As their number increased, they suffered a gradual  decline in natural food. With fewer birds and beasts to hunt or wild  fruits to pick, they began to starve. Just at that time a tender-hearted  leader, Yandi, emerged.<\/p>\n<p>Yandi was born during a drought when most of weeds and trees  withered. Catching sight of the newborn baby, the starving people were  stupefied; for this baby was a monster with bull head and human body. As  soon as he was born, he opened his eyes, lights from which lit up the  thatched cottage. Seeing the parched lips of people surrounding him, he  said, &quot;Go and drink, there are wells outside.&quot; A little skeptical,  people walked out of the cottage and came in view of nine wells, which  were connected with each other. If they drew water from one well, the  water in the other eight would also respond. People were delighted.  However, after a while, people found that water was not enough for their  situation, because they still need something to eat. Raising his  bullhead, Yandi cried to the sky, &quot;Dear gods, food are little and people  are starving!&quot; Then something strange happened &#8211; a snowfall of food  fell from the heaven.<\/p>\n<p>With the food people were able to sustain life. However, half a year  later, the food from heaven was running out and people turned to Yandi  again. Bringing out agricultural tools invented all by himself, Yandi  said, &quot;Go make tools after these models. And I&#8217;ll show you how to grow  crops when you finish. You shall never starve.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In a month, using their agricultural tools, people brought a vast  piece of land into cultivation under Yandi&#8217;s supervision. Suddenly a big  red bird, with nine-eared seedling in its mouth, showed up in the sky.  It hovered above the field and ears of the grains fell in profusion. In  no time tall crops grew from the field. That kind of crops could not  only satisfy people&#8217;s hunger but also turn them into immortals.<\/p>\n<p>Since it was Yandi who taught people how to grow crops and thus  brought agriculture to the earth, people also called Yandi the Holy  Farmer to show their respect for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1673220056\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human beings, created by the goddess Nv Wa,  multiplied rapidly.
