MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 7
After watering the ground, Lin Ling dragged her exhausted body back to the yard. Before it was dark, she cooked a pot of steamed buns. She was going to the mountain to water the ground and plant trees tomorrow, so she had to eat some food to fight hunger.
The steamed buns made from the dough fermented without yeast powder are very hard, and there is no sugar in them, and only the original wheat fragrance is eaten. This kind of hard steamed buns will definitely not be sold before the end of the world, but it is also scarce in the end of the world. good stuff.
Lin Ling, who was gnawing on the hard steamed buns, thought of the few rows of vegetables planted in the vegetable field. After a few days when the leeks were ready to be harvested, she would make a meal of leek-filled dumplings to reward herself and celebrate her life. There is more and more hope.
Lin Ling ate one steamed bun and didn't eat any more. She saved up the remaining six and ate two a day, which was enough for three days.
After putting away the steamed buns, Lin Ling fetched a bucket of water from the well before the heat in the yard came down. She planned to take a cold shower. She hadn't showered for many days, and it smelled a little stinky.
A few days ago, the water in the well was not enough for her to drink, so she didn't use the well water. Today, there is finally enough water for her to take a bath. She has to take a good bath while there is water today.
Lin Ling found the soap left by the original owner of the yard, and washed it from head to toe. Fortunately, he has short, neat hair, otherwise it would be a waste of water.
After washing, she felt relaxed: "It's really comfortable."
Xiaolu jumped to Lin Ling's shoulder: why don't you wash in the pond? There is a lot of water there.
"It smells like fish." Because the **** fish had a big body and a strong fishy smell, Lin Ling would not bathe in the pond water if he had a choice.
Little Green shook the leaves, this little brother really stinks!
"The temperature has dropped, let's go inside." Lin Ling put the bucket of clothes into the house, then closed the door and locked it inside, walked two steps and suddenly stepped on something soft.
She bent down to pick it up, and found that it was a little bear. She frowned and looked at Xiaolu: "Did you do it?"
Little Green didn't admit it: it fell by itself.
Lin Ling patted the ashes on Little Bear's body, "It was still sitting on the chair before I went out, and the doors and windows were never opened. How could it have fallen? Was it you or someone else?"
Xiaolu framed her new younger brother: Dahei.
"It just stayed in the pond and sprayed water, how could it come to the house to make trouble?" Lin Ling spent a few days with Xiaolu, and got a rough idea of his temper, and it must be Xiaolu playing his temper.
Xiaolu still didn't admit it, and just jumped and ran away.
"Don't dare to do what you dare to do." Lin Ling whispered, and then patted the ashes on the bear doll, "You didn't hurt from the fall, did you?"
Little Bear remained silent.
"It's good that it doesn't hurt." Lin Ling put the bear doll back on the chair, said good night to it, and went upstairs.
Before her hair was dry, Lin Ling sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt that was no longer musty, wiped her hair with one hand, and gently tapped Xiaolu who was lying on the wooden frame next to the bed with the other hand, "Why did you put your hair on the bed today?" Push the bear doll down?"
Xiaolu pretended to be an immobile green vine and ignored her.
"Did it offend you?" Lin Ling looked helplessly at Xiaolu who looked like a child throwing a tantrum, "It's just a rag doll that can't move, why are you angry with it?"
Xiaolu moved her small body, not letting Lin Ling touch it, and didn't want to make a sound.
Lin Ling didn't know what kind of temper Xiaolu was playing, so she sighed helplessly. She stroked her half-dried hair and yawned: "It's late, I'm going to bed."
"It's cold outside, do you want to sleep together under the covers?" Lin Ling gave Xiaolu a step down.
The arrogant little green moved its small body, it is not afraid of the cold.
"Are you really not coming? I'm going to sleep!" Lin Ling's patience was limited, and she fell asleep if Xiaolu didn't come again.
Xiaolu jumped off the bedside table, ran to lie down next to Lin Ling's pillow, and said arrogantly: You are so afraid of the cold even though you are human? Forget it, let me accompany you, lest you be frozen!
Lin Ling: "..."
Forget it! sleep, sleep!
After waking up the next day, Lin Ling went downstairs to wash her clothes.
While she was doing laundry, Xiaolu ran to the little bear doll and babbled: I sleep with her every day! Any idea why? It's because she still likes me more!
The thoughtless bear doll remained silent.
After Lin Ling finished drying her clothes, she took a hard, cold steamed bun and went out. While eating, she walked out, and when she reached the vegetable field, she saw a piece of emerald green, which was growing very well.
Little Green arched Linling's wrist: You don't care about them?
"It doesn't matter." Now that the water sprayed by the **** fish has the ability to promote the growth of plants, there is no need for Lin Ling to waste her ability. Let her save her ability to plant trees.
Lin Ling went to fetch water from the pond, and carried the water to the surrounding hillside. The silk thatch that was stimulated by using supernatural powers a few days ago has survived, and a few new leaves have grown by itself, but because of the lack of water, it seems Weary.
Lin Ling watered them one by one first, and after drinking enough water, they quickly recovered, and their long leaves shook gently, as if to say thank you to her.
Xiaolu looked at the rejuvenated silk grasses, and arched Linling's wrist: water a lot around them, and they will grow a lot soon.
"I know." Lin Ling carried water to the scorched hillside, scooped up water with a ladle and sprinkled it casually. If there is a well-preserved rhizome under the scorched ground, it will slowly grow out by itself, Xiao Green looked at the water that was soaking into the ground soon: there is still a lot more, let them drink up.
"There's not much water in the pond, so there's no way to make them drink all at once." Lin Ling looked far away in the direction of the village, at least one or two miles away, and it was very troublesome to go back and forth. It would be fine if there was a water pump.
But I can only think about it. There are water pumps in the village, but there is no way to use these devices without electricity. In addition, the country will not be able to restore the national power supply in the short term. If Lin Ling wants to use electricity, he can only find generators. Power generation, but these things are not available in the village, so you have to go to the outside village to find them.
Currently there is no generator to pump water, so Lin Ling can only run back and forth. After running back and forth 20 times and barely watering a small hill, her legs are already too weak.
"worn out."
Xiaolu shook the water drops on the leaves: she was not tired at all.
"Of course you're not tired anymore." Lin Ling stretched out her hand and poked Xiaolu. When she was working, Xiaolu had been taking a bath in her bucket, with two leaves gently resting on the edge of the bucket, like an old man Very leisurely.
Xiaolu wrapped around Lin Ling's fingers and circled up: "There's no water again, hurry up and fetch water, I still have to take a bath."
"I want to take a bath and go to the pond by myself." Lin Ling, who was already out of breath, rolled her eyes, "I have no strength, I can't do it anymore."
Xiaolu pointed to the small hill in the distance: But there are still many hills waiting for you.
Although the small hills are called small hills, they are actually not small at all. One is more than ten acres wide. It will take at least several days to water all the hills, and there is not enough water in the pond. Lin Ling said: "I'll go outside tomorrow to find a generator and come back to pump water to irrigate the field."
Xiaolu arched Lin Ling's finger in disgust: Why are you so weak!
With his eyes closed, Lin Ling could imagine Xiaolu's disdainful look with his eyes and nose upturned, and he flicked Xiaolu away annoyed, "You said it so easily, why don't you go fetch water for a try?"
Little Green, who had no defense at all, was shaken by the bounce, and it hit back with the leaf unhappily, refusing to suffer at all!
Lin Ling withdrew her hand, and said very aggrieved: "You hurt me, I won't be able to do any work in the future, and I will leave the work of watering the land and planting trees to you."
Xiaolu crossed her hips angrily, then the leaves closed instantly, and then fell straight on the ground, pretending to be dead very playfully: I fainted, and I couldn't do it either.
Lin Ling: "..."
She sighed, Xiaolu was hopeless, she should go out to find a generator by herself, and see if she could find some daily necessities, but going out is not a simple matter, and a long-term plan is needed.
It was still early, so Lin Ling continued to work.
Because the speed of the **** fish spitting water was slower than Lin Ling's fetching speed, she stopped fetching water to irrigate the mountain bag for the time being, but went to another hillside with a **** to search for unrotted tree roots.
Xiaolu was very puzzled: why do you have to find a tree?
"If you want to get rich, plant trees first. How can grass be better than trees?" Lin Ling continued to search for the roots of the trees. After searching all afternoon, he found more than a dozen pine tree roots that did not rot.
Lin Ling urged these pine trees to germinate and grow, and stopped after growing a small sapling more than ten centimeters high. In addition, he fetched a bucket of water and watered them one by one, one by one. A bucket of water is enough.
Xiaolu looked at these young saplings with distaste: why are there only a few?
"It's good if you have it." Lin Ling didn't know the things in the end of the world, and she didn't know what happened to cause her to search for a long time before finding more than a dozen tree roots. Look for tree seeds somewhere, but if it doesn't work, she uses supernatural powers to stimulate the trees to grow and branch faster.
Xiaolu shook the leaves above her head: grow more grass.
"I want to plant trees." Lin Ling still remembers the tree-lined parks before the end of the world, the mountains with mountains and forests, the clear streams, and the villages with laughter. Those things that I never cared about have now become nostalgic memories.
Lin Ling wanted to restore the green mountains and green waters in her memory, even if it was a bit hard and tiring, it was worth it. After all, the country gave her so much land, wouldn't it be a waste not to grow some trees?
Lin Ling asked Xiaolu: "Xiaolu, do you know where there are still trees?"
Xiaolu shook the leaves, expressing that she didn't know.
Lin Ling glanced at Xiaolu with disgust: "Useless Xiaolu."
Xiaolu jumped up, and fiercely Gong Linling: You are useless.
Lin Ling: "You are useless."
Little Green: You are useless.
The two rookies pecked at each other for a while, Lin Ling sighed, "I can't count on you anymore, I'd better count on the experts on the phone."
