However, the food was not given for free. When the food was delivered, the people of Qingshan City made it clear that after the rain stopped and the water receded, they would have to work for Qingshan City to repay their debt.
After the water level receded completely, Xuan took Meng Yuqing out of Qingshan City and ran directly towards the planting area.
He heard Rong Lin's voice from a distance, "There's the most water near that piece of land. Take a few people and check there first."
"Hurry up and pick up the rice plants that have fallen over because of the rain. See if they can still survive. They're almost ready for harvest. Any more we can save is better."
In the planting area, apart from Meng Yuqing, Rong Lin's words are the most effective. Even when summer comes, the planting area has to listen to Rong Lin's orders.
Xuan brought Meng Yuqing over. Xia and Qiuye were already busy working in the fields, and Xing was also brought out by them.
But he was not asked to help with the work. Instead, he was allowed to play nearby by himself, as long as he did not damage the crops.
Xing was also very obedient and didn't go around causing trouble.
Instead... he jumped into a mud puddle and rolled around when Qiuye and Xia were busy working and didn't notice him.
Meng Yuqing was stunned. He couldn't help but poke Xuan on the back and said, "Look at your brother."
"What's wrong?" Xuan looked in the direction he pointed.
Then Meng Yuqing saw Xuan clench his fists instantly. He quickly pulled Xuan back and said, "Calm down, he's still young and can't withstand a beating from you. It's normal for children to play in the mud. I also did that when I was a kid..."
"What?" Xuan turned and looked at Meng Yuqing.
Meng Yuqing shook her head and waved her hands, "Nothing, nothing, I was fine when I was a kid."
"Let me guess?" Xuan was not going to let Meng Yuqing go and continued, "Do you like playing in the mud too?"
Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan seriously and said, "How can making handicrafts be considered playing with mud?"
He didn't fall into a mud puddle while playing in the mud, and his mother didn't catch him, clean him up, and beat him up.
"Then what does it mean to play in the mud?" Xuan continued to ask.
Meng Yuqing pointed towards Xing with a serious expression and said, "Look, your brother is actually playing in the mud in his animal form. When the mud dries, his fur will all get tangled. This kid is in big trouble."
Xuan looked at him and directly directed the blame to Xing and smiled. He stopped asking questions and walked towards Xing.
When Xing saw Xuan coming, he immediately stopped rolling and ran in the opposite direction.
Xuan directly grabbed Fate's neck.
He let out a shrill cry, as if Xuan had done something to him.
The body was struggling wildly, the limbs were dancing, and the tail was swinging.
The mud that had not yet dried on his body flew everywhere. Meng Yuqing quickly took a few steps back to prevent the mud from flying onto himself.
He dodged it, but Xuan, who was holding Xing, was thrown straight at him.
Their movements attracted the attention of the people around them, and Xia and Qiuye turned their heads at the same time.
What caught my eye was the little cub covered in mud being held by the older cub by the scruff of the neck, and the older cub was splashed with mud.
Qiu Ye got angry when he saw this scene. Xuan didn't like playing in the mud since he was a child, so he rarely had to worry about it. He was the cleanest one among the little orcs of the same age. But Xing was different. Ever since he could run around in the tribe, he had been digging into mud pits.
He couldn't remember how many times he had washed the Star Beast form. If Xia hadn't stopped him, he would have taken a pair of scissors and wanted to cut off all of Xing's fur several times.
Seeing Qiu Ye rolling up his sleeves and wanting to go over, Xia quickly pulled him back and said, "Don't go over there, don't go over there. That kid is so dirty, don't get yourself dirty too. Xuan has already caught him, let Xuan deal with him."
"Just like when you were a kid, so annoying." Qiu Ye turned around and kicked Xia.
"It's different. I didn't play with mud when I was a kid." Xia hugged Qiuye and shook his head frantically.
"You throw mud on others, causing them to get beaten up, and you even threw mud on me. I shouldn't have played with you when I was a kid." Qiu Ye glanced at Xia.
Meng Yuqing listened to Qiu Ye and Xia's gossip with her ears perked up while looking at Xuan Hexing.
Xing realized that she couldn't run away, so she stopped struggling and started to act coquettishly towards Xuan, trying to rub against him. As a result, Xuan pulled her farther away and then shook her hard.
Xing could only look at Xuan pitifully with his paws and tail tucked in.
Lie was very considerate and fetched a bucket of clean water, so Xuan washed his younger brother before working.
After washing Xing thoroughly, Meng Yuqing quickly took out a cloth and a comb to dry and comb Xing's hair.
Just when he thought everything was over, he suddenly heard Xing's cry.
I saw that Xing had turned into a human form and was being beaten by Xuan on his knees.
It looks so pitiful.
But when he thought about the process of washing him with Xuan just now, Meng Yuqing felt that he deserved the beating.
He finally understood why his mother was so angry after she cleaned him up.
After rescuing all the food from the fields, Qingshan City began to assign tasks to those who were rescued.
First of all, they were responsible for the preliminary processing of the stem-leaf trees after they were collected, which basically included peeling the bark, removing hard parts, soaking, and drying them.
After they complete these steps, they will be transported back to Qingshan City for the sub-beasts in Qingshan City to carry out subsequent processing.
The troublesome things were outsourced, and some people became idle, but how could the devil Meng Yuqing let them just sit there idle?
The day after the stalk-leaf trees were transported, Meng Yuqing obtained the blueprint for the spinning wheel. He took the blueprint to Xuan and handed it to him. "This year, we have a lot of cotton left over from making cotton-padded clothes and quilts. We can spin it into cotton yarn and use it to make cotton cloth. Clothes made of cotton cloth are very comfortable to wear next to the skin, especially..."
