Jiang Xue left the mess to Mu Feng and didn't ask about it anymore.
After eating two bowls of porridge, she felt full of energy and at least she didn't feel so weak when walking.
"Excuse me."
Jiang Xue knew that if she didn't take the lead, they wouldn't do the ramie cutting, and it was useless to have so many people gathered here.
She walked over and said to everyone, "Everyone, come with me to harvest ramie this afternoon."
After saying that, she came out of the kitchen, carrying a backpack and holding a short knife, and led the way towards the ramie field.
Mu Feng was immediately displeased when he saw her getting out of bed again just after waking up. He didn't care that the fat elder was still kneeling on the ground, and ran over to take the things in her hand: "Axue, I'll go with you."
Jiang Xue disagreed.
"You have to take care of things here. Leave the work in the fields to me. Don't worry, if I can't handle it anymore, I'll just rest in the fields."
How to deal with the two of them must be decided by the clan leader. As for the outcome, whether to stay or leave, she will just accept it with pleasure.
The ramie field is next to the corn field. It is very large, the largest piece of land used for growing crops, about five acres.
With so much ramie, naturally the whole tribe has to work together to collect it. If it depends on just one or two people, how long will it take?
Jiang Xue was still thinking about weaving the linen as soon as possible.
The loom is still gathering dust in the cave in the valley, it's time to put it to use.
Jiang Xue and the others spent an entire afternoon clearing all the ramie in the field.
Everyone in the Snake Tribe knew what happened next.
Jiang Xue returned to her room with a tired body, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
It was not until the next day that Mu Feng came to tell her about the outcome of the treatment of the Fat Elder.
They finally kept him, but his status as an elder was stripped away.
Jiang Xue was not surprised at this result at all.
"Okay, I understand. Please arrange for someone to finish what I said yesterday. I don't want to move today."
This morning, the tribesmen had two extra boiled eggs for breakfast.
This was specially arranged by Jiang Xue yesterday.
The chicken coop in the tribe has been expanded, and there are fresh eggs every day. The weather is hot, and the eggs cannot be kept for a long time. They are not wasted unless they are eaten or hatched.
Mu Feng responded and left quickly.
Jiang Xue ate a boiled egg and sat on the bed with nothing to do. She picked up the "Compendium of Formations" and just turned a page when Elder Akagi came to find her.
"Snow Witch, have you seen the late rice we planted?"
"I checked it all yesterday and it was all good."
Akagi was relieved. "You should be looking at the field close to the trench. The field far from the trench has all turned yellow. Do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Xue put on her straw sandals and walked out.
Why didn’t she think of checking the paddy fields farther away yesterday?
When she walked to the field and took a look, her heart suddenly sank.
The rice leaves in this field were curled up, their tips a burnt yellow, and even a few in the middle had turned completely yellow.
The soil in the ground also cracked, which was obviously caused by lack of water.
"Why don't you release the water?"
"There's been a drought recently, and the water in the river has decreased a lot,"
Oh, is there such a thing?
Jiang Xue rushed to the valley without stopping to take a look.
The ditch she had dug when she first crossed over was no longer full of water. Walking along the ditch towards the river, she found that the water level in the river had also dropped a lot. The ditch she had dug before was higher than the water level, so she asked why no water was flowing down.
"Gather all the tribesmen, we need to widen this ditch."
She did it alone at first, and she had no tools, so she could only use a wooden stick.
Start from the riverside, dig a little and then stop, and continue after the river water soaks the soil.
It took her two or three days to dig such a short ditch.
Akagi left immediately, and Jiang Xue stared at the river worriedly.
Why is it so dry today that even the water level of this river has dropped by more than half a meter?
Akagi quickly came over with his men, "Snow Witch, what should we do?"
Jiang Xue pointed at the ditch and said, "Start digging here. This ditch needs to be at least an arm's width and half a person's depth to divert the water."
We need to dig ditches here by the river, and the ditches on the other side of the crops cannot be left idle either.
"Leave half of you here to dig, and the others follow me."
The ditch on this side can be dug directly, but the ditch on the other side of the land needs to be planned again.
How long and wide should the dig be? Where will the water flow in the end? We also have to take into account the water usage in the land, and it must not hinder the passage of wheelbarrows... These are all things that need to be considered.
Fortunately, there is not much land at present, and most of the land is vacant. Modifying the water network now will not pose too much threat to the crops.
Finally, Jiang Xue walked along the land and found a low-lying area far away from the land. Her eyes lit up when she saw it.
This place can be transformed into a pond.
Then we can divert the river water here and plant lotus roots. Then we won’t have to run so far when we want to eat lotus roots.
Once the ditch issue was settled, everyone rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
The trenches dug before have become a useless product that is a pity to throw away but tasteless to eat.
The thorn wall can also be removed.
Jiang Xue explained these ideas to the tribesmen one by one, and the tribesmen rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
It took five full days to dig the low-lying area into a pond.
The excavated soil cannot be wasted and can be used to make bricks and tiles.
