Chapter 2153: Harvest Farm's Magical Daily Life 24

Jiang Ji finally apologized while crying.

Let the Jiang family wait outside the orchard; they brought Jiang Ji into the orchard to check the situation.

Tai La squatted beside the field ridge, fingertips inserted into the soil, and brown skin suddenly showed patterns like black mist.

He frowned and pulled his hand back; soil slipped from his fingers: "The rot has reached the veins, the evil elves' magic contamination is deeper than expected."

Tai La glanced at Jiang Ji: "What exactly did your partner Qin Zong pour into the ground?"

Jin Chen suddenly spoke up: "Where is Qin Zong?"

His green eyes were deep and dark, like a snake locking onto prey: "He incited you to use evil magic to hasten the fruit trees, but didn't teach you how to clean up the mess."

Jiang Ji shuddered all over, nails digging into the wound in the palm.

"I don't know! Three days ago he said he was going to the mountains to figure something out, and never came back..."

He suddenly collapsed, clutching his hair: "He said magic could purify everything, I... I believed him."

"You're really stupid then." Jin Chen said bluntly.

Jiang Ji cried even harder.

Lin Mian and Tai La walked through the entire orchard; eventually Tai La said they could save this soil, needing to prepare an antidote in a special way.

Lin Mian conveyed Tai La's meaning, assuring the Jiang family it could be resolved, but it would take three days, with the cost borne entirely by Jiang Ji.

The Jiang family naturally expressed thanks; Young Uncle Jiang still wanted to ask what the cause was, but the neighbor old lady familiar with the mysterious Harvest Farm stopped him from inquiring, so he could only see them off.

——

Returning to the farm, Lin Mian convened all the assistants for a meeting—except the chicklings and ducklings.

Ling Gun Gun tracked the position of the protagonist attacker, its little paws scratching its head.

【Eh Host, the protagonist attacker ran off to the elf another world.】

Not the slightest bit of virtue in sharing hardship with the protagonist receiver!

Jin Chen couldn't be bothered to manage where Qin Zong went; as long as he confirmed it wouldn't bring disaster to the farm, that was enough.

Having rejected Ke Luo Ni's suggestion to play a tune for the fruit trees, Lin Mian still decided to listen to the more reliable suggestion from Tai La.

Tai La pondered for a moment: "We can use the dew of the magical seeds, mix in some special plant ash, add ingredients from the elf forest, and concoct an antidote. This antidote can purify the evil magic in the soil, letting the orchard regain its vitality."

Ke Luo Ni raised a hand, joining the topic again: "Preparing this antidote requires very fine magical control; only the magic mushroom elf can do that."

Ling Gun Gun lifted its head: "Ah."

What mushroom power.

Jin Chen's face darkened as he slapped it away.

Tai La's suggestion gave Lin Mian hope, but figuring out how to contact the legendary magic mushroom elf became a problem.

Jin Chen said: "The mailbox of the elf wooden house can connect to all elf territories; just put the request letter inside, and the magic mushroom elf will receive it. Of course, the premise is that it's willing to deal with humans."

Tai La and Ke Luo Ni said in unison: "That's a fellow so shy they could spend a lifetime in a cave."

We just have to try.

Lin Mian pulled out a yellowed sheet of paper from the drawer, dipped the pen in ink, and seriously wrote the request.

Jin Chen stood behind him, watching his own wife write stroke by stroke: "Respected Magic Mushroom Elf, we urgently need your help……"

He suddenly chuckled, leaned over and gave Lin Mian a quick peck on the face: "Kun Kun, you're writing too formally."

In the end, only one sentence landed in the mailbox—Divine summon, come quickly.

——

The next night, moonlight bathed the farm; Lin Mian was in the kitchen preparing a bedtime snack for Jin Chen when he suddenly heard a faint knocking at the door.

He opened the door to find a tiny magic mushroom elf standing on the steps, its cap sliced by thistles, its pale purple mycelium faintly trembling, holding a crystal-clear morning dew fruit in its hands.

"Magic mushroom elf…!" Lin Mian felt a bit excited, but then remembered they said the magic mushroom elf was timid, so he quickly lowered his voice.

Lin Mian crouched to look at it: "Are you willing to help us?"

"Yes, yes, the Divine Envoy summoned me; I dare not not come."

"But… may I stay a few days? I was injured by evil magic."

The magic mushroom elf's voice was like a dandelion blown by the wind, so soft it could barely be heard.

It lowered its head; the crack in its cap oozed a pale gold liquid: "You can use the morning dew fruit as payment… this is a seed from deep in the forest; once planted, it will bear fruit that can be brewed into morning dew wine."

Lin Mian quickly stepped aside: "Come in quickly; your wound needs treatment."

However, Lin Mian couldn't treat the elf's injury himself; he could only seek help from his boyfriend.

Jin Chen heard the movement and walked in, seeing the magic mushroom elf curled up in the corner of the sofa, he raised an eyebrow.

The elf felt the Divine Envoy's gaze, its entire cap turning pink, stammering: "Divine Envoy, hello…"

"Oh my goodness, cute little guy, you're hurt!" Ke Luo Ni and Tai La appeared, arms around each other's shoulders, exaggeratingly singing praise.

The poor magic mushroom elf was about to shrink under the sofa.

Jin Chen slumped bonelessly onto Lin Mian's shoulder: "Magic mushroom elves can absorb moonlight essence to heal wounds; lately it's the black moon period in another world, no wonder they're willing to come to the human world."

After thinking, Jin Chen turned and walked to the backyard, weaving a hanging hammock from vines, suspended beneath the apple tree.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, dappled, scattering across the hammock surface with faint silver specks.

"Lie here." He said briefly.

The magic mushroom elf cupped its flushed cheeks; two white mushrooms puffed out from the top of its head.

"Heavens! The Divine Envoy personally made this hammock!"

It crawled up with hands and feet together, its entire cap already red as ripe fruit.

Lin Mian couldn't help laughing at the sight: "You're just too adorable!"

Jin Chen glanced at him: "Kun Kun, whoever you praise, you always say they're cute."

I'm cute too, these few elves are cute, this mushroom is cute.

Was quite puzzled.

Lin Mian's face flushed; she wanted to laugh but forced herself to hold back, gently cupping the face of her boyfriend, who was also the vinegar-flavored divine envoy.

"You're the cutest, unlike them."

Lin Mian gazed into Jin Chen's deep green eyes, as if drawn by some mysterious power, she lightly rose onto her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss at the corner of his eye, like a feather brushing past.

Jin Chen, satisfied, embraced Lin Mian and returned a quick kiss.

The magic mushroom still on the hammock: ……

Didn't dare to move.
