's not easy for us to go out to sea, so we try to exchange as much as we can. I just wonder if you, the chief, can exchange some of your pumpkin for us.

The patriarch nodded quickly and said, "Yes, as long as it can be exchanged for food, I will exchange it with you no matter how much you offer."

Although the pumpkin is big and can satisfy your hunger, if you eat it all the time, you will have had enough. If you don’t eat it, you will still be hungry. If you eat it, you will have had enough.

Wang Jingru wanted to exchange some pumpkins for the pumpkin seeds. After returning, she wanted to use them to protect the people of the Dayu Dynasty from starvation during famine years. With pumpkins to eat, no one would starve to death.

Wang Jingru had a meal with the giants. The pumpkin was delicious, sweet and soft, but they could only slurp the rabbit meat, which was not tasty at all.

Wang Jingru took only one bite of the lizard meat and couldn't swallow it anymore. It was too unpalatable and had a strange taste. Wang Jingru only ate some pumpkin and went to the boat after finishing her meal.

Wang Jingru returned to the ship and entered the space. He had to find an open space on the island to exchange things with the tribe leader. 1 kilograms of rice could be exchanged for a lot of things.

He thought that he would go around the island tomorrow to see if there was anything else he could exchange, and he would try to exchange as much as possible. So when they rested at night, they rowed the boat out to the sea.

It is impossible not to slide onto the sea surface. I heard from the tribe leader that the giant lizard on the island weighs more than 100 kilograms.

They cannot cause any harm to the giants, but they are quite dangerous to ordinary people like them.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Wang Jingru and her friends got up before dawn to catch more seafood.

Not only did these people get up early, but everyone on the boat, each carrying a bucket, started looking for seafood on the beach.

Everyone was very excited. Their favorite thing to do was to pick up seafood on the sea, including shells, prawns and crabs.

Everyone was very excited and picked up a full bucket. There were so many seafood on the beach, and the giants picked up even more food. They would pick up some seafood on the beach every day and bring it back. They were already very skilled.

The giants were very strong. The buckets they carried were three or four times as big as Wang Jingru's and her friends' buckets. They were round and big, just like the small water tanks.

But the giants carried buckets as big as water tanks and put them in as if they were playing, stirring them back and forth.

Soon the fragrance spread all over the island, making the giants drool. They kept swallowing their saliva, and everyone said that it smelled so good and must be delicious.

The children couldn't wait until the food was cooked, and they pulled their parents to eat it. Wang Jingru said that the food was not cooked yet, and she would share it with them when it was cooked.

The children of Giant Island cheered and jumped for joy. They had never tasted or smelled such delicious seafood before. They were all waiting impatiently.

As soon as the food started to boil, many giant children came and lined up to get their meals.

Each child had one portion, and the basins they used were smaller than the basins we usually use.

The children got the seafood they had been longing for, and when they actually put the seafood in their mouths, they realized how delicious this seafood was.

Regardless of the fact that the food was hot, they blew on it a few times and stuffed it into their mouths, fearing that others would snatch it away from them. The whole meal was finished in the blink of an eye.

After Wang Jingru had breakfast, he started to walk around the island. He wanted to get familiar with the island as soon as possible. If he found something good, he would mark it down and tell the tribe leader.

Wang Jingru started to walk around the island. At first, the clan leader followed him. After the clan leader introduced all the things that could be exchanged on the island to Wang Jingru, Wang Jingru nodded in agreement. Only then did the clan leader go back satisfied.

Wang Jingru started walking around by herself, observing the plants on the island to see if there was anything she needed.

Wang Jingru looked around and found that the things that could be exchanged were coal, pumpkin, and rabbit skin. There was nothing more to be had!

The things carved by the giant are not rare, but the things woven by the giant are very exquisite. I will exchange some of them for it.

He had thought about what he wanted to exchange, and this time he planned to exchange the coal quietly and put it in the space. Otherwise, these three ships would not be able to hold much, and it would be very dangerous to load such heavy things on the sea.

So rice cannot be taken down from the boat. Even a fool can tell from the boat. How much food do they have on board? They always take food down to exchange for other things.

The slightest bit of it would arouse suspicion, and he didn't want to expose his identity. Having made up their minds, Wang Jingru and Wu Tianyang started to walk around the island.

The chief said that the forest is very dangerous and all the animals on the island are very big, so try not to go deep into the forest.

Wang Jingru nodded to indicate that she understood and would not go deep into the forest, but would just walk around the periphery.

Having said that, after entering the forest, the two walked deeper into it. If they encountered danger, they would quickly enter the space.

The two people walked hand in hand into the forest. There were paths inside. It seemed that giants often moved around in the forest.

The two of them walked along the path inside, and surprisingly, not too far inside, they saw rabbits as big as goats.

Wu Tianyang acted quickly and started racing with the rabbit. The little rabbit ran fast, but the big rabbit was not slow either. It took Wu Tianyang a lot of effort to finally catch the big rabbit.

Wu Tianyang used Qinggong to catch this big rabbit. The rabbit was big and not very agile when running. After all, this was a forest with many trees.

He failed to dodge and crashed into a tree, where he was caught by Wu Tianyang.

Wu Tianyang handed the big rabbit to Wang Jingru, who took the rabbit and put it into the space.

The two continued walking forward. As they walked, Wang Jingru grabbed Wu Tianyang, hid behind a tree, and whispered that there seemed to be a big horse in front.

In fact, it was not a horse, but a sika deer. How could there be a sika deer on this island? It was really strange. If it weren't for the plum blossoms on its body, I would have thought it was a horse.

Wang Jingru planned to capture the sika deer alive and keep it in the space. It would be great if she could catch a male and a female! Who would have thought that there were sika deer here?

Wang Jingru and Wu Tianyang, each holding a rope with a noose tied to it, planned to put it around the deer's neck. Once it was put on, they could put it into the space.

As the two were walking forward quietly, they discovered that the sika deer were a group, not just one, if they were not on this island, not on the Giant Island.

Wang Jingru really wanted to put all the sika deer into the space without caring about anything. The giants were big eaters, and it was a bit immoral for him to put all the giants' rations into the space.

Then let's get one male and one female! Wang Jingru and Wu Tianyang discussed, husband, did you see the one in front of you? That one is a female, you should find a way to catch it.

I'll put the male deer here into the space for him. As long as I can find it, I can put it into the space. But don't alarm the herd of deer, otherwise if it runs away, we won't be able to catch it!

The two men approached quietly at the same time, their target locked, and they used hand gestures to move together. Only by working together could they catch both.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, each of them went to their own target, and used their fingers to indicate three, two, one, and they threw the rope out at the same time. There was a noose in front of the rope, and the two of them were very skilled. The noose tied in front of the rope was immediately put on the deer's neck.
