Chapter 23 Cooperation
"trouble??"
Looking at the group of young men walking towards him in the distance, Xu Tong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Hehe, the forest farm has a lot of monks and a lack of meat. Old Bart's girl is the treasure of the forest farm. When you come, she will go out and go to the town health center. If it were me, I would also cause trouble for you."
The mourning dog grinned and explained that he had no intention of helping. He stood up and walked back. Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Xu Tong: "I'm waiting for you in the poplar forest behind me tonight. Come if you are willing to cooperate."
Looking at the departing figure of the mourning dog, Xu Tong couldn't help but frown. Looking at the water on the ground, he glued some of his fingers aimlessly to write on the stone slab at his feet.
"That's the student of yours who came to our place to jump in line!"
Several young people had already walked up to Xu Tong while they were talking. The leading young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, glared at him fiercely: "Get out of here, we don't welcome trash like you here."
"Yes, get lost. You are just a skinny guy with only three ounces of bones. How can you be a forest ranger? I'm not afraid that a blind bear will come and snatch you away at night."
Hearing them yelling and cursing, Xu Tong ignored them and just looked at the painted Nine-Gate Palace at his feet intently.
After casually drawing an X in the upper left corner, he looked up at the leading young men and took out a beef cake from his arms.
The fragrant meat cakes were so shiny that several young people stared at them and couldn't help but swallow and spit.
I'm afraid they may not be able to eat this even during the Chinese New Year. What's more, they came back from the forest garden in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat. They couldn't stand the temptation.
"Want to eat? Come and play with me for a while. If you beat me, I will give you another pancake."
He pointed to the nine-square palace painted on the ground and the small puddle beside it, and said to the leading young people.
"Ha, what's the trouble with me? I'm just afraid that you can't afford to lose and cry!"
Several young people looked at each other and smiled. They had played this kind of children's game a lot. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a piece of cake.
"I'll give you a pancake first. If you lose once, I'll give you a delicious one. I also have two boiled eggs, a pancake, and two packs of biscuits. If you lose, answer my question. How about it."
Xu Tong took out the eggs from his arms and shook them. Boiled eggs were not something they could eat. It took a month for them to take out the eggs laid by the old hens in the forest farm and make two dishes. In this way, these young people People can't eat it at all.
What's more, there are rare goods like biscuits, and Xu Tong gave them a biscuit to eat first, so there is no reason why they would not be happy.
"I come first, I come first!"
Several people took the pancakes and tore them open to each other. While eating the pancakes, they played Jiugongge with him.
Several people played together, and everyone was particularly engrossed in the game. Once he won, Xu Tong immediately took out the delicious food and gave it to him.
However, Xu Tong still won once, and it was a fluke.
"What happened last night!"
he asked several young people.
Mentioning what happened last night, several people couldn't help but eat the meatloaf in their mouths. After looking at each other, they whispered:
"It was said that the director was poisoned, but the old man said it was the revenge of the old mountain god. But there is another theory that he dug up a treasure from somewhere not long ago, and there was a curse on the treasure."
"Yes, yes, that's the gold dagger. It's pure gold. It's so long and has a gem the size of a dove egg inlaid on it!"
Another young man started gesticulating.
After saying that, he was kicked by the young man at the side. He pointed at the Jiugongge on the ground and said, "That's a problem. Hurry up."
Seeing this, Xu Tong simply gave them all the food he had on hand: "If there's no more left, I'll give it all to you."
After saying that, he patted the dirt on his body and stood up.
"Hey, why don't you give up? Didn't you lose everything?"
Several people were enjoying themselves while sharing the meatloaf and eggs. Seeing that he was about to leave, some people couldn't help but ask.
Xu Tong waved his hand without looking back: "No more pee, no more pee, maybe next time."
"No more pee??"
Several people looked at each other, wondering what the relationship between the Jiuge Palace and urine was. In the midst of confusion, someone suddenly seemed to understand something and looked at the dried puddle beside him with wide eyes.
After a while, the meatloaf in my hand suddenly lost its flavor...
"vomit!!!"
When the old people at the forest farm walked out of the cafeteria, they saw several of their young men lying on the ground vomiting unconscious.
When I walked over and took a look, when I saw the eggs and meat patties they threw on the ground, my face turned black immediately. I raised my stick and beat them until they cried for father and mother.
"Hey, Comrade Xiao Chen, you came back just in time. We were planning to find you."
As soon as he arrived in front of the hut, the deputy director of the forest farm came over to meet him and took his hand enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao Chen, there was an accident at our forest farm yesterday and I couldn't contact you in time. ,terribly sorry."
The deputy director looked to be in his fifties, and he was also an old leader of the forest farm. Xu Tong waved his hands, showing a harmless smile, and couldn't help but look behind the old leader out of the corner of his eye. .
I saw a young girl standing behind him, who was the daughter of Old Bart just now.
She is in her early twenties, probably because she has been exposed to wind and rain all year round in the mountains. Her skin is slightly darker than that of a normal girl, and her eyebrows have a kind of heroic spirit that ordinary men don't have.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Chen, my name is Yang Guanjin, you can just call me Xiao Jin. Thank you for saving my father. This is the gift I prepared for you. Don't be polite."
Xiaojin speaks concisely and clearly, and her voice is loud and clear, with a straightforward and straightforward attitude that makes it easy for people to like her. It's no wonder that these young people in the forest farm seem to be incompatible with her.
As she spoke, she gave him a deerskin coat. There were several pockets sewn on the deerskin coat, and the cuffs had patterns of fish and flowers. It looked like it couldn't have been made in a day or two.
The deputy director patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Jin is from the Bai tribe. This is their Bai tribe's unique costume. He has been making this costume for half a month. It is very precious. I heard Old Bart said that you saved him twice." , I gave this dress to you, Xiao Chen, please cherish it."
After saying that, his voice changed: "Since you are here too, let Xiaojin take you into the mountains to get familiar with it. Next month, she will be transferred to work at the health center in the town. From now on, the forest protection work will be handed over to you. Got it!"
"Serve the people!"
"Okay! You guys should be busy then. I still have things to do over there. I will hold a reception banquet for you after the recent troubles at the forest farm are resolved!"
After the deputy director finished speaking, he hurried to the office to discuss how to deal with the old director's death.
"It's already very late today. You've been traveling for so long. You should have a good rest tonight. I'll take you into the mountains early tomorrow morning."
Xu Tong nodded with a smile and watched Yang Guanjin leave, the smile on his face gradually fading away.
He looked thoughtfully at the deerskin coat in his hand, turned around, imitated the tone and expression of Yang Guanjin just now, and walked step by step towards his room.
Every expression, every detail, even the way Yang Guanjin looked at him and the angle, except for the completely different face, everything else was exactly the same.
It wasn't until he walked to the door and put the deerskin coat in his hand in the air that his demeanor returned to normal.
"strangeness??"
He picked up his deerskin coat from the floor and muttered a few words before turning around and closing the door.
At night, after a hurried meal, he did not go back to his room, but instead walked towards the poplar forest behind the forest farm.
As expected, the mourning dog was sitting on the big rock in front of the woods waiting for him.
Seeing him coming, he casually took out a burger and gave it to him: "Would you like some?"
Xu Tong patted his belly and looked full, but did not take the burger from the mourning dog's hand.
"What kind of cooperation method?"
The mourning dog jumped down from the stone and said: "I have special props. As long as I smell it, I will definitely recognize it. The special smell on your body cannot be smelled by others, but it cannot be hidden from me, so when you come, I will recognize it." I’ll recognize you.”
Xu Tong said nothing and looked at the mourning dog quietly.
"The other three guys haven't come yet, which means their missions are different from ours, and may even conflict. Do you think the two of us can be their opponents??"
Sanggou stared at him with his eyes, and his tone gradually became colder: "I'll give you a piece of advice. In the script world, the most terrifying thing is not the weird things, but the people."
Looting and killing will not stop here, but will become more vivid, because those rare props and indispensable script points can be obtained through trading or plundering.
Sometimes the reward for killing a player is much higher than an adventure in a scripted world.
"How about giving this to you to show my sincerity!"
The mourning dog took out another small bottle and handed it to him: "This is a temporary amplification potion. After drinking it, no matter how injured you are, it can give you thirty minutes to save your life. This is a rare item. How about it? It's interesting."
Xu Tong took the bottle and put it in his props book. Sure enough, the tips given in the props book were the same as what Mangou said.
"It's a good thing, but are you sure I'm worth the price?"
He took the bottle in his hand again and looked at the mourning dog with a half-smile.
Mangou shook his head directly: "It's not worth it, but I have no choice."
"Forget it, I won't take advantage of others!" He put down the potion in his hand and left without looking back.
Sangou was stunned, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that this guy actually refused.
"Don't go!"
Seeing that Xu Tong was about to leave, Sanggou hurriedly called to him and said helplessly: "I received a side mission to protect the golden dagger, which means there will definitely be something wrong with the dagger tonight. I need someone to help." I."
After saying this, Xu Tong received a task prompt, [Sanggou has initiated a task sharing with you. 】
[Side mission: Golden Dagger]
[Mission goal: A dagger made of gold will naturally attract the greed of countless people. It is destined to be a sleepless night tonight. Protect it and don't let anyone steal it. 】
[Task tip: The value of the dagger may not be money. 】
Looking at the mission information sent by the mourning dog, Xu Tong finally showed a smile on his face. He put the potion away and said with a smile: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, actually... I am a veterinarian!"
Hearing this, Sangou's eyes widened and he stared at Xu Tong: "You're fucking tricking me!"
