The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 440 Harvest, Picnic (2)
To build a thatched hut, one has to choose a place first, and then clear the place.Therefore, Master Liu brought people over yesterday.They live in the homes of farmers in Sunjia Village, get up early to work, eat some dry food with them at noon, and return to Sunjia Village after work in the evening.After working all day yesterday, Master Liu led people to choose a location in the middle of the thousands of miles of wasteland, and enough space has been cleared.Today, their main task is to dig a simple foundation for the thatched house, and prepare as much hay and soil as possible.When materials such as thatch, wood, and tarpaulin arrive, they can build a strong thatched house.The thatch was specifically requested by Qing Shu, because the thatched cottage is prone to leaking when it rains, and using thatch can solve this problem.

The carriages and horses stopped at the place where Master Liu and the others were working, and everyone got out of the carriages one after another.

Chen Qiaojiang was the first to go to see Master Liu and the others work, and then Qingyang and the others all passed by.They were very curious and kept asking questions, which made the good-tempered Master Liu burst out laughing from time to time.

But Mr. Lu looked around, stroked his beard and said, "It will take a lot of work to open up here." Then he pointed to the direction of the hill to the north, "Shu girl, your fruit trees are going to be planted over there. ?"

Qing Shu looked in that direction, "That's the plan. Although the top of the mountain is small, it is still a mountain, and the land under the feet is always rocky. I am afraid that there will be no harvest for growing vegetables and food. Trees are different, they are not afraid of gravel, as long as they are planted Where there is soil and no shortage of water, the roots can live. Pushing forward from the foot of the small hill, three or four hundred acres of land are used for nothing but planting trees or fruit trees. Naturally, this cannot be completed in a year. It is estimated that it will take three or four years. The rest of the land has no gravel, and after it has been opened up, it will be possible to grow vegetables and grains, and there will be some harvest, so that there will be no harvest."

Mr. Lu looked around again, "Why is there no water source in this place! It's good that there is plenty of rain, but what should we do in a drought year?"

Water source is indeed very important, Qing Shu also understands. "Water source is indeed a big problem. The spring on the top of the hill is too small. Although it flows all the year round, it can't solve anything. The master who drilled the well will come to find the water vein tomorrow. I have a good look at the location. First, I will dig two wells for use. I’ve been thinking about it recently, if there is a river nearby, it’s okay if it’s far away, it doesn’t matter if you dig a canal or a river channel, if you can bring the river water over, the irrigation problem will be solved.”

Mr. Lu suddenly thought of something, but he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't say it. He just stroked his beard and looked in the direction of Liangzhou thoughtfully.

At this time, Maizi suddenly clapped his hands and shouted excitedly, "Birds, fly away, a lot of birds."

Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang all surrounded them and kept asking where they were.

Maizi pointed to the trembling withered grass ahead, "There, it flew in."

Qingyang and the others saw that there seemed to be something moving in the withered grass in front of them, and it was moving far away, so they all stretched their necks curiously.Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.The height of the withered grass was almost up to their waists, and small animals were running in it. Except for the slightly swaying withered grass, it was impossible to tell what was running.

Guard Du seemed to know what was escaping in the withered grass, so he summoned an eagle guard, "Take a bow and arrow and look over there." He took a look at Qingyang who kept jumping up and looking over there, and then ordered, "Try to catch as much as possible." Live."

Yingwei said yes, took the bow and arrow, and walked into the withered grass that had calmed down.

Chen Qiaojiang was excited to follow, but the guards stopped him, saying it was dangerous.

Qing Shu came over, "What's going on?"

Chen Qiaojiang and the others rushed to report that Maizi saw a lot of birds, and the guards went to catch them.

Qing Shu asked Du Weiwei with his eyes.

Du Weiwei replied, "Miss, it's a pheasant that comes out to look for food. There are about six or seven." Pheasants are not like domestic chickens. Go out a short distance.It is probably because of these characteristics that Maizi, who saw the pheasant flying away, misunderstood it and said it was a bird.

After hearing this, Qingyang and the others cheered loudly, chattering around Qingshu, saying that they were going to catch pheasants.

Qing Shu couldn't say.Unexpectedly, even Maizi and Shengge joined in, surrounded Qingshu, causing Qingshu to have a headache and dizziness.

Guard Du looked at it from the sidelines. While sympathizing with Miss, he looked around and asked the other guards around him, "What do you think?"

The guards pondered for a while, and said that as long as the young masters don't run around, it's not impossible.Guard Du thought about it, there are quite a few servants and people in the village here, so one guard was left behind, and the other guards protected the young masters to hunt pheasants and hares, which is fine.So he nodded to the lady.

Qingshu felt surprised, told Qingyang and the others to stop arguing, and then asked, "Are you sure there is no problem?"

Guard Du looked at the back of the guard who had already gone away, and said, "Young masters, if you are obedient, don't run around, and don't make a sound to startle the prey, it's not impossible."

Now Qingyang and the others were excited, shouting that they would be obedient and full of promises.

Qing Shu looked at the withered grass everywhere, and at the satin clothes Chen Qiaojiang and the others were wearing, hesitating.But when she met their expectant and excited eyes, she said cruelly, "Success." However, when they shouted excitedly, she immediately asked them to be quiet, and first made three chapters with them.Fortunately, she knew that boys were very wild when they played, so she prepared clothes made of ordinary materials and brought them over before departure.So, she gave an order to let them go back to the car and change out the good clothes on their bodies.

After a little preparation, Guard Du took the lead, three Ying Guards plus one guard from the Chen Mansion and one guard from the Luo Mansion, making a total of six guards, bringing along Chen Qiaojiang, Hao, Qingyang, Luo Xiaorong, Shengge, Maizi and others. Little girl, let's go hunting.

Seeing them walking away, Qing Shu felt a little uneasy, and muttered, "Is there any problem? I wonder if there are any dangerous wild animals in this place? I never thought there would be any wild animals before."

Mr. Lu said, "Don't worry, there aren't many pheasants and hares here, let alone dangerous prey. The guards can safely take them there because they know this and want to coax them to play."

After hearing this, Qing Shu was relieved, and had an idea, "Since there are only some pheasants and hares, and there is no danger, I can walk around and have a look at it with confidence."

"You girl, what's your plan?"

"I can come up with any ideas, but I just want to walk around." Qingshu said so, and asked Xiaojuan to talk to Guanshi Ding, and asked Guanshi Ding to arrange some people for her.

"Mr. has already come, it's boring to just stand like this. Okay, sir, accompany Shu girl to look around."

Qing Shu had no objection to this, returned to the carriage, changed a pair of shoes, met Mr. Lu, and started walking around.Steward Ding himself walked ahead with two servants, cutting off the dry plants with thick roots that got in the way with a hatchet from time to time.Accompanied by the maid, Qingshu talked to Mr. Lu without saying a word, while looking around.Behind, the other two servants and an eagle guard who was left behind to protect her followed.
