The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 280: Giant Walnut

Li Shiyun and the others rolled their eyes when they saw Ling Feng acting like this!

He looked as if he had never seen the wider world before!

"Qian Qian, let’s go somewhere else and look around, see if we can find any good stuff?" Li Fei’er turned her head and said.

"Okay, let’s go!"

Xun Qianqian, who had grown up in the forest since she was a child, had a special affection for the mountains and forests and was particularly skilled in finding forest goods there. Seeing Ling Feng holding onto the agarwood as if he couldn’t let go, she immediately felt a bit competitive.

"I will definitely find something better than this!"

So she grabbed Li Fei’er’s hand and was about to leave, but Li Shiyun quickly said, "Don’t go too far, and if you encounter any danger, call out immediately!"

"Got it!"

Xun Qianqian nodded, and she and Li Fei’er walked deeper into the forest.

By this time, Ling Feng had already drawn his short dagger and was sizing up the agarwood tree, unsure where to start.

This tree, not known for how many years it had been down, was already dry and cracked. Although it looked unremarkable, the scent unequivocally proved its value.

"Start from the top, just chop off a few of the thinner branches," Li Shiyun suggested from the side.

"As you say!"

Ling Feng, carrying the short dagger, took a few steps forward and with a few swishes, cut off three branches as thick as an arm, as if slicing through tofu.

The two of them took the branches back to the entrance, just about to turn around and look for Xun Qianqian and the others, when they heard a shout from the woods: "Ling Feng, come quickly!"

"Uh-oh!"

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Feng panicked instantly and dashed into the woods!

Li Shiyun also felt a bit uneasy. Although she wasn’t as fast as he was, she still immediately gave chase!

When they arrived deep in the forest, Ling Feng saw Li Fei’er and Xun Qianqian standing perfectly fine under a tree!

"What’s wrong?"

Still tense, Ling Feng asked.

"Look what it is!"

Li Fei’er pointed ahead with her little hand and said.

Following the direction she pointed, Ling Feng glanced over and was immediately stunned!

It was a very large tree, with a trunk so thick they probably couldn’t embrace it even if all four of them joined hands!

Looking up, he saw the tree was very tall and covered by the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees, so its crown was not visible.

Ling Feng turned back: "Isn’t it just an old tree? Nothing to be amazed about, you gave me a fright!"

Xun Qianqian looked at him: "You don’t recognize this tree?"

"Now that you mention it, it does look familiar. It doesn’t seem like an ordinary tree, what is this?" Ling Feng asked.

"I can’t believe you, you grew up in the village. It’s a walnut tree!" Xun Qianqian said with a face full of speechlessness.

Only then did Ling Feng understand, and he looked back carefully: "You’re right, it really is!"

He grinned sheepishly and turned back: "There are no walnut trees in Shiliu Village, I’ve only seen a few in the mountains, so it’s normal not to recognize it, haha!"

"This tree is huge!"

Xun Qianqian didn’t dwell on it any further. She stepped forward, reached out to touch the robust trunk, and turned to ask, "Shall we go up and take a look?"

Ling Feng and the others were all stunned, showing faces of surprise!

"The tree is so tall. From up there, we might be able to see the whole forest, and besides, there should be walnuts up there!" Xun Qianqian said.

The suggestion was good, and Ling Feng nodded in agreement: "Okay, let me go up, you guys wait here!"

Xun Qianqian pouted her lips, "No need, you’re not necessarily better at climbing trees than I am!"

Having said that, she turned around and lightly leaped up.

The tree trunk was thick, but precisely because of that, there were many dry and broken pieces of bark jutting out. Xun Qianqian became like a monkey, using her hands and feet to climb up over ten meters in a flash.

Ling Feng and Li Shiyun looked up, and after a moment, her figure disappeared amid the dense foliage above.

"Be careful, just take a look and come down!" Ling Feng reminded.

"Got it!"

Xun Qianqian responded, and then there was no more sound from her.

A few minutes later, she shouted from above, "Be careful, I’m going to throw something down!"

Ling Feng was startled and quickly pulled Li Shiyun and Li Fei’er to stand close to the trunk of the tree.

As soon as they had taken position, whooshing sounds were heard as some heavily felt objects passed through the branches overhead and fell into the leaves on the ground.

"Okay, you all take a look first, I’ll be down in a bit!" Xun Qianqian said.

Before Ling Feng could move, Li Fei’er stepped forward quickly, picked up the objects on the ground, and her eyes widened in wonder, "What are these?"

In her small hand, she held a greenish spherical object and sniffed it under her nose but could not detect any particular scent.

"These are walnuts, just unusually large ones," Ling Feng replied.

Ling Feng picked up one as well and examined it in his hand.

"Walnuts? As big as coconuts?" Li Fei’er asked in astonishment.

"What’s so strange about that, now that we’re here, it’s not strange to see anything!" Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders.

Then he looked up and shouted loud, "Qian Qian, are there many walnuts on this tree?"

"Plenty of them, thousands!"

Ling Feng chuckled, "That’s great, even if we can’t sell them for money, keeping them to eat is pretty good, these must be very nourishing!"

Li Fei’er, having never seen walnuts freshly picked from a tree, tilted her head and asked curiously, "How do you eat these?"

"Wait a second."

Ling Feng said, pulled out his Short Dagger, and swiftly peeled off the walnut’s outer skin, revealing the white hard shell inside.

Though peeled, the walnut was still larger than an ostrich egg; Ling Feng couldn’t help but laugh, "I’ve heard of people playing with walnuts as a hobby, wonder what their reaction would be to seeing such large walnuts, how would they handle them?"

While speaking, he easily cut through the outer shell, exposing the walnut inside.

At that moment, a prompt appeared in his mind: "Jade Walnut Kernel, containing nature’s spiritual energy."

Ling Feng paused, his eyes revealing a look of surprise, "This really is something good!"

The white walnut kernel looked crisp and tender, emitting a fresh scent. Ling Feng broke off a piece and passed it to the already impatient Li Fei’er.

She took it without hesitation and popped it into her mouth. After one bite, she immediately exclaimed, "It’s delicious! So sweet!"

Ling Feng then handed a piece to Li Shiyun before taking a piece for himself to taste.

Indeed, the rich flavor came with a hint of sweetness, and eating it made one feel refreshed and even fulfilled.

The three of them sat under the tree, savoring the walnut kernels, when they heard rustling sounds from above. Looking up, they saw Xun Qianqian climbing down.

"Here, try it quickly; we’ve really found treasure this time!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

"It’s just a walnut, albeit a large one, what kind of treasure could it be?"

Xun Qianqian was unimpressed and took a bite, finding it tasty but not particularly exciting.

After all, it wasn’t what she was hoping for; she had been looking to find something of higher value!
