Chapter 157 Digging Trees at Midnight
When Ah Chun spoke, her eyes were shining brightly, and her expression was very determined.
Sheng Jiu thought, maybe the little girl really would be a rising star as Yuanke said?
Sheng Jiu wasn't sure, but she thought, if the little girl was willing, then they could actually give it a try!
Start with white porridge...
It just looked fun before, but maybe it will really be fun if I try it?
Thinking of this, Sheng Jiu nodded: "Okay, if Ah Chun wants to do it, just do it!"
Hearing Sheng Jiu say this, Ah Chun felt a pang in her heart and could not help but wipe away her tears again: "Thank you, benefactor."
Achun thought, if he didn't try, no one would know whether he could do it.
So, she has to fight.
For the benefactor and for yourself!
besides……
This world is like hell!
Seeing his sister like this, Adong actually wanted to learn to speak like her. He thought so too.
However, when he thought about what the Master taught him, he could not understand anything.
Adong lowered his head in shame and regret.
He thought, since he couldn't be as determined and brave as his elder sister, he would try his best not to hold his elder sister back!
Sheng Jiu guessed that there might be no survivors in the village.
But now that I'm here... I can't just leave like this.
So, after asking, Sheng Jiu asked Achun to lead the way, and the three of them checked the village.
Not to mention living people, there are not even any living animals.
Even mice know to seek benefits and avoid harm, and you won’t see a single one!
After the examination, Achun and his sister felt even more depressed.
Living in the same village, even if there are occasional quarrels, everyone is familiar with each other. Many people have lived here for four or five generations and have the same ancestors, but now they are all gone...
The brother and sister felt really uncomfortable.
Seeing the brother and sister in such pain, Sheng Jiu originally didn't want to dig up the tree.
They are already in so much pain, and yet they still have to work overtime all night...
Sheng Jiu thought, she is not Sheng Baopi, she won’t be like this!
But Achun felt uncomfortable and always wanted to do something to vent.
Moreover, she had just noticed that Sheng Jiu's gaze lingered on the trees on the mountain for a long time.
So, on the way back, Ah Chun asked quietly, "Does my benefactor like these trees?"
Sheng Jiu originally wanted to say no, but when he turned around and met Achun's pleading eyes, he couldn't say the words no matter what.
Sheng Jiu didn't even know how she could see Achun's expression and gaze in such a dim environment.
But she thought, the little girl was feeling bad, and maybe she just needed something to do to distract herself, which could be considered a way to vent?
Thinking of this, Sheng Jiu said uncertainly: "I really like it. How about we dig it away tonight?"
Before A-Chun could say anything, A-Dong spoke first: "We have to dig it out, benefactor, otherwise it will be burned. The flames over there are not even out yet."
Ah Chun also nodded: "Yes, benefactor, let's dig!"
Digging trees requires suitable tools, and it is obvious that the ones Sheng Jiu brought are not suitable.
So, the three of them climbed back up the mountain, returned home, and picked out the right tools.
Shengjiu store does not have any tools like large shovels.
If this is an old house in the village, it must be fully equipped with various tools. Even though all the work in the village is mechanized, there are still some simple agricultural tools.
However, Sheng Jiu still has some small shovels.
Sheng Siyu bought it after watching a video and following the trend.
It's not big, but it's pretty strong.
Sheng Jiu thought, fortunately they can take it away with just one dig, otherwise, if they really used this to dig, could they dig two trees in one night?
The three men quickly returned to the mountain and began digging trees.
Sheng Jiu said that there was no need to dig too much, just move the shovel to mark the tree, and then she could take the tree away.
A benefactor is like a god.
Achun and his sister did not doubt Sheng Jiu's words at all.
The two men nodded obediently and started eating.
At first, Sheng Jiu thought that he had been cooking a lot recently and had improved his arm strength. He had also bravely ventured into the interstellar space several times with Ares and others before.
Moreover, she is an adult and must have the best physical strength among the three.
As a result, after half an hour, she was so tired that she was panting, while the brother and sister didn't even breathe a breath, and they were still active on the mountain, changing their targets from time to time.
Just move a shovel and go, for the brother and sister, this is not physical work at all!
Sheng Jiu was so tired that he stuck the shovel into the ground, then bent over and gasped for breath, while the brother and sister were still changing their targets constantly.
One tree after another was marked and then taken away by the system.
Seeing this magical scene, the brother and sister became more motivated and ran faster.
Good or bad, dig them all out, and once you dig them out, they will all belong to your benefactor!
The brother and sister had no intention of protecting the trees, they simply wanted to repay their benefactor.
Benefactor likes these trees?
Then dig them all away!
Sheng Jiu:.
I can’t dig anymore, I really can’t dig anymore!
The ground was hard and dry, and my hands were rubbed red every time I used a shovel.
At around two o'clock in the middle of the night, the three men finally dug the mountain bare.
There is a mountain not far away, but it is too far away.
Sheng Jiu took a look and prepared to retreat.
She still has to open the shop tomorrow. If she continues like this, she is afraid she will die suddenly!
Although Achun didn't know how precious the small-leaf camphor tree was, she recognized this kind of tree.
Seeing Sheng Jiu looking at the mountain not far away, Achun quickly said: "Benefactor, the trees on that mountain are the same as ours."
A-Dong was a little tired at the moment, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he scratched his bald head and smiled innocently: "Shall we go over now?"
Sheng Jiu waved his hand: "Go back and rest first, we still have to work tomorrow."
Ah Chun nodded quickly when he heard this: "Yes, benefactor still has things to do tomorrow."
Adong nodded quickly.
The three of them went back quickly, and after a quick wash, the brother and sister changed into the clothes that Sheng Jiu bought at the market.
Soft and clean pure cotton pajamas, very comfortable to wear.
Achun had never worn such good clothes before. She wore coarse linen woven by the villagers themselves. At first, it rubbed her skin and was a little painful.
But after a long time, I got used to it and it’s actually pretty good.
Now wearing the soft cotton pajamas, Achun touched them again and again with care, and then went back to her room to sleep obediently.
The distant guest did not stay overnight tonight, and Paul was not there either.
So, the brother and sister can sleep in their own room.
Sheng Jiu gestured for them to choose a bed: "If you are not used to the upper bunk, you can sleep on the lower bunk."
Achun felt that the lower bunk was safe, so he went there obediently.
Adong was curious and wanted to take a look at the upper bunk, but looking at the height, he would probably be dead if he fell down, so he lay back down on the lower bunk obediently.
After seeing the brother and sister lying down, Sheng Jiu closed the door and turned off the lights, then went back to his room.
After drinking orchid nectar and jujube tea, Sheng Jiu fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
The last second I was thinking that there was not enough mineral water in the store and I had to have someone deliver it tomorrow.
The next second...
Zzzzz…
