Chapter 1363 Protection
"Haha, okay, Xiao Lin, don't worry, we'll deliver the next batch of saplings to you in less than three days. How many saplings do you want for the next batch?"

Director Yu was naturally pleased with this result.

"Okay, let's start with four thousand!" Lin Hao said after thinking for a moment. For an ordinary person, taking care of five thousand saplings is basically the limit.

However, Lin Hao requested four thousand trees, which terrified Director Yu.

Including the ones Lin Hao has already planted, there are a total of five thousand trees, which is no small number.

It's not that we don't have enough saplings, but rather we're worried about whether we can take good care of them.

"Don't worry, Director!" Five thousand trees are no problem at all for Lin Hao.

"Okay, I support your decision."

Director Yu agreed to Lin Hao's request, and Engineer Chen spoke with Lin Hao again.

Before leaving, Lin Hao asked Engineer Chen to make preparations, because the nursery needed a lot of materials to cultivate the seedlings.

After everyone left, Lin Hao realized that Tang Qi didn't want to hide and wanted to appear openly in front of everyone, so he asked Tang Qi for the painting that Feng Cheng had given her.

"What do you need that painting for?" Tang Qi asked, puzzled.

"To resolve the potential problems arising from your identity!" Lin Hao explained with a smile.

"Only if Tang Qi disappears from this world can they give up on capturing you; otherwise, your portrait would not have been taken down from the train station."

Tang Qi wasn't stupid, and then a thought flashed through her mind: "So, you're going to fabricate the message that I've already escaped?"

"Hehe!" Lin Hao said with a smile, "No, to completely eliminate this hidden danger, the only way is to make them believe that you are dead!"

"Oh, and your red scarf!" Lin Hao added at the end.

Tang Qi's face showed a hint of happiness. Although living in the underground house was comfortable, she could only hide whenever there were people around, which always made her feel uneasy.

Lin Hao's proposed solution relieved her. As long as they stopped targeting her and gave up the pursuit, she might be able to see the light of day again.

······
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

That day, Feng Cheng was watering the newly planted saplings when his driver, Xiao Pang, picked him up and took him back to Weichang.

"Director, Lao Qu, why are you in such a hurry to bring me back?" Feng Cheng saw two familiar faces as soon as he entered the office.

Yu Zhenglai and Qu He remained silent, then looked at the two people beside them, namely Section Chief Hou and Cadre Xu.

"We're here mainly to have you identify two things!" Section Chief Hou said to Cadre Xu after finishing his sentence.

"Open it and show it to him!"

As Xu opened the package, he said to Feng Cheng, "Come on, Comrade Feng, see if this is Tang Qi's stuff!"

When Officer Xu took out the painting of "Emperor Kangxi's Autumn Hunt at Mulan Hunting Ground" that she had given to Tang Qi, along with the red scarf, Tang Qi was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Section Chief Hou and Staff Officer Xu noticed Feng Cheng's unpleasant expression and understood what was going on, but they still needed Feng Cheng's confirmation.

"Feng Cheng!" Section Chief Hou asked solemnly, "Are these Tang Qi's belongings?"

"Yes!" Feng Cheng's face was grim.

The fact that these two items were in their possession meant that Tang Qi's escape attempt had failed and that they had captured her.

"That's good!" Now that Feng Cheng had confirmed it was Tang Qi's item, their work was considered complete, so Section Chief Hou said:
"That's all, you can go now!"

"Could you leave these two items to me?" Feng Cheng stopped and asked, remembering that these were Tang Qi's belongings.

Officer Xu said seriously, "That won't do!"

Feng Cheng frowned and spoke again:

"Fine, I don't need the scarf, but you have to give me back this painting; it's mine!"

"That won't do!" Officer Xu refused.
"This is evidence transferred to us by the public security department. It will be returned after the investigation, so it's impossible for us to give it to you!"

"Public safety?" Feng Cheng was struck dumb upon hearing this, and then quickly asked, "What happened to Tang Qi?"

I initially thought Tang Qi had just been arrested, but judging from Officer Xu's tone, it seemed to be more than that.

"It's none of your business!" Officer Xu ignored him and continued packing his things.

"Alright, our work is finished!" Section Chief Hou shook hands with Yu Zheng and Qu He, saying:

"Thank you for your cooperation. We'll be going now, thank you!"

"Okay, it's good that the problem is solved!" Yu Zhenglai said politely to Qu He.

Seeing that Section Chief Hou and Cadre Xu were packing up to leave, Feng Cheng quickly followed them and asked:

"Section Chief Hou, what happened to Tang Qi?"

Seeing that Section Chief Hou ignored him, he turned to Officer Xu and asked:
"Officer Xu, please tell me, what exactly happened to Tang Qi?"

"Oh, stop asking!" Officer Xu said impatiently. "Go back to work and we're never coming back!"

Feng Cheng's bad premonition intensified, and he once again pleaded with Section Chief Hou:

"Section Chief Hou, please, for the sake of our years of working together, I beg you!"

"Sigh!" Section Chief Hou shook his head and said, "Alright then, since you're still patriotic, I'll tell you!"

"She's dead. She was shot dead on the spot while illegally crossing the border in Bao'an, Guangdong. What you just saw is evidence transferred from the Guangdong police!"

"Boom!!" Upon hearing this, Feng Cheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It was the answer he least wanted to hear. Then, everything went black, and he fainted!

Section Chief Hou quickly helped Feng Cheng up, and Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, who were behind him, also stepped forward to help Feng Cheng.

Yu Zhenglai said helplessly, "This kid has a hard time accepting it right away, we'll just take care of him!"

Section Chief Hou nodded. Yu Zhenglai and Qu He were quite cooperative with their work, so he handed Feng Cheng over to them and left with Cadre Xu.

······
Three days later, Feng Cheng dug a hole at the Wind-Suppressing Divine Tree and lay down there.

"Father, I know you're lying right beside me, I've come to be with you!"

"Don't blame me for being useless. None of the trees I planted survived. My loving mother is gone, and Tang Qi, whom I loved, is gone too!"

"I'm so tired. From now on, this tree will be our tombstone!"

Just as Feng Cheng was lying in the sandpit, paying tribute to his father and Tang Qi and bidding farewell to the past, he heard voices outside, as if someone was cutting down trees or something.

Feng Cheng immediately rushed out and found four people preparing to cut down the only tree on the dam.

Feng Cheng quickly stopped them, saying, "Stop! You're not allowed to cut down trees!"

"Who are you?!" a young man who looked somewhat prematurely aged said with displeasure.

"I'm from the Forestry Bureau, here to plant trees in Bashang. This tree belongs to our Forestry Bureau, and you're not allowed to cut it down!"

The young man said dismissively, "My name is Zheng San'er. Ask around for miles around, and everyone knows me!"

“This tree is a wild tree in Saihanba. You say it belongs to your forestry bureau? Then I’ll say it’s ours!”

"I'm twenty-five, it's time to get married and build a new house. This tree is perfect as the main beam!" he said to the three young men.
"Chop it down!" "I said no, and that's final!" Feng Cheng stepped forward and swatted their tools away.

"No, are you sick in the head?" Zheng San'er said angrily.

"Are you local villagers?" Feng Cheng asked, frowning.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zheng San'er said dismissively.

"Haven't you heard that this is a sacred tree that can ward off evil spirits?" Feng Cheng urged again.

"What kind of wind-suppressing tree is that!" Zheng San'er sneered. "What wind does it suppress? It blows yellow dust and sand every other day!"

"It's making it impossible for any of us old men on the dam to find wives. I think it's a cursed tree, we should just cut it down!"

Seeing Zheng San'er's ignorance, Feng Cheng tried to explain, "Only by planting more trees to stabilize the soil and water can we reduce wind and sandstorms; this is scientific!"

"This tree was left by our ancestors and is several hundred years old. We need to rely on it for afforestation research!"

"I'm an employee of the Forestry Bureau, and I'm warning you, cutting down trees is illegal!" Feng Cheng warned finally.

"What law have I broken by cutting down a wild tree?" Zheng San'er said disdainfully.
"Let me tell you, don't stop me from cutting down trees, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"With me, Feng Cheng, here, let's see who dares to challenge me!"

"I don't believe it!" Zheng San'er sneered, then said to the group:

"Guys, if we can't handle him, let's beat him up!"

The group then began to fight each other. Zheng San'er and his group outnumbered Feng Cheng, who was all alone and no match for them.

However, Feng Cheng couldn't beat them, so he focused on beating Zheng San'er alone. Finally, when he got desperate, he bit Zheng San'er's hand and bit his palm hard.

"Ahhh~!" A sharp pain shot through Zheng San'er's hand as he was bitten, leaving a large gash that gushed blood.

"Is this guy out of his mind?!" Zheng San'er, clutching his wound, roared, "Get out of my way, or I'll kill you!"

"I won't allow it! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"Fine, you're asking for it, aren't you? Beat him to death!"

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!"

However, after beating Feng Cheng for a long time, Feng Cheng clung tightly to the tree and refused to let go, which made Zheng San'er even angrier, so he shouted:

"I, I, I still don't believe it! I'll beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he picked up the axe beside him and swung it directly at Feng Cheng.

"Stop!" A dignified voice rang out, and then someone snatched the axe away. The person who came was none other than Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had transformed into an eagle and was inspecting the planting progress from the sky, while also patrolling the surrounding area, when he saw people fighting near the sacred tree.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Feng Cheng. I immediately recalled the episode where Feng Cheng was beaten for protecting the sacred tree.

Lin Hao originally didn't want to get involved, since Feng Cheng was fine in the end, but seeing how Feng Cheng risked his life to protect the only tree on Saihanba, he thought about it and decided to help him.

Although Feng Cheng was a bit pretentious, Lin Hao still appreciated his behavior, so he flew down directly.

"Stop! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?" Lin Hao shouted sternly. "Feng Cheng, how are you?"

"Who the hell are you?" Zheng San'er asked somewhat guiltily.

"They're going to cut down the sacred tree, I—!" Perhaps knowing he was safe, Feng Cheng fainted before he could finish speaking.

Seeing the axe wound on the tree, Lin Hao angrily said:

"Well, you dare to damage our forestry bureau's assets? None of you will escape today!"

As Lin Hao spoke, he stepped forward, subdued the men, and tied them up with rope.

Lin Hao then used a mental marker to send Xiao Huang down the mountain to deliver a message, so that Yu Zheng and the others could come up the mountain to handle the situation.

Afterwards, Lin Hao treated the tree. Looking at the wound, Lin Hao originally wanted to use the essence of life to heal it directly, but considering that the people from the forest farm would be returning later, he needed to preserve the evidence.

Lin Hao then treated his wound briefly before checking on Feng Cheng's injuries.

Fortunately, these people didn't kill him. The injuries looked serious, but they were all superficial wounds that were simply bandaged with gauze.

After treating Feng Cheng's injury, Lin Hao then went to check on Zheng San'er's hand.

"What are you doing?" Zheng San'er was startled by Lin Hao.

"Let me see your wound!" Lin Hao grabbed Zheng San'er's hand and secretly used his life energy to heal him, making the wound smaller.

After wiping the bloodstains clean with gauze, Zheng San'er's hand wounds were reduced to teeth marks and a broken skin, which looked like nothing more than superficial injuries to anyone.

Meanwhile, Xiao Huang rushed to the forest farm and then stormed into Yu Zhenglai's office.

"Woof, woof woof!"

When Yu Zheng saw Xiao Huang barking at him, he thought Xiao Huang wanted food, so he smiled and patted its head, saying:
"It's not lunchtime yet, we'll have to wait a little longer before we eat!"

"Woof woof~!" Little Yellow barked twice more, then grabbed Yu Zhenglai's trouser leg and pulled him outside.

"Xiao Huang, you~!" Yu Zheng was about to scold Xiao Huang, but as a veteran, Xiao Huang's unusual behavior made him suddenly realize something.

Xiao Huang is Lin Hao's dog, and it has always been with Lin Hao on the dam.

Lin Hao didn't come down to find him; instead, the dog came down on its own and started biting his trouser leg, clearly trying to get him to leave.

"You want me to follow you, right?" Yu Zhenglai said, gesturing.

"Woof!" Little Yellow barked once and then ran outside.

Yu Zheng was taken aback and immediately called out to Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, has Expert Lin returned?"

"No!" Xiao Liu replied immediately.

"Something's happened!" Yu Zhenglai shouted immediately. "Quickly notify someone and get Xiao Pang to drive. Expert Lin might be in trouble!"

"Woof!" Little Yellow barked again at the door.

Then Engineer Chen and Qu He arrived, and at that moment, Xiao Huang called out to them twice before running towards the dam.

"Hurry!" The group then chased after them in a carriage, followed by other people on horseback.

Seeing a car, Xiao Huang turned around and jumped into it.

"Hey, you're quite clever!" Yu Zheng praised, patting Xiao Huang's head and showing his fondness for the little guy.

Even Qu He, who usually has a serious expression, secretly likes this beautiful mongrel.

At this time, Xiao Huang was already more than half a year old. Although he usually fed it leftovers, Lin Hao had plenty of food in his space and often gave it extra meals when they were on the mountain.

Therefore, Xiao Huang now looks not only clean and shiny with a bright coat and a gentle and clever personality, but also has a body size close to that of an adult dog.

After reaching a fork in the road, one path leads to the planting site on the dam, while the other leads towards the Zhenfeng Sacred Tree.
