Lord of Puluo

Chapter 141 Orange Orchard

Taking advantage of the guilt in the record player's heart, Li Banfeng bullied her severely and slept all night. The next morning, Li Banfeng went to the orange grove again.

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

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

The fifty-centimeter orange is bigger than a grapefruit, but its peel is soft and thin.

Peeling off the orange peel, the large and full orange segments exuded a unique aroma. Li Banfeng, who had a keen sense of smell, couldn't bear the temptation, so he picked up an orange segment and took a bite.

The sweet and slightly sour orange juice poured into your mouth. Whether it was 90% sweet or 10% sour, it stimulated every cluster of taste buds.

The originally refreshing aroma sprayed down his throat and into his nose. After taking this bite, Li Banfeng couldn't stop anymore.

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

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

Why do these oranges smell so good?

grease!

There's grease in it!

It's not the greasy fat from animals, it's the semi-solidified fat mixed in the orange juice.

The fat flows in the mouth along with the orange juice, and the tongue can capture the delicate texture. However, the orange juice does not want to stay for too long. It slides into the esophagus along with the condensed fat and falls into the stomach pouch.

No, it’s not enough yet.

Li Banfeng picked up another orange segment, sucked it and ate it.

The two big oranges went down in an instant, making Li Banfeng's belly round.

He put away the orange peel.

He didn't really want the orange peel. He really didn't need the money. Moreover, the orange peel was very thin. If two oranges were added together, the orange peel wouldn't be enough to weigh a pound.

But Li Banfeng remembered the old Orion's instructions and tried not to waste anything in this orange orchard.

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

Smelling the scent of oranges on the trees, Li Banfeng's appetite was aroused again.

I can't eat anymore, my stomach will burst if I eat anymore.

He was having a fierce ideological struggle when he suddenly smelled a hint of smoke in the orange aroma.

Where does this smoke smell come from?

To the east of the orange grove, an old man in his sixties was tied to an orange tree, and two young men held torches and dangled in front of the old man.

"You said you're an old man, you're already coffin flesh, why are you causing trouble here?"

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

"What did we do? We didn't chop down the trees or destroy the oranges. What rule did we break?"

Li Banfeng was also curious and stood behind the two young people, listening quietly.

Yeah, which rule did they break?

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

A young man grinned and said, "What does our burning of trees have to do with you? How about we burn you instead of burning trees?"

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 then they realized that there was someone behind them.

A young man drew his dagger and shouted, "Who are you?"

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

The two young men couldn't tell the difference and rushed towards Li Banfeng with daggers on the left and right.

They have a tacit understanding, and it can be seen that they must have been working together for a while.

He is extremely proficient in using short swords. He should be a martial artist, between the first and second levels.

It was really not easy for these two people to walk to the orange grove. They must have asked someone for directions beforehand.

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

Li Banfeng took a step to the left first, swung the sickle and chopped the neck of one of them. Then he took a step to the right, reached the other young man, and hooked the sickle into his chest.

"Don't move, if you move again I'll rip out your heart!"

The tip of the knife almost touched his heart, and the young man remained motionless.

Li Banfeng said expressionlessly: "Let me ask you again, why do you want to burn the tree?"

The young man gasped hard and said, "We are here to catch the weevils. The weevils are all in the trunks of the trees. It is difficult to catch them. Burning them with fire can force the weevils out."

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

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

Such a beautiful orange tree died just like that.

Li Banfeng looked at the young man, frowned and asked, "You waste such good oranges like this?"

"We are here to catch weevils! This insect is so slippery. The two of us can catch thirty to fifty in a day. We can set fire to trees and catch more than a hundred in a day! We have worked hard to get here, and we just want to catch a few more. Just going back is enough!"

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

The young man endured the pain and gritted his teeth and said: "Stand shoulder to shoulder, keep your feet wide, and don't lose your way. You still don't know which line I skate on. I am from Lanyang Village, the fifth son of the Ma family." You are my boss, you dare to touch me? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Are you from Lanyang Village?" Li Banfeng looked surprised, "I mean, it turns out they are all brothers. Come on, let's talk somewhere else."

The one whose neck was cut was not dead yet, so Li Banfeng took him with him and went to a distance, avoiding the old man's sight. He threw them both into his home.

This time the lady was not reserved. She had already eaten before Li Banfeng closed the door.

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 have gone home. I asked them to reflect on it and promise not to do it again in the future."

The old man sighed and seemed to understand what Li Banfeng meant. He walked to the burned orange trees and touched the burnt bark.

new

"These beasts are doing evil! Are you from Huaziwan too?"

Hanako Bay?

What is that place?

"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."

"Old man, have you remembered the wrong place?" Li Banfeng blinked, "Green Water Bay is full of rich people."

The old man gently stroked the bark of the tree, seeming to be recalling the past: "When I was young, there was a beggar in Huazi Bay. He contracted a strange disease from unknown sources and developed abscesses all over his body. White pus began to ooze out, and later... Red pus, eventually the pus turned green,

At that time, in Huaziwan, apart from beggars, the rest were poor people. If they could have enough to eat, they would be considered lucky. If they got sick, they would definitely have no money to treat them.

This beggar's disease was so frightening that he was covered in green water. No one dared to get too close to him. No one gave him food to eat. Even if he picked some garbage from the gutter to eat, people would throw stones at him.

Even after reaching this point, he still couldn't die, and he just kept living like this, neither human nor ghost. "

A beggar oozing green pus!

Li Banfeng has seen this person before,

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

"Young man, what are you thinking about?"

In shock, Li Banfeng responded: "He has always been alive? Then his life is pretty good."

"Hard! Really hard! Because his cultivation level is high enough."

"What sect is he, and what level of cultivation is he?"

"His Taoist sect was created by himself. Others can't tell, and no one knows how many levels it has. Unfortunately, he is ill and can't use all his abilities.

One day, it was snowing heavily, and he was so hungry that he went begging for food on the street, but no one gave him anything to eat.

He starved to death. On the day of his death, many people in Huaziwan suffered from strange diseases. They first developed a rash, and when the rash broke, it turned into abscesses. The abscesses began to ooze white pus, and after a few days, they became aeruginosa,

The green pus oozed for a few days, and they all died of the disease. People around them also started to develop rashes, and soon began to ooze green pus again.

People died one after another, and almost everyone in Huazi Bay died. From then on, Huazi Bay became Green Water Bay. "

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

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

"Have you been to Huazi Bay?"

The old man smiled: "How can you tell me that I have been there? I am from Huaziwan. I came to Xindi to escape the catastrophe."

Green Water Bay was originally called Huazi Bay.

It all started with a beggar who oozed green pus.

The name 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 had never heard anyone mention this.

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

How old is he?

When you come to the orange grove, anyone who damages 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 always lived in this orange orchard? Have you never been back 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 is no will-o'-the-wisp on this old man, he should be a human being.

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

If three people give alms to him, the matter will be over. If there are no three people to give alms to him, he will bring disaster, which is exactly the same as before his death. "

Li Banfeng's scalp was numb. He gave the beggar a few steamed buns, which should be regarded as charity.

Xiaochuanzi gave two eggs to the beggar, which was considered charity.

Has anyone given him alms?

In Lanyang Village, the folk customs are so simple. Will anyone give alms to beggars? Still a beggar covered in green pus!

Green Water Bay is this beggar’s territory. Why did he choose Lanyang Village to beg?

Did he deliberately want to cause disaster?

Did he deliberately destroy his own territory?

Is a plague about to break out in Lanyang Village?

It's been so long and nothing seems to have happened...

As his thoughts were whirling, the old man suddenly asked: "Hunter, did you just bury the seeds in the soil?"

Li Banfeng was startled, but he didn't lie and answered truthfully: "Yes."

The old man nodded and asked: "What did you come to the orange garden for? Do you want orange peels or orange maggots? Or are you looking for something else?"

Li Banfeng replied: "I want to come and 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 will definitely be to eat oranges, because the oranges here are so delicious."

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

"I came here this time to find the blue-leaf poplar."

"What are you doing with Lanye Yang? To make weapons?"

"That's not true. I want the blue-leaf poplar 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 blue-leaf poplar to dissolve erysipelas, right?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

The old man sighed: "Don't think about it. The toxicity of blue-leaf poplar can indeed counterattack erysipelas, but no one has successfully refined it over the years, not even the King of Medicine in Yaowanggou.

You are a good young man, but don't risk your life on this matter. Once the blue-leaf poplar enters your mouth, you will definitely die. "

PS: I think, in this case, you still have to listen to Copper Lotus.
