didn't listen to the old man's words and suffered a loss in front of him, Wang Junyi quickly washed off the fluff on the peaches, and then put it to his mouth.
As soon as he tasted it, he immediately spit it out and covered his cheeks.
Well, if you want to know what peaches taste like, you have to taste them with your own mouth. He tasted it, it was really sour and bitter, and his mouth was full of wood.
"How is it, it's enjoyable, right?" Seeing his miserable appearance, Liu Daode laughed.
The man didn't say a word, he went directly to the pressurized water well, pointed his mouth at the pressurized well, rinsed a few mouthfuls of water, and then sucked a few times and said: "I, this peach tree is planted in strings, it's so sour, it's bitter!"
"I don't know if it's skewered or not, it's really delicious, and I'm waiting for you to pick it. Liu Daode responded with a smile. It wasn't one or two people who were pitted by the peach tree in their own yard. In fact, it is not a pit, I usually practice under the tree, this peach tree more or less inhales a trace of aura, and the fruit produced is not called a spiritual fruit, but it also has the effect of strengthening the body.
It's a pity that its taste is sour and bitter, and ordinary people can't enjoy it.
"Here," Seeing the squirrel next to him squeaking around him, Wang Junyi directly handed over half a peach.
I originally thought that such a bitter and sour thing, the squirrel definitely didn't catch a cold.
I never thought that the little guy would take the peaches, smash them, smash them, and eat them with relish.
"It's strange, this thing is not afraid of sour, there are so many peaches on the tree, why doesn't it eat on the tree?" asked Wang Junyi puzzled.
"That's because it's afraid of foodies in the trees," Liu Daode knows well. Although the foodie didn't do anything about the little ash, the little guy was always afraid of it and didn't dare to climb the peach tree at all.
It is precisely because of this that the peach of his own tree can be preserved until now, otherwise it would have been eaten up by Xiao Ash long ago.
This peach Liu Daode is not not for squirrels to eat, of course, he needs to wait until the peaches are completely ripe, and the peach pits are still of great use.
Wang Junyi poured himself a cup of tea, and also learned Liu Daode to lean on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You still have a beautiful life this day, carefree all day long, don't worry about anything, not a fairy is better than a fairy!"
Speaking of which, it is not one or two people who envy Liu Daodao's life. He'd heard something like that too many times, and he was already a little immune.
After two cups of tea, Wang Junyi felt that the heat in his body had completely subsided, so he took a scene in the courtyard as usual and took a few photos. Only then did he refuse Liu Daodao's stay and returned to the village.
After half a day of sun exposure, the village became busy in the afternoon.
Without being greeted, Liu Daode automatically went to the village to help. I didn't think that as soon as I arrived at the ground, I saw Wang Junyi holding a camera and shooting there.
"I said, what are you shooting, don't you just harvest wheat with a harvester, what's there to see. Liu Daode said hello and asked.
"You don't understand, 'The world is not lacking in beauty, but in the eyes that find it'. Don't you see the harvest scene beautiful?"
"Yes, you shoot slowly, I'll help," Liu Daode said, grabbing the sickle and helping to cut the wheat on the edge of the field.
The field is next to the ditch, and the driver is afraid to drive the harvester into the ditch, so he usually leaves room at the head of the field. The wheat had to be cut by hand and thrown into the ground for the harvester to break.
Wang Junyi took a few photos on the road, but he didn't feel like it, so he rushed into the plot with his camera.
Just took a few photos or two, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Liu Daodao, you hurry over and see what rare things I found?"
"What...... Quail nest?" Liu Daode walked over with a sickle.
"No, you'd never guess. It's an aquatic animal, and there are aquatic animals in this wheat field!!" Wang Junyi's face was extremely excited, as if he had discovered something great. It looks like it's no different from Columbus's discovery of the New World.
"Aquatic animals, turtles?" Liu Daode said again.
"Ah...... Have you seen it before?" Wang Junyi's expression on his face suddenly became depressed. He thought he was the first to find it.
"I've seen it, it was common when I was a child, and I rarely see it now. Liu Daode approached, and sure enough, he found a turtle crawling slowly along the wheat stubble, looking in that direction, it should be running towards the river.
The brown tortoise shell, with a beige vein, is no different from the tortoises in my memory. If you want to say different, it's a little smaller.
"No, don't you think it's strange? It's so far away from the river, how can a turtle appear in the wheat field on a hot day?" Wang Junyi still felt a little strange about this.
"Isn't it strange that turtles and turtles all lay eggs on the shore?" asked Liu Daode rhetorically.
"Laying eggs, you say turtles lay eggs in the wheat field......"
"Otherwise, do you think, could it be that they are still dating? It's not unusual, we have a saying here called 'Catch a turtle in the wheat field - nine out of ten,' and that's what we're talking about. Seventeen or eighteen years earlier, there were only a lot of tortoises in the wheat fields at that time. Every year when it was time to cut the wheat, it was also the time for the turtles to lay their eggs, and we often followed the adults behind the buttocks to pick up the turtles and eggs.
If you're lucky, you can pick up five or six turtle eggs in the morning and pull half a bowl of turtle eggs. At that time, the turtle was also large, at least seven or eight taels, and the big one was more than two catties...... Later, it didn't work, and the village planted cotton, applied chemical fertilizers, and applied pesticides. Tossing back and forth, for a few years, there will be no turtles in the wheat field. It's a surprise to see it now...... But it's a pity?"
Liu Daode didn't brag, there were so many turtles in the reservoir when he was young. When the weather is warm, there is a long line of turtles on the side of the river embankment, all of which come out to breathe and warm.
When I go down to the river to bathe, I often guess something slippery without paying attention, and I dive a fierce child to catch it, which is either a turtle or a large snail shell.
In fact, at that time, there were not only turtles, but also many turtles.
A few years earlier, that's more than one. In the words of the older generation, in the early years, the turtles crawled everywhere in the nearby ditches, and whenever it rained, they could catch half a basket by walking around.
However, at that time, basically no one ate it, and according to the saying in Shannan Town, the old turtle turtle is a hair object, and it is easy to grow lumps in the stomach if you eat too many of these two things.
A fire head more than a meter long, a yellow eel with a thick arm, and a large carp with a flat shoulder...... In short, there used to be fish everywhere, and the people in the village vomited when they ate fish.
In addition, on the mountain behind the village, jackals, tigers and leopards, wild boars, rabbits, roe deer, these are not rare things.
Now, after only a few decades, everything has changed. This kind of glorious scene, Liu Daode only listened to the memories of the old people.
Wang Junyi didn't know that he was thinking so many things in his mind at this moment, so he just asked puzzledly: "What is a pity?"
"When the wheat is harvested and the surroundings change, the tortoise can't find a place to lay its eggs. This nest of eggs is probably wasted, so I'll take it back and put it at home to see if it can hatch. As he spoke, he released his divine sense, and soon found a faint breath of life somewhere in the nearby ditch
