Chapter 61: Get Moving
I am sincerely grateful that Liu Xiu was once a rural child. He was not unfamiliar with all farm tools. Even because he was once poor, he gradually began to help his family with farm work since he was six years old.
Thinking of his childhood experience, Liu Xiu couldn't help but smile in memory.
At the age of five or six, I started to learn to herd cattle and cut pig grass, and at the age of eighty or ninety, I started to chop wood and carry water. At the age of eleven or twelve, I followed my father to rush the ox to the fields and plow the fields...
He never complained that his parents did not give him superior material conditions for living. It is definitely not empty talk for poor children to become a family early. He knows how difficult it is for parents. Don’t they want to make life easier? But their abilities and knowledge are limited. Apart from geography and food, they do not have the ability, capital and courage to take risks and pursue things that are not within their abilities.
Therefore, parents put their hopes in the next generation, and no matter how hard or tired they are, they will try their best to let Liu Xiu and his sister study...
Now thinking about it, if it weren't for those experiences, how could he understand that every bit of it was hard to come by, how could he understand that it was better to rely on his own hands down to complain about the world and how could he know that it was better to cherish what he had now than to complain about the injustice of society.
He has suffered, and later became rich, and has experienced hardships, intrigues, and has been indulged in luxury. He has become indifferent to it. Instead of pursuing infinite desires with his limited life, it is better to cherish the present and enjoy the present.
So, he began to pursue the life he wanted, and then one day he came to this world for no reason...
All the past flashed through my mind like a passing cloud. Liu Xiu rubbed his slightly sour eyes and began to think about the problem of creating a plough.
The structure of the plow is not complicated. Liu Xiu once operated it himself, so it is not difficult to build it. Except for a plow tip that requires metal, everything else can be replaced by a wooden structure.
The tip of the plow is an arc-shaped triangle, which makes it easier to cut into the ground. Considering that the white-patterned black tiger is used to replace the plowing ox, its power is undoubtedly much larger than that of the strong plowing ox, so Liu Xiu thought that the tip of the plow needs to be appropriately enlarged.
Other wooden structure parts are also very simple. At most, a simple mechanical structure is added to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the plow tip. It is not difficult to create after a little thought.
In addition to plowing the plough, Liu Xiu thought about it and had to build a sled, which would facilitate the leveling of the ground. Of course, the work of dragging the sled was still handed over to the big tiger.
The structure of the sledge is simpler. The wood creates a flat frame and nails a half-foot-long metal cone on it, which is simpler than the structure of a plough.
Thinking clearly what to build, Liu Xiu immediately started to act. Spring came, and he seemed like a real farmer, feeling that every minute of the busy farming season was very urgent.
He had not much metal. Considering that the soil solar energy was almost useless with hot springs, Liu Xiu simply removed the iron box to build ploughs and sledges.
With this kind of knocking and beating, he built a complete set of ploughs and sledges in three days, which were all increased by several sizes, specially prepared for the white-patterned black tiger.
The things were built and the snow on the plains had almost melted. Liu Xiu went out to find the purple-patterned black tiger, and he had to turn the ground first to facilitate subsequent farming.
It is not difficult to find a big tiger, but Liu Xiu is already familiar with it.
The purple-patterned black tiger was ready to settle down as soon as he saw Liu Xiu, thinking that Liu Xiu was playing the erhu again and was about to torture it. In the past few months, it has become accustomed to it. It is impossible to resist and will be beaten.
"I won't torture you today. Let's go and work with me." Liu Xiu patted the big tiger as well as a cat and smiled.
In love, he himself knew that the erhu he played was a torture...
The big tiger is unclear, so it is natural that Liu Xiu will not play the erhu. He was secretly happy inside, and finally he didn't have to suffer any more?
After a brief "communication", Liu Xiu rode on the back of the white-patterned black tiger and directed it towards the plain.
However, after almost reaching the plain, the white-patterned black tiger stopped moving forward no matter what, lying on the ground and trembling all over, allowing Liu Xiu to coerce and induce him to do nothing.
Soon Liu Xiu realized that feelings were afraid of their neighbors, which was a bit difficult.
On the one hand, if the tiger is afraid of the neighbor, on the other hand, will the neighbor run out and swallow it?
It's entirely possible!
After thinking about it, Liu Xiu decided to get the tiger over first. He would not be able to let go of such a labor force. If the neighbors come out, they can see if they can communicate. If they cannot, they will send the tiger away and think of other solutions.
As for whether the tiger can let the neighbor leave alive after going there, Liu Xiu has not considered this issue for the time being...
Therefore, the tiger was lying on the ground and refused to leave. Liu Xiu grabbed its scalp and dragged it over. Even if the tiger was caught by the tiger on the ground and on the trees it passed, it was useless. Liu Xiu's strength was too great.
When Liu Xiu dragged the tiger to the plain, as expected, the giant python in the lake showed its head immediately, staring at this side with dark golden eyes, and the terrifying aura was a little scared.
"This is not edible. I specially found a helper for arable land to make things easier?" Liu Xiu stood in front of the tiger and looked at the neighbors and discussed carefully.
He was not worried about his safety. After all, after being a neighbor for so long, Liu Xiu was a little familiar with the giant python. He was worried about the tiger. If he was eaten in one bite, where would he find such labor? Especially the sledge made based on its size would have to be in vain.
The giant python stared at this side, not knowing whether he understood Liu Xiu's words or felt that the tiger was not threatening, or that the tiger that Liu Xiu dragged in like a dog-like dog might be his newly found "toy". In short, the giant python slowly sank into the bottom of the water in the end.
Subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and Liu Xiu felt relieved. Every time he met his neighbor, he put a lot of pressure on him.
His physical fitness is growing steadily every day, and it seems that there is no limit, especially now that he has been so long, Liu Xiu cannot estimate where his limit is, but facing the giant python, he still feels that there is a huge gap between the two sides...
"Okay, don't be afraid, it won't eat you." The giant python sank into the bottom of the water, Liu Xiu turned around and patted the tiger's head and said.
From beginning to end, the big tiger lay on the ground and shivered, and even covered its head with a pair of front paws, as if the giant python could not see it.
The tiger dared not move, as if he hadn't heard Liu Xiu's words at all, and he was shaking on his own. It was useless to say anything. Liu Xiu's mouth twitched, and finally he simply took the plow and put it on his body. He held a bamboo strip in his hand and sucked its butt like a ox and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, move it for me!"
When the tiger did not move, Liu Xiu continued to suck and gradually increased his strength.
Gradually, the tiger suffered a pain, and then realized that he was not dead, so he got up and ran away from this place.
Liu Xiu laughed and mastered the plow in his hand. When the tiger exerted force, he just cut the metal part at the front into the ground.
The tiger can't care about this. In terms of its size, the depth of the plow cut into the ground is not very burdensome at all, and it still runs very fast.
In this way, a thousand-meter-long trace was plowed out on the plain within a short while, and the soil was turned over. Some small stones were directly smashed by the metal plow tips, and Mars flashed from time to time.
After estimating that the distance was almost the same, Liu Xiu suddenly pulled the reins in his hand, and the tough reins made of old vine fibers instantly collapsed straight. The tiger's strength was far inferior to Liu Xiu, and he was pulled and staggered and moved directly in a direction.
"Continue, move!" Liu Xiu quickly challenged the angle of the plow and urged the tiger's butt with a bamboo strip.
Then, the tiger continued to run wildly, as if the guy was already scared after facing the giant python. At this moment, he was panicked at all.
Under the control of Liu Xiu's brute force, the tiger's running route was moving in the direction he planned, and the ground was plowing rapidly.
But, after all, tigers are not plowing oxes, they are fierce but their endurance is really not very good. They are exhausted after an hour, and they are lying on the ground with their tongues straight on the ground.
After looking at the plain that had been slid into 2000 meters long and 30 meters wide, Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, patted the tiger's head and said, "Stay for two hours, continue in the afternoon, and eat something to restore your strength."
As he said that, Liu Xiusong took off the plough on the tiger's body, and was not afraid of it running away. He was preparing to cook and reward himself. After thinking about it, he couldn't treat the tiger badly, so he ran to the forest to catch a five-meter-long black wolf and threw it back...
After one day, the tiger was so tired that it looked like a dead dog. If it could speak, it would definitely scold the devil Liu Xiu. I am the king of the forest. Where can I be a cow? No matter how bad you are, you should let me guard the house.
After being tired, the tiger also accepted its fate. It also realized the fact that the giant python did not eat it, and was not as scared as it was at the beginning.
As a result, three days later, the tiger planted Liu Xiu's land that was about a kilometer long and wide and leveled it with a sled, so the guy just stopped leaving.
"My neighbor doesn't eat you for my sake. There are no natural enemies here. If you want to eat, go to the deep forest not far away to hunt. It is indeed a good living environment. You are not leaving yet. You are smart." Liu Xiu smiled and cursed at the lazy tiger basking in the sun.
Then, Liu Xiu was confused when he saw a large area that had been flattened.
The length and width are about 1,000 meters. How many things do you need to plant?
And the most important thing is that this place was originally a plain with lush grass, but now there are countless weeds. When will I go to clean it up?
Also, with such a large area and no mechanized operation, I want to plant it all over the crops alone, am I busy with me?
