"Qingfeng, wake up!"
Sensing Li Qingfeng's movement, the person below seemed to become restless.
She twisted her waist and said to Li Qingfeng.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng first froze, then immediately reacted.
He quickly moved his body away and pulled up the person he had fallen upon.
As soon as he entered the medical hall, illuminated by the dim light of the first floor, Li Qingfeng finally saw who it was.
It was his Aunt Pan, Pan Xiaolian!
"Aunt Pan, why is it you?"
"Why are you still outside the medical hall so late? I thought Wu Henjian sent people again!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's rapid questions, Pan Xiaolian was first stunned, and only after a long while did she react.
Just now, shouldn't she have been the one questioning him?
However, since Li Qingfeng had already spoken, she felt it awkward to say anything more to him, so she could only quietly explain to Li Qingfeng, "You haven't been back, Xiao Feng, and I was worried about you!"
Hearing Aunt Pan's words, Li Qingfeng felt a warmth in his heart. Indeed, Aunt Pan was the one who worried about him the most.
"Aunt Pan, guess what I gained this time when I went out?"
He put down the basket on his back; it was empty, with only a few blades of grass left inside.
Seeing this, Pan Xiaolian covered her mouth in surprise and looked up at Li Qingfeng with a shocked gaze.
"Qingfeng, you sold all that radix Isatidis?"
Hearing Pan Xiaolian's surprised voice, Li Qingfeng nodded proudly.
Then, he mysteriously asked Pan Xiaolian, "Aunt Pan, guess how much I sold these radix Isatidis for in total?"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's question again, Pan Xiaolian fell into thought.
The radix Isatidis that Li Qingfeng took out was about ten jin. At a high price, it would be at most two thousand yuan.
But since Li Qingfeng was so happy, he must have sold it for more, so Pan Xiaolian added another thousand.
"Qingfeng, you sold it for three thousand yuan this time? Right?"
Hearing Aunt Pan's answer, Li Qingfeng shook his head.
"Aunt Pan, you underestimated it!"
"Five thousand?"
"No? Several times more!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's answer, Pan Xiaolian was completely dumbfounded. Several times more?
For goodness sake, this was radix Isatidis, not some ginseng or reishi mushroom, how could it be sold for over ten thousand?
However, Li Qingfeng couldn't explain her doubts for the time being.
After a while, Pan Xiaolian could no longer figure out how much he had sold it for and could only shake her head helplessly.
Seeing Aunt Pan's eager desire to know, Li Qingfeng decided not to tease her any longer and told her about his earnings that night.
"Aunt Pan, I sold it for forty-three thousand eight hundred yuan today!"
As he spoke, Li Qingfeng took out the large red bills he had kept tightly in his clothes, tied with many silk ribbons, ten thousand yuan per stack!
"What? How could you sell for so much money?"
Hearing his words and seeing the stacks of money in her hands, Pan Xiaolian was lost in thought.
After a long silence, she grabbed Li Qingfeng's arm and asked, "Qingfeng, did you do something illegal? Let's go surrender!"
Li Qingfeng had considered many possibilities, but never this one.
Hearing Aunt Pan's words, he felt terrible.
He could only helplessly remove Pan Xiaolian's hand and say to her, "Aunt Pan, I've finally recovered. How could I do anything illegal or immoral? Please believe me, okay?"
Seeing that Li Qingfeng's words didn't seem to be lies, Pan Xiaolian nodded, accepting his explanation.
However, she still looked at Li Qingfeng, whom she had watched grow up, with a puzzled expression, as anyone would find it hard to believe that dozens of radix Isatidis could be sold for over forty thousand yuan.
Having no other choice, Li Qingfeng decided to stay up all night to explain to Pan Xiaolian.
After more than two hours of confirmation, she finally believed Li Qingfeng's words, and the two returned to their rooms to rest.
Both of them were sleepless that night!
Li Qingfeng was astonished by the magic of the spiritual liquid from the Divine Farmer's Hundred Herbs Scripture, while Pan Xiaolian was overjoyed by Li Qingfeng's resurgence.
Soon, the night passed.
The next morning, Li Qingfeng and Pan Xiaolian woke up early and met in the courtyard.
"Good morning, Aunt Pan! Hahaha... Aunt Pan, why do you look like this?"
Li Qingfeng greeted Pan Xiaolian, but halfway through his sentence, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The main reason was that Pan Xiaolian's current appearance was too amusing. She had two big dark circles under her eyes, making her look quite peculiar.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday!"
Pan Xiaolian's voice was full of insecurity. Her current appearance made her feel too embarrassed to face anyone.
Fortunately, at this moment, a knock on the door saved her from her awkwardness.
"Knock knock! Knock knock!"
Hearing the knock, Li Qingfeng hurried to open the door.
As soon as he opened it, he saw a familiar figure.
Standing at the door was Xu Wu, holding a bag of fruit, at the entrance of the medical hall.
"It's Uncle Wu! Please come in!"
Although he was a little puzzled, Li Qingfeng quickly reacted and quickly invited Xu Wu inside.
"Good morning, Xiao Feng!"
Hearing him, Xu Wu smiled and walked into the medical hall.
At this moment, Aunt Pan had tidied herself up and, upon seeing Xu Wu enter, quickly greeted him.
"It's Brother Wu! Please come in!"
"Little Lian, I apologize for disturbing you so early in the morning. Is it inconvenient?"
"Not at all, not at all. Thank you for bringing Qingfeng home yesterday!"
Hearing him, Pan Xiaolian answered with a smile, showing no surprise.
After all, Xu Wu had a good relationship with Old Master Li, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Li Qingfeng took the fruit from Xu Wu and led him to a room inside.
As soon as they sat down, Pan Xiaolian poured Xu Wu a cup of water.
Taking the cup, Xu Wu took a sip. Hot steam rose from the rim of the cup as he slowly explained the purpose of his visit.
"Little Lian, I've come to see you today mainly about our orchard!"
"Brother Wu, is there something wrong with the orchard?"
Hearing his words, Aunt Pan sat up straight and asked Xu Wu.
Listening to their conversation, Li Qingfeng also walked over to a chair and sat down, quietly listening to Xu Wu recount the events at his orchard.
"Recently, the fruit trees in my orchard have been infected with a very strange disease. Any tree that gets sick will die within a week. I've tried countless methods, but there's been no progress!"
"It's almost time for the fruit to be sold in the market. If all the trees die, I'll lose everything!"
"Sigh..."
