Zhao Hai and the others entered the village. It wasn't a big village, but there was a small shop in the village. Although the village was beside the road, it wasn't an important traffic route, so one small shop was enough for them.

Zhao Hai and the others walked into the shop. There were two tables of customers in the shop, but they looked more like villagers. They had only ordered two side dishes and were drinking some wine.

Zhao Hai's group of 16 people sat at two tables. Zhao Hai casually asked the shopkeeper to serve some simple food and would drink ordinary tea from the coarse porcelain bowl on the table.

The botanist in his thirties who had spoken to Zhao Hai before also poured himself a bowl of tea. However, after taking a sip, he put the bowl down. Then, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, " "Sir, why don't we ride horses? What if I have to walk?"

Zhao Hai glanced at him. He knew this person. He was a teacher in the Academy's herbalist division, Cai wanpeng. Among the teachers in the Academy, he was considered young and promising. However, it was obvious that he had been living in the Academy's excellent environment. He was not used to being in such a small shop.

Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled, " "It's nothing, just that it's inconvenient. You know, botanists are very independent, especially in the soldier soul continent. There are many botanists who would rather stay in the forest and observe the botanists than enter other people's houses and become their offerings, because that would mean they would lose their freedom. For botanists, it's more interesting to stay with plants than with people. I'm afraid I can get there in less than two days, but what about after I get there? What should he do with the horse? Leaving her in someone else's home was not a small fortune, but keeping her by her side? "But the place we're going to may not be suitable for horses at all. Besides, once we start to observe the plants, we don't have much time to look after the horses. So, botanists often choose to walk when they go out. This is not only because it's inconvenient, but it can also be regarded as a kind of cultivation."

Zhao Hai looked at Cai wanpeng and said, " &Quot; the cultivation of a botanist is very lonely. If you want to become a qualified botanist, a good botanist, you need to stay in the forest for a long time to observe the plants. By staying with the plants, not only can you observe the plants better, but you can also communicate with those plants for a long time and practice your communication ability. In addition, you can also exchange energy with those plants to increase your strength faster. Similarly, most of these practices were carried out in the forest, which required you to stay in the forest for a long time. What was the most terrifying thing about being alone in the forest? "Loneliness, the feeling of loneliness is the scariest thing. A good botanist must adapt to loneliness. It's best to learn to enjoy loneliness, but you definitely won't be used to this kind of loneliness in the beginning. Walking and hurrying on the road is a kind of cultivation, because when you're hurrying on the road, it's very likely that you're alone. You'll feel this kind of loneliness, but you still have to walk on. Slowly, you'll get used to this kind of lonely feeling."

Cai wanpeng nodded and didn't say anything else. At this time, the shopkeeper also served the dishes. They were all very simple dishes. Zhao Hai and the others were a little hungry, so they gobbled up the food one by one.

The food in the restaurant didn't taste that good, but Zhao Hai enjoyed it. After they finished eating, Zhao Hai called the manager over.

After the shopkeeper arrived, Cai wanpeng immediately paid the bill. After the bill was paid, Zhao Hai turned to the shopkeeper and said, " "Mr. Shopkeeper, do you have any plant-related problems to deal with in your village? We're botanists who came out of the Academy to practice. If you have any, you can tell us and we can help you deal with it. "

When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Hai's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he immediately said with a happy expression, " "My Lord, is what you said true? That's great. There is really something in our village that needs the help of the Lord botanist. One of the ancestor trees in our village, I don't know what happened recently, but a lot of leaves suddenly withered. We were preparing to ask the Academy to help solve it these two days. If you can help solve it, it would be best."

"We can help you take a look. Let's go." Zhao Hai nodded. After saying that, he stood up, picked up the wooden box beside him, and carried it on his back.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Hai's actions, he was even happier. He immediately said, " "Please follow me, my Lord." Then, he led Zhao Hai and the others out.

Zhao Hai and the others followed the shopkeeper into the village. After a while, they stopped in front of a courtyard. The shopkeeper went up and knocked on the door. Soon, an old voice came from the courtyard, " "Who is it?"

"Fourth uncle, it's me. I'm Hai Zi," the shopkeeper immediately said. With his words, the door of the courtyard was opened, and a man walked out. He was an old man who looked to be nearly 70 years old. His hair was almost white, and his back was a little Hunchback, but he was still in good spirits.

When the old man saw the shopkeeper, he nodded and said, " "It's you. Why aren't you looking after your shop? Oh, who are these adults? We haven't asked for help from the Academy yet, have we?"

The shopkeeper immediately said to the old man, " fourth uncle, these people are the botanists of the Academy. They came out to practice and just ate in my shop. After that, they asked me if there was anything about plants in the village that needed to be solved. I thought of the big tree in our village, so I invited them over. Fourth uncle, do you think you should take these people to the ancestor tree to have a look? "

When the old man heard the shopkeeper's words, he could not help but be stunned. Then, he immediately turned to Zhao Hai and the others and said, " "Are you really willing to help our village solve the ancestor tree's problem? Is this for real?"

"Of course it's true. Chief, can we go take a look at the progenitor tree?" Zhao Hai asked with a smile. I think he must be quite old to be called the progenitor tree, right? Isn't it better for them to go and take a look and solve the problem earlier?"

"Alright, please follow me," the old man nodded and said. Then, the village head LED Zhao Hai and the others into the village. After a while, they came to the center of the village. Once they reached the center, Zhao Hai and the others were stunned. There was a big tree in the middle of the village. The tree was very big. Its trunk was so thick that it would take ten people to wrap their arms around it. It was rare to see such a tree.

The old man walked to the tree respectfully. Then, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, " &Quot; my Lord, this is our ancestor tree. It is said that this ancestor tree was planted by our ancestors when our village was still around. Then, it slowly grew up and finally grew into such a towering tree. Now, this tree is our ancestor, so we call it the ancestor tree. He is the God of our village. But recently, for some reason, many yellow leaves have appeared on the tree. My Lord, do you see? " The old man pointed at the tree.

Zhao Hai looked in the direction the old man was pointing at. He noticed that a few of the thicker branches on the tree had a large number of yellow leaves, and they looked like they had withered.

Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, " okay, I understand, village chief. Please stand aside. Leave this to us. Teacher Cai, you can try it out first. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai's words, teacher Cai also responded. He walked to the big tree and observed it carefully. Then, he tried to communicate with the big tree. After that, he stepped aside. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Hai waved his hand and let the others go forward to observe.

Soon, everyone had observed the situation and communicated with the progenitor tree. Zhao Hai then gathered them together and said, " "Let's all talk about what's wrong with the progenitor tree. Teacher Cai, you can go first."

Cai wanpeng nodded and said, " Yes, sir. I think there is something wrong with this progenitor tree. It is just too old. It died of natural causes, so there is no way to treat it. &Quot;

As soon as Cai wanpeng said this, the village chief's face could not help but change and become very pale. Obviously, this was not the answer he wanted to hear.

Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to look at the others and said in a deep voice, " "Tell me, do you have the same opinion as teacher Cai?" The others looked at each other and nodded at the same time. It seemed that they agreed with Cai wanpeng's words.

The village chief's face turned pale when he saw everyone nodding their heads. He looked at the progenitor tree with a pained expression. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Hai took the wooden box off his back and sat on it. He then said to the others,"Alright, everyone, take a seat. Let's talk about the progenitor tree." When the others saw Zhao Hai's reaction, they all took down their wooden boxes and sat on them. They stared at Zhao Hai, which made the village chief even more curious. He never thought that the leader of the group would be the tall Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai looked much younger than Cai wanpeng, so the village head thought that Zhao Hai was just a follower sent by Cai wanpeng to discuss things with him. The real decision-makers were Cai wanpeng and the others. Although Zhao Hai did not want to do it before, he did not think much about it because he was worried about the progenitor tree. Now it seemed that the truth was far from what he had imagined.

After everyone had sat down, Zhao Hai said, " &Quot; everyone, why do plants die? "

Hearing Zhao Hai's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Then, they looked at him in confusion. They didn't know why Zhao Hai would ask such a question. Of course, plants would die. What else could he say?

Zhao Hai looked at them and could not help but shake his head in his heart. Then, he said, " &Quot; in the literature continent, there are two kinds of plants: wild ones and domesticated ones. Wild ones are like the trees in the woods, which are left alone. There are many domesticated plants, including the split rice. I think you all know that. However, the death of plants is not so easy to define. It's easy to explain the domesticated plants, because we need the split rice, just like the split rice. So when the Pi rice ripened, he naturally died, but the seeds of the Pi rice were left behind and became the Pi rice, which we ate. However, wild plants are different, especially the trees and plants that have been growing for many years."
