Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15991 Sanyang River

That evening, when Huo Lei led everyone to the tavern, they found that Lu Yi was already there. As soon as he saw Lu Yi, Huo Lei immediately smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you're here too? Perfect timing, we all received spirit stones today, let's have a drink here, why don't you join us for a drink too?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi laughed heartily and said, "Great! I was just about to have a drink with everyone too." Wu Lingfeng naturally sat down next to Lu Yi, and the two chatted. At this time, Huo Lei had already asked the owner to serve the dishes, and the owner also smiled and had people serve them wine and food. Before long, the tavern became lively.

After drinking for a while, Lu Yi and Wu Lingfeng went to the side and chatted quietly. No one suspected them; they already knew each other, so it was normal for them to chat together. The others were also chatting with people they knew, so of course no one paid any attention to them.

Wu Lingfeng then asked with a smile, "How is it? Has that shop owner made any unusual moves lately?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "No, I've been keeping an eye on him these past few days, and he hasn't made any unusual moves."

Wu Lingfeng said, "Could it be that he also has a communication array, so he doesn't need to do anything, just send messages?"

"That's possible. If that's the case, then it will be even more difficult to deal with. Even if they make any unusual moves, we wouldn't know. After all, we're not their employees, we can't live in their shop, and we can't keep an eye on them all the time."

"That's all we can do now. You keep an eye on him. I've joined the Blue Wolf Gang now and can't quit easily. We have another mission tomorrow, so I'll have to leave this to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. If he does anything unusual, I will notify the sect immediately."

"Well, hopefully we'll get some news from here soon so we can go back sooner. Otherwise, we'll just have to stay here and watch."

The two of them had smiles on their faces as they spoke, just like two close friends chatting. There was nothing particularly special about what they were saying, but their expressions were completely different from what they were saying.

That night, everyone drank quite a bit of wine. After they finished drinking, they left. Wu Lingfeng and the others returned to the courtyard, and nothing more was said that night.

The next day, Huo Lei led everyone away from the compound. This time, their target was one of the major rivers in the Qingmu Sect, called the Three Sheep River.

The reason this river has such a strange name is because when it was first discovered, three magical goats were found drinking water in the river. These three goats were very powerful, and it is said that the ancestors of the Qingmu Sect spent a lot of effort to kill them. So the river was named the Three Goats River.

The Three Sheep River is one of the most famous rivers on the Greenwood Continent. It is over two hundred miles wide and ten thousand miles long.

There are quite a few gangs making a living along the Sanyang River. What those gangs do here is actually the same thing: gather water plants. Their work is the same as that of the Green Wolf Gang.

When Huo Lei and his group arrived at the Sanyang River, they found that some people were already busy at work. Upon seeing this, Huo Lei frowned. He knew very well that the people who made a living here all had their own territories. If they were to fight in the river, it would definitely cause a conflict. Therefore, Huo Lei did not let everyone make a move. Instead, he turned to the Green Wolf Gang members and said, "You guys wait here for a moment. We'll go take a look ahead. Li Tong, Lao Wu, you come with me."

The two nodded and followed Huo Lei forward. When they were still some distance from the riverbank, two rogue cultivators approached. Huo Lei immediately stopped and waited for them. The two cultivators quickly came to them. The one in the lead was a tall, thin cultivator in his forties. He was taken aback when he saw Huo Lei, then smiled and said, "It's Boss Huo! What brings you here today?"

Upon seeing the other party, Huo Lei smiled and said, "Boss Gong, so this is your territory. We just handed in our mission yesterday and were appreciated by the bigwigs of the Green Wood Sect. They asked us to come and collect water plants, so here we are. But we've never collected water plants before, so we don't really know the rules here. We didn't dare to act rashly, so we wanted to come and see how things went. It's really great to meet you, Boss Gong. Could you please tell me, Brother Ying, what are the rules for making a living in the Three Sheep River?" Upon hearing Huo Lei's words, Boss Gong couldn't help but smile and say, "So that's how it is. Congratulations! To be honest, there aren't many rules for making a living in the Three Sheep River. Do you see here? Every twenty li is a boundary. Every twenty li of the river, there will be a small gang harvesting water plants. Everyone earns a hard-earned living. This area of ​​the river is completely occupied. If you want to harvest water plants, you'll have to go further away. How about this, I'll take you a bit further ahead and help you find a section of the river. Don't worry, harvesting water plants may seem easy, but it's actually very hard work. People making a living here won't have any conflicts. There's no need for that. Anyway, no matter how much water plant we harvest, the Green Wood Sect will buy it all. There's no competition at all, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Huo Lei quickly said, "Thank you very much, Boss Gong. How about I treat you to drinks tonight?"

Boss Gong laughed and said, "Alright, let's go have a drink together tonight. Come on, I'll take you there." Huo Lei quickly agreed, and then led Li Tong and Wu Lingfeng to fly up with Boss Gong. Boss Gong led them downstream, and along the way they passed through the territories of several gangs. With Boss Gong's introduction, Huo Lei also greeted the people of those gangs, which can be considered as becoming a familiar face.

This is actually very important. Having a casual acquaintance is better than having no acquaintance at all. Fortunately, two of the gang leaders knew Huo Lei because they met when they besieged that demonic cultivator. It was naturally easier for acquaintances to greet each other.

After flying for about a hundred miles, Boss Gong pointed to a section of the river and said to Huo Lei, "This is the river where no one lives. In fact, there are many rivers like this in the Azure Wood Continent. It's not just the Three Sheep River where people make a living; there are people making a living in other rivers as well. And this river wasn't chosen randomly. You see, the water in this section of the river is darker, which means there might be more aquatic plants in this section. Of course, there might also be monsters in this river, so you have to be careful. This section of the river is quite long, so you can start working here. But tomorrow, you should put two wooden signs here to let others know that this place is owned. That way, other people who want to make a living here will let you pass through this section of the river."

Huo Lei quickly expressed his gratitude. He had never known what Boss Gong had said before, and Boss Gong telling him was already a great help to them.

Boss Gong shook his head. After chatting with Huo Lei and the others for a few more minutes, he turned and left. After all, he had his own sect to keep an eye on and couldn't stay here forever.

Huo Lei glanced at the section of the river and then said, "Old Wu, go into the woods and get two wooden signs to mark out the area. Li Tong, go and bring everyone else over. We'll start work today."

Both of them responded and immediately got to work. Huo Lei glanced around and then breathed a sigh of relief. This was their territory from now on, the territory they depended on for survival. A sense of belonging inexplicably rose in his heart.

Meanwhile, Wu Lingfeng went directly into the forest, chose a relatively thick and sturdy tree, cut it down, cut the trunk in two, put it into his spatial equipment, and returned to the riverbank. Once there, he released one section of the trunk, then swung his sword to remove the bark, trimmed it, and shaped the trunk into a square with a pointed end. He then drove the trunk into the mud by the riverbank and carved the words "Azure Wolf" on it.

At this moment, Huo Lei also arrived. He also saw the two characters. Upon seeing them, Huo Lei couldn't help but smile and say, "Not bad, twenty miles apart, let's erect another one."

Wu Lingfeng responded and then flew twenty miles away, where he erected a sign. This meant that this section of the river was now theirs. If anyone else tried to take over their territory, they would be provoking them, and they would be able to retaliate.

After everything was ready, Li Tong arrived with his men. Once everyone was there, Huo Lei glanced at them and said, "As you can see, this section of the river is now our territory. Has anyone here ever collected water plants before?"

Everyone shook their heads. None of them had ever joined a gang before, and the job of harvesting water plants was usually controlled by gangs, so none of them had ever harvested water plants before and had no experience.

Seeing that no one had any experience, Huo Lei was also a little troubled. At this moment, Wu Lingfeng spoke up: "Brother Huo, do you know what kind of aquatic plants the Qingmu Sect wants to collect?"

Huo Lei nodded and said, "Of course I know that."

Wu Lingfeng said, "Good to know. You lead a group of people down to collect the water plants first, and the rest of you stay on the shore to keep watch. After you come up, let those of us who have never collected water plants before see what kind of water plants we're collecting. Then we'll go down and collect them too. That's fine. It's okay if you haven't collected them before; everyone will gain experience gradually." The others all nodded. They had indeed never collected water plants before, but they believed that as long as they knew what kind of water plants they were collecting, they would definitely be able to do the job well.

These people are actually honest folks. Unless they are pushed to the limit, they won't get into conflicts with others. As long as there is no conflict with them, they are still happy to work for spirit stones. They are not afraid of working. Even if someone doesn't let them work peacefully, if you don't let me work peacefully, then I can only kill you first and then go to work. This is actually the original intention of many gangs.
