Small Farmer Medical God novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: A Disease Beyond Cure

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s emphatic inquiry, they glanced at the ginkgo tree and shook their heads!

"I didn’t notice anything."

"Me neither."

"Nor did I."

They often came here to dine but indeed had not noticed any difference from before.

Receiving such a unanimous response, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei pressed further, "So, none of you observed anything at all?"

As soon as Hu Xiaobei finished speaking, a man with glasses stood up, "Wait a minute, let me take a closer look. Each time I came here for a meal, I always snapped a photo of the ginkgo tree first! Let me find them and take a good look now."

While saying this, he took out his phone and began searching through the photos he had taken.

The others took notice and crowded around.

Hu Xiaobei, Ling Xin’er, and Ling Keke also moved closer...

Seeing so many people approaching, the man with glasses grew slightly nervous.

Noticing this, Hu Xiaobei reassured him, "It’s fine, don’t be nervous."

"Okay!"

Heartened by Hu Xiaobei’s reassurance, he nodded, quickly opened his album, and began flipping through the photos one by one.

Everyone watched along, but after a full cycle, no one spotted anything different.

"All of you didn’t see anything?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s rhetorical question, instead of responding, they determinedly flipped back to the first photo and started viewing them again.

At that moment, Ling Keke took a closer look and suddenly spoke up, "I’ve found something."

"I think I’ve noticed something too!"

Following Ling Keke’s lead, Ling Xin’er also softly spoke up.

...

Hearing their words, Hu Xiaobei laughed, "Tell me, what did you find?"

The two exchanged glances and said in unison, "The color of the leaves. The color has changed in these photos!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked very carefully once more.

Quickly, they all noticed that indeed there was a change; the leaves on the ginkgo tree were getting softer with time.

"This kind of change should be normal, right?"

"Yeah, exactly!"

"I think so too!"

Murmuring to themselves, they couldn’t help but take a few more looks. They thought it was natural for the ginkgo leaves to change.

...

"You’ll soon find out this isn’t normal!"

With a cheerful tone, under everyone’s gaze, Hu Xiaobei walked underneath the ginkgo tree, quickly grasped one of its branches in his hand, and chuckled.

After a light laugh, Hu Xiaobei gently shook it.

The next second, everyone’s eyes widened, for as Hu Xiaobei lightly shook it, all the leaves started falling off. Soon, every single leaf on the branch had fallen...

"How... how is this possible!"

Everyone was in disbelief.

They knew that ginkgo tree leaves only fell off after turning completely yellow.

"Big brother Xiaobei, what... what’s going on?"

Hearing Ling Keke’s question, Hu Xiaobei laughed lightly, "Pick up the leaves and take a look, and you’ll understand."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s mysterious words, Ling Keke and the others quickly bent down to gather the fallen leaves...

After a thorough examination, they realized that although the leaves appeared normal, the veins of the leaves had started to wither...

Seeing that everyone had noticed the issue with the veins, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Ginkgo trees can live for a long time, but quite often, they encounter problems. They are now facing a serious one, and within a week at most, all the leaves will have fallen off, and then they will completely decline and die."

"This..."

Everyone gasped in shock!

Liu Yun quickly walked up to Hu Xiaobei...

He looked at Hu Xiaobei with a nervous whisper, "Xiaobei, is... is this ginkgo tree really going to die?"
