Qin Miaomiao tried to pinch Qiao Zhixia's face like crazy, but Qiao Zhixia grabbed her hand and slapped herself twice.
Then, without waiting for the stunned Qin Miaomiao to respond, she covered her red face and ran out to find Qin Yunlang.
"Your sister doesn't like me, so I'm leaving now and won't bother you again."
Qin Miaomiao chased after him and wanted to explain, but was greeted with a slap from Qin Yunlang.
"Is this a sign that you have changed your ways?"
Something seemed to be shattered in Qin Miaomiao's eyes. "Brother, you hit me for her?"
"Get out!"
Qin Miaomiao covered her face, turned around and ran away.
The study became quiet again, and Qiao Zhixia felt a little embarrassed.
"Actually... I hit her, too."
"I'm not blind."
Okay, that's even more embarrassing.
She deliberately provoked Qin Miaomiao just to make her crazy. How could Qin Miaomiao do evil again if she didn't go crazy?
How can we deal with her if she doesn't do anything evil?
"Then I'll leave first. As for the land..."
"I'll find time to go with you this week..."
After Qin Miaomiao was slapped by Qin Yunlang and Qiao Zhixia successively, she went to Qin Li to cry.
However, Qin Li's favor for this adopted daughter all came from his wife Ruan Fengjiao, and he just loved her out of spite.
He was already unhappy with Qin Miaomiao because of Ruan Fengjiao's fall from the building, so how could he stand up for her?
So what she got was a severe reprimand.
That night, Qin Miaomiao, who had nowhere to vent, took advantage of Qin Yunlang's absence and sneaked into Ruan Fengjiao's room.
She vented all her malice and anger on Ruan Fengjiao by cursing.
When his anger reached its peak, he even pricked her fingers with a needle.
What she didn't know was that although Ruan Fengjiao on the bed couldn't move, she could hear it...
Three days later, Qin Yunlang personally accompanied Qiao Zhixia to the countryside.
What Qiao Zhixia didn't expect was that he seemed to be very familiar with the people in those villages. She could hardly get a word in when she heard them communicating fluently in Cantonese.
Although I couldn't quite understand what they were talking about, I was sure that they all liked chatting with Qin Yunlang.
Qin Yunlang was also very talkative and amused the villagers.
However, they looked at her while smiling, and she always felt that they were saying bad things about her, but she had no evidence.
Very unhappy!!!
It seems that if you want to get along in Guangzhou, knowing English is not enough, you also have to learn Cantonese.
After two days of investigation, she chose a relatively poor, large village with a small amount of arable land.
To her surprise, the village chief was not willing to contract out the land.
Qiao Zhixia thought they were not satisfied with the contract terms, so she asked Qin Yunlang to inquire about it, but they said it had nothing to do with interests.
After asking around, I found out that there was an old banyan tree in front of the village's ancestral hall. The banyan tree had actually begun to wither over the past two months.
The banyan tree was passed down from generation to generation, and the belief that "destroying it will bring disaster, while protecting it will bring good luck" has long been engraved in the hearts of every villager.
Now everyone was in a panic, thinking something was going to happen in the village.
They even invited a troupe to perform operas and worship the gods last month. Seeing that the situation had not improved, the village chief was so anxious that he could not eat.
"If I can save the tree, will they be willing to contract the land to me?" Qiao Zhixia asked Qin Yunlang.
Qin Yunlang did not suggest that she take the risk and try it, but she could go to other villages to have a look.
However, Qiao Zhixia only took a fancy to the location of this village. With her current spiritual spring level, it would be no problem to revive an ordinary banyan tree.
Moreover, if she succeeds, she can earn a favor, so she doesn't lose out.
Qin Yunlang was unable to resist and had to follow her.
But when the village chief heard that the tree roots were to be dug out, he shook his head repeatedly and showed resistance.
The villagers from other tribes also opposed the reckless action. If the roots of the tree were damaged, the tree would die.
Facing their strong rejection, Qiao Zhixia did not give up.
She stood out from the crowd and issued a military warrant: "As long as you let some of the roots emerge from deep in the soil, I will be able to cure this tree. This is the only chance. Otherwise, if you delay, the tree will die."
Qiao Zhixia's words made the already superstitious villagers feel very angry. They thought she was disrespectful to the sacred tree, and some even wanted to use violence to chase her away.
Qin Yunlang immediately pulled her behind him. Assistant Lin was so frightened that he dared not say a word, and the bodyguards he brought with him were also ready to take action.
"If you want to drive me away, then you have to completely cut off the vitality of this tree. Village chief, are you sure you want the sacred tree to be cut off and delivered to you?" Qiao Zhixia did not back down because of the villagers' extreme response.
"She's cursing us, tell them to leave..."
"Everyone be quiet!!!" The village chief, a thin and skinny middle-aged man in his teens, spoke with a powerful voice despite his short stature.
"Can you really heal our tree?"
"Just do as I say and I can cure..."
Although the village chief was very cautious about disturbing the sacred tree, he was also very clear that if there was something wrong with the tree, it would surely die if no solution was found.
That afternoon, the village chief found a dozen young men from the tribe and began to carefully dig out the roots of the banyan tree according to Qiao Zhixia's request.
During the digging, we found that some of the tree roots had turned black and rotted. They could no longer absorb nutrients, so the tree began to wither.
Qiao Zhixia had the soil around the banyan tree loosened, and then mixed a large amount of spiritual spring water with soil disinfectant to irrigate the roots of the tree.
If the tree is old, digging up the whole tree, cutting off the rotten roots, and then disinfecting and transplanting will be faster and better.
But the tree is so big that it will take some time.
A week passed as the villagers waited with suspicion and anxiety.
On this day, the excited village chief Huang called Qiao Zhixia personally, and the village's sacred tree came back to life.
"Didn't you say you wanted to contract the land? Come over and talk..."
When she went to Dexing Village again, everyone looked at her differently.
No longer on guard, but greeted with a sincere smile.
After some consideration, she finally successfully contracted about 1,200 mu of farmland and two wastelands with a total area of about 2,800 mu.
Thanks to the advice provided by Qin Yunlang, the relevant procedures and contract signing went smoothly.
After the story of the “sacred tree” spread, the local people who were very prominent in the legend were also very polite to her.
After a period of getting to know them, she found that these villagers were not as difficult to get along with as they seemed.
On the contrary, they are united, simple, and some are quite humorous.
One month later, the [Jingyang Planting Base] was officially established and included in the management scope of the branch company. Jingyang brand medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruits and other crops began to be planted on this land.
The establishment of this planting base will save Jingyang a lot of transportation costs for its future export business.
At the same time, establishing a base in developed coastal cities in the south can also maximize the market value of Jingyang Group.
There is also good news. Qiao Zhixia's system spiritual spring has been upgraded again.
When the spiritual spring is upgraded to level 1, the storage space is expanded to level 20,000 tons.
The system began to unlock magical plants that only existed in legends. Every time she upgraded, she would be able to unlock a rare legendary plant. This time, the herb she unlocked was a thousand-year-old ginseng.
This ginseng, even if irrigated with top-grade spiritual spring water, still needs a year to grow, and because the seeds are precious, the system only provides about one.
But when the ginseng grows up, eating it can prolong life and eliminate all diseases.
Qiao Zhixia couldn't help but think of Qin Yunlang's illness. She immediately took the opportunity to ask the system, if this ginseng was given to Qin Yunlang, would it be able to cure his leukemia?
[Host, the thousand-year-old ginseng can indeed cure diseases, but it can only cure some diseases. The medicine that can really cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life is called the Nine-Heart Lotus. Every lotus heart of this lotus contains a resurrection pill. As long as the person is still alive, they can be saved. This is the ultimate prize of our farming system. Although there is only one plant, it is equivalent to nine more lives.]
"So what do I do to unlock this thing?"
[You can unlock it when the Spirit Spring reaches level 10, Maca뀧Ka~]
"How long will it take me to reach level 10?"
[Based on the host's current planting output, it will take about ten years. 】
“Ten years?” He couldn’t wait for ten years!
[Host, don't worry. The upgrade speed of Linquan is determined by the output of the host's farming. As long as the host works hard, the upgrade will be accelerated! Even if the host is in a hurry to save the patient, even if there is no Nine Heart Lotus for the time being, the condition can be stabilized by using the Wannian Ginseng~]
Qiao Zhixia was overjoyed when she heard this, which meant that although the thousand-year ginseng could not cure leukemia, it could ensure that Qin Yunlang's disease would not continue to worsen.
That is to say, there is still time...
Time passed quickly, and a month had passed. Qin Yunlang was basically on business trips during this month.
Qiao Zhixia had already handed the medicine package to Assistant Lin in advance, asking him to boil it and give it to Qin Yunlang on time.
The effect of Chinese medicine is slow, and you cannot stop taking it midway.
Because Qin Yunlang was not around, Qin Miaomiao became even more unscrupulous and began to vent her dissatisfaction on Ruan Fengjiao on the bed.
She specifically used the thickest and thinnest needles to prick Ruan Fengjiao's private parts, so nothing unusual had been discovered for more than a month.
And she didn't realize that Ruan Fengjiao gradually recovered her pain sensation under her abuse...
