How Would Zhou Wanwan Have Time to Trade Quips with It?

It's only a little over 100 years old, but this pine tree is over 500 years old.

The pine tree looked down at it and said, "Little brother, what did you just say? Who do you want to hit?"

The pine tree, looking at a body three times its own height, coughed and said, "I want to slap myself."

The big pine tree laughed loudly, "You answer whatever my Wanwan asks you, or I'll pull you out and burn you to charcoal."

The Little Pine Tree quickly nodded and said, "Ask me anything, I'll tell you everything."

Zhou Wanwan asked all the questions she wanted to ask, and the Little Pine Tree looked at her expectantly and said:

"Sister, can I come with you?"

"Look how they can walk! If I could walk like them, how impressive would that be?"

Zhou Wanwan said with a look of disgust, "No, I'm only a little over a hundred years old. And don't call me 'sister,' it makes me sound old."

The Little Pine Tree quickly said:

Actually, you don't understand me.

Although I am a pine tree, I have stayed in the county government office for so long that I know everything.

I learned a lot from the county magistrate; I've served under many different county magistrates.

I can judge cases, I can do accounting, I can manage internal affairs...

Zhou Wanwan squinted at it and said, "I certainly don't need a tree to judge cases. It's not appropriate to have a tree act as an accountant and manage internal affairs, is it?"

"What's wrong with it? As long as you find it convenient, isn't that fine? Sister... Sister..."

Zhou Wanwan shuddered and said, "Stop yelling, stop yelling. I'll give you some energy. Now come back to the stronghold with us!"

Zhou Wanwan directly transferred energy, and the Little Pine Tree's eyes filled with adoration as it looked at her and said, "Sister, I'll be your tree for life. I'll be your servant forever."

Zhou Wanwan didn't have time to banter with it.

She asked, "Where is the place to keep the silver here?"

The Little Pine Tree quickly led the way:

"Let me tell you, the county magistrate who came recently is insatiably greedy. He extorts a lot of money from the people every day. I've disliked him for a long time."

Now that we're on the same side, I have some very important news to tell you.

This Little Pine Tree had a trick up its sleeve.

Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say."

The Little Pine Tree said, "Yesterday I heard them say that grain and ironware will be delivered today, and they will be sent to the Snow Khanate."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Are you sure it's grain and ironware?"

These are all great things!

The Little Pine Tree quickly nodded and said:

"I was right outside their window, and I could hear everything that was happening inside."

And supposedly they're collaborating with some kind of Eunuch Hai, what kind of behavior is that?

Treason? That deserves to be dragged out and beheaded.

Zhou Wanwan became even more excited:

"Good, good, well done. I'll give you extra energy when we get back today."

That way you can go out and play more often!

The Little Pine Tree led them directly to the storeroom in the backyard, where Zhou Wanwan's big tree friends arrived quickly.

The entire county government office was also subdued. Actually, there weren't many people in the county government office; apart from two gatekeepers, everyone else had gone to arrest them.

These big tree friends are different from ordinary people; they are incredibly strong. The Old Scholar Tree, along with its brothers, pulled the county government's warehouse out of the ground.

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "This house can still be used when we go home, saving us the trouble of building another one."

Zhou Wanwan never expected such a bizarre move.

The other large trees also realized what was happening and immediately lifted up the county government building.

A dozen or so large trees simply lifted up the county government building. Many of these ancient houses were made of mortise and tenon joints, so once the foundation was dug out, the entire building could be moved.

Zhou Wanwan was dumbfounded. "You guys are... being too ruthless, aren't you? This isn't appropriate, is it?"

The Old Scholar Tree grumbled, "What's inappropriate about it? He's already issued a warrant for our arrest. All we want is his county office, so what?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, I will not offend others unless they offend me."

Actually, I've always been quite kind, but I always run into these kinds of wicked people. Well then, let's go, you guys just take all this stuff back to Black Wind Stronghold.

I was leading another group of people to the dock; Cheng Xiao is absolutely insane.

To actually cooperate with a eunuch? To actually betray the country, that's absolutely unacceptable.

Zhou Wanwan, bursting with a sense of justice, led a group of trees straight to the dock, with the Little Pine Tree leading the way.

Suddenly, I saw a drunk person staggering and crashing into Little Pine Tree.

The man looked up, still groggy, and said, "Huh? How come there's a tree here? I didn't see it just now."

The Little Pine Tree looked at him and said, "Could you please remove your claws?"

The man shuddered in fright. "Are you talking to me?"

The Little Pine Tree snorted and said, "If I'm not talking to you, then who am I talking to?"

The man screamed in terror, "Trees, trees can talk! Waaah... How much fake alcohol did I drink?!"

He came over with a group of people and said:

"I really saw a pine tree talking to me, and it was really tall, with a lot of other trees around it."

"Huh? Where's the tree?"

The people nearby burst into laughter, saying, "Boss Zhuang, just how much have you drunk? A tree can talk? I've never heard of that before."

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's go back and continue drinking! I've never heard of a tree that can talk before."

Zhou Wanwan, with Da Shu by her side, asked around for a while before finally finding the dock, where they indeed saw dozens of people unloading cargo.

A loud, hoarse voice roared, "Hurry up, or we'll be in big trouble if we get caught!"

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "Old Scholar Tree, move it over there and put some pesticide powder on them."

The Old Scholar Tree loved doing this kind of thing. It slowly moved to the riverbank, and soon, medicinal powder began to fall sporadically from the boat.

The man with the hoarse voice reached out and caught it, saying, "Is it snowing? I haven't seen snow in ages."

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." People on the boat fell to the ground.

Zhou Wanwan sneered, "Do you even deserve to see the snow of the Great Xia Kingdom? Bah! A bunch of dogs, even after becoming eunuchs, you still won't shut up."

Zhou Wanwan said, "Let's take everything from the boat back!"

The Old Scholar Tree poked the boat hard with its branch and said, "Hehehe! This is so much fun! Why don't we carry this boat back with us?"

Zhou Wanwan hissed and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

The Old Scholar Tree burst into laughter:

"What's wrong with it? These boats are pretty nice, it's fine, we can even have some fun inside."

You might need this when you go out in the future.

The big trees started moving, lifting the boat and dumping everyone inside onto the shore, then running towards the mountain stronghold.

You have to admit, trees that have absorbed energy are incredibly fast.

In just half an hour, Zhou Wanwan was already sitting in the mountain stronghold.

Liu Su'e looked at her absentmindedly and said, "Girl... what's wrong with those trees? They're like monsters! They even help you with your tasks, it's terrifying."
