After all, although his father managed this huge farm, all the land belonged to the owner. They had to plant whatever the owner said they would plant, and there was no spare land for him to plant the magic herb.
He wouldn't feel comfortable planting it anywhere else, since his benefactor had repeatedly instructed him to guard the immortal herb day and night.
If anything goes wrong, he will not only lose a penny, but he may also lose his life.
Fortunately, the benefactor didn't give him many seeds, enough to plant at most a dozen acres.
Wang Lin then planned to secretly plant the herb in the master's farmland. When planting the crops, he could plant it sparsely and intersperse it with the herb so as not to attract attention.
However, he couldn't do it on his own. If the other tenant farmers and uncles mistook the magic herb for a weed and removed it, then everything would be over.
So Wang Lin told Wang Gui about it. Wang Gui was a little angry when he heard about it, but after all, he had already gotten the hundred taels.
In addition, the nobleman only asked them to help plant some things, and did not harm the owner. After the harvest, he could ask for less grain as compensation.
After all, compared to the silver he had gained, the lost grain was insignificant. After all, the nobleman had told Wang Lin that he would receive five thousand taels of silver as a reward once the immortal herb matured.
With that in mind, Wang Gui agreed to his son's request.
So the father and son planted the herb mixed with other plants on the dozens of acres of land they were in charge of.
In fact, as long as it's not too conspicuous, the host family usually won't care, so Wang Gui wasn't worried about being discovered.
After all, this kind of thing doesn't have a big impact on the tenants. Other tenants will also secretly grow some grains and vegetables that they need for their own consumption.
After all, they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves every day. They can't just steal the master's food and vegetables, can they?
I'll have to grow it myself.
Indeed, this was the case. Since Sun Ding had been in charge of the affairs of several estates for the past few months, and he was also aware of such matters, he wouldn't be too harsh on people as long as they didn't go too far.
After all, if the yield is low, the tenants will have even less grain to distribute, and they should be aware of that.
Everything was fine until a month ago, when Wang Gui suddenly noticed something was wrong with his son.
His son, Wang Lin, suddenly became irritable, and at other times he had an expression of extreme enjoyment, which made Wang Gui very worried.
After inquiring, they learned that the nobleman had given his son a box of "immortal herbs," saying that after eating them, he would be as happy as an immortal.
My son secretly ate almost the entire box of the herbal remedy. He said that every time he ate the herbal remedy, he would feel like he was floating on air.
If I don't eat, I feel irritable and uncomfortable all over.
At the time, Wang Lin wanted Wang Gui to taste the "immortal herb," but Wang Gui was afraid because of his son's condition and refused.
However, they felt a mixture of awe and fear towards the so-called "immortal herbs," wanting to eradicate them but also reluctant to part with the five thousand taels of silver they were about to receive.
I've been struggling with this ever since.
He thought that once the immortal herb matured and he received the silver, he would stop his son from doing favors for that nobleman.
But what he didn't expect was that something even more terrible happened to his son, Wang Lin, during this time.
