Feng Mojun and his two companions were successfully apprehended. After nearly two weeks, they finally recovered evidence of their salt trafficking, along with correspondence and account books. With the evidence and account books, the three fled the cave with several hunters. Just as they were about to succeed, they tripped a trap and nearly fell into it. The sharp spikes within the trap nearly pierced them like a sieve. Fortunately, their martial arts skills were impressive. After escaping the trap, they encountered a net. When the hunter Zong Hu was caught in the net, Feng Mojun and Ah Si used their Qing Gong skills to free him. In their hasty escape, none of them noticed the thick fog ahead, their bodies growing weaker as they walked. They realized they had hurriedly entered a miasma forest. Ah Si, "These damn bastards! Why did they stop when they were so close to catching up? They're deliberately driving us into this miasma forest." Feng Mojun listened, helplessly stabbing himself with his dagger to stay awake. Seeing this, the others followed suit, forcing them to flee in disarray. As they relaxed, Ah Si muttered, "I've finally escaped." Before they could react, arrows were launched. They waved their sticks to dodge, but deep in the woods, an arrow was aimed at Feng Mojun. The blue light on the arrowhead revealed it was poisonous. With a piercing sound, the arrow aimed at Feng Mojun, and he was struck in the chest. Seeing this, Ah San and Ah Si shouted, "Retreat, retreat! There's an ambush!" Zong Hu, Zong Bao, and Shang Tiesheng hurriedly carried Feng Mojun to another part of the forest, while Zong Hu, Zong Bao, and Shang Tiesheng stayed behind. After a night of effort, they evaded pursuit and found a cave. They entered the cave. Now they couldn't leave this dangerous place. Ah Si knew how to bandage something simply, and she didn't dare pull out the arrow, so she could only ask for help and sent out the hawk they used for communication.

After receiving the distress message, Long Linxiao traveled day and night, killing three horses. Finally, on the third night, he reached the foot of the mountain where they were. Following the code, the men found the cave. Seeing Feng Mojun, his face pale and dying, lying on a pile of grass, Long Linxiao quickly took out the life-saving and antidote pills Siyu had prepared for him and gave them to Feng Mojun. Feng Mojun, relieved to see Long Linxiao finally arrive, fainted. Through Ah San and Ah Si's accounts, Long Linxiao learned what had happened. He instructed An Yi to notify the Dark Night Pavilion to send personnel to protect Feng Mojun, and to send someone else to notify the prefect to immediately investigate their location. If it was too late, they would have to relocate. Inside the cave, an eight-foot-tall man in a cloak and a wolf-tooth mask roared furiously, "Useless, useless, a bunch of useless people! They can't even keep a few people under control." A fine white jade water cup fell to the ground. Kneeling on the ground was the leader guarding the cave. The chief knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake, but he still reminded them, "Butler, should we move to avoid their sudden attack?" Found this place. The hooded man in black clothes cursed angrily, "You are a bunch of idiots. You can't even do such a small thing. I show you that several people don't understand, and you let people escape. You are really a bunch of trash. Get out, get out. Hurry up and notify everyone to pack up the important things. The rest that can't be transported will be destroyed." The chief took the order and left. The chief muttered, "Feng Lao San let you escape again this time, but it doesn't matter. You planted our unique poison. Let's see how long you can live. Without your support, how can he, Long Linxiao, achieve success and win battles? Our lord will knock down all your helpers bit by bit." Hahahaha

Long Linxiao and his companions rushed down the mountain with the seriously injured and unconscious Feng Mojun. It was not appropriate to go to the county clinic now, so they could only ask Ah Si to invite a doctor to their home. Zong Hu said, "My dear benefactors, let's go to my home to recuperate!" Without hesitation, they arrived near Zong Hu's home. Ah San looked at the increasingly familiar scene and raised his head and asked in confusion, "Brother, is this your home?" Zong Hu nodded and said, "Yes, this is my home. You may come in." The young wife in the house heard the noise and quickly opened the door to see that it was her husband who had returned. She burst into tears of joy. Zong Hu introduced everyone, "This is my wife Xiujuan. Xiujuan, come quickly and let me introduce you to these brothers." It was them who rescued us brothers. If they hadn't gone, I would have been killed by them in the cave. Xiujuan stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, "Thank you all for rescuing my husband."

When Ah Si arrived with the doctor from Huimin Clinic, Feng Mojun was already unconscious with a high fever. After examining him and taking his pulse, the doctor told Long Linxiao and the others that it was a good thing he took the antidote in time, otherwise the poison would have already entered his lungs and abdomen by the time I arrived. As for the arrow wound, he just needed to take care of it. He had lost a lot of blood, so he needed some supplements. I don't know what else you gave him to eat that saved his life. Otherwise, with this poisoned arrow, excessive blood loss, and a few more days of delay, even the Great Gods would have been unable to save him...

Long Linxiao thought, worthy of being the person I value, he is extraordinary. Little girl, I missed you, did you miss me? I feel empty in my heart after not seeing you for just a few days, not to mention the difficulties and obstacles of the operation here.

On Siyu's side, the workshop has been built, and various products have been put into production and are on the right track. A small fleet has been formed to deliver bean sprouts, braised meat, rag dolls, and black fungus to several counties.

The house for growing wood ear mushrooms is ready. The courtyard is halfway built. In the blink of an eye, Siyu has been here for a month and a half. Dividing the family, buying wasteland, teaching the villagers how to make compost, building a workshop—I wonder if this counts as accumulating virtue, doing good deeds. And now it's time to start preparing for seedlings and planting. Siyu, oh, how fast has everything happened?

Siyu came to the wasteland and called Robert. The person who followed Robert and recorded various affairs and the planting process of crops, time, precautions and temperature differences was the fourth son of Yang Po, who was once looked down upon by the villagers, the lazy and cunning man.

Today, Uncle Qingzhou is already the manager of the fleet, taking care of the orders from various restaurants outside, delivering goods and collecting payments.

Siyu then asked Robert about the method of growing sweet potatoes in their country. Robert, in my country, we grow sweet potatoes and potatoes by digging holes, covering them with soil, and waiting for them to sprout.

Siyu understood after hearing this. No wonder the yield was so low. After so many years of planting, this is all I can produce. Okay, Uncle Luo, just plant it as I tell you.

Siyu then explained that potatoes should be cut according to size. Large potatoes should be cut into pieces, leaving 2-3 eyes open. Smaller potatoes should be cut in half, leaving 2-3 eyes open. After cutting, wrap them in wood ash to disinfect them. Potato seed pieces should be placed in a well-ventilated, dry, and cool place for planting.

Now, let's start raising the sweet potato seedlings. Clear out a flat seedbed, 2 meters wide. The length will depend on the seeds and the desired area. We're going for 300 kilograms. The sweet potatoes will be 10 meters long, and the seedbed will be about 10 centimeters deep. Prepare a layer of fertilizer underneath: oil paper, sand, and some thick straw mats. Okay, everyone, get to work! Spread a line of fertilizer at the bottom of the seedbed. Mix it evenly with the soil to avoid over-fertilizing and burning the seedlings. Keep the seedbed half wet and half dry. Once everything is ready, start planting the sweet potatoes on the bed. They don't need to be aligned; just stagger them side by side. Once they're laid out, cover them with a layer of soil and mist the loose soil. Build a bamboo shed, cover it with oil paper, and drape the straw mats over it. Keep the temperature at 38 degrees Celsius, and wait for the seedlings to emerge. Siyu told Robert to keep an eye on the temperature.

The next day, they started planting potatoes. Robert and the other villagers were amazed. "How can you plant them like this?" "Won't they rot if you bury them in the soil?" "How can they sprout?" Siyu said calmly and patiently, "These potatoes and sweet potatoes grow right out of the soil, right?"

Okay, Robert and his men started planting potatoes along the ridges. The land should be plowed 35 centimeters deep, ridges should be formed and base fertilizer should be applied. The ridge depth should be 10 centimeters so that the potatoes will not grow above the ground in the future. Plant the potatoes 35 centimeters apart. Uncles, do you understand? If you understand, let's get started! So everyone carried a basket and planted potatoes along the ridges. 300 kilograms of potato seeds were used to plant 5 mu of land. And more than 30 people finished planting in less than half a day. After sorting it out, Siyu told everyone to go home first and make some paddy fields from the land near the water tomorrow.

Everyone headed home in silence. Some villagers chatted as they walked. They were saying, "Bai Qingyuan bought over 500 mu of wasteland, then turned it over and let a little girl mess around with it. Someone was blaming him. He planted what they said were potatoes, but they thought they wouldn't rot if buried underground. And he let a little girl mess with it. He'd planted some good land. He could have planted some sorghum and soybeans, and harvested some in the fall, and he's saying he doesn't have to pay taxes! He won't have to pay taxes for three years. This land is all virgin land, and he has to cultivate it before he can harvest the crops. It's not my daughter, it's my daughter who would break his legs and make him ruin the family." But the vast majority were grateful to Siyu for opening the workshop and even hiring the daughters-in-law of the family to work there. It was only the ungrateful who kept blaming Siyu and the others. They were like this ungrateful person. Even if you gave them a mountain of gold, they'd still think you didn't give them enough. So, let me tell you, good deeds are done to different people. If you're too kind, you'll only suffer the consequences.

But Siyu doesn't care what others say, or whether they understand her or not. On the contrary, people who understand her do everything right, and people who don't understand her, even if she breathes, she is wrong. So Siyu told Robert to find a few careful and responsible people. Just like farmhands in the wasteland, they will take care of the potatoes with Robert. Watch the weather to avoid a late spring cold. If the weather turns cold suddenly, cover the potato ridges with the woven curtains. It will take another 30 days for the sweet potatoes to sprout. When the sweet potato seedlings grow to five to seven leaves, they need to be cut with a knife, tied into small bundles, and taken to the field for planting.
