Chapter 141 Fallen Fruit Saves the Day
Fallen fruit saves the day
Su Yunlan looked up and met Xiao Yuhan's deep gaze, and the unease in her heart subsided slightly.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Let's go take a look."
The two walked quickly into the depths of the orchard, and an uneasy atmosphere spread like a tide.
The once bustling orchard was now eerily silent. The fruit farmers gathered together, their expressions grave as they gazed at the scattered fruit on the ground.
The air was filled with the aroma of fruit, but this fragrance was mixed with a disturbing smell of decay.
Su Yunlan bent down and picked up a fallen fruit. Brown spots had already appeared on the unripe peel. When she gently squeezed it, sticky juice flowed out.
Her heart sank; this was no ordinary fallen fruit!
"What's going on?" Xiao Yuhan asked in a deep voice, looking around with a sharp gaze like that of a hawk.
A fruit farmer stepped forward tremblingly, his voice shaking, and said, "Fourth Master, we don't know either! The fruit was fine this morning, but now it's starting to fall off, and more and more of it is falling..."
"Yes, Fourth Master, what are we going to do? The harvest is just around the corner..." another fruit farmer said with a mournful face.
Chen Guonong's face was extremely pale. His eyes, which had regained their luster, dimmed again, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He slumped to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over..." His orchard, which he had worked so hard to build, was about to regain its former glory, but it suffered such a blow at this crucial moment. How could he bear it?
His lovely daughter, Miss Sun, had tears streaming down her face, which had been full of hope. She hugged her father tightly and cried silently.
Researcher Zhao carefully examined the fallen fruit and the fruit trees, adjusted his glasses, and said in a serious tone, "The preliminary judgment is that it is caused by an imbalance in the fruit trees' nutrition. Fruits need a lot of nutrients in the later stages of development, and if the supply is insufficient, fruit drop will occur."
Upon hearing this, Chen, the fruit farmer, covered his face in anguish. "But where are we going to get the money to buy fertilizer? We've already spent all our savings trying to improve the fruit trees..."
Su Yunlan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She absolutely could not stand by and watch the orchard fall into ruin again!
She turned to look at Xiao Yuhan, her gaze resolute, "Yuhan, we definitely have a way."
Xiao Yuhan held her hand, offering her silent support.
Su Yunlan took a deep breath. "Seventeen, you stay here and calm everyone down. Fourth Master and I will be right back." After saying that, she took Xiao Yuhan's hand and turned to walk out of the orchard.
"Yunlan, where are you going?" Xiao Yuhan asked softly.
Su Yunlan smiled mysteriously, “Let’s go somewhere that can solve the problem.”
Su Yunlan pulled Xiao Yuhan along at a brisk pace until they were far away from the orchard. After confirming that no one was around, she slipped into her spatial dimension.
Xiao Yuhan watched as her figure vanished into thin air.
After entering the space, Su Yunlan immediately went to the warehouse area.
The dazzling array of supplies piled up like mountains made her momentarily overwhelmed.
She quickly scanned the labels on the shelves and finally found what she wanted in a corner—a special nutrient called "Fountain of Life".
This nutrient solution was developed by her during the apocalypse. It can quickly replenish the various nutrients needed by plants, promote growth, and even bring them back to life.
She carefully took out several bottles of nutrient solution, found a clean container, and diluted the nutrient solution according to a certain ratio.
After doing all this, she flashed back to the real world.
Xiao Yuhan had been silently waiting in place, and when she returned,
"Found it?" he asked softly.
Su Yunlan nodded and handed him the container. "This is a special nutrient solution I prepared. It can quickly replenish the nutrients needed by the fruit trees and should solve the problem of fruit drop."
Xiao Yuhan took the container without asking any questions, knowing that Su Yunlan must have her reasons.
The two returned to the orchard and carefully sprayed the nutrient solution onto each fruit tree.
A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, carrying a hint of fresh herbal scent.
As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the orchard in a golden light, gilding everything.
Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan stood under the fruit tree, quietly observing the changes in it.
The once withered branches and leaves gradually regained their vitality, the unripe fruits became plump, and the putrid smell in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by a rich fruity aroma.
"It seems it worked." Su Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on her face.
Seeing her relieved expression, Xiao Yuhan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
He gently pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yunlan, you're amazing."
Su Yunlan leaned against him, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness and a sense of security.
She looked up, met his deep gaze, and said softly, "Yuhan, thank you for always believing in me."
Xiao Yuhan held her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling her soft hair. His deep voice was slightly hoarse, "Silly girl, there's no need for thanks between us."
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan strolled hand in hand through the orchard.
The moonlight shone on them, casting long, long shadows.
“Yuhan,” Su Yunlan suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, “You said…”
"Hmm?" Xiao Yuhan looked at her gently, waiting for her to continue.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, the orchard presented a vibrant scene.
Tender green buds sprouted from the once bare branches, and the precarious fruits became plump and firm.
The fruit drop miraculously stopped!
The fruit farmers excitedly spread the news, and cheers echoed throughout the valley.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Guonong wept tears of joy. His hands trembled as he stroked the fruit trees, as if he were caressing his own children.
Miss Sun stopped crying and smiled. She ran to Su Yunlan and hugged her tightly. "Sister Su, thank you! Thank you so much!"
After several days of careful care, the fruit trees have fully recovered.
Plump, round fruits hang from the branches, emitting an enticing aroma.
The ripe fruit bent the branches, like golden bells, swaying gracefully in the breeze.
The fruit farmers were busy picking the fruit, their faces beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
Young Master Xiao also rolled up his sleeves and humbly asked the fruit farmers for picking techniques, keeping himself very busy.
Even the usually arrogant researcher Zhao humbled himself and took the initiative to help the fruit farmers select high-quality fruits. He became even more convinced of Su Yunlan's improvement plan.
The fruit from the orchard was enthusiastically received by the market as soon as it hit the market. Thanks to its excellent quality and unique taste, it quickly became in short supply.
Merchants from all over flocked to the area, vying to buy the products.
The orchard's profits grew rapidly, snowballing its status as a truly high-quality fruit supplier in the area.
Standing in a thriving orchard, Su Yunlan felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
The fruit farmers surrounded her, expressing their gratitude, and calls of "Miracle Doctor Su" and "Boss Su" echoed throughout the room.
Xiao Yuhan stood outside the crowd, his deep eyes filled with pride and arrogance.
He knew that his wife was not only a highly skilled doctor, but also had a kind heart.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest, a slightly hunched figure squeezed in. He handed Su Yunlan a letter. There was no signature on the envelope, only a few words written in delicate handwriting: "To Su Yunlan."
Su Yunlan took the letter, thanked him, and eagerly opened the envelope.
Unfolding the letter, a few lines of delicate handwriting came into view, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Yuhan, look..." Su Yunlan's voice trembled slightly as she handed the letter to Xiao Yuhan, her gaze fixed on him as if seeking some kind of support...
