The sun was scorching hot, and it was only nine o'clock in the morning. The coolness in the early morning was swallowed up by the ubiquitous heat, and all the leaves of the plants were listless. Indoors and under the big trees growing by the water, other places are not suitable for people to stay.

Yining was sitting under the tree where he picked mulberry orchids. Under his buttocks was a stone half submerged in water. The cool wind with moisture blew onto his sweaty body, bringing a burst of comfort.

Mu Kun is cutting watermelon with a knife.

What's the best way to quench your thirst in the hot summer?That has to be watermelon.

Anyway, it's farming, what to grow is not what to grow, Yining simply found all the vegetables and fruits that he thought of and tried them out. Anyway, the Mu clan has enough manpower, and he has seeds and planting methods, so why not do it.

After experiencing the first winter without having to worry about food at all, everyone here became very interested in planting, causing the tribe to spend most of their time planting except for hunting. In the only school, planting has become a course, with Mu Tuo as the lecturer, and occasionally Yining will give lectures on theory when he is free.

Because of the busy farming, this planting class is more like a training class. The class starts before planting a certain crop, and the class is concentrated and then ends. The students are not fixed, but whoever needs to be trained. kind of.

There are about two acres of watermelons planted, because there is no plastic film to keep them warm, and there are no convenient farmland water conservancy facilities. Yining was not optimistic about it before, thinking that it would be good to grow a few.

Unexpectedly, although the land is not fertile enough, it can't stand it. With the blessing of divine artifacts, the seeds and planting methods he got are all first-class. In addition, he used river mud and plant ash accumulated over the winter, as well as human and animal feces. The fertile field also has the effect of Shenfa amber, so these watermelons grow very well.

Although there is no plastic wrap to increase the surface temperature, the climate here is abnormal, the weather is hot quickly, and the temperature is already high; it is also close to a big river, and the soil humidity is enough. Just digging a ditch can guarantee the water supply.

With the blessing of the right time, place and people these days, the seedlings, which were yellow at first, quickly sprouted and climbed, and the branches and vines covered the land tightly.

Although there are quite detailed instructions on the planting method, the theory is a theory after all.

This is the first time to plant watermelon, and the growth looks lush, but in fact watermelon is a kind of plant that needs to be carefully handled and needs to be paid attention to all the time. They have no experience in picking off branches that absorb too much nutrients from the mother. Okay, so after the flowers bloomed, there were less than five hundred watermelons, big and small.

This amount of watermelon is not enough if everyone wants to share one. In addition to watermelon, there are also tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, dragon fruits, and various berries. Most of them belong to the first year of trial planting, and the output is what I really can't say how high it is, and there are not many people planted, so it is definitely not enough to divide by head.

But there are few ways to eat. They plan to hold a bonfire party when the fruits are almost ripe, dedicated to tasting these fruits. The highlight is of course the watermelon with the highest yield.

The bonfire party has been prepared for several days, and it will start tonight.

This is the biggest gathering held by the clan after the Spring Flower Festival.

Although they have harvested much more food this year than before, the clansmen have never stopped being busy since the arrival of spring. Working in the farmland is actually not as easy as collecting food.

But the Mu people are still happy from the bottom of their hearts, because they spend the same amount of time, and the goods they receive are not at the same level as before.

There is no need to go deep into the mountains and face many unpredictable dangers such as wild beasts. The old people, women, and children in the clan who cannot hunt also have things to do. The food grown with their own hands certainly feels different in the mouth, so The current state is basically tired and happy.

But my heart is happy, but my body is also very tired!

Therefore, the people of the tribe are very much looking forward to having such a chance to have a carnival.

Right now, Yining is just using the excuse of "try to see if the watermelon is ripe", and asks Mu Kun to get one first to satisfy his hunger.

Mu Kun saw his narrow-mindedness at a glance, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all for selfishness, but felt that Yining's behavior was justified.

In Mu Kun's cognition, in their social structure, the leader shoulders greater responsibilities, and of course enjoys greater rights. As a priest, Yining originally wanted to enjoy the best offerings from the whole clan. .

Moreover, Yining is not just an ordinary priest, but a great priest who freed the whole family from hunger and moved towards a better future. He should enjoy the status above everyone, not like now, You have to find an excuse to eat a watermelon, and sneak him out!

Mu Kun looked at the boy who was sitting on the rock and waited eagerly. The summer shirt was thin, and the boy's figure was extremely thin and thin. The delicate face and big eyes were full of childishness and innocence. , more than 2000 people shoulder the burden of survival!

He is still doing so well!

God treats him well, and treats the Mu family well, so that he can meet him!

Mu Kun lowered his eyes, concealing the complicated look in his eyes, and leaned over to pick up the watermelon from the water.

The watermelon had been frozen in the river water in the shade for half an hour. When it was fished out, the dark green stripes were washed by the water, making it look more green and lovely.

The big watermelon, which weighed about twenty catties, was gently lifted by Mu Kun and placed firmly on the stone.Pulling out the dagger, the silver-white blade pressed down gently, and the thin and crisp skin of the melon cracked at the sound, revealing the bright red soil and black seeds inside, the unique sweet smell of watermelon penetrated into the nostrils, Yining's eyes gleamed, and he swallowed involuntarily I took a sip of saliva.

"Hurry up, cut a piece for me first!"

Mu Kun looked at him like a greedy cat, smiled, swiped the dagger a few times, and cut the watermelon into small pieces, but...he cut a "well" knife, and then gave the most central piece to the watermelon. Yining...

Yining choked for a moment, did he not tell Mu Kun about the correct way to cut the watermelon?

Seeing the piece of watermelon that was handed in front of him, which had almost no seed, was thick and watery, and full of texture, Yining thought about it and decided to eat it first.

After biting down, I immediately squinted my eyes happily, oh, this is the taste!Ice cold and refreshing!

Although he loves to eat, his appetite is really not big, he will be full after eating two pieces, but Mu Kun killed all the rest without changing his face.

Looking at the leftover watermelon rind, Yining suddenly remembered that there was a kind of soy bean made from soybeans and watermelon in his previous life. When he was a child, he lived in an orphanage, and life was not very good. When the orphanage was short of money, there were only three soy beans a day. Mantou, a plate of soy beans is considered a dish.

At that time, anyone who could find a piece of watermelon rind from the soy beans would have to be excited for a long time, chewing carefully in his mouth for a long time before he was willing to swallow it.

At that time, eating soy beans made me want to vomit, but the taste of the food has been rooted in the depths of my memory. Now that I think about it, it brings back the glutton in my stomach.

"Mukun, leave some watermelon for me, I'll dry some sauce to eat."

"Using watermelon?" Mu Kun was surprised for a moment, and immediately nodded without waiting for Yining's answer: "Okay."

Now that the Mu clan has a clear division of labor, there is no need for Yining and Mu Kun to keep an eye on them all the time, and they will only be found unless there is a major event, so they have time to go to the river to eat watermelon leisurely.

After eating, the two of them walked back slowly. Fortunately, there are many vegetations in the family land and there are big trees everywhere, so there are many shady places, but the places where the sun directly shines on the ground are already starting to feel hot. Ning didn't walk barefoot, it's just that the soles of his shoes were relatively thin.

Just turning around an intersection, I saw Mu Dong running over, wearing only a pair of big trousers, made of linen, with tight stitches, it looks like a woman's handwriting, it is good to marry a wife.

Just about to say a few words of praise, when he looked up, he saw Mu Dong's face was heavy and stagnant, and the rain was about to come.

"Patriarch, priest, something happened."

After a series of things such as the trip to Shenshan, the annexation of the snake tribe, and the marriage of a wife, and being the head of a section of the snake department, Mu Dong is no longer the boy who was frizzy and frivolous when encountering things. It is a man who has grown into a real man with responsibility and responsibility, a mission and pursuit.

Mu Kun grew up with him and knew Mu Dong very well. He knew that when he showed this expression, the matter was already quite serious, and his heart, which was still relaxed and happy just now, immediately tightened: "Go back and talk about it."

It's too hot outside, the two of them don't care, but Yining's body can't bear it.

After entering the house, the ice basin keeps the temperature in the room at 24 degrees. Although it is not too cool, it is already very cool compared to the high temperature like a steamer outside.

Mu Dong was never polite to Mu Kun. He entered the house and directly grabbed the herbal tea on the table, and after finishing three cups in a row, he took a breath and said, "Someone from the Baishui tribe came to us secretly and asked to join the Mu tribe."

Mu Kun and Yining looked at each other. Although this incident was unexpected, it was not without warning. The appeal has never been resolved, and people in need will always seek their own solutions.Sometimes, the people are like a stream of water. When there are too many people, they will flow downward. If you don’t give them a hole, it will open a hole by itself.

This is called momentum.

Unstoppable!

"Haven't we already discussed this? What's the surprise?"

"But, they came with a group of homeless people." Mu Dong finally said the main point.

"Wanderers! Are there any wanderers here?!" Mu Kun seemed to be a large animal that sensed some kind of danger signal. He tensed all the muscles in an instant, and his sharp eyes locked on Mu Dong. , The strong murderous intent was not concealed at all.

Shocked, Yining took a step back with his eyes wide open, looking at Mu Kun, it was like seeing a dragon whose scales had been touched, or a tiger whose beard had been touched!

What the heck are homeless?How could they have such a big reaction?

Mu Kun immediately noticed his movement, and immediately restrained his momentum, smiled at Yining apologetically, pulled him to sit down, and greeted Mu Dong to let him explain in detail.

But Yining can feel that even though the surface has been relaxed, every muscle in Mu Kun's body is still stiff and tense, like a stone.
