Chapter 1076: Autumn Harvest and Rice Cutting

The second day.

Jing Lan opened her eyes from the bed, first dazed for a while, and then as if remembering something, she looked fiercely to the other side.

When the scene of the empty corner came, she couldn't help but panic in her heart and hurried to get up.

When she pushed open the door, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the back standing on the dam.

"You're up so early!"

Luo Chen responded with a "Mm" without looking back, and then asked: "Going to work so early?"

Jing Lan smiled and said: "It's not necessary today. The smoke workshop gave us a holiday, allowing us to clean up the crops in the fields. I plan to take advantage of the coolness before the sun comes out to cut some grain."

Luo Chen realized, and then said naturally: "Let's go together!"

Jing Lan hesitated, looking at Luo Chen's thin and thin back, "But your body?"

"It doesn't matter." Luo Chen turned around and smiled slightly, "Eating and drinking for nothing, I also feel uneasy."

"Is that so..." Jing Lan hesitated, and then said: "Then wait for me a moment, I'll prepare things."

After saying that, she drilled in again.

Luo Chen still stood outside, his expression neither sad nor happy.

Although his body was still far from recovering to its peak, simple activities didn't affect anything.

After all, he had the foundation of a wild beast's physique, how could it be so delicate.

And he also planned to understand the situation in this area by integrating into the life and work of this place, and through Jing Lan would be a good choice.

In a short while, Jing Lan came out wearing a straw hat and carrying a back basket, and there was a faint clinking sound in the back basket while walking.

"Let's go!"

The rice fields belonging to Jing Lan were very far from her home, and most of them were at the foot of the mountain, and most of them were scattered, one piece in the east and one piece in the west.

In Jing Lan's words, many of them were reclaimed by herself.

Luo Chen followed behind Jing Lan, listening to the woman introduce the general situation, his vision always wandering around.

This mountain village was not big, with a total of only thirty or forty households.

The houses were built on the mountains, and the fields were reclaimed along the mountains, overlapping from top to bottom, looking like pieces of crescent moons from a distance.

It was still early, but figures could still be seen working in the fields.

Obviously, these people were like Jing Lan, getting up early and cool to harvest rice. After all, Luo Chen had already learned how hot it was during the day.

Those three peculiar great suns made Luo Chen curious until now.

Could it be that there were three huge stars emitting light and heat around this world?

On the way down, people would greet Jing Lan from time to time, and curious gazes would always fall on Luo Chen.

But no one asked much, as if they had long known about Jing Lan taking in Luo Chen.

This scene, which had become commonplace, made Luo Chen even more confused.

"Is it common for things like me to happen?"

Jing Lan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not often, but it happens occasionally that people in the Great Destruction Realm pick up some strange things from the wild, so over time, no one will ask anything, so as not to cause trouble."

"Strange things?" Luo Chen frowned.

Jing Lan said very naturally: "Yes, living people like you are relatively rare, but other gold, iron, jewelry, weapons, and blades do appear often. Especially after every sky wind blows, the frequency of such things appearing is higher. Some bold ones will even go out to look for treasures during that time, and there are people in Yixian City who specialize in collecting these things at high prices."

Sky Wind!

He heard the name of the three great natural disasters of the Great Destruction Realm again.

Luo Chen remembered that Jing Lan picked him up after a sky wind blew past, but since he woke up, he hadn't seen a sky wind even once until now.

What kind of natural phenomenon was it that would bring a large number of things from the outside world, and even powerful existences like himself?

"Here!"

The woman's footsteps stopped on a ridge, looking at the golden rice growing very well in rows, her tone was extremely joyful.

Obviously, this was a bumper harvest year.

Luo Chen was a bit strange. When Jing Lan went out, she only carried a back basket, which contained sickles, water bottles, and other things, and did not bring tools for threshing. How would they take them back after harvesting?

Jing Lan seemed to see his doubts and explained carefully: "Harvesting sun-facing rice, threshing is very simple, the difficulty lies in cutting the rice. The grain grass is very tough, and it takes a lot of effort to harvest, but if it is cut off, the grain ears only need to be gently pulled to fall off. Later, I will cut the grain, and you just need to pull the grain ears."

During the conversation, she had already put down her things, entered the dry and cracked rice field, bent down, and started cutting the grain.

Luo Chen stood behind, pulling the grain ears of the rice she cut off into the back basket one by one.

During this process, he crushed some grain husks with a little force and put them into his mouth to chew.

"This rice..."

A thoughtful look appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.

In his feeling, this rice contained a little energy. If it could be taken in large quantities, the effect would be no less than the spiritual rice in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Most importantly, the rice produced by this sun-facing rice contained a trace of peculiar extreme yang power.

"Is it related to the three fierce suns shining here every day?"

Getting this discovery, Luo Chen couldn't help but be excited.

Relying on decomposing Source Blood, although it could heal physical injuries, it was ultimately internal consumption.

If there could be a large amount of energy-containing food supplement, it might accelerate the recovery of the state.

And this was just ordinary sun-facing rice planted by ordinary villagers in Qingshan Town. Were there better rice in Yixian City?

Luo Chen thought while nimbly peeling off the grain ears.

Not long after, a heavy panting sound came from his ear.

"Rest for a while!"

Jing Lan straightened her waist, sat on the edge of the field, and picked up a water bottle to swallow it in large gulps.

There were large beads of sweat dripping on her face, and her wheat-colored skin flashed with a healthy luster.

Noticing that Luo Chen was staring at her, Jing Lan was a bit embarrassed and handed over the water bottle.

"Do you want to drink?"

"No."

"Fortunately, you helped this year, otherwise I don't know when I would be busy alone. Everyone hopes that this sun-facing rice will grow better, but if it grows too well, it will be tougher to cut, which is really troublesome!"

Jing Lan sighed while shaking her sore wrists.

Then, she saw Luo Chen pick up a sickle and enter the field.

Jing Lan opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to call Luo Chen, but saw him easily cut down a sun-facing rice plant half a person high.

"This..."

"I'll cut, you are responsible for threshing!"

Luo Chen threw a handful of sun-facing rice aside, his expression as calm as before.

For him, this level of labor was nothing.

Jing Lan's eyes were complex, and she didn't insist anymore. After resting enough, she started Luo Chen's previous work.

Moreover, she not only threshed, but also bundled the remaining rice straw into bundles and placed them in the field.

Noticing Luo Chen's gaze, she explained.

"After drying, these are all very good firewood."

"Oh."

Luo Chen just said "Oh" lightly, and continued to cut the grain on his own.

He moved very fast, almost ten times faster than Jing Lan before, and the not-too-large piece of land was almost harvested before the morning sun rose under his movements.

That back basket was just filled with the grain in this piece of land.

On the way back, Luo Chen took the initiative to carry it on his back and walked up the mountain.

Jing Lan followed behind, her brows and eyes soft, and there was a special taste in her eyes.

On the way, someone greeted Jing Lan again, mostly praising their speed.

After arriving home, Luo Chen poured the grain in the back basket onto the spread bamboo mat, letting the newly risen sun expose it.

"You rest for a while, I'll push the grain flat."

Jing Lan picked up a bamboo rake and pushed a pile of grain hard outside the bamboo mat.

Luo Chen stood on the side, his vision falling on the foot of the mountain, where some figures carrying grain home could be vaguely seen.

He suddenly said: "After the autumn harvest, take me to town!"

Jing Lan was stunned, as if realizing something, her face couldn't help but become complex.

She lowered her head and said softly: "Okay." ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====
