If nothing unexpected happens, it was indeed that group of people who caused problems with the trees and plants on the mountain.
But the way it affects plants is probably not by spraying pesticides.
It has taken away the vitality of those plants.
Then Lin Xi also mentioned that when he went to the farmhouse last time, he found that the vitality of the mountain had slightly decreased.
Fortunately, Lin Xi had helped many classmates before, so all the classmates in the class knew that Lin Xi’s side job was a Taoist priest.
Therefore, after Lin Xi expressed his guess, the squad leader did not doubt it at all. Instead, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Lin Xi said was reasonable.
In order to cause damage to the trees and plants on an entire mountain, even if the group of people sprayed pesticides every moment after going up the mountain, their actions would definitely not go unnoticed given such a large mountain.
The most important thing is that it is impossible to spray pesticides without emitting any smell.
So it shouldn’t be spraying pesticides, it should really be that the vitality of those plants has been taken away!
Thinking of the plants on his own mountain that were gradually withering, the squad leader clenched his fists in anger.
"These people are really going too far. They destroyed the trees like this. I will make them pay!"
The moment he confirmed this, the squad leader called the mother-in-law and told them not to let that group of people camp in the mountains anymore, and not even to let them into the farmhouse.
Then he asked Lin Xi to go with him and go home to check on the trees to see if there was any way to save them.
Lin Xi naturally did not refuse.
Just as the squad leader and Lin Xi were on their way back to the farmhouse, they suddenly received a call from the squad leader's mother.
On the phone, the squad leader's mother anxiously told him that the large group of people had come again.
And when they said they were not allowed to camp in the mountains today, the other party still disagreed. They first quoted a high price and kept asking for money.
When the squad leader's mother remained unmoved, the group of people started to play the victim, saying that their children liked that mountain and wanted to go up and take a look.
In a nutshell, we just had to stay there and go up the mountain no matter what.
The squad leader was so angry that he almost howled.
The Didi driver was so scared that he stepped on the accelerator and reached the destination as fast as possible.
When they returned to the farmhouse, the squad leader and Lin Xi saw from afar a group of people surrounding his mother, several mouths talking non-stop, which made the squad leader's mother feel overwhelmed.
It was as if the group of people did not understand what people were saying. No matter how the squad leader's mother refused, they insisted on going up the mountain.
Seeing the squad leader and Lin Xi coming back, the couple hurried over and spoke loudly to the group.
"If you don't leave, we'll really call the police!"
When the group of people heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.
"Boss, why make such a scene? We just want to take the kids up the mountain to play for a bit. We won't do anything."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said the last sentence, but as soon as he said it, the squad leader went crazy.
"You can't do anything? If it weren't for you, how could the trees on our mountain be in trouble? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Can't you see that those plants are withered and yellow?!"
The group of people were unmoved, as if they didn't understand what the monitor meant, or were pretending to be stupid.
"Young Boss, what are you talking about? I know you might be sad about this, but what does the withering of plants on the mountain have to do with us? It must be a problem with the climate or the soil."
"That's right, you need to provide evidence for what you say, or we can sue you for defamation! Besides, we don't mind the deterioration of your mountain scenery, we're still willing to pay to go up the mountain, and you don't even appreciate it!"
The two people who were speaking, one played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, and the others around them also made expressions of agreement.
Only the child who was being held still maintained the same posture, lying on the neck of the woman holding her, without even moving.
Lin Xi did not join in the verbal battle, but moved his fingers secretly, and an invisible force bounced onto the woman holding the child.
Suddenly, the woman's knees went weak and she fell to the side.
Fortunately, the person next to her supported her in time.
However, the child in her arms finally revealed his face because of her leaning to the side.
With just one glance, Lin Xi saw her face.
Then, his brows furrowed tightly.
While the two were still stubbornly entangled with the squad leader's mother, Lin Xi suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Her voice was clearly not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, and it also carried a shocking meaning, causing the others to look at her immediately.
After a brief moment of fear, the two people who spoke before looked at Lin Xi with forced calmness.
"Madam, are you talking to us? What kind of retribution will we receive?"
"Who are you? Can you speak? If not, then shut your mouth. How dare you curse us? Do you know who we are?!"
The squad leader and his mother were also a little confused, but their first reaction was that Lin Xi accused the group of people of taking away the vitality of the plants and they would suffer retribution.
However, the next second, Lin Xi's words made their faces change, and they looked at the group of people in front of them in disbelief.
Just listen to Lin Xi.
"For your own selfish desires, you turned your ancestors into this state, neither human nor ghost. Shouldn't you be punished?"
