As soon as Ah Jiu pulled away the soil, she found that only the upper layer of soil was moist.

When you dig further, the soil is still dry.

The rain fell too hard and fast, and was not as penetrating as light rain.

Listening to the discussions of the villagers, Ah Jiu couldn't help feeling that the vassal king of Nanming City was still very humane, and maybe he could actually get some seeds.

"Sister Ajiu, let's not worry. Don't you have seeds?" Tuoba Yan squatted next to Ajiu and said.

"Only some watermelons, pomegranates and peaches have been planted, but they cannot be used as food."

If you want to live here temporarily, you must first consider growing food in the long term.

"Sister Ajiu, you can grow pomegranates, watermelons, peaches, etc., and then trade them for food, right?"

Tuoba Yan said with an unburdened expression.

Ah Jiu's eyes lit up, yes.

But he soon realized that this was not going to work: "You are stupid. All the people have no food seeds. Who can we exchange them with?"

"Sister Ajiu, you don't know as much as I do this time."

Tuoba Yan said mysteriously and confidently:

"I am a soldier in the city, and there is food in the military granary. I heard what they said, and we must not run out of food no matter what."

Ah Jiu thought it made sense when he said this. Even if a few people starve to death, the army's food supply cannot be cut off.

If the army is cut off, it means that it has no defense capability, and is open to attack by other feudal lords.

"Then what you mean is that I will grow the fruits and use them to exchange for some military rations as seeds, so that I will have food, right?"

Ah Jiu laughed and patted Tuoba Yan on the shoulder: "I really don't know as much as you this time."

"That's right." Tuoba Yan patted his chest majestically: "I have gained experience this time. How about Sister Ajiu, I can still help."

"Yes!" Ah Jiu held her chin and looked at Tuoba Yan with a silly smile: "That's it, it's decided. Anyway, you are very comfortable being a fake now. Let's plant it at night, and you can bring it into the city early tomorrow morning to exchange for food.

"

"I'll take care of this." Tuoba Yan couldn't help but smile happily.

In the evening, the effects of Croton finally wore off, but Cai Lihua was already exhausted.

Ajiu was afraid that eating too much fruit would cause diarrhea, so he simply lit a fire and boiled a pot of hot spiritual spring water:

"Mom, drink some hot tea to warm your stomach." Actually, it would be better if I put a little more salt in it.

"Give it to me." Meng Shaode never left his wife. He took the bowl and looked at Cai Lihua with a sad face:

"If this happens again next time, will you give it to me and I will eat it?"

"What's the difference between what you eat and what I eat?" Cai Lihua sat up, clutching her stomach, her face turned white and yellow.

When everyone fell asleep, Ah Jiu just went out and saw Tuoba Yan already sitting at the door waiting.

"Walk."

The two men, one tall and one short, disappeared into the darkness one after another.

There was no moonlight tonight, so Xiao Yanyan followed closely behind Ah Jiu. Her eyesight was particularly good, and she followed Sister Ah Jiu without stepping into any trap.

Ah Jiu glanced at the deserted village, squatted down and said, "Dig a hole and let me see if you can plant it."

"It's not a big deal." Tuoba Yan skillfully took the horn knife from Ah Jiu's hand and manipulated it with fierce force like a tiger.

He stuck his butt out and backed away from the pit, and more than ten people ran out in an instant.

Ah Jiu took out a few stored peach stones from his arms and threw them into the pit. He also planted a few pomegranates and a watermelon behind him.

Spiritual spring water was poured into each pit, and Ah Jiu sat aside with his chin in his hands and began to wait.

"Sister Ah Jiu, the stars are beautiful today." Tuobayan scholar Ah Jiu squatted beside her and looked up.

"Yeah, maybe it's because of the rain. It feels like the sky is a lot cleaner." Ah Jiu said and suddenly remembered something important:

"Xiao Yanyan, there should be no shortage of salt in your military camp."

"Shortage, how can there be no shortage?"

Ah Jiu's heart sank. Even the military camp was short of salt: "It stands to reason that there will be no shortage. Salt will make you stronger and easier to fight."
