In the dream, Chen Xingzhen and his son were communicating.
After several people discussed it, they came up with several solutions to the problem of stopping the growth of blood rice.
For example, you can spread straw around the blood rice plants, or keep making fire in the fields. If it’s a little more troublesome, you can just use some cloth and wood to wrap the entire field.
The purpose of these methods is to increase the temperature in the fertile fields, thereby accelerating the growth of blood rice and allowing it to bear fruit earlier.
After hearing this, Chen Xingzhen nodded slightly.
He had thought of these methods, but except for the first one, the others were quite troublesome and extremely laborious.
As for covering the floor with straw, although it can increase the temperature slightly, the effect may not be significant.
However, Chen Xingzhen still plans to give it a try tomorrow.
No matter what the outcome, they cannot give up this crop of blood rice.
As for the Liu family's current actions, Chen Changming asked all clan members who were investigating outside to withdraw.
This matter is left to them.
When warriors investigate, they will inevitably reveal clues and leave traces. If the Liu family has no intention of taking action and feels unhappy about it, they may end up making things worse and put the family in danger.
And given their current state, it is perfect for exploration.
Considering the risk of souls being discovered by warriors, Chen Changming decided to only let the dead clansmen check for traces outside and not let them enter the Liu family.
Although this is a bit slower, it is safer.
Moreover, with such a large move by the Liu family, it is impossible for there to be Blood Coagulation Realm warriors guarding every place, so this is also an opportunity for them to find out their purpose.
The two talked in detail for a while before Chen Changming's figure slowly disappeared from the dream.
On the second day, the family took big action. A large number of clansmen were sent to the fertile fields to keep the blood rice warm.
However, the spiritual fields were quite large, and the family's limited manpower was not enough. It took a whole day to cover all the fertile fields with straw.
In the following days, the warriors in the clan were all busy in the fertile fields.
The busyness of the tribesmen was not without effect. When Chen Xingzhen saw tiny rice grains growing among the originally shriveled rice ears, a hint of joy appeared on his sad face.
But after the joy, Chen Xingzhen looked up at the sky again and sighed secretly.
The tribesmen's busy work these days has indeed paid off, but now it is almost December, the weather is getting colder, and frost has even begun to form on the high places of the mass grave mountain.
If the current situation continues, it won’t be long before the frost covers all the fertile fields, and by then it will be difficult to harvest the blood rice.
And their busyness cannot change much in this extremely cold weather.
Looking at the tribesmen still working hard in the fields, even Chen Xingzhen felt a little confused.
Are you really going to give up?
But when Chen Xingzhen saw the smiles on the faces of many of his tribesmen as they were busy, he instantly felt free and easy.
It doesn’t matter even if this crop of blood rice cannot be harvested. At worst they can just plant it again next year.
Chen Xingzhen stopped struggling and just shouted loudly to the tribesmen in the field:
"Dear tribesmen, there will be an extra meal tonight!"
“Thank you, Chief!”
"The clan leader is wise!"
Hearing the extra meal, the tribesmen worked even harder.
…
"Chief, we have discovered something!"
In the Liu family, the middle-aged man who was listening to the report from the clan members suddenly stood up, a fascinating light burst out in his eyes, and then he said:
“Take me to see it!”
Seeing the expression of the patriarch, the person who reported hurriedly led the way.
A group of people quickly left the family.
After a while, they arrived at a deep pit.
Outside the deep pit, there are many members of the Liu family guarding there at this moment. And if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that these guarding warriors are at least at the Blood Coagulation Realm!
And around this deep pit, there are several excavated tunnels.
These tunnels are messy and the excavation method is simple. The pillars used to support the tunnels are just a few wooden stakes. In addition, there is fresh soil piled outside the deep pit. It can be seen that these tunnels were excavated in a short period of time.
The middle-aged man paid no attention to these seemingly extremely dangerous tunnels, but, under the guidance of someone, quickly walked into one of the tunnels that had been dug not long ago.
Soon, the group arrived deep into the tunnel.
When the middle-aged man saw the red soil at the end of the tunnel, he became even more excited. He immediately approached and reached out to touch it.
As the middle-aged man kneaded the soil, a hint of bright red blood oozed out of the bright red soil.
Seeing the bloody face, the middle-aged man was overjoyed and said:
"Okay, okay, keep digging!"
"We must find the exact location of the natural blood spring this time!"
…
"A natural blood spring? What is that?"
At Chen’s house, Chen Xingzhen in the dream looked bewildered.
Just now, Chen Changming entered a dream and told him the information sent back by the tribesmen he had sent out in the past few days.
After some judgment, Chen Changming told him that the Liu family was most likely looking for a natural blood spring.
Chen Xingzhen, who had never heard of this name, certainly didn't know what it was, but looking at the stern expression on his father's face, Chen Xingzhen felt something was wrong.
After a brief silence, Chen Changming explained:
"The universe is vast and boundless. Often, there are places with good feng shui, which can give rise to some strange effects."
"The natural blood spring is such a Feng Shui treasure land. This kind of blood spring is born underground, but it does not gush out of the ground like a spring. Instead, it forms an undercurrent underground, slowly changing the surroundings."
After saying this, Chen Changming sighed again:
"In fact, the blood rice that the family grows now is also due to this natural blood spring."
"I only had a guess in my mind before, but I hadn't confirmed it. But last night I personally went to check the tunnel dug by the Liu family, and I confirmed that they were indeed looking for the natural blood spring hidden in the mass grave mountain."
Chen Xingzhen looked dazed when he heard the news.
He didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the seemingly ordinary mass grave.
But soon, Chen Xingzhen reacted and asked:
"Why is the Liu family looking for a natural blood spring? Do they want to take the blood spring away?"
Chen Changming shook his head:
"Once a natural blood spring is produced, it cannot be moved. They must have other reasons for looking for the blood spring. Although this blood spring is a Feng Shui treasure land, its effect is not too surprising among many Feng Shui treasure lands. It can only produce blood rice and other things."
"According to what you said, the Liu family did not vigorously plant blood rice after arriving at the Mass Burial Hill. It is obvious that they do not value the side effects of the blood spring. Their goal is probably the natural blood spring itself."
