Chapter 160160. Harvest (Part 1)
In the face of the unprecedented huge harvest, the grudges between men and women can be put aside for the time being.
The wheat fields gradually turned golden and magnificent day by day. The undulating wheat waves were something that no one had ever seen before.
The wheat variety is very good. After generations of selection, the viability and yield per mu are almost perfect. No further cultivation is needed.
People are looking forward to the day of autumn harvest. But compared with previous years, it is still too early and even experienced farmers are undecided.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. No one is willing to take this step first, thinking that if they wait one more day, the wheat will be more mature and there will be more harvest.
Until this day, Fulinbao announced that the autumn harvest of wheat had begun throughout the territory.
After the news spread, frantic farmers rushed into their fields under the scorching sun.
They were soon defeated, and many people fainted from heat stroke. The scorching sun took the lives of some old and weak people. Fortunately, most people had their families and neighbors to take care of them, so there was no large-scale tragedy.
Grieving people quickly put the pain of losing a family member behind them.
Death is a very common thing. Every year, people of all kinds die for various reasons, including being killed by wild animals while hunting, accidentally scratched by a rusty knife, poisoned by eating unfamiliar plants and fish, and dying from freezing weather. The number of such deaths is countless.
Anyone living in this cruel land must be strong-willed and optimistic.
Fragile people simply cannot survive.
In people's eyes, death from heatstroke is equivalent to birth, aging, sickness and death, so there is no need to be overly sentimental.
Since death cannot be reversed, what is the point of doing some futile actions? The only thing the family can do is to send the deceased to the funeral area in the north of the city for burial. A wooden board is inserted on the mound of earth. The name of the deceased, date of death, age, family members and other information are written on it.
It is not impossible to bury the body randomly, but it is easy for the body to be taken away by unknown wild animals.
The mausoleum area is more or less guarded. There are night watchmen, and the patrol team of Donggang City must pass by three times. The Executive Office has relevant regulations.
The mausoleum area can be protected from wild beasts but not from rats.
In recent years, the rat infestation has become increasingly serious. People have even spontaneously formed rat-catching organizations and invented various mechanisms and poisons to slightly curb the momentum of rat reproduction.
In order to prevent the mausoleum from becoming a home for rats, Lowe ordered the implementation of cremation.
The reason is to avoid the outbreak of undead scourges and plagues and to purify the bodies of the dead.
Anyway, diesel and gasoline have no use at the moment and cannot be stored in large quantities, so they are perfect for use in the funeral industry.
I thought there would be resistance, but in fact people's reaction was very lukewarm.
Cremation is not uncommon.
The Church of Glory strongly advocates cremation. During the hundreds of years when the undead scourge was prevalent, cremation was a common way for all countries to deal with the dead.
However, it was eventually abandoned after the end of the Undead Scourge due to its high cost.
Compared to cremation with a large amount of dry firewood, digging a pit is more convenient and subjectively easier for people to accept.
No one knows when the coffin was born, but just like wheat, it has always been there. Rich people usually choose to buy a coffin for their family. Poor people who have no food or clothing don't care so much.
The setting sun sank into the ground and a cool breeze came.
Taking advantage of the twilight of dusk, people returned to their fields and began to harvest crops.
Tonight, most people are destined to stay awake all night.
As dusk falls, twilight quietly descends. The starry night sky and the bright moon as big as a disk provide considerable convenience to people working in the dark.
At least you can see your fingers clearly when you stretch out your hand, and you can see the general outlines of your family members working around you.
The sense of security does not end there. There are guards patrolling the fields with kerosene lamps, responsible for driving away wild beasts and dangers.
Tonight, the Guards and the city defense forces also stayed up all night.
In front of the gate of Fulin Fort, people were constantly coming in and out, creating an abnormal phenomenon that the night was more lively than the day.
In a nearby, out-of-the-way location, Lovey leaned back on a recliner, leisurely enjoying the gentle night breeze.
The temperature hasn't dropped for a while and is still around 30 degrees.
But compared to the daytime, it is within the normal tolerance range for people. Especially the body temperature, the rapid drop brings waves of joy from the bottom of my heart.
The wind suddenly stopped. Lovey was fanning himself with one hand and felt very tired, so he handed it to Xiqi.
"Fan me, Miss Maid."
"I'm the manager."
Xiqi disobeyed and put the fan back.
Fortunately, there was an obedient Lan Lan. Luo Wei hooked his finger, and Lan Lan squatted down while wagging his tail: "Master, it's very windy now, why are you fanning yourself?"
"Because I want to bully girls." Lowe said honestly.
Lan Lan puffed up her cheeks angrily: "You bad guy! How did a girl offend you?"
Suddenly a gust of wind blew Lan Lan's hair, and the fan returned to Lovey's hand.
"Lanlan, be obedient! Otherwise I will punish you!"
The blue-haired maid stuck out her tongue and wagged her tail with her back to Lovi. Suddenly she found that her body was restrained by a force.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Luo Wei was angry and pressed Lan Lan on his knees.
He looked around at the people around him, determined to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and raised his hand and slapped it.
“Oh my god.” Lan Lan cried out in dismay, “Master, you are bullying me.”
"Who told you to be disobedient?" Luo Wei cruelly increased his strength, and Lan Lan struggled violently.
She is so strong! If it weren't for the mental support, Luo Wei really couldn't suppress her.
"Will you be obedient in the future?" Lovi placed his palm on the maid's gauze skirt.
Lan Lan nodded weakly, without any backbone of a grown woman. As expected, little girls are the easiest to bully! Luo Wei stopped when he saw that things were going well and let Lan Lan go. She bit her lip and covered her hands behind her skirt: "Master, you just bully me."
"And you, Xiqi! Now you are a maid, not a manager." Lovi attacked and pinned the person down, slapping her mercilessly.
"Damn it, let me go!" Xiqi's physical strength is much weaker than Lanlan's, and Luo Wei can easily suppress her without using any mental power.
Her behavior is worse than Lan Lan's, so she should be hit three times.
After the fight, Lowe looked around the room domineeringly and said to the maids who were peeking at the side: "Who dares to disobey!"
The two guardians, Georgia and Mossofi, stood by his side, adding to his majesty.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Xiqi lay on Luo Wei's knees, motionless: "You can beat me to death, I just don't accept it."
Luo Wei snorted lightly: "I have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. You just offended the lord's majesty, so I punish you. Get up."
Reaching out and pressing the laugh switch, Xiqi couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up with her hands on her waist, smiling: "Master, you are cheating."
"I'm not kidding you." Lowe said with a straight face.
