“Qin… Lady Qin, you’re … Where did you get the cows and sheep?”
After Deng Feng was injured, Uncle Mi had become the leader of the survivors, so he was the first to come back to his senses and walked to the ridge to ask MO Ruyue.
I just went out for a walk and met them by accident. At first, there were only a few of them, but after looking carefully, I only found these. There aren’t many.
MO Ruyue said lightly.
But her calm tone sounded like a fairy tale, at least the survivors were stunned.
To be able to find a herd of cattle and sheep just by strolling around, how lucky was he?
It seemed that yesterday, Lady Qin and Young Master Ying had gone out for a trip and brought back enough food and property for everyone to tide over the crisis.
So it turned out that so many good things could really be found by luck?
No matter what the survivors were thinking, at least MO Ruyue had brought back something good. And the mountain of grass in the carriage behind them made everyone even more speechless.
“Uncle Mi, there’s a small valley that’s easy to find a few miles away from here. It’s probably because of the geothermal energy, so it’s covered with grass. It’s a good pasture.”
“We won’t have to worry about the problem of food for the animals in the future, but we have to take care of the grasslands. That valley isn’t that big. If the grass is eaten up, there won’t be a second suitable grassland to find.”
MO Ruyue explained the situation in detail, and specifically pointed out the damage the two livestock had done to the pasture.
Of course, this was a problem that the survivors would have to consider in the future. She could only talk about it briefly. How they would live in the future depended on their own considerations and plans.
Just as MO Ruyue had said, the two of them would have to leave eventually. There would be all kinds of accidents and difficulties in the future. They could only help for a while, not forever.
“Lady Qin, are these cows and sheep also for us?
Uncle Mi had guessed this, but he still asked with uncertainty.
“That’s right, its naturally for you. Otherwise, do you think we’re going to drive a herd of cows and sheep on the road? If you don’t want them, you can set them free.”
MO Ruyue deliberately teased.
“No, no, of course I want it. How can I not want it?”
Uncle Mi blurted out immediately. When he saw the slyness that flashed across MO Ruyue’s eyes, he realized that he had been teased by her.
“Haha, Uncle Mi, don’t worry. It’s just that these cows and sheep need to be placed in a suitable place Otherwise, let’s not talk about whether they will attract any hungry wild beasts. Even if they sneak away in the middle of the night, you won’t know.”
“If that’s the case, I’ve wasted my efforts to get them back, and I’ve even gotten this pile of fodder.”
MO Ruyue’s words reminded Uncle Mi, and he immediately said, “Lady Qin, don’t worry! I used to herd sheep for the landlord, so I have experience in both sheep and cattle. Just leave it to me. ‘
“That’s great. There are still some abandoned courtyards in the village. Some of the cattle and sheep pens can be used after a little cleaning and reinforcement. It’s very convenient.”
MO Ruyue jumped off the carriage very readily and handed the reins to Uncle
Mi. As for the cows and sheep, they all followed behind the carriage, stretching their mouths to get a bite of the grass on the carriage, so they naturally followed the carriage.
Uncle Mi warned the survivors who were working in the fields and then drove the carriage to the village.
“Lady Qin, we thought we couldn’t sow today. Look, this land was very dry yesterday, but it’s almost dry today. In one day, more than half of the seeds have been sown!”
A woman walked over and pointed at the large piece of land where the work had been done and reported to MO Ruyue happily.
“Not bad. If we continue at this speed, we can finish sowing soon. I think we’ll have a good harvest this year.”
MO Ruyue also smiled and nodded in agreement.
She looked at the field in front of her, as if she could already see the scene of a bumper harvest.
When she was in the Qin Village, she had been allocated a few pieces of land. However, other than letting her babies grow vegetables for a few days at the beginning, she had slipped away after they had split up.
She herself had never tried the feeling of farming, but after this natural disaster, she actually got to experience it.
The spring plowing had already arrived, so she and Gu Ying could also leave.
Three days later, all the land outside the entire survivor’s village had been sown.
The farming tools that MO Ruyue had improved according to the condition of the land were also out of the oven and distributed to everyone.
The cattle and sheep pen was also repaired. The animals were used to being kept in captivity. Now that they had returned to the side of humans, they quickly adapted to the life of a new master.
Gu Ying took some time to bring Uncle Mi to a valley with geothermal energy. Now that they had the cow queen, some of the horse carriages could be modified into ox carriages that could carry more things.
It was still too tiring to graze their livestock for more than 30 miles a day. More importantly, if they encountered other refugees on the road, there might be more unpredictable situations.
Deng Feng was determined to leave with MO Ruyue. There were only a few strong men left among the survivors. Most of them were women and children, and a few elderly people.
Such a village had no ability to protect itself at all. It could be said that it was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The only thing he could think of now was to reduce contact with the outside world as much as possible. Even when he went out to cut grass, he had to do it secretly in the evening or early in the morning.
This was the only way. The village’s ability to protect itself was too weak.
After returning from the valley, Uncle Mi had specially brought back many grass seeds from the valley and scattered them in places far away from the crops outside the village.
When the weather became warmer. the plants would germinate. And everything would recover. The green grass here would also grow, so there was no need to go to the geothermal valley.
As for the other important problem-water, MO Ruyue didn’t need to worry about it.
There were two wells in the village, and when they were not in use, they were covered with a light bluestone cover. When the natural disaster struck, the two wells were miraculously not damaged.
The well water inside was still clear and sweet. It had also been tested by MO Ruyue. The well water was rich in minerals and trace elements, but there were no harmful things to the body.
She couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder. It seemed that even though the heavens had sent down such a terrifying disaster, they had still left a chance of survival for different people in different places.
All the suffering would eventually pass, and the destruction and pain brought by the natural disasters would slowly return to the original peace and quiet as time passed.
Although the landscape had been permanently changed, as long as people had not been completely exterminated, they would quickly reproduce on this land and survive for generations.
MO Ruyue didn’t want to think about things that happened so long ago. She only hoped that although the survivors in front of her had a hard time, at least they could live a stable and ordinary life and not suffer any more disasters.
On this day, when the villagers came back from work in the fields, they saw
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying standing in the square of the village. Beside them was Deng Feng, who had not shown his face for a long time.
The smiles on everyone’s faces suddenly slowly disappeared. MO Ruyue didn’t need to say anything. Almost everyone could vaguely guess what she wanted to say..
