The tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Set the table to worship the ghosts and gods.

When Ying Xiaochuan was eating, he received a call from Hongzhong. There was no contact for more than half a month, and this person suddenly appeared, Ying Xiaochuan intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he pinched the phone, and after washing the dishes, he got up and went to the balcony to call Hongzhong back.

"Boss, is it convenient for you to speak now?" asked Hongzhong in a low voice.

"It's convenient. Ying Xiaochuan glanced at Fan Shulan's figure walking towards the bathroom and said, "What's the matter with the fish pond?"

"The fish pond is fine. ”

"And your call?"

The four demons won't contact him if they're fine.

"Do you remember the batch of fruit trees planted in the back mountain?"

"Remember, what's wrong with the fruit tree?"

"It blew up last night. ”

Ying Xiaochuan took the speculum mirror and changed his hand, "What did you say?"

"In the past few days, the big fruit that bears fruit on the fruit tree has been shaking, shaking, and we feel a little strange, so we sent someone to guard it. As a result, last night, the whole area around the fruit tree exploded, and the whole area behind our house was scorched. Boss, the big fruit is restless, it will blow up again, I don't know when it will be fried next time, what can I do?"

Is the fruit going to be fried? Could it be that the big fruit that has absorbed all the essence of the fruit is going to be ripe?

The more Ying Xiaochuan thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately made a decision, he would rush back to Jincheng early tomorrow morning!

In the evening, he told his mother about the situation, and used the school as an excuse to block it, Fan Shulan naturally did not doubt him, and helped Ying Xiaochuan pack his luggage that night.

Early the next morning, Ying Xiaochuan took the earliest bus and went to Jincheng.

……

At half past one in the afternoon, Ying Xiaochuan dragged two suitcases, one large and one small, and appeared in front of the bus stop sign halfway up the mountain.

Hongzhong waited there early on his improved tricycle, and when he saw Ying Xiaochuan, he smiled and said, "Boss, I've been waiting for you here for an hour, but I can count on you coming." ”

"Why did you come down so early, didn't you tell you the time?"

"I'm fine if I'm idle anyway. ”

He got out of the car and carried Ying Xiaochuan's suitcase into the car, and as soon as Ying Xiaochuan sat in the back of him, Hongzhong stepped on the car and slowly went up the mountain.

On the road.

Ying Xiaochuan asked about the situation for nearly half a month.

"How's it going on the mountain?"

"Okay, I handed over most of the work to the fish pond to a few of them, and I got started quite quickly. ”

"Didn't go back for the New Year?"

"I didn't go back, they said they wouldn't go back if they didn't earn any money. ”

Ying Xiaochuan said: "Didn't you give each of them a New Year's fee of 5,000?"

"That's enough. Hongzhong pedaled on the tricycle, the wind blew his cheeks, and a pleasant voice came, "Don't look at them without any heart, one goal is quite clear, do you know how much money they are going to save before going home?"

"How much?" Ying Xiaochuan has a ride or not.

"One person, one million!"

Ying Xiaochuan came back to his senses, sneered, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, I think it's okay." ”

……

One person and one demon went directly to the back mountain.

Ying Xiaochuan saw the fruit tree, and the fruit tree grew a little amazingly. It is so strong that all the nutrients of the surrounding soil are sucked up by it, turning into dry and pine loess, except for the soil under its feet, which is black and moist. The root of the fruit tree is thick and long, and at first glance it looks like this is a more than ten years old tree, with lush fruit leaves, dazzling green, and lush.

The fruit wrapped in the middle was tender and bewitching, and it was the size of three basketballs, more than twice as large as the last time Ying Xiaochuan saw it.

That's only about 20 days of work......

"What does it eat and grow so big?" Ying Xiaochuan wondered.

"We don't know, Facai pours fairy water every day, and it is only recently that I found that it grows faster and faster, almost every day. ”

Ying Xiaochuan took a few steps closer when he heard this, and was suddenly attracted by a pile of large and small corpses under the roots of the tree, and said in surprise: "What are these?"

Hongzhong scratched his head and replied in embarrassment: "This is the animal carcass that it sucked dry." ”

"What?" Ying Xiaochuan said, "Why didn't you tell me that it eats these?"

"Because we all think it's probably going to be fine. Top dog...... This kind of thing is quite normal for us youkai, but it needs a supply of nutrients...... It's unconscious when you absorb it!"

Ying Xiaochuan was full of black lines, "Then these animals ......"

Hongzhong hurriedly said: "These animals it eats are all unattained spirituality, and they are still chaotic things. ”

When he said these words, Hongzhong looked a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look at Xiaochuan with his eyes, for fear of being blamed.

Ying Xiaochuan reacted, crying and laughing: "No, I don't mean to condemn, uh, why don't you accept these corpses?"

Hongzhong touched his nose and said weakly: "It has a big temper and doesn't allow us to get close." ”

"Gotta figure out what the hell this is. ”

Ying Xiaochuan looked up at the bottom of the tree for a while, and found out that the rhizome of the fruit was hidden between the leaves, he squinted, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it out of thin air, and the Lingshuang Sword appeared firmly in his palm.

"Boss, boss?" Seeing this divine sword, there was fear in the red face.

Ying Xiaochuan tilted his head and said: "Hongzhong, you step aside, I will cut down this fruit and see what it is." ”

"Hmm!"

Hongzhong retreated to safety, Ying Xiaochuan pulled out the Lingshuang Sword, jumped up, and swung the sword to chop the fruit!

Click......

The fruit tree shook in an instant, and Ying Xiaochuan felt that the sword body had not yet touched the fruit, and it was blocked by an invisible force.

This force is strong and domineering, forming a barrier to contend with him. A sneer appeared at the corner of Ying Xiaochuan's mouth, and he said proudly: "Since I raised you, don't want to be my master!"

As soon as the words fell, he swung his sword hard. The Feather Sword slashed at the barrier, cutting a gap directly.

Suddenly, the world changed dramatically. Black clouds came over and swept in from the sky. After a moment, the sky was dark, and the top of his head seemed to be crossed by a thick ink.

There was thunder and lightning hidden in the black clouds, and the blue-purple thunder and lightning coiled in the black clouds hideously, making a terrible sensational sound of 'click'.

The red face on the side was colorless, "Boss, big, this is heavenly thunder! Run!"

Ying Xiaochuan did not have the natural fear and awe of the demons for the heavenly thunder, he looked at the black clouds that came from the top, indifferently, the wind rolling up on the flat ground lifted his clothes, and his footsteps did not move from beginning to end.

"Boss!!" Hongzhong's voice can be said to be miserable.

Ying Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't feel its hostility." ”

The hostility here refers to the thunder overhead.

Hongzhong gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't leave, and stayed by Ying Xiaochuan's side.
