The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 195 Sudden Changes_1

Just at this critical moment, Han Mei walked in.

While taking off her protective sleeves, she said to Li Qing, "Qingzi, all the Wenguan Leaves have been sorted. Make sure you deliver them quickly."

"If you finish the delivery early, you can rest early. Another batch of vegetables are ready in Yue’er’s greenhouse, so you watch over the business here this afternoon. I’ll go help Tian Yue’e with Yang Xuelan."

"Oh, regarding the wages, maybe we should reduce them a bit."

Li Qing glanced at Guan Lin and stood up, saying, "Let the wages be as usual. We shouldn’t be dividing ours and theirs."

Perhaps because Guan Lin was present, Han Mei’s face couldn’t help but turn slightly red.

"Alright, let’s do as you say. Hurry up and go," Han Mei urged.

Li Qing still wanted to know what Teacher Guan really meant by her earlier words.

But obviously, it was no time to ask.

Outside the courtyard, Han Mei and the others had already loaded the vehicle.

Li Qing rode his bike straight to the town.

On the way, his mobile phone beeped continuously without stopping.

He couldn’t afford to be distracted by his phone while biking, not until he reached the town, where he finally took out his phone.

"What do you think of me? Do you ever feel the urge to do it?"

"How long can you normally last?"

"Oh, I forgot you’re biking. Let’s chat when you’re free."

Li Qing, seeing a string of messages, felt his breath quicken.

From the looks of it, Guan Lin didn’t seem to be joking; she seemed really wanting to do it.

"Since high school, Teacher Guan has always been the woman of my dreams; I’ve been tempted for many years!" Li Qing quickly typed out this line and sent it.

In less than two minutes, a message popped up, "Really? I’m quite happy to hear that."

"So when you secretly lifted my skirt back in high school, you really wanted to do me?"

"Back then, well, I had the desire but not the guts!" Li Qing’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

In those days, Teacher Guan was particularly fond of wearing black tights.

He sneaked peeks so many times, and only once did he catch a glimpse of her in red ones, incredibly sexy.

"You didn’t have the guts? You don’t know how many times you looked under my skirt. If you were a bit bolder, would you have wanted to drag me to a deserted place outside and force me?" Teacher Guan replied quickly.

"...That, I only dared to think, not to actually do it," Li Qing said sheepishly.

This thought had indeed crossed his mind when he was in high school.

He’d even thought of a place where it would be difficult for others to find out.

"You really thought about it, huh? How about I give you a chance now, do you want it?" Guan Lin replied.

"What chance?" Li Qing asked.

Just after sending the message, Brother Gong and Liang Zhongliang and others arrived on their bikes.

"The people for the pickup have arrived. Teacher Guan, let’s chat when we’re free."

Fearing that disappearing in the middle of the conversation might upset Teacher Guan, Li Qing quickly sent this message.

Brother Gong and the others parked their bikes by the roadside, got off, and came over.

Li Qing had just put away his phone when he suddenly noticed that something was not quite right with the expressions of the group; their faces were purplish, looking as if someone owed them hundreds of thousands.

"Brother Gong, what’s happening here?" Li Qing asked in astonishment.

Brother Gong waved his hand irritably, "Nowhere to talk about it, I also have no idea what’s going on. These past few days, the Wenguan Trees in the villages we visited have almost all withered away suddenly. They called me this morning; I went to take a look, and the leaves have nearly all fallen. It looks hopeless; today there’s practically no harvest."

"How can a tree just wither away like that?" Li Qing felt a shock in his heart and was somewhat puzzled.

"I suspect someone has poisoned them!" Liang Zhongliang with his buzz cut pushed his way through the crowd and said. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Li Qing found this hard to believe, "So many trees, who would go around poisoning them for no reason? Could it be that the weather was too dry this year and the trees died, or they caught some disease?"

"Brother Li, that’s not possible; I feel like it was definitely poison." Liang Zhongliang stated emphatically, "In the village I went to, the trees right in front of the villagers’ homes were fine, but those a little farther away, without exception, are all dead."

Li Qing’s brows immediately knitted together, "What about everyone else?"

"Pretty much the same," Brother Gong replied. "I also think it was poisoned."

"Moreover, I suspect it’s targeted at us!"

Li Qing’s face grew stern as he nodded.

It was already quite evident.

If it was aimed at the villagers, the trees wouldn’t have problems by entire patches.

Also, the problem probably wasn’t with him.

The Wenguan Trees in the few villages of Shanglin Village were fine when he visited today.

Whether in the village or the wild ones on the mountain, all were unharmed.

It could only be enemies Brother Gong and the others had made.

"Have you guys recently offended anyone?" Li Qing thought of this and asked.

After seriously considering, Brother Gong shook his head, "We’ve been running around every day lately; we haven’t even had the time to offend people. How could we go out of our way to offend? Moreover, working with Lü Zong now, we’re respectable folks, and we don’t just go around causing trouble for no reason."

Suddenly Li Qing thought of someone, and his gaze sharpened instantly.

"What about Old Kong the Third?" he asked.

Brother Gong’s expression changed abruptly.

From the side, Liang Zhongliang clapped his hands together angrily and said, "Damn, it probably really is that bastard!"

"The business of Wenguan Leaves in these villages was taken over from his hands by Lü Zong; if he is jealous of us making money and wants to get back at Lü Zong, he really might do something like this. Plus, he has people!"

With a grave expression, Brother Gong looked at Li Qing and said, "It’s probably really him!"

"Qingzi, are your Wenguan Trees okay?"

Li Qing shook his head, "No issues for now, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be later. I’ll have to warn them in a bit."

"It’s better to be cautious," Brother Gong said with a serious face and nodded, "I have to go find that bastard Old Kong the Third and ask him clearly what he’s up to!"

"Right, go find him and beat the hell out of that bastard," Liang Zhongliang cursed with a swing of his fist, "Damn it, playing such sneaky tricks!"

"Have the guts to target people, what kind of ability is it to go after trees."

Li Qing’s heart leapt fiercely, and he quickly stopped Brother Gong, "Brother Gong, right now we’re just suspecting; we don’t have any evidence to prove he did this. I think we should notify Lü Zong first, see what he thinks, and then it would be best to report it to the police."

The dual pressures of the police station and Secretary Zhou made Li Qing afraid of stirring up any trouble now.

Brother Gong hesitated, seething with anger, and said, "I’ll make a call to Lü Zong."

After the phone connected, Brother Gong had a brief chat with Lü Zong before handing the phone to Li Qing.

"Qingzi, stop all business for the moment!" Lü Zong said.

"Brother Gong just told me what’s happening. Let’s do things by the book, and you go with Brother Gong to the police station later."
