Chapter 52: The Second Hole Divides the Hole

He Xiu personally wrote a notice and ordered Qiao Shenming to post it in the vending boards of the four city gates, and all of a sudden, the people of Qiman Town came to the chrysalis, surrounding all the grain shops of the Guan family, and all the timber shops were lined up early in the morning.

Qiao Shenming continued to go back to supervise the construction of the remaining farming tools, and when he left, he laid eyeliner around the Chang family according to He Xiu's instructions, and asked the Chang family to report any movement in time.

He Xiu stood alone in the center of the courtyard, looking up at the sky, and found that the warbler flying in the sky was foggy, blue and transparent, as if he could see through the Nine Heavenly Realms at a glance.

The family member who was in charge of spreading the word came and went, and conveyed what he saw to the temporary lord of the Guanfu, and everything unfolded according to his plan, and in the first day, he sold 300 farm tools and 30,000 denier seeds.

He Xiu told Guan Zhihe all these things, and Guan Zhihe looked at her with admiration and affection, and secretly made up her mind in her heart to confess to Guo Zhenxing and cancel the marriage contract.

"He'er, what are you thinking?" He Xiu asked as he watched her wander.

"Oh, He'er was thinking that Daddy would like you even more if he knew about these things. Guan Zhihe came back to her senses and took the initiative to snuggle into his arms and said.

He Xiu kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Don't worry, I will definitely cherish the opportunity to let your father change his original decision and dissolve your marriage." ”

"Oh my God!" Guan Zhihe looked at him in disbelief: "Brother He Xiu, how do you know that He'er is thinking about this?"

He Xiu's eyes were full of affection, and he said: "Because I can read He'er's eyes." ”

"Miss Qiyu, Master He, Bailing Mountain is on fire. ”

He Xiu immediately opened the door and asked about the specific situation of the family, who was also confused, just passed the word, only said that the matter was critical, and pulled up Guan Zhihe and beat the horse and ran towards the place of fire.

Before he turned over and dismounted, He Xiu saw a mountain full of fire, and the family members who came to put out the fire looked at the fire in despair, holding the bucket tightly.

Guan Zhihe leaned on He Xiu's shoulder, it was difficult to accept the facts in front of him in his heart, Qiao Shenming rushed over when the fire was about to be extinguished: "Brother He, He'er, as soon as I heard that there was a fire in Bailing Mountain, I quickly put down the matter in my hand and came over, how is the situation now?"

"Brother Qiao, the trees on Bailing Mountain have been destroyed in an instant, how should I explain to Uncle Guan?!" He Xiu looked at the thick black smoke, his eyes tightened, and he took more than five steps back in despair.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with Brother He Xiu, and no one can stop natural and man-made disasters. ”

Guan Zhihe was afraid that he would blame himself in his heart, so he ran away like last time, and immediately put his arm forward and comforted him.

Qiao Shenming also let out a long breath, let the family members who came to fight the fire disperse, and then said: "Brother He, what He'er said is very right, this is purely a natural and man-made disaster, you don't need to blame yourself too much." ”

He Xiu knew that the two of them were well-intentioned and persuaded not to increase the burden on themselves, but at present, a large amount of wood is needed to make farming tools, although the Guan family has other woods in other mountains, but they are all more precious wood, and it must not be cut down to make tools.

For a moment, He Xiu fell into a deep confusion, and when he heard Guan Kaihui's sigh thousands of miles away, he sat on the ground with one butt, pulling the hair of his sideburns with both hands, and roaring in his heart.

Qiao Shenming didn't have much persuasion, and after saying goodbye to Guan Zhihe, he left silently.

"Brother He Xiu, something has happened, we should face the reality, what do you say?"

Guan Zhihe's eyes blinked gently, and she took small steps to his eyes, squatted down, and comforted him with paleness.

After the time of the three incense sticks passed, He Xiu rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, shook his head awake, and his eyes reappeared excited: "Yes, you are right, I want to face it bravely like a man." ”

He Xiu pulled Guan Zhihe to stand up: "Let's go, let's face it together." ”

Guan Zhihe saw him cheer up, the haze on his face dissipated, and he jumped on his back playfully: "I want Brother He Xiu to carry He'er up the mountain on your back." ”

"Haha, good!"

He Xiu took a big stride, carefully searching for suspicious places along the way, the ashes after burning had already submerged his knees, and suddenly the spring breeze blew, and the black wood ash was rolled up, and the two squinted their eyes and walked against the spring breeze.

When the spring breeze blew, He Xiu's steps had already taken about 100 meters, Guan Zhihe saw that his face was like black ink, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother He Xiu, your face is like charcoal on the ground, hehe." ”

"What did you say?" He Xiu turned his head suddenly: "You repeat what you just said!"

"Ah...... I...... I mean, Brother He Xiu, your face is covered in black ashes. ”

Guan Zhihe thought that He Xiu was unhappy when he heard this, so he changed his words, He Xiu showed two rows of white teeth, and said eagerly: "No, you mean charcoal, yes, it's charcoal, haha." ”

"Brother He Xiu, I'm sorry, He'er shouldn't have said that about you. ”

Guan Zhihe pursed her thin lips and begged him for forgiveness pitifully, but He Xiu's face was full of excitement, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly saw a tree swaying wantonly three hundred meters ahead.

"He'er, look," He Xiu tilted his head, "and there's a cypress tree in front of it?"

"Haha, it's really, Brother He Xiu, hurry up and carry me over to take a look. ”

Guan Zhihe shook his legs happily on his back, and couldn't wait to check it, He Xiu's heart was in the same mood, and he quickly came to the tree with his spirits.

Guan Zhihe jumped down from his back and looked up, "Brother He Xiu, this tree looks like a peach tree, why did you say this tree was not burned by the fire?"

He Xiu measured the width of the peach tree, and roughly guessed that it was thirteen or fourteen years old, and Guan Zhihe's question was exactly what he wanted to know, so he squatted down, cut away the thick ash with his hands, and dug deep with his sword.

Guan Zhihe quietly watched as He Xiu had dug a half-human-high pit, but he couldn't see its roots, He Xiu jumped on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead; "Strange, it stands to reason that the roots of the peach tree are not so deep." ”

"Brother He Xiu, don't worry about this, let's go back and ask Mr. Sha quickly. ”

"No, don't let this happen to anyone just yet, He'er, you wait a while I try to dig down and see. ”

He Xiu jumped down the pit, and it took nearly a stick of incense to make the pit two people high, and a white bluestone appeared at the bottom.

"It's strange, how can the roots of the tree grow on the stones, He'er, do you want to see where the roots of the tree grow?"

He Xiupan sat on the ground and rested, feeling depressed in his heart, and suddenly thought that the old nest of the double spirit leopard was below, so he proposed to Guan Zhihe to go to the cave together.

The old nest of the pair of spirit leopards, He Xiu had long been familiar with the road, and pulled Guan Zhihe into the first hole, the smell was still the same as before, and the nostrils were full of dust.

He Xiu lit the torch prepared in advance, jumped up, and landed at the opening of the first hole in the upper left part, raised the torch to the highest, carefully checked the top of the hole, and then flew down to the top of the inner part of the hole on the right, and also raised the torch to the highest view, and when the torch burned to nearly half, he still didn't find the answer he wanted in his heart, and Guan Zhihe also came to this hole last time, and felt that there was no freshness, and shouted to go to other holes to see.

He Xiu jumped down, took Guan Zhihe's hand, and walked towards the second hole, about ten meters or so, a faint fragrance of peach blossoms entered the nostrils of the two, Guan Zhihe couldn't help but close his eyes and breathe heavily.

Holding the torch high in one hand and Guan Zhihe in the other, He Xiu's eyes looked around, and judging from the fragrance of peach blossoms he smelled just now, the root of the peach tree should be here.

"Brother He Xiu, look at it, wow, it's so beautiful!"

He Xiu also raised the torch to watch, only to see the densely intertwined roots, forming more than thirty root nests like honeycomb nests in the top part of the hole, each staggered root was full of dazzling peach blossoms, and each nest was hanging on the top of the cave like a vine melon.

Looking at it from the bottom, each nest seems to be deliberately intertwined, and those blooming peach blossoms fall petals, which fascinate the minds of the two for a while.

As He Xiufei went up, Guan Zhihe also bounced to follow, and she saw that each nest could lie down with the heads of six adults.

He Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the roots, these interlaced roots were penetrated from the white bluestone to the bottom, and his heart said, the peach tree above was only a dozen years old, how could its roots grow so long, and it grew so dense, everything in this world is really wonderful.

Guan Zhihe lay down in each nest like a child discovering a castle, "Brother He Xiu, how about we come to this place to meet in the future?" ”

He Xiu didn't answer, thinking in his head, although he had been here many times, but he didn't finish reading the five holes every time, today was just an opportunity, and he was pulled out by curiosity, Guan Zhihe was reluctant, and was dragged away step by step.

When he saw the third hole, Guan Zhihe broke free from He Xiu's pull, and jumped into it with a torch, this hole is the most familiar to He Xiu, he didn't plan to go in, but seeing his beloved running in alone, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and chased after him.

"Wow, Brother He Xiu, there is a shallow bay here, hehe, He'er can't imagine that there are such unbelievable things here. ”

Guan Zhihe happily threw a small stone into it, and suddenly there were ripples, sparkling under the light of the torch, and she believed that what He Xiu said while lying on the bed that day was not an illusion.

"But why don't they have a nest in here?" Guan Zhihe asked, looking at the upper part of the hole.

"I don't know about this, okay He'er, let's go to the fourth hole to have a look, maybe it's more fun there." ”

He Xiu was anxious to know the situation in the other two holes, so he picked up Guan Zhihe and ran out.
