A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"I have some personal business to do."

For this Xiao Fengdi just passed it by.

This kind of attitude made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it in depth, so Fang Shiqing naturally didn't ask any more questions.Since the players have already made their respective business agreements before, of course they have to leave enough privacy for their teammates, and they can't endlessly inquire about other people's itineraries.

Now that the incident of the crash is basically clear, except for the part that Xiao Fengdi didn't want to disclose, the rest can be regarded as an accident.

You Qingyu stood up: "Okay, it's about time to go back and plant trees."

After a lot of time wasted, it is impossible to get the ranking, but it doesn't matter.

Fang Shiqing also followed her out: "Then let's go to the event first, big brother, you have a good rest—"

"No need. I'm not injured, there's nothing worth resting," Xiao Fengdi got up quickly, "I'll go with you."

"but……"

"Actually, I'm pretty good at planting trees," he said.

Fang Shiqing originally thought he was joking, but when he officially started working, he found out that what he said was actually true.

When Xiao Fengdi arrived on the mountain, he didn't expect the unexpected situation at all, so he didn't bring the tools for planting trees with him in advance, so he could only temporarily borrow a shovel from Carpenter Qi.

The matter of planting trees does not have much technical content, especially here is a game, the process has been further simplified, and it is not like in reality, where you have to pay attention to "three burying, two stepping and one lifting of seedlings".The remaining steps are nothing more than digging holes to put trees, filling soil and watering.

However, at the very least, it is necessary to ensure that "the trees are planted" and not let the wind blow down - this is easy to say, but not so easy to do.

Hundreds of townspeople were scattered in a large area in twos and threes, and most of them only regarded this event as a field trip, chatting and laughing, and planting casually at the same time.Carpenter Qi was busy patrolling around, and when he saw unqualified plants, he hurried up to correct them, otherwise the unplanted saplings would be wasted.

Fang Shiqing's conventional farm tools did not include a shovel, so he was not proficient in using this tool, and it was difficult for him to find the correct posture for exerting force.

After tossing and tossing for a while, he finally dug an unsightly hole, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Looking back, I found that there were three more trees not far behind, lined up neatly, and the distance between each other was almost the same——

Xiao Fengdi was watering them one by one, and the bucket in his hand seemed to be borrowed from an NPC.

He found that Fang Shiqing was in a daze at him, so he temporarily put down the things in his hands: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just..."

Fang Shiqing looked at the small row of beautifully planted saplings from left to right, and couldn't help showing surprise and envy.

Planting trees in the game is faster than in real life, but it's a bit too fast, right?It took him nearly an hour just tossing a tree pit, and they have already made three or four trees.

"Boss, you're really good at this. I thought you were just talking casually."

"It's okay. I have some experience."

Xiao Fengdi lowered his head and continued watering. After watering, he selected a new location and planned to start digging the second row of tree pits.

Fang Shiqing couldn't help watching this scene.

On the one hand, he wanted to learn the basic method of planting trees by observing the opponent's movements;Even digging a hole is smooth and pleasing to the eye, and it looks quite comfortable.

Xiao Fengdi sighed and stopped what he was doing again.

"—Ah, I'm sorry!"

Only then did Fang Shiqing realize that he had been staring at him for a long time.He hurriedly turned his head, "Sorry, boss, I... am not very good at planting trees, so I want to see how you do it..."

This kind of behavior of staring at people feels like a pervert.

Xiao Fengdi was not angry, but put away the tools in his hand and walked over here.

"Planting trees is very simple," he said, looking at the tree hole that Fang Shiqing had dug. "You probably don't know how to use a shovel, right? It will be fine when you are proficient in using it. If you have any problems, you can call me directly. I will help you."

Fang Shiqing felt the shock again in his heart.

——Boss, you are too kind!It's too good! !

Afterwards, the other party did what they said, and really helped him explain the usage of the shovel.

Ashamed to say, Fang Shiqing grew up in the city and never thought of working by himself, and he never touched farm tools in his life.Before reclaiming wasteland, cutting down trees, etc. on the farm, it was all relying on the game system to automatically correct the tool proficiency of the farm owner.

Xiao Fengdi gave instructions patiently, and Fang Shiqing himself felt a little embarrassed later.

"Boss, you are really good," he praised sincerely, "I feel like you know everything, but I don't know anything. Before entering this game, I only dug tree pits in... the game."

By "games" he meant real-life video games.Although it is accurate to say that it is also in the game now, the realism here is not much different from reality.

Thinking of this, Fang Shiqing felt a little ashamed.Don't look at him as a so-called "farmer" now, but if he leaves the carrier of "game", he really doesn't know anything about the skills necessary for this position.

When he was praised bluntly, the corner of Xiao Fengdi's mouth seemed to raise slightly.However, he quickly lowered his head, concealing his changed expression, and continued to be busy with his work.

"It's nothing, it's normal, I didn't know anything before. This kind of thing just needs to be learned, it's not difficult."

His voice rose a little.

"When I was a middle school student, I couldn't even wash the dishes or sweep the floor. Not to mention using these tools." He nodded his shovel, "I had to learn it later."

Fang Shiqing didn't notice the change in his expression, but he could tell from his tone that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he couldn't help being happier too.

Speaking of which, after just experiencing the shocking moment of falling from a high altitude, he can adjust his mentality so quickly, he really deserves to be a boss.

"So you used to go to school normally? I remember you said that the Exorcists belonged to an aristocratic family. I thought you would all receive special training from childhood... or something."

Hearing these words, Xiao Fengdi was slightly taken aback, and the relaxed atmosphere around him suddenly became tense.

Fang Shiqing noticed it and felt a little uneasy.

Did you say something you shouldn't have said?He immediately shut his mouth, complaining in his heart for talking too much.If you have nothing to do to inquire about other people's occupations, can't you say something safer?

But this kind of atmosphere is just a hit and go.Xiao Fengdi turned around and handled the rope on the new sapling.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you about it," he said after a while, "Speaking of which, I'm actually a spirit exorcist who became a monk halfway through."

Fang Shiqing suddenly realized that he had stopped unknowingly, and quickly lowered his head to continue digging, trying to create the illusion that "this is just ordinary chatting while busy".

"Working in this industry itself is very dangerous, and it is easy to lose your life. I am the only child in my family. Of course, my parents don't want me to do this job. They hope that I can choose a more secure and reliable future. So when I was young, I basically had no contact with anything related to spirit removal. Just take the entrance exam normally like other people of the same age."

——However, in the end he became a spirit remover and even came here.

Something must have happened, but this is a private matter.

Fang Shiqing didn't know how to respond, so he hummed.

Xiao Fengdi didn't intend to continue talking, but just continued to plant the tree at hand.There was silence between the two, and it wasn't until You Qingyu came to check on the situation after a break that the atmosphere became better again.

"You have planted so many?" She was taken aback when she saw the neat rows of saplings, "...you don't have to work so hard, do you?"

"Well, it's already here, so I still have to do my best." Fang Shiqing.

"It's not too hard, just plant it casually." Xiao Fengdi.

"..."

Fang Shiqing once again realized the gap between himself and the boss.

At the end of the activity, the mayor counted the planting situation.

Xiao Fengdi planted about [-] trees by himself, but he arrived too late and didn't register his name, so he couldn't be counted among the participants of the event, so he couldn't get the prize.

He himself didn't care about it, but the mayor was a little bit sorry and wanted Zeng Xin to make up his registration.

Fang Shiqing was also very satisfied. He gained a lot from this festival. He successfully confirmed from the NPC the fact that Qingliang Farm relied on peach trees to drive out zombies. He knew how to buy peach trees and learned the basic skills of planting trees.

Seeing the sun set, the townspeople started to return to the town one after another, and several players were no exception.

When they were about to leave, Zeng Xin hurried up: "Wait a minute, I'll go back with you—"

"Don't you need to take the mayor back?"

"He said he was going to drink with Qi Bo, let me go first," Zeng Xin smiled, and took You Qingyu's arm, "It's really not easy, I haven't left work on time for several days, and I don't go around every day. Running around, I just have to stay at the noisy and noisy construction site, so tired... Brother Xiao, are you okay? No, didn’t you fall and hurt yourself?”

When speaking to Xiao Fengdi, she subconsciously backed away.Although he looked fine today, it was obvious that the shadow of the previous few days still remained in her heart.

"fine."

"It's okay...it's fine," she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "Well, you didn't rest the past two days, okay?"

"--What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... The town hospital also sells sleeping pills. If you can't sleep well, you can... think about it."

Zeng Xin shrank her neck and turned to talk to You Qingyu.

Xiao Fengdi revealed a trace of inexplicable color.

He probably really doesn't know how scary it is when he is low pressure.

■

The next few days were calm and uneventful, and it seemed that it was the 15th of the middle of the month—the day when the players agreed to exchange income and expenditure.

Fang Shi arrived at the square early in the morning and looked at the text on the bulletin board.

On the banner directly above, the number of tasks displayed has increased slightly compared to not long ago, but the range is not large, and it still has not exceeded 4 yuan.

In the past few days, Fang Shiqing himself could barely make ends meet.He spent 2000 yuan to buy four hens, and the daily output of animal husbandry is close to 300 yuan; but breeding takes a long time, and he can't recover the cost at once. He only temporarily makes up for the loss by collecting , so that I have no deficit for the time being.

There was a sudden tap on the shoulder.He looked back and was surprised to find that Zhao Jun was behind him.

Not to mention anything else, he arrived really early this time.

"How is it?" Zhao Jun smiled at him, "How's the recent business situation?"

Fang Shiqing actually had no ill feeling toward Zhao Jun. He nodded and said, "It's okay, it's still in its infancy. The so-called beginning is hard...how are you?"

"Almost, it's really difficult at the beginning."

Zhao Jun chatted with him first, then suddenly said: "Actually, I want to discuss something with you. Now there is an opportunity to develop an industry. I can't do it by myself. I need your help. How about it? Are you interested in working with me to do business and make money?"

"...ah?" Fang Shiqing didn't expect him to say such a thing, "Business? What kind of business? Cooperation? How to cooperate?"

And... why him?

"It's hard to explain clearly in a few words, how about it," Zhao Jun patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "If you are interested, why not go to my place after the meeting today? I will show it to you directly, and you will understand immediately .”
