"What is that?"
Looking at the red light in the distance, Li Qingfeng showed a confused expression.
The red light in the distance seemed to have a faint yellow-white hue, looking different from the usual tones.
Hearing Li Qingfeng's confusion, Xu Wu walked over.
Having driven away the plant expert Liu Yuanhua and his apprentice Shangguan Dadan, Xu Wu felt much happier, looking cheerful.
Seeing his joyful demeanor, Li Qingfeng pointed to the red light in the distance and asked if he could see it.
"Uncle Wu, do you see a large area of red light over there?"
It was better when he didn't say it. After he spoke, the air seemed to fall into silence.
Xu Wu looked at Li Qingfeng with a confused expression, making him feel a little uneasy, not knowing what was going on with Uncle Wu.
"Uncle Wu, what's wrong?"
"Ah!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's question again, Xu Wu finally reacted and patted his shoulder.
He said with great guilt, "Xiao Feng, Uncle has embarrassed you!"
"Although Uncle is not a big shot and cannot compete with the town government or anything like that, Uncle has one good point! That is, Uncle is not afraid of failure! At worst, I'll start all over again!"
Listening to Xu Wu's somewhat nonsensical words, Li Qingfeng was very confused.
He quickly asked, "Uncle Wu, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word!"
It was better that Li Qingfeng didn't say this. The more he said it, the more convinced Xu Wu became.
It must be that he had put too much pressure on Li Qingfeng, causing his memory to be abnormal now.
Seeing his state, Xu Wu had no choice but to sigh and say to Li Qingfeng, "Xiao Feng, you might have drunk too much, or maybe I have. Let's both go to sleep!"
After speaking, Xu Wu gulped down a bottle of beer.
"Burp..."
After drinking, Xu Wu let out a loud burp and went straight back to his room, collapsing onto the kang to sleep.
Soon, deafening snores emanated from the room.
"Hoo hoo... hoo hoo!"
"This Uncle Wu!"
Listening to Xu Wu's continuous snoring, Li Qingfeng was stunned and could only stare blankly at the open space in front of him.
"What should I do?"
This was what he wanted to know most, what should he do?
However, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that he was the only one who could see the red light deep in the orchard.
At this moment, the Shennong Hundred Herbs Scripture in Li Qingfeng's mind seemed to be of utmost use, vibrating with a humming sound.
Looking at the increasingly transparent page, a shocking idea emerged in Li Qingfeng's mind.
"Could it be? This red light is the Shennong Hundred Herbs Scripture trying to tell me something? Is there something there?"
"Could it be... that it's the brightest ginseng mentioned in the Shennong Hundred Herbs Scripture?"
This idea became clearer and clearer in Li Qingfeng's mind. A smooth route was formed in his mind, gradually outlining a grand blueprint.
Looking at this blueprint, Li Qingfeng felt he should go and see.
Otherwise, he might regret it for his entire life!
No sooner said than done!
Such things are usually better done early than late. Li Qingfeng picked up a shovel from the open space outside the house, brought a wolf-tooth flashlight, and a chopping knife, and went deep into the orchard.
Someone might ask at this point, "It's broad daylight, why are you carrying a wolf-tooth flashlight?"
If you think so, you are wrong.
Xu Wu's orchard was too large, especially the old fruit trees whose branches had intertwined.
The towering tree trunks and branches blocked the bright sunlight.
Looking at the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, many gaps appeared from the overlapping leaves above.
Li Qingfeng stepped on these thick fallen leaves, moving step by step into the depths of the orchard.
A sudden gust of wind, accompanied by the rustling sound of colliding leaves, gave Li Qingfeng a feeling of "Only in this mountain, deep in the clouds, one knows not where."!
Feeling his current state, Li Qingfeng walked step by step to the fruit trees several hundred meters away from the orchard cabin.
When he reached here, he could no longer see the red light, only a large area of dimness.
Although he could barely see the path, he constantly needed to use the chopping knife to clear the way.
If these fruit trees had not already withered, Li Qingfeng would not have dared to do this.
After all, cutting off the branches of the fruit trees like this would really cause them to die. Therefore, even though Xu Wu had noticed this situation long ago, he was unable to deal with it.
However, the further he walked in that direction, the more Li Qingfeng discovered a very characteristic situation.
He felt that this might be the reason for the death of the fruit trees that Xu Wu had always wanted to know.
Because, the further he went in that direction, the more fallen yellow leaves he would find if he observed carefully.
Although the surrounding fruit trees also showed signs of wilting, it was clear that these fruit trees had died much earlier.
"Uncle Wu, it seems this time, you don't have to worry anymore!"
Glancing in the direction of the cabin in the distance, Li Qingfeng estimated that Uncle Wu was still sleeping soundly at this time. He mustered up his courage and continued to walk further inside.
It was eerily quiet in the orchard. After walking for so long, the most isolating feeling for Li Qingfeng was the complete absence of any living creatures.
Why do I say that?
After walking for half a day, he hadn't even seen a single insect. Was that normal?
Li Qingfeng gripped the chopping knife in his hand tighter, to prevent any sudden incidents from occurring.
Indeed, as he went deeper, the area of darkness expanded.
By now, Li Qingfeng needed a flashlight to guide his way!
"How did Uncle Wu harvest the fruits every year?"
Seeing this scene, Li Qingfeng was the most curious. Under these circumstances, how were the fruits harvested?
This could only be attributed to the wisdom of the working people!
After walking for about another twenty minutes, Li Qingfeng felt that he might have walked two or three li and was about to reach the end of the orchard.
Li Qingfeng had also heard Xu Wu talk about the end of the orchard, which was a mass grave. At that time, no one wanted it, so Xu Wu used it to plant fruit trees.
Because in the countryside, there are many taboos.
Especially planting fruit trees in a mass grave was actually not very good. Therefore, after only planting for two or three years, Xu Wu moved away from the mass grave and planted new fruit trees about a li away from it.
