Please abide by the Basic Law

After learning about the bold and unconstrained planting methods of Ebo farmers, Cecil deliberately popularized some intensive cultivation—in fact, it is not really counted. After all, he himself has never really worked in the fields and suffered hardships. He grew garlic and vegetables in farmhouses and Northeast B&Bs. However, even so, his planting experience is better than the "professional" farmers here. I have to say that the Chinese seem to have a hidden talent in planting, which gradually becomes natural as they grow older. develop.

Divide the ridges, dig drainage ditches, and plant the wheat seeds at certain intervals, not too scattered. If there is not enough time, sow the seeds but keep them vertical, and then fertilize. Ebo has also built public toilets and compost ponds, which are convenient in terms of distance. too much.Water every day before the rainy season. If you can’t do it, try your best. It’s best to ensure that every place is watered, don’t miss it.

Cecil recalled only so much, and he felt that there was nothing wrong or missing. Unfortunately, the scene in front of him still broke him down.

After several months of growth, the wheat seeds have already emerged. However, these seedlings were planted in the ditch - the drainage ditch!

During the heavy rain, the gutters were full of water and the ridges were bare.Since the overall terrain of Ebo is a gentle basin with no absolute level, the accumulated water is still flowing. Occasionally, green seedlings will be exposed, but most of the green seedlings are still submerged.

They planted wheat seedlings. Cecil told the farmers to dig the trenches deeper, but now he has completely deceived himself.

Why should the seedlings be planted in the gutter! !

Cecil covered his eyes during the heavy rain, not wanting to look at the picture in front of him. He didn't even want to ask the farmers why they did this. It was obviously some kind of misunderstanding. If there was a chance to make up for it before it rained, this day What to do in case of heavy rain!

The drainage ditch is used to maintain air circulation for the root system of the plant, and also to prevent the rise of underground alkaline water and fertilize. Some fertilizers cannot be poured directly on the plant, but must be applied at a certain distance from the root system. At the same time, it can also be used to drain water and prevent waterlogging.

The groundhog screams in the loop.

No matter how he shouted in his heart, Cecil still looked calm on the outside, staring at the submerged young crops expressionlessly.This period of time is too busy, and it is not the first time to plant wheat. The Ebo people have experience. He thinks that with his little advanced experience, he will probably have a good harvest this year, so he does not make frequent inspections. Now it seems that this year It would be nice to be able to granulate.

"Master City Lord." The farmer bowed and shouted in the heavy rain, "The water is too big, it can't go on like this!"

Cecil took a deep breath and almost didn't choke his nose. After spitting out the water column, he tried his best to be calm and authentic: "You...why did you plant the wheat seedlings in the gutter?" He really planned not to ask, but he couldn't help but open mouth.

"Because it's a drainage ditch. Wouldn't it be convenient to water it if it was planted there? The water goes there." The farmer replied.

You are right.

Cecil wiped the water from his face, probably mixed with his inner tears, and said loudly: "Dig holes between the fields, dig in the direction of the low ground, dig the ridges of the fields, and let the water drain out as much as possible. "

Cecil hid in a room and immediately pulled out the parchment. Since the roof collapsed, he decided to take the parchment and the small book with him. Ordinary clothes would have a small leather pouch around his waist, which could Pack some things, there is no concept of pockets here, after all, a naked person like Dali can find things from nowhere.

How are you communicating?

Cecil stared at the sheepskin curl for a while, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind. After a while, two words popped out on the sheepskin scroll: 【Holy Temple. 】

Fuck, how did you get to the temple?

I want to contact Langdon, I want to contact Langdon, I want to contact Langdon...

After repeating this in his mind repeatedly, a line of words appeared on the parchment: [I will transfer you to Langdon. 】

The parchment was silent for a moment, and two words appeared: 【This is Langdon. 】

Cecil was very depressed immediately, how did he find Langdon after going around?Doesn't everything have to be resolved by yourself?

Frustrated for a while, he still sent the following spineless message: [Can you hurry to Ebo? 】

[Cecile?I'll be there soon. 】

When Langdon came over, his whole body wasn't wet at all, and he didn't know how to do it. After hearing the whole story, his brows were tightly frowned: "I don't know how to farm. Can we save the impact of the rainy season if we rescue it now?"

"There may be some impact, but it's better than no harvest." Cecil sighed, "These seeds are magically strengthened, and they are probably particularly resistant to drought. I don't know if they are resistant to floods, but I asked the farmer Yes, the rain in previous years is so heavy, so as long as the seedlings are not soaked all the time, I guess I can still save a lot."

Langdon asked in a subtle manner, "Are you seeking magical help?"

Although very reluctant, Cecil still had to answer: "...Yes."

"What effect do you want specifically?"

"Is there a way to drain all the ditches so they don't get back in?"

"Yes, it's too expensive, it's not worth it, and we have no one here, so we have to hire someone else."

"Is there a way to move the seedlings to the ridge?"

"Same as the last method."

"Is there a way to get something on top of the field to keep out the rain?"

"With such a large area, you can only invite the Highgarden elves if you keep the whole rainy season."

"need more……"

"You can't afford it."

The cold words instantly reminded Cecil of the "little sisters" who were selling tea on WeChat. He spat out the rainwater in his mouth and said, "There is only one way left. Is there any way to stop the water that is dripping down?" ?”

Ebo is a basin. The artificial lake is located on a relatively high terrain at the edge of the basin, and next to the slightly lower terrain is the farmland. It was designed in consideration of the future demand for agricultural water, so that water can be easily diverted from high places into the fields.Now, there is nothing to do with the water falling from the sky. We can only wait for them to flow slowly along the drainage ditch to the White Tower. little pressure.

"If you want to erect a wall and keep it going throughout the rainy season, I'm afraid it will cost a lot." Langdon looked around for a moment, and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? If there is no food, we can rely on the seafood and commerce of the Sirin people." With income to buy grain, old grain is not particularly expensive, and you can go to the mountains to find food.”

Cecil was silent for a while, and said suspiciously: "Aren't you willing to save the farmland?"

"I just don't think it's worth it." Langdon's voice didn't fluctuate at all, "We don't care about their food for the Serin people. We can't find any faults in morality. They will figure out their own way. As long as the bricks are burned, they are basically the same We divided and ruled. Ebo people, as long as there is a small part of the wheat harvest, it will be fine, not to mention the things left by Ebo can last for a while. After all, the population of Ebo has decreased a lot, but hundreds of people are not counted. What."

For a moment, Cecil felt that Langdon in front of him was a little strange. The logic behind these words could not be thought through deeply. The more he thought about it, the more awkward he felt. For example, if a city with tens of thousands of people was built, what would the people of Serling eat during this time?The god of civilization will not always send food, especially when the Sirin may not be able to start the ocean business for a period of time, most of their ships were destroyed when the "floating wall" was destroyed, which happened to be winter During the fishing break, only a small number of them are still going to the sea, fishing while looking for opportunities to make money, and the first batch of harvest has not been delivered yet.

"Then I'll do it myself." Cecil said, "I can't erect a wall, but I can dig a ditch, as long as the dripping water bypasses the fields. Do your best to obey the destiny, the point is not to obey the destiny but to do your best. .”

Langdon was about to say something, but Cecil had already turned and ran to the farmers who had been waiting.

These fields legally belonged to the city owner. The farmer system established by the original Bills was accompanied by heavy taxes, while the working farmers did not have income. If they worked all year round, they would not starve to death.Ebo is not an agricultural country but does not import food. It is conceivable how poor the lives of ordinary people are.

Cecil didn't hand over all the grain to the farmers immediately because he couldn't. He needed food to supply the huge manpower growth. Eating is the most basic need of human beings. Therefore, he still adopted the distribution system, and then switched to the self-owned land system when the situation improved in the future.However, he still set the conditions for the farmers to own 10% of the harvest, which is why the farmers are still willing to come out to inspect the fields after the rainy season.

"30% of the income belongs to you, and the condition is to dig the pit with me." Cecil had to growl in the rain to get his voice out, "We need to dig four straight ditches along the slope, with a depth of at least one meter. The deeper the better, don't dig too wide to prevent the water from overflowing the ditch, and it's better to have a narrow top and a wide bottom! Take a shovel!"

After the artificial lake was excavated, the shovels were lent to the farmers free of charge, including plow trucks, a sufficient number of cattle, and hammers, which immediately raised the cultivation level of Ebo to the level of the feudal era. Farmers can buy these things with grain or ordinary money in the future. ,Very cheap.

Hearing the call, the farmers moved quickly. These muscular dark men—including many girls, who were the same height, width, and full of strength—took up their shovels and ran to the highest position in the farmland.They were all surprised when, shortly after, Cecil took up the shovel and joined in the trench digging.

Cecil doesn't mind a scene where "the leader came to the scene and tears filled the eyes of the grassroots". He is just a layman, and he is really not noble enough. Who is looking?Does it make any sense?

"Dig! Don't talk!" Cecil spit out water every time he said a word, like a goldfish, "for food!"

"For food!" The roar sounded sporadically but continued.

Digging a hole in a heavy rain is not a human job at all. Regardless of people's feelings, once the hole is dug out, the water will flow in immediately. Soon, the penetration of the land will not be able to keep up with the speed of the rain, forming a pool of water. At this time, Either dig to the side or dig blindly, don't even think about shoveling out the water, it's impossible.

Cecil's eyes couldn't be opened due to the rain. To be honest, he didn't know if this would be possible. He was really impulsive, but he couldn't think of anything else.He went down with shovel after shovel, and he didn't know how long it took. His whole body was sore, his joints were stiff, and he was digging almost mechanically. When he finally couldn't bear it and raised his head, he was surprised to find that there were more people around him.

During the torrential rain, tall and fit young men flashed by from time to time, their wet clothes stuck to their bodies to outline beautiful muscle lines, no one shouted, and people took turns from time to time to replace the panting "comrades".

It's the Gay Knights.

He took Cecil's shovel with one hand. He turned his head and saw Russell's wet baby face. He has always paid attention to his image, and his clothes are always meticulous. Even the belt is absolutely tied horizontally. Sometimes he doubts Russell has OCD.

"What are you doing? You can still dig?" Russell asked suspiciously, "Take a break, you won't be able to continue if you collapse a lot."

As soon as Cecil stood up, he felt the clamor of muscle pain. He climbed out of the ditch stiffly, and saw people coming to join the ranks of digging the pit. The rain was hazy, and the range of his vision was full of moving figures. .

This should have been a touching scene... If you don't look at the girls screaming and cheering around the gay knights, not only the Ebo girl, but also the Serling girl joined in, no matter which side the girls turn a blind eye to the rainstorm, They kept screaming at the knights they liked, and some even threw their headscarves, and the water-absorbed sackcloth was thrown at the crowd like a whip, scaring the knights into a frenzy. Under the pressure of O'Casey , They neither dared to stop this behavior nor dared to speak, let alone look at the girls, so they had to dig a ditch.

As a result of this move, the men of Serling and Ebo unconvinced and spontaneously participated in the trench digging operation.

Cecil saw with his own eyes a dark man with a beard snatched the shovel from the knight of the "little boy" and started digging a ditch with a yell, splashing the dirt. Mud splashed all over his body, eyes full of bewilderment.

I like this scene, Cecil thought.

This is the time to rush for work, Cecil took a break for a while and replaced Russell. He didn't know how many people were digging ditches, but when he was too tired to "get off the assembly line", the figures in the rain were still pouring in endlessly .

The trench digging project lasted for three days in the rainy season, mobilized more than [-] people, and there was heavy rain for three days.

On the fourth day, Cecil woke up from a noble mansion in Ebo. For the first time, there was no sound of rain falling in his ears. He ran out and saw the sky was full of dark clouds. Before he could think about it, he went to the farmland. While running, I saw the colorful thing before reaching the ground.

Gundam?

Running to the front with doubts, Cecil found that it was the wreckage of Gundam. This thing is too big, even the weapons of gay knights are difficult to divide, so he simply discarded it and made a large landmark to divide it later.Right now, Gundam's upper body is stuck in a drainage ditch branch, which just blocks the rushing water flow and makes the water flow bypass the farmland.

Cecil remembered this place. Due to the rapid flow of water, part of the soil was wrapped up and turned into a small mudslide, which destroyed part of the farmland. The knights took turns using magic to temporarily block it. This was all due to Cecil's initiation. Soil erosion caused by digging artificial lakes.

The front of the Gundam was completely covered with mud, forming a huge mud wall.

Looking around, the accumulated water in the farmland drainage ditch has dropped significantly, and the young crops are exposed. They look quite energetic, and they don’t look sluggish after soaking in water for three days. Chatting on the ground, with the relief of the rest of his life on his face.

Cecil asked curiously: "Who dragged Gao... this thing over?"

The farmer looked over: "Good morning, my lord, have you not used the translation magic yet?"

ah uh...

Cecil pointed to Gundam.

"Oh, do you want to ask about this magic puppet?" A farmer said with a smile, "A big cat dragged it here, but it was in time, otherwise the mudslide would have been terrible, but that cat is really big!"

big cat?

Cecil suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Langdon in the past three days, so he asked a knight for an interpreter magic, and asked around, until he saw Russell sitting by the ditch in a mess, and finally got a not-so-sexy Yang's reply: "Do you still remember Teacher?"

Cecil:? ? ?

Russell smiled and said, "Don't you care about your fields?"

Cecil: "Tian is done caring, it's all right."

Russell: "..."

Cecil said impatiently, "Do you really know? If I don't know, I'll ask someone else."

Russell pointed in a direction angrily, and Cecil ran along, quite proud of himself: Pretending to be aggressive with me?Whoops, demo!

After Cecil had run away, Oakes slowly poked his head out of the ditch, and said rather resentfully, "What are you talking about for Langdon?"

"After all, he's a teacher." Russell turned around, smiled and kissed his lover's muddy cheek, "Cecil, boy, if you give him some sunshine, you will be lawless."

Oakes snorted, and muttered, "I think he's very clear in his heart, he's pretending."

"Who knows." Russell stretched his waist. "I'm exhausted. I heard that it will rain. Let's go back and rest today. We may have to dig ditches later."

"This guy Cecil is troublesome. He does one thing and another. He eats magic food when there is no food. Why do you care so much about the Ebo people? Do you really think he is the lord of the city? When he goes to the garden party, he will definitely suffer. Seriously. Guy who doesn't know reality..." The couple talked and chatted, and walked away slowly.

When Cecil found Langdon, the latter was sleeping on a grassland outside the city, not in the shape of a human, but in the shape of a cat.

After the "nourishing" of the torrential rain-it is really difficult to identify the three-day torrential rain as "moisturizing", and the test is almost the same-the originally withered and yellow grassland grew a lot of green in an instant, sprouting and long ears at an amazing speed , In three days, I did not exceed the height of the instep.

The big cat with dark blue fur is curled up in a ball, with its head resting on its paws, squinting its eyes and making a cat-specific purring sound, and its fluffy tail wraps around its abdomen. If you look carefully, you will find that the hair on the big cat's abdomen is still wet.

Seeing this scene, and thinking about Langdon dragging Gundam all the way here, the dissatisfaction and suspicion in Cecil's heart disappeared in an instant, and he stopped after running a few steps, hesitating and not knowing what to say. what's good.

The purring stopped suddenly, and the big cat slowly opened its eyes, its blue pupils completely covering Cecil's vision.

"Cecil Knight Commander," Langdon said.

Cecil suddenly felt aggrieved: Where did that "dear" go?Stop talking?Well, let me tell you!

"Dear, dear... er, dear..."

The big cat stood up slowly, stretched its limbs and stretched its waist. Like an ordinary cat, its soft body was elegant and beautiful, and it walked a few steps silently.

"Honey……!"

Cecil choked back on the last words, Langdon turned around suddenly, his huge head lowered, and his cold nose lightly touched his face.

"Aren't you sick?" Langdon asked. "Have you been to see Rubens?"

"No... I'm fine!" Cecil choked, "I'm just, uh..."

Fuck, why is it so difficult!There's nothing wrong with talking to your girlfriend!

Thinking about it carefully, I used to be very calm when I made girlfriends. People said that I didn’t have the excitement of first love or worries about gains and losses. Cecil has always adhered to "It should be mine that can’t escape, and it shouldn’t be that I can’t snatch it." Thinking about it now, Simply do not love it.

Because I didn't love it, I didn't care -- it wouldn't work at all with Langdon.

"I have to apologize to you." Cecil couldn't utter that title, so he changed the subject bravely, "I shouldn't be angry with you, the rainstorm wasn't your fault, I can't get mad at you myself. , You said this...hehe, what..." He couldn't continue, the huge cat's head hovered motionless in front of his eyes, and he could even see the strange patterns in the cat's pupils.

After a suffocating silence, Langdon's deep voice said, "Are you angry with me?"

Cecil: "..."

Langdon: "Why?"

Cecil: "..."

What does it mean to shoot yourself in the foot?

This is.

The cat's ears moved, bringing a little dizzying halo change.

Cecil cleared his throat dryly: "I...then what, what are you doing here? Why is it in cat form?"

"I'm going to drag the rest of the Gundam back. Anyway, it's already showing its original shape, and I'll change back after I'm done." After Langdon turned into a cat, his voice had a wonderful change, and it would be slightly longer. As if waking up, "I'll take a rest and I'll go, is there anything else?"

"It's all right." Cecil lowered his head, looked at the huge round cat's paw stepping on the grass, and wanted to pinch it, "You...then what, pay attention to your body."

"I'm fine, dear Cecil."

Cecil raised his head suddenly and was licked by a warm pink tongue. He could feel the hard tongue barbs. At this moment, these barbs were lying flat and docile, not on his skin Leave a little mark on it.

"Dear, dear, dear..."

Cecil failed to squeeze out, and Langdon had already briskly ran away, the thick fur still covering the important parts tightly.

Cecil sat on the prairie doubting life for a while.

Well, the farmland is saved at last, Cecil thought, later on, and one day it will be natural to say: Dear Langdon.
