I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"Who? Who's where?"

No one responded, Zhu Qiuqi not only looked for the source of the voice.

When she looked around carefully, she really found a thick green long snake lying on the grass that she had already cleared not far away.

Seeing that the color of the snake was similar to that of weeds, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't find it at a glance.

If that guy hadn't made some noise, Zhu Qiuqi probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

Seeing that the long snake was less than one meter away from where she was sitting just now, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat on her back.

If it weren't for her sensitive ears to hear a little movement, she still can't guarantee what will happen.

Snakes are indeed good medicines, but molluscs like Zhu Qiuqi's are born with a little fear.

Rao knew that the thing was a treasure, but she didn't have the guts to really catch the snake.

Zhu Qiuqi noticed that the snake seemed to be staring at her too, and hurriedly took two steps back.

Seeing that the snake was still lying motionless on the haystack, Zhu Qiuqi's heart was in her throat.

Now she does not dare to go into the woods again, for fear of encountering these snakes, insects, rats and ants again.

Looking at her tied trousers, Zhu Qiuqi felt a little relieved.

The snake didn't approach her, but stopped on the haystack, probably because of the medicine in her trousers.

But Zhu Qiuqi knew that the snake would not approach her again, but she still couldn't help feeling flustered when she saw such a thing suddenly.

Now that the system has been upgraded, Zhu Qiuqi doesn't plan to stay here to clean up any longer. She plans to wait for Zhang Siyuan and Tian Liang at the fork.

But she didn't expect that when she wanted to avoid the long snake, she stepped into the nearby grass pile.

Zhu Qiuqi originally thought that she would just fall down, but she didn't expect her whole body to slide down.

In an instant, Zhu Qiuqi realized something was wrong.She hastily stretched out her hand to grab it, and after grabbing several strong vines, she stopped the speed of her sliding down.

Zhu Qiuqi worked hard to calm her heartbeat, stretched her neck to look at her feet, and found that she had stepped into a piece of mud.

Looking into the distance, Zhu Qiuqi's eyes widened in shock.

This turned out to be a lotus pond!

Although this lotus pond doesn't look very big, Zhu Qiuxi was pleasantly surprised that the water in this lotus pond is very sufficient.

It was clearly the year of the catastrophe, but the lotus pond was not exhausted.

Zhu Qiuqi's heart is strange, and the place she is now does not allow her to think too much.

Stretching out his feet to test it down, he found that the water level of this lotus pond was not high.In addition to the silt below, it barely buried her waist.

But the place she was in was the edge of the lotus pond, so Zhu Qiuqi didn't rush to the center, worried that the water in the center would suddenly become deeper.

Thinking about the well in the backyard of Lizheng's house, it might have something to do with the lotus pond.

Otherwise, the other wells in the village would have dried up, so there would be no reason why Lizheng's well still had water.

Looking carefully at the lotus pond, Zhu Qiuqi discovered that the lotus pond was actually beside the mountain road.

It's a pity that no one walked around here, and the lush vegetation all year round also covered the entire lotus pond.

Looking at the thick lotus leaf branches not far away, Zhu Qiuqi was overjoyed.

In such a large lotus pond, there are probably a lot of lotus roots at the bottom.

She didn't move to the side, but stood at her original position and groped downwards, and she really felt the shape of a lotus root.

Zhu Qiuqi was excited, if there were these lotus roots, the Tian family's life would be easier.

If the water in the lotus pond can also be diverted to the village, the crops in the field and the people in the village will be relieved of water consumption.

It's just that Zhu Qiuqi can't calculate how much water is in the lotus pond.

If the source of water in this pond can be found, perhaps this drought can be truly resolved.

Zhu Qiuqi dug up a lot of lotus roots in the area near her. When Zhang Siyuan and Tian Liang came back, Zhu Qiuqi seemed to be wrapped in mud.

Zhang Siyuan was startled, and quickly stepped forward.

Seeing that Zhu Qiuqi was fine, she was relieved.

"What's wrong with you? How did you do this?"

Her body was covered in mud, and people who didn't know thought that Zhu Qiuqi rolled in the mud pit on purpose.

Tian Liang was also full of worry. When they entered the forest before, he was worried that it would be dangerous for Zhu Qiuqi, a woman, to come to this untouched forest.

So he and Zhang Siyuan caught a rabbit and a pheasant, and hurried back.

But when they saw Zhu Qiuqi's current appearance, Tian Liang's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing them worried, Zhu Qiuqi explained, "Don't worry, I'm fine, take a look at what this is?"

Zhu Qiuqi showed the lotus root she dug up to the two of them, her face was full of unconcealable joy.

The reason why she suddenly fell into the mud before was because she failed to notice that there was a lotus pond here.

After she calmed down, she realized that the area of ​​the flower pond was not small.And when she came up again, she was much more relaxed than before.

Without the nervousness and panic at the beginning, even if Zhu Qiuqi climbed up with the lotus root, it didn't take much effort.

"This...is this lotus root?"

Zhang Siyuan asked with some uncertainty, when he split one of the lotus roots.Seeing the hollow dish, Zhang Siyuan's heart burst with joy.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at Tian Liang and said with a smile, "Now we all don't have to be hungry."

When Tian Liang heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, his eyes suddenly became hot.

Although he didn't know where Zhu Qiuqi's lotus roots came from, but Zhu Qiuqi was able to say such things to him, obviously intending to give him the lotus roots.

But he couldn't just accept what Zhu Qiuqi gave, after all, Zhu Qiuqi's family still had two children to raise.

He is a big man with arms and legs, and it would be good to dig more wild vegetables in the back mountain.

"Siblings, I know you have good intentions. But these lotus roots... I can't accept them."

When Zhu Qiuqi heard Tian Liang's words and looked at his expression, she knew that Tian Liang had misunderstood her meaning.

She hurriedly dragged Dang Siyuan towards the lotus pond, and called Tian Liang to come along.

"Look at what this is?"

Zhang Siyuan looked at the lotus pond that had been stripped of weeds in front of him, his eyes were also full of shock.

He never expected that there would be a lotus pond in the area behind the mountain.

Seeing this, Tian Liang was also stunned.Staring blankly at the lotus pond in front of him, he was unable to speak for a long time.

When Zhu Qiuqi mentioned the well in the backyard of Lizheng's house before, she mentioned that there might be other water sources in the back mountain.
