Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 215 215. Travel in the Desert ([-])
"Could it be that they want to get away with nothing?" Peng Lei said, "They say they are buying, but the price is probably not high, right? I think they may want to fool Uncle Hu, buy these timber at a low price, and then sell them again. Make double the profit."

"It's not impossible." Dong Mingzhe nodded.

"Uncle Hu, do they often come to harass you?" Lao Tian said, "Next time you dare to come, we will take care of them for you!"

……

The players followed Lao Hu and started the daily life of planting trees and herding sheep in the saline-alkali land.

Planting trees is the main job, and herding sheep is the side job, because sometimes they are happy to catch up with Lao Hu, and they can sharpen their knives.

The sheep that have been grazed by myself taste really delicious.

Saline-alkali land is also divided into light saline-alkali land, moderate saline-alkali land, and heavy saline-alkali land.

Saline-alkali soil is the general term for salt soil and alkaline soil.

Each of them is distinguished according to the different components contained in the soil, and targeted soil improvement is carried out to plant plants with high soil tolerance.

Although Lao Hu cannot speak some professional academic words, the planting experience accumulated through continuous practice and sweat over the long years is more valuable than anything else.

Lao Hu's life has not been too comfortable recently.

The sheep were tended, the rice cooked, the trees planted, and the sheep dung and eggs were neatly collected, with little need for his intervention.

Every day, he puts his hands behind his back and holds a large enamel vat filled with wolfberry grown in Hongxing Village. He looks here and there, giving pointers to players who are starting to explore on their own.

Since each player has the task of planting 6000 trees, and the survival rate must also be considered, a large number of saplings are needed, and the local supply is insufficient, so they can only be purchased from other places.

While waiting for the saplings to grow, players used fermented sheep manure to make organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility and salinity.

……

That night, after a busy day as usual, the aching players washed up and fell asleep early.

Tang Qinqin slept very uneasily.

After tossing and turning several times but still unable to fall asleep, she had to sit up and look at the bright moonlight outside the window.

My sleep quality has always been very good. I basically fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow. After a day of physical labor, it stands to reason that I should be having a good dream at this time. What happened today?
Unable to think about it and unable to sleep, she walked out of the room and thought about going for a walk in the yard.

Not long after he quietly left the yard, he saw another figure walking out one after another.

"Qinqin! You can't sleep either?" Lan Lan lowered her voice and exclaimed, stepping forward to hold Tang Qinqin's arm.

"Huh? Are you too?" Tang Qinqin was shocked. Could it be that he ate something strange and caused collective insomnia?
Mengru and Lanlan nodded.

Song Yuanze also came over. Looking at his energetic appearance, he was obviously a member of tonight's insomniac army.

"Since I can't sleep, how about going for a walk?" a player suggested.

Anyway, they didn’t know what to do, so the players, who were not sleepy and full of energy, strolled casually in the night.

Unconsciously, everyone walked near the forest.

"Lin..." Just as he was about to say that the air in the forest was so nice, Lao Tian was immediately covered by Song Yuanze's mouth.

Realizing that something was going on, Lao Tian made a zipper movement above his mouth, and Song Yuanze let go with a look of disgust on his face.

"Everyone, don't talk. There seems to be a voice in the woods. Be careful." Someone lowered his voice to pass the message.

The players who were originally in a relaxed and happy mood immediately fell silent and listened to the sound with their ears raised.

In the quiet forest at midnight, a group of black figures sneaked quietly.

The number of figures was roughly estimated to be around seventy or eighty. In front of them stood two extremely different figures, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat.

If the player walks in and sees it now, he will recognize the familiar pudgy boy as Jia Dabao, whom he has met once before.

The tall and thin man next to him was a collaborator who had a similar affinity with him. He was also one of the people who had come to Lao Hu to buy wood but was rejected.

"It's no wonder we brothers, that old fool is just a fool, accepts death, and won't listen no matter what he says." Jia Dabao shook his head, looking sorry for others.

"It's just that, if he sells those logs obediently, he can still get a sum of money, and he can take care of himself for the rest of his life. He is a bit stubborn, so he won't let go. Then don't blame us for coming here uninvited, who told him not to cooperate." The tall and thin man spoke with contempt.

He still remembered his "painful experience" of being pointed at and scolded by the old man.

"Then we have agreed. Since it is a cooperative relationship, it is half and half. We cannot take advantage of it all." Jia Dabao planned to start work immediately to prevent long nights and dreams, but did not forget to remind him.

"I know, I know, you still don't believe me, really." The tall and thin man nodded helplessly in agreement.

Anyway, he didn't plant this tree, so for him it was a no-cost business, but he could make a lot of money by just putting some effort into cutting it and transporting it out.

First of all, he firmly grasped his own share. As for the others, he wouldn't mind accepting them if he had the opportunity. Don't give up the benefits of getting them for free.

After the two discussed it, they waved the shadows to disperse and began to take action.

……

Tang Qinqin was listening to the complaints of the trees that had been awakened by the chirping sounds under his feet, and wanted to find out the source of the sounds in the forest. One after another, sharp and urgent calls for help rang like thunder in his ears.

"help me!"

"Help!"

"I'm so scared, what should I do...they're coming!"

Hearing the cries for help from the trees in the forest, Tang Qinqin realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained the situation to his friends in a few words.

"There won't be anyone causing trouble, right?" Shen Jinsong looked solemn. He felt that it was probably the people who came to pester Lao Hu before, but they didn't get what they wanted, so they came to retaliate.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look. Lao Jiu, you go back and send a message. Hurry!" Song Yuanze arranged.

The look on his face was also very solemn, because at this moment, everyone heard an official announcement from the game:

[Ding!Warning, tree damage +1!

Ding!Warning, tree damage +1!

Ding! …]
Without further ado, everyone didn't care that they were wearing slippers that were convenient for sleeping, so they quickly ran towards the forest.

Every player was very angry and kept scolding the unknown bastard who was secretly causing trouble. Who didn't know that every tree in the forest was Lao Hu's pet peeve!

This is killing Lao Hu!
What kind of bastard did this unconscionable thing? If they catch him, they won't let him off lightly!
No matter what, we must let them repair the destroyed trees, apologize to Lao Hu, and then accept the severe punishment of the law!
I just hope they can get there faster, stop the sharp blades reaching towards the trees, and minimize the damage...
