Chapter 248 Preparing to Plant Rice
After what happened with Kerry, the relationship between Qimo and Xiangxiang became better. Moreover, Qimo has also changed a lot and his emotions have become more delicate.
He Jiaojiao's understanding of Mo Ran had improved significantly. When she saw Mo Ran defeat Ke Rui with just one blow of his tail, she was completely shocked.
When I came back and mentioned this to my friends, they all looked disapproving.
"Jiaojiao, do you know that Mo Ran has transformed into a dragon and is only one step away from becoming a divine beast? In this situation, people like us with high star ratings can still survive the battle, but for someone with a low star rating like Kerry, it's already a mercy if he isn't killed on the spot."
He Jiaojiao swallowed with lingering fear, but at the same time, she was very glad that such a powerful Mo Ran belonged to her. As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered what Lan Yu had said before: Mo Ran had been unconscious before, and he might be about to transform into a dragon.
But Mo Ran has been awake for so long, and she hasn't noticed any changes in him!
"what happened?"
Seeing He Jiaojiao staring at him, Mo Ran couldn't help but ask.
"Aran, you slept for so long before, has there been any changes in your body?"
Mo Ran looked at He Jiaojiao in confusion, then felt it for a moment and shook his head, "Nothing has changed!"
He Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little worried. If he had fallen asleep before to accumulate energy for transforming into a dragon, she could understand it. But now he woke up and had no reaction at all. So why did he fall asleep before?
"Azhu, please help Aran take a look!"
Zhuxiongjian He Jiaojiao looked as if he had thought of something, so he stood up and walked over, and injected his supernatural power into Mo Ran's body. After walking around, he took the supernatural power back.
"He's...fine."
Now He Jiaojiao frowned even deeper.
"Jiaojiao, are you worried about what Lan Yu said earlier?"
"What did Lan Yu say?"
As soon as Zhuxiong finished speaking, Mo Ran couldn't wait to ask.
So, He Jiaojiao told Mo Ran what Lan Yu had said before. Mo Ran was also surprised to learn that he might turn into a dragon when he fell asleep, but did not react after waking up.
Although he was asleep at the time, he would occasionally be conscious. He only felt that the fluctuations of supernatural powers in his body were particularly large, and several times he was sweating in pain. But after waking up, all these symptoms disappeared.
"Aran, you should be more careful recently. I'm a little worried."
He Jiaojiao held Mo Ran's hand, snuggled in his arms, and said with a worried look on her face.
"Well, Jiaojiao, don't worry, I'm fine." Mo Ran's slightly cool hand gently stroked He Jiaojiao's head, playing with her soft hair. "Besides, they are the ones doing the hunting now, I will be fine."
After hearing what Mo Ran said, He Jiaojiao felt much more relieved.
Lan Yu hadn't returned since he went to the stone house arranged by Zhu Xiong. This was fine for He Jiaojiao, as she didn't know how to face Lan Yu.
As the days passed, He Jiaojiao suddenly discovered that the rice she cultivated in the space had actually sprouted and grown very lushly, forming a large, green patch.
"Azhu, is there any place near our tribe with plenty of water and moist soil?"
Zhu Xiong nodded. "Yes, in the valley to the east, water flows down from the mountain all year round, making the land there wet."
"Jiaojiao, what do you want to do?"
He Jiaojiao smiled mysteriously, thinking that with so many seedlings in the space, she should be able to grow a lot of rice, so she asked Zhuxiong to spread the news that she was going to grow rice to see if there were any other orcs who wanted to try it.
With the previous experience in the vegetable garden as a lesson, the orcs who got the news rushed to the door of He Jiaojiao's stone house.
He Jiaojiao was a little shocked when she saw the huge crowd of people at the door. She hadn't expected so many people to come, and she thought the rice seedlings in the space should be enough for her to share. But with so many people coming, she didn't have enough rice seedlings at all!
"We don't have much prepared this time, and we're still in the experimental stage. You guys should discuss it and leave some of the beasts behind, and the others can go back first! If the harvest is good, I promise to let everyone present participate in next year's monsoon season."
After all, Zhu Xiong was the clan leader, and he had a high prestige in Wanshou City. Since he said so, everyone had no choice but to discuss it on the spot. In the end, there were only about dozens of beasts left scattered around.
This matter was originally caused by He Jiaojiao's own lack of consideration. Although there were still a few more beasts, everyone could still get some.
"Let's go!"
He Jiaojiao smiled and gave an order.
Everyone went home to get their farm tools, and then followed He Jiaojiao out of the Beast City and headed east to the valley. Suddenly, many of the onlookers followed, wanting to see what new tricks the Saint Female had come up with.
The group arrived at the valley that Zhuxiong mentioned. He Jiaojiao went down to the field to take a look. The soil here was indeed moist, and there was a constant supply of water in the ditch next to it, which was perfect for growing rice.
So He Jiaojiao gave an order and all the animals started waving their hoes and digging the ground.
According to He Jiaojiao's requirements, the center of the field should be lower, and there should be higher ridges around it. Fortunately, everyone had the experience from last time, and this time they quickly dug out the field according to He Jiaojiao's requirements.
Looking at the field in front of her that had taken shape, He Jiaojiao was very satisfied. She then directed everyone to bring in all the water from the mountain, and then from top to bottom, when the first field was almost filled with water, they would dig up some ridges to let the water flow to the lower fields below. In this way, in half a day, every field was filled with water.
"Jiaojiao, with so much water, how can we grow anything?"
Lin Feng came to He Jiaojiao and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
He Jiaojiao looked up and couldn't help laughing. She motioned Lin Feng to lower his head, and then while no one was paying attention, she took out a piece of clean animal skin from the space and wiped off the mud spots on Lin Feng's face bit by bit.
The other friends watched and calmly rubbed the mud on their hands onto their faces. Then they began to move closer to He Jiaojiao, intentionally or unintentionally.
At first, He Jiaojiao didn't think much of it, she just thought they were all very hard-working, and gradually she found something wrong. Some of them had just been wiped, but they came back dirty again after a while.
"You guys..." He Jiaojiao angrily looked at the couples who were already lined up in front of her, "You guys did this on purpose, didn't you?"
When they saw that He Jiaojiao had finally discovered it, they couldn't help laughing.
"Humph, I'm angry!"
He Jiaojiao clasped her hands across her chest angrily and turned her face away.
Seeing He Jiaojiao being so cute and funny, the friends couldn't help laughing again.
