3. Chapter 3 Magical Green Liquor
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
He slammed the hoe many times, but the vial on the ground was still the same, not to mention broken, not even a crack, but Luo Xu was so tired that he was panting, and he stared at the gray vial on the ground with the hoe.
What is this thing, how can it have such a strong hardness?
He was a very curious person, and the hardness of the small porcelain vase was beyond the scope of his cognition, so he was interested for a while, and thought that he would take it back for research, so he picked up the small porcelain vase again and put it in his trouser pocket.
I worked in the fields until dark, and then I returned home with my hoe. Zhao Hui prepared a table of good dishes, and was about to send Luo Gang to the field to call him back for dinner. When he entered the door, he immediately warmly beckoned him to sit down for dinner.
In the afternoon, Luo Gang came back and told his daughter-in-law Luo Xu's decision to go outside, Zhao Hui knew that Luo Xu was leaving, but she was a little reluctant, so she asked Luo Gang to go to the town to drink and buy vegetables, planning to treat Luo Xu well, which can be regarded as practice.
"Sister-in-law, it's all my favorite food! Haha, it's still my sister-in-law who loves me. Luo Xu smiled and rubbed his hands.
Zhao Hui saw that he was smiling, and a big stone in her heart had just landed, and she was really worried that Luo Xu would hate her for the words she said at noon.
"What about our father?" Luo Xu didn't see his father.
Luo Gang said: "Our dad went to the city for a medical visit, and the car that came in the evening picked him up, and it is estimated that he will not come back tonight." ”
The two brothers chatted while drinking, Zhao Hui was stir-frying in the kitchen, and after a while, a few dishes were served.
"Sister-in-law, it's just the three of us, where can we eat so much, don't be busy, you can come and eat too." Luo Xu beckoned Zhao Hui to take a seat.
Zhao Hui took off her apron, and as soon as she sat down, she put a chopstick dish in Luo Xu's bowl, "Second brother, drink less wine and eat more food." ”
"Sister-in-law, I'm in my own house, are you still afraid that I won't be polite? You eat by yourself, don't starve my eldest nephew. Luo Xu also gave Zhao Hui a chopstick dish.
The atmosphere was joyful, and everyone was very happy with this meal. Zhao Hui offered to give Luo Xu some money to take outside to use, but Luo Xu refused.
After dinner, Luo Xu washed his clothes next to the water tank. When he came back from vacation before, Zhao Hui basically washed the clothes for him, but now that Zhao Hui is pregnant, it is inconvenient to squat, so he washes it himself.
When he was washing clothes, Luo Xu remembered the small porcelain bottle in his pocket, and after washing it, he put the small porcelain bottle on the writing desk in the room. After the clothes were washed, Luo Xu took a shower, and after taking a bath, he went back to the room, sitting next to the desk and playing with the small porcelain bottle.
He looked at the light carefully, whether it was the feel or the texture, the bottle looked like it was made of ceramic, but the hardness was much stronger than ordinary ceramic products. He observed the tiny pits on the bottle, and for some reason, suddenly thought of the pores on his skin.
There was a cap on the mouth of the bottle, and Luo Xu tried to unscrew the cap, although it was very laborious, but he still unscrewed it. As soon as the lid is opened, a breath of freshness overflows from the bottle, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed. After working for a long time, my already tired body suddenly felt relaxed again.
Luo Xu squinted and observed the inside of the vial, only to find that there was some green liquid in the bottle. He thought maybe the bottle had been sitting too long and there was moss growing inside.
The desk is leaning against the windowsill, and there is a pot of cactus on the windowsill, which has not been watered for a long time, and it is exposed to the sun every day, and it has wilted a few times, and it looks like it is about to die.
"Come, give you some water. Who called you a cactus, you can't drink too much, or you will lose your strong vitality. ”
Luo Xu stood up, leaned forward, and poured the green liquid from the small porcelain bottle into the pot where the cactus was raised. When he had finished pouring the water, he took the vial out and washed it, and when he had washed the inside of the bottle, he could no longer see anything like moss.
Back in the room, he put the small porcelain vase on the writing desk, ignored it, opened a book and began to read. At ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Xu yawned a few times, thinking that Ming'er would get up early to hoe the grass, so he closed the book, turned off the light and went to bed.
The tiredness of the day was exchanged for a deep sleep at night, and within a few minutes of lying down, Luo Xu fell asleep. Luo Gang and his family went to bed earlier, and there was no light in the entire Luo family's courtyard.
The moonlight is like water, spilling through the window on the writing desk. In the middle of the night, the small porcelain bottle standing silently on the desk suddenly seemed to be alive, and the pits on the bottle were like small mouths, one by one, actually swallowing and breathing.
Some white points of light began to appear in the surrounding air, revolving around the bottle, like clouds and mist surrounding the mountain peaks, as if they were a little unwilling, but in the end, they were invariably sucked into the bottle.
Luo Xu, who slept soundly, didn't notice this magical scene at all, and with the sound of his gentle breathing, the small porcelain bottle absorbed more and more points of light. It seemed as if he had eaten and drunk enough, and it took two hours for the points of light to disappear and the pits on the bottle to close again.
The next morning, as soon as Luo Xu woke up, he saw the abnormality, his eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly rubbed his eyes, and was even more surprised after confirming that he was not mistaken.
Overnight, the cactus on the windowsill turned from a half-dead state to a vibrant state, grew a lot, and not only that, but also bloomed a small yellow flower.
He was stunned, got out of bed and walked to the windowsill, as an intellectual who has never believed in ghosts and gods, at this moment, except for the gods and ghosts, Luo Xu couldn't find any other reason to explain the strange state in front of him.
"Something ...... the hell"
As soon as he lowered his head, the small gray-white porcelain bottle on the writing desk came into view, and Luo Xu suddenly remembered the little green liquid that had been poured into the cactus basin last night.
"Is it ......?"
The ghost made a god worse, and Luo Xu didn't know why he would associate the mutation of the cactus with the liquid in the small porcelain bottle. He picked up the vial on the table, unscrewed the cap and looked at it, and immediately shook his hand in fright and threw the vial in his hand.
"Hell!"
Luo Xu's pupils constricted, his breathing was short, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he took two or three steps back, staring at the vial that fell to the ground. He remembered clearly, he brushed the inside of the vial clean last night, but just now when he unscrewed the cap, he clearly saw a little green liquid in the bottle, this is not something wrong!
It took him a while to compose himself, and he gradually approached the vial, eventually picking it up again. Luo Xu thought about it calmly, if it was really the green liquid in the small porcelain bottle that caused the cactus to mutate, then this thing he picked up might really be a treasure.
Thinking of this, Luo Xu was anxious to verify the guess in his heart, put the small porcelain bottle in his trouser pocket, and went to the field with the hoe.
It was early in the morning, and there was no one in the field. Luo Xu found a place where no one was and took out the small porcelain bottle, preparing to pour the green liquid inside on the roots of a tree to see if the tree would change.
After thinking about it, he felt that the tree was too big for the effect to be obvious, so he decided to find another experiment. After looking for a while on the slope of the ditch at the edge of the field, Luo Xu finally decided to make a solid meal with the wild strawberries on the slope of the ditch.
In the summer, this wild strawberry can be found everywhere in his hometown, and the fruit is small, only the size of a soybean kernel. Luo Xu unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the liquid from the bottle on the roots of the wild strawberry.
He originally wanted to make a mark near this strawberry or something, so that he could come and look for it tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, if the liquid in the small porcelain bottle was really magical, then when he came to check it tomorrow morning, this wild strawberry would be completely different from the wild strawberries around him, and he would be able to recognize it at a glance.
The work has been done, the next thing is to wait patiently for the results. After hoeing grass for a day, there is only one acre left of the ten acres of land at home without hoeing, and it can be done tomorrow morning by working another morning. In the evening, Luo Xu took a bath and went to bed, lay on the bed and read a book, saw the highlights, he was not sleepy at all, and he didn't feel sleepy until he saw more than twelve o'clock, and then he closed the book.
I turned off the lights and was about to go to bed, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt as if something was shining in front of me. Luo Xu opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned, the small porcelain bottle placed next to his head was changing, and the pitted places on the bottle body were all moving.
"Oh my God!"
Sleepy for a while, Luo Xu trembled excitedly, and stared at the small porcelain bottle without blinking.
"Could it be ......" He had a bold guess in his heart, and he wanted to verify it immediately, but he was afraid that his actions would make the scene in front of him disappear, so he waited patiently.
It took two hours for the small porcelain vase to return to normal. Luo Xu hurriedly turned on the light, observed the changes in the bottle, and found that the appearance of the bottle had not changed at all. He unscrewed the cap to test his guess, and sure enough, there was more green liquid in the bottle.
"It turns out that this is how these liquids are produced, so that the liquid in this bottle is not inexhaustible. ”
Luo Xu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, he wished it would be dawn immediately, once he confirmed that the liquid in the bottle really had the effect of promoting plant growth, he knew what to do next!
I didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the sky was bright, Luo Xu got out of bed and left home with a hoe. It was almost at a trot all the way to the slope of the ditch yesterday, and the light was dim, and it was not until he got close that he noticed the change in the wild strawberry.
"Damn! It's a wild strawberry!"
Every fruit on this wild strawberry has grown to the size of a pigeon's egg, perhaps because he has been prepared in his heart, Luo Xu did not seem too excited, but his heart has actually turned over the river and the sea.
For the future, he is finally no longer at a loss.
