Looking at the people carrying buckets and pushing carts on the road, Mu Yangling asked Liu Ting, "You call this not many people?"
"Don't be dissatisfied." Liu Ting said, "In a while, it will be more crowded, making it difficult to even walk. If we don't water the fields in time, we'll miss the timing for grain filling[1] and the wheat grains will be deflated, resulting in a dismal output. So, we can't rest at all now. If it weren't for Little General's order to stay away from the reservoir after seven o'clock, I'm afraid everyone would have watered their fields all night."
The first time Mu Yangling went to the reservoir, Liu Ting had already been running around for two days. The river and reservoir were about the same distance from their land. Instead of running to the river first before running to the reservoir, it was better to familiarize herself with the journey from the reservoir to the field from the beginning.
