When Lao Hu heard the news and rushed to arrive, the chaotic scene had just come to an end.

In the cold moonlight, seeing the felled trees piled up on the ground in a messy manner, Lao Hu only felt that his chest was suffocated, and the whole person shook a few times before he could stand still.

He didn't speak, but walked slowly to the fallen trees, and stretched out his trembling hands to help them up.

This is a hard-won forest where he has devoted his entire youth and all his efforts, which is his pride and his hope.

A suppressed cry of pain rang out in the moonlit woodland.

The culprit Jia Dabao and the tall and thin man have been tied up, and the corresponding evidence has been recorded, just waiting for Lao Hu to come and see his attitude.

The rest of the people are just some "accomplices" who take money to do things, and after being robbed of the logging tools and the boss being arrested, they don't want to cause more trouble, so they honestly stand aside with their hands.

Tang Qinqin tried to communicate with the trees whose trunks had been cut down.

Normally, trees will face death after being cut down, but some trees can be rescued and revitalized when the damage to the tree is less severe, and there are dormant buds.

Of course, this is very unlikely under normal circumstances, and not all tree species can germinate dormant buds at the right time.

None of the trees that were cut down were in good condition.

Jia Dabao and the lumberjacks brought by the tall and thin man cut down the tree almost flat against the roots of the ground, and in this case, even if there were dormant buds on the tree, they were cut down together, leaving only the bare roots.

Tang Qinqin walked over and quietly poured the diluted water of life on their roots and bare growth rings.

Their vitality is so badly damaged that they don't die with the water of life. It's just that in recent months it takes a period of "recuperation and recuperation", after which they can grow new shoots and rejuvenate themselves.

When the time comes, it should be regarded as a comfort for Lao Hu.

"Uncle Hu, don't be sad, you will make them pay the price they deserve." Tang Qinqin walked to Lao Hu's side and helped him up, who was silent.

Lao Hu stood up and slowly regained some strength, and when he passed Jia Dabao and the tall thin man, he turned his head and glared at the two fiercely.

"It's good, it's good, you ......" Old Hu's red eyes were full of regret and anger.

"Lao Hu, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please let us go, I will pay for these losses! Jia Dabao cried to Lao Hu with tears in his eyes.

"It's me who got lost in my mind for a while and did a foolish thing, Lao Hu, for the sake of our old acquaintances, forgive me this time......"

The tall and thin man didn't speak, just stood in place with his neck bent.

Under the moonlight, Jia Dabao's sobbing and begging for mercy continued to echo in the silent forest.

Lao Hu shook his head, no longer looked at Jia Dabao with an embarrassed face, and walked over with his feet raised.

"Get them where they need to go."

With a long sigh, he staggered out of the woods.

After Lao Hu left, Dong Mingzhe and the others were not at ease, and arranged for several players to follow behind and secretly escort them.

Others stayed by the two "Timber Thieves" and the Lumberjacks, waiting for dawn to pack them up and send them to Fufa along with the evidence.

……

After this incident, Lao Hu's originally happy spirit was visibly restrained and became taciturn.

He spent his days in the saline-alkali land, busy with the tasks of soil improvement, reclamation and tree planting, tirelessly.

Tang Qinqin didn't want to tell him that those trees would rejuvenate, after all, it sounded too fantastical.

Jia Dabao and the tall and thin man confessed to what they had done.

After all, the video is so clear and has no dead ends that it completely records their "incriminating evidence", which makes it impossible to deny.

According to the provisions of the State Forest Law, illegal or indiscriminate felling of forests or other trees in national nature reserves shall be punished heavily.

Jia Dabao and the tall and thin man knew that they could not do it, just for the small profit in front of them, they went to destroy the precious forest that was not easy to grow, and both of them finally liked to mention a silver bracelet of special significance, and lost their freedom to accept labor reform for several years.

This incident also played the role of "killing chickens and monkeys", and frightened those who bought timber with the same mind as them did not dare to come back for a long time.

When the players are about to complete the game mission and leave, Lao Hu accidentally discovers that the trees he once thought were certain to die have quietly sprouted new shoots.

He couldn't help but reddened his eyes again.

This time it's because of joy.

What could be more uplifting and comforting than seeing hope?

When the players followed Lao Hu to learn how to govern the saline-alkali land, they were allowed to open the live broadcast of the game throughout the whole process, and many rich and idle people were infected by their fearless spirit of hardship, so they contributed money or efforts to drive more people, and there was a wave of national saline-alkali land reclamation and tree planting in the society.

Due to the destruction of many mature trees in Lao Hu's woodland before, in order to prevent accidents in the outcome of the mission, each player overfulfilled the task as much as possible.

[Saline Soil Planting Quest completed.] Teleport to the next scene. Countdown 01:59:59. ]

Lao Hu's eyes were sour, and he lowered his head so that the players who came to say goodbye didn't notice it.

"Okay, don't be verbose, if you want to go, leave quickly, don't rely on me grinding and chirping. I still have a lot of things to do, and I'm very busy. ”

After that, he picked up the large enamel jar and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

"Uncle Hu, let's go, you have to take care of your body, I've caused you trouble during this time!"

"Uncle Hu, take care!"

"Uncle Hu, there will be a period later!"

"Uncle Hu, when we come back one day, let's eat a whole sheep feast together!" With such a flamboyant personality and a tone that doesn't treat himself as an outsider, there is no one else except Lao Tian for the time being.

"This stinky boy!" Lao Hu was stuffy in his heart, and he couldn't help but break the joy and chirp.

Because of the arrival of this group of young people, there is a large new forest area full of seedlings of various tree species next to the originally mature forest area.

He can feel the vigor and vitality of those saplings, and in time, a new and complete forest ecology will be formed, which will have a beneficial impact on the soil improvement, water, soil, and climate of this saline-alkali land, and slowly improve this once barren land.

He sometimes feels a little trance, as if through this group of young people, he saw that he was also full of enthusiasm, insisted on faith, and worked hard in an ordinary post.

"Let's go, you should go to the wider sky. I hope you can always stay enthusiastic and stay true to your original intention. Lao Hu said it with a rare emotion, and waved his hand at the players.

There is a feast in the world, and it is the normal state of life to continue to move forward with regrets.

And what we can do is to do it along the way, and cherish it.
