Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming: My Haunted Fields Are Spawning Monsters Infinitely

The next morning, when Li Qingshan came out of the house, he saw the duo still working.

One of them carried a hoe, and the other carried a sickle. First, they used the hoe to cut down the grass roots, then they used the sickle to clear it away, and finally they carried the felled weeds to the front of the earthen house.

Li Qingshan's haystacks have expanded another size.

The two of them worked all night without stopping, and now they both had dark circles under their eyes.

Li Qingshan remained silent for a while, and finally had no choice but to accept reality.

That's fine, at least I've gained two 24/7 working people.

The only price is paying some exorcism coins.

Around 9:00 AM, Tuesday Dog arrived again, driving a large cart.

"Qingshan Lang, look what I brought you."

Before even seeing Li Qingshan, he called out loudly, his voice sounding very cheerful.

As he approached the earthen house and saw the wild boar and leopard hanging in front of it, his expression froze, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"I was just about to tell you. I caught two more wild animals yesterday. I was worried that they would go bad since you haven't been here for so long."

"Oh my, Qingshan Lang, you really have some skill. Others might not even encounter one such wild animal in a year, but you hunt them every day, as if these wild animals are your pets."

Li Qingshan frankly said, "I do have some experience in hunting."

"If you can hunt wild animals like this often, I can't handle it all by myself, I'll have to hire two more helpers," Zhou Ergou grinned. "Yesterday's black bear was sold, the meat to a restaurant in the city, the bear skin to a warehouse that transports goods to the interior, and the other wild animals were also sold. The goods we got are all here."

The truck was piled with the things Li Qingshan had asked Zhou Ergou to buy yesterday. Apart from a water tank, there were some clothes and miscellaneous items, but the rest had been replaced with salt and grain.

Zhou Ergou pulled out an iron rod and said, "I can't buy a spear, but I saw a flaming iron rod. You can sharpen it and use it."

Just then, the duo returned carrying weeds. Zhou Ergou, who hadn't seen them last time, rubbed his eyes and clicked his tongue, saying, "Qingshanlang, these are the farmhands you hired."

"Hmm."

"That's really good. Other land reclaimers are struggling to make ends meet, and you've already hired farmhands. I didn't misjudge you; you're a capable person," Zhou Ergou said sincerely.

"However..." Zhou Ergou said, looking at the duo's dark circles, "You're too ruthless with your people. They need to rest too."

Li Qingshan remained silent, unloading the items from the vehicle. He picked up the water tank from the truck and, with a sudden burst of strength, lifted it up.

"Wow, that's strong!" Just then, an exclamation rang in my ears.

Li Qingshan almost strained his back. He turned around and saw that Old Wang was there again.

He was dressed in a short brown robe, carrying a fishing rod and a fish basket, looking every bit the countryman.

It's him.

Li Qingshan's heart stirred. He had suspected Old Wang's identity last time, and seeing him now, he was even more convinced of his suspicions.

Despite wearing shorts and casual clothes, his arrogant demeanor was something that ordinary people could never possess.

But was it necessary for me to expose his identity? He was happy to play the role of an incognito visitor, and all I had to do was cooperate with him.

Seeing Li Qingshan's eyes darting around, the King of the Northern Border thought to himself, "Oh no, I've been found out."

"Old Wang!" Li Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Long time no see, what have you been up to?"

Old Wang was certain in his heart: since he was pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, then he might as well pretend to be ignorant as well.

"I came here to fish and just wandered around."

The King of the North took two steps forward with his fish basket in hand before he noticed the wild game hanging in front of the house.

He took a few steps forward, circled the game, and said incredulously, "You hunted all of this?"

"That's not all," Zhou Ergou said. "Yesterday he hunted a black bear and just delivered it to the city."

"Black bear!" The King of the North's eyes widened.

"There was a big worm a few days ago, you probably don't know that," Zhou Ergou boasted to Li Qingshan.

The King of the North thought to himself, "I know all that." He looked Li Qingshan up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement, "You truly have excellent skills; you even have the ability to subdue tigers and capture bears."

"It was just a coincidence, I was just lucky," Li Qingshan said modestly.

The King of the North waved his hand, saying that once or twice might be a coincidence, but catching large beasts one after another could not be just luck.

"I didn't expect you to be such a skilled fisherman, and also quite adept at hunting."

Li Qingshan continued unloading the equipment from the car. The King of the Northern Border watched this scene and then looked at the newly built house in front of him.

A large number of pioneers flocked to the north, but only one developed as well as Li Qingshan.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

"casual."

As the King of the North entered the house, Zhou Ergou looked around and whispered, "Who is this person? Are you familiar with him? You can't be too careful."

Li Qingshan nodded to indicate that he understood; the other party probably wouldn't steal his grain.

Just then, he heard the sound of horses' hooves. Li Qingshan turned his head and saw three soldiers riding fast horses coming from a distance.

Zhou Ergou and Li Qingshan stood still, immediately feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The leading soldier, a bearded man with a flag stuck in his back, asked, "Look, have you seen any unfamiliar faces?"

"No, no," Zhou Ergou shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"Heh, I haven't even said who it is yet, how do you know you haven't seen it before?"

The soldier immediately sneered, then glanced at the goods that Li Qingshan hadn't had time to unload from his cart, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, quite impressive. Some barbarians were killed here. Did you do it?"

Li Qingshan felt a jolt of fear; he knew what was coming had finally arrived.

He never expected that it was the army of the Great Yan who sent people to investigate.

"What barbarians? We've never heard of them." Zhou Ergou knew that these soldiers were both soldiers and bandits, and getting involved with them would be a disaster.

Looks like I'll have to bleed a little today.

"Judging from your expressions, did you conspire to murder someone? Tell me, where did you bury them!"

Li Qingshan felt a chill run down his spine. How did they know that he had buried the person after killing them?

"My lord, I'm innocent..."

On Tuesday, the dog suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Just then, the King of the North came out of the house. The soldiers who had been so arrogant just moments before shrank into a ball like mice before a cat when they saw him.

"Hmm..." The King of the North stopped the other party with a look.

"Um, well... you probably don't know this, we'll be going now."

The three soldiers didn't delay and rode away on their horses.

On Tuesday, the dog got up from the ground, scratched his head, and said, "Why did they leave? I thought I was going to be skinned alive this time."

Li Qingshan had already guessed the reason. He was grateful to Lao Wang today, otherwise he was afraid he would have had a hard time getting through this.

The King of the North seemed relaxed and smiled, saying, "There are good people in the barracks too."

"The barracks... good people, hehe."

Tuesday Dog's laughter was particularly grating to the King of the North.

"Load the stuff up and hurry up and leave, don't be late." Li Qingshan, worried that Zhou Ergou might say something wrong, asked, "By the way, what about those radishes from yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, the King of the North also perked up his ears.
