Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

I quickly opened the door and saw Uncle Li sweating profusely and looking panicked. Even his voice was trembling. "Girl, it's bad. The water in the field...the field..."

My heart skipped a beat, and without asking any more questions, Hanchuan and I followed Uncle Li to run to the fields.

As soon as I entered the field, a pungent smell of pesticides entered my nose. In the moonlight, I saw a layer of oil floating on the water surface of the field, emitting a strange light. My heart sank instantly. It was obvious that someone had deliberately poisoned the field!

"Who the hell did this wicked thing?" Uncle Li was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the polluted experimental field and burst into tears.

I suppressed my anger and carefully checked the situation in the field. The leaves of the rice had begun to wilt. If no measures were taken, I was afraid that the entire experimental field would be destroyed!

"Hanchuan, hurry up and block the ditch. We must not let this poisonous water flow into other fields!" I made a prompt decision and gave Hanchuan instructions.

Hanchuan nodded solemnly, quickly picked up a shovel, and began to dig the soil on the ridge of the field to block the flow of water.

I immediately took out the detoxifying powder from the space, diluted it with water according to the proportion, and started spraying it on the rice.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the clothes of the three of us were soaked with sweat, but no one stopped what they were doing.

Finally, the sky began to turn pale, and we successfully stopped the spread of the toxic water and carried out emergency treatment on the contaminated test fields.

Looking at the surviving test field in front of me, I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't relax in my heart. I knew that this competition had just begun.

"Who is it? Who wants to harm us?" Uncle Li asked with red eyes and gritted teeth.

I shook my head and looked around, finally landing on the small road at the entrance of the village leading to the town.

"We will soon know who it is." Han Chuan's voice was icy cold. He held my hand tightly with a firm look in his eyes, "I will definitely find out who is behind this!"

As soon as Hanchuan finished speaking, we saw a jeep speeding down the path, braked suddenly and stopped at the edge of the field. A man jumped out of the car and walked towards us angrily.

I recognized the person right away. It was...

"It's Zhao Dehai!" I gasped. I didn't expect it was really him, our competitor and the manager of the town's agricultural supply company. Why would he appear here at this time?

Zhao Dehai walked up to us with an angry face, pointed at Hanchuan's nose and cursed: "Bai Hanchuan, you are so vicious that you ruined my hard work!"

"Zhao Dehai, what nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly you who poisoned our fields, and now you are the bad guy complaining first?" I stood up and refuted.

"Humph, don't think I don't know what evil tricks you used to make the rice grow so well. You must have used some banned hormones!" Zhao Dehai gritted his teeth and said, "I will expose your true colors today!"

"You are slandering me!" I was furious and was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Hanchuan. He protected me behind him and looked at Zhao Dehai coldly, "Zhao Dehai, I warn you, don't slander me! Everything in our test field is operated according to the regular procedures and can withstand any inspection!"

"Check? Humph, I'll check it for you today!" Zhao Dehai said, pushed Hanchuan away, and walked towards the field.

"Stop it!" Seeing this, Hanchuan rushed forward to stop him.

The two of them were fighting on the ridge of the field. I was so anxious that I wanted to help, but Uncle Li held me back and said, "Girl, don't go. Let the men handle it!"

I could only watch the two of them fighting each other. My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand and I was almost suffocating.

Suddenly, I heard a "bang" and then Zhao Dehai's scream. I looked closely and saw Han Chuan pinning Zhao Dehai to the ground and punching him. Zhao Dehai covered his face with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Hanchuan, stop it!" I shouted.

Hanchuan slowly let go of Zhao Dehai and stood up. There was blood on the corner of his mouth and his face was pale. He was obviously injured in the fight. But he still stood straight, like a proud pine tree, guarding the experimental field behind him.

Zhao Dehai got up from the ground in a panic, glared at us fiercely, and said harshly: "Just wait for me!" Then he ran away in shame.

I quickly ran to Hanchuan and checked his injuries. There were scratches on his mouth and arms to varying degrees. I took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe his wounds.

"I'm fine." Hanchuan grabbed my hand and said softly, "You don't have to worry."

Uncle Li also came over, looked at Hanchuan's injuries, sighed and said, "What is going on? The rice we worked so hard to grow is about to mature, how could this happen?"

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will find a way to solve it." I comforted Uncle Li, and at the same time secretly made up my mind that I must not let Zhao Dehai's conspiracy succeed!

Next, the three of us worked together overnight to rescue the experimental field destroyed by Zhao Dehai. Based on his experience, Uncle Li readjusted the experimental plan, hoping to minimize the losses.

Watching Uncle Li busy at work, I was filled with gratitude and admiration. This old man has given so much for our experiment.

Although Hanchuan was injured, he still stayed in the experimental field and refused to rest for a moment. He used his actual actions to explain what responsibility and commitment mean.

Looking at everything in front of me, my heart is filled with anger and heartache...

It was late at night, and I came to Hanchuan with a bowl of steaming porridge. He was still studying the data under the lamp, his brows were furrowed, and his handsome face was full of fatigue. My heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and I felt extremely distressed.

"Hanchuan, eat something first." I said softly.

He raised his head and saw me, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep," I put the bowl of porridge next to him. "Look at you, you're injured, and you're not resting well." There was a hint of complaint in my tone, but more of heartache.

Hanchuan took the bowl of porridge and took a sip. A warm current flowed down his throat to his stomach, warming his heart. "I'm fine. This injury is nothing." He smiled and said, "But you, don't worry about me. Go to bed early."

"How can I not worry?" I looked at the scars on his arm, my eyes moistened. "Zhao Dehai is too despicable. I will never let this matter go!"

Hanchuan put down the bowl, held my hand, and said firmly, "Don't worry, Jinli, I will protect you and our hard work."

I nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and felt strong in my heart.

In the following days, we worked even harder, almost forgetting the time and fatigue. Uncle Li also accompanied us all the time, and his experience and wisdom gave us great help.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the test results came out. The new fertilizer we developed successfully controlled the disease of crops, and the yield and quality were significantly improved!

"Success! We succeeded!" I jumped up excitedly, hugged Hanchuan, and my eyes were blurred with tears.

Hanchuan also showed a relieved smile and patted my back gently, "Jinli, we did it."

Uncle Li was so excited that he burst into tears. "Great! Great! It's great! My whole life is worth it!"

We hugged each other tightly, our joy and excitement were beyond words. This is the result of our joint efforts, the flower of hope watered by sweat and tears!

However, we all know that this is only the first step to victory. The real challenge is still ahead. Zhao Dehai and his agricultural materials company will not give up. We still need to prove our strength in the market.

"Jinli, what are your plans next?" Hanchuan asked me.

I took a deep breath and said with a firm look in my eyes: "I want everyone to know that the fertilizer we developed is the best! I will make those who have doubted us and hurt us pay the price!"

I know the road ahead is still long, but I am full of confidence. I have the best partners, the best technology, and the determination to overcome all difficulties!

I want everyone to know that Mu Jinli is not so easily defeated! And this battle about dignity and dreams has just begun...
