Chapter 5: The space seems to have become a little bigger?
But the situation on Chi Wan's side is not so optimistic.
Seeing that Chi Wan was unable to dodge and the phone was about to fall into Liu Dali's hands, the younger boy who had been standing behind her suddenly reached out to grab the phone, leaving Liu Dali empty-handed.
"Big brother, this isn't right." The boy was not panicked at all when facing Liu Dali, who was panting and staring at him fiercely. He said politely, "A group of grown men bullying a little girl?"
As he said this, he turned to the village chief who had reacted and tried to persuade Liu Dali, and said gently: "Village chief, the atmosphere in your village seems to be a little worrying. I think we should forget about the experimental base we mentioned earlier. Teacher, what do you think?"
The old man behind the young man also looked unhappy: "I read the appraisal report, there is herbicide in the soil! If it is really found under the fruit trees as the little girl's family said, then these fruit trees will probably be destroyed.
"With Guicun's style of doing things, I dare not build an experimental base here. Huaijin, let's go."
The village chief smiled bitterly. He glared at Liu Dali who was still unconvinced and tried to persuade the old man to stay: "Wait a minute... Professor Zhang, this is really an accident, an accident! This is a conflict between villagers and has nothing to do with the base. Don't worry, I will solve this matter as soon as possible.
"Regarding the base...Brother Zhou, you should also help persuade them. Where else can we find a hill as suitable as ours to build a base? You yourself said that our environment is good, the soil is good, and the price has been negotiated. Look at what has happened. Hey..."
Professor Zhang didn't care about the village chief's annoyance and said calmly: "Then wait until you have solved it."
After saying that, he planned to take Zhou Huaijin away.
Before leaving, Zhou Huaijin returned the phone to Chi Wan and whispered, "Little girl, if all your fruit trees have been sprayed with herbicides, you need to deal with them as soon as possible. Otherwise, let alone this season's harvest, the fruit trees may not survive."
Chi Wan knew that herbicides were bad when she heard about them. She studied botany, so how could she not know the harm of herbicides to fruit trees?
On the one hand, he secretly cursed Liu Dali for being heartless, and on the other hand, he sincerely said to Zhou Huaijin: "Thank you so much today! We will definitely deal with it as soon as possible!"
Fortunately, it was discovered early, so it may still be saved. It’s hard to say about this season’s harvest.
After seeing Zhou Huaijin and Professor Zhang off, Liu Dali struggled to get rid of the villagers who were holding him: "Village Chief! What did you tell me before? You clearly..."
"Shut up!" The village chief yelled, then forced a smile and said to Chi Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, you can see that now is the most important day for the village. Once this experimental base is built, our village will also prosper.
"I will never allow anyone to ruin this, otherwise they will be the enemy of the whole village! I know Dali did the wrong thing this time, but if this matter really gets out of hand, it will not look good for the villagers..."
Chi Wan sneered and said, "Then you should go find the saboteurs. What's the point of telling us, the victims?"
The village chief frowned and said, "Wan girl, you shouldn't get involved when the men are talking. Don't worry, Yuanshan, I'll let Dali help you deal with this matter. This kind of thing will never happen again, right, Dali!"
Chi Wan became even angrier after hearing this and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chi Yuanshan.
Chi Yuanshan clearly understood that the village chief was determined to protect Liu Dali and try to smooth things over!
But that's how things are in the village. Everyone is more or less related to each other. If they really fall out completely, their family will probably have a hard time in the future.
His family business failed, and Chi Yuanshan wanted to make a comeback with the orchard, but it would be a shame to offend everyone in the village.
Chi Yuanshan glanced at Liu Dali who was staring at him viciously, and said coldly: "Village Chief, I can let this matter go. But all the villagers, please be my witnesses. If such a bad thing happens in my orchard again, no matter who did it, I will send him to jail!"
"Of course, of course." The village chief readily agreed: "I will also strengthen supervision. We can't let personal grudges delay the important affairs of the village."
Liu Dali didn't say anything when he heard this. He just made a "pah" sound on the ground and walked away with his wife and a few brothers in a swagger.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the others also dispersed, leaving only the three members of the Chi family.
Although Chi Wan knew that Chi Yuanshan didn't want to make things irreparable, based on Liu Dali's attitude, she always felt that the matter was not over yet.
But the most urgent task is to deal with the orchard first.
Chi Yuanshan sighed, and when he turned to Chi Wan, he looked kind again: "My dear, you didn't eat anything this morning, go eat first. Your mother and I will go find someone to see if we can make up for it."
Chi Wan thought for a moment and said, "Liu Dali's goal is to take back the orchard, so he shouldn't really poison the fruit trees to death."
Chi Yuanshan thought so too. He touched Chi Wan's head with a smile, his face full of pride.
The couple went to work on the fruit trees, while Chi Wan hurriedly finished his meal and went into town.
She had to find a place to exchange some money to buy food and water for Li Xingye.
Of course, she still had something very important to do.
*
The long-uninhabited villa area was lifeless, with only mutated trees and animals hiding in the dark, ready to deal a fatal blow to Li Xingye and his companions at any time.
But Li Xingye is the only ninth-level mutant in the apocalypse. As long as he is not hungry, these mutated creatures are no match for him.
Huge vines protected the four people, warning those who were ready to make a move.
Li Xingye, Qiangzi and others searched every corner they could find, opened dozens of safes, and took out a large box of various kinds of jewelry.
Qiangzi looked at the jewels all over the floor, as if he saw a banquet, and he closed his eyes and muttered, "Space God, refresh some meat for us to satisfy our cravings!"
Cheng Peng, the calmest elder brother in the company, followed suit: "No meat, noodles will do. I'm so hungry for this noodle soup that I can't sleep at night!"
Haozi looked at the two speechlessly: "Good fellow, you even ordered food?! Then, Great God of Space, please give me some hot pot and Coke. Isn't it for this kind of food that people live their whole lives!"
Li Xingye just wanted to laugh when he saw them like this - if Qiangzi knew that the "God of Space" he was worshipping was actually a young girl, he would probably be so shocked that his eyes would pop out of his head.
After carefully stacking the things he had found next to Chi Wan's suitcase, making sure she could see them as soon as she entered the space, Li Xingye stepped out, planning to return to the base first.
It has been a few days since they came out, and the food in the base has probably been almost finished. If we set off now, Chi Wan might have already prepared the food by the time we arrive at the base.
But he, who has always been sensitive to the environment, found it a little strange. This space... why does it look like it has become a little bigger?
