Chapter 1146: Chapter 1142: Inviting Someone to Take a Look

Today’s situation is similar to yesterday’s, both involving the excavator digging up foundation piles, and then finding something.

The pit was full of dead snakes, chopped into several segments, and the number was significantly more than yesterday. The scene was even more eerie.

Upon seeing this, Wu Kexin and Annie frowned deeply, feeling rather terrified.

Only Chen Yang remained expressionless.

Because he never believed in any ghost or spirit talk, if anything, it was just someone playing tricks.

“Boss Chen… what do you think we should do about this? If it’s not handled properly, the brothers really won’t dare to continue working.” After Chen Yang watched for a while, a nearby manager tentatively asked for Chen Yang’s view, hoping to see a solution.

“Where is your manager?” Chen Yang did not directly answer but instead asked where the manager had gone.

“Our manager went to the county; there are many matters on the construction site, and he needs to report to the group.”

The junior manager responded.

Upon hearing that the manager wasn’t there, Chen Yang realized that this junior manager was the highest-ranking person on-site, so he began to discuss with him.

“What do you think is the best way to handle this situation?”

Chen Yang did not believe in ghosts or spirits, but the workers on-site did.

Finding such things for two consecutive days was indeed unsettling.

So, for the time being, no one dared to continue working, especially the excavator operator, who was so frightened his legs were shaking, and he was sweating profusely.

Upon being asked for his opinion by Chen Yang, the junior manager immediately said, “Boss Chen, I think we need to get a mage to come and take a look, and if necessary, perform a ritual. Only then can everyone feel at ease.”

This suggestion from the junior manager seemed absurd, but it was actually quite effective.

As soon as he said it, the surrounding workers echoed his sentiment.

“Yes, Boss Chen, get a mage. Without one, the brothers won’t feel secure.”

“If there really is something unclean here, it’s better to deal with it early, especially since this will eventually be a school.”

“This sort of thing cannot be taken lightly; it’s better to believe it exists than not.”

…

The workers discussed it animatedly, all expressing the need to get a mage to take a look, otherwise, they would not feel at ease while working.

Chen Yang didn’t believe in ghosts, but considering the current situation, if they didn’t get a mage to take a look, probably no one would dare to proceed with the construction.

If this dragged on, it would just delay the progress of the project.

With this in mind, Chen Yang thought it over and agreed.

“Alright, then let’s get a mage, and find one this afternoon, so it doesn’t delay tomorrow’s work,” Chen Yang said decisively.

Seeing Chen Yang agree, the junior manager also immediately agreed, indicating he would handle this matter immediately, striving to figure it out by this afternoon, so that tomorrow’s construction could proceed as usual.

“Okay, then let everyone take a break for now, and when the mage arrives, we’ll all take a look together.”

Chen Yang made a simple arrangement and then didn’t stick around the construction site any longer, leading Wu Kexin and Annie away to continue to the mysterious fruit orchard.

On the way, Annie and Wu Kexin started talking about what had just happened.

“This is just too spooky, how can such things happen two days in a row? Could there really be something unclean?” Annie, who had a timid disposition, was immediately scared, holding onto Wu Kexin’s hand tightly, as if fearing encountering more snakes.

Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, “There’s no such thing as ghosts or gods, it’s just some tricks to scare people. Aren’t there loads of snakes in the mountains and villages? Digging up one or two isn’t surprising.”

Chen Yang spoke lightly and straightforwardly.

But Annie was still scared.

“This isn’t just one or two snakes, it’s clearly a whole nest… It’s terrifying to think about. I’ve got goosebumps all over again.” Recalling the scene from earlier, Annie couldn’t help but shiver again, finding it extremely creepy.

Seeing that he couldn’t reason with her, Chen Yang decided not to explain further.

He glanced at Wu Kexin and, with a smile, asked for her opinion on the matter.

Wu Kexin had a serious expression, clearly also affected by the earlier scene.

But she was simply frightened by the image, unlike Annie, who believed in those ghost or spirit things.

“I have the same opinion as yesterday; it’s either a coincidence or someone is doing it deliberately. But I think the likelihood of coincidence is higher, as generally, people wouldn’t go through the trouble of staging such things.” Wu Kexin said thoughtfully after careful consideration.

Hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t say anything, just nodded in agreement.

After walking for a few minutes, the three arrived at the mysterious fruit orchard.

Upon reaching here, they were all surprised to find that there were even more flowers today than yesterday.

Seeing this scene, Annie was very astonished.

She was already surprised to see so many flowers yesterday.

But she didn’t expect that today, even more flowers would bloom, which was simply amazing.

“With so many flowers blooming, if they all turn into fruits, wouldn’t it weigh the fruit trees down?” Annie remarked in shock.

Wu Kexin was also quite astonished; she had never seen fruit trees flowering while bearing fruits.

It seemed so anti-scientific.

“Chen Yang, how did you manage to do this? It’s one thing to get the fruit trees to flower again, but there are so many of them.” Wu Kexin also looked at Chen Yang in amazement and said.

Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, “It was just a remedy, and I came with a mindset to give it a try, never expecting it to actually succeed.”

Wu Kexin was not very convinced by Chen Yang’s explanation, because she knew that Chen Yang had many secrets.

Moreover, there were many magical aspects to him, which couldn’t be explained by conventional wisdom.

Knowing these facets, she didn’t believe it but also didn’t pursue further questioning.

Instead, she directly went wandering in the orchard with Annie, admiring flowers and enjoying oranges.

There were still plenty of ripe oranges in the orchard, allowing the two to eat to their heart’s content.

Chen Yang had long known that Annie loved food, so seeing them eat, he didn’t say anything.

Shaking his head with a smile, he too wandered around the orchard.

Only, his wandering wasn’t without purpose.

He remembered from his childhood that while the wild fruits in this orchard were tasty, they were definitely not as good as they were now.

For the fruit flavor to change so suddenly, there must be a reason.

It could be a change in soil, or a change in climate; there must be some cause.

If he wanted to continue running the orchard, naturally, he must understand the reason behind this; otherwise, who knows, one wrong action could damage the orchard’s environment.

Chen Yang wandered around the orchard, occasionally squatting to scoop up some soil, studying it.

He examined it very seriously, and he didn’t even overlook the water quality near the orchard.

Yet, after nearly an hour of research, he couldn’t uncover anything significant.

“Next time, I’ll bring Wangcai over. Its nose is very sensitive; maybe it can find the source.”

Seeing that he couldn’t figure anything out, Chen Yang decided not to rush his investigation. After all, the orchard hadn’t officially started operating yet.

Once the market opens and it’s certain that the orchard is to be run long-term, it wouldn’t be too late to research it then.
