"High Priest, I brought back some new things from outside, among which is a fruit called watermelon, which is sweet and juicy. Please bring a few over later for everyone to taste and quench their thirst!" Cheng Mo turned his head and shouted to the people behind him.

After hearing this, Xiong Bo looked confused, because he had never heard of such a thing as watermelon. He nodded and wrote the three crooked words "divide the fruits" with some difficulty on the notebook he carried with him.

Afterwards, Cheng Mo continued to move towards the top of the mountain alone. Faced with such scorching hot weather, he resolutely declined the proposal of other orcs to go forward together. After all, in such harsh weather conditions, it would be better to let them stay at the foot of the mountain to rest for a while instead of letting them suffer in the mountains. What's more, the high priest is old, and if he continues to accompany him to run around and work hard, his body may not be able to bear it.

Cheng Mo trudged along while observing the surrounding scenery. The heavy rice swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling people the joy of a good harvest; but when he reached the middle of the mountain, Cheng Mo was already out of breath, with beads of sweat sliding down his forehead. He sat down on the ground exhausted, fanning himself with his hands to get some coolness, and couldn't help complaining: "It's so hot today! It would be great if I had a fan!"

After a short rest, Cheng Moqiang gathered his energy and continued to climb up the mountain. Due to the extremely hot weather, even the water level in the river dropped significantly. If it weren't for the existence of irrigation tools such as water wheels, it would be really hard and tiring to irrigate such a large scale of terraces!

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the heat slowly fades away. Cheng Mo sits leisurely on the top of the mountain, overlooking the vast expanse of terraced fields in front of him, feeling the cool breeze on his cheeks. The rice is lush and green, growing well, and swaying gently in the breeze.

Recalling the time when he decided to develop terraced fields on the mountain, Cheng Mo was worried that there would be opposition from the residents. After all, the beastmen here had never tasted rice and did not understand the significance of growing rice on a large scale.

However, surprisingly, everyone was very proactive. In just one month, they successfully reclaimed a hilltop and planted countless rice plants. Worried about the lack of fertility in the soil, Cheng Mo even secretly mixed some rare fertile soil into it.

These precious rice seeds were brought from the God-forsaken Land by him. In order to make them thrive, Cheng Mo took great pains and made sufficient preparations. Now it seems that all the efforts are worth it, and the rice harvest in front of him is the best proof.

After a short rest, Cheng Mo stood up and prepared to go down the mountain. When he passed through the rice fields, he startled a flock of birds and they flew everywhere. He then realized that because of the extremely hot weather before, these birds had never visited this place. As the temperature turned slightly cooler, they came to feed on the rice.

Cheng Mo was furious and waved his arms to try to drive away the birds, but they quickly flew back to where they came from. Although Cheng Mo chased them everywhere, the birds seemed to have no fear and would turn back as soon as Cheng Mo relaxed a little.

Just when Cheng Mo was running around, Ban Mu came to look for him. Seeing Cheng Mo running around, Ban Mu couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Xiao Mo, what are you doing?"

Cheng Mo saw Ban Mu as if he had found a savior, and pointed at the birds flying in the sky and shouted breathlessly: "Ban Mu! Whoosh... Quick! Come and help me, drive these annoying guys away quickly!"

Ban Mu quickly stepped forward to hold Cheng Mo, stopping him from running wildly. Then he flashed and transformed into a mighty beast and soared into the air. He let out a deep roar, and the powerful orc pressure instantly spread. The frightened birds were terrified and fled in all directions, not daring to get close to him again.

Cheng Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, cursing angrily: "You bullies, come back if you dare! I am not afraid of you, I can fight you for another 300 rounds!"

Ban Mu fell beside Cheng Mo distressed, nudged Cheng Mo's body with his head and said, "Xiao Mo, don't be angry, let's go home."

Cheng Mo climbed onto Ban Mu's back, muttering about making a few scarecrows and putting them here to scare the birds to death and see if they dare to come and steal food!

After returning home, Cheng Mo and his partner first washed up in the bathroom to wash away the fatigue of many days, and then sat down, and the family of three enjoyed the long-lost warmth.

Gua Yan, who had been playing outside, saw Cheng Mo as soon as he got home. He flew around Cheng Mo excitedly, saying "welcome home" in a twittering voice. He was so excited that he ignored Ban Mu, who had a dark face, because he hadn't seen Cheng Mo for a long time.

Cheng Lingqu sat quietly on the side and ate dinner. He didn't want to pay any attention to Xiaobai, the fool!

The next morning, Cheng Mo could not wait to drag Xiong Bo from house to house to collect the abandoned old clothes. Although these clothes were tattered, they contained a strong smell of orcs, which was perfect for making scarecrows to deter birds.

The amount of watermelons brought back yesterday was limited, and only some of the orcs were lucky enough to taste this sweet and juicy fruit. Those who tasted the watermelon were extremely excited and described its deliciousness to their companions with relish, while the orcs who didn't get to taste it regretted missing the opportunity yesterday and secretly vowed to strive for this honor next time.

There were still many watermelons in the watermelon field over there that had not been brought back, so Cheng Mo led Ban Mu and a dozen strong elephant-like orcs to embark on the journey of transportation.

In the middle of the trip, Cheng Mo accidentally discovered several tall and straight palm trees. Looking at the broad green leaves of the palm trees, he couldn't help but recall the pleasant time when he used to hold a palm leaf fan to enjoy the cool in the summer when he was a child. So he excitedly invited Banmu to pick a lot of palm leaves together and take them home.

The amount of watermelons brought back was large, but it was still far from enough compared to the large number of residents in the city. Therefore, everyone could only get a small piece of watermelon. Despite this, people still cherished the small piece of watermelon in their hands, savoring its sweetness with relish, and carefully saved the watermelon seeds after eating them and handed them over to Xiongbai for unified collection.

Cheng Mo was in charge of using these watermelon seeds to grow seedlings. To his delight, some of the germinated seeds survived successfully. He not only shared these seedlings with other residents, but also patiently taught them how to plant and care for watermelons. After all, for everyone, this was the first time to try to grow watermelons. So, after personally teaching the relevant skills, Cheng Mo would tirelessly go to the courtyards of each household every day to carefully check the growth of those tender little buds.

At the same time, the palm leaves that were brought back earlier had been completely shaped after being pressed in water for a long time. Cheng Mo skillfully cut off the extra leaves, and then carefully wrapped and decorated the edges with animal skins. A simple and practical palm leaf fan was thus completed!

A small and exquisite palm leaf fan swayed slowly in the air, like a dancing butterfly, bringing a hint of coolness with every wave. The breeze blew, and the cool air quickly spread, making the surrounding air fresh and pleasant.

Holding palm-leaf fans, the beastmen sat leisurely in their own courtyards, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing. Some of them told about their own interesting experiences of the day, making everyone laugh; others shared their gains and experiences, learning from each other. The cubs played and chased each other, laughing happily from time to time.

Today's life is getting better and better for these orcs. They no longer have to worry about food and clothing as in the past, but can live a stable and comfortable life.
