Seeing Mu Xiaowan’s gaze, Qi Yingxue gave her a sidelong glance, and then said indifferently, “It definitely won’t be a problem to sell it, but you weren’t thinking about this problem when you asked this question, right?”

“Uh, sis, don’t talk nonsense!”

Mu Xiaowan instantly blushed. Xu Ling and Wu Xiaolian, not understanding what was going on, both froze.

Yang Guang was also a little confused. He looked at her in shock. He didn’t know why this girl suddenly became so bashful?!

Qi Yingxue knew clearly. She smiled and said, “I’m just joking with you. What are you so worked up?!”

After laughing, she saw that it was getting late. She turned to Yang Guang and said, “it’s getting late. Although I don’t really want to leave, I really have a lot of things to do at home. I have to go back!”

“It’s enough for the subordinates to do the work. Why do you have to keep an eye on them? Just stay for another night!” Yang Guang said.

“The restaurant business is at a critical period now. I can’t just neglect it. We’ll talk about it when things are stable in the future!” Qi Yingxue said and stood up.

Seeing that he couldn’t keep them, Yang Guang had no choice but to give up, so he stood up to send them off.

Mu Xiaowan was about to leave, so everyone sent the two of them to the door.

Seeing them get into the car and leave, Yang Guang actually felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He turned around to look at Xu Ling and Wu Xiaolian. The two of them had the same expression, and they were a little reluctant to see them leave.

After eating their fill of cucumbers, everyone didn’t have lunch. After tidying up the house, they went back to their rooms to take their lunch breaks.

Yang Guang originally wanted to sit down and meditate, but he was so distracted that he couldn’t calm down at all. Therefore, he quietly left the house and went to the back mountain.

When he went into the cave, he saw that the Tianma had already sprouted. It was growing very well, so Yang Guang was relieved.

These days, the Tianma had been harvested, and the vegetable greenhouse was almost ready to produce. When the time came, he could make a huge profit.

However, this was still a drop in the bucket for Yang Guang. It wasn’t enough to do anything big.

Just the road construction alone was worth ten million. When would he be able to earn so much money by relying on the greenhouse and Tianma?

Yang Guang went to the entrance of the cave and found a flat rock to sit on. He fell into deep thought.

Obtaining the Method of Divine Farmer was a blessing from heaven. However, in reality, he hadn’t really used it a few times. Other than for treating people, he hadn’t used it for anything else!

The knowledge contained in the Method of Divine Farmer was all-encompassing. Just treating people wasn’t enough.

If he wanted to make use of it, he had to start with animals and plants.

Just as Yang Guang was thinking about the future, the sound of a gong suddenly came from the village. It was loud, especially clear in the middle of summer afternoon.

After standing up, Yang Guang heard someone shouting in the village. He quickly left the cave entrance and went home.

As soon as he reached the village entrance, he saw people coming out from every household. The person who was knocking on the gong was Sun Wannian, who was tending the sheep.

Yang Guang quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Sun, what are you shouting for?”

“The mountain is on fire!”

Sun Wannian’s expression was ashen, and his clothes were tattered.

Hearing his words, everyone in the village turned around. Only then did they realize that there was a valley in the west where black smoke was rising.

It was summer now, and the vegetation in the mountain was at its peak. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a fire. Therefore, everyone felt that it was strange and didn’t know what had happened.

At this time, Xu Ling also came out of her house. When she approached to ask about the situation, her expression changed.

Then, she looked at Yang Guang and asked, “What should we do?”

“There’s no other choice. The village is filled with the elderly, women, and children. It’s more dangerous to enter the mountain to put out the fire. We might as well wait for the forest fire to come!” Yang Guang said.

“But, but my sheep are still in the mountains. I’m afraid they’ve all been burned to death!” Sun Wannian said.

Hearing this, Yang Guang, who had originally thought nothing of it, felt his heart sink!

Mr. Sun’s family had raised more than thirty sheep. These sheep were his lifeline. If they were all burned to death, the losses would be quite heavy.

Yang Guang was kind-hearted, so hearing this, he could only say, “Then how about this, Mr. Sun, I’ll go into the mountains with you. We’ll see if the sheep are surrounded by fire. If they’re really surrounded by fire, there’s nothing we can do. If there’s still a chance, I’ll help you drive the sheep out!”

“Alright then.”

Sun Wannian initially wanted to return to the village to ask for help, but when Yang Guang said it just now, he understood. Indeed, the village was full of women and children. If they were asked to put out the fire, wouldn’t that be the same as sending them to death? If anyone was burned to death.., he wouldn’t be able to afford the consequences!

Now that he heard Yang Guang say that he would help him, Sun Wannian immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Hope was rekindled in his heart.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Xu Ling immediately said, “I’ll go too!”

“You don’t have to go. Stay in the village and wait for the fire-fighting team!” Yang Guang said.

“No, that area is under the jurisdiction of Qingshan Village. I have the responsibility to put out the fire!”

Xu Ling’s expression was serious, as if it was useless to say anything.

Yang Guang was helpless. He sighed and said, “It’s okay to go, but you can’t run around. You have to follow me!”

“Okay.”

Xu Ling nodded and agreed.

The villagers urged the three of them to be careful, and then watched them enter the mountain.

The villagers weren’t very sharp, nor were there people who had courage like Xu Ling, so only the three of them entered the mountain.

They jogged all the way into the mountain. Yang Guang and Sun Wannian were fine, but Xu Ling was a girl after all, so after running less than a kilometer, she was a little out of breath.

But in order not to drag the two of them down, she continued to follow behind and didn’t slow down her pace.

After entering the deep mountains and crossing the savage ditch, they saw that the fire field wasn’t far ahead in the col.

At this time, the fire had already started. Black smoke soared into the sky, and from afar, one could already smell the smell of firewood burning.

Yang Guang secretly marveled in his heart. To be able to light green trees and weeds, what kind of fire was this?

As they moved forward, he turned around and glanced at Xu Ling. He noticed that her face was flushed and she was panting. Yang Guang stretched out his hand and said, “I’ll hold your hand!”

“Okay!”

Xu Ling didn’t say anything and stretched out her hand.

Holding her soft little hand in his palm, Yang Guang continued to walk quickly into the mountain.

At this moment, the most anxious person was Sun Wannian. Because he had been herding sheep in the mountain all year round, in the forest, it was as if he was walking on flat ground as he rushed to the front.

The three of them soon arrived at the burning ravine. From afar, they saw the flames flickering in the forest. The smoke lingered and enveloped the entire forest.

“Mr. Sun, where are your sheep?” Yang Guang asked.

“I don’t know either. When I was herding the sheep, I suddenly saw a flame. I was so scared that I turned around and ran. I didn’t see where the sheep went after that!” Sun Wannian said.

Yang Guang was speechless. He forced a smile and said, “Then we can only count on luck in that case.”

However, just as he finished speaking, a bleating sound came from the forest far away!

“My sheep!”

When Sun Wannian heard it, he shouted and rushed over!

“Hey, don’t be anxious. Be careful of being surrounded by the fire!”

Yang Guang shouted.. Seeing that he didn’t listen, he could only stomp his feet and let go of Xu Ling’s hand to chase after Sun Wannian!
