Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

97 Hundred-Year Golden Silk Cedar

Chu Tianbao shouted so loudly that the men who were staring at Bai Wutong or secretly looking at her turned their heads reflexively.

The scene was… quite awkward.

The smile froze on Bai Wutong’s face.

Cui Lingyi covered her mouth and teased Bai Wutong. “Fortunately, I’m a woman. Otherwise, I’d have to turn around.”

!!

Bai Wutong glanced at her and gave everyone an awkward but polite smile. She took Stinky off Chu Tianbao’s head and carried him to Qingfeng. Then, she dragged Chu Tianbao into the tent.

Before Bai Wutong could speak, Chu Tianbao sensed a dangerous aura and subconsciously smiled brightly at Bai Wutong.

In an instant, Bai Wutong’s eyes were blinded.

When Chu Tianbao faced her with this handsome face which happened to be her type, it was really not easy for her to get angry.

Bai Wutong glared at him. “You can’t say that in front of everyone in the future.”

Chu Tianbao quickly nodded. “Okay, wife.” He couldn’t say that kind of thing. Oh~ But he could still beat them up.

Although he answered seriously, Bai Wutong felt that it was a perfunctory response, so she did not seem happy.

However, Chu Tianbao took the initiative to stick close to her. He sniffed and looked at her, wanting to touch her.

Bai Wutong couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to. She grabbed his wandering hands and said, “What do you want!”

Chu Tianbao chuckled. “I just want to rub against you.”

The word “rub” was used by Bai Wutong to warn Chu Tianbao one night. Now, he had learned it.

How could he look so lusty? He even said it in such a… hooligan manner.

Bai Wutong’s ears were red, and her cheeks were red. She opened her mouth with difficulty and reprimanded, “Don’t say rub!”

Chu Tianbao shut up obediently and spoke silently to Bai Wutong with his deep eyes.

Bai Wutong felt like she had been… rubbed against.

Her entire body felt like it was on fire and it turned red from head to toe.

Bai Wutong was now a beautiful piece of white jade with a hint of red. It was a good color that Chu Tianbao had never seen before.

It made him want to get closer.

Chu Tianbao’s dark eyes were filled with great infatuation. Bai Wutong looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know how to tell it to stop beating.

…

The next morning, Village Chief Zhao came over happily and said, “There are many high-quality 100-year-old golden silk cedar trees in the forest ahead. Not only can we make a full set of furniture for Master and Madam, but we can also use them to repair a house.”

If the entire house was built with golden cedar wood, it would be too eye-catching. Bai Wutong felt that it was a little too extravagant and hesitated. “The furniture can be made of golden cedar wood. But let’s use ordinary wood outside.”

Village Chief Zhao smiled and said, “The golden silk cedar wood here is so abundant as if it’s free. If Master and Madam don’t build a house with it, Master Cui and the others will be too embarrassed to build with it.”

Since everyone’s houses were so eye-catching, her house would no longer be eye-catching. Bai Wutong nodded and said, “Alright, let’s use the golden silk cedar wood then.”

After hearing Bai Wutong’s words, everyone’s faces were filled with joy. They did not expect that they would be able to live in a house made of golden silk cedar wood one day. It was like a dream.

In addition to the golden silk cedar, there were many agarwood, sandalwood, and other precious wood.

Sheng Huaixuan stroked the wood and said regretfully, “If we could sell these wood, we wouldn’t have to farm.”

At the side, Lin Yue smiled and said, “Even if we don’t sell wood, we can choose not to farm.”

Sheng Huaixuan smiled and gave him a look to remain low-key.

There was a lot of manpower in the team. Everyone was full of energy after eating. From time to time, they could hear the sound of huge trees falling to the ground. Everyone was still thinking that they could pick up some firewood effortlessly later.

As the acting village chief, Wang Qi brought Wang Chang along. Suddenly, he said to the villagers. “This mountain has been the foundation of our ancestors for generations. They cut down so many trees and scared away so many animals in the forest. They have to compensate us! Otherwise, don’t even think about cutting down trees!”

The refugees were arranged here by the government, and it was also the government that gave them the authority to cut down trees and explore the land. The villagers looked at each other and thought of the losses they had suffered at Qingfeng’s hands. They said hesitantly, “Isn’t it a little inappropriate? If we don’t let them cut down trees, won’t the government blame us?”

“We didn’t say that we wouldn’t let them explore the land. We are just stopping them from cutting down trees. As long as they compensate us, of course the government won’t blame us.”

The officials could not blame them, and they could still get compensation. The villagers could not help but ask, “How can we ask them to compensate?”

Wang Chang said, “Just get them to give us all the trees they cut down.”

The villagers frowned. “Why would we want the trees?”

Wang Chang smiled. “Landlord Xiong needs to build his house and happens to need wood. If we give him the compensation, he will definitely thank us well.”

“Besides, they went too far. They hurt someone and made my father so angry that he became paralyzed. We could report them to the authorities and arrest them. They wouldn’t dare disobey and would hand over the wood.”

Wang Chang actually knew the town’s Landlord Xiong. The town’s Landlord Xiong was the richest person in their Woqian Town. By thanking him, he would definitely pay them quite a huge sum.

Everyone immediately looked happy and forgot their fear of Qingfeng and the others. Someone even asked, “What kind of repayment will Landlord Xiong give us?”

Wang Chang gestured a number. “A log can get us this amount.”

“One tael of silver? That’s too little!”

Before Duke Chu had occupied this place, they had also secretly sold wood. The good-quality wood was worth a lot of money.

One tael was really too little. Moreover, there were so many households in the entire village. How much could everyone get for one tael of silver?

Wang Chang and Wang Qi’s eyes met for a moment. Wang Qi said, “One tael of silver is already quite a lot. If we give more, everyone can buy a few catties of meat. Besides, if there’s no Landlord Xiong who wants to build the house, we won’t have a chance to do such a good business. Moreover, Landlord Xiong also said that if there are any big families who want to build their houses in the future, they will recommend them to take wood from us. It won’t be just this once.”

There were also smart villagers among them. When they heard this, they immediately knew that Landlord Xiong wanted to use them to get the refugees opposite to cut down the trees for free.

The Wang brothers must have received more than one tael of silver. Unfortunately, they did not know Landlord Xiong. Even if they knew that the Wang brothers had secretly hidden the silver, no one dared to say anything for the sake of those few catties of free meat.

Only the honest villagers were confused. “Isn’t this selling wood? Won’t the authorities arrest us for selling wood?”

Wang Chang looked at the idiot and said with a smile, “We’re giving a gift. Who in the government can control it? Besides, it’s allowed for refugees to cut wood. What’s wrong with that?”

Everyone thought about it carefully. There was really no problem.

...

If Landlord Xiong had asked for more wood, they might have been able to eat a few more catties of meat. Soon, someone echoed, “They’re just a group of outsiders. They should have compensated us when they came here! It’s just some wood. If they dare not give it to us, we’ll report it to the authorities. My face still hurts from this morning!”
