Facing Chen Lan's doubts, Mao Wenlong's face was full of smiles, the Central Plains region is a place where soldiers must fight. Since he chose to make his home here, he must protect the environment here.

Ordering people to plant trees on the mountain is also to do a little bit to improve the environment here. Anyway, this place will be his own home for a long time to come.

It is not possible to see the effect of planting trees in a short period of time, but from the experience of his previous life, Mao Wenlong firmly believes that the environment here will be improved to some extent.

"Ten years of cultivation, one hundred years of education. Planting trees is just as important as cultivating talents, you see there are barren mountains all over the place, and most of the vegetation has dried up and died. If we don't pay attention to it, I don't believe there will ever be a day of improvement in such dry weather. And it will only get worse until it becomes a complete desert and no longer suitable for human habitation. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong also felt a lot of emotion in his heart! Indiscriminate logging is quite common among the local people, and there is no concept of environmental protection.

Maybe there are still people who know that you can't cut down trees, but in the general environment, if you don't cut them, there will be no firewood to burn. So even if someone realizes it, they still can't stop chopping wood.

Chen Lan obviously didn't really mean Mao Wenlong at first, but she was a smart woman, and after thinking about it, she quickly figured it out.

She firmly believes that Mao Wenlong will definitely not do useless things, since he does this, there should be a reason for him to do this. As a wife, the only thing she has to do is try her best to help him complete it, which is the greatest support for him.

And Hong Ziyan, who was silent on the side, had bright eyes after hearing Mao Wenlong's words, and obviously seemed to understand what Mao Wenlong said.

In her opinion, Mao Wenlong planted trees just to enjoy the shade, like the big tree in the backyard of Mao's mansion now. When the weather is very hot, people feel very cool in the shade of trees.

Although her understanding is a bit simple, it can be regarded as understanding. After all, the ultimate goal of planting trees is indeed to help change such continuous dry weather.

The three of them walked around the farm and picked a basket full of fruits and vegetables, potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. After getting some of everything, the three of them got into the carriage and went back to the city.

By the time I arrived at Mao's Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and although there was no scorching sunshine, the air was still filled with a sultry atmosphere.

Entering the house, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan carried the vegetable basket and said that they would cook for Mao Wenlong personally, seeing that the two were full of enthusiasm, Mao Wenlong naturally would not disturb their passion in such a trivial matter, and agreed very quickly.

Mao Wenlong came to the front hall alone, and saw a young man in a green coat and a small hat rushing over. This person, Mao Wenlong, remembered that Chen Lan was specially found to serve his usual life.

Originally, Mao Wenlong was very resistant in his heart, in his opinion, the previous two little girls were good. At least it looks a lot more eye-catching, and I don't know what kind of purpose Chen Lan has to change himself to such a small guy?

Fortunately, later, Mao Wenlong learned that the little guy in front of him actually knew some martial arts. When Mao Wenlong asked, he learned that this little guy's name was Adou, and he was a local.

The martial arts he learned are still passed down from home, and Adou's family used to be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, at least in this Ye County, it is still quite famous.

Unfortunately, when his father was the chief arrester, he offended the county order in office, and was finally framed in prison, and after a hasty interrogation, he was beheaded.

In order to avoid the trouble of his family afterwards, the former county magistrate simply put the whole family in prison. It wasn't until the current prefectural ordinance came that Adou was free.

But in the end, he was the only one left to survive, and the rest were either tortured to death or starved to death. There are more than 30 people in the family, and only Adou survived.

Adou wanted revenge until he died, but he was not an opponent who had been promoted to the prefect at all. So when he saw Mao Wenlong's strong arrival, he had the idea of defecting to Mao Wenlong.

Originally, he wanted to join the army, but the Dongjiang Army had just arrived here, and it had not yet been able to deal with internal affairs, so naturally it would not recruit troops. Adou's dream of joining the army was broken from this!

Later, when he heard that Mao's Mansion was recruiting, he resolutely came over, and happened to be favored by Chen Lan and arranged to serve by Mao Wenlong's side. And the two girls who were originally serving Mao Wenlong were naturally asked back by Chen Lan, and they stayed by Hong Ziyan to serve them one by one.

Chen Lan's careful thinking naturally couldn't hide it from Mao Wenlong, just because he was afraid that he would harm the two little girls. In this regard, Mao Wenlong was very helpless, he didn't expect that he was such an unbearable person in Chen Lan's heart.

"Adou, why are you so flustered, didn't you tell you to pack up the carriage?" Mao Wenlong stopped and snorted coldly at Adou who came in a hurry.

Adou is indeed good, at this time he was a full five meters away from Mao Wenlong, but he dodged and arrived in front of Mao Wenlong's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Since he was arranged by Chen Lan's side by Mao Wenlong, he seems to have always shown his skills in front of Mao Wenlong, intentionally or unintentionally.

Mao Wenlong saw these completely, but never said anything? He knew in his heart that Adou couldn't just hope to be appreciated by himself so that he could be reused for him.

And he will be so anxious to mix up his personal appearance, it can't be just for revenge. Everything he had experienced had been investigated by Chen Jisheng clearly before he entered the Mao Mansion.

"Young master, just outside the mansion, someone sent a letter from Han Cheng." As he spoke, Adou took out a letter hidden close to him from his arms and handed it to Mao Wenlong.

As soon as he heard the news that it was from Han Cheng, Mao Wenlong did not hesitate, took the envelope and tore out the letter paper casually.

"Jin Yiwei commanded Ma Ying, and arrived in Ye County in two days!"

The short sentence in the letter made Mao Wenlong frown suddenly.

"Jinyiwei is actually here so soon!" Mao Wenlong muttered unconsciously.

Adou lowered his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he saw him suddenly kneel directly in front of Mao Wenlong, and shouted loudly: "Young master, Adou is willing to do anything for you, and he will not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire." The only wish is to hope that the young master can avenge the villain's murder of the whole family! ”

After two months of extreme patience, Adou finally broke out at this moment. He never had anything to hide in front of Mao Wenlong, and he knew that he couldn't hide it.

However, he showed his extraordinary skills in front of Mao Wenlong, but he never got Mao Wenlong to look at him differently. Mao Wenlong has never expressed his position, which makes Adou very worried.

Today, no matter what, he doesn't want to let go of the opportunity, and he doesn't hesitate to have a direct showdown with Mao Wenlong!
