On the third day of the convoy's journey in the desert, a burst of vibrant green suddenly appeared in the unforgiving desert, albeit just a little green, and Harley and the rest of the carriage were excited.

"I don't remember an oasis here." Rex picked up the map and looked at it again and again, and compared it with the compass in his hand for a long time with the position of the sun. Eventually, he came to the conclusion, "This should be 'Bitterwater'." ”

Bitterwater?

Harry's mind was reminded of what he had been like when he left the desert: tawny mud walls, windswept sand, and a scrawny old man holding dirty children and looking at them pitifully.

The canine boy walked in the carriage in front of him, shouting at the top of his voice as he walked, "It's going to Kushui Town ahead, don't worry about it later, let the car craftsman park the car and go down!" ”

Rowling hurriedly said goodbye to Hallie and hurried to the front of the car.

As the craftsmen gradually poured the solution into the bottom of the car, the car began to sink gradually, and the six pairs of wheels gradually approached the ground, and the car began to slow down slowly.

As the speed of the carriage became slower and slower, many men and women ploughing appeared in the sand outside the carriage.

"What else can be grown in this sand?" Rex seemed to smell a business opportunity. After getting out of the car, he didn't rush into the city, but took Harley and walked into the sand.

It wasn't until they got closer that Harley realized that they had planted dead straw and dead branches.

He barely shouted, "Are you crazy?" ”

However, Rex pressed his patience and calmly asked a young woman on the side of the road: "This Ahsan, what are you farming?" ”

The woman smiled and handed him the wheat stalk in her hand, "This is not farming, we are fighting sand." ”

"Sand control?" Rex and Harley asked in unison.

The woman lifted her ponytail, arranged the straws in her hand neatly on the ground, and pressed them tightly into the sand with a flat-headed shovel, revealing only half of the sand, and thus drew a square grid of small arms on the sand with dry grass.

There were several groups of people behind her, each with a different tool to work with. Some use spears to punch holes in squares, others sow seeds into holes, and others take spoons to water them.

The plants planted in the square should be sea buckthorn, sand dates, flower sticks and other plants.

The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, "These plants are suitable for growing in the desert, as long as they are well protected, this plant should be able to survive." ”

Harley asked curiously, "So what's the use of all this dead grass?" ”

The woman swept the flat-headed shovel in her hand, "They can block the wind and sand, making it easier for these plants to live." ”

As he spoke, another wave of people came behind him sprinkled with shiny powder. Rex and Harley were suddenly stunned, it turned out to be soulstone powder.

"You're using precious soul stones as fertilizer?" It was as if Rex had seen countless gold coins buried in the desert.

The woman laughed, "That depends on what your definition of 'precious' is." Soul Stones can catalyze the growth of plants, and when plants grow, they can solidify sandy soil. I think it's more precious than soul stones to make this land green again. ”

Growing up in the desert since she was a child, Harley had only heard that the desert had swallowed up the village, and never imagined that one day humans would be able to reclaim the territory from the hands of the desert reaper, and couldn't help but sigh, "I have lived in this desert since I was a child. Every day, the food is mixed with sand, and the body is endless sand, and even opening your mouth to talk will pour half of the sand into it. ”

He was inexplicably excited in his heart: "Madam, can this desert be turned into a grassland again?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Where can there be such an easy thing, the 'grass square' is just one of the methods. ”

As he spoke, a few barbarians walked over with a tall demonic beast. The animal at first glance looks like an obese bear, and its body is covered with yellow fur. The round eyes looked curiously at their surroundings, and the wide mouth let out a satisfied chirp.

"This 'Savitmon' is also an important player in the governance of the desert." The woman touched the beast's head, "When it's full, it will swallow a lot of sand to help it digest." The excrement is very sticky, and it can be planted by mixing it with sandy soil. ”

Rex exclaimed, "This monster still exists, I thought it was extinct. ”

The barbarian who led the monster said: "They eat leaves and fish, and there is no food in the desert area, so they all migrate to the Dragon Bone Canyon in the west. It took us a lot of effort to find it. ”

The woman said, "This magical beast is very helpful in managing the desert, and we are also trying to breed and reproduce them. Anyway, if you try all kinds of methods, there will always be one or two that will be useful, right? ”

Hallie asked eagerly, "How much time will that take, and how much will it cost?" ”

The woman replied, "About sixty or seventy years." ”

Harley's mouth opened wide in shock, "That's going to take most of my life." ”

The woman shrugged, "We can't finish it, our descendants will continue to do it." ”

The corners of Hallie's mouth twitched inexplicably, "At that time, maybe we were already dead......"

"So what?" The woman wiped her sweat and continued to bow her head and plant the withered grass, "At that time, your child will not eat food mixed with sand, will not be disgraced all day, and may be able to swing under the shade of the trees." ”

Neither Hallie nor Rex were speechless.

The two walked back to the train with doubts in their minds, and Rex suddenly said, "Governing the desert is a loss-making business no matter how you hear it." ”

Hallie nodded.

Rex asked, "Do you think anyone would be trading at a loss?" ”

As soon as Hallie was about to answer, she saw Rowling looking at him by the train with her mouth pouting: "Where did you go, why didn't you get off the train and find you?" ”

She took Hallie's hand, "Come on, let's go find my sister." ”

With that, she took Harley and Rex into town briskly. Inquire all the way to the makeshift town hall, where two men with antlers are checking at the door: it is Philip and Finx.

Rowling doesn't know Filip, so she goes to Finks to inquire about Lydia's whereabouts.

Finks, of course, knew that Rowling was Lydia's good sister, and his face was a little unhappy. But before she could make things difficult, Rowling was glared at by Filip.

"I'm sorry, my sister is not sensible." Filip smiled apologetically at Rowling. Suddenly, I saw a beautiful "girl" behind her, and I didn't know where to look for my eyes, so I could only say to the air: "The princess is busy outside, but the saint is inside." ”

"Great." Rowling clapped her hands and laughed, "Uncle Copper Hammer just has a letter for him." ”

With that, she beckoned Harley and Rex to go in with her.

.

The letter with the brass hammer in his hand without smiling had an indescribable expression on his face.

This letter is really not very well written.

First of all, there are a lot of grammatical errors, and some strange colloquialisms, such as: "I think these 'mulberry people' are bullied by other countries all day long, and if we give some benefits, they may probably give us something, maybe it may be money or 'mulberry products'." ”

Considering that this was the first letter written by Copper Hammer in his life, Buxiao decided to keep it safe. However, when I think of the official documents in Manniu Town now, if they are all like this, if they don't smile, they will inevitably show a desolate expression.

Putting down the letterhead, the unsmiling gaze had bypassed Rowling and landed on Rex and Hallie.

After being scanned up and down three times by her unsmiling gaze, Harley couldn't help but ask, "My lord, do you have any instructions?" ”

didn't laugh and didn't answer, just let the attendant call someone. It didn't take long for the proprietress wearing a blue gray mask to push the door in, "Don't smile, is there any arrangement?" ”

Buxiao pointed at Hallie, "Is he Glenn's son?" ”

"Huh?" Hallie was stunned.

He was already very surprised that Rowling could recognize him as a man, but the person in front of him could even tell his identity, what kind of weird magic was this?

While he was still suspicious, the proprietress in the gray mask had already walked up to him. There was a hint of surprise in her voice, "You really look like your mother." ”

Hallie was so frightened that she subconsciously took a few steps back, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of knowing my mother?" ”

The proprietress smiled gently, "She is my predecessor's holy sister. Time has passed so long, even you have grown so big, I hugged you when I was a child. ”

"You, you're Aunt Samani?" Harley looked at the woman in front of her, wearing an ugly mask and a severed hand.

Rex's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the once beautiful saintess had become like this.
