The old man was also surprised by this sight, and scratched his head in confusion.

gem……

There were so many flaws that Ye Lan didn’t know where to start.

I hope you, old man, can still call it a 'jewel' after knowing that it destroyed your entire farmland.

Yelan jumped down, squatted down, and grabbed it into the palm of his hand.

The mint-like coolness spread all over Ye Lan's body in an instant, and at the same time, it seemed to have a pulling force on his palm!

This thing...

Before Ye Lan could study it, the old man screamed next to him.

"Grown up! It's grown up!!"

What grows up?

The old man's voice sounded so anxious that the listener was so anxious that Ye Lan's eyes had to be drawn towards it.

Then, even Ye Lan was shocked.

Everything around me... No! To be more precise, the devil's black pepper, which occupies almost all the sight, is slowly expanding and growing!

Ye Lan was surprised and confused, but for the old man at this moment, there was only ecstasy. The ecstasy that no longer wants to think about cause and effect.

But his joy was destined not to last long, and bad news came unexpectedly.

"Why doesn't it grow anymore...why doesn't it grow anymore!"

The growing devil's black pepper stopped growing.

Yelan looked over and saw that it had not shrunk and degenerated again, but it obviously had not grown back to the size of the sample, and could only reach one-third.

"Old man, please calm down first. Take a look, is it still 'withering'?"

This involves something Ye Lan doesn't understand.

The old man was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and hurried to confirm with his lifelong experience.

After a moment, he stopped. In the complex expressions, there is a mixture of happiness and sadness.

"It has indeed stopped withering. According to this state, within a few days, the harvest will arrive as scheduled. But..." It was really hard for him to laugh. "It can only be regarded as inferior products. Not only has the total annual income been cut in half, but the quality has also deteriorated too much. If it continues to be sold, it may even be a crisis for the credibility of our sewage town..."

In this case, Ye Lan can understand it very well. The plump and sweet fruit suddenly turned into a half-cooked and astringent fruit. All high-end products are transformed into affordable products - all year round.

It's certainly not going to be perfect, but Sewer Town's economic crisis has apparently been resolved this year. No matter what, losing money is better than going bankrupt, right?

"Young man...what is going on? Why...why!"

He really couldn't understand what was happening. And now the only person in the world who is most likely to know the situation is this... mysterious and unfamiliar face in front of him.

His current attitude towards Ye Lan... That's really a thousand times, ten thousand times better, just like looking at the savior.

Even Arthur, the strongest man in Sewer Town, couldn't do anything after visiting yesterday. But not only did he find the reason, he even achieved a solution that he didn't even dare to hope for!

The reason why I felt a little disappointed just now was because I thought too much and thought I could recover as before.

But how is that possible...

"I'm not sure yet, but I'm very sure that this must be man-made." Ye Lan said without hiding anything: "Four days ago, around 11 to 12 o'clock in the evening, did you hear anything strange? The sound?”

Four nights ago...man-made...man-made?

The old man's eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage, and he let out a low roar.

"Who...who is it? What kind of hatred is it that wants to cut off the roots of our sewage town!"

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something again and murmured in a low voice.

"Four nights ago? If you want to put it that way, I really have an impression... That night I heard a very light swaying sound of the iron net, like a gust of wind, but I didn't pay attention...'"

Isn't this right?

Time, place!

"In which direction? Please take me to see it."

The old man also knew that there was a huge breakthrough in the matter and agreed repeatedly.

"Remember, how could I not remember! I know every inch of this place clearly, and I can probably recall which direction... this way!"

The old man was also the one who did what he said, he turned around and led the way. Ye Lan followed closely behind.

He was obviously very old, and he moved really fast, so much so that he was a little out of breath following him in the farmland.

In this way, the two of them arrived at the place in the old man's memory at an extremely fast speed.

"This is it. Look, there's nothing!"

Ye Lan followed the sound and looked, it was indeed just an ordinary place. Yelan had already observed it before coming in. The entire Black Devil pepper field is enclosed within a large barbed wire fence. Looking closely at it, one can see that due to lack of care and age, the iron wire has been severely corroded by rust, and is in a state that can be discovered at the slightest sign of trouble.

It's just that... there are no blind spots in sight.

There were weeds almost half knee high on the ground!

Seeing Ye Lan squatting down and picking up the weeds on the ground, the old man seemed to have some idea. He then rolled up his trouser legs, squatted next to Ye Lan, and started picking at the weeds together.

At the foot of this entire row of barbed wire fences are weeds that have not been taken care of for who knows how many years, blocking the view below. If it is true as speculated, no one knows where exactly it happened.

This continued for several minutes, and Ye Lan finally stopped. Seeing the hollow that Ye Lan had opened, the old man also paused.

"This..."

The base of the wire mesh had been completely chiseled open. A small rectangular hole was cut in the wire mesh above.

The hole was small, and it could even hide in the weeds. It looked like a medium-sized dog could pass through normally. But on the other hand, such a space was enough for a thin person to lie down and crawl through.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Ye Lan didn't need to say anything. The speculation was confirmed, and the cause of the incident was self-evident.

"Damn it..." The old man was silent for a long time, clenching his fists tightly. "Who is it, who is it!"

Ye Lan had already found out the limit of what he could find here, and gradually had the intention of saying goodbye. But before he could say anything, the old man roared again in excitement.

"What on earth is Arthur doing? How could something like this happen? I told him so many times to add more people to the town guard, but he just wouldn't!"

"It must be an outsider! Who in this sewage town doesn't rely on this thing to survive?"
