Lu Heng noticed the two's embarrassment and his expression instantly darkened, his tone no longer gentle. "Heh, I didn't think you two were good people from the beginning, but I didn't expect you were actually extortionists!"
After Lu Heng finished speaking, he packed up and was about to leave. Jun Haoyue hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Doctor. We don't know the reason for the contents of the box, but we did drop a box exactly like this one. Could I trade it with you for something else?"
"Forget it, I have no interest in dealing with scammers." Lu Heng rejected the request without thinking.
Jun Haoyue wanted to say something else, but seeing that the other party had lost interest in listening, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Suddenly feeling a pair of eyes looking at him, Jun Haoyue turned to look at Xu Xingchen beside him, "What's wrong? Is there something on your face?"
"Uh, no!" Xu Xingchen only reacted after hearing the voice.
Letting go of Jun Haoyue showed a feeling that she had never expressed before, but she couldn't put it into words.
Anyway, ever since Xu Xingchen showed the box to him, Jun Haoyue has shown something unusual about anything related to the box.
All of this couldn't help but arouse Xu Xingchen's suspicion!
"Well, it looks like we can't get the box." Jun Haoyue pursed her lips, her eyes still looking at Lu Heng not far away.
But Xu Xingchen's mind was not here. He rolled his eyes and said insincerely, "That person is problematic, but since that also shows that we have no destiny with that box, then let's not use it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xingchen pretended to be very regretful, but in fact his eyes were always watching Jun Haoyue's expression changes.
But the result made her somewhat disappointed! Jun Haoyue was not moved at all, her reaction was as calm as water, and she even comforted herself.
"Okay."
"Don't look at me anymore, I won't give you the box!" Lu Heng moved back holding the backpack.
Seeing this, Xu Xingchen was also helpless. "Forget it, that box is very important to us. We were too abrupt in what happened today. In that case, we don't want it anymore."
After listening to Xu Xingchen's sincere apology, Lu Heng was no longer so hostile to the two of them. He waved his hand generously.
"Nothing." Lu Heng paused, then thought of something, "Aren't you lost? Come on, I'll lead the way."
"Haha, no need. Actually, we are from the village in front. I lied to you at first just to test you." Xu Xingchen rejected Lu Heng's kindness, and his face turned slightly hot when he told the truth.
Lu Heng wasn't surprised by this. "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go home."
Then, Xu Xingchen saw Lu Heng leaning slightly towards him and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I think there's something about you and I. Let me remind you: be careful of natural disasters and man-made calamities!"
Xu Xingchen repeated this word over and over in his mouth. Before he could fully react, he saw Lu Heng put on his backpack again and left gracefully.
"What did he say?" Jun Haoyue frowned, very unhappy about Lu Heng approaching Xu Xingchen.
Xu Xingchen shook his head without saying anything, just continued to watch Lu Heng's departing back.
By the time Lu Heng had become a black dot in the distance, several dark clouds had appeared in the originally cloudless sky.
As soon as Jun Haoyue looked up, a torrential rain poured down. Xu Xingchen finally came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled up his sleeve and rushed back. Suddenly, he remembered something and cried out in surprise.
"Oh no! My crops! Go back and check on them!"
Jun Haoyue looked down at the little hand that rested on his sleeve, curled the corners of his mouth, then directly held it back, pulled Xu Xingchen and quickened the pace to go home.
They were soaked when they got home.
But Xu Xingchen didn't care about anything else at the moment. She quickly put on her straw raincoat and rushed to the place where she had planted the new crops she had researched. She did some simple protection and was relieved to see that the crops were still fine.
The heavy rain continued for several days with no sign of stopping, and it got worse day by day. In the last few days, there were even strong winds, so Jun Haoyue and Xu Xingchen had to stay at home.
"I want to go out and play."
Munduner looked longingly at the heavy rain outside the door, but what he was thinking about was the scene of a clear sky.
"Not now. Mendun can go out to play after the rain stops." Xu Xingchen walked over and touched its head, with a serious look gradually appearing in his eyes.
However, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the mist formed by the water droplets seemed to be submerging the vegetable garden, and the scenery could not be seen clearly from a distance.
The strong wind was blowing outside, and the fence gate was blown all over the place.
"No, it's raining too hard. I have to go out and check on the crops. I'm worried!"
After thinking for a long time, Xu Xingchen made a decision and immediately set out to investigate the situation in the fields, fearing that something might happen to the crops.
"The roads over there are all dirt, and it's even harder to walk on when it rains. It's just a few crops, we can just replant them next year. Why take such a big risk?"
Jun Haoyue grabbed the straw raincoat hanging on the wall and tried to stop her.
"No, that's something I spent a lot of effort to make, I can't just watch it get destroyed!" Xu Xingchen seemed extremely stubborn at this moment.
In the end, Jun Haoyue still couldn't win over Xu Xingchen. In the blink of an eye, he could only watch her go out wearing a straw raincoat.
In desperation, for the safety of Xu Xingchen, Jun Haoyue had to take the straw raincoat and secretly chase after him, just in case!
This heavy rain has not had any obvious impact on the farmlands in high altitude areas, but it has brought disaster to the farmlands in low-lying areas!
All the dry fields have been transformed into paddy fields. It is no longer possible to grow vegetables, but there is still some hope for growing rice.
Seeing these newly planted varieties drooping in the water, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but feel a pity, "What a pity for these good seedlings. I didn't plant them at the right time."
The heavy rain was still falling. Xu Xingchen had finished the inspection and was returning along the same route, but the rain was getting heavier. Even though Xu Xingchen was extremely careful with every step, the dirt road had been soaked by the rain and was difficult to walk on. He almost fell down.
Jun Haoyue hid himself not far away with the help of mist, and followed Xu Xingchen silently along the footprints she left behind.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the higher hillside. Xu Xingchen immediately felt something was wrong with the soil under his feet. "Oh no!"
But it was too late. Immediately afterwards, Xu Xingchen saw mud and water coming from above his head, and then his body fell uncontrollably down the slope, being swept away by the splashing earth.
