Chapter 347 Farm(1/2)
Suddenly, it was another weekend, a bus stop not far from Pigeon City.
Zhao Qingquan and a dozen of his disciples looked at Jia Yi and asked helplessly.
"So, where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Jia Yi didn't want to explain the specific address. After all, even if Jia Yi told it... they might not know it.
…
At the foot of the lush mountain, a bus stop stands alone, which is very abrupt. Except for the road, it is almost surrounded by weeds.
This place... Mr. Zhao and the others have really never been here before.
They didn't know why, maybe because of the desolate environment, they suddenly felt very uneasy.
More than a dozen people in the construction team looked at each other, and they even doubted whether Jia Yi wanted to kidnap them.
But that’s not right. I’ve only heard of women and children being trafficked, but not old men or young men.
Could it be that they were kidnapped and mined underground? The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. If Mr. Zhao hadn't been there, they would have wanted to run away.
Mr. Zhao is speechless now. More than a dozen disciples are staring at his master, hoping that he can give an explanation.
However, he didn't know the specific situation, so he had no choice but to ask Jia Yi.
"Ahem, Xiao Yi, where is this?"
In fact, when Jia Yi saw their looks, he knew that if he didn't explain, these people might be scared away.
Yes, let’s talk about it.
Jia Yi pointed to the east following his memory and said.
"Old man, look over there."
Hearing this, everyone followed the direction of Jia Yi's finger and opened their eyes hard...
Well, there's nothing special, just weeds and crooked-neck trees.
Jia Yi looked at their reactions and suddenly felt something was not good.
Quickly look back and take a closer look...
Well, he was speechless, he couldn't even see the farm gate.
After doing some calculations, he got news two years ago that there was a problem with the farm a year ago. Now that he calculated it, the farm had been abandoned for three years. It seems that this situation... is not surprising.
It just hurt him.
After all, being stared at by more than a dozen people with strange eyes, although he was quite strong inside, he was inevitably a little depressed.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still explained calmly.
"Well, after all, the farm has been abandoned for three years, so it's normal that the door can't be seen."
Mr. Zhao's expression is very strange. This explanation...you guess whether he believes it or not.
However, after having been in contact with Jia Yi many times, he still knew that Jia Yi's behavior was not like lying and he just spoke out to save the situation.
"Xiao Yi, if you have any proof, please show it, otherwise, we won't dare to go with you."
"Don't worry, I brought the land deed. The old man will understand it at a glance."
Jia Yi quickly took out the land deed from his bag and handed it to him to read.
Mr. Zhao took over the brand new land deed suspiciously and carefully identified it. The official seal and everything were genuine, and the address on the land deed was indeed consistent with the bus stop.
After Mr. Zhao finished the inspection, he finally raised his head and said loudly.
"There is indeed no problem with the title deed. This is where it is."
As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere finally eased, and the construction team finally stabilized.
"Hey, I won't lie to you. Let's go. It's just a matter of a few steps."
Jia Yi took back the land deed and called on everyone to follow him.
When you get closer, it looks like a mountain has been hollowed out, leaving only an opening through which you can still see the peaks inside.
Not far away, there is a solid iron gate wrapped in vines, and the path between it and the road has long been occupied by plants.
This situation has obviously been taken care of by no one for a long time, and the scene when Jia Yi came to visit for the first time can no longer be seen at all.
"this…"
Mr. Zhao was speechless. He couldn't find words to describe this place and this scene.
Under the dull gaze of everyone, Jia Yi smiled and said a little embarrassed.
"Then what? I haven't been here for a long time, so I don't know much about the situation here."
"Then how come you have the land deed..." This is the unanimous complaint in everyone's mind.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jia Yi quickly used the Great Shift.
"But, this is also a good thing for you. With such a large amount of work, you can still do it for a while."
Mr. Zhao was speechless. This man had so many things on his mind. What he said was indeed reasonable.
For his apprentices, having more money to earn is a good thing.
Thinking of this, he cheered up and encouraged with a happy face.
"You're right, isn't it a good thing to make more money? Okay, cheer up, let's start cleaning up."
After the two people's persuasion, everyone finally took action.
People who work all year round are different. That movement was so neat. In less than ten minutes, they had already cleared up to the farm gate.
The two of them slashed their swords a few times, and the vine roots wrapped around the door were cut off.
Looking at the reopened door, Jia Yi felt very uneasy.
After all, based on the situation outside the door, Jia Yi was actually mentally prepared for the worst for the current situation inside the farm.
The door finally opened and Jia Yi took a cursory look.
The situation inside is indeed not very good, but it is still much better than Jia Yi expected.
After walking in and checking it carefully, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the various buildings in the farm are basically still usable, and the roads are actually well preserved. These can be used again with a simple cleaning.
It's not that he wants to keep these buildings. After all, these buildings are not ancient houses with monumental significance, so he does want to knock them down and rebuild them.
It's just that there can't be no place for the construction team to stay while they're working.
What should I do if it’s windy, rainy or snowing?
Where to cook?
We can't let them live in tents and cook outside.
Now it's better, we have a house to live in, a canteen and a kitchen stove, so we can live together.
Jia Yi also has a basic understanding of the situation on the farm.
Ponds, farmland, and mountains and forests are basically occupied by vegetation, and these require a lot of effort to clear.
With a rough idea in mind, he found Mr. Zhao who was still surveying and mapping.
"Ahem, old man, you guys go ahead and I'll get some food or something."
"okay."
Mr. Zhao was very pleased and satisfied with Jia Yi's sensibleness.
…
"...You can't stay here."
Mr. Zhao asked puzzledly.
"Why?"
A middle-aged man in his forties said with a serious face.
"Do you know this is a farm?"
Mr. Zhao was puzzled. Isn't this an obvious thing? He answered matter-of-factly.
"We know."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked a little excited and said angrily.
"I know, but you are still coming in. This is a public place. Private individuals are not allowed to come in, let alone destroy any plants or trees here."
Only then did Mr. Zhao realize that the middle-aged man in front of him had misunderstood, and quickly explained.
"You misunderstood. We were hired by the farm owner to clean up the farm."
"What? Impossible, this is a public place."
