Chapter 40 The Canal is Completed

When Lin Yan woke up, there was no one at home.

It seems that Hua Hong left early. I wonder what her harvest will be like.

It's already seven o'clock, and the men digging the ditches are about to gather.

She ate two hard-boiled eggs and roasted some chestnuts. It didn't take long for the bonus to come back.

Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and Hua Hong and Ye Zi's laughter came from outside the door.

Just listening to the sound makes me feel happy, which should be a good thing.

Seeing Lin Yan in the yard, Huahong said happily: "Lin Yan, that pheasant is right when it crows. There are wild eggs everywhere, and people are there. Fortunately, my mother-in-law has sharp eyes and quick hands, and she picked up half a basket of eggs."

"

She placed the eggs in the basket in front of Lin Yan and let her see her results.

"Auntie, believe me now, everything I said is true."

"I believe it, I believe it. If we don't have to dig ditches, I will definitely pick more." The bonus is not over yet, "The juma in our field is growing well and is already very tall. When we harvest the juma, we will give it to you."

How many outfits can you make?"

Looking at the tattered clothes on her daughter's body, Hua Hong finally noticed it.

"Auntie, the clothes made by Cao Zhi look good. Once the twine is finished, let Cao Zhi make it for me."

Huahong smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, grandma's craftsmanship is not as good as Cao Zhi. I'm going to dig a ditch. You should be good at home alone, don't run around, and play with Ye Ya."

Lin Yan said, "Auntie, take me with you. I want to see how the water channel is doing."

I have been digging for seven or eight days, and I don’t know how it will go, so I am quite worried.

Huahong didn't think much and left with Lin Yan.

When they arrived, someone had already arrived, and they were all very happy to see Lin Yan.

Who doesn't know Lin Yan now? She has done too many things.

The section that the second group is solely responsible for has been dug and is now digging a pool with the first and third groups.

The water channel is undulating and winding according to the terrain, about half a meter deep and more than one meter wide. The pool will be much larger, planned to be one meter deep, covering an area of ​​about 30 square meters.

Half of the digging has been done and it will be completed in a few days.

Lin Yan once again lamented the hardships of manpower. It is not easy to do anything.

She found a stone and sat on it, watching the second group of people working hard. The linen clothes they were wearing were all in the style of short-sleeved shorts, and some were very worn.

Holding a sharp wooden thorn or stone in his hand, he dug out the black soil little by little, and then used a basket to transport the soil to the edge and pile it up into small mounds.

Fortunately, people have brute strength, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to dig ditches with such weak tools.

On August 8, the canal was dug, and many people went to the source to witness it.

Kurotsuchi personally dug through the section connected to the Sun River. A small opening connected the canal to the Sun River, and the river water poured in.

People followed the water flow and walked along the canal, watching the water overflowing through sections of the canal and pouring into the dug pool. When the water in the pool was full, it continued to flow down along the outlet.

After a day of this, the entire canal was connected, and the turbid black water gradually became clear as it flowed and settled.

A major project was completed. From this day on, there was a small water channel next to Sun City, named Drinking Water River, which made it easier for everyone to use water.

The Drinking Water River is only one mile away from Sun City, so you don’t have to walk that far to get water.

Next, each group built a trail leading to the drinking water river.

By the time everything was done, it was already August 15th. Hua Hong finally finished his work and had time to take Lin Yan with him personally.

The large water tank at home needs to be filled with water every day.

Seeing that grandma is busy every day with all kinds of little things, she never has any time to relax.

Lin Yan looked at his little arms and short legs again, and sighed. They were still growing too slowly and couldn't do anything.

"Aniang, are you going to the pheasant forest today?"

"Go on, we'll go after we feed the pikas. We're going to mow the grass and come back. These pikas are so delicious."

"Take me with you. I'll help grandma cut the grass."

Huahong agreed, "Okay, don't run around when you get outside. There are a lot of people going to the Pheasant Forest and the Pika Rabbit Field now. It seems safe, but you are still young, so you can't go alone."

"Auntie, I won't go alone." Lin Yan quickly assured her that there were many people in the wild and it seemed safe, but if something happened, her small body couldn't run away.

Although she wanted to die every day, it was better to die than to live. She didn't want to be swallowed by a ferocious beast, and she couldn't stand even thinking about it.

Huahong touched Lin Yan's head and praised: "You have been obedient and sensible since you were a child, which makes my mother worry less. Now that the conditions are good, you will definitely grow up and be strong, and become the most powerful person in the tribe in the future."

"Am I not powerful now? I am the smartest person in the tribe?" Lin Yan frowned, expressing dissatisfaction with Hua Hong's words.

Among a group of savages, she is the smartest. After all, not everyone can do this.

Huahong laughed: "You are amazing, you are the most amazing, my mother-in-law said it wrong. Now whoever mentions you, they all say you are the smartest, smarter than anyone else."

"Hehe, I will definitely be more powerful in the future." Lin Yan watched Hua Hong finish feeding the rats and rabbits, picked up the basket, and turned around to leave, "Mom, when are we going to look for the geese we mentioned that day?"

She has never forgotten the geese. It would be better if she could catch a few of them. In addition to being full of treasures, the geese are also very ferocious and can look after homes and homes.

"Really looking for them?" Huahong was startled. They were a group of geese, and they looked very ferocious. Who dared to provoke them? They all ran for their lives when they saw them.

"Of course I have to look for it, Aniang, don't you want to eat those goose eggs?"

"I want to eat it. But geese look fierce and are not easy to mess with." Although Huahong wanted to eat goose eggs, the fear of the herd was still there.

"We are collecting goose eggs, and we don't take the initiative to provoke the geese. Auntie, you see there are so many people collecting eggs in the pheasant forest, but there are no pheasants coming out. Maybe the geese are like this too."

Huahong was dubious, "Pheasants can fly and don't attack people. They fly away when there are too many people. Are geese really the same as pheasants?"

Lin Yan hesitated. The goose was very ferocious, and she wasn't sure.

While the two mothers were talking, they went to their own land and saw that the juma was growing happily, but the weeds inside were overgrown.

Weeds have never been removed from the cleared land, even if we take care of it every day.

When mowing pikas and rabbits, they pull out the weeds in the field and take them back, killing two birds with one stone.

"This weed grows too fast, and we can't get rid of it even if we pull it out every day." Huahong said as he pulled the weeds.

Lin Yan followed suit and pulled weeds, "Mommy, the newly opened land is like this. It's hard to get rid of the weeds. It will be better in a few years. I heard from Mrs. Mao yesterday that Mrs. Shui's house in Group 6 has also opened up land.

It’s such a big piece of land, isn’t it true?”

"It's true. There are a lot of people in Mrs. Shui's family. The whole family came together and opened a large piece of land. In that piece of land, they planted roe, as well as chestnuts and wild fruit trees transplanted from other places. There were a lot of them.

Everyone is envious and jealous. Then, many people followed suit to open up wasteland. Our land was opened early, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to grab land so close now. Now, all the land that can be opened up has been occupied by people.”

Speaking of this, Huahong felt very lucky that she had listened to her daughter and opened up wasteland early, so that this land could be found.
