Chapter 702 The leader of farming cultivators(1/3)
Scattered branches and leaves, withered seedlings, if Li Banfeng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that what he saw was real.
This is the earliest boundary of Ji Banfeng. It was a new land obtained from the mountain master. The local god here is called Li Furong.
Li Furong's deeds were all in order. Under Zhang Wanlong's management, the territory was originally prosperous. Li Banfeng wanted to come back to see the condition of his roots, and by the way, he had lost the popularity of the territory, but he did not expect that the place would turn into such a miserable state.
The crop fields were in ruins. Li Banfeng went to the village built by Zhang Wanlong. The buildings in the village were still there.
But the villagers are all gone.
No matter the villagers with their own characteristics and complex behaviors, or the villagers who looked like Zhang Wanlong and could only do simple labor, they all disappeared.
Li Banfeng walked to Zhang Wanlong's house. The furnishings in the house were relatively clean, and there was still some rice in the pot.
Although it was cold, there was no mold.
Zhang Wanlong should still live here, where have the others gone?
Where did he take the roots?
After walking out of the door, Li Banfeng sniffed. The whole village was filled with a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere.
Even Zhang Wanlong's home felt strange to him. It was completely different from the house Li Banfeng was familiar with before.
Li Banfeng searched around the fields and finally saw Zhang Wanlong in a field.
Zhang Wanlong was holding a water ladle and was watering the seedlings. Genzi was holding a spoon and was following behind to apply fertilizer. Li Banfeng asked, "Brother Zhang, what happened?"
If Li Qi hadn't spoken, Zhang Wanlong wouldn't have known that he was coming. The fourth-floor residence on the clouds was too concealed.
"Master Qi, be careful when you step, don't step on the seedlings." Zhang Wanlong was much more haggard than before. He kept staring at Li Banfeng's feet. He was really afraid that Li Banfeng would step on the seedlings.
.
When Xiao Genzi saw Li Banfeng, his eyes turned red and his voice trembled: "Master Qi, all the crops are dead, only these few seedlings are left, this is all that's left——"
Maybe she wanted to cry but couldn't, and Genzi's voice was a little unclear.
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Speak more clearly. What happened? Someone called?"
Genzi shook his head and said, "No one hit me."
"Insect trouble?"
"No."
"Is it hailing?"
Zhang Wanlong's eyes turned red: "Seventh Master, there is no disaster, no harm, the crops in this ten-mile radius are just gone!"
Li Banfeng couldn't ask any more questions. He was a layman in farming, while Zhang Wanlong was a first-class expert. He couldn't mess around here.
But we have to investigate the things here carefully. This is our own territory. Who did such a cruel thing to Zhang Wanlong here?
He Jiaqing?
Or Seolhwapo?
Li Banfeng summoned the weirdos around him, and Lao Niu, the most educated man, told Li Banfeng about the situation: "Master Qi, we get along well with Brother Zhang, especially those of us who are vegetarians. We have learned a lot from Brother Zhang."
get food,
In the past few days, I don’t know what happened, the crops have been completely destroyed one by one, and we don’t know who caused the damage. If we find out, we will kill this bastard!”
Li Banfeng warned Lao Niu: "Let's inquire more and see if anyone knows the inside story."
Lao Niu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Qi, I will do my best to investigate."
"Okay, now that I've found the clue, I'll tell the Earth God that I'll remember your merits and reward you for your cultivation!"
That's what I say, but it's hard to expect this group of monsters to work.
Li Banfeng went to the area next door. When he heard that Li Qi was coming, Meng Yuchun was so excited that he took Li Banfeng's hand and went directly into the back room.
Meng Yuchun's territory was opened in half, all thanks to the three-headed man Li Banfeng lent her.
Not only that, Li Banfeng also gave her the other half of the deed.
Meng Yuchun didn't know how to repay Li Qi. As a homesteader, she didn't know much about etiquette. She just felt that for a benefactor like Li Banfeng, she should give everything to him.
"This is my sleeping place. This is my bed. There is a room over there where my spirit sleeps. Go in and have a look."
She pulled Li Banfeng into Zhai Ling's room and saw a mahogany dressing table with a bronze mirror on the dressing table.
Meng Yuchun said: "This is my house spirit."
Li Banfeng took a look at it with the skill of Jin Qingqiuhao. There was a woman in the bronze mirror. She looked twenty-five or six.
She seems to be about the same age as Meng Yuchun. In terms of appearance, she can be considered pretty, but she is much inferior to Meng Yuchun.
She was looking out of the mirror curiously. She was very curious about what kind of person Li Qi was.
But she felt that Li Qi was also looking at her, and she was so frightened that she quickly moved her gaze elsewhere.
Meng Yuchun continued: "That's my treasure room. All the magic weapons in my house are placed in that room.
There is also a room where some gadgets are kept. They are all women’s playthings. If you like them, go and have a look.
And that door, that’s where I used to escape, I had to leave a way out for myself——”
"Stop it!" Li Banfeng waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me these things."
Meng Yuchun shook his head and said, "I should tell you everything about me, and I shouldn't hide anything from you!"
Li Banfeng said: "I came to you for one thing. There is a master of farming in my land.
You know it."
Meng Yuchun nodded and said: "You are talking about Zhang Wanlong, I bought a lot of food from him, so I am an acquaintance with him."
"Something happened to him recently, did you know?"
"I know a little bit. His crops have withered. I still don't know why. I guess it was an insect cultivator or a poisonous cultivator that harmed him, but this is just a guess. I have no clues."
Meng Yuchun also has no clues.
Who could have done it?
Li Banfeng returned to Zhang Wanlong's village. Zhang Wanlong was still taking care of the seedlings in the fields. Li Banfeng wanted to ask Zhang Wanlong if he had met an enemy recently, but unexpectedly, someone asked him on his behalf.
"Wanlong, have you offended anyone recently?"
Although Li Banfeng did not sense any malice, he still hid far away.
Zhang Wanlong was startled, Xiao Genzi trembled with fright, and the two of them quickly saluted: "Master."
Xu Han is here.
Li Banfeng heard from Yao Lao that Lao Xu had something to deal with. Could it be that he made a special trip to deal with Zhang Wanlong?
Xu Han knelt down and picked a leaf from the seedling: "Didn't you hear what I asked you just now?
Did you offend someone?"
Zhang Wanlong shook his head and said, "I didn't offend anyone."
Xu Han inspected two more leaves: "Think about it carefully.'
Zhang Wanlong thought for a long time and remembered three people: "A dance cultivator came here once. He wanted to buy seeds, but I didn't sell them to him."
He was talking about Du Wenming.
Xu Han waved his hand and said, "If it's not Wu Xiu, let's talk about others.'
"The other one is He Jiaqing. He also wanted to buy seeds, but he and Master Qi were not on good terms. I didn't want to offend anyone, so I didn't sell them to him."
Xu Han was silent for a while and said: "He is a pirate cultivator. It may be him. Let's talk about others."
Zhang Wanlong added: "There was also a foreigner named Cui Tike. He also came to buy seeds, but the incident at Desong Cliff had just happened at that time. I didn't want to be implicated by him, so I didn't sell to him..."
"Needless to say," Xu Han sighed, "even if you are a farmer, you can't avoid these rights and wrongs!"
Zhang Wanlong cried: "Master, these are the only seedlings left in the acres of land I have worked so hard to save. I see something is wrong with the leaves."
Xu Han took the leaf in his hand, looked at it again, and then threw it into the ground: "Follow me."
Zhang Wanlong saw hope and caught up with Mr. Xu excitedly.
Li Banfeng followed behind, and the four of them walked outside the field together. Mr. Xu took out his pipe pot and smoked a cigarette.
Half of the pack of cigarettes was smoked, and Lao Xu threw the ashes out of the pot.
The dust flew into the sky and turned into sparks all over the sky, falling on the crops like raindrops.
Zhang Wanlong wailed: "Master, what are you doing!"
He was about to rush into the crop fields, but Xu Han stopped him: "These crops are sick. I have never seen these diseases. Once spread, the harm will be endless!"
Sick? Lesions?
Li Banfeng's heart trembled. According to Mr. Xu, the culprit of this matter has been confirmed.
Is it really Tritik?
Zhang Wanlong was still crying, but Xu Han frowned and said, "Why are you crying? Can't you afford to lose? As a farmer, you have no sense at all. You deserve to be plotted against!"
