Chapter: 5815

"Is that so?" Ye Chen was puzzled but looked closely and indeed found that the two spots he had pulled off the day before had now grown into two fresh leaves with dew drops.

Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This speed is incredible! I didn't even notice she was quietly growing new leaves!"

Lin Wan'er also expressed great surprise and said, "It's not unusual for a leaf to regrow after being picked, but it's rare for it to grow back this quickly. It seems that the mother tea tree has remarkable vitality."

He chuckled and said, "At this rate of recovery, even if we were to cut off all her leaves, she would still be able to recover in no time."

Lin Wan'er whispered, "Prince, please don't worry about her leaves for now. Let's just let her grow back naturally."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "Miss Lin, don't worry, I won't overdo it."

Lin Wan'er carefully lifted up the yellow soil surrounding the mother tea tree, excavating the tea roots along with the dirt wrapped around them.

After digging out the roots, she immediately used her mineral water to moisten the bundle of roots and soil. Then she said to Ye Chen, "Prince, let's hurry up and leave."

"Alright!" Ye Chen agreed, this time not carrying his camping gear, and together they brought the mother tea tree back to their parked location.

Once on board, Lin Wan'er wrapped the root part of the mother tea tree in a plastic bag and placed it carefully at her feet. She then said to Ye Chen, "Prince, you're all set."

Ye Chen was about to start the car when he suddenly saw an elderly man carrying a hoe walking out of the village.

As they came upon a parked off-road vehicle at the entrance to the village, the old man looked puzzled and kept staring at it for a long time.

At this moment, Ye Chen lowered his window and asked him, "Old sir, are you from around here? Did you hear any thunderstorm sounds last night?"

"What's that thunderstorm sound?" The old man said discontentedly, "Don't you meteorological department know if it rained or not? Do you need to come ask me?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "It's like this, grandpa. Last night we fired a rain cannon, and at the time, I indeed heard the thunder sound, so I came here in a hurry to ask about last night's weather condition, wondering if you didn't hear it?"

The old man waved his hand. "I didn't."

Ye Chen asked him, "Won't it be that you didn't hear it?"

The old man said discontentedly, "I woke up seven or eight times last night, and even my neighbor farting could wake me up, so I could not hear the thunder?"

He added, "I'm just hoping for a quick rain. It's been over a month without rain, and the water level at Tianchi has gone down significantly!"

Ye Chen nodded, then quickly said, "So we'll go back and report to our leader, seeing if we can arrange another round of artificial rainfall in time."

The old man no longer paid attention to him and walked away.

Ye Chen closed his car window and told Lin Wan'er beside him, "It seems that it was indeed an illusion. Maybe the illusion only affected you and me."

"It should be," Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, her brow still furrowed and never relaxed.

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er returned to Beijing without a hitch.

The plane took off at 8:30 am and landed in Jinling at exactly 11:00 am. JrNovels.com
