Surviving In The Ancient Times With Limitless Supplies
Chapter 286: Preparing The Soil

Chapter 286: Preparing The Soil

Xu Xiang watched with interest how the villagers successfully moved the five large water turbines to the river. Although the technology in this world is very backward, from the performance of the villagers just now, she realized that the human beings in this world only need opportunities to grow and develop their world by themselves. All she needs to do is give them a little push, and provide opportunities for them.

Mu Yucheng noticed the changes in her expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Xiang let out a sigh and said, "I just realized that my thoughts are very arrogant."

"What do you mean?" He asked again.

Xu Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "I used to think that the human beings in this world needed my help in everything, just because they lacked knowledge and supplies. Unknowingly, I had put their standing below me. I also underestimated their worth and power as human beings. Just because I got better knowledge and supplies than them, I forgot that every living being in the world should be treated equally. It’s really scary to have power if I can’t control myself and fail to remind myself not to get carried away."

After listening to her words, Mu Yucheng patted her on the head, and said gently: "It’s good that you can realize your mistakes before it’s too late."

When he looked at Xu Xiang, pride and gratitude flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, before Xu Xiang could see it, those feelings had already disappeared from Mu Yucheng’s eyes.

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang smiled and held his hand that was patting her head. "Mhm."

It didn’t take long for the villagers to install the water turbines according to Huan Yun’s instructions. When the water turbines are placed in the river, Huan Yun directs the villagers to arrange the waterway made of bamboo to channel the water to farmland.

After Huan Yun unplugged the stopper on the water turbines, the river flow began to push the turbine. Seeing the water slowly flowing through the waterway to the farmland, the villagers couldn’t help cheering with excitement.

Huan Yun watched the water turbines for a while to make sure that there were no problems with the water turbines and the waterway, then looked at Xu Xiang and gave her a thumbs up. Soon, the dry farmland was slowly wetted by the river water. Looking at the happy and excited villagers, the corners of Xu Xiang’s mouth also raised slightly.

Followed by the villagers of Mei Hua Village, Han Yizi approached Xu Xiang, Huan Yun, Mu Yucheng, and Hu Wenfeng. Standing in front of the four of them, Han Yize bowed deeply, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Venerable Master, Young Ladies, and Young Master, for saving our village."

Xu Xiang nodded and said calmly: "Old Grandpa, this is just the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do."

Han Yizi straightened up his waist, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Yes, Young Lady is right. Please feel free to let us know what should be done next."

Seeing the light in their eyes, Xu Xiang smiled and took out twenty big barrels of lake water. She pointed to the barrels and said, "The next step is to prepare the soil. This is the special water I prepared to bring the land back to life. Please use this water to water the land evenly. Remember, if you don’t want to die, don’t drink this water without permission."

Although her lake water is not poisonous and has healing properties, for these weak and sick villagers, her pure lake water can kill them because of the strong medicinal effect and rich spiritual energy contained in it. As for whether they heeded her warning or not, that was not her problem. If they drank the lake water and died after she warned them, then that means they reap what they sow.

Hearing what she said, Han Yizi nodded quickly and said, "I will guarantee that no one will drink this water."

Xu Xiang looked at the other villagers and found that they were all looking at the barrels in horror and awe. Knowing that the villagers already knew the consequences of drinking the lake water, she looked at Da Niu and said, "Big Brother, I am very satisfied with the water turbines and your working speed."

Da Niu smiled and said, "It’s good as long as the Young Lady is satisfied."

Now that the goods have been delivered, it’s time to pay him. Xu Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Big Brother, do you want to accept payments here or at your home?"

Thinking that Xu Xiang could take out a lot of things with a wave of her hand, Da Niu chose to go to his house to receive the payment. This will save him the trouble of carrying supplies back to his house, and also to keep the villagers from other villages from having a bad idea about ​​his things.

If someone with malicious intent came to steal from him, then he couldn’t pay his brothers’ wages. It wasn’t just him and his family who could die in the end, but everyone who lost their wages would die too. This kind of risk, he really didn’t want and didn’t dare to take it.

After Xu Xiang followed Da Niu back to his home, Han Yizi and other villagers started watering the farmland with the lake water. Not far away from the farmland, a family of three looked at the busy villagers with envious eyes.

A young woman held her little daughter’s hand, looked at her husband and asked, "Husband, shall we also go to the Venerable Master and beg them to help our village?"

Her husband looked thoughtfully at the farmland. He didn’t answer his wife’s question, but just silently watched the villagers work. Seeing that her husband did not speak, the woman also stopped talking, and stood there with her little daughter.
