728 Strange Fruit
Just as Han Shi was eating, a light bulb floated over. Han Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. When the light bulb got closer, he finally saw what it was.
“You’re still eating? Something happened to your wife!”
Before Han Shi could speak, he heard Jiu Yuan’s voice coming from afar. His expression changed drastically as he stood up. The porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the food scattered all over the ground.
The surrounding workers were shocked and quickly stood up. “Boss, what happened?”
“Don’t be anxious. Her life is not in danger. She just ate something bad and is not conscious. She’s in the orchard now.” Seeing Han Shi’s face instantly turn pale and gloomy, Jiu Yuan quickly explained.
Han Shi swallowed his saliva and suppressed the anxiety in his eyes. He said to the construction worker beside him, “I’ll go out for a while. I don’t know when I’ll be back. Be careful when you work.”
“Oh, okay, boss.”
Han Shi took the car key and quickly ran to the parking lot. Not long after, a car with lights on rushed out.
Han Shi asked with a dark expression, “Tell me what happened.”
With his understanding of Qin Xi, it was impossible for her to eat something she shouldn’t unless that thing was absolutely attractive to her.
Jiu Yuan told him the whole story. Han Shi glared at him. “Why didn’t you stop her?”
Jiu Yuan felt especially aggrieved. “I tried, but she didn’t listen. After eating it, she looked very abnormal. Then, she took bite after bite. After eating it, she sat cross-legged.”
Han Shi was silent for a moment before saying, “That fruit must be very helpful to Xi. Or rather, it’s a fruit to increase her strength. There are two reasons why she can’t wake up. The first is that she hasn’t completely digested it and is immersed in her own world. The second is that something went wrong during her cultivation and she can’t wake up.”
If it was the second scenario, it would be troublesome.
After all, they did not know what fruit it was or what the effect was.
The car sped past like lightning on the way back to Shangwan Village.
The 25-minute journey was shortened to ten.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, leaving only a few stars hanging in the night sky. The weak moonlight shone on this village path.
Han Shi got out of the car and ran towards the orchard.
Soon, he came to Qin Xi’s side. At this moment, Qin Xi was drenched in sweat. The temperature on her body was above 40 degrees Celsius. If this continued, she would probably die.
Han Shi quickly picked her up and wanted to run towards the water. However, after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and looked up at another strange fruit hanging on the tree alone.
He retreated and reached out to pick the red fruit. In the end, like Qin Xi, he encountered a membrane.
Han Shi frowned. “What’s going on? How did Xi get it?”
Jiu Yuan recalled and said, “At first, she couldn’t get it like you, but later on, she seemed to have thought of a way and easily took it off.”
Han Shi was silent for a moment before suddenly thinking of a possibility.
He gathered the True Qi in his palm and reached out to pick the fruit.
However, the membrane did not disappear and still prevented him from touching it. However, he clearly felt that the membrane was loosening.
He was delighted. True Qi continued to gather in his palm and tore through the membrane. When his fingers touched the red fruit, he immediately held it in his hand and turned to leave with Qin Xi in his arms.
