Chapter 26: There is a time to gather and disperse, develop the valley

Yun Yue was depressed. She didn't even have the interest in trying such a meal in the past, but now it has become a rare delicacy. She is becoming more and more eager to change the status quo.

On the third day after New Year's Eve, Yun Chujie and his friends braved the wind and snow, and left Taoyuan Village with a pile of bottles and jars. When they walked, they were clear and the sun was shining. If the weather was so clear, it would be safer for them to walk in the mountains.

Yun Yue thought about it all over the place, turned around and locked herself in the pharmacy, either flipping through books or fiddling in the space all day long. In addition to these, she learned the upbringing that women should have from Nanshi, and her life would be fulfilling.

In March, the snow in the village began to melt, as if the earth was rejuvenated overnight. The village, which was still white yesterday, changed into clothes in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yue's shoes were wet when she got up in the first step when she stepped out of the room. However, she was not annoyed. She was as excited as a bird flying out of the cage. She shouted happily in the yard: "Looking, looking forward to it, the east wind is coming, and the pace of spring is approaching. Everything is like just waking up, and she opens her eyes happily. The mountains are moist, the water is rising, and the sun's face is blushing..."

Gu Chen, outside the yard wall, stopped hearing the sound, as if he was infected by the laughter in the yard, and a look of hope appeared on his face.

Tang was busy working in the kitchen. When he heard the cheerful voice of his little granddaughter, the smile on his face never stopped. He murmured: "I don't know who taught him, it's really interesting to read!"

The village chiefs also heard Yun Yue's excited voice, and the old men laughed happily. Yun Jiutian sighed: "There are still a few little babies at home to be angry!"

The village chief nodded in agreement, and said to Yun Jiutian and the other three: "Since the snow has melted, our plan can also be implemented!"

At noon that day, villagers gathered in the square. Yun Jiuchong and others, including the Tang women, all went out. Yun Yue was curious and joined in the fun. When she went out, she found that Liu Mingrou and others were all there. It seemed that everyone in the village could go.

Yun Yue approached Liu Mingrou and reached out to hug her. Yun Chutian glanced at her angrily, picked her up and put it on her shoulders, but she really didn't see her.

Yun Jiuchong was too lazy to talk nonsense to Yun Chutian, so he simply turned around and said to the village chief: "The people are almost the same, so you can start."

The village chief nodded and said carefully: "It's spring and it's snowing. We'll start working from tomorrow. But this year, everyone's task is quite arduous. I believe everyone has heard of it before. We plan to develop the lake. It just so happened that Lei Zi and the others brought back a lot of seeds, so we can grow our own food in the future."

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and many people were already sharpening their knives and ready to run towards the valley.

The village chief smiled and stopped the riots of the villagers, and changed the subject, "But the land near the lake is limited, and the total amount of land can be used for only 20 to 30 acres. Even if it is used to grow grain, it is not enough for our entire village to chew it a year. Besides, you may have a lot of food here. In order to make everyone eat enough, we plan to develop the valley, grow some grain, and some medicinal materials, and divert water from the lake. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers gathered together in groups of three or three to discuss. Yun Yue, who was sitting on Yun Chutian's shoulder, was not surprised. The village chief's decision was as expected, but she did not expect that half of the fields in the valley would be divided into planting food.

Someone asked, "Miss Minister, it is a good thing to develop a valley. We have no objection. But if the valley is developed, people will have to watch it from time to time to prevent the little animals in the mountains from stealing food."

This involves the issue of the guards.

Seeing the heated discussion among the crowd, the village chief spoke, "We have thought about this issue, there are cliffs around the valley, and only the side where we enter is a gentle slope. The cliff is a natural barrier that can prevent beasts from entering. As for preventing those hares and pheasants from getting some medicine.

As for the side without a cliff, we have thought about it. Everyone worked together to build a wall and fence the side. That's all, so that it's fine. Then build a few stone houses in the valley, so that the guards can live there with peace of mind."

Yun Jiutian volunteered: "Brother, if the house in the valley is built, I want to move it over. You can set up another pharmacy for me and I will live there for a long time in the future."

The village chief was startled and looked at Ye, who looked helpless, "Brother, I advised him. He has been thinking about this since you intend to develop the valley. Since he wants to go, let him go. At worst, I can go there with him."

Yun Jiutian looked at Ye with gratitude and apology, and deep affection.

Yun Yue was shocked by their mutual support and tacit understanding, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The village chief silently and whispered: "Have you discussed with Chu Kuang?"

Yun Jiutian looked at his son and glared at him. Yun Chukuang immediately expressed his opinion, "Uncle, if my father wants to go, I can't control him!"

Yun Yue silently labeled Yun Chukuang with a cowardly label. This character is completely inconsistent with his name!

The village chief was speechless. Since the whole family had no objection, he naturally couldn't stop him anymore, so the matter of Yun Jiutian and his wife settling in the valley was decided like this.

The busy days always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Yun Yue followed Yun Yue to the valley again and found that there had been earth-shaking changes here. The dense weeds in the past were all cleaned up, and the ground was filled with renovated soil. There was almost no weed in the entire valley. As for those herbs, they were transplanted out by Yun Jiutian.

Without weeds, the road to the lake was much shorter. When Yun Yue arrived by the lake, she found that there seemed to be an earthquake here. The uneven gentle slopes around her were gone. The small animals that used to gather in the river water by the lake did not even have a shadow, and even the big trees were cut down.

Yun Yue twitched the corners of her mouth, and she sighed at the "destructive power" of human beings again!

Among these busy villagers, there was someone who attracted Yun Yue's attention.

"Brother Chen is fishing?" Yun Yue asked crisply behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen turned around suddenly, as if he was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Yun Yue sat next to Gu Chen with a swagger and said with confidence: "I discovered this valley and lake, why can't I come?"
