In the year 1033 of the new calendar, it is the height of summer. Under the scorching sun, the members of the Lacey Corps rode their horses and galloped quickly across the Pampas grassland, heading towards the Shennong Valley, 10 miles away.

This was the first task they received in the guild, to protect the harvesters of the Wright Merchant Regiment to complete the harvesting of an economic plant in Shennong Canyon for about 10 days. Since the amount of commission is directly related to the completion of the picking work, He Jinshui did not dare to slack off, and personally led the team to help, bringing all the backbone members except Amy to assist.

In the team, in addition to the original team of the gym, there are also Torres and Barton's brother-in-law Lehmann. Torres took the initiative to find He Jinshui, he coquettishly, rolled, wiped tears, and after a hard struggle, and the promise of no salary, he finally got He Jinshui to agree to his application to come to make soy sauce, which is called a good experience.

To He Jinshui's surprise, the little beauty Amy's reaction, who has always managed Torres to the death, did not object, but was extremely supportive, and finally contributed to his trip.

And Lehman was strongly recommended by Barton. It is said that this kid was a genius boy at the Neverwinter Academy before, specializing in combat priest skills, and has reached an intermediate level. Unfortunately, the family was in serious decay and urgently needed him to support the family, so he had to drop out of school early to join the army with Patton. Otherwise, with his strength, it is estimated that he will be able to graduate with Kaidong and them

As he spoke about it, Barton was stimulated by the alcohol and burst into tears. He scolded himself for his incompetence and inability to support Ruth's siblings financially, and instead dragged Lyman into the water and became a soldier. He felt guilty and begged Ho Jinshui to let Lyman join the legion and travel with him.

He Jinshui is a person who values feelings and misses the old, and thinks that Lyman is a little demon who is useful and full of potential. Therefore, without hesitation, he patted his chest and agreed, and promised to treat him equally and offer him a generous salary that was enough to make his family well-paid.

On horseback, Yoda, the fat chief manager of the business group, accompanied He Jinshui all the way to brag and chat, introducing him to the surrounding cultural landscape. Because he had seen the battle between the Reis Legion and the Storm Legion with his own eyes, he knew that the young man on the other side was strong in martial arts and nimble, so he didn't dare to look down on the other party at all, but instead made a low profile.

"Captain He, please look over there!" He Jinshui looked in the direction of Yoda's finger and saw that the woods were dense and lush for miles in the distance, and the high mountains on both sides were full of smoke, and there was a thin canyon in between, like a crack in the earth extending into the distance.

"That's Shennong Valley, the most famous producer of botanicals in the Catherman Empire, whose trade taxes play an important role in Neverwinter's economy. Yoda was in high spirits and talked eloquently: "Our trip is to take the risk of digging up an expensive stem plant called monkey fruit from the ground, so we need your help, and I hope that Captain He will support you!"

"Well, we will do our best!" He Jinshui nodded, he had done his homework before coming here, and knew that the reason why the other party came to the door was to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the harvesting team.

It is said that this monkey fruit only has an interval of about 10 days from ripening to decay, and it is only once a year, so it requires intensive excavation and drying. Because it is backed by the Rocky Mountains, wild beasts are infested in herds, and magical beasts are also common, which is a great threat to the lives of workers.

However, according to Yoda, the most irritating thing is the group of monkeys scattered on the tops of the surrounding mountains. The monkeys here are cunning, bold, and fierce, and they like to go out in groups and steal monkey fruit. In previous years, more than two-thirds of the monkey fruit dug up by the harvesting team would be stolen and used as their dinner. So this time, Yoda made a bloody investment and personally came to the door to entrust the Lacey Corps to assist in the guard.

He Jinshui and Yoda talked about the way of agriculture and commerce while riding horses. After all, he comes from a more civilized earth, and although he is not proficient in modern economics, he can be regarded as familiar with it and intuitive. He frequently quoted scriptures in the conversation, which made Yoda feel that his insight was extraordinary, and he was even more fond of it, and had the intention of making friends one step deeper.

When the team was about to enter Shennong Valley, there were suddenly screams and noises in front of them, and it seemed to be a pot of porridge. "What's the situation?" He Jinshui frowned. Riding his horse and whipping up, Arnold and the little madman followed closely on the left and right, and Alihan led the rest of the group to follow slowly, protecting the safety of the merchant group.

He Jinshui and others came to the front of the team and found that hundreds of monkeys kept jumping down from the big trees on both sides, rushing towards the workers who had already been stationed and started to work. They scratch and pounce, knocking the crowd to the ground, even on all fours. The workers kept retreating while holding their heads and shouting, miserable!

These monkeys are nimble, intelligent, and very cooperative. As soon as a worker falls to the ground, monkeys from all directions will rush up, snatch the bento they have with them, and climb up the tree to grab food. In a few breaths, dozens of workers' lunches were plundered, and they were so shocked that they lamented and cursed angrily.

"It's kind of interesting!" He Jinshui looked at the group of monkeys with burning eyes, pinched his chin and watched himself, thinking about how to catch these guys. At this time, the team behind arrived, and when they saw this spectacle, they shouted loudly, so that the monkeys could retreat. In the midst of the noise and panic, no one noticed that Torres was gone.

This kid was not good at riding horses, and was left far behind by a man. He was so angry and anxious that he whipped him again and again. The stallion under his crotch was unhappy, and he thought, "Lao Tzu works hard for you to send, but as soon as you are unhappy, you will beat me and scold me." Well, I'll strike!" and the stallion leaned back, kicked out his front hooves, threw Torres to the ground, and ran away without a trace.

"Bastard, stinky horse, I can't imagine you bullying me too!" Torres took a long time to get up on the ground, leaning his back against the tree, rubbing his aching ass and scolding angrily. There was silence all around, and there was no one around, and Torres was uneasy, and began to trot up with struggle, hoping to join the group sooner.

Suddenly, he was struck by lightning and did not dare to move. Not far from the bush and bush, a grizzly bear swaggered out, shaking its head and shaking its head, enjoying the sunbath.

It spotted Torres, and even though it wasn't hungry at the moment, it staggered over, "This guy is so thin, let's take it as a snack," it thought to itself.

Torres spotted the grizzly attempt, let out an "ahh He cried bitterly as he ran: "I don't want to make a snack, big brother let me go, can I introduce you to a female bear?"

One man and one bear ran 100 meters away, and Torres really couldn't run. He was leaning back against a pine tree, panting, his tongue sticking out exaggeratedly. At this time, the grizzly bear got closer and closer, and pounced wildly. He was desperate, picked up the pine cone on the ground and smashed it non-stop, scolding wildly while smashing: "I will stone you to death, I will beat ......."

The grizzly bear's footsteps suddenly stopped, without warning, and cut a deep trench in the soft earth. Its nose twitched, its eyes showed a look of horror, and it suddenly screamed and turned to flee.

Torres looked at the pine cone in his hand with a flurry of words, looking inexplicably strange. "Could it be that I can scare away the blind bear? It's so awesome, I worship myself too much! I must blow it to the master later." He thought triumphantly. At this time, the big tree behind him suddenly shook, and a figure fell from the tree.

Torres was so frightened that he looked up and burst out laughing. Standing across from him was a petite, golden-haired little monkey grinning at him.

Torres patted his chest and laughed loudly, "It's a little monkey." Here, here's one for you to eat!" he said, handing over the pine cone in his hand. The little golden monkey didn't seem to be afraid of himself when he saw each other, and handed over the food in a friendly way. It scratched its head, and suddenly reached out with its claws at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and grabbed the pine cone into its hand.

Torres propped his chin and watched with relish, as the golden retriever monkey nibbled on pine cones. When he was about to finish chewing, he picked some more from the tree and handed them all over. He had just heard the story of making trouble in the sky some time ago, and he had a good impression of the monkey, and at this time, he actually overlapped the little monkey opposite with the figure of the Monkey King in his mind, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The little golden monkey didn't care at all, just ate and chewed, and let the other party's white and tender little hands touch himself non-stop. The owner of the little hand became more and more bold, and actually followed the example of his old sister, and grabbed the monkey's ears at once. This time, the little monkey stopped, angrily slapped the other party's claws of Lushan, and disappeared into the woods at once.

"Great Sage, we have been living in the forest these days, and you are welcome to come and visit!" Torres said with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly into the woods, startling countless birds and flying away.
