Poor family mother and son

Chu Qing spoke with certainty, Li Hu also nodded in agreement, but he was wondering in his heart: Is Lin Yang Hou planning to take the opportunity to poison these people by giving away medicinal materials, and directly exterminate the family to seize the territory?

No wonder Li Hu thought so.

First of all, from the perspective of a doctor, if you tell him about the same medicinal material, you must first explain its attributes and effects, such as non-toxic, cold in nature, bitter, and pungent, and the whole plant can be used as medicine; Efficacy; it can even be used as livestock feed.

Only those who want to poison others will say: "If you are sick, take this medicine. It will cure all diseases and be effective."

Secondly, the Chu family on the island grows inexplicable food, and they gather people with their own backgrounds, such as the surname Zhuo, who is not an ordinary person at first glance, and his own brother Chao, who escaped from death.

The origin is unknown, and they are still gathered here. It is obvious that Marquis Linyang has the intention of occupying the island.

Besides, 500 people and five cannons are standing there not far away, what a powerful combat force!

Marquis Linyang is planning to bombard him if he is poisoned, right?

Li Hu really did not expect Marquis Linyang to make such an amazing weapon in private. He saw it with his own eyes when he was testing the cannon.
Forget it, if Marquis Linyang really has this intention, then Li Hu can only help, otherwise, Brother Chao will have to live on this island from now on?Always be safe.

Chu Qing tried his best to communicate with the woman, Li Hu pretended to be authoritative but couldn't help thinking about things, the watchdog that gave Chu Qing a sense of accomplishment suddenly straightened its neck, and its ears adjusted its direction alertly.

Then the dog barked suddenly, and Chu Qing was about to bark his teeth to scare it again, when he heard dogs from every household around him barking.

While they bark, they move back and forth in a small way from time to time, as if the ground is hot to the feet, but the barking direction is very consistent - the rice field.

There are coconut trees and boat houses blocking the line of sight, Chu Qing can't see anything, but there are already young people who have climbed up the coconut trees and looked into the distance.

Xiaobao took a few steps to run up to a coconut tree a little further away, climbing faster than those young natives.

He set up the binoculars and quickly saw the situation: "A group of people appeared at the end of their rice field, um... people like them, with bows and arrows and dogs, are chasing a group of wild boars..."

"No!" Xiaobao corrected: "It seems that the group of people drove a group of wild boars towards the rice fields here!"

A group of people drove a herd of wild boars here?

After observing for a while, the young natives on the tree began to shout and report what they saw to the villagers below.

Immediately, the villagers became noisy, and the villagers who were controlled by the Chu family were particularly anxious, because they seemed to be the strongest young people in the village.

The woman didn't care about negotiating with Chu Qing anymore, she pushed Chu Qing away and trotted away. She was about to rush down the slope in a hurry, and there were already villagers running ahead of her.

The controlled villagers were talking to the Chu family, pointing at the knife on their necks, and pointing in the direction of the rice fields.

They do rush.

There are two villages here, and they have had feuds for several years, and almost every year they fight with weapons several times.

The reason is land grabbing.

The red-hull upland rice here is particularly difficult to grow. Although the island is very hot and there is no winter, rice can only be harvested once a year.

Ordinarily, at the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River in Daxuan, rice can reach two harvests. This island is warmer, so it should be no problem to harvest three crops, but it can't.

In Daxuan, farmers’ wasteland burning refers to burning the weeds and shrubs on the wasteland before reclamation, which can not only fertilize the field, but also burn the weed seeds and insect eggs in the ground, so as to avoid competition with crops for nutrients in the future.

But it is different here. People here burn wasteland to select land and accumulate fertilizer.

This kind of red-hull rice only grows in the mountains, so you need to choose a place in the mountains. There are trees in the mountains. In order to grow rice, they will cut down trees in patches.

The felled trees are then burned to ashes and sprinkled on the land as fertilizer.

The island is hot and humid, and men have to carry tools up the mountain to take advantage of the relatively dry season in February and March every year.

They carefully climbed from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree, and then moved from tree to tree, cutting off the last leaf as much as possible, chopping the cut trees into firewood, and exposing them to the sun.

This is already very difficult. When the firewood is dry, it will be burned to ashes and thrown into the ground.

The weather on the island is rainy when there is a gust of wind, it is not easy to cut down trees, it is even more difficult to dry them in the sun, and it is even more difficult to store ashes.

After the first rain in May, plant ash can be sprinkled when the soil is soft, so that the plant ash can moisten the land with the water before planting.

These aborigines use this slash-and-burn method to grow upland rice.

There are mountains and forests everywhere here, and there are not many places that can be used as arable land. After finally choosing a place, it is likely to be used this year, and a typhoon will destroy it.

The two villages took a fancy to the same piece of land, and they both came here to cut trees, and neither would let the other, so a fight broke out.

The folk customs are tough, and they copy guys in group fights, otherwise it would be a fight with weapons.

Therefore, death and injury are inevitable, so that a death feud is formed.

Now that there is an enmity, the party that did not grab the land must come and destroy it from time to time, either after the rice seedlings grow or when they are harvesting, anyway, so that they have something to plant but nothing to reap.

In addition to this kind of man-made destruction, the rice fields are also subject to pecking by birds, especially at the mature stage. This kind of rice has an extremely strong fragrance and is particularly easy to attract various animals, such as roe deer and wild boars.

However, the yield of rice is low, and only more than 100 catties can be harvested per mu of land.

There is not much food that the natives of the island can cultivate, and red-hulled rice is the most delicious and nourishing food. People cherish it very much and must swear to protect it to the death.

Now, the people from that village came to make trouble again, but half of the people in this village fell down because of malaria, their combat power was not enough, and Chu Qing controlled many people, so don't worry!

But it was useless for them to be anxious, they babbled for a long time, even Chu Qing and the others couldn't understand!

However, since those people drove the wild boars to destroy the rice fields, no matter what the reason was, they should not waste the food, and they deserve death!

Chu Qing decided to take care of it.

She doesn't care how these people fight, and it's none of her business if people's brains beat dogs' brains, but she doesn't want wild boars to waste food.

"Brothers, copy guys!" Chu Qing ordered: "There is meat to eat today! The pork belongs to us!"

Hurrah, people quickly surrounded Chu Qing and ran down the hillside, Xiaobao hurried down the tree with his binoculars in his arms: "Hey, I told you to wait for me!"

Just listening to his report, but not waiting for him to leave, this is still his own mother!
