C1 (1/2)
As the sun rose, the bright morning glow illuminated the eastern horizon.
The morning breeze was gentle, and the honeysuckle covering the mountains was lightly swaying in the breeze. A faint fragrance wafted into the distance, one that could be smelt from a few miles away in a small town.
”The morning clouds don't go out. I bet the weather isn't too good today.” Bai Xiaobei who was holding a pair of scissors to cut a flower of gold and silver muttered as he raised his head to look at the scarlet morning glow in the east.
He had graduated from university half a year ago, but due to various complicated reasons, Bai Xiaobei did not stay in the provincial capital for nine days to six nights. Instead, he returned to his old mountain village to farm.
The family had contracted a small hill, and the most important cash crop was a tree of honeysuckle. Every morning, Bai Xiaobei would come to the mountain with his parents to take care of and pick the honeysuckle flowers. He would go back to his hometown after three to four hours and live quite comfortably.
This thousand Honeysuckle Tree had all lived for more than ten years, and their production was great, supporting the biggest source of income for their families.
”Xiaobei, put the fertilizer car over, it's going to change soon. I won't take it off today, hurry back home.” His father's voice came from the other side of the field.
”Alright, I understand. I'll be right there.”
Bai Xiaobei responded as he put down the scissors and kept the honeysuckle flowers in the bamboo basket. At the same time, a black cloud started to gather in the southeast sky. At the same time, a chilly wind started to blow, it was obvious that it was about to rain.
Bai Xiaobei anxiously ran over to the field and grabbed a tarpaulin, then suddenly stopped in front of a set of Honeysuckle Tree.
He discovered that one of the Honeysuckle Tree was showing signs of withering.
1217 honeysuckle flowers were the result of five or six years of hard work from his parents' care. Every single one of them was the lifeblood of his family. To die just like that was not a small loss.
The main stem of this honeysuckle was erect, with thick branches and a beautiful tree shape. Clearly, it was a top-grade honeysuckle that was being mowed down and bred to perfection. However, at this moment, it was weak and lifeless.
”What's the situation?”
Bai Xiaobei hurriedly stepped forward, and after checking for a while, he was still unable to find the reason. It was not lack of water, the honeysuckle itself was resistant to drought, and his family took care of it.
Shi Mu shook the main stem of the flower, causing dried leaves to rustle down. It made his heart ache for Shi Mu.
Obviously, the flower was dead. There was no hope for it.
Letting out a sigh, he turned around and prepared to leave. But just at this moment, a Blossom Spot Venom Snake jumped out from the leaves of a nearby Honeysuckle Tree and attacked directly at him.
By the time Bai Xiaobei reacted, it was already too late!
Venom Snake bit into his right index finger, sinking his venomous fangs deeply into his skin.
”I'm finished!”
Bai Xiaobei's mind went blank, he was immediately scared silly!
He could often hear the news of the grower being bitten to death by the Venom Snake, and his parents had also often warned him to be careful in the fields, but Bai Xiaobei had never thought that such a unfortunate thing would happen to him.
After a full four to five seconds, Bai Xiaobei finally reacted, he forcefully threw Venom Snake onto the ground, and angrily rushed forward. He shouted at me angrily, ”Grab whatever you want, and stomp it into meat paste!”
”What should I do? Am I going to die? ”What should we do?!”
Bai Xiaobei was so anxious that he was about to cry. Venom Venom Snake was extremely poisonous. If bitten, it wouldn't heal in time, and it would quickly be shocked, or even die.
”Right, right, hurry up and extract the poisonous blood to prevent it from spreading, then go wash …”
Calming down, Bai Xiaobei used his left hand to grip onto his bitten right index finger tightly. Blood flowed out, and at this moment, the emerald jade ring on his left hand suddenly glowed with a strong green light!
Seeing that, Bai Xiaobei's eyeballs almost popped out, he was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
In the middle of Sparta, a stream of mysterious information rushed into his mind like a passing lantern. ”Basic spell: Little Spirit Rain Spell …”
After a moment of dizziness, he finally woke up.
Bai Xiaobei's face was filled with strangeness, and he was both surprised and happy!
”Could it be that I've obtained some sort of extraordinary Immortal Inheritance?”
He looked at his hands and found that the wound caused by Venom Snake's bite was greedily absorbing the green light emitted by the jade ring. It was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In less than ten seconds, his finger had mysteriously returned to its normal state. There was no sign of a scratch on his finger. The green light on the ring had obviously consumed more than half of its energy and weakened.
”The venom has been resolved?”
”...”
”Xiaobei, why are you still standing there? Come over and help!”
His father, Bai Yu, had rushed over from the other side of the flower field when he saw that the fertilizer carriage was not properly covered.
”Alright!”
Bai Xiaobei restrained his excitement and replied quickly.
When Venom Snake had bitten him just now, he had thrown the tarpaulin onto the withered Honeysuckle Tree. As he was taking it, his hand had accidentally touched the withered branch.
The jade ring still had a glimmer of light remaining as it sank into the Honeysuckle Tree species. The branches of the originally withered and dead Honeysuckle Tree began to gradually turn green, and its withered leaves quickly withered away. However, there were still many green branches that were constantly being plucked from the branches …
The body of the Honeysuckle Tree was also continuously growing taller! Although it was slow, it was visible with the naked eye!
Bai Xiaobei was nearly numb to the chain of 'miracles'.
”Don't dilly-dally, it's raining heavily!” Mom shouted from not too far away.
Bai Xiaobei did not bother looking at the Honeysuckle Tree anymore, holding onto the oilcloth, he ran towards the fertilizer cart.
