This is also the reason why Su Yunluo dared to ask everyone to stay in the tree.

Shi Ba was just about to fly over to save Wang Jinbao.

A villager next to Wang Jinbao suddenly jumped over, grabbed a branch with one hand and grabbed Wang Jinbao's leg with the other hand as he fell.

Eighteen flew up and rescued the two people from mid-air.

After the rescue, Su Yunluo discovered that the villager who saved the man was actually trembling with fear.

"Thank you so much. Are you okay? Sit down and have a rest." Su Yunluo personally helped the man sit down.

The man rested for a long time and finally the shaking stopped as severe.

The first thing he could say was: "Mrs. Su...Mrs. Su...please don't refuse to rent the land to us."

It turned out that he was worried that the previous tragedy would happen again, and then the land owner would be angry and stop renting the land to them.

"Don't worry, you just saved my third son. If I take back your land, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity? Besides, it wasn't your fault that the third son fell down. Even if he was injured at that time, you shouldn't be blamed."

Hearing this, the villager finally relaxed.

At this moment, other people also came down from the trees and surrounded him with worried looks on their faces.

Su Yunluo said with a smile: "Everyone has been picking for so long, it's a good time to take a break, drink some water, and eat something."

Baizhi and the other three just happened to bring over some food.

Fried chestnuts and brewed black tea.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Su Yunluo was talking and laughing the whole time, and that the Third Young Master was not injured.

After eating and taking a good rest, we continued picking chestnuts.

We also had lunch in the chestnut forest.

Su Yunluo treated everyone to some toasted buns.

Filled with mutton.

Get the wood on site and bake it on the spot.

Eat it while roasting, it is fragrant and crispy.

Especially the mutton is so fat, when you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil...

For the villagers who have been lacking in oil and water for a long time, it is simply the most delicious food in the world.

"Eat more. Eat until you are full." Su Yunluo said.

During the meal, she saw someone secretly putting roasted lamb buns into his pockets, but she didn't say anything.

She probably just wanted to take it home for her elderly and children to try, so there was no need for her to expose it.

After a day of picking chestnuts, I finally finished picking most of them.

The big basket was filled with more than ten of them.

The chestnuts are all plump and ripen naturally on the tree, so they are all the best.

Su Yunluo kept one basket for himself and asked everyone to take the rest back and distribute it to all the villagers in the three villages.

"Chestnuts left on the tree will rot sooner or later. It's better for them to be eaten by people." Su Yunluo said.

"Thank you, Madam Su." They thought they were here to help Madam Su and repay her kindness, so they worked really hard when picking chestnuts.

In the end, their hard work paid off.

They carried the chestnuts back in baskets, two people at a time.

Su Yunluo watched the villagers leaving. Just by looking at their backs, he could feel their happiness.

……

Today is the fourth day here.

Su Yunluo took everyone for a walk and a look around the world.

After walking around, I saw quite a few ponds.

The ponds are big and small, but there doesn't seem to be anything farmed in them.

After returning, she randomly approached villagers to find out about the situation.

"I see there are many ponds among the fields. Doesn't anyone raise fish or shrimp?"

"I can't support you, Madam Su."

"Why? Don't you have any fish? Or do you not know how to raise them?"

"Neither. It's just that although the land in our area is fertile, the water supply is insufficient. Farming depends entirely on the water in those ponds. In the summer, in order to protect the crops, the water in the ponds is almost always gone every year, so we can't raise fish or shrimp at all."

"So that's how it is." She thought for a moment and said, "Are there no rivers or anything like that around here?"

“There is a river.”

"Then why don't we use water from the river for irrigation? Then the pond won't dry up?"

"Hey...Mrs. Su, you don't know. The river is not on your land, but on another piece of land. And the owner of that land does not allow people here to use the river."

"How can such a thing happen? The river should belong to everyone equally."

"That person is rich and powerful, and we dare not offend him."

Su Yunluo understood: "I know, thank you for telling me."

She immediately sent Eighteen to find out the owner of the land.

Eighteen soon found out everything and came back to tell her, "That piece of land has a total of 23,666 acres, and it all belongs to a businessman named Li. But it is said that the businessman is now very ill and is about to die."

"You're almost done? Is that such a coincidence?"

"I went to his home to check on him. Indeed, his face had turned black. He must be dying."

"It's okay or not, it's up to me."

The next morning, Su Yunluo and Shiba went to visit the businessman named Li in person.

In a beautiful place, facing the river, a palace-like house was built.

Other people have stone lions placed at their doorsteps, but the one at his doorstep is a stone lion carved out of jade.

Knock on the door.

Soon, a servant opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Li Yu."

"I'm sorry, but our master said he won't see anyone."

"Tell him I can cure his illness!"

"Get out!" The servant suddenly got angry and slammed the door.

Su Yunluo was confused and continued to knock on the door: "Open the door."

The servant angrily opened the door and warned, "I've seen a lot of charlatans like you. You heard that my master was sick, so you came to cheat me! I tell you, if you don't get out of here, I'll have someone beat you away!"

"I'm not a liar!"

"A liar never says he is a liar! Get out of here! Don't make me say it a third time!"

It was really outrageous that I was treated as a liar and was blocked outside the house.

But if you think about it calmly, maybe they are really afraid of being cheated!

Su Yunluo had no choice but to look at Eighteen.

Eighteen understood, picked her up immediately, and took her over the wall.

He had already thoroughly explored the mansion yesterday, so when he came again today, he naturally led people to Li Yu's room as if he was familiar with the place.

"This is it."

"I'll go in, you stay outside." After Su Yunluo gave the order, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Who?" the person on the bed asked weakly.

Although it was morning, the man clearly had no energy at all.

Not hearing any answer, he raised his head from the bed with difficulty and looked towards the door.

"Who are you? Come here!"

"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I just took a fancy to a piece of land in your family and wanted to ask you to buy it. I also heard that you were sick, so I came here to cure you." Su Yunluo was quite surprised, thinking that Li Yu would be an old grandfather.
