Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 346 Danger
Greed is human nature.

This is nothing surprising.

Xu Yue wasn't particularly interested in whether or how those people could be dealt with.

However, he had to admit that Lijia Village would be rented out sooner or later.

“Those people are obviously not going to handle this well,” Xu Jiangming said. “The people in Lijia Village aren’t stupid. Now that things have escalated to the town level, your classmate will probably have to step in.”

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently.

If she steps in to resolve the issue, then things will likely get better sooner than expected.

Actually, the farm is now focusing some of its energy on the desert.

Tian Yizhi has been in the desert these past few days instead of staying in the village.

“With the town government involved, the problem in Lijia Village should be resolved.” Li Xiurong looked at Xu Yue and said, “Then?”

"Then let's rent it."

Xu Yue naturally understood what Li Xiurong meant.

She still cares deeply about her hometown.

this is nothing.

It's just renting two more villages.

With the farm expanding, renting more land is only a matter of time.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiurong laughed.

On the other side, Xiong Yan and Betty had already arrived at the night view location.

"What a nice view!"

"So many people!"

Betty couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The night view goes without saying; this place has long been a popular spot for online influencers to take photos.

I don't know how many people came from the city at night.

They even opened a bus route for it.

There were already many people here, and with the development of the scenic area, it has attracted many tourists, so now there are even more.

It was crowded, but it was really lively.

Besides the night view, there's also delicious food nowadays.

The farmhouses have started offering late-night snacks, and some villagers have also set up stalls by the roadside.

Xu Yue didn't pay any attention to this.

However, Tian Yizhi charged a small fee for sanitation and other related expenses.

They did not profit from this.

The villagers, on the other hand, made quite a bit of money.

Some businesses are so successful that the pay is higher than the salary.

Of course, no one quit their job to run a business full-time because of this.

Business is about making and losing money.

If I'm not tired at work, and I can help out a little after get off work, that's fine.

After all, not all villagers' families work on the farm.

There are also those who don't work on the farm.

For example, those three companies.

However, it wasn't them who set up a stall first, but Xu Feng's daughter, Xu Wanting.

A primary school child, just to earn some pocket money, opened up a path to wealth for the villagers.

Then many villagers set up stalls to sell wild mushrooms.

The price is naturally higher than what the agricultural trading company charges.

Then all sorts of stalls appeared.

Is this place very big?

Betty asked about Xiong Yan.

If it were too small, how could so many people come to visit?
“The night view and night market aren’t very big,” Xiong Yan said. “However, my cousin has leased several hills around here and planted all kinds of flowers, which bloom all year round. Most of the people here are tourists from the city and the scenic area. Generally, tourists come here to see the flowers after visiting the scenic area in the mountains.”

"Blooming all year round?" Betty said. "That must be beautiful."

“I’ll bring you over tomorrow,” Xiong Yan said. “The scenery in the mountains is also very beautiful. There are waterfalls, seas of flowers, caves, ancient tombs, and a bird grove. Many birds gather in that bird grove, which is quite unique.”

"I want to see everything you mentioned now."

Betty laughed and said that going to see it now was obviously a joke, but she was actually quite eager to do so.

The two didn't stay out for too long before heading back to rest.

The next day, Xiong Yan took Betty to Huashan early in the morning.

They did not consider tourist attractions as their first choice.

Perhaps it's because flowers are generally more attractive to women.

We didn't go anywhere else.

They didn't even go into the mountains.

Playing mahjong at Wang Yun's house.

There's no other reason, it's just that the weather is too hot.

However, before going to Huashan, Xiong Yan took Betty to Xu Yue's house to pet the giant pandas.

Betty is actually good at mahjong, but her skills are worse than Zhang Ruoxi's and the others.

“She’s more addicted to mahjong than any of us,” Zhang Ruoxi said to Xu Yue with a smile. “She said many people abroad play mahjong, so wouldn’t that count as our culture spreading abroad?”

What kind of cultural dissemination is this?
Ok!

That seems to count.

Who dares to say that mahjong is not a part of Chinese culture?
"Are you guys still really fighting?"

Xu Yue curled his lip, expressing disdain and some incomprehension.

Of course, he didn't stop it.

Staying cooped up indoors all day isn't appropriate either.

Appropriate entertainment is still necessary.

"What happened to us?"

Zhang Ruoxi seemed unconvinced as she spoke, clearly dissatisfied with Xu Yue's expression.

"What's the point of chickens pecking at each other?"

Xu Yue said with a smile, but Zhang Ruoxi threw a pillow at him.

Chickens peck each other?

Deceiving too much!

Zhang Ruoxi clearly doesn't admit that she's bad at cards.

How is it bad?

I win more than I lose, okay?

"I can't be bothered with you," Zhang Ruoxi said. "I'm going to check out the short video Xiong Yan posted."

When Zhang Ruoxi said that, Xu Yue also became interested.

He then took out his phone and started looking at it.

He also followed Xiong Yan.

To be precise, Xiong Yan used his phone (which was off) to follow her short video account.

So it's not difficult to find.

The video that Xiong Yan was so engrossed in was indeed related to Betty.

I first met Betty, and then we had dinner together.

Betty's rave about food was also included in the clip.

Then we went to see the night view and had a late-night snack together.
Of course, there's also the video of petting the giant panda today.

Finally, a fleeting glimpse atop Huashan Mountain.

Without a doubt, the Huashan trip will be featured in the next video.

“Xiong Yan’s followers seem to be increasing rapidly,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “She seems to have gained tens of thousands of followers both before watching the video and after watching the video account.”

“Betty is still very popular in China,” Xu Yue said. “However, she really put aside her pride and let Xiong Yan include videos of her eating and drinking excessively.”

Xu Yue was certain that Xiong Yan had shown the video to Betty before releasing it.

This is the same as when she posted videos related to Liu Feifei, intending to show them to the other party.

Xiong Yan has done a very good job in this regard.

“There’s a reason why she’s so popular,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Otherwise, Sister Wang Yun wouldn’t have become friends with her.”

Xu Yue smiled, clearly not interested in continuing the conversation about Betty. Although he had a good impression of her, Xu Yue had no intention of befriending her.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if Zhang Ruoxi befriended him.

Even though he believed Betty still had a lot of trouble.

“Betty will probably stay here for a few days,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “She has already asked someone to investigate the power within her body.”

Xu Yue nodded.

This is a potential problem.

Unless Betty is too carefree or too naive, she couldn't possibly fail to react.

Once you realize what's happening, you naturally need to find a solution.

If there are special administration bureaus in China, then there should be similar departments abroad.

Moreover, Betty has such a great influence abroad that if a cultivator really wanted to control her through such means, the special department probably wouldn't stand idly by.

Such a situation is not allowed in China, and it is certainly the same abroad.

No government would allow it.

"The Dragon-Tiger Vitality Cauldron will be delivered to the academy tomorrow, and I need to go there," Xu Yue said. "Xiong Yan will probably take Betty into the mountains, so tell them to be careful."

"What danger could there be in the mountains?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Could there be giant pythons lurking around?"

“Wild animals are dangerous, but people are dangerous too!” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Once Xiong Yan’s video is released, everyone who has seen it knows that Betty is now in Peach Blossom Village. How many people do you think will be attracted to come here?”

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

She understood a lot of the meaning now.

Previously, when Liu Feifei was in Taoyuan Village, she attracted quite a few fans.

Wang Yun's relocation to Taoyuan Village has reportedly attracted many fans.

However, now that Wang Yun is pregnant, her fans haven't been bothering her much.

A few occasionally come, but they are all turned away.

There are security guards outside Xu Yue and Xu Jianghe's villa.

Ordinary people can't get in.

If there were no one to guard them, the number of tourists coming to take photos with the three giant pandas would probably fill Xu Yue's villa to the brim.

Those tourists who want to see the giant pandas will have to wait for them to go out for a walk.

As for taking photos together, I generally don't dare to.

After all, these three giant pandas are wild.

Moreover, giant pandas are accompanied by security personnel when they travel, in case of any accidents.

That's not just a national treasure, it also lives in the owner's house.

Many people on the farm actually assumed that it was Xu Yue's pet.

Of course, Xu Yue's family would never admit it.

The local forestry bureau officials wouldn't admit it either.

"Then I'll let the scenic area know tomorrow," Zhang Ruoxi said. "If we get recognized by fans, it'll be troublesome. It's fine in other places, but if it gets crowded in the mountains, it can be quite dangerous."

In most places, Xiong Yan would be perfectly fine acting as a bodyguard temporarily.

She had learned from Xu Jianglin when she was a child, but she didn't stick with it.

I wouldn't say I could take on one or two strong men, but I could definitely handle one or two men who weren't very strong.

Even Lu Zhenyu might not be able to beat her.

Of course, the two wouldn't actually fight.

Xu Yue nodded; indeed, he needed to say hello.

If something really happens, then things will get really interesting.

Although the infrastructure in the mountains is relatively well-developed, some places are still quite narrow and crowded is not allowed.

Nothing happened that night, and Xu Yue went to the academy early the next morning.

Before the convoy delivering the large cauldron arrived, Xu Yue first went to Liu Guoxing's laboratory for a stroll.

"Academician Liu, do you think the special substance inside that bushel can be extracted or replicated?"

Xu Yue's most crucial point was not the spatial principle, but the special substance.

Because that substance might be what prevents the things he makes from breaking when something is put inside them.

Whether it was really like that back then, we'll only know after we get used to it.

"It's still under investigation," Liu Guoxing said. "However, the extraction is very risky. No one can guarantee that if the special substances inside the container are reduced, the space inside the container will still be usable."

“If we can figure out that special substance, then we must be able to make it. We must make it,” Liu Guoxing said. “If a substance that can withstand spatial tearing were used elsewhere, you can imagine what would happen.”

What's the situation?
Xu Yue immediately thought of military applications.

It's used on airplanes and tanks; they can't be damaged by enemy artillery fire.
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think!
Xu Yue had never even considered it.

He's not as strategic as Liu Guoxing!
While others were thinking about national industry, Xu Yue was thinking about getting a spatial ring or something to give to his wife.

“If we can really make spatial artifacts like the douhu (a type of ancient Chinese measuring vessel), then the areas where they can be used will be even more numerous,” Liu Guoxing said. “Do you think there were many such things in the pre-Qin period?”

Xu Yue shook his head.

He didn't know, and he didn't think there was much of it.

Why haven't these things been passed down?

Liu Guoxing didn't seem to care that Xu Yue didn't answer and just shook his head. He then asked again.

It sounded like a question, but more like talking to oneself.

This thing can be considered a national treasure, so why has it never appeared before?
Perhaps that's why it hasn't been passed down.

“This measuring vessel is a magical artifact of the Farmer’s Clan. As for whether the Farmer’s Clan has any other similar magical artifacts, I do not know,” Xu Yue said. “However, I am not at all surprised that these magical artifacts have not been passed down.”

Liu Guoxing looked over with some surprise after hearing Xu Yue's words.

“My family’s books, such as Shennong and Ye Lao, have all been lost,” Xu Yue said. “If books are lost, how much more so are these ritual implements.”

Liu Guoxing remained silent.

Even agricultural works have not survived, let alone such "good stuff".

farmhouse?

If Mencius had not mentioned it in his writings, perhaps later generations would not have known that the Agricultural School was one of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

As the two remained silent, Xu Yue's phone rang, announcing the arrival of the people transporting the Dragon-Tiger Vitality Cauldron.

"Director Yan is here too!"

When Xu Yue arrived at the convoy, Yan Tian was also there, in addition to Jing Guohua.

The grain measure arrived, but Yan Tian didn't come; yet this great cauldron has disappeared?

Probably not.

"I came along by chance," Yan Tian said. "The main reason I came this time is to ask your grandfather to make a house call."

"My grandfather, making a house call?" Xu Yue asked in surprise. "Is he too badly injured to come?"

"Ok!"

Yan Tian nodded.

Why look for Xu Chengyang instead of Xu Zixu?
Clearly, he needs to rely on Xu Chengyang's internal energy to heal his injuries.

Wasn't that exactly what Jing Guohua did back then?

"When are you leaving?" Xu Yue asked. "My grandfather shouldn't refuse."

"Today is the best day ever," Yan Tian said. "Saving lives is like putting out a fire."

"Let's go to the clinic first," Xu Yue said. "You should know how badly the injury is, so we can bring some medicine with us."

Bringing medicinal herbs is indeed necessary.

Yan Tian knew very well that the medicinal herbs from Taoyuan Village had amazing effects.

“It won’t make a difference if we wait a little longer,” Yan Tian said. “You should settle them in first! I’ll probably have to carry that cauldron in yourself. Getting it onto the vehicle took a lot of effort.”

"Row!"

Xu Yue nodded.

That cauldron was also very heavy.

However, it's not as surprising as a large bushel, after all, its size is what it is.

Xu Yue knew the weight of the large cauldron since he had moved it out of the ancient tomb.

Without the Primordial Chaos Qi, he couldn't see it at all.

Even with the use of Hunyuan Qi, it was still quite heavy, much heavier than that Douhu.

This is likely related to the fact that the body itself is heavy.

However, the weight was still within his tolerance range.

The sight of Xu Yue single-handedly carrying the massive cauldron off the vehicle and into the laboratory still shocked everyone, especially the scientists who had come.
