Later problems were that many of his food had mildew, which he had later found a solution to this problem. As Li Lun protected the seeds a priest came giving him the other piece of the flag. Later Li Lun woke up and found his flag he had placed to scare birds was ripped and that two plants were eaten by rats. Second there were many rats who wanted the seeds. During his long waiting of growing the rice he goes through many challenges.įirst challenge is that there were many seagulls wanting the rice. When morning rose Lin Lun started planting the seeds and placing the soil Sun Ling has given him. Li Lun then finds a cave before dark and finds that it is quite lonely. During his trip Li Lun tries to feel brave and proud. Li Lun says goodbye and starts his journey. Sung Ling tells him that he must grow the rice for one hundred and twenty days. While she does this Li Lun wonders how to grow rice and his mother tells him that Sun Ling might know. His mother was packing his food and clothing. Li Lun lives here with his three younger brothers and a baby sister, two cats, and three ducks. Li Lun then prepares his journey at his house in the village of Three Firs.


After the fight Teng Lun tells Li Lun that he must climb to the top of Lao Shan and plant seven rice seeds and Li Lun can only come back if he has brought seven times more seeds. Li Lun is then found by his father Teng Lun.
