Han Fei, showing no sign of weakness, stretched out his hand and struck the sky with a palm.
It appears that nothing has changed.
From a passerby's perspective, it looked like an old man who was almost struck by lightning had gone mad and was slapping the sky.
It looks like he's just extending his palm.
Someone filmed this scene and posted it online with the caption: "The old man was almost struck by lightning, and angrily slapped the heavens."
The old man in the photo looks familiar?
[Who else could be such a handsome grandpa besides my Grandpa Han?]
[Grandpa Han almost got struck by lightning?]
[Just a hair's breadth away! Grandpa Han is so lucky! I can't imagine what would have happened if the lightning had struck his bald head instead of the tree.]
Grandpa Han is truly blessed with good fortune; otherwise, what other grandfather at his age could start a business and build such a large enterprise?
This tree looks terrible, it's all charred!
Han Fei withdrew his hand, walked to the tree, and, under the astonished gazes of passersby, reached out and brushed the scorched area.
"Grandpa, don't hurt your hand!"
"It's still spontaneously combusting, so don't touch it!"
Han Fei smiled gratefully at the passerby: "I'm fine."
Strangely, after Han Fei touched it, the flames on the tree were extinguished.
No one suspected Han Fei; they simply assumed the extinguishing of the idea was due to the rain.
Someone came over to handle the situation. Han Fei saw that they were about to cut down the tree and asked, "Can this tree be dug up by the roots?"
"It was struck by lightning and died; it couldn't possibly have survived."
"Even if it's impossible, I'd still like to try." Han Fei smiled slightly, his demeanor refined and gentlemanly: "I can pay for it."
"This..." The tree sawer was quite perplexed.
Another person whispered, "It's okay, it was going to be sawed off and disposed of anyway, so it's good to sell it for some money."
"Alright, just pay us any amount of money and we'll dig it out for you."
Thank you.
Han Fei only had 1,000 yuan in cash on him, which was originally intended as pocket money for his youngest son.
Fortunately, the two workers were quite content, and even felt that one thousand was too much, so they wanted to return five hundred to Han Fei.
"Please keep them. If you think it's too much, you can help me deliver the trees to my place."
"Okay, then we'll deliver it to you."
Han Fei left his address and touched the lightning-struck tree that had been thrown out by its roots: "Then I'll leave it to you."
When Old Xu heard the knocking, he saw someone bringing him a charred tree and assumed they were there to cause trouble.
After calling to verify the situation, I found out that it was Han Fei who bought the tree. A charred tree actually cost a thousand!
The money has already been spent, and Old Xu is a frugal man, so naturally he can't waste it. He has to make sure the tree survives.
Old Xu and Han Heng buried the tree together in the yard, and only then did Han Fei arrive late.
Old Xu laughed in exasperation: "We've already finished planting the trees, and you, the troublemaker, are only now coming back!"
Han Fei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you guys to be so efficient."
Han Heng came out after washing his hands: "Big brother, why are you so wet? Did you get caught in the rain? Go take a hot shower, or you'll catch a cold!"
Han Fei touched his bald head and smiled, "If your hair isn't wet, you won't get sick."
Old Xu complained, "You don't have any hair at all!"
Little Qi came running out, holding a water cup full of water in her hand: "I'm going to water the little tree!"
"Oh! Grandpa, you're back!"
Han Fei nodded, his clothes heavy with the dampness of the rain, and he did not approach the little girl rashly.
Xiaoqi ran to the charred tree, squatted down to water it, and whispered, "Little tree, you're so pitiful, all black. Are you sick? It's okay, even the blackest tree will turn white if planted in our home! I'll water you, drink plenty, and get better soon..."
...
Xiaoqi took the initiative to take on a series of tasks such as watering the trees, weeding, catching insects, and loosening the soil.
The little girl worked up a sweat, her movements quick and efficient, and the once dark tree sprouted tender branches, which made Xiao Qi extremely happy.
At that moment, Han Fei was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and basking in the sun, enjoying his retirement. Hearing Xiao Qi's cheers, he looked over.
"Grandpa, look! Little Black is alive! He's turned white!"
Han Fei looked in that direction and saw that the branches had just sprouted, with a pale green surrounding a touch of tender green, and it did indeed look very white.
"It's all thanks to Xiao Qi. Go wash your hands and come have some snacks."
"Okay!"
Xiao Qi was incredibly proud, walking with her head held high. On her way to wash her hands, she had already shared the good news with everyone in the family.
"New branches have really grown!" The youngest brother looked incredulous. After verifying, he gave his sister a thumbs-up and showered her with praise.
Han Rou gently stroked Xiao Qi's little face and said with a smile, "Little sister, you have a real talent for planting."
Little Seven was overjoyed by her second sister's praise, her little face flushed: "Then can I plant lots and lots of beautiful flowers?"
"Of course! If Xiaoqi likes planting flowers, your second sister can find you lots of flower seeds."
Han Rou gave a few instructions to the spirit in her mind, and then a handful of flower seeds appeared in her pocket.
"Really!" Xiaoqi jumped up and down excitedly, clapping her hands. "I want to plant lots and lots of beautiful flowers and turn the yard into a sea of flowers like in Yunnan!"
Xiao Wu wagged his finger and said mysteriously, "What's so interesting about flowers? Let's plant something more valuable. Don't waste your talent. I'll go get you some ginseng and lingzhi seeds to plant!"
[System, system, hurry! I need to use my fan points to exchange for expensive medicinal herb seeds in the system shop!]
Exchanging Grandpa's lifespan now would be a waste; he has so many fan points that he can't possibly use them all, so he can use them to exchange for seeds for his sister.
[Host, I advise you not to waste your points on those flashy but impractical things. You'd be better off upgrading the system.]
【I'm not upgrading! Stop talking nonsense, or I'll embed you into Grandpa's watch!】
The sapphire trembled.
Not long after, Xiao Wu felt a weight in his pocket, clearly indicating that the timid system had already replaced the item.
When Han Rou and Xiao Wu simultaneously pulled out seeds from their pockets and handed them to Xiao Qi, the two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Xiaoqi tilted her head, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to get it? How come you have it so quickly?"
"I was all prepared! I've been hiding it in my pocket, just to give you a surprise!" Xiao Wu replied with a grin.
Han Fei glanced at Xiao Wu and naturally knew where the two children had gotten the seeds, but he didn't reveal it.
Little Qi, holding a small shovel, diligently dug a hole under the charred tree, then carefully planted the seeds her older sister and brother had given her into the soil.
After covering the soil with soil, the little girl gently patted the soil with her tiny hands and said in her childish voice, "You must sprout quickly!"
The peaceful days flowed by like a calm river. Ever since Han Fei struck the sky with his palm, nothing strange or bizarre had happened to the children.
However, the good news didn't last long. Suddenly, a cry rang out. Han Fei rushed to the yard to check and saw Xiao Qi digging in the soil, wailing, "A little mouse ate all of Xiao Qi's seeds! Waaah, all of Xiao Qi's seeds are gone!"
The seeds had been buried for some time, but Xiaoqi still hadn't seen them sprout. Feeling extremely anxious, she dug up the soil to check, only to find that the seeds had all vanished.
Han Fei's deep gaze fell on the tree that had been revitalized. Its charred bark had peeled off, and it was no longer the wretched tree it had been when struck by lightning.
