Chapter 1173 - 1179: Return to the Palace (4)
After several days in Lingbei, most of the things in the Space had been removed. Not only were the original objects left in Lingbei, but almost all of the crops were harvested and kept there as well.
Because of the scarcity of food in Lingbei, which mainly consisted of beef, mutton, and highland barley flour, Zhao Yun and the other hundred people found it hard to adjust their diets. Cai Wei thus harvested all the grains and cabbages from the Space for them and fished a lot of fish and shrimp from Lingxi River. She had them kept in basins for improving their diet later on.
She also left all the medicinal materials that were planted in the land for the Medical Center in Lingbei. If the Yishan Hall in the Capital ran out of medicine, they could buy some from other medical centers, but the one in Lingbei was the only facility around. Without medicine, they would have been left helpless, so Cai Wei didn’t hesitate to leave all the medicinal materials behind in the hopes of aiding the people of Lingbei!
Now, the fields in the Space were empty, except for a little grove and a patch of blooming Green Manzi, you would hardly find another crop.
After a good meal and rest, Cai Wei started the hard work of farming with Chang Mei.
Farming is actually a task that nourishes one’s character and temperament. Many ancient sages once secluded themselves in forests and led a life of personal farming. In Cai Wei’s time, many successful white-collar and golden-collar workers also gave up high-paying jobs in big cities to return to the deep mountains and lead a simple farming life.
Cai Wei was also deeply engrossed in this labor. When the dark soil was plowed open and seeds were sown and buried, it gave a sense of sowing hope, producing a beautiful anticipation!
She kept working until the evening and finally finished planting all the crops.
