Start with planting a tree

Chapter 15 The Other Side of the Mountain

In Baibei Mountain, some small saplings have been planted on the bare mountain, but in front of the huge mountain, the small saplings look very weak.

It was getting late, seeing Butler Meng came to remind me several times, the servants were also sweating profusely, and their speed also slowed down.

On the mountainside, Meng Heyin and Luwei scooped up the soil, drenched it with water, and looked at the servants who were still on the mountain.

Meng Heyin said to the servants: "Everyone, let's come here today."

Bai Miao said: "Miss, it's not finished yet."

"I only got a few trees, and they are already so tired. They have been working all afternoon and have not had any water." Meng Heyin said, "Besides, we still have something to eat when we go back. They may not even have food when they go back." I can't eat it. Bai Miao, even if we are masters, we can't be so selfish."

Bai Miao lowered her head in shame, "Miss is right."

The servants really didn't want to do it a long time ago, "Thank you for your understanding, Miss, I will take my leave first."

The servants packed up their things, and some supported each other and slowly went back down the mountain.

While Lu Wei and Bai Miao were packing up, Meng Heyin called out the task page, which showed: "Progress of planting 484 trees (500/[-])"

There are sixteen more...

Wait, what's that line of fine print below?
Meng Heyin moved a little closer and read the line of small characters clearly.

After Bai Miao and Lu Wei packed up their things and got up, they suddenly found that Meng Heyin had thrown off the crowd to fetch a sapling, and they hurried to her side to stop her: "Miss, didn't you say that this is the end of the day?"

"There are only a dozen trees left, and they will not be used tomorrow after planting today."

Meng Heyin's mouth was gentle and gentle, but in her heart she scolded Bai Zhuzi bloody. If she hadn't taken a closer look just now, she would have almost missed the sentence: "Complete within one day within the time limit. If it cannot be completed on time, it will be postponed." Time increases the number of tasks."

"But it's getting late, there are bandits outside..." Bai Miao said.

"Don't worry, the bandit in this world who can beat your lady and me hasn't been born yet."

Lu Wei looked at Meng Heyin's proud face, then at her thin and thin body, silently feeling sad: Miss's paranoia is getting worse.

Of course, the two of them couldn't really leave Meng Heyin here alone, so Bai Miao and Lu Wei also rolled up their sleeves, preparing to continue planting the remaining saplings with Meng Heyin.

However, after seeing two people struggling to make themselves ashamed...

Meng Heyin thought about his words, "Look, you can't help me much, so go and get me saplings, and I'll just plant them here by myself."

Lu Wei just wanted to refute what the young lady could do, but she saw that Meng Heyin was spotless except for the hem of her skirt, and the tree she planted was also beautiful.

Looking at the tree I planted, it was so crooked that I couldn't describe it. The two little maids couldn't argue, so they had to go to the other side to get the saplings, leaving Meng Heyin alone on the mountainside.

Meng Heyin lingered for a while, and almost all the surrounding trees had been planted, so he took the saplings and walked to the top of the mountain.

Meng Heyin walked all the way to the top of the mountain, and when he was almost there, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

On one side of her, there are several small bushes with lush branches.

Strange, the few small shrubs in front of me must not have been brought here and planted by myself this afternoon, right?

Meng Heyin subconsciously wanted to take a look there, but when he reached the other side of the mountain, he was greatly shocked by the scene in front of him.

The other side of the mountain was completely covered with lush greenery. From the foot of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, there were low shrubs, wild grasses, and tall trees. Meng Heyin also noticed that there were several wild chestnut trees not far from him.

what's the situation?
Why is there such a difference in the same mountain? !
Meng Heyin began to try to explain this situation with the classics he had read. Is it possible that this side faces south and the other side faces north?

Meng Heyin compared the direction of the setting sun. The setting sun is about to set, and the afterglow is projected from the west, so there is no problem with the north and south slopes...

"Hey! Bai Zhuzi, what's going on?!"

"Ah?" Big Tongue's voice sounded, with a vague nasal voice, "Hmm...how did you provoke it?"

this voice...

Meng Heyin felt annoyed: "You're not sleeping, are you?"

"Nonsense, it's impossible, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Meng Heyin exploded on the spot: "I have worked so hard to help you plant trees, but you actually sleep so hard in broad daylight!"

Bai Zhuzi said with a guilty conscience, "Here, I can make it up to you."

"Save my sixteen trees?"

"No," Bai Zhuzi vetoed the proposal, "The question just now, I can tell you why!"

Bai Zhuzi was smug and somewhat mysterious.

Meng Heyin asked, "Why?"

"There are treasures in this mountain!" Bai Zhuzi excitedly said.

"What baby?" Meng Heyin was alert, she hadn't forgotten what Master Meng said earlier, there are bandits in Baibei Mountain.

Who knew that Bai Zhuzi started to scold her again, "Good master, go quickly, I can feel that it is a treasure that is of great benefit to you!"

Meng He, the tuning fork player, was angry: "No, you have to give me something."

"The baby is all yours, what more do you want."

"Save ten trees for me."

"No, at most two trees will be free."

"Twelve."

"Six."

"Sixteen."

"Ten!" Bai Zhuzi shouted, "No more!"

"make a deal."

Meng Heyin succeeded in his goal, and secretly laughed at Baizhuzi in his heart, but he walked towards the mountain over there.

She walked very methodically, and she walked in places where it was not easy to leave traces. After walking a certain distance, she saw star lights deep in the mountainside, and occasionally she could hear the howling of animals in the distance.

Meng Heyin stopped.

It should be the so-called bandit stockade there. In Baibei Mountain, the blatant lights are flourishing. Except for the bandits, how can ordinary people be so rampant?

"Are you sure the baby is there?" Meng Heyin asked.

"Sure." Bai Zhuzi's voice revealed unconcealable excitement.

"Bai Zhuzi, tell me the truth, if I get caught, can you save me?"

"I should be able to..."

"Hoo--" Something flew by.

Meng Heyin quickly squatted down and pretended to bury the young sapling on the ground. After a while, the sound stopped.

"It should be a bird." Bai Zhuzi said.

Meng Heyin still looked around cautiously, then walked towards the bandit village.

The twilight was falling, and she couldn't see things. Meng Heyin finally came to the place near the bandit village. She looked carefully on the ground. There were many man-made traces. It must be here that they will start to enter the range of bandit patrols. .

Meng Heyin clenched his thumb, his legs were slightly bent, and he moved forward in a strange posture.Suddenly, Meng Heyin's ears moved.

The sound of clothes breaking through the air came from the right rear, Meng Heyin immediately fell to the ground, and hid among several chestnut trees while trying to minimize his target.

Although Meng Heyin's movements were as light as possible, and it had just rained last night, the fallen leaves that had piled up on the mountain had not been swept away, so he made some noises when he moved like this.

The voice from behind paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.

Meng Heyin didn't dare to relax, and listened intently for a long time, and after confirming that the unknown creature had gone far away, he secretly exhaled a long breath.

However, the moment Meng Heyin exhaled, the old chestnuts from the chestnut tree accidentally fell down and hit her on the head firmly, making a sound that was not light or heavy.
