Chapter 45: Could it be some mountain spirit or ghost?
When six hours were up, He Sheng and others left the space.
"Huh?"
Some people are confused, but they don't know what they are confused about.
It seems like there are a lot of things I want to say, but I can't.
He Sheng looked confused as he looked at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
At some point, sixteen small bags of sweet potatoes were placed in front of me.
“This is your reward.”
Gu Luan pointed at the sweet potatoes on the ground and told He Sheng.
Li Keke was puzzled, "We didn't do anything?"
They have been there all along, why are they suddenly being paid?
Is it possible to get paid first and then work? Is there such a good thing?
"You've finished your work."
Without further explanation, Gu Luan chuckled, and turned to leave with Jiang Xian.
After Gu Luan and Jiang Xian left, someone in the team couldn't help but slap himself.
"We are not dreaming. We are really not dreaming."
He ran forward happily, touched everything with his hands, and opened his pocket to check, and sure enough, it was full of sweet potatoes.
"Brother He, they..."
Li Keke was about to say something when He Sheng stopped her.
"Don't say anything, let's go back first."
I don't know who these two people are, but they have extremely powerful means.
I don’t know what means they used to make everyone lose their memory for six hours.
He Sheng knew very well that they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
Everyone held the sweet potatoes they had earned in their arms and walked towards the base.
They had no car and could only walk back to the base step by step.
He came with heavy steps and left with light steps and a relaxed and happy smile on his face.
He Sheng hugged the sweet potato tightly in his arms, looked back at the scorched forest, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Brother He, these two are so mysterious, could they be some kind of mountain spirits or ghosts?"
A young man joked.
"A mountain elf or a ghost? You look like one!"
"You know what? It's really weird! We don't even know what we did."
Others murmured.
"Will they still need people to work for them in the future?"
Li Keke doesn't think about anything else but this.
It is so easy to get three pounds of sweet potatoes. If they are frugal, they can eat them for several days.
"I don't know. Do you want to ask later?"
"Next time we can't find food, we'll go ask."
Everyone proposed in unison.
They were sure that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were not bad people and that they could get food by just working, so everyone wanted to seize this good thing.
Everyone hid their sweet potatoes in their clothes for fear of being noticed.
There were more than 60 of them, and they were quite well-off, so they rented two 50-square-meter houses to live in.
Although it’s a bit crowded, as long as I can survive, why should I care about these things?
After staying in space for six hours, it was already late when we returned to the base.
As soon as they entered the apartment building, they ran into Yu Xin who was about to go out to look for them.
Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief to see them return safely.
"Brother He, you guys are finally back. I was worried that something might have happened to you."
He Sheng patted Yu Xin on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it in the house."
Yu Xin said nothing more and went back to the house with the others.
The house where He Sheng lives is now crowded with more than sixty people.
"Brother He, I earned twenty points today."
"Brother He, we went out and found a few turtledoves that were frozen to death."
Some people took out the supplies they found today and placed them all in front.
This is their day’s harvest, which is counted every night.
"Coco, what did you gain from going out today?"
A petite girl came up to Li Keke and the other girls and asked curiously.
Coco went out with the captain today, and she must have gained a lot.
Li Keke looked frustrated, "We didn't get anything today."
"Ah? It's okay, I found supplies today."
The petite girl comforted Li Keke softly, fearing that she would feel burdened.
Li Keke and several girls laughed out loud, and suddenly each of them took out a pocket from their arms.
The petite girl took it and when she saw what was in the pocket, she exclaimed, "Sweet potato?"
He Sheng smiled and took out the sweet potatoes he had hidden with the others.
The fifty or so people who did not go with them all expressed shock.
So many sweet potatoes!
Captain, where did they find them?
These sweet potatoes are of good quality and obviously have not been frozen, and they don’t look like they were brought back from outside.
"Brother He, what did you do all day?"
Yu Xin picked up a sweet potato and couldn't suppress his curiosity.
He Sheng gave a brief explanation.
Everyone listened quietly and attentively.
"Brother He, you guys didn't really encounter anything weird, did you?"
After hearing this, a teammate who is interested in supernatural events said.
"Don't scare me! If you want to know if it's true, you can go check it out tomorrow."
A girl rubbed her arms in fear and slapped the man who was talking.
"Don't be ridiculous, they're not."
He Sheng didn't say anything more, and stopped his teammates from having wild thoughts. "Add some sweet potatoes to dinner later."
"Brother He is awesome."
Everyone laughed out loud with joy and happily discussed what to eat in the evening.
When his teammates were happy, He Sheng was happy too.
After dinner, Yu Xin and several teammates found He Sheng and asked him whether he wanted to go to see Gu Luan and Jiang Xian tomorrow.
He Sheng thought about it and shook his head.
"Let's not disturb them for the next two days. They live in such a remote place, I think they don't want to come into contact with outsiders."
"We left, and they didn't let us continue working."
"Let's wait a few more days. If it's hard for us to find supplies, we can go see if there's any work to do."
After He Sheng finished speaking, Yu Xin and the others thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Five days later, He Sheng's team was in trouble again.
The colder the weather got, the harder it was to find supplies. As the stored supplies became less and less, the people in the team became anxious.
Yu Xin approached He Sheng again.
"Let's go tomorrow. We'll take fifteen people with us, and the others will continue to work at the base."
He Sheng must make preparations for both scenarios and cannot place all his hopes on Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
In case the two of them don't need anyone to work, and a group of people go, they will suffer a lot of losses.
"Brother He, can I bring a brother with me?"
Yu Xin asked He Sheng carefully, he thought of his buddy Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai saved Yu Xin once, and he has been having a hard time recently, so Yu Xin wants to take him away.
"Do you want to take Jiang Huai with you?"
He Sheng knew who Yu Xin was looking for.
Jiang Huai is a decent person, his only shortcoming is that he is overambitious and has unrealistic goals.
Maybe he has been a playboy for too long and cannot accept his current situation.
How could he look down upon such a small job?
I heard that he got close to Luo Shao recently, can he still go?
"Is it okay, Brother He?"
Yu Xin nodded, with pleading and expectation in his eyes.
Jiang Huai hasn't been having a good time recently.
Even though he was trying to get close to Luo Shao, it was unclear whether Luo Shao had forgotten about him or was deliberately leaving him alone.
Anyway, the situation is not good.
As Jiang Huai's only friend, Yu Xin wanted to find him a job.
"If he wants to come, then he can come. But first tell him that there may not be any work for him when he goes."
He Sheng did not refuse and agreed to Yu Xin's request.
"I understand. I'll tell him right away."
Yu Xin nodded repeatedly and ran out of the house happily.
Jiang Huai's family was arguing again.
Jiang Suisui stepped forward to mediate the fight, and some neighbors came and scolded the family for being so persistent.
Jiang Huai apologized, closed the door, and looked tired.
In just a few days, he seemed to have aged several years, and his handsome face was full of confusion and pain.
