Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

As the sun gradually brightened, Lin Ze and Lin Xiaohu finished their warm-up.

thump.

…thump.

The lake water was a little cold in the morning. Both of them took off their clothes except for their shorts and jumped into the water without any order.

…Crash.

Lin Xiaohu was the first to emerge from the water and swam towards the center of the lake.

Lin Ze didn't show up for a long time. When Lin Xiaohu looked back, he was very nervous.

"Uncle Ze, could it be that he can't swim?"

Lin Xiaohu swam back quickly, shouting loudly as he swam, "Uncle Ze, Uncle Ze?"

Just when Lin Xiaohu was about to cry in anxiety, Lin Ze popped up from far ahead of Lin Xiaohu.

It turned out that Lin Ze had dived over there, and during the diving process, he collected two big fish and three big crabs into the space.

"Xiao Hu, come here quickly."

Lin Ze greeted with a smile, "Cry for a while longer, and I will swim to the center of the lake."

"Uncle Ze, you're scaring me to death."

Lin Xiaohu had never seen such a scene before. He could dive, but only in shallow water and could not hold his breath for even a short while.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Lin Xiaohu swimming towards him, Lin Ze did not stop. He kept changing his backstroke, butterfly stroke, breaststroke, kicking, etc., and soon swam to the center of the lake.

Lin Xiaohu was stunned. He thought he was the leader of the swimming world in Linjia Village and had never seen so many fancy swimming postures.

Lin Xiaohu and Lin Ze agreed that whoever reached the center of the lake would win, and after winning they would have to swim back.

After all, the other side of the big lake in Linjia Village is close to Nanshan and Beishan.

Lin Ze's goal was obviously not to play with Lin Xiaohu in the lake. He quickly passed the center of the lake and swam towards the other side.

He wanted to swim to Beishan on the other side of the lake.

Lin Xiaohu didn't understand what was going on. He swam to the center of the lake, splashed water with his hands, waved frantically and shouted, "Uncle Ze, Uncle Ze! Come back soon!"

At this time, the lakeside was already full of children, including Lin Wen and Lin Wu.

They couldn't hear what Lin Xiaohu in the center of the lake was shouting. All the children were shouting, "Come on, come on, come on!"

"come on?"

Lin Xiaohu heard the sound from the shore, and he swam towards Lin Ze in a hurry.

Lin Ze quickly climbed up to the shore of Nanshan Mountain. The land here was moist, and reeds grew everywhere, forming a large swamp. Various birds lived in the reeds.

Lin Ze looked up and saw Lin Xiaohu was about to swim over, so he quickly walked towards the shore.

His most important task today was to bury the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the mud and then dig them out.

During the three years of severe drought, the crops in the fields were entirely dependent on the people carrying water for irrigation. Although Linjia Village was backed by three large mountains and had a large lake in the hinterland, people still lived a life of eating coarse food and eating vegetables.

This is not just a natural disaster that can be simply summarized.

Lin Changgui is the only old man in the village. Even the village chief Lin Fuqiang has to call Lin Changgui "uncle" and Lin Ze "little brother".

Lin Ze decided to do something for Linjia Village, even if it was just taking out 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space.

In any case, in the absence of fertilizer, the crops in the space will still mature once a day.

This is why Lin Ze came into being. He agreed to Lin Xiaohu's invitation to a swimming competition and swam all the way from the village. Lin Ze caught more than thirty big fish in the space.

There are twenty kilograms of crabs and shrimps each. I don’t know why the villagers don’t eat fish instead of living in the water and watching these delicacies go to waste.

"Uncle Ze?" Lin Xiaohu's voice rang out beside the reed marsh.

Lin Ze had already buried the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and was stringing the fish he had caught into long strings with straw ropes.

"Xiaohu, come here quickly."

Lin Ze called out, "Come and see what your uncle found!"

Lin Xiaohu walked around the reed marsh, his eyes wide open in shock, "Uncle, you are my god, how did you catch so many big fish?"

More than thirty large fish were thrown into a row and lying alone on the muddy ground.

Lin Ze dug out a one-pound sweet potato from the muddy swamp with his bare hands.

"Uncle Ze, what are you holding?"

Lin Ze handed the sweet potato to Lin Xiaohu and said, "Take it to the lake and wash it. Once it's clean, take a bite and you'll know."

The sweet potatoes produced from the black soil of Linze Space are very sweet. Lin Xiaohu's eyes widened as soon as he took a small bite.

With this, who would still want to eat wild vegetables or chew tree bark? !

"Uncle Ze, is there a lot of this stuff in the soil?"

Lin Ze nodded, then shook his head, "Not many, and more than one variety. The other one is not sweet, but it's edible."

Fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes are simply not enough to meet the needs of a village.

But just now, Lin Ze collected the mud from the swamp by the lake into the space.

[Organic fertilizer detected, 50 kilograms of swamp mud, whether to ripen. 】

Well, it turns out that swamp mud can also be used as organic fertilizer.

Then what else is there to say? It’s just a matter of ripening!

Lin Ze used all the 50 kilograms of organic fertilizer he collected to ripen 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Together with the 100 kilograms each of potatoes and sweet potatoes that were buried previously, this is definitely enough for the entire Linjia Village to eat for a long time if they save.

"Oh my God, Uncle Ze, there are so many foods, you are simply the lucky star of our Linjia Village!" Lin Xiaohu looked at Lin Ze with admiration, wishing he could bow down to him.

"Okay, Xiaohu, don't look at me like that. Swim back and find the village chief and the others to bring in the food. I'll stay here and catch some more fish."

Lin Xiaohu nodded heavily and swam back quickly.

It's not that he didn't want to walk on the shore, but most of the lake was surrounded by mountains, and it was even more difficult to walk on the mountain road to the shore.

Soon, all the adults, led by the village chief Lin Fuqiang, swam over.

"Zedi, Xiaohu said you found a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes, is that true?"

Lin Fuqiang, wearing only his shorts, swam over with a half-eaten sweet potato by Lin Xiaohu in his hand. He looked at Lin Ze with eyes shining.

But before I saw the sweet potatoes, I saw Lin Ze’s long string of big fish, each fish weighed at least two kilograms.

"Wow, so many old fish, it's like I've made a fortune!"

Lin Musheng and Lin Fuqiang rubbed their hands repeatedly, wishing they could lift Lin Ze up high to express their admiration and respect.

During the time that Lin Xiaohu was away, Lin Ze had used the space to bury the sweet potatoes and potatoes along with their vines in batches in the swamp.

After burying it, he used the space to dig out half of it, which made it appear more realistic.

Lin Musheng also looked at Lin Ze with shining eyes, "Xiao Ze, you are really the lucky star of our Linjia Village. We just drank big fathead fish soup yesterday, and you fished out some supplies today. Linjia Village is saved."

The adults nodded repeatedly, some calling Lin Ze "brother" and some calling him "uncle".

"Haha, this is also thanks to Xiaohu. If he hadn't invited me to swim, I wouldn't have found these foods."

The adults nodded repeatedly and praised Lin Xiaohu who was scratching his head.

But the knot in everyone's heart was hard to untie. Several people from other families in the village whispered to each other, "These old supplies, the fish were all caught by Lin Ze, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes were also discovered by him. How much can he give us? We probably won't get any benefit even if we work hard to transport them back."
