The people of Fangjiabao didn't expect that so many people would come to Liujin Village, so why did they just leave immediately?

Fang Tingjiang couldn't hold back anymore and called out to Qiao Huaping. Full of suspicion, he said in a rough voice: "You just left like that?"

Qiao Huaping turned around and glanced at him: "Why, you still want to invite us to dinner?"

Fang Tingjiang was shocked. He didn't expect that Qiao Huaping could say such shameless words so casually.

When Qiao Huaping saw the other person, he was stunned again. He laughed and led the person away.

Fang Tingjiang was going crazy!

A group of people from Liujin Village asked the old farmer the way to the barren mountain along the road. The old farmer carried a hoe on his shoulder. When he heard that they were going to the barren mountain, he was a little puzzled: "That place is inaccessible, what are you doing there?"

However, the old farmer looked up and down at the clothes of the people in Liujin Village, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Oh, you came here to escape the famine, right?"

The old farmer was very enthusiastic. He pushed the hoe on his shoulder to the ground and said eloquently: "I can tell you, the original name of the barren mountain is not called barren mountain. Later, some people went to open up wasteland on the barren mountain and wanted to plant some rice. As a result,

Whatever you plant will die. As time went by, that place became known as the Barren Mountain... If you think it's evil, trees can grow in that place, and vines can grow. It's just a kind of food, but it won't survive if you plant it.

How long did it take for the seedlings to die? The land was burned!"

After hearing this, the people in Liujin Village looked at each other.

How can they survive in a place where food cannot be grown?

Qiao Huaping didn't say much, but asked the old farmer carefully how to get to the barren mountain.

The old farmer muttered, "Why don't you listen to the advice?", but he still enthusiastically pointed out the direction for Qiao Huaping and the others.

Qiao Huaping thanked her. Seeing that the little girl was very kind, the old farmer followed up and added: "There are many wild animals on the barren mountain. If you are together, don't be alone."

Qiao Huaping responded and mentally put another label on the wasteland: There are many wild animals (rich hunting resources).

The road to that barren mountain is really not easy to walk.

However, Qiao Huaping and the others have been trekking in the mountains these days, and they are very familiar with the mountain roads no matter how difficult they are to walk.

A few young men drove the road with scythes, as if they had endless energy. They walked for about an hour before they arrived at the barren mountain.

This barren mountain looks far away, but in fact, over two hills, there is another adjacent county town. From a single perspective, it is more convenient to go to Yixiang County town than from the valley in the back mountain.

That is, when Qiao Huaping and the others arrived at the foot of this barren mountain, they were stunned for a moment.

This is a huge mountain top.

It's endless, covered with vegetation. The trees don't block out the sky and the sun, but they also have flowers blooming all over the field, which looks very nice.

Unless the terrain was exactly the same as the road pointed by others before, and they confirmed with the passing hunters again and again that this was a barren mountain, otherwise, it would be hard to believe that this was the legendary barren mountain where no one could grow any crops.

Several farming veterans did not wait for Qiao Huaping's instructions, so they dispersed and went to look at the soil in various places in the mountains.

Several experienced hunters couldn't help but search around in the forest, looking at the excrement, footprints, etc. of wild animals to determine the approximate number of prey in the forest.

Qiao Huaping twisted a handful of soil between his fingers, then led a few young men to climb higher.

This barren mountain is not too high, the road is not too steep, and even the mountain roads and valleys are gentle. On the other side of the barren mountain, a small river like a silver belt flows slowly past. Judging from the trend, it should be a branch of Zhenhe River.

.

Qiao Huaping knew more and more.

Qiao Huaping took the people back the same way.

Several old farmers have returned and are sitting in the shade of the trees, exchanging opinions with each other.

They all had similar opinions - that is, this is a land where vines and shrubs are okay, but the root system of food is delicate, and the land here is really not suitable for growing food - one old farmer even took a bite of the soil.

Taste, shook his head and said: "This is not the kind of smell that can grow food."

Qiao Huaping nodded and asked the other old hunters: "What do you think?"

The old hunters shook their heads and said: "Judging from the traces left in the forest, there are not many wild animals in the mountains, but there should not be many. Although there are more and more people in our village who are good at hunting,

But if we really want to settle here, hunting alone will not be able to support the hundreds of people in our village... A large village cannot rely on hunting to find its way out."

This makes sense too.

Qiao Huaping nodded.

The villagers in Liujin Village all looked at Qiao Huaping: "Ms. Qiao, what do you think?"

Qiao Huaping said: "I already have some ideas about this matter, let's go back and talk about it."

"okay."

Qiao Huaping led the inspection team and hurried back again.

This was also the time when Kankan waited until the sky had darkened before returning to the place where they had temporarily gathered and rested in Liujin Village.

Village Chief Lu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw Qiao Huaping and the others coming back, he hurriedly asked someone to bring water and food, and asked eagerly: "How do you see it? Is the land in the valley the best?"

Some of the old tricks in farming are a bit subconscious and I want to nod.

But they still held back and looked at Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "The first piece of land is the river valley land. Let's eliminate it first. The fertility of the land there is still far from good. Planting food will probably take half the effort with half the effort."

Everyone nodded.

They don't have any opinion on this.

"As for the second piece of land, the land in the back mountain valley, and the barren mountain..." Qiao Huaping said straightforwardly, "My idea may be different from everyone else's. I think the barren mountain may be more suitable for us."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers, including Village Chief Lu, were stunned.

Especially the few farming experts who followed Qiao Huaping out today were anxious: "Ms. Qiao, we can't grow crops in that land, it won't work."

Village Chief Lu also had doubts in his heart.

But out of his trust in Qiao Huaping, he still publicly expressed his position: "Let Mrs. Qiao finish her words first."

This is actually a kind of implicit support status.

Qiao Huaping nodded and said: "I went to see it today. The land in the valley is indeed very fertile. However, such fertile land is very scattered in the valley. The valley looks quite big, but those that can actually be planted

There is not much land, for one thing; secondly, when the county government allocates land, the fertility of the land will definitely be taken into consideration. The valleys are fertile, and each of our households will not be able to grow much.

.In fact, it doesn’t take advantage of much fertile land.”

Qiao Huaping's words were reasonable, and when she spoke, her attitude was very calm, her tone was neither hasty nor impatient, and she had a powerful persuasiveness, which strangely calmed everyone's anxiety.

Many people nodded along.

"But, it's much better than a barren mountain where you can't grow food, right?"

Someone couldn't help but asked.
