Chapter 6: Healing and Evolution
"This... I'm going to give you three days for nothing, you're still a kind person, you can really talk, but I said, respected farmer, I think it's better for us to sign the contract first, this... Jack didn't know why, but insisted on signing first.
"You're so annoying, didn't you say that you would sign it after the trial? Do you want to stay and work? If you don't want to, just leave quickly, I don't have time for you to ink. Loulan found that Jack repeatedly emphasized the signing of the contract, and he became a little vigilant in his heart, the last time he signed the contract, he directly sold his soul, and he didn't dare to sign the contract in this ghost place anymore, so he naturally insisted on not signing the contract first.
"This... Okay, I'll try it out for three days. Jack saw that Loulan's attitude was very resolute, so he had no choice but to compromise.
"I hope those boys don't come too soon!" Jack finally muttered something quietly.
"What do you say? What kid? Loulan's ears were sharp, and she actually heard it.
"Huh? Not... It's nothing, I mean it's getting late, so let's get to work. As he spoke, Jack walked over to the cornfield and began to pick the corn.
I have to say that Jack is quite quick to work, his movements are flexible and fast, jumping up and down in the cornfield, and after a while, he picked more than a dozen corn cobs down, it is strange to say, Loulan obviously looked at only two or three corn cobs on each corn, but Jack was able to pick eight or nine, as if he had to make up enough weight of ten catties.
And this time Jack didn't take off the big pocket on his back, but worked with the pocket on his back, it seems that working with Loulan, a self-proclaimed kind farmer, even Jack is insecure.
Jack picked the corn for a while, and suddenly found that Loulan was still standing aside, his eyes suddenly rolled, and said: "I said that the farmer, if you don't go to open up the wasteland, come and pick the corn with me, and those who work hard deserve the joy of harvest." ”
"No need, I'll just watch you pick it here." Loulan squinted her eyes and said: "After you finish picking the corn, you have to sow it quickly, you can't delay tomorrow's harvest, I have already put the seeds on the ground for you." ”
Jack: "。。。。。。 ”
Strange to say, after Jack finished picking the whole field of corn, the remaining corn stalks quickly turned yellow and died, and finally shrunk into a mess and melted into the black soil.
The corn picked by Jack was piled up into a small hill on the ground, during which the three reed hens also ran over to steal food, but they were also driven away by Jack, and Loulan did not lose even a grain of corn.
After picking the corn, Jack sat down next to the corn pile, and just wanted to rest, but Loulan suddenly said: "I said, dear Jack, if you don't sow the seeds now, it will affect tomorrow's harvest, so I think we should quickly turn the ground and sow seeds." ”
When Jack heard this, he immediately protested and said: "I just finished picking two hundred catties of corn, and you will let me turn the ground right away, you are just... ”
"What's wrong with me? Don't forget, but you offered to help me farm. Loulan's face sank when she heard this, and she said in a stiff tone: "My boss is here to supervise the work, you dare to be lazy, if I go to the wasteland, no one looks at you, you have to lie here and sleep." ”
Jack: "I'm not lazy, you have to let me take a breather, besides, we haven't signed a contract, I don't even have a salary now, I work for you for nothing, you still dislike me?" ”
"Yo ho! You still dare to talk back, okay, I can see it, you don't want to do it here at all, and I can't afford an uncle like you, hurry up and let me go. Loulan did not show weakness, and looked like she was determined by Jack's posture.
"I've been working here for a long time, and you're driving me away now? You're too ruthless, aren't you? At least I should take care of a meal, okay, okay, I can't do it. Jack sighed, glanced at Loulan helplessly, stood up, and walked into the cornfield.
Took out a miniature version of the small hoe from the baggage, Jack carefully turned over the black soil, and then planted new corn seeds, and then took out a miniature version of the bucket from the baggage, fetched water and watered the ground, this set of processes, Jack almost did it in one go, this time he was really not lazy at all.
"This guy has a lot of things in his baggage, and he looks a little like Tinker Bell, but he's too ugly." Loulan watched Jack, a free laborer, work the sidelines, and was still in a good mood.
The two tossed for half a day, and the sky darkened unconsciously, although it was summer, the days were long and the nights were short, but in this valley, as soon as the sun set, the light disappeared, and the sky was dark.
Loulan saw that it was getting late, so she packed up her hoe and bucket, and said to Jack, "Okay, let's do it for today, let's go, go back to dinner with me." ”
"Uh... Well, honorable farmer, I can't leave here, I'm here to help you guard the harvest, and besides, we can't get into your house. Jack glanced at Loulan's hut, and a look of longing flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? What do you call people? Why can't I get into my house? Loulan asked.
"Well, that home of yours is a forbidden place, and you have to be invited to enter it, don't you know how lucky you are? Becoming the owner of a dream farm is something that many people have dreamed of for thousands of years, but they don't have that luck! Jack said smugly.
"I never thought about this kind of thing, to be exact, if I had a choice, I really didn't want to enter this hellish place in the first place." Loulan pursed her lips and said.
"But..." Loulan suddenly touched her chin, then frowned slightly and said, "If you stay here alone, in the middle of the night, you won't take all my corn and run away, right?" ”
"What? How can you speak like that, Mr. Farmer, how can I, Jack, do such a sneaky thing, and I swear in my mother's name that if I steal even a grain of grain from you, I will not die a good death. Jack's face turned red with excitement, and he swore an oath.
"Hey! Don't you get excited? I'm just talking about it, but you're serious. Loulan saw that she had forced Jack like this with one sentence, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, so she said: "That's it, since you don't want to go to my house, then I'll go back and get you some food, you wait." ”
"Then dare to be kind, respected farmer, don't look at me as small, I can eat a lot of food, it's no problem to eat ten or eight tortillas, you can bring me more food." Jack said unceremoniously.
"Got it, but don't think about ten or eight, four or five is pretty much the same." Loulan casually agreed, and went straight home.
Dinner is still eight corn tortillas and a large bottle of water, the food at home seems to be linked to the crops in the field, what is in the field, Loulan can eat, although now there is only corn this kind of food, fortunately, the taste is excellent, Loulan does not feel boring.
Since most of the work was done by Jack today, Loulan only kept two tortillas for herself, and the remaining six were all taken to Jack.
Jack's food was very sweet, it was exactly the same as Loulan who hadn't eaten for a few days before, and Loulan couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Jack, you haven't eaten for a few days?" Eat slowly, no one will rob you. ”
"Hmm... Delicious... It's delicious," muttered Jack as he ate, the guy looked really hungry.
Leaving Jack here to eat with corn, Loulan first went to the river to wash, and then returned to the hut, Jack's arrival, so that he finally had a companion, he thought about bringing the coat in his closet to Jack, and used it as a shop cover at night, Jack was short, and this coat was enough to cover the bed.
Just when Loulan came to the wardrobe and wanted to take the clothes, she suddenly remembered that she looked in the mirror yesterday, so she took a look again, and soon, new words appeared on the mirror:
Mood Condition: Stable and relaxed, it is recommended to maintain.
Physical condition: low energy, it is recommended to eat some food.
Health status: healthy and strong, advice: nothing to say, come back every day and sleep, the body will always be healthy.
Current Physical Fitness Improvement Status: Physical Enhancement Stage.
"Healthy and strong? What about my illness? Why is it gone? Loulan suddenly discovered that her health had changed, and she was taken aback: "How is this possible, I am a terminal illness!" By the way, I said why did my head keep swelling last night, is it really a good illness? ”
"This is simply amazing, this dream farm, it seems that it is not a ghost place, but a blessed land for me!" Such a thought suddenly popped into Loulan's mind.
"And this strength strengthening stage, it seems to be true, my strength is indeed a lot greater, so this place not only cures my disease, but also makes my body better and better, it's amazing, good! From now on, I'm going to run this farm well, and there must be many benefits here that I don't know about. Loulan's mind spun quickly, and she soon remembered the warning in the farmer's manual before:
From now on, you have 8 hours a day and must spend time in the ranch until 12 midnight every day, and if you are not at the ranch all day today, you will be forcibly teleported back at 4 p.m., no matter where you are (as the ranch grows, the mandatory stay will gradually increase). )。
"So I should still have a chance to get out of here, and I have to come back for 8 hours a day, which is equivalent to going to work? This... That's okay. Thinking of this, Loulan's heart suddenly brightened: "What is exchanging souls for life, doesn't it seem like giving me a good job now?" This... Isn't this pie in the sky? No wonder Jack keeps saying I'm lucky, it turns out to be true. ”
Picking up the clothes in the cabinet, Loulan's mood was like wings, and she was about to fly happily, after giving the clothes to Jack, Loulan also went to the large wasteland behind the thatched hut to take a turn, and he had decided: Come early tomorrow morning to open up the wasteland!
