Wang Hao endured the pain and ran down the mountain with Su Zhenping.
"Told you to run faster, but you just stood there like an idiot. Serves you right for getting bitten!"
Back at the Su Family Mountain Goods Store, Su Zhenping said with a touch of schadenfreude.
Wang Hao touched his bitten buttocks and gave Su Zhenping a disdainful glance.
This damn old man just cared about himself and ran without giving any warning.
Su Zhenping knew well that Wang Hao was immune to all poisons, which is why he teased him on purpose.
But what he didn’t know was that Wang Hao hadn’t consud any Blood Ganoderma. The centipede poison was neutralized solely by the energy from his dragon tattoo, and each usage required ti to recover.
Wang Hao was counting on the dragon tattoo energy to plant more rare dicinal herbs. This ti, to neutralize the centipede poison on his buttocks, he had consud a significant amount.
However, Wang Hao also felt that every ti he encountered danger, the dragon tattoo energy would automatically help him resolve it and seed to grow stronger after each struggle, much like a child growing up step by step.
"It’s already past midnight. You should go back and rest. There’s work to do tomorrow."
Su Zhenping was aware that it was a critical ti for Wang Hao with the construction of the greenhouse, and that he needed to oversee everything.
So, he put the red giant centipede into a snakeskin bag and handed it to Wang Hao.
"I heard your soil analysis results are out, so you should know what can be planted now. You can get cracking!"
"Yes, I haven’t had ti to look at the details. I’ll go ask Xia Xue later what’s suitable for planting here, and then speed up the installation of the equipnt tomorrow."
Thinking about the forthcoming effort, Wang Hao felt extrely thrilled.
"All right, let know if you need help. And, when you switch to centipede farming, tell first, okay?"
Su Zhenping finished speaking before handing the bag to Wang Hao.
Even if Su Zhenping didn’t ntion it, Wang Hao would have consulted with him at the first opportunity.
In the whole Chen Village, Su Zhenping was the one who knew most about Blood Ganoderma and red giant centipedes. Besides, they were partners now. They should trust each other and aim for a win-win cooperation.
When he got ho, Wang Hao saw that the light was still on in Xia Xue’s room.
"Silly girl, she must still be analyzing that report."
Wang Hao checked the ti. It was already half past one in the morning, and Xia Xue had not slept yet.
He knocked on Xia Xue’s door and saw that she wasn’t just awake; she hadn’t even changed her clothes.
The desk was piled with soil samples and their corresponding analysis reports.
"Why haven’t you gone to bed?" Wang Hao asked with concern as he looked at the reports on the desk.
With a serious expression, Xia Xue didn’t answer but handed the reports one by one to Wang Hao.
The three reports basically indicated that the soil in the field was suitable for planting corn and so herbs, but didn’t suggest it was fit for any vegetables.
After reading them, Wang Hao couldn’t help but be taken aback.
"Looks like our plans need to change."
"The soil samples sent for testing show that it’s basically alkaline, only suitable for planting so plants that thrive in alkaline soil," Xia Xue proposed cautiously, trying to protect Wang Hao’s morale.
After studying the reports in detail, Xia Xue understood why the rice yields were low; the villagers only cultivated these fields to feed themselves, suggesting they might have been using the land incorrectly and planting the wrong crops.
"Wang Hao, we might need to skip the first phase and go directly to the second phase, planting dicinal herbs. What do you think?"
Wang Hao stared at the reports in a daze, while Xia Xue spoke softly, fearing to crush his confidence.
They had previously thought about growing vegetables first, which take less ti, to earn so quick profits and get a handle on greenhouse planting before moving on to dicinal herbs.
Now it turned out the soil wasn’t suitable for vegetables at all. However, growing dicinal herbs wasn’t easy either—with longer cycles, higher equipnt demands, and increased costs.
Moreover, and most importantly, this type of soil wasn’t fit for all kinds of dicinal herbs; it limited the range of possible crops.
Although this was the reality, Wang Hao was far from worried. He already had a new plan in mind, and what filled his thoughts now was how much Xia Xue was considering for him, which made him even more concerned for her.
"Wang Hao, maybe we should..."
Xia Xue still worried for Wang Hao, unsure of how to comfort him but silently keeping him company.
Seeing Xia Xue’s anxious expression, Wang Hao couldn’t help but hold her tightly.
"Xia Xue, thank you! Don’t worry, I’ve got a new plan. I promise you a good life ahead," he said and gently kissed Xia Xue, caressing her tempting lips with his hand.
"Mmm~"
Caught off guard by Wang Hao’s sudden move, Xia Xue was a bit shocked, but quickly adapted and began to relax.
As Wang Hao’s mouth and tongue made their advances, Xia Xue responded enthusiastically. A long hiatus had set them on fire, igniting passion instantly.
"Clatter~"
Clothes fell to the floor, and Xia Xue’s figure was extraordinarily enchanting in the moonlight.
"Ah~"
Feeling Wang Hao’s sudden movent, Xia Xue couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, her face blushing furiously, but her eyes filled with anticipation.
Wang Hao said nothing and directly leaned down to take Xia Xue’s plump and round earlobe into his mouth.
Xia Xue’s body trembled, feeling an indescribable ticklish numbness, as well as a sense of excitent and agitation.
Then, she cooperated with Wang Hao’s actions, slowly extending her arms to wrap around his neck and leaning her head into Wang Hao’s chest.
Wang Hao took a sharp breath and pulled hard, imdiately followed by Xia Xue’s pained groan.
"Ah~ it hurts~"
Xia Xue cried out in pain, her entire body stiffening there, as the pain nearly choked her.
Seeing Xia Xue’s discomfort, Wang Hao had her lie on his thigh.
"How is it? Can you continue?"
Wang Hao asked gently.
Upon hearing Wang Hao’s words, Xia Xue bit through the pain, shook her head, and pressed her face against Wang Hao’s chest, closing her eyes: "I’m scared~"
"Alright, I’ll massage you for a while, it will stop hurting soon."
Wang Hao said comforting her, then started to gently knead Xia Xue’s body, with just the right amount of pressure, making every press provide a wonderfully relaxed feeling to Xia Xue.
"Mmm~"
Xia Xue couldn’t help but hum, feeling warm all over and greatly enjoying the sensation.
"Xia Xue, you’re so beautiful."
Wang Hao said softly, his gaze filled with deep affection; Xia Xue’s figure was simply too stunning.
Xia Xue’s face turned crimson red, but she quickly regained her composure, standing up from Wang Hao’s thighs.
"Let’s stop, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Xia Xue, still reluctant, suggested rest, considering they had work to do the next day.
"Xia Xue, can I hold you while we sleep tonight?"
Wang Hao wrapped his arms around Xia Xue’s slender waist and pressed his face against her soft skin, feeling her warm body fragrance.
"Hmm!"
Xia Xue answered softly and lay down, allowing Wang Hao to embrace her.
The next day, Xia Xue got up early to lead the villagers to set up the greenhouse equipnt, while Wang Hao went to Su Zhenping’s house again to give him the list of herbs suitable for planting from yesterday’s lab report.
"These are all very common herbs."
After reading the list, Su Zhenping said with a frown.
"Can we still find these herbs in the mountains behind us?"
Wang Hao asked anxiously.
Su Zhenping recovered his senses, realizing Wang Hao must be planning to gather herbs from the mountain to plant them.
The herbs were seasonal; if they were transplanted to the greenhouse, there would be a year-round supply, which was a good thing.
Besides, gathering them from the mountain would save costs; it was a surefire profitable venture.
Indeed, Wang Hao was thinking along the sa lines; as the weather got cooler and the mountain herbs died off from the frost, he could sell the ones from the greenhouse – certainly a steady profit.
"Yes, I’ll get ready and go gather them right away."
Su Zhenping noted the list and went back inside to prepare the tools for the mountain.
"Dad, Shi Han also wants to go to the mountain to see."
At that mont, Su Lin ca out from the inner room, followed by a wan Qi Shihan.
Su Zhenping didn’t speak, only glancing at Wang Hao.
Seeing Qi Shihan’s condition filled Wang Hao with compassion; since she was willing to go outside, it was a good sign. Moreover, with Su Zhenping and his daughter there, he felt reassured, so he agreed.
The four of them went up the mountain together and arrived at a gentle slope. Wang Hao rembered that he had been here before and had seen many worthless herbs that he hadn’t bothered to collect.
"This is Dragon Hollyhock, and these are the dicinal buds still in bloom, but the seeds on the branches can be collected for planting in the greenhouse."
Su Zhenping dug and explained at the sa ti.
Now, it was the season for autumn harvest and many herbal seeds had matured, a perfect opportunity for Wang Hao.
Under Su Zhenping’s guidance, they quickly filled two large baskets with herbs, and their pockets were stuffed with seeds.
Su Lin, with Qi Shihan, followed behind, playing around; Wang Hao did not expect them to be of any help, as long as they were happy.
However, it wasn’t long before they heard Su Lin’s urgent voice.
"Dad, Brother Hao, it’s bad, Shi Han is missing!"
