"You want to reclaim that wasteland in the back mountain?"

"Nothing grows except weeds in that piece of sand. What's the use of smoking it?" The village chief knocked on the pipe in his hand and questioned.

Yi Mingxue did not express her thoughts directly, "I just want to give it a try. I don't know whether it will work or not."

Seeing that the village chief seemed concerned, she added, "I see that it is a waste to leave that mountain barren. If we can really grow something, it will be a good thing for our village..."

"...But what's wrong?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Not really, that mountain was originally shared by us and the neighboring Longmen Village. But our village has few people and weak resources, so the fertile North Mountain belonged to them, leaving us with the West Mountain, which is barely hairy."

The two villages had a lot of conflicts because of this incident, but in the end it was settled.

For this reason, that barren mountain has simply become a pillar of shame for their village.

People in the village didn't even bother to take a second look at it even when they passed by.

"Although the mountain is deserted now, it belongs to the whole village after all." The village chief was confused.

Yi Mingxue understood what the village chief meant, "Well, what do you think? I will pay a tael of silver to cover this barren mountain. If I succeed in planting in the end, I will pay 20% of the harvest to the village; if I fail, I will bear all the losses myself."

, the rent will be returned.”

"This..." The village chief didn't expect such a good thing.

The two of them agreed on this.

Yi Mingxue was cautious and asked the village chief to write a certificate on the spot.

Only then did he pay the rent and leave the village chief's house.

In less than two days, all the money earned was spent.

Yi Mingxue sighed.

On the road, I met several women from the village who were talking about Uncle Yi's family.

It is said that after her uncle and cousin drank the fecal water, they vomited all night and finally vomited out the toxins in their stomachs.

There is nothing wrong with the person, but he has lost his face.

Her uncle had several broken bones, so Mrs. Yi took the initiative and invited a doctor from the town to come and set the bones.

Although his life is saved now, even if he is finally cured, the root cause of the disease will probably be left behind.

Not only that, in order to save him, almost all the family's savings were spent.

She was so distressed that her uncle cried and screamed at home every day, clamoring for a divorce.

Yi Mingxue didn't care about these troubles in their family. She just hoped that after learning this lesson, she would not trouble their siblings again.

As soon as she returned home, Yi Mingxue went to see her sick horse.

Now we can no longer call it a sick horse. After taking several strong medicines, it has obviously improved.

Not only can I eat a trough of feed today, but I can also stand up and walk around in circles for a few times.

Yi Mingxue was very happy when she saw this.

She exchanged a bucket of water for it while talking to it.

"You have to get well soon, you know? I'm still counting on you to make money to support the family!"

At this time, Yi Tianlei and Yi Baoer ran out playing.

The two brothers chased each other and had a great time.

Yi Baoer ran staggeringly ahead, and when he saw Yi Mingxue, he threw himself into her arms.

She kept giggling, "Ah! Big sister, hurry up and save Bao'er. Fourth brother is going to play wolf to catch Bao'er!"

Yi Tianlei, wearing a wolf's skin, chased after him, and he cooperated very cooperatively and let out a wolf howl.

Yi Mingxue grinned, "Be careful, don't fall."

The two little carrots were laughing and making a fuss, and Yi Tianlei was running around the yard like a monkey.

Yi Bao'er, on the other hand, saw Yi Mingxue preparing to feed the horse, and suddenly pulled her sleeve, making a milky sound.

"Big sister, Dongdong said it wants to eat/concentrate feed, but it doesn't like to eat these hay."

"What?" Yi Mingxue didn't react for a moment.

She pinched Bao'er's little face and couldn't help laughing, "Who is Dongdong?"

As a result, Yi Baoer raised his hand and pointed at the sick horse, and said innocently, "That's it. Dongdong said it himself. Its previous owner named it Dongdong."

Yi Mingxue didn't take what he said seriously at all, she just thought it was a child who named the horse by himself.

She even agreed to him smoothly and said, "Okay, what else did Dongdong tell you?"

Yi Baoer tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then said, "He also said that if eldest sister wants it to get better quickly and help the family make money, it's best to sprinkle some salt on its feed."

Yi Mingxue's hand movements froze, and she originally just thought it was childish.

But how could a two-year-old baby say such things?

She couldn't help but look seriously at her sixth brother.

Shen Sheng probed, "Then did it say why it sprinkled salt in the feed?"

Yi Baoer obviously didn't know why, so he walked directly to the sick horse and started to 'communicate' with it in a serious manner.

After a while, he turned to Yi Mingxue and said, "Dongdong just said that it will get better faster if you eat salt!"

Yi Mingxue felt a little magical.

But then she thought about it, this is the world of fiction.

Even if someone really can communicate with animals, it seems... normal?

After all, I still have space and water powers.

After accepting Yi Baoer's special ability, she quickly pulled Xiaotuanzi aside and asked in a low voice, "Besides Dongdong, what other small animals can you talk to?"

Yi Baoer counted the numbers on his fingers and said the last thing innocently.

"There's the Xiaohua family from Aunt Li's house next door, and the rhubarb in the village; by the way... there's also the big ox that I met by the river last time I went to town, but he didn't tell me what his name was.

name."

"..."

Although she had been mentally prepared, Yi Mingxue was still shocked.

She quickly looked around, but luckily there was no one else around except Yi Tianlei, who was running in and out of the yard wearing wolf skin.

"Besides eldest sister, does anyone else know that you can communicate with small animals?"

"No more." Yi Baoer shook his head.

Yi Mingxue breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good! Bao'er, listen to the eldest sister, you must never tell a third person about this matter. And you must never show your ability in front of strangers."

Yi Baoer didn't know why, but he nodded obediently.

Yi Mingxue quickly carried her sixth brother into the house. Today's unexpected gain was really quite big.

After settling Yi Baoer, Yi Mingxue returned to her temporary stable.

According to Yi Baoer's request, she replaced it with concentrated feed and sprinkled a thin layer of salt on the feed.

When the horse saw this, he immediately lowered his head and started eating.

It's like I've been waiting for her to do this.

Yi Mingxue thought for a while, then reached out and patted the horse's head.

"Since Bao'er said your name is Dongdong, I will call you Dongdong from now on."

"Dongdong, Bao'er's abilities are too dangerous and can easily bring disaster to him. If you can understand what I say, remember to protect him in the future."

Dongdong didn't respond to her, just lowered his head and kept eating the salted feed.

It seemed as if everything just now was just Yi Mingxue's illusion.
