This snakeskin bag, though it looks like it's only half full, is inexplicably heavy. Could it be that someone was being lazy and didn't put in the effort?
The four people looked at each other, each seeing the same doubt on the other's face.
"..."
The four of them carried the bag heavier and heavier until they finally reached the artificial lake. They hurriedly put down the snakeskin bag, rubbed their backs, and looked up, only to be met with the same puzzled expression.
Okay, okay, if someone's slacking off, let them be lazy. Just throw away the sweet potato and finish the task.
The four men prepared to push the snakeskin bag into the lake together, but after a moment: "..."
"Let's open them and throw them out one by one," someone suggested. Everyone agreed and busily opened the burlap sacks and began throwing them out.
This time it was easy to throw away, but why are these sweet potatoes so heavy even though they're not very big?
Whether it's heavy or not isn't the issue; the problem is how appealing these sweet potatoes look! They're golden and smell incredibly fragrant, making my mouth water for no reason...
Sweet potatoes were thrown into the lake one by one and quickly sank to the bottom.
"Hey, what are they doing over there?"
Pharmacist Chen's car turned a corner and drove right onto the embankment across the lake.
This is a main road area with no buildings to block the view, so the driver could see the commotion in the Xie family's backyard at a glance.
"Who knows, they might be up to something again." Wu Jiang crossed his arms and snorted coldly, clearly displeased with what had happened to the Xie family today.
Although it was already evening, the summer heat had not yet subsided. He raised his hand to roll up the car window, too lazy to pay attention to the Xie family's messy affairs.
Pharmacist Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, glanced at the person who spoke.
Wu Jiang had already rolled up the car windows completely, blocking out the view.
...
"Wait!" Pharmacist Chen had already turned his head away, but his heart felt like it had been punched, and he suddenly turned his head back.
He rushed over without regard for his image, quickly rolled down the car window, and stared intently at the opposite shore of the lake. A thought popped into his head, and his heart began to pound.
"Stop the car! Stop the car now!"
Wu Jiang was confused, but he realized the urgency of the situation and hurriedly shouted, "Old Jiang, stop the car!"
The car suddenly stopped.
Wu Jiang stared wide-eyed at the opposite bank of the lake. Alchemists require high naked-eye vision, but even so, he couldn't see clearly. He only saw the four burly men throw down a snakeskin bag and turn to leave.
"..."
"Pharmacist Chen, what's wrong?" Wu Jiang couldn't help but ask, though he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Pharmacist Chen squeezed his eyes shut, the thought causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably.
He must be insane to think he just saw the Sacred Heart Fruit that so many people dream of...
His intense emotions had gradually calmed down. Although he was certain that he had misjudged the situation, his cautious nature still made him want to go back and take a look.
He opened his eyes, met Wu Jiang's blank gaze, and ordered, "Turn around and go back to the Xie family."
At the entrance of the Xie family villa, the servants in the security room saw that Pharmacist Chen's car had turned back and were about to open the gate to let him through when the car drove straight past, turned, and headed towards the lakeside in the backyard.
maid:"……"
The car stopped by the lake, and the closer Chen Yaoshi got to this moment, the calmer his heart became.
...It was all just wishful thinking. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Therefore, he had absolutely no expectations for this trip.
Wu Jiang got out of the car with Pharmacist Chen and looked around. "Were those people throwing things here?"
