Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 232: Setting Fire to the Fields
Therefore, after Xiao Tu came back and rested for a day, he was sent out again by Fu Cang.
This is exactly what Mo Xiaonian wants.
As long as Xiao Tu keeps bringing people back, she can keep saving people, and more and more areas in her back mountain will be opened up.
Now she can mine sulfur ore from the back mountain, but the output is a bit small. It takes two days to make a pack of explosives that can blast through the rocks.
But even so, with the addition of black gunpowder, the iron mine in Fucang began to operate stably. The iron ore produced daily could supply the needs of Canglu, achieving a strange balance.
When summer came, Xiao Tu picked up more than 500 people from outside.
Fu Cang already had a deep understanding of what Mo Xiaonian was talking about the population imbalance.
Most of the people picked up by Xiao Tu were men, with fewer women.
Some unstable factors are also slowly increasing within the tribe.
The Moonfall Tribe is no longer the simple Moonfall Tribe it once was.
Their population is now extremely mixed, with people coming from all over the place, and naturally there are good people and bad people as well.
Things are often lost in the tribe now, and many indigenous people have begun to complain, saying that they should not accept so many outsiders with unknown reasons.
Mo Xiaonian stood on the edge of her own field and watched Zhang Liang and the others working.
This year is really a good year, with good weather and good harvests. The crops in the fields are growing particularly well. The green wheat seedlings have grown to more than one meter tall and have produced tender ears of wheat.
Mo Xiaonian particularly likes the feeling of watching these crops grow, as if there is new hope waiting for her every day. She also particularly likes the smell of green grass, and just smelling the wind here makes her feel refreshed.
Luhua walked over angrily, and when she got in front of Mo Xiaonian, her chest was still heaving violently.
"Sister Luhua, what's wrong with you? Did someone make you angry?"
Luhua bit her lips hard and pulled Mo Xiaonian to the land where she and Yuelu lived.
"Look, Xiao Nian, the eggplants I planted have all matured, but I don't know who ruined them last night. They pulled the eggplants that hadn't even grown yet and threw them all over the ground. Don't you think this is a disaster?
I have worked so hard to grow the crops for such a long time, and now they are about to mature, but someone has ruined them like this..."
The sound of the reed catkins began to tremble.
She really loves these little eggplants of hers, as she watched them grow.
Mo Xiaonian looked carefully and saw a lot of unripe eggplants on the ground. They were still green and had been pulled down and thrown on the ground.
Mo Xiaonian's brows furrowed tightly.
"How could this happen? It looks like someone's kid got it down by accident."
Luhua took a deep breath and then nodded.
"That should be the case. If an adult were to steal some food and take it home to eat, he wouldn't do such a great harm to others!"
"Sister Luhua, don't be sad. Let's do this tonight..."
Mo Xiaonian whispered a lot in Luhua's ear. Luhua's emotions gradually calmed down. A firm look appeared in her eyes and she nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let's do it! I want to see who is destroying our land like this!"
After dark, Mo Xiaonian, Luhua Yinzhi and the other two quietly hid in the cornfield next to them.
The moon is quite bright tonight, and shining on the ground seems to cover the crops with a layer of silver frost.
Luhua and Yinzhi found this quite exciting and their hearts were pounding.
Yinzhi lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Nian, do you think those people who are causing trouble will come tonight?"
"I don't know either. Let's wait here for about an hour. When it gets late, we can go home and sleep."
"Okay, if it's any later, I'll feel scared too!"
While a few people were talking, they suddenly saw two small figures walking towards them from afar.
Mo Xiaonian hurriedly made a gesture for silence, and the three of them dared not speak anymore. They hid themselves in the cornfield again.
The two people walking over were obviously children, one was eight or nine years old, and the other was about five or six years old. They looked unfamiliar.
The two children were talking and laughing as they walked over here.
"What are we going to do today? That thing yesterday pierced my hand!"
"Ah, I'm also pierced. How about we not pull that broken thing today, let's play with fire and burn everything here, what do you say?"
The other boy looked a little horrified.
"Set fire? Will...will it burn us? Our house is not far from here!"
The older boy gave the younger boy a hard kick.
"Why burn our house? Can't you be more careful? How can you be so stupid?"
The little boy rubbed his butt aggrievedly.
"Why did you kick me? You said you would take me out to play, and you kicked me again!"
"Keep your voice down and don't disturb others. I asked you to do this kind of thing just to vent my mother's anger.
Our mother said that she couldn't imagine that the crops in these people's fields would grow so well. She complained at home every day, hoping that these people's fields would not produce anything.
After we got home yesterday, we told our mother that we had wasted a lot of things in the fields, and she was very happy!
If our mother knew that we burned everything in the field, she would definitely be happier. She might even make us something delicious. Hehehe!"
Luhua was so angry when she heard what happened in the cornfield that she wanted to rush out and chase the two kids away. However, she was grabbed by Mo Xiaonian as soon as she moved her legs.
Mo Xiaonian grabbed the reed catkins tightly.
Luhua looked at Mo Xiaonian in confusion, not understanding why she was stopping her.
This kid is so hateful, shouldn't we go out and teach them a lesson?
Mo Xiaonian knew that Luhua was angry.
Not only was she angry, but she and Yinzhi were also very angry.
But now is not the time to beat these two children.
The two kids had already picked up a lot of branches while laughing. They felt that the eggplant seedlings were in the way, so they pulled out quite a few of them, leaving a piece of open space. They piled up a bunch of dead branches, stuffed some hay on the ground, and then took out a tinder to light the hay.
This is the best time to catch those two kids.
Mo Xiaonian pushed Luhua and Yinzhi. The two men immediately understood and rushed out, each grabbing one child at a time and grabbing the two children tightly.
Mo Xiaonian yelled, "Oh no! It's on fire! Come put it out!"
It was not too late now and not many people were asleep. Fu Cang was just walking home from the military camp and happened to pass by here and heard Mo Xiaonian's shout.
