The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 887 Unknown intruder

Bai Meixi returned to the desert early the next morning. The tent she left behind was still there, but there were obvious traces of animals and people walking on the ground.

She came to the potatoes she planted and found that the potatoes that were about to mature had been uprooted. The potatoes now were not much bigger than eggs and had a green taste. Those people even wanted to eat potatoes like this, which showed that they had already grown. To the point where they are running out of ammunition and food.

From the footprints on the ground, Bai Meixi felt that there was more than one person in this group, but the number of potatoes was not much less. Perhaps they regarded this place as a long-term food storage base and planned to wait until the potatoes were more mature before coming back.

Or maybe they found signs of habitation here and planned to rob Baimeixi after she returned from purchasing supplies.

Bai Meixi is not sure about the identity of this group of people. If they are just travelers in the desert like herself, she is willing to share her things with them, but if these people have other purposes, then she has to guard against them.

Bai Meixi went back to Atu Town again. Ever since Director Wang's car was "robbed", the people in the town began to be cautious in doing business. There were not many goods brought in and out every time. Even the originally bustling Most of the collections are beginning to slump.

This news made Bai Meixi feel a little guilty. She specially picked some fresh vegetables in the space and sold them in Atu Town, which was considered as compensation for everyone.

These fresh vegetables immediately attracted everyone's attention. When Baimeixi was selling dried vegetables, they were already very strange. Now these fresh vegetables seem to have appeared out of thin air, and there is no way they can appear on their land. .

"My friend brought these over. There are not many, only two baskets. I heard that he specially cultivated these vegetables so that they can grow locally."

Bai Meixi started talking nonsense seriously. She made up a friend who studied crops, saying that he specially transported soil from other places and carefully cultivated it in the room to get these vegetables.

This kind of greenhouse-like planting method is difficult for others to understand in this era, but the residents of the small town no longer care about this. It is everyone’s wish to give their families a bite of fresh vegetables, not to mention the price of vegetables in Baimeixi Cheap, not much more expensive than potatoes.

The green grass in Baimeixi was quickly sold out, and there were still many people coming to make reservations.

"There are only so many of these dishes. I said they were created for research purposes. The cost is very high. If we want to mass-produce them, the price will probably double several times."

Bai Meixi explained carefully, and the faces of the people around him immediately showed a look of disappointment. They didn't know when the friend Bai Meixi mentioned would be able to do the experiment again.

"Sister Bai, it's great that you are here. I just went to where you live to look for you. I didn't see you, so I thought something had happened to you."

When Ali saw Bai Meixi appear in the town, he quickly pulled her aside. He glanced around mysteriously, as if he had something important to discuss.

"What happened? Did you find the water source?"

Bai Meixi has been waiting for this news. If Ali determines the location of the water source, she will have to open the water source even if she goes to borrow money from outside.

"It's not about the water source. I came back this time to remind you not to go to Daji recently. It may be dangerous there."

Ali's voice was kept low, fearing that people around him would panic if they heard him.

Their expedition team encountered a difficult situation, that is, someone was one step ahead of them, stealing the contents of the tomb, and causing serious damage to the entire tomb. "What, someone is robbing the tomb! Where is it!"

Bai Meixi was very surprised when she heard the news. She thought of those people who quietly broke in next to Xiaojing Lake yesterday, and suddenly felt that they might be related to the tomb robbing gang.

"It was 50 kilometers away from the Gobi Prison. Judging from the traces, it would not have been more than 10 days ago. My teacher was afraid that someone would use the big market to sell the stolen goods, so he immediately came back to report the crime. But you also know that many people are worried about the tomb. I don’t care about these things, but think they are the remnants of feudal thinking.”

Ali talked about their inspection process. This tomb is very similar to the tomb of the Xixia emperor and has high historical value. If it had not been stolen, they would definitely be able to take credit from their superiors for their discovery. Now It was difficult to even complete my own research project.

Moreover, the local police did not seem to care about this matter and were very perfunctory when taking notes, which made the teacher very worried.

"Sister, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gotten sick on the way and delayed everyone's schedule, maybe we would have arrived before the tomb robbers."

Ali sighed when he thought about this. Now he didn't dare to look into his mentor's eyes and avoided him every day.

"I can't blame you for this. Tomb robbing is not something you can prevent, and most of the tombs in Xixia are in groups. As long as one is found, the others should not be far away. No matter how rampant those tomb robbers are, they can't Dig up all the graves."

Bai Meixi comforted Ali softly, feeling that their research could continue, but they must be careful in the future. Those tomb robbers were all desperadoes. If there was a head-on conflict, students like them would definitely not be opponents.

"Sister Bai, you are studying archeology, so you know this kind of thing."

Ali admired Bai Meixi even more. Ever since she proposed the concept of underground rivers last time, he felt that Bai Meixi was an insider. Now that he heard her mention the tombs, he felt that she knew the inside story. If she was willing to tell them Going on the road together may promote the progress of the entire research project.

"Sister Bai, please think about it carefully. If we can really find valuable tombs, we will ask you for credit. Maybe my brother-in-law can be released early."

Ali knows what Bai Meixi is worried about, and discovering antiquities can be regarded as something beneficial to the country. It is not impossible for Cheng Haiyi to get a commutation of his sentence.

"My level is not enough to make an exploration team, but if I encounter someone selling stolen goods, I will call the police in time and try to help you recover your losses."

Bai Meixi rejected Ali's proposal. She felt that the tomb robbers might come again tonight, and everything would be clear by then.

When night fell, the desert was quiet. Bai Meixi carefully observed the situation outside in the space. Sure enough, those people were back again. They sneakily ran to the potatoes and started digging the ground without saying anything. .

Bai Meixi found that several people were men, and they all had camels behind them and seemed to have weapons.

She released the two snow leopards from the space. The two snow leopards were adults and their sharp claws could penetrate the body of any animal.
