There is Qingshi Town in the west of Jiangnan, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has simple folk customs. Chen Yan is the only son of the Chen family in Zhennan. He graduated from the University of Agriculture and returned to his hometown.
The land in the town has been classified as a transfer area, and the ancestral fields will be bulldozed and replanted with cash crops. The Chen family's farming for generations is facing an end.
After returning home on a rainy night, he dug out half a burnt scrap of a scroll from the camphor wood box in his ancestral home, and unexpectedly got a golden finger.
The residual scroll is as warm as a living thing, and can reveal the lines of earth veins, guide the flow of underground ditches, ancient wells and groundwater, and awaken the memory of the land.
It can resonate with blood, manifest ancient farming techniques, repair water conservancy systems, and even activate lost farming wisdom.
Chen Yan used it to raise rice seedlings to prevent floods, preserve his ancestral fields, and allow old varieties to produce stable and high yields in extreme weather.
The villagers still depend on the sky for food, and the companies in the city are busy enclosing land. Only he can hear the whispers of the land and hold the key to recovery.
He will rebuild the water conservancy covenant between the Chen and Zhao clans, awaken the dragon god of the earth, and protect the foundation of farming for thousands of years.
One day, he will bring the entire Jiangnan fields back to life and grow the legendary seven-color rice ears.
