A few days later, the cows that Hu Yunxiao had asked someone to buy were delivered, and all the newly purchased wasteland at home was cleared. Hu Yunxiao almost never let Bai Chi go to the fields to work. At most, he asked him to hold an umbrella and talk to him by the field.
He was a real man who could even kill a tiger. Before buying the cow, he turned over the seven acres of dry land by himself and planted crops on it.
Two acres of wheat, in Hu Yunxiao's words, from now on, except for the grain tax, all the wheat will be kept at home and refined into flour for Bai Chi to eat.
Two acres of buckwheat. Buckwheat is the most commonly grown grain. It can be planted at any time of the year and the fields will never be left empty.
Before Hu Yunxiao planted these seeds, Bai Chi secretly soaked them all in plant gene modification liquid, which would increase the crop yield exponentially.
It can also increase the survival of crops.
Most importantly, it is harmless to the human body!
The result of tens of thousands of years of research in the interstellar world, it can be said to be an invaluable treasure when used in this backward little world.
At Bai Chi's request, the remaining three acres of dry land were all planted with vegetables, especially cabbage and radishes that are suitable for growing in winter.
The variety of vegetables is limited, but fortunately Bai Chi is not picky about food. Occasionally, when he is in the mood, he can even dig up wild vegetables on the roadside and make a delicious meal.
In particular, the various spices in the house were almost all bought by Bai Chi from the medical clinic, and some were also bought from the Hu merchants when they stopped in the town.
There were many things that Hu Yunxiao had never seen before, but he was already conquered by Bai Chi's cooking skills.
As for himself, he only needed to get up early every morning and prepare breakfast for Bai Chi, who slept until noon.
The first day, nothing happened.
The next day, nothing happened.
On the third day, the village chief became a little anxious and began to check around the three acres of fertile land belonging to Bai Chi.
On the tenth day, there was nothing but weeds growing in the fields, and not a single wheat seedling. Wheat had grown in every household, and a thin layer of green could be seen.
But all the wheat that the village chief had planted in the incandescent land seemed to be dead.
Finally, the village chief became anxious and turned the soil little by little with a hoe, but he didn't find even a single wheat seed.
At this time, the village chief's family was already beginning to feel uneasy.
"Old man, could this really be the monster's revenge? Why are everyone else's crops sprouting, but ours haven't?"
The village chief's wife looked uneasily towards the end of the village. There was originally only a dilapidated thatched house there, but now it has become a tall two-story blue brick and tile house.
It is the most imposing house in the entire Qinghe Village.
The village chief was smoking a pipe, the pungent smell of smoke spreading around him. His little grandson beside him coughed twice, pinched his nose, and shouted "Monster, where are you running to!" before running off to play.
"Dad, why don't we return the land? I think Lin Baichi is very evil. Even Tiger Warrior has been bewitched by him."
The village chief's eldest son was also very uneasy. Since Lin Baichi returned to the village, he hardly ever went to the fields. Every day he followed Hu Yunxiao to the fields, but he just stood on the edge of the field.
Especially since he was holding an umbrella in broad daylight.
He had seen it several times. Every time he forgot to open an umbrella, Hu Yunxiao was more anxious than Lin Baichi.
It really looks like a monster that can't stand the sun!
Even looks more and more like a monster.
He had never seen such snow-white and smooth hair. Even the eyebrows and eyelashes were white. The eyes were also very light in color, but the lips were very rosy, as if they had absorbed blood!
Every time he saw Lin Baichi, he would involuntarily walk away from him and didn't dare to get close at all.
However, after hearing what his wife and son said, the village chief said nothing. He just finished his cigarette and knocked it on a stone beside him.
"Come with me tomorrow to plant buckwheat. Water it more. I'm sure you didn't water it enough last time."
The mother and son wanted to say something, but the village chief had already made his decision and it was obvious that he would not change it.
When Xiao Hei told Bai Chi about the reaction of the village chief's family, he was digging herbs in the mountains.
This kind of life of working from sunrise to sunset... ahem, resting from sunrise to sunset is very peaceful and enjoyable. Thanks to Hu Yunxiao, no one from Qinghe Village would be so blind as to cause trouble for him.
The village chief's family started sowing for the second time, this time with buckwheat. Bai Chi calmly threw the herbs in his hand into the backpack, with no extra expression on his face.
Hu Yunxiao was setting a trap not far away. They ran a little far today, and Hu Yunxiao found traces of large prey. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be a wild boar.
Crops are planted in the fields, and the vegetables grow well and fast. Almost every day, Hu Yunxiao goes up the mountain to catch some small prey. Pheasants and rabbits are the most common, and occasionally he catches geese and porcupines.
Sometimes I would bring Bai Chi along for fishing, and I would never come back empty-handed.
Neither of them had much contact with the villagers. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, others were still watching, wanting to see when Hu Yunxiao would be killed by the monster Lin Baichi.
But to everyone's disappointment, Hu Yunxiao was not killed by Lin Baichi. Instead, he became more agile and energetic, and worked harder than the ox at home.
Even Zhang Qiang, seeing Hu Yunxiao, felt that Hu Yunxiao was in high spirits, even more energetic than when he was in the army at his peak.
The two brothers often made appointments to go hunting together in the deep mountains, where there were large prey. If they caught one, they would sell it in town, which could make much more money than growing crops.
As time went by, Bai Chi and Lin Xiucai became closer and closer.
Lin Xiucai occasionally mentioned the past and said that Bai Chi had changed a lot. He also reminded Hu Yunxiao that Lin Bai Chi had suffered a lot in the past and asked Hu Yunxiao to be nicer to him.
The buckwheat planted by the village chief's family for the second time did not sprout. Only weeds grew lushly, and not a single buckwheat seedling emerged.
Finally, the village chief broke down his defenses and looked at Bai Chi with eyes full of fear and rejection.
He didn't dare to plant those acres of land anymore, and he didn't even dare to tell Bai Chi that he had returned the land to him. From then on, he never went near those acres of wasteland overgrown with weeds again.
Other people in the village also avoided Bai Chi. Perhaps in their hearts, the belief that Bai Chi was a monster was even more certain.
This news also spread, and some people speculated that Lin Baichi might really be a monster?
But that's not right. If he was a monster, why would the people of Qinghe Village bully him as they pleased?
Along with the spread of this news, the crops and vegetables in Lin Baichi's family also grew exceptionally well, and even the wheat seedlings were thicker than those of other families.
It was obvious that their crops were planted ten days late.
