Then, Zhao Yi said to Mr. Tian, "You'll have to work hard tonight. Start planning the layout of the herbal field here in the Peach Forest, but don't go too deep, just stay at the outskirts."
Mr. Tian: "Alright, young master."
Zhao Yi looked at Tan Wenbin: "What time are you setting off tomorrow?"
Tan Wenbin: "In the morning."
Zhao Yi: "Change it to the afternoon. We need your help in the morning to clear the land. The start is the hardest part, after which Old Tian can manage it by himself."
Tan Wenbin: "No problem."
After all, the Lu Family isn't going anywhere, and starting the herbal garden sooner means everyone can enjoy high-quality herbal supplies sooner.
Zhao Yi: "By the way, does anyone in your team understand herbs and medicine?"
Tan Wenbin instinctively looked at Old Tian.
Zhao Yi: "Dream on, Old Tian is my slave in name only; in reality, he's my grandfather."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Old Tian's eyes moistened. He quickly turned his head to avoid letting tears drop into the herbal seed bag, fearing it would spoil the seed quality.
Zhao Yi: "Unless the Li family helps me perfect five sets of cultivation techniques."
Old Tian took a deep breath, drawing back his tears, and sighed softly.
Tan Wenbin: "We'll discuss that later."
Zhao Yi frowned slightly: "Why aren't you worried at all? Doesn't your team have anyone who understands medicine? Are you relying on Yin Meng?"
Tan Wenbin quickly shook his head: "How could we dare to do that."
At first, when Yin Meng and Run Sheng were training together, Aunt Liu intended for Yin Meng to master medical skills and toxicology, focusing on the former with the latter as a supplement.
After all, a skilled physician benefits the entire team noticeably.
But as Yin Meng studied, the focus shifted to toxicology, and her medical skill became almost nonexistent.
She could even make poison that scares even the deadman when cooking, so who knows what she'd concoct if she were to brew medicine.
If Yin Meng were truly responsible for this new herbal field, it might be filled with centipedes and poisonous insects when they return, instead of spirit herbs.
Zhao Yi: "Then why?"
Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiao Yuan has recently been reading health, medical, and herbal classics."
Zhao Yi: "I'm not worried about the Li family's learning ability; even if he studies in a rush, he could still grasp Buddhism. But is the Li family really willing to spend the time and effort on this personally?"
Tan Wenbin: "Miss Qin is also studying."
"Miss Qin?" Zhao Yi asked, "Aren't you guys too distant? I see her and the Li family sticking together all the time and no one stops them, isn't that an implicit approval?"
"When I mention her in front of you, I have to be formal to avoid misunderstandings."
"Haha."
"Since we have work to do tomorrow, I'll get everyone up now. Let's start working on the herbal field. After we're done, we can have a nap and then set off."
"Alright."
"Then I'll go gather the team."
"There's one more thing."
"Go ahead, young master Zhao."
"After much consideration, I've decided to take you along to eliminate the Lu Family."
Upon hearing this, Tan Wenbin frowned slightly.
Zhao Yi continued, "This way, we can be more efficient, and the Li family can be more at ease at home, right?"
Tan Wenbin laughed, "It seems young master Zhao has found something valuable in the Peach Forest."
Zhao Yi: "Indeed, I now want to sneak out and enjoy it in secret. Will you tell the Li family?"
Tan Wenbin: "How could I not?"
Zhao Yi: "Suit yourself."
After Tan Wenbin left, Zhao Yi picked up the wine on the altar, poured himself a bowl, and facing the Peach Forest, said,
"Here, I toast you with a bowl."
After drinking it, he put down the bowl.
Mr. Tian wheeled himself over, happily asking, "Young master, did you really obtain an opportunity?"
Zhao Yi nodded:
"Yes, a tremendous opportunity."
...
Tan Wenbin returned to Li Sanjiang's house, entered the living room, and knocked on each of the coffins.
Soon, the sounds of coffin lids opening filled the room.
Yin Meng: "What?"
Tan Wenbin: "Get up, it's time to farm."
Yin Meng: "Getting more outrageous, calling people out of coffins at night to farm."
Complaints aside, everyone knew Tan Wenbin wasn't a frivolous person, so soon, everyone was ready.
Tan Wenbin went up to the second floor and opened Brother Xiao Yuan's room door.
"Brother Binbin?"
"Brother Xiao Yuan, Zhao Yi found some benefits in the Peach Forest."
"Got it."
After reporting, Tan Wenbin went downstairs and led the team out.
At this moment, the west room's door opened, and Chen Lin stood at the entrance in pajamas, watching Lin Shuyou carrying farming tools as he headed out.
Chen Lin: "I can help if needed."
Lin Shuyou: "You should stay and keep Yunyun company."
Chen Lin: "Alright, take care not to overexert yourself."
After Chen Lin closed the door and returned inside, Yin Meng said somewhat resignedly:
"I really can't mimic that tone, but it seems like men really like it."
Previously, Yin Meng preferred wearing a simple white tank top while working, but now because of Chen Lin, she dressed a bit more formally, not wanting to compete, yet also not wanting to be outshone.
Tan Wenbin: "Weren't you even gentler when you added rice to Mr. Shan's household?"
Yin Meng: "Was I?"
Run Sheng: "You were."
The group arrived at Big Beard's house, and under Mr. Tian's plan, they began clearing the field.
The Peach Forest was very quiet, silently acknowledging this action.
They worked tirelessly until noon the next day.
Their efficiency was actually quite high, but preparing a herbal field was meticulous work, akin to setting up an array.
When they returned, it was already mealtime. Li Sanjiang sat there waiting to eat, watching the group return dusty and muddy, he couldn't help but ask:
"What happened? Did you all go grave digging last night?"
Tan Wenbin diverted the topic, saying to Li Sanjiang: "Mr. Li, there's been a sudden notice; we need to go back to school to handle some paperwork. We'll leave after lunch."
