Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

160 How Could There Be Such Good Thing?

Tao Yinzhen finally found Lin Chenghai.

Lin Chenghai glanced at the mother and son and said impatiently, “Go home and look for him first. If you can’t find him, I’ll get a few people to help you find him.”

Tao Yinzhen brought her son home. Seeing how tired he was, she said to him, “I’ll go find your father. You should rest at home. If he comes back, hide and don’t provoke him.”

Little Cat nodded. “I understand, Mother.”

Then, Tao Yinzhen shouted as she returned to look for Lin Chenghai.

No matter how unwilling Lin Chenghai was, he was still the village chief. If there was one less person, the officials would ask him questions. Therefore, he still gathered a few people to accompany Tao Yinzhen to find Ren Shuixing.

It was so dark, and Tao Yinzhen was not familiar with that path to begin with. She really could not find Ren Shuixing.

The men were getting impatient. They said to her, “The forest ahead is too deep. We can’t go any further. If we can’t find him, we’ll continue tomorrow.”

Tao Yinzhen shook her head. “What if something happens? Please help me search again!”

Tao Yinzhen was still a little afraid that Ren Shuixing would turn into an evil spirit and come looking for them after he died.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly fainted, either because she was too agitated or because she had been injured too badly by Ren Shuixing.

The villagers looked at each other. They could only carry her back first.

At dawn, Tao Yinzhen slowly opened her eyes. Little Cat was lying by her bed and called out excitedly, “Mother, you’re awake?”

Tao Yinzhen nodded and suddenly thought of something. “Where’s your father? Have you found him?”

Little Cat shook its head. “Everyone went to sell fruits to Madam Bai. No one helped us find Father.”

Tao Yinzhen looked at Little Cat and held his hand. “Let’s go look for him again.”

Tao Yinzhen and Little Cat went out the door and followed the mountain path from the previous day. They fumbled around again and shouted for Ren Shuixing.

After a long while, they finally found Ren Shuixing at the foot of the hill.

Realizing that he was not dead and had only fainted, disappointment flashed in Little Cat’s eyes. Tao Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief and her emotions became complicated again.

Since she had found him, she could not kill him. She could only save him.

The mother and son did not have the strength to drag him up the hill at all. They could only return the way they came and look for the villagers of Lintian Village for help.

At the entrance of Youjia village, the villagers of Lintian Village were all holding up the fruits that they had worked hard to gather during the night. They even shouted for Bai Wutong to take all the fruits.

Bai Wutong only accepted the fruits so that the children could earn some pocket money.

Now that they had picked so many fruits and blocked the entrance of the village, and Bai Wutong did not need so many, they were clearly making things difficult for her.

When Zhao Erwa saw this scene, he immediately became anxious and angry. He shouted at the people from Lintian Village, “Madam Bai won’t accept your fruits!”

He regretted helping Little Cat and the others.

The villagers had been dreaming of becoming rich overnight. How could they watch as their dream was shattered? They shouted, “You said that you will take as much as you can. Aren’t you lying now? You have to give us an explanation!”

Village Chief Zhao and the others rushed over when they heard the sound and frowned. “Madam Bai said that to the children. Are you children?”

They immediately said, “We have many children at home. This is what they plucked overnight.”

Zhao Erwa said angrily, “You’re shameless!”

What was face? A face could not give them food.

The villagers of Lintian Village went to call their children over and asked them to kneel at the entrance of a village and shout, “Madam Bai, please accept our fruits!”

They were really shameless!

The group of children knelt on the ground in unison. All of them were sallow and thin. Some people in the village recalled the days when they were on their journey of escape and sighed again.

They were all poor, but they couldn’t do this!

After Sheng Huaixuan found out what had happened, for the first time, he revealed a fierce aura and chased the people away. “Hurry up and leave. Your child is pitiful, but that’s not a reason to threaten Sister-in-law.”

The villagers said indignantly, “Madam Bai didn’t say anything. It’s none of your business. What if she just wants these fruits!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared.

Everyone immediately made way. For a moment, the villagers of Lintian Village thought that a noble had descended from the sky. When they reacted, they hurriedly shouted enthusiastically.

“Madam Bai, look at the fruits our family picked. They’re big, fresh, and sweet. It’s such a big basket. Madam, just give me 100 copper coins!”

“Madam Bai, our fruits are bigger, fresher, and sweeter than theirs. We only need 80 copper coins!”

“Madam Bai, we also have cherries, prickly berries that are refreshing and succulent in addition to the mulberries. All of them are only 50 copper coins!”

“Madam Bai…”

Everyone fought to be the first to make their offer. They were afraid that the wild fruits that they had painstakingly picked could not be sold, so the price kept dropping.

When Cui Lingyi saw so many fruits, she frowned and asked, “Little Phoenix, do you still want to accept them?”

The previous day, they had just used the remaining fruits to make a few jars of wine. There were so many fruits here that it was impossible to finish them all.

Zhao Erwa looked at her with tears in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Madam. I’ve caused trouble for you.”

If he did not acknowledge Little Cat and the others as his lackeys, this situation would not have happened.

Bai Wutong patted his head comfortingly. “Their actions have nothing to do with you. You don’t have to be sad or vent your anger on your friends. After all, no one expected this.”

Hearing Bai Wutong’s words, the children who had told their parents at home cried sadly.

The children cried, and the adults took the opportunity to act pitiful again. “Madam, we haven’t eaten our fill for a few days. Please take pity on us!”

What they said was not a lie. There was indeed not enough food. The money that Village Chief Wang earned from selling food the previous year had long been used up.

If it weren’t for the fact that there was really no way, they wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to pick wild fruits overnight.

Bai Wutong comforted Zhao Erwa, who was crying, and said to Cui Lingyi with a smile, “I plan to make some more wine.”

...

How much money could Qingfeng and the others earn just by farming? Bai Wutong planned to make a batch of wine and ask Qingfeng and the others for help. Then, she would give them money.

In any case, alcohol could be kept for a long time. The longer it took, the more the ancient people liked the taste. Sooner or later, they would be able to recoup their losses.

If the fruit wine she brewed was selling well, Bai Wutong even planned to let Qingfeng and the others build a wine workshop to provide more income to earn a stable living in the future.

After all, after they joined her back then, Bai Wutong felt that she had to be responsible for them.

Cui Lingyi was shocked. “Didn’t we make a lot yesterday?”

Bai Wutong smiled. “We can make some more.”

After she decided, she said gently to the villagers of Lintian village, “You’ve picked too many fruits. I don’t want so many. Give me five kilograms of mulberries, cherries, and prickly berries each.”

She only wanted 15 kilograms. The villagers of Lintian Village who were eager to sell their fruits would definitely be anxious so they would offer the remaining fruits at an extremely low price.

How could they scheme against her and even want to earn money?

Bai Wutong had always been a person who distinguished between gratitude and grudges.

They had thought that Bai Wutong would not want a single catty. After all, there were people in the village who were so unreasonable. If Bai Wutong did not want to buy them, they would not have the ability to force her to buy them. Now, she suddenly said that she wanted five kilograms of mulberry, cherries, and thorny berries each. The villagers of the Lintian village immediately became excited again and shouted at Bai Wutong, “Madam, we have them. Buy ours!”
