Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 163 Inspecting the Villa

Shen Li stood there, his brows furrowed, his mind racing.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea. The scene in the forest of Qingshan Village instantly appeared before her eyes, especially Wolf Xiaoliu, his majestic father, and the pack of more than twenty wolves.

She clearly remembered that by chance, these wolves had their intelligence awakened by her, becoming human-like and able to understand some simple commands and intentions.

Shen Li thought, if we could gather these wolves to the vicinity of the villa and let them take on the responsibility of guarding the villa, wouldn’t that be perfect?

Their agile bodies, keen sense of smell and hearing are enough to detect any abnormalities before danger comes.

With the protection of this group of wolves, those wild beasts that attempt to break into the villa and harm the farmers will probably have to think twice before doing so.

Moreover, they have a strong sense of territory in the mountains and forests. They will protect the villa as if it were their own nest and will do their best to do so.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible, and her worries gradually dissipated.

Shen Li secretly decided to find a suitable time to go to the forest of Qingshan Village, have a good communication with Wolf Xiaoliu's father and his wolf pack, and tell them his ideas. He believed that with the special connection between them, this group of wolves would gladly agree to become the most loyal guardians of the farmers in the villa. In this way, the safety of the villa could be greatly guaranteed, and the farmers could work with peace of mind without having to worry about the invasion of wild beasts.

Shen Li had already made up her mind to go to the mountain to look for the silver wolf after returning. She stopped hesitating and turned around to follow Sun Ying to check the farm.

The farm looked quite large, with houses arranged in an orderly manner. However, some places had a run-down air, as if they had not been properly taken care of for a long time.

They first walked into a room where miscellaneous items were stored. The room was filled with a stale smell, and dust was flying in the light coming through the crack in the door.

Sun Ying introduced the house as she walked, "Originally, this house was used to store farm tools, but many of them are broken now, and there's no time to repair or replace them."

Shen Li frowned slightly, his eyes sweeping over the rusty hoes and sickles piled in the corner, secretly wondering when this farm had been neglected.

Then, they came to the backyard, where there was a medium-sized vegetable patch. However, the vegetables in the patch were growing sparsely at the moment, obviously due to lack of care.

Shen Li squatted down, gently poked the skinny seedlings, and asked Sun Ying, "Who used to take care of this vegetable patch? How did it become like this?" Sun Ying sighed helplessly and said, "There was an old tenant who helped take care of it before, but he later returned to the village due to poor health. The farm was short of manpower, so this vegetable patch has been left abandoned."

Shen Li stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and looking at the scene in the backyard, he felt more and more that the farm needed to be renovated. When the time came, he could plant the fruit trees and various fruit crops in the space, and then he could eat rare fruits with justification in the future.

When she thought of this, her eyes became more expectant and her pace quickened. She continued to follow Sun Ying to other places in the manor, wanting to find out the situation of the entire manor as soon as possible.

They walked slowly in the village, checking every place.

Shen Li's eyes sparkled like stars, not missing any corner.

When she reached a place, she suddenly stopped, her vision suddenly opened up, and a vast open space came into view.

This open space is about ten acres in size, but the scene in front of me is really unsatisfactory.

There were jagged rocks on the ground, as if a group of giant beasts with bared fangs and claws were lurking here, wantonly occupying this land.

The land is overgrown with weeds, which are extremely lush and sway gently in the breeze, as if showing off their "sovereignty" over the land.

There are also tall and short, thick and thin shrubs mixed in, which are distributed in clusters here and there, making the land look even more messy.

Shen Li frowned slightly, and those two curved eyebrows seemed to be able to squeeze out water. She couldn't help but think in her heart: Such a large piece of land is really a waste!

In her eyes, this open space should be full of vitality and hope, or planted with crops, presenting a golden field (waves of wheat) during the harvest season;

It could have been developed into an exquisite garden, with flowers blooming and butterflies fluttering all year round. But it is such a pity to see it in such a desolate state now.

Seeing this, Sun Ying hurried forward, with a look of helplessness and bitterness on her face, and explained: "Miss, there are only a dozen farmers on the farm, old and young, and they have already done their best to manage those dozens of acres of land.

This piece of wasteland is so difficult to cultivate, and we really have no ability to do it." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, his eyes full of helplessness towards this empty land and a sense of powerlessness towards the current situation.

At this moment, Bai Jin walked forward with a steady pace, a faint smile on his face, his eyes revealing wisdom and composure, and said to Shen Li: "Girl, have you forgotten that there is a group of people building the ancestral hall at home? When the craftsmen finish the construction of the house, they can come here to deal with it!"

When Shen Li heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, like a bright light suddenly lit in the darkness, and her mind suddenly became clear.

She tilted her head slightly, pondering Bai Jin's words carefully. After a moment, a delighted smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten about them. Although this piece of land is difficult to cultivate, under the hands of skilled craftsmen, it will surely be transformed into something magical."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of excitement and anticipation, as if she had already seen the new future of this vacant land, the desolation would be replaced by prosperity, and the chaos would be replaced by order.
