Chapter 174: The Real Iron Tree
Li Chen looked at the tight surface of the opening, and he could imagine how dense it was!
Li Chen, who was observing this opening, heard his mother's words ringing beside him: "Son, you get out of the way first." ”
Li Chen asked, turned around and looked at his mother suspiciously.
I saw her raise her arm, and she was holding a woodcutter in her hand and brandishing it, saying, "I'll try if this tree is really that hard!"
Looking at my mother's movements, and then at Ye Jingting and Father Li next to me, Li Chen's face was full of black lines, "Hey, Mom, you move smaller." ”
"Don't worry, your mother and I have been using a firewood knife for decades, and it won't hurt you. ”
"I'm afraid that you will hurt the people next to you!" Li Chen reminded her.
"Huh?" Mother Li turned her head and looked at both sides, looking at the two people not far from her, and immediately put her hand down, afraid of hurting Ye Jingting.
"Mom, why don't I come?" Li Chen also wanted to see with his own eyes if it was really that hard!
I don't know if Mother Li is interested in this tree or what, so she glanced at Li Chen and said, "Why are you coming, give me a place." ”
Li Chen walked away helplessly, and reminded: "Mom, Dad said it's very hard, don't cut it raw, take it easy." ”
In some inconspicuous little things, Mother Li has always liked to work against Father Li, Li Chen was afraid that she would not have any strength at once, and she would be jumped on the wrist when the time came.
"I know, your mother and I know it, don't worry. ”
Li Chen, who heard this, was full of black lines, and he didn't know if he inherited his father, why did both of them like to say this, and it had the effect of making people even more uneasy.
In the expectant gaze of Li Chen and Ye Jingting, the gloating smile of Father Li, and the unknown reason of several animals, the machete slashed at the opening.
Listening to the sound of "bang", the knife was bounced open, and a little scum fell from the opening, but it was only a little bit.
Li Chen looked at the machete that had fallen to the ground, and couldn't help but cover his face.
Thankfully, Mom's hand wasn't sprained, and they stayed out of there.
stepped forward, picked up the machete, and said helplessly: "Look, they all said that you should take it easy." ”
"You also educate your mother, isn't it!" Mother Li glared at Li Chen fiercely, and then said stupidly: "I didn't expect it to be really hard, harder than a golden thorn!"
Harder than a golden thorn?
The golden thorn Li Chen still knows, the real name is Zhemu, it is golden yellow inside and out, and the appearance is covered with golden hard thorns, which can be five to ten centimeters long!
One of its major characteristics is that it is hard! There is a pungent smell after cutting, but it will dissipate after a while, according to the Internet, it is a good material for car beads.
The disadvantage of it is that it grows slowly, well... Generally hard trees generally grow slowly, and it takes at least ten years to reach a thickness of 10 centimeters!
But Li Chen looked at this peach tree with a diameter of almost half a meter, and it had only grown for less than two years!
And listen to what my mother said, this is harder than a golden thorn, so even if he doesn't have to do anything in the future, as long as he goes to find some high-value seedlings and comes back, and plants them for a year or two, then it's not a few million minutes or so?
Then he threw this idea out of his mind, the first is too dazzling, and the second is that his ability has not yet reached this level!
It is better to have this ability than to plant small plants such as ginseng, which is easy to hide and not too eye-catching.
Just as Li Chen was thinking, a shout called back Li Chen's thoughts.
I saw a small dot running down from the tall trunk of the peach tree, which was a ferret.
But looking at its bulging belly, I knew that I didn't eat less last night, maybe it wasn't Mother Li's felling that woke it up, and it was still sleeping on a certain tree trunk!
Li Chen suspected that even if the fruit thief came, he wouldn't know it, and even if he knew, the current appearance would be a difficult thing to do.
When it came closer, Li Chen reached out and grabbed it in his hand, raised it in front of him and asked, "Did you find anything last night?"
I saw it staring at two big black eyes, and shook its head cutely.
Seeing it shaking its head, Li Chen didn't bother to ask, it is estimated that it was all in good spirits, even if there was any movement, he didn't notice it.
You remember the first time we met, it was like this, as long as you could drink spiritual water, you were about to do anything. If you encounter something better than spiritual water, how can you pay attention to any movement, as long as it doesn't threaten it.
…………
Li Chen looked at the branch that had already been opened, and simply got it down, otherwise it would be dazzling. A 'Virgo' like Li Chen, it's okay not to know, but it's good to know that things must be perfect.
Holding a machete close to the branch, he gently cut the opening with the edge of the knife, except for the shock that came back, there was no debris at the opening, which made Li Chen feel like he had been cut to iron, hard.
After trying the position, he controlled his strength and cut down again and again, and the rhythmic sound of "Bang, Bang, Bang......" sounded in the orchard.
With every hand up and down, it brought up some debris and fell, well... A little more than Mother Li cut with all her might.
When he saw the heart of the tree, it was even more difficult to shake, if he hadn't known that it was wood, Li Chen would have thought that this tree was an iron tree watered by molten iron!
During the time when Li Chen was cutting down the tree, Father Li and the others had already left to pick fruits after watching for a while, and with Father Li and the Great Sage picking, it was enough for the people below and the cats and dogs to be busy.
There were only two parrots accompanying Li Chen, but what did it mean to stand at the end of the chopped branch and whisper?
Li Chen seemed to see the two parrots laughing comically.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, he broke through the heart of the tree, which was only about three centimeters, and Li Chen's hands were also numb from the shock.
It took a long break to chop off the rest.
After Li Chen cut off the leaves and small branches, he lifted the trunk, which was no thicker than seven or eight centimeters and three or four meters long, and it was really heavy!
Looking at the sleek golden section, it is a good material for carving!
After fiddling for a while, Li Chen looked at the peach tree that had been cut down and nodded with satisfaction, at least not the heart-piercing opening.
——————
After picking two baskets full of fruits and a few baskets of fruits, today's task is completed, most of which are apricots, early-ripening pears, peaches, mangoes, plums and other ripe fruits from June to October.
The two baskets of fruit naturally had to be picked by Li Chen, and it was estimated that Li's father, who often drank spiritual water, would not be able to pick it up.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when they got home, Li Chen and the others began to sort the fruits, while Li's mother went to cook, and she couldn't stand hungry just by eating the fruits.
When the animals came back, they all jumped into the pool, and this sudden scene made Xiao Hei, who was bored lying in the water, very happy, and floated to the surface to play with the animals.
Hei Mei also took the initiative to ask Li Chen to flush up the big boiling faucet, and as for washing in the pool... Inexistent!
