Chapter 347: Chenpi team catches rabbits, the land in the north can be managed

The footsteps were getting closer, but there was no sign of Chenpi and his companions in the north of the village.

"Where did these guys go?" asked Xiaohu. He was the tallest one, so he found a rock, climbed up, and looked around.

"Miss, Doctor Ding, they are..." Xiaohu suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" An Yumo also climbed onto the stone.

"Chenpi is over there. He just gestured to me to keep quiet." Xiaohu said in a low voice, pointing to the woods not far away.

Sure enough, Chenpi and the other two were lying in the bushes, and you couldn't see them clearly unless you looked carefully.

"What are they doing?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Come up and take a look for yourself." An Yumo stretched out a hand and Latin Xirui climbed onto the stone.

"They might be catching rabbits." Ding Xirui smiled, "These three guys seem to be quite leisurely."

"Hey, we've worked hard for many days. If they can catch them, we can have an extra meal in the evening."

"But we can't keep waiting like this. Let's count to a thousand. If we can't catch them, we'll call them over."

"Okay."

The three of them got off the stone. Xiaohu touched his head and said, "Doctor Ding, you and the young lady can walk around. I'll count here."

"Okay, thank you Xiaohu." Ding Xirui patted him and pulled An Yumo aside.

It was noticeably cooler here, and the wild chrysanthemums I saw in the morning were dotted all over the hillside.

"There's sunshine in the morning, so it's a good time to plant golden hairpin grass." Ding Xirui squatted down and pushed away the soil under the grass.

"Hiss..." It seemed like there was something hard underneath. She found a stone and started digging. After a short while, she dug out many stones of different sizes in the small area under her feet.

"No wonder no one grows anything here. The soil is bad." Ding Xirui shook her head, but she was unwilling to give in and stared at the grass for a while.

"Xi Rui, there is a reason why the villagers are not living well." An Yumo curled her lips.

"Yumo, this piece of land is not too steep. It can be used after some land reclamation."

"How to cure it?"

"There's a lot of sand and gravel here, so the land needs to be turned over, all the big rocks picked out, and then we can plant grass for one to two years. The alfalfa we found this morning will do."

“Specializing in growing grass?”

"Yes, we specialize in growing grass. When the grass grows up, we can use it as fertilizer to enrich the land. Then we can grow not only golden hairpin grass, but also corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and Dutch potatoes."

"Really?" An Yumo was pleasantly surprised. "But why did it take so long for anyone to come here to cultivate the land?"

"Well... I understand." Ding Xirui shrugged and sighed softly.

"why?"

"Because it's far from the river, we can't irrigate the land without water."

"Is that so?" An Yumo's eyelids drooped.

"It's far from the river, so it's difficult to get water for growing crops. In this case, it's appropriate to grow golden hairpin grass." Ding Xirui smiled. "You don't need to take care of ordinary weeds, just let them grow on their own. To grow golden hairpin grass specifically, you only need to spend a little more effort, and it will definitely grow well."

"So, this piece of land can be used, and there is room for growing golden hairpin grass?"

"Yeah." Ding Xirui nodded.

The two returned to the big rock, supported each other and climbed up, looking at the barren land. In the future, dandelions will grow here. When spring comes, the yellow flowers will dance and the ground will be covered with fluff. When the wind blows, the small umbrellas will float away, becoming a scene in Xiaoshi Village...

"Nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand. Miss, Doctor Ding, it's one thousand now."

"Okay." Ding Xirui was about to speak when he saw Chen Pi and the other two moving quickly and running towards the same place.

"Miss!"

"Young lady!"

After a moment, Chenpi jumped up holding a rabbit, while Banxia and Xiaobao waved their hands wildly and screamed excitedly.

"Fortunately, no one shouted." Ding Xirui and An Yumo smiled at each other, jumped off the stone, pushed aside the grass, and walked towards Chenpi and the others.

"Miss, look, is this rabbit fat?" The gray rabbit was still struggling in Chenpi's hand. One of its legs was injured.

"Well, it's very fat. I haven't seen a rabbit for a long time." Ding Xirui suddenly felt a little reluctant. He glanced at the rabbit and quickly turned his face away.

An Yumo ignored all that and got to work, "Let's have rabbit meat tonight, it's a meaty treat!" She fiddled with the rabbit's ears.

"Ahem," Ding Xirui coughed lightly, "Why did you think of catching rabbits?" she asked.

"When we came in the afternoon, we found rabbit droppings, so we quickly went back to find some food and borrowed rabbit traps from Mrs. Li," said Xiaobao.

"Very clever." An Yumo gave him an approving look.

"However, we haven't found any medicinal herbs yet..." Chen Pi looked at Ding Xirui guiltily.

"It's okay, we found something."

Ding Xirui told the three people about the golden hairpin grass.

"That's great, Miss. The golden hairpin herb for our family's pharmacy was originally bought from Lan County. I wonder if the master agrees..." Chenpi began to think about future business.

"Haha." Ding Xirui patted him and didn't respond further, because she was thinking about the Huimin Pharmacy in Lan County. It would be great if this place could become a purchasing point for the government.

The two teams merged into one and continued forward, carrying medicine baskets. At the same time, Li Xingjian, along with the village head and many men in the village, checked the riverside.

"The river flows out of the mountains, so the area near the mountain pass must not be blocked. Whose fields are closest to the river? They need to move back."

"Yes." The head of the village said "yes", but his expression betrayed him. A man behind him poked his back, making him feel uncomfortable. That man was Zhang Cong's father, the old man of the Zhang family.

"What's the matter? Are you having any difficulties?" Li Xingjian asked.

"Sir, I'm afraid this is not easy. Everyone wants to plant more and harvest more food..."

"Don't worry, I won't let them suffer in vain. I will make up for it somewhere else."

"Really? Thank you, sir." The village head quickly bowed and greeted.

"Sir, where can we make up for it?" asked the old man of the Zhang family in a low voice.

The head of the village turned his head and glared at him. Li Xingjian didn't react. He looked up at the hillside and replied, "Doctor Ding is leading people to look for medicinal herbs near the village. When they find suitable herbs, they should be planted on the nearby hillside. I will give you more when the time comes."

“What medicinal herbs can be found…” The corner of the Zhang family’s old man’s mouth twitched and he muttered softly.

The head of the village glared at him again. Li Xingjian turned around and frowned slightly. "Don't worry, everyone. If you can't find the herbs, there are other things you can do. I came here this time to make everyone's life better."

"Yes." The old man of the Zhang family lowered his head. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything else.

"Let's continue looking down to the bend."

"Yes."

The group then arrived at the bend. The water was shallow in winter and there were several areas of exposed sand on the riverside, as if someone had moved something away.

"That is how the matter?"

The village head turned around and looked at the men behind him. The men looked at each other and finally pointed at one of them. The man couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked forward and said tremblingly:

"Sir, I carried those stones back home."
