The next morning, a light mist shrouded the sky, and Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing had already embarked on their journey to find the farm.
The bamboo forest at the east end of the village was just as Zhang Yixin had described. There was plenty of sunshine, a gentle breeze, and the rustling of the emerald green bamboo leaves was like a natural concerto.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, and the fragrance of bamboo permeated her heart, and she felt refreshed.
But when I got closer, I saw that the ground was wet and slippery, and there were a lot of mosquitoes flying around, which was obviously not suitable for breeding.
"This won't do. It's too humid, and it's easy for bacteria to grow, which is not good for breeding." Shen Qiqi shook her head regretfully.
They then went to the small river beach west of the village, where there was plenty of water and the terrain was flat.
But as soon as Shen Qiqi walked to the river, a pungent fishy smell hit her face. The river water was turbid and all kinds of garbage were floating on it.
"The water quality is too poor, it must not be used!" Shen Qiqi covered her nose and stepped back repeatedly.
I visited several places in a row, but none of them were satisfactory.
Anxiety wrapped around Shen Qiqi like a vine. She frowned and kicked the pebbles at her feet in annoyance.
"Oh, what should I do? It's so hard to find a suitable venue!"
Seeing this, Lu Qing gently held Shen Qiqi's hand and gave her a comforting look.
"Don't worry, Qiqi, we'll look for it slowly and we'll always find the right one." His warm big hands wrapped around Shen Qiqi's small hands, as if conveying strength and courage.
At this time, Zhang's suspicion emerged from nowhere, and he said sarcastically: "Qiqi, are you deliberately picking these bad places? Do you have any selfish motives?" He narrowed his eyes and his tone was full of suspicion.
Shen Qiqi suppressed the anger in her heart and explained patiently: "Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood. I am also doing this for the good of everyone. I want to find the most suitable place to raise the animals so that we can maximize our profits."
But Zhang Yixin still persisted, "Who knows if you're really doing this for everyone's good? I think you just want to..."
"Enough!" Lu Qing interrupted him harshly. "Qiqi is running around for this, and you're just sitting here making sarcastic remarks. Is that fun?"
Zhang Yixin was intimidated by Lu Qing's aura and closed his mouth in disappointment.
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and the surrounding neighbors also cast strange looks at them.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Let's keep going." She took Lu Qing's hand and turned to leave.
Suddenly, the sky in the distance was covered with dark clouds...
"Wait," Shen Qiqi stopped and looked up at the sky, "It seems..."
“…It’s going to rain!”
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind blew raindrops as big as beans and hit him on the head.
Zhang Yixin screamed suspiciously and ran away with his head in his hands.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were also somewhat unsteady on their feet due to the sudden downpour.
The wind was howling and the raindrops hit my face like needles, bringing waves of stinging pain.
A dangerous atmosphere permeated the air, making it hard to breathe.
Lu Qing quickly protected Shen Qiqi in his arms, using his broad shoulders to shield her from the wind and rain.
"Hold on to me!" His deep voice was particularly clear and powerful in the strong wind.
Shen Qiqi tightly grasped Lu Qing's clothes, feeling the warmth coming from his body, and her heart was slightly relieved.
The rainstorm came quickly and went away quickly.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
Shen Qiqi wiped the rain off her face, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Not far away, there appeared a valley surrounded by dense woods, with a flat land vaguely visible at the bottom of the valley.
The heavy rain just now has caused this usually dry stream to flow.
Due to the terrain, a natural living water system has been formed.
"What is that place?" Shen Qiqi pointed at the valley and asked curiously.
"Oh, that's a valley in the back mountain. Few people go there usually." Lu Qing explained, "It's low-lying and prone to water accumulation, so no one pays much attention to it."
Water accumulation?
Shen Qiqi's heart moved.
Places where water accumulates indicate poor drainage, but with a little modification, wouldn’t it be possible to form a natural breeding pond?
It is also surrounded by trees, which can provide shade and wind protection, making it a perfect place for breeding!
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi almost jumped up with excitement.
"Lu Qing, let's go take a look!"
The two men walked through the dense woods and came to the bottom of the valley.
The scene before her made Shen Qiqi even more certain that this was the place she was looking for!
Flat land, clear streams, lush forests...
Everything is so perfect!
"This is it!" Shen Qiqi said to Lu Qing excitedly.
Zhang Yixin also followed and saw this place with an incredible look on his face.
"Is this... this place okay?" He still questioned out of habit.
Shen Qiqi patiently explained her idea and described in detail how to transform this place into an ideal breeding place.
Her clear analysis and passionate description fascinated Zhang Yixin and other neighbors, who nodded in agreement.
"Qiqi, you're so smart!" a neighbor couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Why didn't we think of this?"
"Yes, Qiqi is really the lucky star of our village!" another neighbor echoed.
The admiring gazes and words of praise filled Shen Qiqi's heart with a sense of accomplishment.
She turned to look at Lu Qing, only to find that he was also looking at her affectionately.
