Chapter 262 The Night is Hard
Waiting for the pills to melt bit by bit in the water, Shu Ling stood up and left.
After a busy day, Su Ranran kept 3000 gold mines for herself for smelting, and then gave another 3000 gold mines to Shu Ling.
Shu Ling gathered the money together and found that he still had 1,000 gold mines. After calculation, he still had 1,700 gold bars, which could be converted into gold coins worth 3,400.
With the efforts of Jiang Wang and Luo Zhiqing in the afternoon, plus the total gold coins here*10,800, there are only 9,000 gold coins left to reach the ultimate goal of 20,000.
[Shisanyi]: "Rest for a night and continue working hard tomorrow. If we work hard tomorrow, it will be almost done, right?"
[Yi Ling]: "Yeah! Come on, you take a good rest tonight, Qingqing and I will work hard to conquer 800 gold coins tonight."
[十三夷]: "Hey, your crab meat stew is really delicious! I haven't had it for two months, and my child is craving for it!"
This time, of course, just like at noon, Su Ranran asked for two more servings for [Yun Bao] and [Xu Xu Qing Feng].
[Shisanyi]: "How is it? Isn't it delicious? It's definitely better than the cooking of an ordinary chef!"
After Yunbao had eaten two meals, she realized that Su Ranran was really praising her when she said that her cooking skills were comparable to that of Yi Ling.
Her cooking skills are purely learned as an amateur, and are indeed quite good, but far inferior to those of ordinary chefs.
[Rainbow Dash]: "Is this guy a chef? Oh, is he studying this?"
She remembered that Su Ranran was not very old and was still a college student.
[Shisanyi]: "No, Yiyi seems to have learned cooking from her mother. If I remember correctly, Yiyi's mother has passed the chef certification exam."
【十三夷】: "But her mother's main occupation is traditional Chinese medicine, so she didn't develop a career path as a chef."
Otherwise, she would trick Yi Yi and Yi Yi's mother into opening a restaurant, and she would definitely make a fortune!
[Rainbow Dash]: "That sounds impressive. I'm just an ordinary worker."
【十三夷】: "It's okay, just follow me and I will lead you to a good life!"
She was really tired today, so she took a shower when she got home, rested for a while after dinner, drank some water, and then sprinkled some of the floral water that Shu Lingyi brought her around the house.
Especially her legs and arms, with so many mosquito bites today, it was inevitable that she would be bitten.
I didn't feel anything at first, but when I stopped what I was doing, I started to feel very itchy, and every time I scratched it, a bulge formed.
Apply some cool floral water on the blistering area, and the unbearable itching will gradually disappear.
It’s not very hot today, but after applying the floral water, the cool feeling wrapped around my limbs made me sleepy quickly.
Shu Lingyi and Luo Zhiqing also worked all night and only went to bed peacefully after their goal was achieved.
That night, some people slept soundly, while others were in great pain.
Even when Shu Ling arrived later, he split a bottle of toilet water into 10 portions and sold each portion of 50 ml, so that many players could buy it.
But, it’s a new solar term now, and there are more than 10,000 people in total. How can we supply them all?
After all, more than half of the people in this district are newcomers, and they don’t trust Shu Lingyi much.
Among them, [Struggle Intestine] is such a person. When he sleeps in the middle of the night, the sound of mosquitoes buzzing around his ears is everywhere.
The noisy people are so annoying!
I opened my eyes and killed one batch after another. The exposed skin became itchy after being bitten and I couldn't help scratching it. After scratching, red bumps appeared one after another.
If he tried not to catch it, it would be like roasting himself on fire. He would toss and turn and couldn't sleep, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his spirit.
“Ahhhh!”
He could only get up and find some water to apply on his body, then fan himself with his hands to cool his skin, which only then could relieve the itching.
In exchange for a moment of peace.
He tossed and turned until late at night, and finally fell into a deep sleep because he was too sleepy to bear it anymore.
The next morning, Shu Ling woke up, sat up, stretched, and twisted his neck. He felt that he had slept comfortably without any dreams all night!
Then I took a look at the data panel. The values didn't change much, so there was nothing much to say. The weather forecast just said that the temperature would rise and the number of mosquitoes would increase, so please be careful.
Doesn’t this statement confirm that the disasters during this solar term are linked to mosquitoes?
Then I looked at the public screen and saw that many players were complaining.
[Struggling Intestine]: "This mosquito is really vicious! I didn't feel anything when it bullied me while I was sleeping, but when I woke up, I had a lot more lumps on my body."
【The God of Fishing】: "Don't mention it. I couldn't sleep last night because of the mosquitoes. I was so irritable."
【Baby October】: "When I woke up in the morning, my handsome face was covered with bites and had several large lumps. It hurt when I touched it, and I dared not scratch it at all."
[Flirtatious Concentration]: "Tsk tsk, luckily I bought some floral water yesterday. If you don't mind, I'll sell you some. It's really effective!"
[Xu Xu Qing Feng]: "Indeed, this floral water is really useful. I slept very comfortably last night, and no mosquitoes bit me at all."
Last night was a mixture of two extremes. The comfortable night was really comfortable. Even without toilet water, the scent of the smilax glabra placed next to the bed could repel mosquitoes.
However, if this herb is not placed in a space, it will begin to wither the next day, thus greatly reducing its effectiveness.
In order to have a peaceful life tonight, all the players tried their best to get one or two plants of Ludwigia, or buy some floral water!
Like Ayu, who had two dark circles under his eyes, he didn't sleep very long last night. He woke up at dawn and walked towards the place on his map that was not lit up yet.
Spend some time to find a place where sedge can grow, even if it's a long way away.
As long as you find it, not only will you be able to live a good life in the future, but you can also make a fortune by selling Luzan grass.
[Ayu]: "I'll go further. I don't believe there's no Ludoxamin around me!"
[Jing Yu]: "I won't pursue Lu Amine Grass. I have lavender here to pick. If I have more, I can buy floral water first!"
Shu Lingyi was still leisurely eating breakfast. After finishing his meal, he went to check the reservoir and made sure that there was no problem with the water in the reservoir and there were no insect eggs on it before leaving.
Then I went to the chicken coop, and sure enough, there were eggs all over the floor!
Shu Ling went into the house to collect the eggs, and there were 60 eggs in one go!
"All are good!" Shu Ling smiled from ear to ear. There were not so many insect eggs for the pheasants to eat today, so she decided to take the pheasants to cut trees!
She guessed that reading today would be like mining yesterday, with a lot of mosquitoes bothering her.
Shu Lingyi did not intend to apply the floral water directly, but to use himself as bait to attract countless mosquitoes to come closer to feed the pheasants.
After putting away the eggs and preparing a bamboo basket, Shu Lingyi took the wife cakes out.
Yuexue next door has a bulging belly, so she comes out to bask in the sun. Shu Lingyi sprinkles some floral water around to prevent mosquitoes.
Marshmallow and other lambs were also released. Feiyangyang was undoubtedly the happiest one among them, running all over the mountain.
"Hoo, let's go, wife cake."
Shu Lingyi led the pheasants to the west, because she wanted to cut pine wood and use it to make a waterwheel.
It had been raining since the last solar term, but she didn't need to use a waterwheel to move the water to irrigate the fields.
After all, it rains every day, so why does she need to irrigate the plants?
But it’s different now. The water in the paddy fields has very low fluidity and is turbid, which makes it easy for mosquitoes to lay eggs and hatch in it.
Not only will mosquitoes and bacteria breed, but the roots and stems of rice in the paddy fields will also be damaged, and the rice will not grow well.
Considering that there is a wealthy family with 600 pieces of farmland in his own territory, Shu Lingyi has to make a few more water wheels for use.
"We'll get the fire pine in the morning and the hemlock in the afternoon. That's the happy decision."
Not far from the pine forest, Shu Lingyi changed from riding a cow to riding a wife cake.
Although Lao Po Bing’s body is not much smaller than Tian Zhu’s, the feeling of riding on it is very different. It is probably because the monster’s chicken has the ability to fly low for a short period of time.
From time to time, the wife cake would flap its wings and fly low for a distance, which made Shu Ling feel very curious.
"Come on, wife cake! Fly high!"
She laughed on the back of Wife Cake, and Wife Cake also tried very hard to show herself.
Even the mosquito that was chasing Shu Lingyi behind him was blown around by the wind. After a while, it realized that Shu Lingyi had run very far away!
The temperature today is a little higher than yesterday, but it is certainly not hot.
The temperature is estimated to be about 23 degrees Celsius, which is much better than the 18 degrees Celsius in the previous solar term.
Yesterday it seemed to be hot at noon and the temperature was only 22 degrees. Today it was 23 degrees early in the morning, and it will probably be even hotter at noon.
When we come to the pine forest, most of the pine trees have brown bark and evergreen leaves.
Only a few trees have red color in the bark lines, and these are fire pine trees. Even the pine leaves are red, and the fiery red color becomes even more enchanting under the sunlight.
The fire pine wood is particularly conspicuous in the entire pine forest and can be found at a glance.
What Shu Lingyi didn’t expect was that there were so many woodpeckers in the forest!
Most of them are third-level woodpeckers. At a glance, there is probably one on every pine tree. They have long and pointed beaks, and their claws grab the bark and peck at the wood hard.
There are tree holes of different sizes on every tree. At first, Shu Ling thought, could it be that there are bugs that have drilled into the wood?
Otherwise, where would so many woodpeckers come from to treat the pine trees?
Take a closer look - the woodpecker is not treating the pine tree, it is trying to kill it!
Those pine trees that were badly pecked were almost hollowed out from the inside!
At first, it didn't seem that scary when I looked at it from the side, but when I looked from another angle, I saw a big hole. If this continued, the pine tree would be eaten by insects and it would be finished today.
These woodpeckers have black feathers and red crowns, black beaks, and long tail feathers that help them move on trees and prevent slipping.
The shiny black feathers on its body are lustrous and look very beautiful, and there is a small tuft of red hair on the top of its head.
“Knock knock!”
Some woodpeckers that had pecked big holes began to make noises. Shu Lingyi watched from a distance and did not dare to move.
After a while, another woodpecker flew over to the woodpecker that made the sound and went into the tree hole together.
"What is this for... reproduction?" The behavior just now looked like a successful courtship and then moving into a new house!
[Don't think too much. If you don't take care of the other woodpecker monsters, you won't be able to save any of the trees here.]
Xiao Ai's reminder came at a very timely moment, and it reminded Shu Ling of a saying: When there are stink bugs, woodpeckers are the best doctors for trees.
When there are no stink bugs, woodpeckers are the biggest danger to trees!
Obviously, the current situation fits your statement.
"Forget about the ones who have moved in, but kill those who haven't started to peck their way out of the tree holes..."
Shu Ling closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After adjusting his mentality, he pulled the nock of the arrow, with the tip of the arrow pointing directly at the woodpecker in front of him that was pecking at the tree hole.
"call out--"
The sharp arrow flew out of the bow, turning into a golden stream of light and hitting a third-level black-feathered red-crowned woodpecker.
The guy reacted very quickly and flapped his wings to dodge immediately, but his body was still scratched by the arrow and he screamed in pain.
Then, its dark eyes fixed on Shu Lingyi, which alarmed other woodpeckers in the forest, especially those that had not yet succeeded in courting a mate.
Those who successfully courted a mate would nest in a tree hole to give birth to their cubs and would never stick their heads out.
"That's great... Let's take a look here. I'm afraid there is one."
As soon as Shu Ling put away the bow and arrow, a dagger appeared in his hand. With a turn of his wrist, the tip of the sword reflected a cold light.
"A mere hundred or so level three monsters dare to act so arrogantly in front of me!"
Shu Lingyi rushed forward without hesitation, and those that did not fly too high and swooped down towards her were grabbed by Shu Lingyi's claws and pulled down.
Then the dagger directly wiped the woodpecker's neck, and blood splattered on the pine tree next to it. Now Shu Lingyi's attack power only needed one more light attack to take the woodpecker's life.
Shu Ling's move was extremely precise, and with the help of the pheasants nearby, she caught the bird accurately and slashed the woodpecker's neck with a sword.
After killing fifty or sixty of them, she became frighteningly proficient at the process.
With a relaxed and indifferent smile on his face, his peach blossom eyes locked onto one woodpecker after another, then he jumped up and grabbed it - another woodpecker was caught!
Then he used his sword to cut the carotid artery on its neck, and this time his attack was probably more precise and ruthless.
[Hit the vital point, kill with one strike. 】
This tip is rare, and two stacked together are even rarer.
As soon as Shu Ling confirmed that the woodpecker in his hand was dead, he threw its body aside and continued to hunt the remaining woodpeckers.
When she wasn't noticing, the bodies of the woodpeckers twitched slightly, and before the system decomposed, three or two tiny insects crawled out from under the feathers and jumped onto the ground.
These insects are about the size of two grains of rice, with long and powerful hind legs. They follow the surrounding heat source and try to jump onto Shu Lingyi.
However, Red Bean Cake, who seemed to be slacking off nearby, saw this and picked them up and ate them one by one!
It swept across the small black bugs on the ground, and if one dared to jump out, it would peck it up and eat it!
