Chapter 271 Farming Is Hard

The orcs who came early had already finished sowing the seeds, and were carrying stone basins back and forth to fetch water from the river.

Bai Qingqing stood on her stone basin and looked at the river and said, "It's so far away. It's okay to water it now. What will happen then?"

Parker carefully buried a seed and replied: "The light rainy season is coming. If the rainy season comes late, you can only scoop water from the river."

"It's really hard work." Bai Qingqing immediately thought of digging a ditch to bring the water here, but soon found that the terrain here was higher than the river and the land was relatively dry, so the ditching method was not feasible.

But since there is a rainy season, water supply is not a big problem, so Bai Qingqing didn't think much about it.

Curtis put an arm around Bai Qingqing's waist, took her off the stone basin, and said, "I'll water it."

"Um."

The three males worked together and spent half a day planting the rice.

Little Vincent also received a large bag weighing several dozen kilograms. Seeing that there was a lot of open space here, Bai Qingqing asked them to plant wheat here.

Wheat is sown very casually. You open small trenches, scatter the seeds evenly, cover them with soil, and water them again. These tasks are easy for a male with endless energy, and he can finish them in less than half an hour.

Looking at the renovated land, Bai Qingqing had a hopeful smile on her face.

The cold season has just ended, and it is difficult to find food in the forest. Many birds are flying over this land. They are habitual offenders who steal seeds all year round. They all know the pits and choose places with pits to settle. Although the birds are small, they can't stand the large number. They chirp around the field pit, as annoying as flies.

Fortunately, Bai Qingqing's flat wheat field has not been discovered yet.

Bai Qingqing became worried, "I hope the seeds won't be eaten by birds."

"No, I'll be watching over you." Parker sat down on the ground, looking like he wasn't ready to leave.

Bai Qingqing glanced at Parker, "You don't want to wait for the seeds to germinate, do you?"

As she said that, she looked at the other orcs, and found that those orcs who had finished their work had not left. They turned into beasts and lay down beside the field to rest. Whenever a bird flew down, she got up and chased it away.

Bai Qingqing said in disbelief: "Do you really want to keep guarding me?"

"It's all grown this way." Parker pretended to be mature and authentic. "Not only now, more birds eat the rice when it is mature. There are also animals eating the seedlings during the growth period, so there must be someone watching the fields at all times."

Bai Qingqing's expression froze. No wonder farming was hard work. It was really hard work!

Vincent, who had been silent, said, "You and I take turns guarding."

It seemed that because there were so many people in their area, the birds did not dare to come at first. Then a courageous little bird flew over. Before Parker could catch it, he heard a "pop" sound, and a young snake jumped up and grabbed the bird.

Several small snakes around were jealous and swam over to fight for the bird. The snake that caught the bird quickly swallowed the bird into its throat.

Bai Qingqing laughed and said, "It seems we don't have to."

Curtis looked at Bai Qingqing, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and said with a smile: "Then leave them here."

Bai Qingqing shook her head, "I don't worry about them being outside, just let them have a meal here." She said with a confident smile, "I thought of a better way."

"any solution?"

"Follow me." Bai Qingqing waved to Curtis and Vincent and walked towards the river. Parker and the snakes stayed in the field.
