"Alright, let's stop here first. The depth of this pit is barely enough. "
The village elder looked at the pit that Du Feng dug. It was still a little shallower than a standard pit, and it was a little disappointing, but it was still not bad.
"No, you guys go back to eat first. I must dig it well."
Du Feng's body was already drenched in sweat. His physical strength and the true essence in his dantian had been greatly consumed. However, he was still unconvinced. He believed that he could definitely dig a good pit.
"Young people are quite stubborn. If we don't leave now, we will miss lunch."
At this point, the village elder stretched out his hoe and gently dug the pit that Du Feng had dug. The shape was neat and natural, as if it was newly dug.
"Alright, then let's go back to eat first."
When Du Feng saw this situation, he was embarrassed to continue the stalemate. He looked at the new pits that the village elder had dug. There were already more than a hundred of them. The place where the seeds were sown yesterday actually had sprouts. The plants here were really growing fast.
After thinking about it, it made sense. After all, their farmland area was limited. With so many mouths waiting to eat, if the crops grew well, wouldn't everyone starve to death? The animals in the Endless Domain had basically disappeared. The villagers couldn't go out to hunt, so they could only rely on crops to survive.
Du Feng touched his belly. He was indeed hungry again. Thus, he obediently followed the village elder back. Little Shitou and the rest also followed behind. For some reason, he didn't speak carelessly this time. Instead, he stared at Du Feng and sized him up.
When they returned to the village, Little Shitou rushed into his father's arms and then burst into tears. As he cried, he said, "Big Brother can dig a pit. Big Brother can dig a pit."
What was going on? Wasn't it just digging a pit? And it wasn't deep enough. Was there a need to be so excited?
Du Feng looked at Little Shitou in confusion. He didn't know that all the villagers looked at him excitedly after hearing it. Was digging a pit a big thing? Why was everyone looking at him like this? Especially that delicate middle-aged man, his expression was obviously not right. He shrunk his head and then went to do something else first.
"What are you waiting for? Come and eat."
The village elder called out to them, and everyone went to eat obediently. The rules of the village were very interesting. Instead of returning to their own homes to eat, they would eat together from the same pot. There were a few strong women in charge of cooking, and they cooked a big pot of food.
All the villagers went to get their meals, even the middle-aged man was no exception. Not only did he have to collect food for himself, but he also had to collect food for his children. But for some reason, his expression was unsettled today.
"Young people must be tired. Drink more wine."
When it was time to eat, the village chief began to urge them to drink again. This time, Du Feng threw caution to the wind. Let's drink. Who's afraid of who? If the village elder really wanted to harm him, he could have smashed him to death with a hoe. There was no need for him to use any crafty schemes. Moreover, Du Feng discovered a pattern. It was actually fine even if he drank a lot. As long as he didn't sleep on the brick bed, he wouldn't fall asleep.
Yesterday, Du Feng ate four steamed buns and couldn't eat anymore. Today, he tried his best to eat and actually ate five steamed buns. All kinds of vegetables were delicious, and he drank a lot of wine. He was very happy with the meal. According to the usual rules, it should be sowing in the afternoon.
In fact, sowing was simply too easy for Du Feng. Because the seeds were not as heavy as a hoe, he only needed to throw them accurately into the pit.
After lunch, the village elder suddenly said, "Let them do the sowing. You and I will go fetch water."
That's right. Sowing is such an easy task. It's better to let those with poor physical fitness do it. Besides, if I do all the work, Uncle Wang and Uncle Li won't have any work to do. Du Feng discovered a pattern. Those who did less work in the village were embarrassed to eat more.
Yesterday, because he did a lot of sowing work, Uncle Wang and Uncle Li ate less for dinner when they came back. However, Little Shitou's father, who was responsible for fetching water, ate a lot. In addition, the women who were responsible for cooking and knitting clothes didn't eat much.
Most of them ate the meat that Du Feng gave them. They didn't eat much of the vegetables and steamed buns in the village.
In the beginning, Du Feng thought that everyone ate more meat and less vegetables because they liked to eat meat. However, after experiencing two Cultivation promotions, he didn't think so. The vegetables grown in the farmland were obviously more precious than his own meat.
The output of crops was limited. The villagers ate more meat because meat was indeed more delicious, and it was also to reduce the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
After understanding this, Du Feng was a bit embarrassed to eat more. Therefore, he ate an extra steamed bun and ate less vegetables. However, before he left, the village elder gave him two apples. He told him to eat them on the way, saying that he would be thirsty when fetching water.
Uh … what kind of reason was that? If he would be thirsty when fetching water, then he could just drink water. Did he still need to bring fruits?
Wait a minute! Du Feng suddenly remembered something. After he came to the Endless Domain, he really didn't drink water or see a water source. Because he ate a lot of vegetables, he also felt thirsty. The water he fetched yesterday was used to irrigate the fields, so no one drank it.
Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that everyone usually didn't drink soup. There was some juice that seeped out from the vegetables.
What was going on, could it be that the water here couldn't be drunk directly? Perhaps he was thinking too much. Du Feng shook his confused head and followed the village elder inside.
That's right, the farmland was outside, but fetching water was in the village, and it was even further in than where they had their meals. After walking for a while, only the village head and Du Feng were left in the village. Little Shitou and the group of children followed the adults to sow seeds and water.
Strange, why did he feel that the deeper they walked, the more sinister it felt.
Du Feng couldn't help but shiver. At first, he thought he was mistaken. But as a first rank third level Immortal Emperor, he couldn't possibly be mistaken about such a small thing. As they walked further in, it was even more obvious because even the ground was starting to become slippery.
The path in the village was paved with cobblestones, and once wet, it was really quite slippery. Du Feng circulated his energy to maintain his balance. Looking at the village elder strolling leisurely, he seemed to have long gotten used to this kind of slippery road.
