Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Wrong Voice

After receiving the call, Chen Dashan told Li Jiao to inform Peng Hu that something was wrong with his orchard.

He told her to reassure Peng Hu about the agreed matter.

Along the way, Chen Dashan sped in his van towards Stone Village, and after arriving, he went straight to the orchard office.

"Ah... Ah, Brother Dashan..."

Someone was calling him?

Chen Dashan paused mid-step, that voice sounded strange!

Chen Dashan slightly frowned, lightening his steps by a few degrees, what if Zhang Xuewen was in trouble?

Thinking this, Chen Dashan hurriedly pushed open the office door.

With a loud "bang," Zhang Xuewen was startled and quickly sat up, frantically adjusting her clothes. Unsure whether the person had seen anything, she turned red and turned her head to see Chen Dashan standing at the door with a stunned expression.

"I... I..."

Zhang Xuewen hurriedly fumbled, unsure whether to button up her top or straighten her skirt first.

As soon as he came in, Chen Dashan had already seen it. Zhang Xuewen was squeezing her papayas with one hand, while her other hand was moving under her skirt, her body slumped in the chair like a puddle of soft mud, her little mouth slightly open, constantly calling his name.

The scene was indeed enough to make one nosebleed, seeing Zhang Xuewen’s little face blushing, with beads of sweat on her forehead, and her eyes flickering.

Chen Dashan knew she was embarrassed.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Chen Dashan quickly turned his head, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.

Rustling sounds followed, Zhang Xuewen quickly straightened her clothes, looked at Chen Dashan’s back, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Brother Dashan, the reason I called you back is because someone poisoned the fruit trees. I found several trees that were almost dead, the leaves are all withered."

"Poisoned?"

Chen Dashan’s eyebrows furrowed, surprised by the news.

Stone Village had never heard of anyone poisoning fruit trees, could it be someone was jealous of his money-making and couldn’t stand it so they poisoned the trees?

Thinking about this, Chen Dashan said: "Take me to have a look."

Under the scorching midday sun, Zhang Xuewen led Chen Dashan deep into the orchard. One after the other, Zhang Xuewen’s skin was tender, and under the midday sun, her little face was red. She shaded her eyes with her hand, turned and said to Chen Dashan: "It’s these few trees over here."

Following the direction of Zhang Xuewen’s finger, several fruit trees had yellowing leaves, and the fruits were scattered on the ground, looking like they were dying.

"I’ve already checked, only these few trees are like this, the rest are fine."

Zhang Xuewen frowned as she spoke, Chen Dashan stepped forward a few paces, squatted down to inspect, and pinched the soil under the fruit trees. A pungent smell went straight to his head.

Watching Chen Dashan’s actions, Zhang Xuewen said: "It’s Paraquat, poured directly at the roots, and quite a lot, I estimate a full bottle."

A full bottle of pesticide for one tree?

In the entire Stone Village, who else could be so extravagant?

Chen Dashan’s face was grim, and a sleazy smile of Li Xiaobao flashed in his mind. If it wasn’t by accident, only Li Xiaobao would dare to do this.

Zhang Xuewen squatted beside Chen Dashan and said: "I don’t know who it was, I think we should install surveillance in the orchard, it could deter them. If they dare come next time, we’ll have evidence."

"If he comes every day, our orchard’s fruit trees won’t stand a chance. If it gets too bad, we can call the police!"

The more Zhang Xuewen spoke, the angrier she got, gritting her teeth with a cracking sound.

Chen Dashan said coldly: "Even if the orchard is big, installing surveillance now wouldn’t catch the person."

Chen Dashan looked at the footprints under the book, and a plan formed in his mind.

He stood up, patted his hands, and said to Zhang Xuewen: "Don’t worry about this, I have a plan."

Zhang Xuewen nodded and looked at the side of Chen Dashan’s face, wanting to say something but hesitating.

At this moment, Chen Dashan already had a plan in mind, the soft mud under the fruit trees had footprints, following the footprints, he discovered that the bastard who poisoned them last night had climbed over the perimeter wire fence of the orchard.

The orchard was crowded with people during the day, so the poisoner couldn’t have come during the daytime, the nerve would not be that bold.

If it was at night, thinking this, Chen Dashan’s mouth curled up into a cold smile.

...

On summer nights, there were plenty of mosquitoes, insects, and rodents.

By the creek, there were the croaks of frogs and the chirping of crickets, with a sparse array of stars, it was the perfect time for murder and arson.

Li Xiaobao carried a weak flashlight, shining it here and there, holding a big bucket of water, wobbling along.

"My goodness, I’m exhausted!"

Li Xiaobao placed the bucket on the ground, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looked around, the night was pitch black, and all was silent.

Li Xiaobao’s lips curled with a hint of cruelty: "That bastard Chen Dashan, making some stinking money and thinking he’s somebody, with the village men, women, and children fawning over him. Even Widow Sun fights to sleep with him."

"How shameless, if I can’t poison you, I’ll poison your cash cows, let’s see how you show off then!"

Li Xiaobao cursed, seeing no one around, he quickly picked up the bucket, bent down, and carefully walked under the fruit tree. Opening the bucket lid, the pungent smell hit straight to his brain, causing him to turn his head away with a look of disgust: "Yuck!"

"It’s really awful, typical of poison, one more whiff and I’ll be dead!"

After finishing, Li Xiaobao took out a prepared ladle, ready to feed the trees with poison.

"Li Xiaobao!!"

A loud shout came, and Li Xiaobao was startled, spilling a ladle of pesticide onto his shoe, the liquid running down his sandal, soaking his toes.

Stinging pain followed, Li Xiaobao grabbed his left foot, hopping in place, cursing: "Who, who the hell is pretending to be a ghost to scare me!"

"Come out, and see if I don’t kill you!"

"Ouch... pain pain pain..."

Li Xiaobao’s face twisted in pain, looking up to see a tall figure emerging from the darkness. Li Xiaobao’s eyes widened, recognizing the person, his face changed instantly, even feeling his neck shrink into his pants.

Chen Dashan said with a grim face: "Li Xiaobao, what are you doing in my orchard so late at night?"

"I... I, I..."

Li Xiaobao stiffened with fear, watching Chen Dashan’s muscular frame, his legs trembling.

Seeing Chen Dashan advancing step by step, Li Xiaobao kept retreating, his forehead drenched with cold sweat, blurting out: "I came to help you fertilize!"

"Yes, I came to help you fertilize."

Afraid that Chen Dashan wouldn’t believe him, Li Xiaobao added another sentence. After speaking, he felt slightly relieved, admiring his own quick wit.

"Fertilize?"

Chen Dashan sneered, even a fool wouldn’t believe that.

Chen Dashan’s eyes shifted to the white plastic bucket in Li Xiaobao’s hand. Feeling Chen Dashan’s gaze, Li Xiaobao sheepishly hid the pesticide bucket behind him.

"What is this?"
