Chapter 161: Hurry, a large group of Babu are coming
[Premium White Pine: Specially cultivated white pine, with a longer growth period, is harder and more waterproof, fireproof, and insect-resistant, making it a rare and excellent type of wood.]
It’s quite good. It is waterproof, fireproof and insect-proof. It is also quite thick. You can tell at a glance that it has grown for many years.
Lu Xingchen touched it and was very satisfied.
Ji Twenty-three pointed ahead and said, "A little further ahead, there are red oak and red mango forests. They are also specially planted and carefully cultivated."
Lu Xingchen followed them for just a few minutes and found the red oak forest and the red mango forest.
Both types of wood are dark red with slight color differences. The leaves of red oak are golden yellow with a hint of orange, while the leaves of red musk deer are red. The colors are very bright, just like the gorgeous red leaves in autumn.
Moreover, they are all relatively tall and thick, and the distance between each tree is the same.
It was indeed artificially cultivated.
Moreover, there are occasionally one or two wooden chairs on the roadside or beside the trees, which should be used for rest.
There are two right next to them now.
Lu Xingchen remembered something: "Didn't you say that several kinds of high-grade wood were here? And what about teak? Why don't I see it?"
Ji Ershisan looked around and scratched his head. "Strange, why is it gone? Could it be that the white teak tree has been moved away?"
She turned to Ji Forty-Nine and asked, "When you came last time, did you still have any white teakwood?"
Ji Forty-Nine shook her head and said cutely, "I forgot, sister. We didn't walk so far back then. We just took a short stroll and went to play in the old man's new house."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Who is that old man?"
Ji Forty-Nine: "The old man is Grandpa Babu!"
Babu?
Tsk, what a fate!
Lu Xingchen nervously looked around. Oh no, Babu's here. Will he go crazy when he sees her? She did bring a teleportation card, but this island was brought by Forty-Nine, so it probably doesn't have the function of teleporting at the designated time.
Also, if she leaves, what will happen to twenty-three and forty-nine?
Lu Xingchen's expression changed several times.
Ji Ershisan saw it and asked curiously, "Sister, are you scared?"
Lu Xingchen asked quietly: "Aren't you afraid of Babu? If he comes, can you two run away by yourselves?"
Ji Forty-Nine bit his finger and said, "We're not afraid. We can just say we're lost. The old man can't do anything to us."
Ji Ershisan smiled slyly, "We're not cutting wood, so what are we afraid of? But if you secretly cut down the wood that the old man has carefully cultivated, he'll probably cut you into pieces. We're only responsible for leading the way, we're not responsible for anything else."
The two of them were safe, and Lu Xingchen felt a little relieved. At least, he could just run away by himself in a while and there was no need to worry about them.
Ji Ershisan noticed her nervousness and continued, "Bab has carefully managed these woods for a long time. He's using them to build a new house for his youngest son, who'll be using it next month. Babu is very mean. If you secretly cut down a few of his trees, he'll hunt you down for the rest of your life, so you have to think carefully."
Lu Xingchen looked at the vast expanse of woods and murmured, "I'm not just going to chop down a few of his trees!"
Ji Twenty-three: "A few trees aren't enough? Then you want to cut down a dozen? Aren't you going to use them to make furniture?"
Lu Xingchen: "I'll use it to build a house."
Ji Twenty-Three's expression changed: "What?"
Lu Xingchen glanced around and said, "I estimate I need to cut down 1,000 trees, 1,000 of each species, which adds up to about 3,000 trees!"
There was no way around it, they just needed so much wood. Lu Xingchen also found it strange. She seriously suspected that the system was consuming her wood. A two-story villa shouldn't need this much wood at all!
