Qiao Xin paid five pounds of wheat grains per person per day to hire half-grown boys from the tribe to help her wash the mud embryos.

Shubao and Linzhu pouted and squatted next to Qiao Xin, who was making tiles.

"Lord Qiao Xin, I can also wash the mud embryos."

"Me too."

"I can also make tiles."

"Me too."

As they talked, the eyes of the two little females were filled with tears.

Leopard Star took the mold that he had made immediately after looking at it and pressed it with his whole body, pressing out a piece of tile. He skillfully scraped off the excess mud and tilted his head to look at the two entangled men who were the same age as him. Looking at Lord Qiao Xin.

Shaking his head, he was still the smartest. He knew that Master Qiao Xin would not ask their little children to help, so he made a mold himself and started making tiles.

Qiao Xin looked helplessly at the two children surrounding her and glared at Leopard Star not far away, blaming this kid.

"He made the mold for Leopard Star himself. I didn't ask him to make the tiles."

Shu Bao seemed to have some understanding in his eyes, so he pulled Lin Zhu and ran away.

"Master Qiao Xin has not promised us yet."

"Go back and ask my mother to help make a mold."

Lynx looked thoughtful, yes!

The two quickly went to the plain to find the rat forest where they were collecting.

With the help of the children, Qiao Xin and Lu Yao made much faster progress. They made the tiles needed for the two toilets in three days and waited for them to dry in the sun.

Qiao Xin and Lu Yao stopped making tiles, but the children's energy was still there, and they continued to play and do it until Xuli caught two live ducks and came back.

"Lord Qiao Xin, I caught a duck." Xuli's face was obviously scratched, but his expression was still very excited.

Xi Qing was equally excited, holding a nest made of hay in her arms, with four eggs in the nest.

Good guy, this is even the nest.

The pattern on the back of the mallard duck is twisted. They hunted it last year. The meat is firm and delicious. The male one has a crest and the smaller one has a flat head.

It is smaller than a pheasant, but its wings are more than one meter long when spread out, and it can weigh four to five kilograms when carried alone.

"Where are the materials? I'll collect them."

"No, I have piled the materials by the river." Xuli piled all the materials he had prepared on the river beach.

When the cubs heard this, they stopped holding tiles in their hands and all followed.

Qiao Xin did not enter the deep water area. The piranhas in the river are not vegetarians.

Qiao Xin used a pole to hit the shallow water area to drive away possible dangers. After confirming that there was no danger and that there were no piranha larvae, she rolled up her trouser legs and entered the water.

Knock arm-thick firewood into the water with a hammer, leaving wooden piles nearly one meter above the water. Leave about two fingers of space between each wooden pile to facilitate the entry and exit of small fish and shrimps, and to prevent ducks from swimming out. .

Xili also rolled up his trouser legs and came down to help.

Qiao Xin didn't randomly choose a place to build a fence. Instead, she found an area where there were no reeds, but there was a muddy beach. The water was shallow and there was organic matter in the mud. Small fish and shrimps liked this place the most. Very suitable for ducks to hunt for food.

Use wooden stakes to circle an area of ​​about 100 square meters, and cover it with a woven ivy net to prevent wild ducks from flying away.

Qiao Xin also cut off part of the feathers on the wild duck's wings.

Curious baby Leopard Star: "Ms. Qiao Xin, is this to prevent the wild ducks from flying away?"

Qiao Xin: "Yes."

After everything was done, Xuli put the two wild ducks in, and placed the hay nest in a patch of grass that was not exposed to water. He also specially placed some weeds around it to camouflage it.

As soon as the two wild ducks were put in, they started to flutter and try to escape, but no matter how they fluttered, they could not fly out and were covered by the net.

The ivy net was very strong. After swinging for a few times, it returned to its original shape.

Seeing that it worked immediately, Xi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face. From today on, their family will also have stored meat.

"Just cut some grass every day and bring it in for feeding. You can raise a lot in this area. You can catch some more and put it in when you have time. Of course, it can't be too much. Cutting grass will be too tiring."

Xu Qing thought to himself that he was not afraid of getting tired if he had meat to eat.

The cubs who watched the whole process were so envious that they pestered their parents to catch wild ducks when they got home.

Lang Yu was no exception, he kept moaning when he ran home.

Bai Ru caught him and beat him up, "You raise these five rabbits by yourself, ah - I cut the grass to feed you every day, so you go and cut it!" In fact, cutting grass is also a convenient thing after collecting it. , she just didn’t want to spoil her son.

"Ouch--" Help.

Bai Ru laughed angrily at him, and Lang Yu took advantage of the opportunity and ran away to Qiao Xin's house.

Qiao Xin cooks at home. She hasn't had a good hot meal in a few days. Today she fried some wild vegetables and ate them with polenta.

Lang Yu ran to her legs and kept yelling, accusing his mother, and even raised his butt to show Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin rolled him into a wolf cake, and he was satisfied.

"time to eat."

Qiao Xin touched his belly to make sure he hadn't eaten dinner, then filled a large bowl for him and put it on the floor.

Lang Yu groaned and started to cook, forgetting the fact that he was beaten to the point of moaning.

Qiao Xin smiled, he was such a good little guy who was not picky about food.

Bai Ru finished cooking but did not see her son come back. She must have gone to a clan member's house to get food again. She was used to it and set aside the portion for him as a midnight snack.

The day Qiao Xin got the purple-skinned soybeans, she used her powers to ripen a small part of the beans and planted them in the space. They were ripe tonight.

She harvested an acre of soybeans and planted wheat.

When he came out, he brought out a large bundle of withered soybean seedlings. He sat under the oil lamp and began to peel the beans.

There was a boom.

Qiao Xin heard a muffled thunder, and through the propped-up window, drizzle began to fall outside.

As time went by, the rain became heavier and heavier, and water tended to spread from the crack in the door.

She quickly put down the bean sprouts in her hands, put on the plastic sheet, and went to the city wall.

Looking down, the earth was dark, and all I could hear was the rustle of rain hitting everything. The water in the Piranha River in the distance was rising, but not very much.

The waterwheel by the river has already risen when the water is no longer needed. It is higher than the river surface and remains motionless.

Xiong Hui was in charge of today's watchtower night watch. When he saw Qiao Xin, he asked loudly: "Lord Qiao Xin, is there something wrong?"

"No, you're on duty!" Qiao Xin turned around and went back to the tribe. If she followed this method, the ground might be flooded.

Water had to be opened in the low-lying wheat fields, and she knocked on the door of several households that had no cubs to care for, asking them to bring their hoes and follow her to release water.

The patrol team saw this and quickly followed.

When more than a dozen people rushed to the field, the water had already covered the sprouting wheat seedlings.

"Speed ​​up, make a few holes in the field stems, and let the water in the field flow into the ditch." Qiao Xin said and demonstrated. After watching the others, they hurriedly ran towards the wheat field in the distance.

Race against the rain.

Qiao Xin led the male patrol team to the upper reaches of the canal and opened the opening connected to the dike.

Once it is opened, the full water will be poured into the river along the saliva.

As time went by, Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the significantly reduced water accumulation in the wheat fields.
