Chapter 18: Obtaining the Seed
"It's okay, you go back first, I'll leave it here!" the man in black waved his hand, signaling them to hurry up.
Then, the three men in black left, and the leader came to the villagers of Xiaoxi Village again.
But his face changed to a very sad look,
"Folks, I just received an extremely distressing news, everyone must hold on!"
"What's the news?" the villagers froze.
"Do you know where the Heavenly Demon Lone Star in your mouth has gone? He was quietly protected by the county order in the Immortal City!" The man in black shook his head repeatedly.
"What? It was quietly protected by the county order! Impossible, hasn't the county already posted a wanted list?"
Hearing the man's words, the villagers' first reaction was not to believe it.
"Alas, that's all the government's drama for you to see, otherwise why is there no news from the county seat after so long! And I heard that the evil lone star also gave a slander to the county order that day, and in the future, Xiaoxi Village will not only be exempted from taxes, but will also have to pay it three years in advance!"
The man in black said it so really that he almost believed it.
"Can't we go to the county order to ask for an explanation, my Xiaoxi Village has just been affected by the disaster, not only will we not be compensated, but we will also ........"
Hearing that the tax was to be collected in advance, the villagers of Xiaoxi Village immediately became excited.
In their eyes, paying taxes early is killing them.
"Okay, I heard that the county order has not yet been issued, and now it's too late to go to Xiancheng to stop it, in case the list is ....."
Seeing that the villagers were very excited, the corners of the black-clothed man's mouth showed a slight sneer.
"What? can you still go!" said a villager, indignantly.
"Let's go, I also want to go to the county seat, why don't we go together, I can also help you say a few words!"
"Then thank you for the strong man, you and those two benefactors are good people, unlike the government....."
Unconsciously, the man in black has also become a good person in the eyes of the villagers.
"By the way, bring your hoes and guys, lest you run into bandits on the road....." When the man in black came, he didn't forget to kindly remind him.
So half an hour later, all the villagers of Xiaoxi Village rushed to the county seat with their guys on their shoulders, wanting to ask for an explanation for themselves.
As everyone knows, once they leave, the chance of returning to Xiaoxi Village in the future has become extremely slim.
Ignoring the movements in Xiaoxi Village and the county seat, Wen Hao at the foot of the nameless mountain was in full swing.
With a universal hoe, everything was quite neat, and in just five days, a house made of stone bricks was already standing on the foundation they had laid before.
"Dad, mother, you can live in a new house tonight, and you can't sleep outside anymore!" Wenhao looked at the house and said with great satisfaction.
I have to say that this house is much more beautiful than the adobe houses they lived in before.
The wood used is all good materials selected from the woods outside for decades, and the stone bricks and stone tiles are built by the writers from those chaotic stones one by one.
I can proudly say that this house is one of the best in the county.
That's not all, the remaining broken stones are paved into two roads about three meters wide, one extending in the direction of Qingquan and the other extending in the direction of Xiaoxi Village.
Although these two roads are only paved a little bit at present, in the long run, it will definitely be easy to get around.
"Hao'er, my father and mother are old, you have the final say on everything in the future!"
Wenhao's father never dreamed that he would live in such a house one day, and looking at everything in front of him, he understood that it was his son who brought it.
"Daddy, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future!" the writer smiled quite confidently.
Now he has built a house, and he will build many, many more later..... then this will be his home base.
But excitement is excitement, Wen Hao knows that there are still too many things lacking, and the most important thing is that the food they brought out from home can only support the rations of five people for half a year.
Even if his strength is greatly increased now, he can easily hunt some beasts, at most, he will be able to last for an extra month or two, and food is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
"By the way, Hao'er, look at what we can do, now that the house is built, why don't we help build a fence and make a small yard out today?"
The mentality of the writer's father has slowly changed from the initial resistance to a positive response.
Although he is bent on letting his son get ahead and become an official, it is a wish after all, and it is okay to be plain now.
"Tie the fence?" the writer thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Since you have chosen to take root here, the courtyard wall and gate should also be made of stone bricks, and the fence can only make do, and sooner or later it will have to be demolished.
However, seeing his father's and mother's hopeful eyes, Wenhao had a flash of inspiration and came up with a job for them.
"Father, mother, today I will clean up the periphery and open up seven or eight acres of fields, and it will be up to you to plant what you plant!"
Wenhao's father and mother are only in their early fifties, and there is no problem at all in working in the fields, and they are also very famous farmers in the village.
"Farming?
Wenhao's father was bright, although the best sowing time has passed, some late-maturing varieties can still be tried,
Even if it doesn't work, you can see if the land is fertile, and if it becomes next year's rations, you will have it.
At this moment, the five of them have already had breakfast, and after the matter is discussed, they will do it.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er continued to level the foundation, and they had to build a few more houses, while Wenhao carried a hoe across the pile of rubble to the woods.
Because of the construction of the house, the writer has cut down a lot of trees here, and now it is a good place to open up fields.
With enough internal strength and a round universal hoe, the writer swept through the woods like a strong wind.
In two hours, a vacant land of about seven or eight acres was cleared.
Looking at the branches all over the ground, Wen Hao knew that this was just the beginning.
The day's work passed in a flash, until noon the next day, and the useful wood in the open space had been moved back to the house.
And the useless treetops were burned to ashes by the writer and used as fertilizer.
Throat!
The slightly black fertile soil under a hoe is turned up, and it is common sense that only by turning over all the land here can you cultivate the land.
However, at this time, the writer's face showed ecstasy, just because the prompt sound of the system sounded in his mind again,
"Ding, because the host is actively cultivating the land, the system rewards a seed gift package ....."
What does it mean to have a pillow when you are sleepy, this is it!
Wen Hao and the others brought some seeds with them when they came out, but they didn't have a lot of them, and they had to leave enough rations.
And now it's....
