Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

107 You Brought This On Yourself

Bai Wutong and the others had already plowed more than ten acres of land. They had also dug out a lot of wood and piled it at the side for future use.

Bai Wutong touched the soil in the newly dug out wasteland.

Suddenly, a ghostly cry came from the neighboring mountain.

Wang Chang and Wang Qi were arrested and thrown into jail. Their houses, fields, and property were also confiscated after the sudden arrival of the soldiers.

Wang Mingyue did not have time to hide anything before she was chased out of her house.

When the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law heard that their husbands would be beheaded, they brought the children back to their parents’ house without looking back.

Looking at her father lying on the ground with his mouth and eyes distorted, her mother holding her chest and crying for her son, Wang Mingyue, who had nowhere to go and was surrounded by people gossiping about her, fainted.

Bai Wutong pricked up her ears and heard that the government had sent someone to the Wang family to raid their house.

They deserved it, so Bai Wutong had no sympathy for them at all.

The soil of the Jade Spiritual Mountain was not exactly fertile. The people here planted potatoes and sweet potatoes, but the harvest was average.

It was suitable for planting rice. Unfortunately, there was no river near the forest village, so it was not convenient for water irrigation and there were very few families who planted rice.

The main grain planted locally was corn, which was considered the best harvestable among the many grains.

One mu of land could produce about 150 kilograms of corn.

150 kilograms was considered high yield in this world. In the modern era before the apocalypse, 150 kilograms could not even be considered low yield.

The standard harvest for one mu of sorghum should be about 400 kilograms.

During the apocalypse, Bai Wutong had driven an RV to an abandoned farm to replenish her food.

She had grabbed some of the various types of grains.

Bai Wutong thought that after the apocalypse, she could use these grains to cultivate seeds. Along the way, she did not touch the grains brought from the modern world.

When everyone was growing seedlings, she could secretly sneak some seeds in and harvest them next year. When everyone discovered that some plants had especially high yields, they could cultivate and plant them in large quantities.

Bai Wutong looked at the soil seriously. Chu Tianbao also grabbed a handful of soil like her and forced open his swollen eyes to observe carefully.

Auntie Yang smiled and said, “There are also benefits to exploring the land. If we want to dig up a few more acres of land, we can do so. If there are no natural disasters next year, everyone won’t have to worry about not having enough to eat.”

Bai Wutong nodded. “In addition to the fields that have to be taxed, I also want to cultivate some fields to grow fruits.”

Woqian Town was too small. It was even a luxury to eat fruits.

Thinking about it, it made sense. The people already had difficulties feeding themselves, so who would still be in the mood to plant fruits?

The small tomatoes, watermelons, cherries, and strawberries in the fridge in Bai Wutong’s space could all be planted with seeds. If they asked where these seeds came from, she would say that she had obtained them accidentally while escaping from the wilderness. No one would be able to find out.

Auntie Yang smiled and said, “Sure, I’ll help Madam grow her seedlings. I’ve planted sweet melons before. They’re delicious.”

Cui Lingyi also said, “I want to plant melons too. I also want to plant some peony flowers, crab claw chrysanthemums…”

When Bai Wutong heard her mutter a long string of expensive flowers, she smiled and teased, “Aren’t the priceless tears in the snow enough for you to cultivate?”

Cui Lingyi smiled and said, “Tears in the snow can only be seen in winter. I want to plant all kinds of beautiful flowers here all year round.”

Bai Wutong suddenly thought of something. “Sure. We can design a garden and plant some flowers and plants to decorate the village. It will be beautiful but not affect the villagers’ work. We can plant rose, triangular plums and let them climb on the walls and roofs.”

“In the middle of the village, we can also dig a large pond to store water and raise fish to plant lotus roots. In the summer, we can admire the lotus flowers and dig up the lotus roots in the winter. Not only will it be beautiful, but we can also eat it. In the winter, other than orchids, we can also plant wintersweet flowers that are fragrant for ten miles. At that time, the entire village will be fragrant. The wintersweet flowers can also be used to make tea, remove the heat, expel the poison, and prevent acne.”

Bai Wutong had gone to many romantic towns with the production team in the past. When she saw the beautiful scenery around her, no matter how tired she was, her mood would become extremely pleasant.

This would be their home in the future. Bai Wutong definitely wanted the village to look better.

Bai Wutong’s description gave Cui Lingyi a lot of inspiration. Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly to Bai Wutong, “Let’s go and draw the blueprint now. I haven’t found a chance to consult you about your amazing drawing skills!”

Bai Wutong smiled. “There’s no hurry. We still have to look at the house and build the foundation later. We can only plant these things after the house is built. You can design them in your mind first, and then we can discuss them.”

Cui Lingyi knew that this matter could not be rushed. They didn’t even have a house, let alone a courtyard. She could only say, “Then I’ll think about it first, and then I’ll get someone to buy these flowers and trees.”

Sheng Huaixuan came over with Stinky and happened to hear this. He smiled and said, “What flowers and trees does Madam Cui want? I can get someone to send them over.”

Cui Lingyi recalled that Sheng Huaixuan had many businesses in the past. Even if he was no longer in the business, he still had his own connections. It would definitely be better than her looking for someone to buy it from. She said, “It might be a little too much. I’ll make a list later, thank you Master Sheng for helping.”

Sheng Huaixuan looked honored. “It’s just a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning. We’re all villagers of Youjia village now. We should help each other.”

Cui Lingyi covered her mouth and smiled. Her movements were elegant, but her words were forthright. “Alright, Master Sheng, if you need any help in the future, feel free to look for me.”

One of them had lost his wife, and the other was a widow. Saying such things might cause a misunderstanding.

Cui Lingyi’s face stiffened, and she quickly added, “And the Cui family.”

Sheng Huaixuan pretended not to notice Cui Lingyi’s slip of the tongue and nodded. “Okay.”

Yang Gongbing was still thinking that Yang Quanzi and the others might not have enough food to eat, so he specially sent someone to bring a batch of food over.

The food he had sent over was enough to feed the entire village for at least a week. Yang Quanzi asked the official escorting the food in surprise, “This food is?”

The newly appointed official, Bao Zhaoshan, said respectfully, “Master specially asked me to deliver it to you. He also asked me to tell Master Yang not to worry. This is food that Master bought with other people’s household registers. It’s not a violation of the Ling Kingdom’s laws.” With that, he gave Yang Quanzi a letter.

Yang Quanzi opened the letter and looked at it. Then he stroked his beard and smiled. “This kid is still so smart.” Then he glanced at Cui Shize and told him to learn. As an official, he had to know how to be flexible at the right time and not be so stubborn.

Cui Shize was not always stubborn. He did not refute his teacher and smiled to show that he had learned something. He took out a money bag from his sleeve and placed it in front of Bao Zhaoshan. “Thank you for your trouble. I hope you can pass it to Lord Yang.”

Yang Gongbing’s monthly salary was not much at all. His family was only considered to be a little rich. After buying so much food, he would definitely have to tighten his belt to survive.

Bao Zhaoshan shook his head and said with a smile, “Master said that this is a small token of his appreciation as a student. In a few days, he will definitely personally visit and listen to Old Master Yang’s teachings. He repeatedly exhorted me not to accept Old Master Yang’s money. If I do, it will be difficult for me to report back.”
