Chapter 143 Recovered Fruit Trees Fight New Disease
Recovering from diseased fruit trees and fighting new diseases
Su Yunlan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She rushed into the orchard, and what she saw was that the once vibrant fruit trees were now drooping with sickly branches and leaves, with large, eerie black spots on the leaves, as if they had been scorched by fire, and a faint smell of decay permeated the air.
"How could this happen..." Su Yunlan murmured to herself, reaching out to stroke the rough tree trunk, feeling a cold sensation on her fingertips.
She could feel the trees losing their vitality; it was a heart-wrenching decay.
Xiao Yuhan arrived shortly after, and upon seeing the scene, his thick brows furrowed, his worry evident in his expression.
He grasped Su Yunlan's hand and said in a deep voice, "Lan'er, don't worry, we will find a solution."
The surrounding fruit farmers also gathered around, their faces filled with despair.
They watched helplessly as the orchard went from thriving to terminally ill again, as if they had experienced a fall from heaven to hell. The flames of hope were extinguished time and time again, leaving only a deep sense of powerlessness.
Chen Guonong beat his chest and stamped his feet, lamenting, "Heavens, why are you playing such a cruel trick on us! We finally saw a glimmer of hope, are we going to go back to those miserable days?"
Young Master Xiao was also extremely anxious. Although he had learned a lot about fruit trees from Su Yunlan, he was helpless in the face of this disease that he had never seen before.
Researcher Zhao carefully examined the diseased tree, then shook his head gravely: "I have never seen this disease before, and there is currently no effective treatment." His words struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.
Su Yunlan felt an immense pressure on her shoulders. All eyes were on her, filled with anticipation, anxiety, and a hint of doubt.
She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, but her heart was churning like a stormy sea.
No, she can't give up!
She was determined to find a solution to save the orchard and these honest fruit farmers!
Su Yunlan's gaze hardened. She looked around, and a thought suddenly occurred to her...
She turned and walked away quickly, leaving only the words, "I need some time."
Su Yunlan jogged along, and after confirming that no one was around, she made a thought and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and she found herself in her own space.
A rich spiritual energy washed over her, cleansing her restless mind.
Ignoring the vibrant life within the space, Su Yunlan headed straight for the herb garden.
She knew that her only hope now lay in the medicinal herbs in the space, which held infinite possibilities.
Her gaze swept quickly across the rows of medicine shelves, where various rare medicinal herbs gleamed with an alluring luster.
Her mind raced, recalling her medical knowledge in hopes of finding a clue.
Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she still did not give up.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on an ancient book in the corner.
She obtained it by chance; it contained some ancient prescriptions and medical techniques.
She hurriedly picked up the ancient book, turned to one of the pages, and a line of ancient text came into view: "The miasma corrodes plants and trees, which can be cured with 'Jingling Powder'."
"Pure Spirit Powder!" Su Yunlan's heart suddenly raced. She carefully read the prescription's preparation method and pharmacology, becoming more and more excited as she read.
This "Jingling Powder" is an ancient medicinal formula that can dispel miasma from plants and restore their vitality.
However, this prescription requires several extremely rare medicinal herbs that cannot be found in ordinary places.
She looked up at the lush herbs in the space. The space was full of spiritual energy, so perhaps she could find alternative herbs, or even find those rare herbs directly!
She took a deep breath, gripped the ancient book tightly in her hand, and was filled with determination to overcome her illness.
When she emerged from the space, Xiao Yuhan was standing there anxiously waiting.
Upon seeing Su Yunlan appear, he immediately went to greet her, took her hand, and asked with his eyes what was going on.
Su Yunlan grasped Xiao Yuhan's hand in return, feeling the warmth and strength in his palm.
She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, he would always be by her side, giving her the strongest support.
She nodded at him, her eyes sparkling with confidence: "Yuhan, I have a plan!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yuhan's deep eyes. He held Su Yunlan's hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer his strength to her.
Their eyes met, and without a word, they understood each other's feelings.
At this moment, their relationship became even stronger through adversity.
“However…” Su Yunlan’s brows furrowed slightly, her tone tinged with seriousness, “this treatment requires several special medicinal herbs…”
Su Yunlan's brows were furrowed, and the seriousness in her tone made everyone around her hold their breath.
"This treatment method is called 'Purifying Spirit Powder,' which can dispel the miasma inside the fruit tree. However, several of the medicinal herbs in the prescription are extremely rare, named 'Dragon Saliva Grass,' 'Phoenix Tail,' and 'Ice Heart Lotus,' which have harsh growing conditions and are extremely difficult to collect."
Upon hearing this, Chen Guonong's initial hope dimmed further. He stammered, "What... what should we do? Where are we going to find these precious medicinal herbs?"
Miss Sun, however, stood up with a determined look in her eyes: "Sister Su, I'm willing to help! I'm familiar with the surrounding mountains and forests, and maybe I can find these medicinal herbs." Her clear voice was full of courage and hope, like a ray of sunshine dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts.
Zhou, the peddler, said sarcastically from the side, "Hmph, how naive! These medicinal herbs are rare treasures that are hard to come by. Even if you find them, you might not be able to harvest them. Instead of wasting time on this useless effort, you might as well give up early and lose less money!" His sarcastic words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Miss Sun's enthusiasm.
"You!" Miss Sun's face flushed red with anger, her almond-shaped eyes wide as she glared at Zhou the peddler. "How dare you speak like that? Sister Su went to great lengths to save our orchard, how can we give up so easily!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Xiao Yuhan's eyes narrowed, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the surroundings, suppressing Zhou Xiaofan and making him dare not say another word.
Su Yunlan gently patted Miss Sun's shoulder, signaling her not to get angry.
She took a deep breath and said with a determined look, "Where there's a will, there's a way. How will we know if we don't try? Yuhan, Seventeen, let's split up and mobilize all available manpower to find these medicinal herbs as quickly as possible!"
Under Su Yunlan's leadership, everyone worked together and embarked on a difficult journey to find the medicine.
Xiao Yuhan led a group of people deep into the treacherous mountains and forests, while Xiao Shiqi was responsible for gathering information in the village. Miss Sun took advantage of her familiarity with the terrain and traversed the mountain paths.
A few days later, good news began to arrive one after another.
Miss Sun discovered the Dragon Saliva Grass on a cliff, Xiao Shiqi learned a clue about the Phoenix Tail from an old herbalist, and Xiao Yuhan found the Ice Heart Lotus in an icy pool deep in the mountains.
When all the medicinal herbs were gathered together, the crowd cheered with joy, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
Su Yunlan dared not delay and immediately began to carefully prepare "Purifying Spirit Powder" according to the records in the ancient book.
After the preparation was completed, Su Yunlan sprayed the liquid evenly onto each fruit tree.
The medicinal liquid emitted a faint, refreshing fragrance, as if it had infused the fruit trees with new life.
A few days later, a miracle happened!
The black spots on the fruit trees began to fade, new green buds emerged, and the previously withered branches and leaves regained their vitality.
The entire orchard was brimming with vitality, and the air was filled with a sweet aroma.
The fruit farmers were moved to tears. They surrounded Su Yunlan, cheering and thanking her for saving their orchards.
Su Yunlan also breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, Xiao Shiqi rushed over, his face grave, and said, "It's bad, Fourth Sister-in-law! News came from the fruit market that a new batch of fruit has suddenly appeared, with prices much lower than ours, and the quality is just as good. Our fruit... might not be able to sell!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yunlan frowned again. She looked at Xiao Yuhan.
"Let's go take a look," Xiao Yuhan said in a deep voice, taking Su Yunlan's hand and walking outside.
