"Meow?" The big cat tugged at the rope around its neck in disgust. What the hell is this?
"This is a curved plow. Just pull it forward." Sang Jiu taught Big Cat the farming techniques inherited from the system, "But you have to go slower. I'll hold the curved plow and walk behind you."
It won't!
The big cat lay down with a confused look on its face and wagged its tail comfortably.
"Don't play dumb, get up and work for me, or I'll make you leave right now." Sang Jiu threatened the big cat, "I won't give you any water to drink."
The big cat got up quickly, meowed, and then pulled the plow forward. It rushed a long distance away at a very fast speed, as if it wanted to finish the work quickly and get some water.
"...😶" Sang Jiu could see that this mutant Maine Coon cat was very clever and scheming.
"Slow down, you're going too fast. A lot of the plowing is not done. I won't give you any water even if you do such a bad job." Sang Jiu chased after it and held down the curved plow, forcing it to work harder with threats and inducements. "If you work hard, I'll give you a few more basins of water later."
A few more pots?
Big Cat was willing to accept it, so he plowed the field again strictly according to Sang Jiu's request. Sang Jiu followed behind him, holding the curved plow. Big Cat was very strong, and he plowed a row of land easily.
"Meow?" After reaching the end, the big cat turned around and looked at Sang Jiu, as if asking if this was the correct?
"That's it. Well done. Turn around and continue the second row." Sang Jiu held the curved plow from behind and made a promise to the cat, "Hurry up and finish plowing this piece of land. You can drink as much water as you want later."
In order to drink clean water, the big cat didn't ask any questions and just move forward !
It twisted its huge body and walked back and forth in the black soil. In less than two hours, it plowed out five acres of land. After plowing, the big cat ran to the well, looked at Sang Jiu eagerly, and asked if he could drink water now.
This time, Sang Jiu scooped out five basins of water for the cat to drink. After the cat finished drinking, it lay down on the open space next to it to rest. The temperature in the protective cover was just right, the air was clean, and the breeze was gentle. Soon, the cat began to snore comfortably.
"You know how to enjoy life." Sang Jiu looked at the black soil that had been plowed. The soil was turned into ridges, but the turned-up soil was in large pieces and needed to be broken up before planting.
Sang Jiu was a lazy person who loved to enjoy herself, so she entered the inheritance system to look for a solution, and soon found a "harrow", which was also a kind of farm tool, specially used to level the land, making the soil soft so that it would be convenient for planting.
Rakes can also be made of wood, which requires carpentry skills. The tables, chairs and benches that Sang Jiu made a few days ago were not made in vain. She just picked up the wood and started making them. They were finished in the evening.
After she finished, the system gave her a reward: [Please choose the reward you want: A: cat shower gel B: five kinds of seeds, C: irrigation system. ]
Sang Jiu chose five kinds of seeds without a doubt, "I want the ones with high yield and fast growth."
The next moment, five kinds of seeds appeared in front of her, including lettuce, water spinach, chayote, potato, and wheat.
In order to eat vegetables and staple food as soon as possible, Sang Jiu put the rake on the big cat again and continued to make big promises to it: "Come on, run a few more laps like you did just now. When we grow food in the future, I will give you soft steamed buns and juicy meat patties to eat."
The big cat didn't notice the word "later", but only heard the word "meat pie". The cat's eyes suddenly brightened, and for the meat pie, it started to work hard again!
"Don't run too fast. Every piece of soil must be raked loose." Sang Jiu always kept in mind the farming requirements of the inheritance system and made sure to clean up these pieces of land!
The big cat meowed and slowed down its speed.
"Turn left. Yes, well done." Sang Jiu followed behind and directed the big cat. The woman and the cat cooperated very well.
Ah Hua and Ah Shu, who came specially to thank Sang Jiu, stood outside, staring at this scene in amazement, "😱!!!"
Are they dreaming?
The brother and sister were so shocked that their jaws dropped😮 and they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
It turned out that the mutant star beasts were really working!
She is so awesome!
She actually ordered the mutant Meowthmon to do her work!
Sang Jiu, who noticed two gazes, turned her head and saw Ah Hua and a dark-skinned young man of the same appearance clinging to the protective shield, their mouths wide open, looking inside in shock.
"Big cat, you can rake it first." Sang Jiu walked to the protective shield, "Ahua? Why are you here?"
"I came to thank you." Ah Hua pulled the brother next to her, "This is my brother Ah Shu. We came here after my brother's foot injury got better."
"Thank you for saving my sister." It was the first time that Ashu saw such a fair and beautiful person. She was very different from the women in the safe zone. After he said this stiffly, he didn't know what to say next.
"Sang Jiu, this is for you." Ah Hua said as she took out two bags of things from her bag, one bag of sand apples and one bag of fresh sand mushrooms, each weighing one kilogram. Sand apple is a kind of fruit that grows in the wilderness. It is extremely drought-resistant and extremely rare. This bag of sand apples was obtained by them using the dried meat they had bought before and a lot of points.
Sand mushrooms are a kind of saprophytic mushrooms found around the safe zone. They grow out of the sand every night and wither and rot after dawn. They taste just okay, but for the useless aliens who have difficulty accessing green vegetables, they are a good thing to improve their lives.
Sand mushroom?
Sang Jiu could vaguely smell the scent of mushrooms. She took it with a smile and said, "I just wanted to eat some vegetables. Thank you."
"Come in quickly." Seeing that the two were covered in sweat, their skin was dark and red, and they were already peeling from being exposed to the sun, Sang Jiu quickly invited them in.
"Okay." Ah Hua stepped inside happily, and cool air instantly hit her face. The pain and fever symptoms after being exposed to the sun were instantly relieved.
In order to avoid the dangers at night, they arrived at the cabin early. They came out before the sun completely set. Ah Hua took a deep breath and whispered to her brother, "Brother, do you believe that the air here is sweet?"
The air outside was turbid and smelled foul. If you smelled it too much, you would be unable to breathe, and many people died because of it. After Ah Shu came in, his respiratory tract, which was always coughing and wheezing, felt much more comfortable, and even the headache that had been bothering him was relieved a lot: "Yeah."
"Drink some water." Sang Jiu walked to the well and drew a bucket of water for the two of them.
The two looked at the clear and clean water with their eyes brightened. They couldn't wait to drink it. The sweet and cool water instantly relieved their dry throats.
After drinking more than ten bowls in a row, the two of them put down the wooden bowls embarrassedly, "Sorry, we are too thirsty and we couldn't help it."
Sang Jiu smiled gently at the two of them: "It's okay, there is still some water left, you can wash your face."
"No, it's such a waste." Ashu was reluctant to wash his face with such clean water. Water resources were scarce on the waste planet. They dug thousands of meters deep underground in the safe zone to dig out a little water, and it was not even as clear and clean as this one.
"It's okay. It's not a waste to pour the used water on the ground to water the vegetables. Use it." Sang Jiu felt that the smell of sweat on the two was stronger than that of the big cat.
"Then I'll wash it." Ah Hua washed her face carefully. After washing, the sunburned area felt much better and it didn't hurt at all. Her face also became a little whiter, and her pretty figure could be vaguely seen.
Ah Shu continued to wash with the water his sister had used. Ah Hua walked to the black soil and took a look: "Sang Jiu, the soil here is different from the outside."
"This is black soil, a good place to grow plants." Sang Jiu kicked the dark soil, "Once the big cat has cleaned up the land, we can start planting."
"Sang Jiu, you dare to let the mutant star beasts help you do work, you are so awesome." Ah Hua had never seen anyone who could drive star beasts to do things before, Sang Jiu was the only one!
Sang Jiu smiled helplessly: "I am too busy to handle so many things, so I had to look for it. It came to me just because it wanted to drink water."
"It's very smart." After washing his face, Ashu came over, "But the star beast is very dangerous, you have to be careful."
Sang Jiu responded with a "OK".
As long as the system is there, nothing should go wrong.
Ah Hua was curious: "What are you going to plant?"
Sang Jiu: "Several kinds of green leafy vegetables, and two things that can be used as staple food."
"Green leafy vegetables!" Ah Hua's eyes lit up frighteningly!
"Sang Jiu, is this green leafy vegetable delicious?"
Sang Jiu nodded: "It's delicious."
"When will you plant it? Can I come and see?" Ah Hua had never seen it before, and neither had Ah Shu.
Their usual food mainly consisted of leftover meat from star beasts brought back by the hunting team. Occasionally, if they were lucky enough, they would pick up sand mushrooms or sand grass to change the taste. They had never eaten vegetables.
But he knew that some people in the safe zone would grow some green sprouts, but they were extremely expensive and required a lot of points to redeem, so only the hunting teams and managers in the safe zone could afford them.
Sang Jiu hummed, "We'll plant after Big Cat finishes raking the land."
Ah Hua said excitedly: "Then I will help you plant it?"
Ah Shu also wanted to see what the vegetable seeds looked like: "You gave us precious water to drink, and we don't know how to thank you, so let us help you do the work."
Seeing that the brother and sister really wanted to help, Sang Jiu didn't refuse politely. It just so happened that no one was helping to plant the five acres of land. "Okay, just plant the three acres that have been sorted out."
After she finished speaking, she handed a hoe to Ah Shu and taught him how to dig wheat pits row by row according to the farming method inherited from the system, leaving some space between each row so that people could come in to water the wheat later.
Ah Hua also took a small shovel and started digging. The brother and sister learned it quickly and did it very efficiently.
Sang Jiu also joined in. With strength in numbers, the three of them quickly dug out three rows of wheat pits. She gave a thumbs up to the Ah Hua siblings and said, "Well done, that's it."
Ah Hua's eyebrows curved when she was praised, while the more introverted Ah Shu had no expression, but the upturned corners of his mouth still revealed a hint of his mood.
The big cat came over after raking the ground, tilted its head and looked at Ah Hua and Ah Shu who were being praised, blinked its light green eyes, then pushed Ah Hua aside and stood next to Sang Jiu, "Meow~"
While barking, it touched Sang Jiu's leg with its paw, motioning her to look at the land it had raked.
Sang Jiu looked at the neatly-kept land and understood instantly: "You've finished raking? Good job!"
The big cat called out happily again, "Can I eat the meat pie now?"
"Want to eat? Wait a little longer. We have to dig out wheat pits in these two acres of land before we can go back to eat." Sang Jiu pointed at the land, "Do you want to try? If you do it quickly, you can have something to eat."
The big cat looked around at the hole everyone was digging, then picked up its claws and started digging, directly digging out a big hole. After digging, it meowed at Sang Jiu, indicating that this was okay.
"...🤦" Sang Jiu stared at the large hole where trees could be planted and waved her hands in disdain: "Digging a hole is a delicate job. Go and take a rest nearby. I'll call you if I need you."
The big cat meowed in confusion, as if asking if it really didn't need help.
"Don't stand on the ground, you're blocking my work." Sang Jiu pushed the big cat away and filled the big hole it had dug.
The big cat was pushed and rolled to the open space next to it, stretching its limbs lazily. It was so cool here that it felt drowsy again.
"Get out of here!" Sang Jiu looked at the ground it had rolled over. The soft ground had been compacted by it. She immediately became furious: "Don't use your multi-ton body to press down the ground here. It's like a steamroller. You've compacted everything!"
The big cat looked at the ground he had compacted, cried out guiltily, and then ran towards the wooden house.
Sang Jiu shook her head and continued digging with Ah Hua and Ah Shu. By midnight, the three of them had finished digging two acres of wheat pits. She was a little hungry, "Let's go back and take a rest and eat some dried meat."
Ah Hua and Ah Shu both shook their heads and said no, "We ate some dried meat when we came here, and there's still a lot left. We have to hurry and do it."
It will probably be almost dawn when we finish the work, and we can return to the safe zone by then.
"There's no rush now, let's take a break." Sang Jiu called the brother and sister back to the wooden house. As soon as they arrived in front of the wooden house, they saw the big cat half-standing with its strong and sturdy body, its head resting on the windowsill, drooling and using its claws to pick at her dried rabbit meat.
When its claws reached the meat, its butt and tail moved excitedly, twisting and turning, a bit coquettish and sexy, but also a bit hot to the eyes. Sang Jiu covered her head🙆 and shouted, "You actually cheated!"
