Qiao Ran walked to the hillside with the basket in her arms.

There are ridges of cultivated land here. Last time we pulled out a lot of peanuts, beans, potatoes, etc., leaving more than a dozen ridges of land. Now we can loosen the soil and sow new seeds.

There were hoes, nails, rakes and other tools under the tree next to her, and she took them over casually.

She planted two ridges of each seed in the basket. Because it was for breeding, she immediately irrigated it with spiritual spring water after planting. She hoped that the crops grown in the spiritual spring water would produce better seeds.

When sowing the pepper seeds, she merged the four ridges into two ridges, crushed the lumps of soil and rubbish, spread the surface evenly, spread the pepper seeds evenly, and then lightly poured the spiritual spring water.

When she was growing vegetables in the yard, she had already discovered that using spiritual spring water to grow any crops did not require fertilizer. She only needed to water the spiritual spring water several times during the production process.

After doing this, Qiao Ran sent the little white tiger back to the yard, told it a few words not to cause mischief, then touched the little white tiger, which was whining reluctantly, and left the space.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast early and couldn't wait to go into the valley and start their forest burning activities.

Qiao Ran ate a few pieces of the fragrant meatloaf and the very sticky rice porridge that her mother had made early this morning. She carried a few pieces of meatloaf and two eggs that her mother had wrapped in oil paper for her. Set off with the excited men.

Women and old people also followed with their children. They wanted to follow to the mouth of the valley, watch the fire burn from a distance, and witness the first step of building a home.

As long as the miasmatic forest is burned down, the Devil's Valley will no longer be a man-eating Devil's Valley, but a fairy valley suitable for them to live, cultivate and thrive.

In order to prevent outsiders from randomly breaking into the valley in the future, Qiao Ran was also thoughtful. When opening the road, she told the men in the village to only open a small path that could barely accommodate a carriage and not to open it too wide. Don’t clean up the dense forest either.

They also piled the cut thorns on the roadside. In case of special circumstances in the future, they could pile the thorns on the road to block the road, or set up some traps to prevent malicious people from approaching their new home.

Everyone entered the valley along the opened path. Following Qiao Ran's instructions, one person stood a few feet away, each holding a broom-like branch used to put out fires.

When everyone was ready, Qiao Ran, Qiao Erhe, Li Daqiang, Shitou and others lit the dead leaves in the isolation zone from several directions.

It was winter, and the ground in the woods was covered with dead leaves and branches, and God seemed to be helping them. It hadn't snowed much in the past two days, and the sun was shining every day. People didn't need to wear jackets when standing in the sun. My wife felt very hot.

Therefore, in the woods where almost all the leaves have fallen, the snow from the previous days has long been melted by the sun, and the dead leaves are still hanging on.

A little spark spread quickly and gradually formed a prairie fire.

Looking from a distance, you can see that in a certain place in Devil's Valley, several fires are burning, and gradually they are gathering in the middle.

Both the men standing in the isolation zone and the women and old people standing in the entrance of Devil's Valley from a distance looking at the scene inside were all very excited.

They are finally going to carve out the first piece of land for their new home!

Burn the harmful miasma forest and turn it into fertile land. The soil can be loosened and planted next year to harvest the first batch of food for them to start a new life.

This is a very remarkable thing that everyone in the capital has thought about for decades, but no one has been able to do it.

Everyone stared excitedly at the woods in front of them, watching them burn little by little. The crackling sound of the burning branches seemed to be a beautiful movement, a victory movement.

Listening to this music and looking at the red fire, they couldn't help but picture the appearance of their new home in their minds.

The hardship of having to start everything over again did not make them feel depressed. Instead, the blueprint drawn by Qiao Ran made them more confident and have better expectations for this new home that would be more livable in the future.

Compared with the barren mountain village before, that barren land that could not grow much food no matter how hard it was cultivated, they still felt reluctant and nostalgic.

However, compared to this valley with fertile land, this large area of ​​​​10-mile mountain forest that they can dispose of at will is undoubtedly a huge cornucopia.

As long as they can obey Qiao Ran's arrangements, under her leadership, they will surely be able to turn this fertile land into a blessed place with abundant food harvests and fragrant fruits.

The fire in the surrounding circle grew stronger and stronger, spreading rapidly along the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and soon formed a large area outside the circle, and gradually spread to the middle of the circle.

There are many poisonous mosquitoes in the miasma forest. Qiao Ran told everyone yesterday to prepare some thick cloth to cover their faces today.

So yesterday the women found rags from home and sewed and mended them to make curtain hats for the men and young men.

Today everyone wraps their heads and faces with cloth strips, leaving only their noses, eyes and mouths exposed.

Then a curtain hat is put on the head, and a circle of transparent gauze hangs from the hat, and the lower end is tied around the neck. The gauze covers the eyes, nose, and mouth, which not only protects oneself, but also prevents one from being completely invisible.

Their trousers and boots were tightly wrapped with strips of cloth, they wore gloves on their hands, and their cuffs were tied tightly to ensure that all kinds of mosquitoes were kept out.

This heavily armed look reminded Qiao Ran of the way everyone was on alert at certain special moments in her previous life.

The people responsible for guarding the isolation belt are all men in the village and teenagers.

After Qiao Ran lit the fire, everyone urged her to go back.

They are here to protect us. Qiao Ran is a girl. She doesn't have to work so hard. She can go back and have a good rest.

Qiao Ran didn't show any restraint. She climbed to the mountainside and looked into Devil's Valley.

When the fire gradually burned into the miasma forest in the middle, those poisonous mosquitoes that like to live in the moist soil and on the tree trunks made a commotion and rushed out of the forest.

However, Qiao Ran had poured so much oil on that forest. The oil helped the fire. The fire burned more fiercely than other places. Suddenly, a large tongue of flames rolled up with a "boom", and most of the flames that had not yet rushed over the forest were swept away. All the mosquitoes were burned to ashes.

The mosquitoes that were lucky enough to fly above the woods were scorched by the thick smoke and the heat wave that surged around them, causing them to fall to the ground. They fell into the fire and were quickly burned to the ground.
