Chapter 255: Sending Field Mice to Bai

"Just three thousand," Wu Uncle said with a chuckle, "The land is wasteland anyway, and there are too many gravels in the soil. If I asked for a higher price, I'd be taking advantage of you."

"Besides, you're investing in building a school in the village, so our village children won't have to travel far to attend school in the future. For this, everyone in the village is grateful to you. Even if we were unscrupulous, we couldn't cheat you!"

"If you want to thank your Wu Uncle, just sell me more of the good fruit when your Vegetable Base produces it."

Bai Wei felt a wave of emotion, "No problem, the fruit grown at the Vegetable Base will be sold to you first."

Wu Uncle brought paper and a pen, then called the village chief over to act as a witness.

The two of them signed the land lease agreement just like that.

Bai Wei leased ten mu of sorghum fields from Wu Uncle at a price of three thousand yuan per year.

With the land, the Farm could expand once again!

She wrote a note to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, I am expanding the Warehouse. When you come to Daliang in the future, you will be able to receive more supplies through the Jade Pendant."

"By the way, hurry and have the soldiers measure their height and weight, then bring over a few clothing samples so I can make clothes for them."

……

Daliang.

Xiao Moting received Bai Wei's note and had Qin Zhan arrange the matter to measure the height of all the soldiers in the army.

Bai Wei had only been back for two days, yet the longing in his heart had doubled.

The room was filled with her scent everywhere.

But while her things were here, she was not.

Qin Zhan received the order, walked out of the tent, and ran into Xiao Dabao head-on.

"Brother Zhan." Xiao Dabao quickly slid over, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Have you noticed that the Prince has been a bit strange these past two days?"

"How is he strange?"

"Ever since Bai left, the Prince has been like a man whose soul has been drained; he has no spirit for anything, and he's gloomy all day long. Sometimes I even see him staring blankly at a photo of Bai."

Qin Zhan bumped him with his shoulder, "Hey, that's called lovesickness! The Prince likes Bai so much; now that she's gone, how could he not miss her?"

Xiao Dabao sighed, "I really hope the Prince and Bai can have a happy ending, so I can eat Ham Sausage every day."

"Eat, you blockhead, all you think about is eating." Qin Zhan shook his head, "The Prince is in Daliang, and Bai is in the world of the gods. They are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl; it's already hard enough for them to meet once. To stay together for a lifetime, I'm afraid it's harder than ascending to heaven."

After saying this, he sighed in his heart.

This unrequited love, separated by a thousand years and not even in the same world, meant it was very difficult for them to be together.

Even the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could not be reunited; the love between a god and a mortal has never had a happy ending.

In the room, Xiao Moting felt restless.

He missed Bai Wei with intense longing.

Standing up, Xiao Moting walked out of the room and found Han Guiying, who was drilling troops on the training ground.

"Senior Sister, I have a question to ask you."

Under the sunlight, Han Guiying was holding two giant axes, commanding a group of female soldiers in Long Sword practice; she turned around upon hearing this.

"Junior Brother, what is it?"

Xiao Moting hesitated for a moment, "Senior Sister, how can one win a girl's favor?"

Han Guiying looked him up and down, "Are you referring to Bai? Wouldn't it be enough for you two to get married soon?"

"I mean, how can I make her like... this place more?" Xiao Moting explained, his handsome face flushing slightly, "Daliang is not her world, and the conditions here are too harsh. I always worry that she will be uncomfortable when she comes here."

Han Guiying spoke bluntly, "Oh, you want to ask how to make Bai like you, right?"

The group of female soldiers nearby were all covering their mouths and giggling.

Xiao Moting's face turned even redder, "No..."

"Don't deny it, you two should get married quickly!" Han Guiying slapped him on the shoulder, "And have a few more children, then..."

Xiao Moting turned and left.

Forget it.

He knew he shouldn't have come to ask his Senior Sister; there was no answer to be found here at all.

It was like talking to a brick wall!

"Caw-caw."

Cang Yun flew down from the sky and circled Xiao Moting a few times.

It had been raised by Xiao Moting since it was small and lived in the Northern Frontier Camp, so it was very intelligent.

Seeing Xiao Moting leave looking dejected, Cang Yun felt very sympathetic.

How could it help its master find a solution?

Cang Yun landed on a pine tree, tilted its little head to think, and suddenly its mung-bean-sized eyes lit up.

Xiao Moting returned to his room, his mood still low.

This was the first time he had ever liked a girl.

He wanted to make Bai Wei happy, to make her like Daliang more, and also like... himself.

"Caw-caw."

A burst of bird calls!

Cang Yun flew in from outside and landed on the desk, holding a fat field mouse in its beak.

It put the field mouse down and scratched Xiao Moting with its claw.

——Master, give Bai something delicious.

Xiao Moting knew what Cang Yun meant, and looking at the field mouse on the table, he was speechless.

"Cang Yun, Bai does not eat field mice."

"Quack, quack."

Cangyun stared with his mung bean-sized eyes in protest.

Field mice were so delicious, how could Bai not like them? It must be that his master was too stingy and refused to give the field mouse to Bai.

Xiao Moting shook his head.

Cangyun was so anxious he hopped back and forth on the table, persistently pushing the field mouse into Xiao Moting's hand, wanting him to take it and give it to Bai to eat.

His master was too foolish.

When he himself looked for other female eagles, he had to give them field mice and wild rabbits for the female eagles to be happy.

His master didn't give anything.

How could he make a female eagle like him this way?

Field mouse...

Xiao Moting looked at the field mouse on the table and suddenly remembered the scene of Bai Wei and himself grilling fish by the river.

He remembered that she liked the food here and ate it very happily.

That's it!

Qingshan Village.

Bai Wei and several designers sent by the construction company stood in the Warehouse.

She pointed at the Warehouse with her finger.

"... I want to renovate the Warehouse like this; the area needs to be larger, about 1,500 square meters."

"The first floor, keep it as it is now, to store vegetables and fruits."

"The second floor, use it to store miscellaneous items."

"The third floor, build it into an antique room to store my curios and some other collections, so the security must be done well; build it like a bank vault."

"The fourth floor, I will use it to... store calligraphy and paintings; also build it to bank vault security specifications, with explosion-proof glass and a vault door, just like the second floor."

In fact, the fourth floor of the Warehouse was not for storing calligraphy and paintings.

Bai Wei intended to use it to store military supplies; when the time came, she would put all the Long Sword, guns, Ammunition, and Explosives she obtained... all on the third floor.

Building it to bank vault security specifications could prevent outsiders from trespassing.

The several designers nodded continuously, writing down everything Bai Wei said.

"Also, the fifth floor, I haven't decided what to put there yet. Let's just renovate the fifth floor in a home style first; then I can move in later."

Bai Wei had already planned it out.

The Warehouse would be renovated into five floors; the bottom four floors would be for storing things, and the fifth floor would be renovated into a large flat; if it were renovated well, she could move in herself.

"Right, also install two freight elevators to make it convenient for me to move things up and down in the Warehouse; the whole building must have explosion-proof glass, as well as an electric fence and full-house smart equipment, especially the surveillance system, which must be done well."
