Chapter 205 Village Wall Completed



Little Bell looked at the basin of water and subconsciously took two steps back.

Not to mention that this thing looks extremely bitter, not to mention that it also has a "fragrance" that you dare not smell a second time.

She suddenly had a guess that perhaps the messy smell from her senior brother's body might also come from the master's "teaching"?

However, she didn't dare say it.

She covered her nose and said sullenly, "Master, what did you put in here?"

Jiang Xinian sat calmly aside, "It's nothing, just a few kinds of medicinal herbs with strong vitality.

When I was growing medicinal plants in the past, I found that both the weeds and medicinal herbs growing around them were better than ordinary ones.

So I guessed that they should have the function of nourishing plants. Later, I tried them separately several times and they really worked very well.

If you submit it this way, not only will the effect be better, but it will also reduce people's speculation about your water, right?"

Jiang Xinian spoke calmly, but Xiao Lingling's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that the matter of the spiritual pool water could be hidden from everyone else but him.

It’s just that Xiao Lingling didn’t know how to explain it. Since Jiang Xinian didn’t ask, she naturally wouldn’t say anything.

But now that everything is out in the open, it's still a bit embarrassing.

Jiang Xinian didn't want to embarrass her. "I won't ask where this water comes from, but as a master, one pot a day shouldn't be too much, right?"

Little Bell's eyes lit up, "Not much, not much, not much. But Master, you really can't drink too much of this water. Three cups a day is enough!"

Any more might even backfire!"

Jiang Xinian had already guessed it and nodded calmly, "It's okay. If you can't drink it, I'll make it into pills. I think it should be able to enhance the efficacy, so it won't be a waste."

Since he said so, Xiao Lingling naturally had no objection.

"Sure, I'll bring it to Master later. But I still need to test the effects of this potion."

Jiang Xinian glanced at the two pots of green plants on the antique shelf next to him, and directly used a watering can to scoop some medicine and poured it into the pots.

Immediately afterwards, the leaves of the green plant became visibly larger and the color became much darker.

But this effect is too exaggerated, so it needs to be restrained a little.

The two diluted the potion several times with clean water until there were no particularly obvious changes in the green plants.

"Well, this potion is very powerful. We just diluted it at least several hundred times, which suppressed the changes to the point where they are invisible to the naked eye.

But even so, if diluted water is used for irrigation frequently, the yield will inevitably not be low.

So, if we're selling it to the public, the ratio is about one kilogram of medicine to one thousand kilograms of water."

Little Bell nodded and thought it was good. "This is good enough. I didn't plan to let them use this water for watering, I just wanted to use it to soak the seeds.

As long as the seeds are fully nourished, watering them later can increase yields.

The most important thing is that this is much less troublesome than watering. Otherwise, we would have to boil so many herbs to make them."

"This method is good. This way, one pound of medicine can soak a thousand pounds of seeds. It's much more effective than watering directly."

Little Lingling calmed down and looked at the large basin of potion, feeling that it was not enough.

"Yes, but Master, let's make two more pots. This is too little. We have to make at least 50 kilograms first."

Jiang Xinian had no choice but to cooperate, and soon the smell in the pharmacy began to change miraculously.

By the evening, the Lin family had basically completed their grain purchase. Dozens or even hundreds of bags of rice were piled up in the utility room and side rooms, looking very impressive.

With so many seeds, Xiao Lingling only left ten large bags, which were basically enough for planting in her space.

As for the rest, Wu Bokai could find an opportunity to send them to the capital.

It was only at dinner time that everyone started discussing the village wall.

Lin Changshu knew about the drought, so he fully supported the idea of ​​building the village wall.

But Fang was a little confused. "Why is the village chief suddenly building a village wall? We just harvested the crops from the fields and thought we could rest for a few days."

Lin Feng was also a little curious. "Yeah, this happened a little too suddenly. I was hoping to free up my hands now to quickly complete the orders from the wood shop.

I'm afraid this won't work. The village chief said it would be best if every family contributed a laborer, and we can't afford to be treated specially."

Lin Changshu was naturally also worried about the affairs of his own shop. "How about this, your mother and I will go and help with the village wall work, and you stay at home and work.

We've already been delayed for several days due to the summer harvest, and we can't delay any longer. Otherwise, it will be bad for our store's reputation."

Lin Feng couldn't bear to let his father suffer that, so he was about to speak when Chen Shuxu spoke first.

"Grandpa Lin, Uncle Lin, let me go. I'm quite strong now, and there are many fellow villagers here, so it's not tiring to help each other. I can handle the village wall."

Lin Feng quickly waved his hands, "No, no, how can I let a child like you do such a tiring thing."

Several people kept pulling each other, and Xiao Lingling was tired of listening.

In the end, it was only completed after we decided that everyone would take turns.

So, early the next morning, Lin Feng was the first to gather at the entrance of the village ancestral hall.

The whole village was mobilized for the village wall project, and almost every household that could still move came.

Although Liu Mingyi did not mention the bandits, he was very serious when he gave the notice and even brought out the county magistrate.

Now even those who used to be sneaky and cunning dared not to do anything. Everyone split into two groups, some went to dig the foundation, and some went up the mountain to dig soil to make bricks.

For several days thereafter, Xiao Lingling's sleep quality deteriorated drastically, and she even began to have auditory hallucinations.

I can always hear the sound of people digging and knocking stones on the mountain...

Half a month passed, and thanks to the hard work of all the villagers in Shuanghe Village, the village wall surrounding the entire village was finally built.

The village wall was nearly two meters high, and the top was covered with a circle of sharp broken porcelain pieces covered with mud.

If anyone wants to climb over the wall, they will definitely suffer.

The village wall also extends to the side of the mountain where the Lin family's back door is located. However, in order to facilitate their entry and exit of the mountain, a small door was left here.

Including this small gate, there are five gates in the entire village wall, one each in the east, south, west and north.

In order to facilitate observation of the situation outside, a long ladder is placed every twenty meters. You can see the situation outside by stepping on it against the wall.

Xiao Lingling has been busy for the past half month, ripening a batch of rice in the space.

Well, today the village wall was just completed, so Xiao Lingling prepared to go to the county with peace of mind.

First, we need to send this new batch of grain, which can be used as seeds or for disaster relief. Second, we also need to send the prepared medicine.
