Chapter 45: Ruins
Chapter 45: Ruins
"How long has it been since anyone came?" Li Junge muttered to himself as he followed the path into the forest.
The ground was rich in humus, overgrown with all kinds of ferns, and the dogs disappeared at once, and only the movement of arches in the grass could be seen, which was that they were searching and advancing.
"Haha, it's a great place to practice your nose, your eyes are bad here. Li Junge was heartlessly happy.
This group of dog breeds is really good, although they are excited, they don't scream, they all quietly enter the village, and don't shoot.
The trees in the forest grow thin and long, and all the trees are striving to grow upwards and compete for the precious sunlight here.
Some of the trees are entangled with vines, the thickness of which has caught up with their hosts, and the leaves are still dripping.
Many old trees and vines are covered with moss, and parasitic plants such as dendrobium grow on the trees.
Picking open a wet stump, a swarm of termites crawled out in a hurry.
The forest was gloomy, and Li Junge felt a chill coming, and hurriedly beckoned the dogs to go forward.
After burrowing out of this forest, I finally came to the edge of a bush, which was much drier, and the ground was full of shrubs such as beech, rhododendron, wild gardenia, and yellow wattle, and the roots of the shrubs were all moss, and a thick layer of old leaves was spread around the trunk.
Li Junge saw several paths of wild things at a glance.
Follow the trail to extend the line of sight to the stream, and sure enough, there is a green lawn, which is good forage for herbivores.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Li Junge caught a glimpse of something, and an earthy yellow head emerged next to a stone in front of him, and he looked at it there.
It was a hare, not small.
The boss of the subordinate dog was excited, I am so arrogant, I don't know if we have been looking for you for a long time?
The eight puppies barked and threw themselves up.
The big hare's legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient, and he limped, turned around and ran into the bushes.
Yo he dared to run, and a group of subordinate dogs suddenly exploded, consciously dispersed, and began to outflank.
However, the rabbit was very cunning, and seeing that the boss was about to rush behind him, he immediately changed direction to the side of his body.
The boss rushed over his head all of a sudden, and the evil fire in his heart was rising up, damn it, this guy is too cunning!
The rabbit changed directions, looked at the second child who had already outflanked him, and rushed straight over.
When the second child saw that this guy dared to rush at him, he was very excited, and now the credit belongs to me!
The result was a little bit worse, the rabbit braked in front of the second child, and the second child's two front paws pressed into the clearing.
Damn, this is not scientific! The second brother is also evil in his heart, why doesn't this guy have inertia?!
The rabbit shook its head and continued to limp up the slope into the woods.
The old atmosphere is broken, hurry up and call the younger brothers and sisters to gather in a big circle, come on, come on, let's keep the formation good, yes, Xiao Wu is good, plug the front for it, well, okay, start to shrink the encirclement, hehe, that's it, this crippled rabbit, now see how you can escape.
Seeing that the encirclement is about to close, the subordinate dogs are happy and miserable, there are many people and great strength, or the boss has rules, and the march and war still have to come like this, so that the little soil in the mountains knows that our subordinate dogs are powerful.
At this moment, the legs and feet of the big hare suddenly returned to normal, and in an instant, he accelerated his speed, broke out of the encirclement with a swish, and disappeared into the forest with a puff of smoke!
it! The eight puppies were confused together! What happened to this rabbit? Why did the legs and feet suddenly get better?
Li Junge laughed down the ground, hahaha, this is so funny! Hurry up and beckon the puppies to come back.
Looking at the forest in the distance, the eldest took his younger brothers and sisters, reluctantly returned to Li Junge's feet, and lay on the ground.
We don't have a high profile!
"Hahaha!" Li Junge held his belly and laughed wildly: "You little fools, you really think it's a lame rabbit, right?"
Take the puppies to the stone, there is a hole under the stone.
"Look, this is the rabbit nest, there are rabbits in it! The female rabbit just lured you away, do you really think you have picked up a soft persimmon? Hahaha, hey, laugh at me!"
Damn! I was teased! The boss looked angrily at the direction where the big rabbit disappeared, and beckoned his younger brothers and sisters to abandon the rabbit nest.
"What are you doing, what are you doing! The big one is not grasping and preparing to take the small one out of anger?" Li Junge hurriedly stopped, this time he entered the mountain to train his legs, and he had to be familiar with the environment.
"Well, everyone's performance this time is still very good, and after suffering a few losses, we know how to exert the power of the group, which is commendable!"
Then he touched the boss's head again and said: "Very good, I know that the tactics of directing the younger brothers and sisters to outflank each other are very appropriate! It's just that the enemy is too cunning, I don't blame you, just come back next time!"
A few small fish were caught from the space, and a subordinate dog fed one, and the subordinate dogs became happy and continued to bounce around Li Junge and walk forward.
It wasn't until noon, through several forests, that Li Junge came to the edge of a ruin.
The ruins are in a clearing, and there are two old lychee trees behind them, the trunks of which are already empty, and there are a few branches and leaves, and it seems that they are not far from natural death.
Li Junge has been secretly here a few times over the years, and he has never seen it bear fruit.
These are a few abandoned houses found by Li Junge when he ran the mountain many years ago, the roof has long been decayed, and now only a few stone walls remain.
Since he had space, Li Junge had long wanted to build a few rooms in it, mainly thinking that there might be a lot of things to put in it in the future, and it would be better to have a warehouse or something, and precious things like the Bibo Jade Dragon must be protected, and it would be miserable if they were caused by disasters such as chickens and ducks.
The main purpose of this entry into the mountain is to collect this ruin into the space.
I don't know if it was a mountain people's house or a temple and Taoist temple in the past. The few remaining stone walls of the ruins are made of green stone blocks.
At that time, the craftsmanship of the people in the barn was quite good, and the stone wall did not collapse, only the gate had a large span, because the door frame was rotten and collapsed.
Walking into the stone wall from the collapse, several turtledoves flapped their wings and flew out in shock.
Wild grasses have grown on the ground, and some vines have climbed in from the former windows.
At this time, the Taiji stone on Li Junge's neck began to heat up again.
"Damn, there is a baby again?" Li Junge was pleasantly surprised, the benefits brought to him by the discovery of the orchid last time were too great, and there was a piece of ebony lying in the space spiritual spring, which was expected to be a treasure.
"It's a good look, you can't miss it. Li Junge sent the subordinate dog to the open space outside and searched for it in the ruins.
This time, the Taiji stone pointed unclear, and when it was outside the ruins, it pointed to something in the house, and after coming in, it lost its direction again.
I looked up and down the ruins of several houses, and dug in the house with a shuttle stick for a while, but found nothing.
"It's weird, where the hell is this thing?"
Looking at the cobwebs at the junction above the corner of the wall, Li Junge thought seriously while pulling the tip of the spear of the shuttle stick on the stone on the wall, making a pleasant jingling sound.
Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" sound in his stomach.
"Forget it, bake a few potatoes first and fill your stomach! I'll look for it later!" Li Junge thrust the shuttle stick into the ground, preparing to go to the door to move a few stones to build a stove pit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the green stone, the heat of the Taiji stone disappeared.
"Damn, is the stone of this wall a treasure?" Li Junge was surprised.
Looking carefully at the stone in his hand, the green one is quite beautiful, but to say that it is a treasure like the orchid and ebony that he has ever found, no matter how you look at it, it is not qualified.
I found a few more pieces, and found that there was no difference, that is, some of them had some small yellow dots on them, one by one, like a stone eye, and some of them had some yellow filamentous patterns, which were not too peculiar.
"Anyway, he has to receive it in the space, so let's just get it first. ”
Li Junge was now energetic, and the potatoes were no longer baked, so he directly began to collect these stones.
After a while, only one foundation remained in the clearing.
The goal was achieved, and he got this pile of stones that he didn't know where to go, Li Junge was still very excited, and simply led the subordinate dog down the mountain and went home.
When I got home, I saw that it was not early, and it was almost time for my grandmother and parents to come back, so I hurriedly lit a fire and cooked.
Cooking dinner came out of the kitchen, and the sky was red.
Just as they were about to cool off, the elders came back, and my mother helped my grandmother to walk in front, and my father was carrying a large bag of things in the back, sweating all my head.
Li Junge hurriedly ran up to pick up the bag and asked, "Why did you come back so late? The sun is about to set." ”
Dad said: "Isn't this that Yu Ning and Yu Duo are still in school, and grandma waited for them to get out of school and came back after meeting." ”
Li Junge said: "Don't rush back. It's just a phone call. ”
Dad said, "Don't you have a big mess here!" I want to come back early to help. ”
The old mother said, "And your grandmother can't get used to living in the city, so we'll come back." Besides, it's convenient now, you can go whenever you want, and you don't want to be greedy for this day and one night. ”
Passing by the pond at home, my mother said again: "By the way, your brother said that now that the boat is open, he will come to our house to catch fish in a few days, and said that the fish in our pond can be sold as river fresh." Why are there so many lychee seedlings on the edge of this pond, how can there be big and small?"
Li Junge said: "Isn't it a trip to the mountain today, I found two old lychee trees, and there are some small seedlings next to them, so I moved them down, by the way, there are a few big ones that are estimated to be able to set fruit, and I have got them all in the pepper eggplant field." ”
Grandma smiled and said, "Silly boy, where is the old lychee in the mountain with the current variety! Moving down the mountain is not enough for wages, otherwise why wouldn't anyone move the old trees in the mountain? ”
Lychee grafting is a new technology, by grafting branches of other varieties, lychee can be replanted, and the branches grafted from old fruit trees can flower and bear fruit in two or three years.
There is also the technique of high branch striping, which can grow lychee roots on the branches, and then cut off and move into the soil to grow into a lychee tree independently. Such lychee trees can also bear fruit in four or five years, and like grafting technology, they are all artifacts for farmers to expand their production scale.
Li Junge said with a smile: "That's okay, it's a big deal to plant it as a stake head, and it will be grafted for them next year, and besides, the lychee tree is so beautiful, and it will be a greening tree in the city when it is bigger." ”
But I was secretly snickering in my heart, and when you see those magical lychees next year, you will probably be reluctant.
