The next day, the three arbiters called together the fifteen team leaders to talk about the important matter of digging canals to divert water.
Each group was assigned a section of canal digging task, and the locations of two water storage pits from north to south were designated, and each group sent people to dig together.
The water channel is about 500 meters away from the east side of Sun City. It is located in a low-lying area according to the undulations of the terrain and is winding.
The place that the second group wanted to dig was a section in their area, and Huahong was called away in the afternoon.
Lin Yan was left at home, roasting chestnuts for Yeya and instilling new knowledge into him.
Yeya now knows a lot of things, "After dinner, let's go see the land you planted."
In the past few days, she went to the fields whenever she had time, and she took it very seriously. Ye Ya wanted to see with her own eyes that it was really possible for Lin Yan to say that farming could replace hunting.
If it were true, his family would also open up wasteland for farming.
"Okay." Lin Yan was very happy. "That piece of land is still too small. Half of it is planted with roe, and the remaining part is occupied by hairy chestnut trees. Plant a few more fruit trees and it will be full."
"When will the fruit trees bear fruit?"
Lin Yan was stunned, "Let's wait and see how the fruit trees grow. It will take a few years at least."
"It's been such a long time. By then we've all grown up and can go out to pick fruits to eat." Yeya frowned, feeling that it took too long.
"You won't be ten years old in a few years. How can you go out?" Lin Yan disagreed. "When the fruit trees grow and bear fruit, you can pick them whenever you want. How convenient."
"Yeah, it's convenient, but you have to wait a few years to eat it. These hairy chestnuts are delicious, can you eat them next year?" Ye Ya kept eating with his small mouth, and finished a big chestnut in a few mouthfuls.
It wasn't his first time, but he couldn't get enough.
After the two little people finished eating the chestnuts, they walked westward with their calves. When they walked along Eighth Street, they could see the conditions in the fields.
Mu Shi happened to take advantage of the break to take a look at the two of them, and saw that the two of them had already passed several houses. He hurriedly chased after him.
"Yeya, Lin Yan, where are you going?"
"Go to Lin Yan's field." Ye Ya looked at his father and pulled Lin Yan to continue walking.
"Who told you to run around? You can't go without an adult watching." Mu Shi grabbed the two of them and started to walk back.
Yeya didn't want to go back like this, and begged: "Dad, can you take us there?"
Lin Yan also blinked and looked at Mu Shi. There was nothing wrong with staying at home. She preferred going outside. If possible, she would like to go further.
Mu Shi wanted to go home and make baskets, which was related to his livelihood.
Yeya rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, you also need canes. Let's go get some together, okay? Lin Yan and I will just stay in the fields and not run around."
Mu Shi looked to the west. It was not far from the house. There should be nothing wrong. He nodded and agreed, and walked west with the two little people.
Only a few days later, the roe hemp planted by Lin Yan had sprouted, but the fruit trees were silent.
The weeds in the ground grew again, and she began to pull them out.
Yeya also helped.
Wood and stone were made of rattan on the edge of the ground. This is the Pika Plain, and there are bushes everywhere. Some bushes are so dense that no one can get through.
Not long after, Mu Shi got a lot of rattan and was ready to call it a day and go home. As soon as he turned his head, the two little people disappeared.
He was startled and shouted: "Yeya, Lin Yan, where are you?"
"Dad, we are here."
Ye Ya's voice came from the jungle not far away, and Mu Shi hurriedly followed the sound to find it.
Seeing them hiding in the forest, Mu Shi's heart dropped, and he scolded: "Why didn't you tell me when you came here? I was worried to death."
Yeya lowered his head and admitted his mistake obediently, "Dad, it was our fault. It will never be like this in the future."
Lin Yan huddled behind Ye Ya and pretended that nothing happened. Although Mu Shi had a good temper, they had indeed done something wrong.
Huahong and Ye Zi looked closely at her and Yeya. If they knew that Mu Shi was not paying attention, they would definitely blame Mu Shi.
What can Mu Shi do to them? You can't hit or scold, you have a good attitude towards admitting your mistakes, you can only choose to accept them.
"go home."
Ye Ya and Lin Yan immediately looked up at him, and Mu Shi's heart tightened. Did he not want to go back?
"Dad, there is a nest of wild eggs over there. They are delicious. Can we take them home together?" Yeya pointed in one direction.
"What are wild eggs?" Mu Shi looked along Ye Ya's hand and saw a patch of weeds, which were taller than a person and could not see anything.
"Pheasant eggs are eggs laid by pheasants, and they are delicious." Ye Ya had a greedy look on his face. He had never seen one before, but Lin Yan said they were delicious.
Everything she found was delicious, and Ye Ya wanted to try it. Now, the wild egg is three meters away. The opportunity is right in front of you and you must not miss it.
Mu Shi looked over there hesitantly. The vegetation was so lush that if there was something inside, it would be too late to run away. He said: "You can't see anything, come here quickly and go home."
Yeya became anxious and pushed Lin Yan, "Dad, Lin Yan said there are wild eggs there, there must be some. If you don't want to go look for them, I'll go there myself."
Mu Shi hurriedly grabbed Ye Ya, "It's all grass. Where are the wild eggs? Go back quickly. The grass here is too high and it's not safe inside."
Lin Yan said in time: "Mu Shi, there are really wild eggs right there. There is nothing else in the grass. They are very safe."
She could see there with her mental power. She had checked this area and found that there were no insects or snakes. She could pick up a nest of twelve wild eggs just by going there. Each one was as big as her fist and could make a full meal.
This was the first time she had seen wild eggs, so of course she couldn't let them go.
Mu Shi paused, Lin Yan's words stopped him, "Is it really safe?"
"It's really safe. You can take us there with you." Lin Yan looked sure and almost patted his chest to assure him.
In fact, her mental power is always paying attention to her surroundings, and she can immediately detect something approaching.
After hesitating for a while, Mu Shi believed Lin Yan. He walked at the front, guarding Ye Ya and Lin Yan behind him, and seriously warned: "Follow me closely, don't run around."
The two little people nodded quickly and promised that they would be obedient.
Mu Shi wielded his stone knife and chopped down the bushes blocking the road, barely allowing people to pass.
It took them nearly twenty minutes to walk just a few meters.
Lin Yan followed behind, complaining in his mind that the tools were still weak. If he had a sharp machete, this little bush would be nothing.
It is also because the bushes in the wasteland have grown too densely, making it very difficult to open up wasteland in the future.
You can't think too much, as the future will look bleak just by thinking about it.
Overcoming the obstacles, the three of them finally saw a nest hidden in the weeds. If they hadn't looked carefully, they wouldn't have been able to find it.
Mu Shi glanced at Lin Yan thoughtfully, how did she find out?
They all came close and had to look carefully to see it.
Yeya threw herself on the ground and picked up a wild egg. "It's slippery and feels very brittle. It breaks when you pinch it."
"Don't squeeze it. If it breaks, you can only eat it raw. The cooked one is delicious." Lin Yan stopped him in a hurry, fearing that the wild bud would crush the egg.
