Xiao Jiu found Shen Wen to discuss the situation in the mountains. "Fourth brother, Sixth brother and I just walked along the cliff and found that there are a lot of wild palm trees near the mountain stream. They are almost a whole area. Can we make good use of them?"

Shen Wen: "Xiaojiu, good job. Let's ask my second brother to send people to find out the distribution of wild palm trees in the mountains. Those that belong to our territory will be preserved in situ. We will find a way to transplant the other palm trees nearby to our side and plant them around the factory area on the fence. They can be used as landscape trees. We will also plant three rows of palm trees between factories and on both sides of the mountain stream."

Xiaojiu: "That's great. We transplanted all the small trees and brought back the palm flakes from the big trees nearby. We can start production right away. Palm fibers can be used to make mats, soles, insoles, raincoats, ropes, and brushes. Palm leaves can be used to make rain hats, fans, and brooms. They are all valuable."

Shen Wen smiled and patted his shoulder: "Xiaojiu has grown up and has thought more comprehensively. I'll leave the planting to you. If you want to produce, you have to build a row of warehouses near the foot of the mountain to harvest the palm flakes, dry them and store them. Oh my God, I have to arrange for someone to build another factory!"

Seeing that his fourth brother was smiling despite complaining about building a factory, Xiaojiu also smiled happily, looking forward to the future. Although he was complaining, he was also full of hope. "Then let's go talk to the second brother about this!"

Nanchen was discussing with the captain of the Red, Yellow, Blue and Black team how to use the advantages of this mountain forest for future training. Seeing Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu coming side by side with smiles on their faces, he stopped talking and looked at his brothers, "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Wen smiled and nodded. "I have to ask my second brother for help again. Can you spare a team of people to go into the mountains to find out the amount of wild palm trees growing in the mountains nearby? If you find small trees that are easy to transplant, bring them back and we will plant them around the factory!"

Nanchen looked at the four captains and said, "Tomorrow, Heiyi, you said you would be on duty?"

Hei Yi's face was full of regret. "Yes! Hey, I don't want to be on duty either. I also want to participate in the training tomorrow."

Nanchen: "How about this, later on, Heiyi, you and Huangyi will take a team to the nearby mountains to find out where the palm trees are concentrated, and go hunting! Xiaosi, do you have any other requests?"

Xiaojiu took over the conversation and said, "I'll go with you. If we see any seedlings, we'll dig them up and mark them for the next time."

Nanchen pondered for a while, "You? You'd better take four guards with you. Don't go too far. Just spend the afternoon walking around the two or three nearest mountains. Where do mountain palms usually grow? Tell them and let them find them!"

Xiaojiu: "It usually grows on sunny land at the foot of mountains, valleys, and on both sides of mountain streams. If you encounter its ripe fruits in this season, you can cut them and dry them to keep the seeds."

Nanchen: "Then we just need to pick the fruits and dig the seedlings this time. Xiao Si can arrange special people to do the rest of the work."

Shen Wen agreed: "Second brother is more thoughtful. Xiaojiu, then follow Second brother's arrangement and bring a few cloth bags into the mountains."

The tasks were clearly assigned, and Hei Yi and Huang Yi stood up to gather the team members and explain the tasks. "Ten people from the Black Team and ten people from the Yellow Team will go into the mountains to hunt and look for a plant called mountain palm. They must pick fruits and dig up seedlings, bring hunting bows, arrows and hoes, and the rest of the team will cut trees and transport wood as usual."

"Yes, we will complete the task!" The team members responded one after another. Then, everyone stood up and prepared to go into the mountains to work.

Xiaojiu also called four guards, brought cloth bags and knives, and this team planned to go up along the river bank. Heiyi led the team to lead the way, Xiaojiu and the guards followed closely behind, and Huangyi led the team to protect the back. The group went up along the river bank. There were several mountain palm trees on the hillside near the entrance of the mountain stream. Xiaojiu asked everyone to identify them and remember their characteristics. "This is our territory, no need to dig. I have seen some near our forest. We don't need to touch these. Let's go dig mountain palm trees elsewhere!"

"Haha, okay, I got it!" The team members walked and laughed together.

Hei Yi reminded everyone in the front, "We are about to enter the mountain. Please be careful and watch out for prey. You can't go back empty-handed."

"That's impossible! We won't let go if we meet them!" Everyone picked up bows and arrows, swords and other weapons. They carefully explored the way while observing and listening carefully. When they first entered the mountain stream, they saw the winding stream flowing between the large and small rocks according to the mountain terrain. The water was clear and shallow. Only in the slightly wider and flatter terrain did it form a slightly deeper pond. The branches on the shore hung horizontally and obliquely above the pond, casting the shadows of the branches on the water. Here, besides the sound of water, there were only the sounds of their footsteps and the birdsong that came and went.

"It's true that the mountains are more secluded when birds are singing!" Xiaojiu whispered in admiration.

Since the first section of the journey was on our own territory, we didn't need to stop, so we moved at a very fast speed. Finally, we entered a small valley, which was a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountain stream was divided into two tributaries here. There were patches of wild palm trees here. It was probably due to the fertile soil accumulated at the foot of the three mountains for a long time, and these palm trees grew very well.

Huang Yi asked, "Do these still belong to us?"

Xiaojiu: "Some of them are, but the foot of the mountain on these two sides is not. We can pick the fruits here and carry them back when we come back. We can also dig the seedlings on these two sides. There is no need to move the big trees, these are all wild and currently seem to have no owner."

Hei Yi: "Okay, let's take a break here, dig seedlings, and pick fruits!"

"Yes," everyone responded, and some dug seedlings. These seedlings were the fruits that fell to the ground and grew again. There were quite a lot of them in this area. The fruits were hanging in bunches, and they needed to be cut with a knife before being harvested. Xiaojiu was walking around these mountain palms. The palm mountains that had not been mined by people were stacked together and grew really thick. The amount of palms in this small valley alone could make a lot of mats. Xiaojiu was excited, but now he was just out to investigate, and it would be great if he could bring seedlings back.

With so many people and great strength, they dug up all the seedlings that could be dug in just quarters of an hour and tied them into three large bundles, which conservatively estimated to have thousands of seedlings. They also harvested all the fruits that could be harvested and filled five full bags.

Hei Yi: "Put these here and carry them back later! There are two mountain streams now. Let's split into two teams. Mark the palm trees we see. No need to dig seedlings anymore. We can focus on inspection and hunting. I will lead the Hei team to continue searching along the river. Huang Yi, your team should have gone down from this branch. Let's come back here in an hour and gather together to go back together. How do you think?"

Huang Yi looked at the terrain of the two mountains and nodded. "It's feasible!"

Xiaojiu: "Then I'll go this way with Huang Yi."

"Okay! Let's go!" So everyone split up into two groups in the small valley. The mountains and fields are vast, with lush vegetation, and the beauty of nature can be seen everywhere. Xiaojiu followed Huang Yi's team into a valley. Suddenly, Huang Jiu, who was walking in the front, gestured for everyone to stop. Everyone hurriedly stopped, looked around, and listened to the movement. Sure enough, they saw several bushes in the distance of the valley shaking, as if they were arched by something, shaking. Huang Jiu mouthed "a group of wild boars!" Everyone's eyes lit up. Huang Yi asked Xiaojiu and the guards to squat in the bushes and not move, and used gestures to command the personnel to encircle them from three sides. This is when the advantage of high martial arts skills was revealed. Several people used light skills to disperse, and the slight sound could be ignored at all. Xiaojiu paid close attention to the movement in front, holding the knife in his hand tightly, and the guards also guarded beside him, picking up bows and arrows and aiming forward.

Everyone could faintly hear the wild boar's grunting and the rustling of grass. As the sounds grew louder, everyone concentrated and calmed down.

A moment later, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... several arrows flew through the air and shot at the wild boars. Instantly, the wild boars' piercing screams rang out in the valley. The wild boars that were hit by arrows rolled on the ground in pain, and the frightened wild boars ran around in all directions. Xiaojiu and the guards stood up excitedly and ran over. They saw several members of the yellow team holding down three sturdy wild boars and tying up their legs and feet. The wild boars were still struggling violently and screaming wildly...

"Hurry, hurry, just use the whip to tie the wild boar's legs. The grass can't tie it up at all." Huang Jiu shouted in panic while holding down the wild boar.

Huang Yi: "Give it a few punches and knock it out. Why are you still struggling?"

"Bang, bang, bang!" A few punches hit the pig's head. Huang Liu shook his hands and said, "Its skin is too tough! My hands hurt!"

After a lot of hard work, they finally subdued the wild boars, knocked them unconscious, tied up their four legs, and cut long wooden sticks. Two people lifted a pig, and they both felt it was too heavy.

"Hahaha... Okay, three big wild boars at a time, that's enough! Let's go back!" Huang Yi laughed proudly.

The group returned to the small valley, took a short break, and waited for the return of Team Hei. Seeing that there was at least three quarters of an hour left before the agreed time, Xiaojiu and the guards collected some palm leaves, some of which were used to spin into ropes, and some sticks were cut as loads, so that they could carry the saplings and seeds down the mountain. Six people carried the wild boar, four people carried the seedlings, and a few people could carry some palm leaves on the back of their hands and go down the mountain. After a busy period, cheerful laughter was heard coming from far away. It was Hei Yi and the others who had returned. Xiaojiu ran up to watch the fun, and after a while he saw several people carrying the prey. "Oh, we got a wild deer!"

Hei Yi laughed, "Haha! I'm lucky. I met some wild deer coming down the mountain to drink water. I killed two of them."

"There are still a few wild rabbits," Heisan said, shaking the fat rabbit in his hand.

The joking man walked to the valley and saw three huge wild boars lying on the ground. He was so shocked that his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Awesome, awesome!"

"Let's go back and kill the deer and pigs! Hahaha, life like this is what makes it great!"

"Enough to eat for several days...!"

A group of people chatted and laughed and returned home with a lot of loads!
