Chapter 1805 Vegetable Basket Project
Chapter 1805 Vegetable Basket Project
Fang Shiyou and his group had a very difficult time picking the leaves.
In Hecheng this season, if you want green leaves everywhere, it's really a bit difficult to find yellow or red ones.
Moreover, the treasure must be very yellow or red; ordinary yellow or red treasures are not acceptable.
I found some for her before, but she didn't like any of them, saying they weren't bright and attractive enough.
They searched and searched, and after wandering around for who knows how long, they finally saw a colorful tree deep in the woods.
It's so beautiful, so amazing! There are trees in this world that can have so many colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—it's so beautiful it looks unreal.
The shape of the leaves is also very special, resembling sailboats.
The leaves shimmered and sparkled, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary.
Fang Shiyou sighed, "If I didn't know that we are now in the Dharma-ending Age, I would have thought we had accidentally stumbled into the world of cultivation."
How can there be such a magical tree on earth?
The colors are also particularly vibrant.
We have green, we have yellow, let's add some other colors, like red... There's only one red leaf on the whole tree, and it's growing at the very top.
Fortunately, Fang Shiyou knew kung fu. He leaped up and kept climbing until he finally picked the biggest and most beautiful red leaf.
Then, they were ambushed.
"Help! There really is a thief!"
"Everyone, come quick!! Someone's trying to steal our colorful tree!!"
"Aaaaaah! He even picked our gem leaves!!"
"Kill them!!"
For no apparent reason, a large number of people suddenly emerged from the woods, chasing Fang Shiyou and his companions around with hoes, shovels, and sticks.
Although Fang Shiyou was skilled in martial arts and could easily escape, he had two useless teammates who dragged him down.
Gu Feifan was a useless, good-for-nothing; he was the first to be arrested. Nuha was a little better; he was a long-time outdoor enthusiast and had good stamina.
Unfortunately, students from agricultural universities have to go to the experimental fields and do farm work, so they have better physical strength.
So he was also restrained.
With both teammates captured, Fang Shiyou originally planned to run away first without any loyalty, but... those shameless guys from the Agricultural University held a sickle to Gu Feifan's neck, so Fang Shiyou had no choice but to obediently go back and surrender.
Then the students from the agricultural university discovered that they had not only picked a large handful of leaves from the multicolored tree, but also removed the most precious and rare ruby leaves.
Tears streamed down the students' faces. This was the only new variety they had painstakingly cultivated over several years; it was a one-of-a-kind plant, a single patch of it.
Damn, they really know how to pick them!
I'm so sad!
The crowd erupted in anger, and someone shouted, "Beat them up!!"
Then everyone rushed up!
Fang Shiyou stuck the red leaf to his stomach, then curled up and started beating people up.
For martial artists, fighting one person at a time is a minor matter; they treat it as a way to strengthen their muscles and bones.
The Fang family practices external martial arts, so he's easily beaten up hundreds of times a year and isn't afraid at all.
But Gu Feifan and Nuha were not so tolerant. They cursed while being beaten, and each curse only enraged the other party, resulting in them getting even more beatings.
Vicious circle.
They almost beat Fang Shiyou and his men to death.
Fortunately, the school leaders arrived in time, otherwise they would have been finished here today.
"Who are you? Are you students? Why are you stealing leaves?"
Fang Shiyou and his group had been arguing for a while, and were just about to grit their teeth and pretend to be agricultural college students when—who would have thought—
"Teacher, I know him. He is Fang Shiyou from the neighboring University A."
How could I not know him? Fang Shiyou is too high-profile. He's already had several fights with his dormmates and the agricultural college students, and he's blown up quite a few.
Therefore, its popularity is quite...high.
Look, there's that kid in the crowd whom he kicked over last time. He's the one who pointed out Fang Shiyou.
"And this foreigner, he's also an international student at University A."
Nuha is famous purely because he is rich, extremely rich. With such wealth, it's impossible for him to be low-key.
Needless to say, the other one is also from University A, right?
Needless to say, if it's A University, it's a blood feud, a deadly feud, the kind that can't be resolved.
The leaders of the agricultural university were trembling with anger. "Fine, fine, you're playing dirty tricks, aren't you?"
They just borrowed their land to grow some fruit, but they come to steal it every year. What's the point?
Now they've even stolen their precious tree! This is intolerable!
The leader, enraged, laughed: "Fine, fine, I'll call Yu Wenhao right now and ask him why his students are causing trouble at our school!"
This is outrageous! Do they think our Agricultural University is their own private garden to exploit? So all their hard work over the years is just to enrich University A's vegetable basket?
Now that they're in his hands, they'll be sorry!
It's over, it's over, it's all over.
Teacher Shen is going to beat him to death.
Fang Shiyou's face was even more ashen than when his father had died.
but--
"Fortunately, Master and the others were not arrested."
The three of them exchanged glances and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
I can't imagine what would happen if Master were also caught and beaten by these irrational students. What if he got hurt? How would they explain it to Brother Chuan and Sister Xi?
etc--
"Where did they go?"
"It was agreed that we'd work while they kept watch, so where are they?"
"There wasn't a sound at all. If we had seen them warn us earlier, we wouldn't have been arrested."
The three fellow sufferers sighed in unison, "Alas..."
Fang Shiyou nodded: "Never mind, we've already caught them anyway, so we should protect the leaves."
"Yes, Master is still waiting to do the handicrafts."
Nuha was optimistic: "It's okay, at worst we'll lose money, I'll cover it!"
Having a rich senior as a classmate is really great.
Fang Shiyou and Gu Feifan now look at him with admiration.
The next second, they both breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness Master is alright."
Of course, the clever person was unharmed; not only was the treasure safe, but she also reaped a considerable reward.
The three large bags were all packed full and heavy, so heavy that they were impossible to lift.
Seeing how hard the two men were carrying the load, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have dragged her three male apprentices into it; otherwise, who would do the hard labor?
Or should she call someone to help carry it?
But who should we shake?
The little guy is conflicted.
Wen Ying leaned closer: "Master, it seems there's no movement over there."
When the commotion first started, they were terrified and felt extremely guilty.
I decided to go all in and simply ignore the obvious, heading deeper into the orchard. That way, I wouldn't feel guilty as much, and my conscience would feel much better.
Now that they were full and had their fill, they were about to leave, so naturally they listened carefully. They thought, "They must have been taken away, right?" But then there was no sound.
As expected, Master's trick worked. Everyone was drawn away by the three thieves, allowing them to pick the berries freely and without restraint.
There's no need to worry about being discovered.
Now is the time to pick them all, and we can swagger home without a care in the world.
Following your master will pave a smooth road in life.
