Chapter 141 Orange Orchard

Taking advantage of the guilt in his heart, Li Banfeng bullied her severely, slept for a night, and went to the orange orchard again the next morning.

Li Banfeng wandered around the orange orchard for a long time, but still had no harvest at noon.

He was hungry, and he didn't want to eat canned food, so he simply climbed up the tree to pick two oranges and ate them under the tree.

The 50-centimeter orange is bigger than the grapefruit, but the orange peel is soft and thin.

Peeling the orange peel, the huge and plump orange petals exuded a unique fragrance. Li Banfeng, who had a keen sense of smell, couldn't stand this temptation, picked up an orange petal and bit it.

The sweet and slightly sour orange juice poured into his mouth, and no matter the 90% sweetness or the 10% sourness, it stimulated every taste bud.

The originally refreshing fragrance sprayed down the throat into the nasal cavity. After taking this bite, Li Banfeng couldn't stop.

In other states, he was a poor man who had never eaten anything good in his life.

But in Lanyang Village, he lived a rich life and had eaten some delicious food, but none of them could compare with this orange.

Why is this orange so fragrant?

Grease!

There is grease inside!

It is not the greasy fat of animals, but the semi-solidified fat that has been melted into the orange juice.

The fat flows in the mouth along with the orange juice, and the tongue can capture the delicate texture, but the orange juice is unwilling to stay for too long, and slides into the esophagus along with the solidified fat and falls into the stomach.

No, it's not enough yet.

Li Banfeng picked up another orange segment and ate it with a slurp.

Two big oranges were eaten in a blink of an eye, making Li Banfeng's belly round.

He put away the orange peel.

He didn't want the orange peel too much, he really didn't need this little money, and the orange peel was very thin. The orange peel of two oranges together was not even one pound.

But Li Banfeng remembered the old hunter's advice, and tried not to waste anything in this orange orchard.

Such good oranges really shouldn't be wasted, and Li Banfeng carefully buried even the orange seeds in the soil.

Smelling the orange fragrance on the tree, Li Banfeng's appetite was aroused again.

Can't eat anymore, or your stomach will burst.

He was struggling with his thoughts, and suddenly he smelled a hint of smoke in the orange fragrance.

Where did this smoke come from?

…

To the east of the orange orchard, a sixty-year-old man was tied to an orange tree, and two young men were holding torches and swaying in front of the old man.

"You old thing, you're so old, why are you making trouble here?"

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

"What did we do? We didn't cut down the tree, nor did we waste the oranges. Which rule did we break?"

Li Banfeng was also curious, standing behind the two young men, listening quietly.

Yes, what rule did they break?

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "You burned trees, and all those trees were burned to death by you!"

A young man grinned and said, "What does it have to do with you that we burned trees? How about we not burn trees, but you?"

Another young man smiled and waved the torch in the old man's face again.

Li Banfeng asked, "Why are you burning trees?"

The two young men were startled and realized that there was someone behind them.

A young man pulled out a short knife and shouted, "Who are you?"

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "I asked first, why are you burning trees?"

The two young men rushed towards Li Banfeng with short knives on the left and right without saying anything.

They had a tacit understanding, and it was obvious that they had cooperated for a while.

The short knife was used very skillfully, and they should be martial artists, with a cultivation level between the first and second levels.

It was not easy for these two people to walk to the orange orchard. They must have asked someone for a strategy in advance.

But how did they cross the Iron Wire River? This made Li Banfeng a little curious.

Li Banfeng took a step to the left, swung his sickle and chopped off one of the men’s necks, then stole a step to the right, came to another young man, and hooked his chest with the sickle.

“Don’t move, or I’ll dig your heart out!”

The tip of the knife almost touched the heart, but the young man didn’t move.

Li Banfeng said expressionlessly: “I’ll ask you again, why do you want to burn the tree?”

The young man panted hard; “We are here to catch elephant beetles. The elephant beetles are all in the tree trunks, which are difficult to catch. We can force the elephant beetles out by burning them.”

Li Banfeng looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen orange trees around that were burnt all over. The old man said with tears in his eyes: “These trees have been ruined by them.”

The oranges on the tree were still there, and Li Banfeng could still smell the fragrance of oranges.

Such a good orange tree died just like that.

Li Banfeng looked at the young man, frowned and asked: "Such good oranges, you guys just wasted it like this?"

"We are here to catch weevils! This bug is too slippery. My brother and I can catch thirty to fifty a day. If we set fire to the tree, we can catch more than a hundred a day! We came here with great difficulty, and we want to catch a few more to take back, so that we can get back our money!"

Li Banfeng said: "If you catch slowly, you can catch more in a few days. Anyway, there are oranges to eat. If you waste it like this, this orange orchard will be extinct in a few days."

The young man endured the pain and gritted his teeth and said: "Shoulder to shoulder, step wider, don't walk the road, you don't know which line I am slipping, I am from Lanyang Village, the fifth son of the Ma family is my boss, you dare to touch me? Have you thought about the consequences?"

"You are from Lanyang Village?" Li Banfeng was surprised, "I thought, it turns out that we are all brothers, come, let's go to another place to talk."

The man whose neck was cut was not dead yet, so Li Banfeng took him with him and went far away, avoiding the old man's sight. He threw both of them into Suishenju.

This time, the lady was not reserved. Before Li Banfeng closed the door, she had already eaten.

Returning to the old man, Li Banfeng untied the rope.

The old man stood up, stretched his muscles, and asked, "Where are the two young men?"

Li Banfeng said, "They went home. I asked them to reflect on themselves and promise not to do it again in the future."

The old man sighed, as if he understood what Li Banfeng meant. He walked to the burned orange trees and touched the charred bark.

"What a sin, these beasts! Are you from Huaziwan too?"

Huaziwan?

What place is that?

"I'm from Green Water Bay."

The old man smiled when he heard this: "Green Water Bay is what you call it. When I was young, it was called Huazi Bay, and there were beggars everywhere."

"Grandpa, did you remember the wrong place?" Li Banfeng blinked his eyes, "Green Water Bay is full of rich people."

The old man gently stroked the bark, as if recalling the past: "When I was young, there was a beggar in Huazi Bay. I don't know where he got a strange disease, and he got abscesses all over his body. At first, white pus flowed, and then red pus flowed. Pus, and finally the pus turned green.

At that time, in Huaziwan, except for the beggars, the rest were poor people. They were lucky to have enough food to eat. If they got sick, they would definitely have no money to treat it.

This beggar's disease was too scary. He was covered with green pus. No one dared to get too close to him. No one gave him food. Even if he picked up some garbage in the gutter to fill his stomach, some people would throw stones at him.

Even at this point, he still couldn't die. He just lived like a ghost. "

A beggar with green pus!

Li Banfeng had seen this person before.

The man's voice rang in his ears again: "Have mercy on me."

"Young man, what are you thinking about?"

Stunned, Li Banfeng responded: "He has been alive? Then he is quite lucky."

"Rugged! Really tough! Because his cultivation is high enough."

"What is his sect, and how many levels is he?"

"His sect is created by himself. Others can't tell clearly, and no one knows how many levels there are. Unfortunately, he got sick and couldn't use all his skills.

One day, it snowed heavily, he was so hungry that he begged for food on the street, but no one gave him food.

He starved to death. On the day of his death, many people in Huaziwan got strange diseases. They first got rashes, and when the rashes broke, they became It became a boil, and the boil began to ooze white pus, and after a few days it turned into green pus.

The green pus oozes for a few days, and the sick people die. The people around them also start to have rashes, and soon they start to ooze green pus again.

People die one after another, and almost all the people in Huazi Bay are dead. Since then, Huazi Bay has become Green Water Bay. "

Li Banfeng became more and more scared as he listened. He looked at the old man in front of him carefully and asked carefully: "When did this happen?"

The old man shook his head and said: "Many years ago, I don't remember how many years ago it was."

"Have you been to Huazi Bay?"

The old man smiled: "How can I say I have been there? I am from Huazi Bay. I came to Xindi to avoid the disaster."

Green Water Bay was originally called Huazi Bay.

Everything originated from a beggar who oozes green pus.

The name of Yaowanggou comes from Yaowang.

The name of Green Water Bay comes from the beggar.

So this beggar is the owner of Green Water Bay?

Li Banfeng has never heard anyone talk about this.

The old man in front of me and the beggar with green pus in his eyes are from the same generation.

How old is he?

Anyone who comes to the orange grove and destroys the orange trees will die.

Is it related to this old man?

Is this old man the owner of the orange grove?

"Old man, have you been living in this orange grove? Never returned to Green Water Bay?" Li Banfeng opened his golden eyes, he wanted to know whether this old man was a human or a ghost.

There was no ghost fire on the old man, he should be a human.

The old man nodded and said: "I dare not go back. Although the beggar is dead, I heard that his soul is still there. After a while, he will come out and beg for food with a bowl.

If three people give him alms, this matter will be over. If there are no three people who give him alms, he will bring disaster, the same disaster as before he died."

Li Banfeng's scalp was numb. He gave the beggar a few steamed buns at that time, which should be considered alms.

Xiao Chuanzi gave the beggar two eggs, which was considered alms.

Has anyone ever given alms to him?

Lan Yang Village is a place with such simple folk customs. Would anyone give alms to a beggar? And a beggar covered with green pus!

Green Water Bay is the beggar's territory. Why did he choose Lan Yang Village to beg?

Did he deliberately want to bring disaster?

Did he deliberately destroy his own territory?

Is there going to be an epidemic in Lan Yang Village?

It has been so long, and there seems to be no movement...

While thinking about it, the old man suddenly asked: "Young man, did you bury seeds in the soil just now?"

Li Banfeng was startled, and did not lie. He answered truthfully: "Yes."

The old man nodded and asked again: "What are you doing in the orange orchard? Do you want orange peels, or orange maggots? Or do you want to find something else?"

Li Banfeng replied: "I want to eat oranges."

The old man shook his head and smiled: "Young man, tell the truth, you must tell the truth in front of me."

Li Banfeng answered truthfully: "If I come here again next time, it must be to eat oranges, because the oranges here are so delicious."

The old man nodded, he believed Li Banfeng: "Then why did you come this time?"

"I came this time to find Lan Ye Yang."

"What do you want to find Lan Ye Yang for? To forge weapons?"

"That's not the case. I want Lan Ye Yang to refine medicine." Li Banfeng simply told the truth, because he felt that any lie would be seen through by the old man.

The old man pondered for a while and said: "You want to use Lan Ye Yang to dissolve the poison of the elixir, right?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

The old man sighed: "Don't think about it. The toxicity of Lan Ye Yang can indeed counterattack the poison of the elixir, but no one has succeeded in refining it for many years, even the Medicine King of Yaowanggou can't refine it.

You are a good young man, but don't risk your life on this matter. Once Lan Ye Yang enters your mouth, you will definitely die."

PS: I think that in this case, we still have to listen to Tong Lianhua.
