Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 376 An accident occurred at the apiary
"This"

When Xu Yuliang heard this, he was immediately shocked, and then asked in disbelief: "How is this possible? Wasn't he fine two days ago?"

"That's right!"

Ma Guifang nodded, and then said anxiously, "Two days ago, they were all fine. I don't know what happened today? More than half of them died in an instant!"

"More than half!"

Xu Yuliang's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he asked in astonishment, "So many people died? Did you see it clearly?"

"oops!"

Ma Guifang was slightly stunned, then stamped her feet in annoyance and said, "I haven't had time to count the exact number of deaths. Anyway, there are so many deaths that I can't even count them."

"This"

When Xu Yuliang heard this, his heart sank and he quickly got up and ran towards the apiary.

Seeing this, Ma Guifang hurriedly followed behind.

Not long after, they arrived at the first apiary one after another. From a distance, they saw the apiary workers all gathered around the beehives, with panic-stricken looks on their faces.

When Xu Yuliang saw this situation, he became anxious and rushed forward, pushed away the people blocking the way, and stared straight at the beehives.

The next moment, I saw bees lying on top of and around the beehive, and it was obvious that they were dead.

Seeing so many dead bees, Xu Yuliang's heart felt like it was filled with a bucket of ice water, and he felt completely chilled.

In this situation, even if he is not very proficient in beekeeping techniques, he can tell that something big has happened.

If it is not handled properly, the apiary may face a devastating disaster.

Therefore, after coming to his senses, he immediately couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find a way to save him!"

Hearing this, the bee farm workers nearby all looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's obvious that they have no idea how to deal with such a problem.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until Xu Yuliang came over and still looked helpless.

Seeing this, Xu Yuliang was immediately furious. He tried to hold it back, but he couldn't help but yelled, "Don't you all think you are quite capable? Why are you all silent now?
If you had known this would happen, what were you doing when you chased Qiangzi away? "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt embarrassed.

After all, when the production brigade decided to expel Li Guoqiang from the apiary and take away Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping's job positions, they applauded secretly.

Who would have thought that within less than three months after leaving Li Guoqiang's support, such a big change would happen to the apiary.

If they cannot find a way to solve this problem, they will not only not be able to get a generous dividend in the future, but they will not even be able to keep their job in the apiary.

They even had to face accountability from the villagers of the entire production brigade.

Thinking of this, they all showed a look of fear, and then some of them started to speak in unison and suggested:

"Captain, why don't we go ask Aunt Yinfeng and Sister Yuping to come over and see if they have any ideas!"

"Yes! They are usually close to Qiangzi and should have learned more techniques. Maybe they will have a way."

"If you ask me, this apiary was originally established by Qiangzi. Now that such a serious problem has arisen, we must invite Qiangzi back."

"Captain, it's not that we don't think of a solution. We have already tried all the solutions we can think of, but they are all useless."

"Yes! Captain, this is really not our fault. Qiangzi never taught us how to deal with such a situation."

Seeing the workers at the apiary shirking their responsibilities one by one, Xu Yuliang's face suddenly turned darker.

However, he knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with these people. The most urgent task was to find a way to solve the problem of dying bees.

After thinking it over, he found that the best way now was to ask Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping to come over and see if they had any solution.

Soon, he personally led people to Qu Yinfeng's house, and without any hesitation, he told her the situation directly.

When Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping heard this, their faces suddenly became very solemn.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with being driven out of the apiary, they did not want the apiary to disappear just like that.

So, without much thought, they nodded and agreed to go to the apiary with Xu Yuliang to check out the situation.

Not long after, when they saw the ground full of bees, they were shocked on the spot, and then hurriedly asked Ma Guifang and others what the situation was and what measures had been taken.

At this time, Ma Guifang and others did not dare to be arrogant with Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping, and immediately told them the corresponding situation in detail.

After hearing that Ma Guifang and others had tried all the disease treatment methods taught by Li Guoqiang, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping carefully checked the condition of the beehives and bees.

"How's it going?"

Seeing that Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping had not said anything, Xu Yuliang endured it for a while, but finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Can these bees be saved?"

Faced with this question, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping first looked at each other, and then shook their heads helplessly.

When Xu Yuliang saw this, he was shocked, and then he stared blankly at the bees all over the ground, as if he had lost his soul.

Although the affairs of the apiary are mainly the responsibility of Ma Guifang and other apiary workers, once the apiary is destroyed, his position as the team leader will be over.

He would even be nailed to the pillar of shame forever by the villagers.

After all, this concerns every household in the village, with their annual income of hundreds or thousands of yuan. If this is lost, the villagers will go crazy!
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Xu Yuliang shuddered all over, and then hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly ask someone to ask Grandpa Sun to drive to the county town and tell my Grandpa Fu about this, and then ask him to call Qiangzi and ask Qiangzi to come back quickly."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then soon someone turned around and ran towards the village.

Then, Xu Yuliang just took a breath and suddenly thought of something, and then hurriedly asked: "Well, how is the situation at the second apiary? Will there be such a problem again?"

"Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Guifang quickly replied, "Don't worry, I've been over there before, and there haven't been any problems like here yet.

It’s just that it’s hard to say whether it will happen next time.”

"." When Xu Yuliang heard that everything was fine at the second apiary, he immediately felt relieved. But when he heard what Ma Guifang said next, his heart immediately rose to his throat again.

If the second apiary is fine, then even if the first apiary is completely destroyed, he can at least hold on until Li Guoqiang returns.

And if the second apiary also experiences a large-scale death of bees, then he really wouldn't know what to do?

In that case, he might not even wait for Li Guoqiang to come back, and he would be drowned in spit by the angry villagers.

As the saying goes, sometimes the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

Just when Xu Yuliang was secretly hoping that everything would be fine at the second apiary, Li Xiuqin's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Oh no! Oh no! There are also bees falling to the ground and dying over at the second apiary."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and then rushed forward, asking about the situation.

However, Li Xiuqin was already out of breath from running and was unable to answer so many questions.

In the end, it was Xu Yuliang who pushed everyone apart and rescued Li Xiuqin.

"Xiuqin, you said that over at the second apiary, there were also bees that fell to the ground and died for no reason?"

"Correct!"

Li Xiuqin nodded, and then said anxiously, "I just found out about this and rushed over here."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the beekeeping area, and immediately saw the bees all over the ground. She froze there for a moment, and then she shouted in astonishment:
"No, haven't you figured out a way to save them? Are you just going to watch these bees die?"

She originally thought that with so many people in the apiary, someone would be able to find a way to solve this problem.

As a result, she didn't expect that among so many people, no one could think of a way to save the bees.

In this case, wouldn't it be soon before the apiary in Jinshanbao would be destroyed?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and her face gradually turned pale, obviously realizing how serious the consequences would be.

In the face of her questioning, whether it was Xu Yuliang or Ma Guifang and others, they could only respond with silence.

After all, this is not as simple as planting crops in the fields. Even if they think of some solutions, they would not dare to put them forward casually if they are not absolutely sure.

What if the condition fails to be cured and instead gets made worse? Wouldn't that make me the scapegoat?
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuliang looked around the beehive and found some more dead bees on the ground. He suddenly felt powerless.

At this time, both he and Ma Guifang and others deeply realized the importance of Li Guoqiang to the apiary.

If they could be given another chance, they would keep Li Guoqiang even if they had to beg on their knees.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed.

After a day and night of train travel, Li Guoqiang successfully arrived in Shenyang, and then immediately took a train back to Chang County.

As he kept getting closer to Chang County, the atmosphere in Jinshan Fort became bleak.

"How's it going?"

When Xu Yuliang saw Li Xiuqin coming back from the second bee farm, he immediately went up to her and asked expectantly, "Is the situation over there better?"

"without!"

Li Xiuqin shook her head after hearing this, and then replied with a heavy face: "Although the situation over there is better than here, those bees still die from time to time.

If the situation continues like this, sooner or later all the bees will die.

By then, we will have nothing.”

After saying this, her eyes couldn't help but become red.

Once upon a time, she was still proud and proud of being able to become the branch manager, and gradually realized the spirit that women can hold up half the sky. Even when she spoke at home, she unconsciously became much louder.

Sadly, all of this was soon gone.

When Xu Yuliang saw Li Xiuzhi like this, he was speechless for a moment.

Perhaps it was because he had heard too much bad news in the past two days, so his heart had become numb, and he even had a bit of a desperate attitude.

He was even prepared to be ousted.

As for asking Xu Guangfu to call Li Guoqiang and wait for Li Guoqiang to come back to save the situation, there has been no reply yet. I don’t know if Li Guoqiang received the message?

Even if he was attacked, it would take at least three days for Li Guoqiang to rush back from Sijiu City.

Judging from the current situation, he doesn't know whether the apiary can wait until that time.

Who knows, by the time Li Guoqiang comes back, the apiary may be completely hopeless.

Although Li Guoqiang is here, there will be a chance to run the apiary again in the future.

However, by then, it would have nothing to do with him, Li Xiuqin and others.

Thinking of this, his expression darkened, he sighed softly, then walked around Li Xiuqin and headed towards the beekeeping area.

The bees that were originally flying all over the sky had now become sparse. After watching for a long time, I couldn't see how many bees flew out of the beehive.

Even if they fly out, some of them will suddenly fall to the ground and slowly die.

Looking at the dead bees slowly appearing on the ground, Xu Yuliang felt indescribably depressed.

Originally, he was thinking that since he had become the team leader, he would do a great job in the future and lead his fellow villagers to live a good life that everyone would envy, so that he could be promoted to a leading cadre like Xu Guangfu.

Now it seems that there is no hope at all.

He even couldn't go home for fear that the villagers who knew about the situation would block his home.

If possible, he would rather not be the captain and not end up with such a bad reputation.

Just as he was thinking about how to give the villagers a satisfactory explanation, a very familiar donkey cart rushed into the apiary at lightning speed.

Afterwards, before the donkey cart stopped, Xu Guangfu hurriedly jumped off the cart and ran straight to the beekeeping area.
