Ch 245: Cutting Bamboo

The rest of the people all stood in place, completely unaware of what had happened, only seeing Big Spring’s face swollen high.

Because Bai Yi’s speed was simply too fast, the others didn’t even see clearly what happened!

Big Spring was momentarily stunned, hurriedly shouting to the people beside him: “What the hell are you looking at? Attack!”

One by one, seemingly skinny, malnourished youths approached Bai Yi.

Some even held screwdrivers, wrenches, and so on.

However, these people were far smarter than Big Spring; they didn’t charge directly, but instead watched each other, none daring to make the first move.

Slap—

“Holy crap! What was that?”

Slap—

“Whoa, what the…”

Slap—

Slap—

Bai Yi didn’t hold back, directly going in front of several people and slapping each of them several times.

These people usually bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now seeing such an overbearing person, they were all panicked.

At this moment, several bolder individuals directly grabbed their wrenches and charged over.

Bai Yi didn’t hold back, directly kicking away the wrench from his hand, and finally, Bai Yi used the top of his foot to make intimate contact with his face.

In an instant, the person was kicked away and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Damn! This kid’s trained!

After exchanging glances, they dropped their tools and quickly fled to their motorcycles.

Big Spring was no exception, directly picking up his motorcycle from the ground, getting on, and twisting the throttle.

After all, a good man doesn’t take unnecessary risks!

Unfortunately, the road might have been slippery, and Big Spring accidentally rode into a ditch.

Watching the fleeing people, Chu Tingting covered her mouth and laughed.

Now Bai Yi didn’t want to get entangled with these people, directly getting on his motorcycle and waving to Chu Tingting beside him.

Soon, the two disappeared from Big Spring’s sight.

By the time Bai Yi and Chu Tingting returned home, his parents had prepared a table of dishes.

But today’s main dishes were lotus leaf wrapped chicken and lotus leaf fried rice.

Because the rice was grown from their own rice paddies, the taste goes without saying; now, with the addition of the lotus leaf fragrance, it was even more irresistible.

And the lotus leaf wrapped chicken was even better; the fragrant lotus leaf permeated the chicken, and after taking a bite of the chicken, it was incredibly fragrant.

It was simply unbelievably delicious!

After dinner, Bai Yi sent Chu Tingting home, but to Bai Yi’s disappointment, Chu Tingting’s mother was home today.

This is really…

The next morning, Bai Yi went directly to the greenhouse on the mountain, watered the vegetables with spirit water, and then went to the lotus pond alone.

Seeing the lotus flowers blooming so luxuriantly in the pond, Bai Yi was full of anticipation for the lotus roots below.

Bai Yi took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his pants legs, and jumped directly into the lotus pond.

But everyone must not imitate Bai Yi and easily jump into the lotus pond, because the stems of the lotus grow intricately in the mud, and some places may be relatively deep. If your feet are entangled by the lotus stems, it’ll be troublesome.

But Bai Yi is different; after all, his body has been transformed by spiritual energy.

Bai Yi bent down and pulled out a lotus root from the mud.

Wow, the lotus root at this time was already half the thickness of an adult’s arm!

If this trend continues, I should be able to eat these lotus roots soon.

But now, to dig lotus roots, I still have to wait until these lotus flowers are finished blooming, after all, I have to wait until the lotus seeds above are fully mature before I can dig them.

After pulling out a few more casually, Bai Yi contentedly returned to the shore.

After coming ashore, Bai Yi put on his shoes and strolled around the mountain, heading home around noon.

But as Bai Yi passed the old village chief’s house, he was surprised to see the old village chief planting bamboo outside.

Bai Yi naturally knew the old village chief’s purpose; because the bamboo root system is well-developed, it can stabilize the soil. If he plants a circle of bamboo around his house, it will not only create a poetic and picturesque scene, but also prevent the soil in the yard from easily eroding.

Bai Yi immediately ran back home.

Thinking of that poetic and picturesque scene, Bai Yi set his sights on his own yard; he now wanted to plant a circle of bamboo around the yard wall.

However, transplanting bamboo is not that simple; the slightest carelessness will damage the root system.

But this is nothing to Bai Yi; after all, he can use spirit rain. Even if the transplanted bamboo has no root system, Bai Yi can use spirit rain to make it grow again.

Thinking of this, Bai Yi decided to plant a circle of bamboo outside the yard.

After discussing with his parents, they both agreed with their son’s idea.

However, there’s a troublesome matter; Bai Yi’s yard is not small! To really plant a circle of bamboo, the amount needed is not a small number!

Of course, this little thing certainly couldn’t stump Bai Yi.

After all, Bai Yi is now quite famous in the village. As long as he shouts loudly, countless people will come to help!

But it can only be when everyone is on their lunch break; after all, everyone else has to work in the village during other times.

And the source of the bamboo is of course the wild bamboo forest on the mountain, the same place where Bai Yi and Chu Tingting dug bamboo shoots a while ago.

When the village enterprise was on its lunch break, Bai Jianjun went to the village canteen to find people.

Of course, everyone saw that it was Bai Jianjun’s family who needed help, and they all scrambled to help.

Looking at the people coming to help, Bai Jianjun chuckled.

No way, who could blame his son for being popular!
