The Big Landlord

From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and back from the other side, Wang Ben shuttled through the jungle for a whole morning, and ran more than half a circle around Daqing Mountain. He was very tired, and he also had several cuts on his body, let alone Agarwood, except for the cluster of agarwood trees before, not even a ghost was seen.

Yes, the fantasy of getting rich by picking agarwood is completely shattered. It is really not advisable to get something for nothing. It is better to grow medicinal materials honestly.

They planted Dendrobium candidum together, bundling domesticated seedlings on the trunks while constantly learning from everyone. This group of workers has close ties with medicinal seed dealers and has been helping users grow medicinal materials for a long time. Although they have not read any books, their knowledge and experience in medicinal materials are vast. It is much richer than him. I will be dealing with medicinal materials for a long time in the future. It is always a good thing to learn more.

With the skilled help of this group of workers, half of the 90,000 seedlings were planted on the first day. At this rate, it would only take a little over two days to plant them all, which is very efficient.

Early the next morning, Wang Ben followed everyone to the mountainside as usual, preparing to continue planting.

"Squeak!"

As soon as one foot stepped into the planting area, several small mountain mice suddenly ran past his feet and almost climbed up the instep. He was so scared that his feet jumped and he quickly retracted, almost screaming.

He didn't dare to act recklessly anymore, so he quickly picked up a tree branch and beat it hard in all directions on the nearby grass.

"Hey!"

While driving away, they shouted loudly.

"rustle!"

More than a dozen mountain rats ran out of the grass, fleeing in panic.

This forest was fine yesterday, but why did so many rats suddenly appear? Wang Ben felt something was wrong and hurriedly checked around.

On the tree trunks planted yesterday, many Dendrobium officinale seedlings showed signs of being bitten, and their tender leaves were incomplete. There were even a few bold little mountain rats climbing on the trees, blatantly biting them. Hold the seedlings and enjoy the delicious food without restraint.

Not only that, there are also many mountain rat holes on the ground, with fresh soil piled next to them, which are obviously just dug.

Well, the newly planted young seedlings were attacked by mice, and Wang Ben couldn't help but frowned.

Although Daqing Mountain is not a virgin forest, and there are no large beasts such as tigers and lions, it has been unmanaged for too many years. It cannot be compared with the fields at the foot of the mountain. There are so many rats. If not dealt with in time, these Dendrobium seedlings will be destroyed sooner or later. Will be chewed up.

There is no way to deal with it at the moment, so we have to plant it all first. Fortunately, the mice only bite the seedling leaves, so it won't have much impact in a day or two.

On the third day, we continued to follow the workers to the mountainside, preparing to plant all the remaining seedlings.

I once again paid attention to the condition of the seedlings planted earlier, but found that the damage was not as high as yesterday.

Maybe the mouse suddenly became kind-hearted and started to move away. Wang Ben felt a little relieved.

"There's a snake!"

Only a few minutes after the planting started, one of the workers suddenly exclaimed and quickly stepped aside.

Looking at it, I saw that there were indeed snakes beside the grass not far away, but not one, there were five or six!

Although these snakes are not big, they are scary enough. One by one they are spitting out their snakes and looking around. Two of them have obviously swollen abdomens and are coiled motionless on the ground.

Not only that, but two also appeared on the tree, and one of the workers almost touched them.

Suddenly something like this happened,

Wherever anyone dared to continue planting, the workers, without exception, all began to retreat, preparing to run away.

"Don't panic, everyone, retreat slowly, be careful where you step, don't touch the grass!" Wang Ben quickly greeted and followed everyone slowly retreating to a distance. He finally understood the reason why the seedlings were not so badly damaged overnight. It turned out that the mice had attracted the snakes. Maybe there were more snakes hidden in the grass nearby than just the few I saw.

Fortunately, there were only a few clumps of seedlings left, and when they came to a safe area by the roadside, a few more courageous workers finished planting them in twos and twos, then took their wages and left quickly. It is estimated that they will be invited to this forest in the future. Don't dare to come again.

In the huge forest, only Wang Ben's lonely figure was left. He was also very scared. Looking at the snakes in the distance made his scalp numb and his heart trembled. He also wanted to leave, but There are so many dendrobiums growing here, and he can't just leave them alone.

In fact, having these snakes is not all bad. Having them to deal with mountain rats will drive them away sooner or later.

But this couldn't solve the problem. The dendrobium seedlings were only a little bit small. By the time the snake drove away the mountain rats, they would have been eaten away. What's more, he would have to come more often in the future. How could he dare to approach in this situation?

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Suddenly there were several bird calls in the air, and a group of mountain eagles flew over. After hovering in the air for a while, they all landed on the big tree. There were more than twenty of them.

After staring at the ground for a few seconds, several of the mountain eagles suddenly raised their sharp claws and swooped down, heading straight for the forest land planted with Dendrobium candidum.

"Chi!"

Their target is the group of snakes on the ground, and their movements are very agile. With one bite, they take away two in the blink of an eye. A mountain rat also suffers a disaster and is about to become the meal of the mountain eagle.

After successfully foraging, the mountain eagles flew back into the air again to share the delicious food with their companions. Their sharp eagle eyes were always paying attention to the movements on the ground.

Due to this sudden change, the group of snakes on the ground dared to stay outside so arrogantly. They entered their holes, burrowed into the grass, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Wang Ben also crouched and ran down the mountain quickly. The mountain eagle wanted to hurt people, so he didn't dare to stop any longer.

Fortunately, this mountain forest is far away from the Diling Temple, otherwise, Hu Xianniang and the others might be hurt.

Looking in the direction of the mountain forest, Wang Ben couldn't help but think that one was big and the other was big. Well, now he didn't even have the chance to see the Dendrobium from a distance.

He really didn't expect that growing Dendrobium officinale would attract so many kinds of animals, forming a food chain!

I originally wanted to take advantage of the planting time to ask the construction team to lay a mechanical plowing path along the mountain road, but in this situation, how could I dare to ask people to come.

From that day on, whenever he wanted to check the growth of Dendrobium officinale, he had to go up the mountain in the evening. He used the principle that eagle eyes are ineffective at night to avoid the mountain eagles. At the same time, he carefully paid attention to whether there were snakes under his feet, which were far away. Watch.

After a period of observation, to his surprise, the influence of Dendrobium officinale did not seem to be too great and it was still growing vigorously. Although it was inevitable to be bitten, under the double care of the snake and the mountain eagle, the mountain grew stronger. Rats cannot be too rampant.

Well, that’s all I can do for now, I just don’t know what to do when the harvest comes.
