Chapter 046: Old Trees, New Branches
The sheep landed, Wen Xu put his heart back in his stomach, as for whether there is less Wen Xu, he just wants to care, now is not the time to care, Wen Xu himself does not have the ability to climb this cliff to count the sheep! So after yelling at the sheep twice, Shi Shiran walked back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When he crossed the hill and was about to go home, Wen Xu remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't done here, the big hogweed or something had to be dealt with, and now that everything has been released, the quantity is huge enough, just relying on these weeds and broken trees on the hill to feed so many pigs, sheep and chickens, if the days can last for a long time, I have to gnaw on this small hill!
Thinking like this, Wen Xu turned his head to the top of the hill again, climbed for more than half an hour, and when he reached the top of the hill, Wen Xu entered his own space, pouted a piece of turf, and threw the grass and the ground outside. During this period of time, Wen Xu can be regarded as having appreciated the power of this space grass, and the infection is not called long, it is called crazy! Until now, Wen Xu has not found a way to grow new vegetables.
The soil shoveled out of the space was broken, and the grass and mud were covered with about a square of land, Wen Xu scooped out a big spoon of water in the tripod and poured it directly into this more than square place, and scooped three spoons in and out of the empty space, before watering this square area thoroughly.
Wen Xu put the water scoop back into the space, waiting to observe the growth of the grass in this square area, and sure enough, as Wen Xu expected, within this square meter, the grass was watered by the space water and immediately looked like a wheat seedling that was dialed high, and after a while, it grew to the height of Wen Xu's calf, and the grass that grew so tall no longer grew up, and began to 'spread' around, and the eye-to-eye effort had been 'dyed' green about four or five times the area.
The space grass is like a 'plague' to the surrounding area, after these guys grow luxuriantly, let alone the big pigweed, even some deep-rooted shrubs have begun to wither, Wen Xu quickly walked to the edge of a large pigweed that grows thick, and shines a strong flashlight on it, ready to carefully observe how such a nasty thing was killed by the space grass.
Looking at the space grass seedlings slowly poked their heads out of the ground, these grass seedlings just leaned on the big pigweed plants, these big pigweed stems have begun to color, some of the leaves also have yellow spots, as the grass seedlings grow past the feet, the leaves of the big pigweed began to wither, and when the grass grows past this piece, the big pigweed has not yet died, but it seems that it will not live long!
Wen Xu was very unhappy that he didn't die, so he went directly into the space again, scooped up more than ten scoops of water with a water scoop, and poured it through each place about a hundred steps apart, until he saw that the big pigweed stem nearby was folded with his hand, and the big pigweed stem that had lost the moisture of the plant made a crisp snap and broke, Wen Xu put the scoop back into the space with satisfaction, and rushed to his old house with a snap.
Back at the old house, it was early in the morning, and the whole village was plunged into darkness, and occasionally a few clever earth dogs could be heard babbling.
I opened the courtyard door, went into the house and turned on the electric light, even if the light was not bright enough, and because the voltage was a little unstable, it flashed and flashed, but because the house was all re-plastered with white ash, the house was still brighter than before, I don't know how many times.
The furniture in the house has also been reorganized, the paint that should be painted, the wood that should be replaced, the whole old house almost seemed to be reborn after Wen Xu threw out almost 40,000 yuan.
The biggest change comes from the sanitation system, Wen Xu is a person who is used to enjoying it, how can he bear the smell of the old-fashioned thatched hut that used to squat, let alone go to the toilet, even when he stands on the edge of the old thatched hut, he can vomit when he smells the smell of dung. place
In order to supply the toilet toilet, a washbasin and a large bathtub were warmed with a set of oil-fired boilers, a well was drilled to make a hidden water tank, and of course, the most important thing was a modern septic tank ten meters behind the house.
Because this matter has not been discussed by many people in the village, some people still say behind their backs that Wen Xu is a blind person, but Wen Xu just laughed when he heard it.
Wen Xu believes that with the subtle development of his side, the people in the village will definitely want to change their lives and hygiene habits after they have a better income, and what he is doing now is to tell them: although they are in the countryside, they can still live like this!
Wen Xu glanced at his masterpiece, and just wanted to turn around and close the door to sleep, when he saw the old jujube tree pole in the courtyard, and the black pestle looked very lonely in the night.
Staring at the old jujube tree in the courtyard, he walked into the courtyard after looking at it for a while, raised his hand and gently touched the trunk, feeling the roughness of the bark.
This year, the old jujube tree has not seen germination until now, and the people in the village say that the old tree may be dead, Wen Xu was busy here for a while and didn't care about this matter, and now he saw the craggy branches, and the old figure of the old jujube tree remembered this matter.
"You're going to die, I have no other way, I have to find someone to plane you, if you don't die, I'll water you a little, I hope it works for you, no matter what, I hope you can live" Wen Xu said and patted the trunk of the old jujube tree, and then went into the space and scooped a scoop of water out and watered it around the roots of the old jujube tree.
After watering the old jujube tree, Wen Xu returned to the house, boiled water, and took a beautiful bath, climbed into bed and hugged the quilt for a while before falling asleep.
Sleeping in a daze, Wen Xu heard someone calling his name loudly, it was really sleepy, so Wen Xu covered his ears and prepared to continue sleeping, who knew that the sound outside was getting louder and louder, Wen Xu had to sit up from the bed.
"Who the hell is this, early in the morning!" getting up makes Wen Xu feel very bad now, the first thing he does when he sits on the bed is to scold, it is estimated that if someone standing next to him can't stop talking, Wen Xu will immediately cut people directly.
Sitting on the bed and muttering a few words to himself, Wen Xu opened his hazy eyes and looked around, through the gap in the curtains, Wen Xu saw that the sky outside was already bright, but I don't know if it was cloudy or what, there was no sign of the sun.
There were still people outside, and some people couldn't stop saying something, and the chaotic Wen Xu didn't understand it all at once, maybe it was the double-glazed windows of the house renovation that played a role, weakening the decibel of the sound outside.
Stepping on the slippers, Wen Xu walked through the door, came to the door and gently pulled open the wooden latch, squeaked open the door, and instantly swept into the bright light in the room, so that Wen Xu, who had not fully awakened his eyebrows, immediately closed his eyes.
"Shixu, Shixu, hurry up and open the door!"
"Uncle Xu, open the door, open the door!"
When the people outside the courtyard saw Wen Xu open the door, they immediately shouted again.
"What are you doing, why don't you sleep so early in the morning and block my door!" Wen Xu opened his eyes while shouting outside the courtyard, and before he finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth and looked at his courtyard in amazement.
The old jujube tree that was still dead yesterday is now covered overnight, and the entire canopy almost covers the small courtyard tightly, with a piece of young leaves, hanging with morning dew, green and crisp with infinite breath of life, swaying in the morning breeze. The original old branches have been completely invisible, hidden in the thick leaves and deep branches, the original dry old tree stems, you can also see a faint water stains, a small scar can still be faintly seen on the pale yellow sap.
The tree is alive, not only alive, but also alive! Miraculously, overnight it is full of green leaves and pulls out new branches!
"There is a spirit in the heavens!" an old voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.
"The old jujube tree is alive! Ancestors bless!" This time, there was a little cry in the voice of the speaker.
"The ancestors don't blame me," a man sat on the ground with a whimper, holding his hair and crying loudly like a child.
The crowd outside the courtyard began to respond to the words of these old people, and the villagers only now realized that this old jujube tree had a different meaning for themselves, especially those old people, seeing the old jujube tree that exuded vitality overnight, and the sixty-year-old people almost all had tears in their eyes.
For them, maybe this is not just a tree, but also the kind of regret hidden deep in their hearts, hating that they were young because of impulsiveness, hating that they were encouraged to distinguish between right and wrong, burning their own ancestral halls and destroying their ancestral shrines without distinguishing between black and white. Now that I am aging day by day and approaching death, I will think of the ancestral hall buried in the flames from time to time, and I will regret it until I can't sleep at that moment.
The old people don't say, but almost all the old people are superstitious in thinking that the old jujube tree does not bear fruit, this is the punishment of the ancestors for their disrespect, otherwise the old jujube tree that has survived for hundreds of years, why the ancestral hall is destroyed and does not want to bear fruit again, it must be the ancestors who blame themselves for these unworthy descendants, thinking that they have done the sin that makes their descendants unworthy of their blessing.
When they were young, they didn't think about it at all, but as their bodies approached the end of the oil lamp day by day, the anxiety and shame in their hearts, and the fear in their hearts, with the passage of time and health, also slowly increased.
It is difficult for the young generation who are completely Western-educated to understand this point and the feelings of these old people.
For these old people, it not only represents the reappearance of the life of a jujube tree, but also represents the ancestors' understanding of themselves, even if it is not understanding, it is also a new pity for their children and grandchildren, and they are willing to let future generations taste the fruits they planted.
Outside the courtyard at this time, there was a cry as the old people took the lead, and Wen Xu, who was standing in the courtyard, was in a mess of his whole mind, and there was only one thought in his mind: Fuck!
The old jujube tree has lasted for hundreds of years, in fact, it is not easy, it was ready to withdraw from the historical stage of Wenjia Village, who knew that Wen Xu's scoop and a half of water was poured, and it was immediately resurrected with full blood as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, not only resurrected with full blood but also lived more demonic, which was not subject to the estimation of slashing and axe It is estimated that there is no problem at all if you live for another thousand years.
Wen Xu subconsciously thought about how to explain this, and when he came back to his senses and heard a cry outside the door, a group of big white-bearded people beat their chests and said that they were not, and felt that they were also crooked.
Thinking of this, Wen Xu walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the latch to let the crowd in. Who knew that as soon as the door opened, no one dared to raise their feet and dare to come in.
Wen Xu was stunned for a while, and when he saw the white-haired old man, the third brother of the grandfather's family came in with tears in his eyes, and knelt down as soon as he entered the door, kowtowing and howling: Ancestors, Shiguang knows that it is wrong and other nonsense.
Then Wen Xu was swept aside, and a few white-haired old brothers knelt seven or eight, and as soon as the old man knelt here, the people outside the door also knelt, and as a result, he didn't have a minute outside the door, and there was no one standing except Wen Xu.
Wen Xu was stupid!
Seeing that the second brother Wen Shigui gave him a look, Wen Xu had no choice but to reluctantly kneel down, and said in his heart: This thing is done, the things I got out of myself have put myself inside, and I want to kneel on a tree now!
