A small plot of land in a mountain village

This... all the leaves on this tree have fallen, and the weeds are covered with fallen leaves.

Zhang Niu's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't understand why the spatial water, which usually worked very well, wasn't working this time. Could it be that the tree god had really left, as that person had said? It was utterly absurd.

Zhang Niu stood with his hands stuck in his messy hair, looking at the bare tree trunk in front of him, as if he had turned white overnight. It was hard to believe that this was real.

"You didn't use this folk remedy yesterday, did you?" the fat man asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I was just muddying up in the water, who knew it would turn out like this overnight? I still can't figure it out," he said, rubbing his hair in frustration.

A lot of light white snowflakes fell.

This cost 80,000 yuan. The fat man wanted to witness the banyan tree's miraculous revival, but when he came over in the morning, he found the banyan tree completely bare.

At first, the fat man thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it must be a dream. But when he realized that there were piles of leaves under his feet, he knew it wasn't a dream.

"Don't rush, now that this has happened, think about where the problem lies in your earthwork!" Chairman Zhang immediately remembered the important point.

"But my earthenware method is basically correct. I didn't use it all last time, so the configuration can't be wrong." Although Zhang Niu said this, he was thinking back to yesterday, wondering if he had made a mistake.

The fat man frowned. "That's strange. The earthen floor is right, but all the banyan leaves fell off overnight. That doesn't make sense. At most, half of them should have fallen, not all of them, leaving the tree bald like this."

"Could it be that you didn't use enough soil, so it didn't work well when mixed with water, causing a counterproductive effect?" Chairman Zhang thought in that direction.

You're taking medicine, but the dosage is too low, and you're still getting sick? That doesn't make sense. But Zhang Niu didn't say it aloud, "Maybe! There might be such a possibility."

After Chairman Zhang's explanation, could it be that the medicinal effects of the space water are too weak to match the previous effects, or is it that the pond has expanded into a lake, causing the corresponding effects to gradually fade?

If the lower space doesn't work, how about I try using the space water from the upper stream? We've had no problem drinking tea brewed with space water ourselves, this is really troublesome.

"Then I'll prepare another batch today and see if it's because this batch is too small. I hope so too. I bought it for 80,000 yuan, so it won't end up being used as firewood."

"You'd better keep quiet, or you'll really be chopped into firewood," the fat man joked, looking at the bare banyan tree.

"Hopefully the earthmoving will be better this time," Chairman Zhang muttered to himself.

Seeing all the banyan leaves fall overnight was quite unexpected, especially since this banyan tree had only been bought and planted a day ago.

Zhang Niu was in a low mood early in the morning, something he never expected would happen.

After breakfast, Zhang Niu came to the banyan tree and picked up a handful of fallen leaves. He noticed something different about the fallen leaves; the leaves from other shrubs still had color.

But the leaf in my hand had lost its green color and seemed somewhat heavy, as if the leaf had suddenly dissipated, leaving only this leaf.

Zhang Niu stared blankly at the leaf in his hand, thinking it was a good thing, but who knew it would turn out like this? Nevertheless, he still had to test its effect with the space water from the upper level.

Now, this last hope rests on the lake.

Otherwise, the 80,000 yuan would be wasted, and we would lose face completely.

Back in the courtyard, I went into the space, took out two buckets of stream water from the upper space, carried the buckets to the banyan tree, and carefully watered it.

If the amount is too small, I'll make a few more trips and carry a few more buckets. I'm not worried about the amount being insufficient. I'll feed this banyan tree enough at once, and it will quickly sprout new buds.

It was just a simple little request; I secretly prayed to all the gods to bless me.

"Make sure to fill it up properly this time," the fat man passing by said with a smile.

"That's right, this time it'll definitely be enough, maybe it'll be fine by tomorrow," said Zhang Niu, who was carrying a bucket and burying his head in watering the plants.

Looking at the few leaves still remaining on the tree, if they fall off again, there's no hope; it's impossible to tell if the tree will ever sprout again.

After making four trips, my arms are starting to ache. It's quite a distance from the courtyard to here. Carrying water buckets like this is indeed quite tiring and strenuous.

I let out a few breaths, hoping that tomorrow would be as I wished.

When you have something on your mind, time seems to pass very slowly. You don't even notice the dust kicked up by passing cars, because the road leading to Happy Little House is all concrete, so there's not much dust.

But once we turned onto the side path, it was all dust, and the roadside weeds were completely buried in it. It was clear that the dust was coming on strong, and even the weeds couldn't withstand the attack.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Niu was already standing in front of the banyan tree in the morning without Fatty and the others calling him. However, he was disappointed again today, as the few remaining leaves on the tree had all fallen.

Could it be that the spatial water is truly useless? Or is it simply ineffective against the banyan tree itself? He began to ponder this. This whole situation was far too strange.

"Still no effect?" These past few days, the construction team has been working, and there's the sound of traffic every morning. Chairman Zhang naturally goes to bed early and gets up early, and the construction team does indeed start working early.

Zhang Niu said with a wry smile, "It's still the same. I've noticed the tree trunk has changed color. Did you notice?"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhang moved closer and indeed, as Zhang Niu had said, the tree trunk had become much lighter in color than yesterday. If Zhang Niu hadn't pointed it out, it wouldn't have been noticeable for a while.

When I first arrived, I only noticed the banyan tree and couldn't quite put my finger on what changes had occurred. It turns out the tree's color has changed. Yesterday it was losing leaves, and today the tree's color is starting to change as well. I guess it's close to withering away.

"It seems this tree is doomed," Chairman Zhang said with a hint of regret. It's a banyan tree worth 80,000 yuan; what a pity.

Zhang Niu himself couldn't believe it. He had only bought the tree two days ago, and it had already changed so much. He guessed that even Fan Ming hadn't expected the banyan tree to change so quickly.

At first glance, you might not even recognize it; the bare banyan tree is nothing like the one that was transported there.

"How's it going? Is the tree doing well today?" the fat man asked as he ran over.

Zhang Niu shook his head weakly. "This tree is probably beyond saving. It's all over now."

"Is there really no other way? I was hoping to enjoy the shade under this tree in the future," the fat man said with dissatisfaction.

The fat guy was calculating things like crazy. He was supposed to be cooling off, but he was more like drying human flesh. Judging from the current situation, he probably wouldn't last more than a few days before he withered away.

Looking at the banyan tree makes me sad, so I might as well leave. The more I look at it, the more my head aches.

The lone banyan tree, bare and solitary, is quite a sight in Happy Abode.

The construction team could see the changes in the tree. Everyone said it was a pity about the banyan tree; it was so tall, and it would be so cool to be under it in the summer.

In the blink of an eye, it'll be burning like firewood.

It's regrettable, and Zhang Niu himself is also very frustrated. The contrast is really huge; all his confidence has vanished.

He had assured everyone that planting the tree would be absolutely no problem, but now his boast had backfired. Sigh! He sat in the pavilion and sighed a few times.

Unexpectedly, I've become more and more prone to sighing. It seems there are many problems, and they're not easy to solve, no wonder everyone is sighing.

Only now do I truly understand that feeling; it's a bittersweet experience.

Lying in the rocking chair, gazing at the green lotus leaves and the blooming red petals, attracting many bees to swarm around and perch on them.

After the lotus blossoms, there are lotus pods. As the saying goes, "emerging from the mud yet remaining unstained," the lotus certainly has its proud side. Looking at the lotus made Zhang Niu feel much better.

Looking at flowers and things can indeed relieve stress. Although Zhang Niu didn't have much stress, it was still a pity that the banyan tree couldn't be planted, and 80,000 yuan was wasted.

With his eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep, Zhang Niu was actually pondering what other way there might be to bring the dead back to life. He figured if he relaxed, maybe he could come up with something.

Red, green, and the blue of the sky filled Zhang Niu's eyes. Colors, colors. Everywhere was filled with the colors unique to nature.

A sudden thought struck him, and he sat up abruptly. Wasn't there a seven-color pattern swirling around his space? He connected the surrounding objects to the seven colors in his space.

Last time, I accidentally touched the seven-colored leaf and grew five centimeters taller. The blue phoenix ate the leaf and fruit, but changed its appearance.

All of this demonstrates that the potential contained within these seven colors is immeasurable. If this were applied to a tree, who knows what unexpected changes might occur.

But as soon as this thought crossed my mind, another problem arose.

These seven-colored leaves will merge into your body if you touch them, and eventually return to dust. This is a difficult problem. Should I move this banyan tree inside?

Moving it is relatively simple, but I can't replant it myself. I'm afraid that when I come out tomorrow, everyone will see a fallen banyan tree, which will be a real problem.

I finally came up with a solution, but then a difficult problem arose. It's tough! This problem is indeed difficult. Besides this problem, there's also how to get those seven-colored leaves.

The outer layer of spikes—I tried to cut them with a machete when I went inside, but I couldn't. It was really frustrating. This is an even more troublesome problem than the one before.

Gently rubbing his temples, Zhang Niu was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, trying to figure out how to solve these problems. It was really frustrating.

Squeak! Zhang Niu pricked up his ears and heard Little Dot's voice. He looked outside and saw Little Dot leading two little brothers—Little White Rabbits—chasing after the cat in front of them.

The little cat was clutching a small bamboo stick in its paw. It's unclear where it got it from. It was excitedly waving the stick around, occasionally glancing back. *Purr*

Upon seeing the little one, Zhang Niu immediately recalled how the last time the little one gently swung its sharp claws, causing the seven-colored leaves to fall and settle into its claws.

If it weren't for the little one's appearance, I wouldn't have been able to come up with this scene so quickly.

He rushed outside and grabbed the little guy who was still acting tough.

The little bamboo shoot in its paws naturally fell to the ground, and could only wave its paws to vent its dissatisfaction, thinking, "Why the hell did you grab me?"

"How about you help me pick some seven-colored leaves? Just a few will do," she said softly to the little one.
