Crossing the Sixers

Chapter 70 070 Another Year of Spring Comes

No matter which tribe you are in, there are orphans who have lost their parents. This proportion is obviously higher than that on earth.These tribes used to rely on the forest for food, and the danger of the forest is self-evident.What's more, the hygienic environment and backward medical technology have left many patients and injuries hopeless, and their children inevitably have to live alone.

Just like An Lie was able to grow up relying on the help of his neighbors, it is also fortunate that he was born miraculously able to transform into a unicorn, which is extremely powerful.Other orphans were not so lucky.As far as Xu Jian and Wu Yannan know, there are dozens of children in the Yihe Tribe and the Dosen Tribe who live alone and eat hundreds of meals.

But it's a big deal, and they don't want to break the rules of the tribe because of it.

What's more, there are urgent matters right now.

The snow season is gradually passing, and the snow melts. It would be good to wait for the wind season to come, but the water did not expect that the melted snow caused the level of the Yi River to rise, and it poured into the small forest to the south of the Yi River tribe, causing the beasts that bred there to grow up. The animals were flooded, the cubs died, and the adult animals ran away, and the food source of the Yihe River was suddenly cut off.

The Dosen tribe is okay, because the homestead is built high, and there is no damage to the house. However, the rice fields, jute fields, and vegetable fields that Wu Yannan and the others planned before are all soaked in water. The land can no longer be cultivated.

Part of the hill tribe's house by the lake was also flooded, but fortunately they were able to move back to their cave.However, they were used to eating fish and shrimp, and it was much more difficult for them to catch food from the water. This made their leader Luo Ying very annoyed, and went back and forth to the Yihe tribe several times to discuss how to deal with the flood.

Everyone expected that the river would recede when the windy season came. However, when the wind really blew, they realized that the warmer weather would increase the water volume of rivers and lakes. The greater harm is that mosquitoes are rampant.

Wu Yannan took the lead in making mosquito nets and vigorously promoted them in the Dothan Tribe. Not long after, every household in the Yihe Tribe also made mosquito nets. They barely felt better at night, but they still suffered during the day.

Wu Yannan took advantage of Yunzai to take people to the Yi River to investigate the possibility of digging canals to divert the river, wrapped himself in cotton cloth into a mummy, and went to visit Grandpa Mucha's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mucha and a few old friends standing in the yard, the mahjong table was left alone, and everyone scratched their arms and legs, feeling extremely distressed.

"Grandpa Mucha, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Yannan looked at the big red envelopes on Mucha's face in surprise, and some pimples even broke the skin and bleed.

Mucha didn't care whether his posture was elegant or not, he stretched his backhand behind and scratched vigorously: "We sat in the yard for a while, and a group of mosquitoes flew over. We didn't have time to hide, so we were bitten like this!"

Mosquitoes here are different from those on Earth.The most common mosquito on the earth is only the size of a bean. The body of the mosquito here is similar to that of a bee, and it does not suck blood, but simply stings people.

"Don't scratch it. If you scratch it, the wound will become inflamed, and it will be serious!"

"Oh, it's very itchy! Xiao Wu, don't you know herbs? Tell us which herbs can relieve itching?"

"...the batch of herbs planted before was drowned..."

"Oh! How strange!"

Wu Yannan was also very helpless, and in the end had no choice but to simply disinfect them with brewed alcohol, and asked them not to go out as much as possible recently.It was hot and the meat was not easy to store, so Wu Yannan had to butcher two chicken stews and save his portion for Mucha. After eating two bites himself, he put the rest into a wooden barrel and carried him to the Yihe River.

Once out of the tribe, it is the surface of the ocean.If he hadn't remembered that there were still a few miles to the Yihe River, Wu Yannan would have regarded this place as a place to be built near the river.Since the wooden boat was invented, it has played its greatest role in the past few days.The Dothan tribe traveled by boat to hunt across the river, or to fish from the river.

Xiaowen is pregnant and likes to eat fish. Anan goes boating to the Yi River every day to catch some fresh fish for her.At this moment, Anan was about to set off, saw Wu Yannan walking with a wooden barrel in his arms, and knew that he was going to find Yunzai, so he waved him to board the boat.

Anan's punting skills are good, and she is steady, and Wu Yannan is not afraid without a life jacket.

Yunzai and several elders were on a big boat, which stopped at the confluence of the shallows and the Yi River.The diversion of the river is a major project, and according to the current water situation of the Yi River, it is estimated that it will not be possible.They had to negotiate another place to grow various crops.

Anan sent Wu Yannan to the big boat and went fishing.There are many young males and even females fishing on the I River.Recently, the prey in the forest has migrated to the depths, and it is more difficult to hunt, so they have to eat fish and shrimp temporarily.

The elders were greedy for the delicious chicken soup and chicken, but there was a shortage of food at the moment, and no one was ashamed to compete with a young male who had a big appetite, so he had to endure it for the time being and stare eagerly.

Wu Yannan couldn't take it anymore, so he contributed the small noodle cakes that were intended to be a snack for Yunzai, and shared a piece among the elders.

"Delicious!" Elder Duo Lun took small bites, fearing that it would be gone after eating. "When will our tribe plant wheat in large areas? I think flour is better than rice!"

"We don't have much grain." Elder Ailon sighed, "Now the best land is submerged under water!"

Wu Yannan was fed a piece of chicken by Yunzai, chewed it and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "Wheat can be heavy on dry land. I think it's warm enough these days, why don't I plant the wheat in the afternoon? Vegetables must also be planted quickly, lest the water will continue to recede, and there will not be enough food by then."

Several elders agreed.

Fortunately, the cotton and fruit trees are still strong, and although the roots are soaked in water, the flowers that should bloom still bloom.

Wu Yannan has always regarded the wind season as spring.In fact, the wind season in this world is like the short spring after the earth's global warming.But this spring seems to be exceptionally warm, even hot.

Within a few days after he sowed the wheat, the wheat seedlings grew, and the vegetables also sprouted one after another.But it seems that overnight, the vegetables have turned into a large green patch.The leeks are long and strong, the spinach is endless, the eggplants are bearing fruit, the cucumber seedlings are covered with bamboo trellises, and the exposed leaves of carrots and white radishes are already big and big.The most exaggerated is the watermelon, as if by magic, it changed from a foot to a foot overnight, and the melon eggs are the size of a fist.The onions are growing well, and the peppers are already red and green... There is also coriander, which grows like celery.

The wheat seedlings have reached Wu Yannan's knees, and they are about to joint and ear.The rice has been planted in the newly dug paddy fields, and it is estimated that it will be harvested soon when the weather gets warmer.

Xu Jian took a boat down the river yesterday and told them about the situation of the Yihe tribe.The terrain of the Yihe tribe is low and low, and a large area of ​​land is submerged under the water.They had no choice but to dig mud and move it to the village, or grow vegetables and wheat on the roof of their own houses, and the harvest was fine.The little wheat Xu Jian planted in his yard has already been harvested. He plans to spread mud on the roof of his house and then plant wheat.The smell is a bit stinky, but in order to have more wheat seeds in the future, I have to endure it.

"The Chisha tribe shouldn't be flooded, right? Can we borrow their land to grow wheat and rice?" Yunzai made this proposal at that time, and Xu Jian thought it was feasible, so he went back with An Lie to discuss with Sura that day.

Early this morning, Yunzai turned into a green dragon and flew to the Chisha Tribe to visit. He learned that Su La brought Su Meng back to the Dothan Tribe, escorted by An Lie and Ah Heng, and was guiding Su Man and the others to plant wheat and rice.Yunzai also offered to lease the land and pay with wheat and rice seeds.Suman is naturally happy.After the heavy snow melted, the soil quality of the Chisha tribe improved slightly, and the planting conditions were much better than before.

Wu Yannan finally felt relieved when he heard the news from Yun Zai.He calculated how much grain he could give to the Chisha tribe for planting, and how much he could leave to improve the life of the elderly Grandpa Mucha, and finally took out more than 40 catties of wheat and more than 300 catties of rice.

"Remember to remind the people of the Chisha Tribe to take good care of the fields and prevent birds from digging over the soil and stealing grain!"

"it is good."

Yun Zai, carrying a huge animal skin bag, turned into a green dragon and soared up, before disappearing from Wu Yannan's sight in a blink of an eye.

There are enough vegetables at home, but eating vegetables alone is boring.Wu Yannan spread out the simple fishing net and prepared to catch some prawns for frying in the evening.The fishing net is very light, and he casts it effortlessly, but there are not many prawns in the river, and now that the water is rising, it is even more difficult to catch.Wu Yannan was busy until evening, and only managed to get half a bucket.

He was going to try again, but as soon as the fishing net was thrown, he staggered and was hit by the waves, and the boat swayed so violently that he almost fell into the water.At this time, there was a loud rumbling sound like thunder in the distance.But now the sun is shining brightly, how can there be thunder?

Wu Yannan grasped the side of the boat in wonder, and looked around.Sure enough, several fishing males nearby were startled by the sudden tumbling waves.The Yi River passed through a gentle area, and the water was not in a hurry, so why did it suddenly break into big waves?

"It seems to come from the east..."

"Is it thunder? It doesn't look like... Why do I feel that the ground is shaking? Hey, look, the tree by the river has fallen!"

Wu Yannan stood up slowly, looking at the turbulent river waves, suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart - an earthquake!
