When drunk, he mistook his sister-in-law for his wife!

In their opinion, the Populus euphratica tree planted by Xu Yang would not survive!

They have lived there for so many years, so they naturally know how terrible the temperature in the northwest desert is between two and four o'clock in the morning that day!

The temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius, while the temperature on the ground reached 70 degrees Celsius!

During this period of time, the creatures in the desert must find a suitable place to block the sun, otherwise they will be burned alive by the sun!

Therefore, in their eyes, although Xu Yang's seedlings are durable, they cannot survive in this desert!

Everyone quickly returned to their residences, and some even ran directly back home and took a cold shower to cool down their body temperature!

Hot weather!

Xu Yang also returned to the Northwest Desert Management Office under the leadership of Director Liu Gensheng!

Orders have been issued from above for Liu Gensheng and Xu Yang to cooperate well!

So Liu Gensheng came to the office and had a simple meal with Xu Yang.

Then, I introduced Xu Yang to the place where they planted the seedlings!

According to Liu Gensheng, this plantation is very large, with about ten trees!

Xu Yang looked at the small trees all over the ground and couldn't help but ask.

"Director Liu, these seedlings you planted are so good!"

"Oops! With all due respect, with the seeds we have cultivated now, not even 1% of the 10,000 Populus euphratica trees will survive after spring!"

When Liu Gensheng said this, he looked ashamed!

Xu Yang couldn't believe his eyes. Of the 100,000 lush Populus euphratica seedlings, only less than 1,000 survived. How tragic this was!

But this also shows how bad this area is!

Xu Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart because he had obtained the system's special skill - "Super Populus euphratica".

If he plants all the poplar seeds, he can ensure that his survival rate is at least 95%!

However, Xu Yang did not tell Liu Gensheng what he was thinking!

He doesn't believe in himself at all!

Just wait until Liu Gensheng sees that the eighteen Populus euphratica trees planted today are still alive!

When the time comes, if I tell you my plan, I will definitely get Director Liu Gensheng’s strong cooperation!

It's past 2 noon now, which is what the Ma family calls the "dead place".

On the outskirts of this desert, an old white poplar tree about six years old was lying there quietly. The branches were covered with dead leaves, and even the trunk was cracked, and the black wood below could be seen!

According to common sense, it is impossible for a 6-year-old Populus euphratica to happen when it is growing vigorously!

The weather has been very hot these days, so the originally lush willow trees have been scorched!

The yellow sand on the ground and the steaming water vapor make the leaves continue to fall!

But the scorching sun has ruthlessly turned this land into scorched earth!

As time goes by, the originally healthy Populus euphratica finally reaches its end at the moment when all the leaves fall off!

In fact, this kind of thing happens almost every day in the entire northwest desert!

When trees fall, they will be swallowed up by the yellow sand, and then spread towards the ground little by little!

Wait until it gets dark and the temperature gradually drops!

Some creatures that originally lived in the desert have come out of their burrows in search of food!

At this time, the northwest desert finally revealed its gentle side.

This is probably the magic of nature. When she becomes scary, she will make people shudder, but when she becomes as gentle as water, she will give birth to countless lives!

All night, neither of them spoke.

Early the next morning!

Village Chief Ma led a group of people, with great curiosity, to the Populus euphratica tree that Xu Yang planted yesterday!

They walked to 18 newly planted poplar saplings.

Everyone was stunned. They discovered that these poplar trees did not die, but sprouted many new shoots!

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes!

This is not in line with their expectations at all!

This, this is okay?

You know, yesterday’s temperature was only 42 degrees, but the temperature on the ground reached 75 degrees!

At this level of high temperature, let alone the newly planted poplar trees, even the poplar trees that have survived for several years will die under the high temperature!

"Village chief, what's going on?"

"You ask me, I'll ask who to go with!"

"When I left yesterday, I saw that the leaves of those small trees were all wrinkled, as if they were about to die. How did they survive yesterday's heat wave?"

"Could it be that someone dropped those saplings in the morning?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Perhaps, this is the only reasonable explanation!

But soon, everyone denied it. When they came, they didn't see any traces.

"Is it possible that they changed the traces last night, so after one night, the traces disappeared!"

"At times like this, if you can plant a tree like this and survive for one night, that would be amazing!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

And, as the village chief said, if those poplar trees can survive for one night, it will be a major technological progress!

For a moment, the way they looked at Xu Yang changed.

As the saying goes: Young and promising!

Maybe, Xu Yang really has two brushes.

"No matter if it was planted last night or not, we still have to dig it up and take a look!"

A younger man spoke.

That's right!

Just dig them up and you'll know if they've been swapped!

"Did you get a shovel?"

"Did not bring!"

"No!"

Everyone shook their heads. They came here in the morning to see if those saplings were dead!

No one thought to use a shovel!

"Well, isn't this the poplar tree I brought back?"

One villager exclaimed.

"Lao Liu, is this really the poplar tree you brought back last night?"

"Old village chief, look here. I just got it back. There are two scars on the main trunk, right here!"

Lao Liu looked at the two scars with a shocked expression.

At this point, he suddenly thought of something, "However, the seedling I brought back did not have such leaves! Didn't it sprout overnight?"

Everyone gathered together and carefully observed Lao Liu's little tree!

"I remember, when Lao Liu came with the sapling, it seemed like he was going to die at any time!"

"But not only did it survive, but it also grew so many leaves overnight, it's really unbelievable!"

"Is it because of the master last night?"

"Of course, the big tree of Lao Liu was soaked in the potion he concocted!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was thoughtful.

If that child care expert can really cultivate such seedlings, then they will have a way to curb desertification!

Their farmland will not be swallowed up by the desert! (End of chapter)
