Chapter 68 Yellow Flag Barrier

Time has passed quietly, and it has been nearly three months since Roland Hill came to this area.

Sunlight is difficult to enter in the valley, and only a little reflection falls into it, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The time is already May. Compared with before, there have been a few light rains recently, which made the surrounding of the valley a little wet. Many residents are rushing to the season to plant a local black barley. Although the yield of this crop is not high. High, but fortunately it can adapt to this cold and barren environment, so it is planted by the majority of residents.

In the morning, Roland Hill put on a light black veil and came out of the shrine, walked a few steps in the valley, turned a few corners, and came to a narrow plank road hidden behind a boulder.

The hard stone steps go up along the plank road, leading directly to the outside of the valley. But such a plank road is too steep, and it takes considerable courage for ordinary people to walk on it.

Fortunately, the girl can fly now, so naturally she will not be as afraid of heights as she was in her previous life. She supported the icy iron rope beside the plank road and walked up step by step. As for those two birds, they had already flown into the sky and played everywhere, and it is estimated that they will return to Roland Hill in a while.

Going up slowly along the plank road, the houses and figures in the valley below are also getting smaller and smaller in the field of vision. If you watch it for a long time, you may have the illusion and panic of jumping.

The girl withdrew her gaze from overlooking, moved her gaze back to the plank road in front of her, and continued to climb.

About ten minutes later, this twisty and steep plank road finally came to an end, and the green field gradually appeared on the horizon in the field of vision, and then came into view.

Because it just rained, the black barley grew well in the field, and it pulled out green shoots, which was very pleasing to look at.

There is a rare depression here. In the early morning, some residents will pick up the rainwater accumulated in the valley to water the barley so that it will not become thirsty. By the end of August, the barley will probably be mature. .

Because there is a layer of black husk in the ear of the grain, which is different from the wheat in the outside world, it is called black barley, which is actually a variety of wheat.

After the harvest, the residents will cut off the ears and then store them up. This is the year's grain storage.

It is not as good as those fertile areas that can be grown three times a year. In the mountains at dusk, it is very difficult to grow once a year. Sometimes you have to consider the lack of water, the attack of monsters, the outbreak of the Nine Netherworld Qi, etc. The output often has to be hit again. fold.

After standing on the hillside and looking at the green seedlings below, Loren Hill continued to walk. At this time, it was about 10 o'clock in the morning. There were only a few people in the field, walking around wearing bamboo hats, patrolling the field, removing weeds, turning over fallen seedlings and so on.

Loren Hill also moved forward along the narrow ridge, ready to take a closer look.

Light-colored shoes stepped on the soft soil and overwhelmed the weeds on the ridge. After arriving at a newly sprouted field, the girl squatted down carefully to keep her clothes from getting wet, and then carefully looked at the grass in front of her. Seedlings come.

The light blue magic power extends along the seedling, clearly showing its internal structure and growth in his mind. Later, Loren Hill also analyzed the direction of improvement of these grains.

After a long time, she replanted a seedling and stood up.

If you want to modify this variety to make it more productive, it is not impossible. However, the magnitude of the increase in production is not so surprising.

The so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, limited by the influence of land, climate, external factors and other factors, no matter how good the variety is, it cannot double its output.

The soil's fertility is limited, the girl thought. It would be a good way to take out the old [Crimson Alfalfa], increase the soil fertility here, and rotate the planting.

Unfortunately, after rebirth, many things were lost. If she wanted to get that special alfalfa, she had to remake it. Unfortunately, there was no original version of alfalfa here.

This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. I am afraid I can only go to other states and counties in the future to see if there is alfalfa. No matter how bad it is, I have to wait for her to return to the Western Continent and fetch the seeds there.

After thinking about it, Roland Hill gradually walked to the end of the field. When I looked up, I saw a simple fence in front of me, not so much a fence as it was a rope with some banners hanging from it.

An unknown mantra was printed with blue dye on the yellow scarf, exuding a faint special breath.

This is.... Before the girl could find out the answer from her memory, a girl's voice sounded beside her.

"Is Master Jialan inspecting Fanjie?" The voice was a little immature and green.

Roland Hill turned back and saw a fifteen-year-old girl standing behind her, holding a basket in her hand, and in it were many yellow flags, the same as those hanging on the rope.

"These are all made by my mother, so I occasionally come over to help." Seeing that Roland Hill didn't speak, the girl also explained anxiously, for fear of causing the adult's displeasure.

"Well, in fact, I came here to take a look at random, and I didn't mean to check." The girl shook her head and asked.

"What's the use of these banners, they don't look like decorations to me."

"This is very useful." Hearing Roland Hill asked her, the little girl explained with a little pride.

"After these yellow flags are hung here, ordinary ghosts and monsters will not come over. This way, we can avoid damaging the crops."

Similar to scarecrow? Roland Hill thought to herself, at this time she also recalled, in fact, there are similar things behind the shrine, but Granny Gloria arranged it more formally and stronger, and she didn't think of the agreement between the two for a while.

The two continued to talk, and Lorraine Hill gradually learned that it turned out that the girl's mother

Jin used to be a student of Granny Gloria, and used to work at a shrine. It was only later that he got married and moved out.

"Although my mother doesn't go to the shrine now, she still finds time to do these things to help everyone resist the attacks of those bad guys."

The two walked beside the border of the flags on the edge of the field. The little girl took off the damaged yellow flags from time to time and replaced them with the good ones in the basket.

"How many levels of ghosts and monsters can this be isolated from?" Roland Hill asked, looking at the little girl in front of him who untied the banner.

"I don't know, but I heard from my mother that powerful monsters are definitely not acceptable, but they can drive away ordinary low-level monsters. It's like a very annoying thing, and ordinary ghosts will not unconsciously approach."

"Although it is not very powerful, for ordinary people like us, it can also change a lot, and the food production will be higher."

"If it's really bad luck and encounters a powerful monster attack, it can only be said to be destiny." The girl shook her head, although she was young, she was very sensible and would not be naive to think that everything would be safe.

"...That, Mr. Jialan, is Granny Geluo healthy now?" The girl seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally asking.

"It's pretty good." The girl recalled the usual appearance of Granny Geluo. Although she was old, she did not look like that with inconvenient legs and feet.

"Huh, that's fine." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that Roland Hill was puzzled, so she explained it in detail.

It turned out that her mother had helped work in the shrine when she was young, and Granny Geluo taught her a lot of knowledge, and successfully trained her to become a Sequence 4 dragon witch. Unfortunately, when her mother was in her 20s, she met a handsome young man, the girl's father.

"...Later, my mother married my father and left the shrine. Although Granny Gloria never blamed her, my mother always felt guilty because she kept her relationship with her father hidden from Granny Gloria, And her departure also made the shrine less people to support, and also wasted the hard work of Granny Geluo's teaching for many years."

"Because I was naughty when I was a child, I always liked to cry. My mother was very troublesome to raise it, and my plan to return to the shrine to continue to help was disrupted several times. After a long time, coupled with the changes in the world, my own strength completely regressed, and there is no more Go back to see Granny Gloria's courage."

There was a hint of unease in the girl's voice, feeling that it was because of herself that her mother became like this.

"I see." Roland Hill replied softly.

"...Hey, what does Master Jialan know?" The girl raised her head in surprise, puzzled.

"I know your mood and feelings." Roland Hill replied.

"This...that..." The girl was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, I will carefully inquire about Granny Gloria's opinion of your mother." Roland Hill said.

After the two walked the rest of the way, Roland Hill also helped the girl hang the yellow flags until the borders of the fields outside the valley were checked.

"Okay, let's go here today."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ground, plated the girl's soft hair with a touch of gold, and the two stood on the edge of the cliff in the valley to say goodbye.

"Thank you, Sister Jialan, for your help." The girl bent over to thank him. It turns out that this adult is not as indifferent as rumored.

"It's nothing, wait for my news tomorrow. Let's meet here." Roland Hill waved.

"Yeah." The girl nodded happily.

Seeing this, Roland Hill leaned back and fell directly into the valley below.

The girl opened her mouth in surprise and wanted to step forward to see the situation. At this moment, a soft air flow hit her, directly lifting her up and falling into the valley below.

The two birds spread their wings and flew from behind the girl, and the air they brought up supported her and fell into the deep valley below. The wind whistled in his ears, and in front of him was a scene he had never seen before.

It turned out that the valley was overlooked from above, and there were so many special places, and the little girl had a burst of novelty and surprise in her heart. After circling around the valley, her body slowly fell to the ground with the airflow.

Looking back, the two special birds were already flying high towards the other end of the valley. On the steps in front of the shrine, a young girl wearing a black feather coat was smiling and waving her goodbye, the ends of her hair glowing a little beautiful silver in the setting sun.
