Day by day in the infinite game

After breakfast, the players carried the shovels they had prepared and followed the villagers to the village chief's house.

Lao Yang, who was holding a shovel, frowned and looked at these serious-looking young people. He finally nodded, but still warned in a deep voice: "I don't ask for any help from you, I just hope you don't cause trouble."

It’s done.”

The players nodded helplessly.

The tone of this warning that makes people worry is really embarrassing.

If you want to change the village chief's opinion, it seems it's time to show your true strength.

The village chief took the lead, followed by a small group of villagers, followed closely by the players, and an instantly growing team stepped into the desert.

Compared with the taciturn village chief, several other villagers appeared to be very honest and talkative. In a short time, Lao Tian, ​​a master of interpersonal communication, had successfully infiltrated the villagers and started chatting with each other "old brother" one after another.

"Brother, if we plant trees here, will the survival rate be high?" Tian? Brother? Polygala came online.

"How can it be higher?" Villager A shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face, "The wind and sand here are strong. Sometimes the seedlings that were planted so hard the day before were blown away by the wind the next day, and they had to start over again, resulting in losses.

Even if the sapling doesn’t say anything, my heart aches.”

"Ah? Is it so difficult? What should we do?" Lao Tian stared.

His silly expression obviously pleased many people. A village woman wearing a headscarf even turned her head and glanced at him: "What can we do? Let's plant it again. After planting the saplings, we need to use branches, stones, etc."

Strengthen the seedlings to minimize the possibility of them being blown away by the wind."

"Yes, we will plant again after the wind blows away. This is how we came here. No matter how distressed or angry we are, we can't give up. We must persevere. You see, the trees and bushes around us are all made by us slowly and step by step.

It’s accumulated.”

Villager A looked at them with eyes filled with joy, like a parent seeing their child finally grow up.

The players listened quietly, feeling suddenly heavy in their hearts.

Soon, we arrived at our destination.

Lao Yang turned around with his shovel, and the other villagers spread out without waiting to be greeted to check on the planting status of the seedlings.

"You can move freely, but please be careful where you step. Planting seedlings is not easy, so please cooperate. In addition, don't go too far. There are many dangers in the desert. There are quicksands in some places. Once you fall in, it will be difficult to escape. I hope you all can

Take responsibility for your own safety. Okay, I won’t go on and on, just do it yourself.”

Lao Yang patted the black dog on the head, picked up the shovel and walked into the nursery forest.

The player team was quickly divided into several teams, led by their respective team leaders to observe the villagers.

Different from the tree planting situation commonly seen in cities, planting trees in desert areas is not as simple as digging a hole, placing trees, filling the hole, and watering.

The villagers almost crawled on the ground, inspected the seedlings that had been blown up by the wind, replanted them, and found dry branches to reinforce them. They repeated this action roughly tens of thousands of times every year.

"Uncle, what can I do to help?" Laojiu carefully avoided the seedlings on the ground and came to Lao Yang.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Lao Yang didn't refuse anymore: "First, follow me and learn to dig out the seedlings that can be transplanted."

"When you are digging, be careful not to use too much force, don't be impatient, and don't hurt their root systems."

"You do it once and I'll take a look." Master Yang demonstrated once and then asked Lao Jiu to try it out.

Lao Jiu, who studied medicine, was originally cautious and conscientious in his work. He kept in mind the key points of the village chief's instructions and completed the operation steps in slow motion but to the village chief's satisfaction.

Lao Yang patted the young man who impressed him and said, "Boy, you did a good job. These seedlings are our hard work and our hope. I believe you will take good care of them."

Everything went well on Laojiu's end, and the other players also sought advice from the villagers. Soon, the seedling forest was full of busy figures.

"Uncle, where should we plant?"

Carefully protecting the Haloxylon ammodendron tree sapling in his arms, Laojiu asked.

"Go to the west. The sand control forest in the east is quite large. Let's go over there and take a look later. The situation of the sand in the west is even worse. It is adjacent to a large saline-alkali land, which is Populus euphratica. Our patron saint in the desert can adapt there.

.”

Everyone hunched forward as much as possible to shield the seedlings in their arms from the wind. They all looked funny, but they made people feel extremely cute.

"There are some Elaeagnus jujubes on the trees here. They taste good. If you are interested, you can pick them and try them. You may not be able to eat them elsewhere."

Lao Yang pointed to a small forest nearby, his eyes full of nostalgia.

These Elaeagnus jujube trees were planted by his father himself. Now they have grown very high, nearly three meters tall, with lush branches, full of vitality and abundant fruits. If he were still here, he would be very happy to see this scene.

Bar.

…

"Uncle, shall we water the water now?" Lao Jiu followed Lao Yang's footsteps, asking questions back and forth.

They had just planted the seedlings next to a relatively mature small forest. The woods were mostly composed of Elaeagnus angustifolia, Salix salix, and Sea Buckthorn trees. With their presence, they could block part of the wind and sand for the seedlings to a certain extent.

"Well, water it." Lao Yang glanced at the serious Lao Jiu, his expression much softer.

They opened the water bottles they brought and began to carefully irrigate the roots of the seedlings.

Unlike other players who were busy taking care of the seedlings, Tang Qinqin was "chatting" with this group of tenacious plants.

Seabuckthorn: "I'm not boasting. Human beings have confirmed that my fruit has extremely high nutritional value. They call me the king of vitamin C. The nutrients it contains can promote regeneration, protect and nourish the skin, and delay aging."

Elaeagnus: "I'm not bad either. I'm called 'Desert Ruby'. As soon as you hear this name, you know my value and how popular I am. Not only am I sought after by humans, animals also like me very much. They eat me

I can help them release milk and raise their babies."

Salix: "Although my fruit is not very famous, I am very extraordinary. My branches are bushy and not afraid of sand pressure, my root system is developed, and my germination ability is strong. It is one of the main tools used by humans to prevent wind and sand. I heard that humans invented it.

On the 'Yunzhongshu' online platform, my name is well known and I am very popular. I still have a lot of value..."

Haloxylon ammodendron tree: "Everyone, please keep a low profile. Living in such a harsh environment, who of us is an ordinary person? There is still a human here. Don't let people read the joke and say that we plants are arrogant and immodest. I

Well, I don’t need to introduce more. I am also a powerful person used by humans to prevent sandstorms and stabilize sand dunes. I can be used as fuel, feed, or just Chinese medicinal materials. I am also praised by humans as the guardian of the desert and the ecology of the desert.

The benefits are great..."
