Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 322 Autumn Fairy Tale

On the coast, under the tree.

Aqi took big bites of the cake in her hand.

It is lunch time now. Many workers like to stay at their workstations or go to the dam to get some fresh air, but she likes to come to Yalong Bay.

Aqi has a friend here.

“What a shame for those amazing trees.”

The tree monster Ye Qing couldn't help but mutter, "If it were me, I would definitely make those twisted trees grow better. They are in their current state without any proper care and are completely dependent on the weather. That pointy-headed savage is wasting nature's gifts!"

Ah Qi took a sip of water and said, "Although you may think his method is crude, it can grow trees quickly. Dead Sea Fruit is so popular now that many merchants have come to buy it."

"Just like our dam, many workers from other places think that working with machines is ridiculous and has no technical content, but they just can't come up with anything more suitable."

"I think if you and he plant trees together, it would have a better effect."

"...That guy doesn't speak the local language at all, and there's no way to use a translator." Ye Qing said, "There's no way to communicate at all, and he's been hiding in the tree and doesn't want to come down at all."

The tree monster always talks a lot to people he knows, but is not good at dealing with strangers.

Ah Qi used a fork to eat the cabbage noodles again: "I'll try. Although I can't have a conversation, I can understand the gestures."

"Don't go. That guy might be dangerous."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Aqi said.

The tree monster was a friend she made here. She first heard the tree monster mumbling to itself, and then she couldn't help chatting with it, and that's how they got to know each other.

Ye Qing had never been able to plant a tree successfully. Later, the tall man with vines came and replaced it.

This made the tree monster very dissatisfied.

But the other party produced irrefutable results - eight twisted trees growing in the Dead Sea exuded vitality, the twisted crowns were becoming increasingly dense, and the Dead Sea fruit produced on the trees was even more popular outside.

It is said that there are some mutated treasures in the Dead Sea fruit, and eating them can give you special abilities.

Although the chairman claimed that this was only temporary and a short-term incidental experience, he asked consumers not to take it too seriously.

But even if it is a short dream, it is still a dream, so it is still very popular.

The contrast between the two is too tragic.

At that time, Ye Qing's saplings hadn't even grown yet.

As soon as the mysterious man arrived, these tree species were activated and they immediately changed their appearance.

Ye Qing was originally invited by the chairman from the tree keeper. He was the best tree planter in the tree monster territory, but now he has been forgotten. He himself is too embarrassed to go to the chairman because he feels too defeated and cowardly. He stands in a corner every day, feeling sad.

Aqi patted the tree trunk and volunteered, "I'll go find him and see if I can talk to him. If you guys unite, you'll be invincible!"

Just like those outside workers at the dam.

They initially laughed at the machine, but later they improved it into a large machine. Now there is one machine at each workstation, which is easy to operate and does not require dangerous touch operations. The collection efficiency is several times higher than before.

……

The Pan tree grows in the Dead Sea. If a person steps into the Dead Sea, he will melt immediately like a lump of oil in an iron pot, leaving nothing behind except bones and clothes.

You can't go to the Dead Sea.

Plus the people who planted trees.

So there is no need to worry about the Dead Sea fruit being stolen.

The tree planter will come down from the tree at night.

Especially when it was pitch black with only some glow-orange mushrooms providing light, under the moonlight, the tall giant with big arms and legs would come down from the tree.

He stretched his body in the moonlight, and the vines wrapped around his body untied little by little, revealing the strong and powerful muscles underneath.

It seems that he really has no habit of wearing clothes.

No wonder the tree monster said he was a savage.

Aqi, who was peeping from a distance, was thinking this while eating dried sweet potatoes.

The strange thing is that the vine grew on his body, and the source seemed to be on his back near his buttocks...it seemed to be his tail.

What’s even more surprising is that the people who planted the trees actually bathed in the Dead Sea.

A layer of mist lingered on his body, as if it had some kind of power to absorb moisture from the air and wash away the dirt on his body. The spiky tufts of hair also became smooth, and the whole person seemed less weird.

The tree planter wrapped the vines around himself again and began to take a backpack out of the tree. Then he sat alone on a big rock on a remote coast, eating and looking at the moon.

He would sit cross-legged on the rock for a long time until daybreak, then return to the tree to avoid everyone's eyes and gazes in the sun.

Looks a bit lonely.

One day, Ah Qi bravely went over, and to show that she had no ill intentions, she brought a white flag made of branches and cloth.

Her approach startled the other person.

When the tall tree planter saw her, a strange look appeared in his eyes and he stepped back in a hurry.

"I have no ill intentions!"

"Wait a minute!"

"this."

The other party walked very fast and rushed all the way up the tree.

Ah Qi could only put her cloth bag on the shore, pointed at the dried sweet potatoes inside, and said loudly: "This is delicious, I'll give it to you."

Then she left.

Later, Aqi came again and found that the cloth bag was still there, but the dried sweet potatoes inside were gone.

The tree planter is still on the tree and refuses to come down.

This is a great start.

Using this clumsy method, Aqi tried to communicate with it through food.

The tree planter gave her a strange fruit in return. It tasted sweet and sour. She didn't know if it was Dead Sea fruit, but it was delicious. After eating it, she felt very energetic and full of strength. She didn't feel tired at all when working at her workstation.

……

Soon, a rumor spread on the dam that the tree planter who managed the eight twisted trees was very popular among the women recently.

"That guy is tall and strong, a genuine enhancer, and is highly regarded by the chairman. Even though his attire is a bit strange, it's normal that he's liked by women."

"There are quite a few women, including Sister Shuishui from the Shagang Bar. She has a killer waist and butt. I feel itchy just looking at her. She actually set her sights on that guy."

"And Miss Li Zi, she even rejected Mr. Sha's proposal before, but she seems to like him very much. I heard that she even gave him a handkerchief and Kuchikam sake."

"There were two girls from other places, they said they were from a big city, they were dressed really beautifully, they looked like a pair of sisters, they said they hugged and kissed the tree planter... City people really have fun."

"What are you talking about? I also heard that the guy played with two women and three men at a time! The cane on his body was from another guy of his..."

"How do we play with so many people?"

"That's right, I'll draw it for you." Everyone was talking about dirty jokes and love stories, and they were always excited.

Aqi also listened with great interest.

One of the workers suddenly turned around and said, "Aqi sister, I heard that you often go to the coast at night. Are you also in love with that guy?"

"No no."

Aqi waved her hand: "I just brought him some food. We didn't say a word. I was just curious."

"You have to be careful."

The worker immediately said seriously: "That guy is very wild and unruly, and has affairs with many women. Don't be fooled."

"And don't go there alone. There are no surveillance cameras there. If anything happens, it will be hard to call for help. That guy is an enhanced one. If he goes berserk, it will be a big problem."

"that is!"

"Be careful! Don't go there."

"Besides, he doesn't understand our language. No one knows what kind of person he is. We should be prepared for the worst."

Everyone was talking at once, reminding her to keep her distance from the other person.

Aqi could only say, "I know, I know."

She knew that this was everyone's good intention.

Fellow workers all treat her as their own sister. She is indeed not that old, only 16 years old, and there are very few women working at the Guangxu Dam.

In addition, she works hard, is conscientious and responsible, and has a carefree personality, which makes her very popular among men.

Most importantly, Aqi is ugly.

She has a big face, small eyes and a strong body. She is the kind of person that would make you think at first glance: Oh, what an ugly young girl, she is so pitiful.

A man's friendship with an ugly woman is usually sincere.

Aqi grew up as a clown and is used to it.

Her only regret was that her mother was very beautiful, but she inherited her father's appearance.

She also heard from many of her co-workers in private.

"Aqi is such a good woman. She never complains about anything, always does her job well, is always cheerful, and is in good health."

"Yeah, it's a pity..."

"I hope she can find a good man."

"Anyway, she is our Duan's sister, and we can't let outsiders bully her."

"That's for sure!"

Everyone was very nice to her. They would always leave a portion of delicious food for her and would tell her about good things as soon as possible. Not long ago, they also helped her get a job as a worker in the glider manufacturing industry, although unfortunately she failed.

Aqi is very satisfied with her life.

I can live every day without having to worry, the money I earn is enough to eat well, and the company is constantly launching so many new foods and equipment that employees can try and eat for free.

This is something other city dwellers can only dream of.

She still goes to the coast every night.

As rumored, there were indeed quite a few women there.

Aqi also observed it carefully.

These women either have curvy figures or pretty faces. They are the typical good-looking girls who are popular.

Facing them, the tree planters naturally and relaxedly climbed down the trees, made gestures to them at close range, and were much more friendly.

It was completely different from the horrified look on my face when I saw myself avoiding it.

but.

We just want to make friends.

We have to help Ye Qing contact him.

Aqi went to the Mushroom Forest to participate in the study and learned that even if they could not speak, they could still communicate with each other through sign language, basic pronunciation and other methods.

When facing Aqi, the tree planter still kept his distance.

She tried hard to communicate with the other person using body language, but he just looked confused and retreated back into the tree.

A pretty woman even said to her, "Don't bother. You are not suited to this job. You can't hook him. You should find another job. This kind of thing should be left to your sister."

Aqi could only explain: "I just wanted to talk to him about something."

The other party responded with a chuckle.

It's getting colder in autumn.

On the coast at night, the women were still competing for this enhancer, and in order to make themselves more conspicuous, they even wore less and less clothes.

This did attract a lot of other men, who showed all kinds of attention to them, but most of them were fruitless.

One day, all the women on the coast suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Maybe it was because the weather was too cold and they were wearing too little.

Aqi waited here for a long time, but the tree planter never came down.

However, two strange people appeared.

They were a man and a woman, wearing strange masks. The man wore a flowery mask that looked like a monkey, and the woman wore a red and white mask that looked like a fox.

The man said, "Niger wants to meet you. Would you like to talk to him?"

"Who is Nig?"

Aqi was puzzled: "Who are you?"

The woman next to him said, "Nige is what you call a tree planter. We are Nige's friends."

"Oh."

Aqi said: "If he wanted to talk to me, why did he run so far away when facing me?"

The man hesitated.

"Because you are so beautiful that he dare not get close to you."

"..."

Aqi felt that this was not a funny joke.

"This is true." The woman next to him added, "Otherwise we wouldn't have come here."

The man said, "I know this may sound a little strange, but it is true, please listen to me..."
