In the yard, Qiqi was sitting on a chair.

"Chen Bei, look at that pine tree?"

This morning, Qiqi brought Yan Chenbei out of the space, discharged him from the hospital and returned home.

Since entering the house, the two have been resting in the room, and even the meals were brought into the house by Xiaoxue.

In the evening, Qiqi said that she had been bored in the house for a few days and wanted to go out and sit in the yard.

Aunt Fang asked her son Jinxuan to move the reclining chair to the yard and put a quilt on it as a cushion.

Yan Chenbei sat on the chair, and Qiqi lay down with her head resting on his legs.

The two people looked at the sun quietly.

Qiqi accidentally looked at the pine trees beside the courtyard wall and found that the originally green pine trees were all dead.

"What's there to see?"

Yan Chenbei lost his blood lotus and became an ordinary mortal. The speed of wound recovery changed. If Qiqi hadn't put him in the space with spiritual power to heal him, his wounds would have recovered even slower.

Now, I'm basically healed, but I'm in pain all over my body.

There is some difficulty in movement.

So, he stayed with Qiqi to recuperate.

Now, his eyes fell on the pine tree. It was just an ordinary pine tree, and it was dead. What was there to see?

“It’s dead.”

Qiqi said thoughtfully.

"It's winter, isn't it normal for it to wither and die?"

In winter, everything freezes to death. It is normal for a tree to die.

Yan Chenbei didn't understand why Qiqi suddenly asked this.

"It's a pine tree. It won't freeze to death in the winter."

"Oh, yes, it's a pine tree. Could it be infested with insects?"

Yan Chenbei's attention was not on this. He answered perfunctorily, his eyes always gently on Qiqi's face.

"What's going on?"

Qiqi looked south along the courtyard wall. To the south of the pine tree was a cypress. She remembered clearly that before she was hospitalized, the cypress had green leaves. Now, like the pine tree, it had withered and died. What was even more puzzling was that the leaves of the cypress had withered and died, curled up on the branches, which was a bit disturbing.

"what happened?"

"Those trees, you see?"

Following the direction where Qiqi pointed, Yan Chenbei saw.

The magnolia tree, osmanthus tree, and other tall trees growing by the wall have all died.

"How is this going?"

Yan Chenbei lost the blood lotus and became an ordinary person.

What he saw was the same as what Qiqi saw.

He didn't notice anything unusual.

"Sister Fang, have you sprayed these trees with pesticides or fertilizers?"

Qiqi saw Aunt Fang coming over with tea.

I wondered if it was because Aunt Fang made a mistake in fertilizing or spraying the trees during the days she was in the hospital that the trees died? Otherwise, even if they were frozen to death, it would be impossible for them to freeze to death all at once. Besides, these trees are the kind that cannot be frozen to death in winter and will not shed their leaves.

"No. What's wrong?"

Aunt Fang followed Qiqi's gaze and looked over.

"Oh, why are all these trees dead?"

Aunt Fang was also surprised.

"I remember these trees were fine a few days ago. When did they die?"

These days, Qiqi was in the hospital and Chief Yan was not at home. The two children were taken care of by Aunt Fang. She was very busy and didn't pay any attention to the trees.

"Don't you think it's strange that these trees are dead?"

Qiqi knew of course, but when she asked this question, no one could answer.

But she just felt strange.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. It's a little strange."

Aunt Fang has always been a careful person.

As soon as Qiqi said this, her heart skipped a beat when she looked at the tree.
