Chapter 171: Rodents

Coming out of the fourth uncle's house, looking at the village where few people were moving around, Li Chen shook his head helplessly, the unplanned action was really a blind toss, so that now the village is not up and down.

It's said to be a tourist village, there are not a lot of people every day, and there is nothing really to play, just a novelty, and then there is no follow-up power, and it is definitely a place that you don't want to come to after coming once.

It's not a tourist village, but it has a few tourists who come every day to see what is new.

However, seeing that the villagers are very satisfied with their current living conditions, Li Chen will not worry about himself, let's take one step at a time, Rome was not built in a day, and wait for the new village chief to come over and see the situation.

…………

It's a good place to go outside the orchard again and look at the hedged orchard, but... It's impossible to get tourists in.

After calming the big dogs who were lying under the trees outside the garden, he walked inside, and went straight to one of the thickest trees.

This is a peach tree, with a diameter of more than half a meter, and it is one of the thickest fruit trees in this orchard!

Li Chen stroked the smooth and slightly metallic trunk, and he could imagine how hard this tree was. It can be said that it is very suitable to make a peach wood sword, and it is estimated that the effect of a hundred years of peach wood is not as good as it, of course... If there are ghosts in the world.

This tree is the small sapling that Li Chen experimented with, and now it has grown into a peach tree more than ten meters tall and branches of almost half a meter.

The green leaves, cream-yellow branches, and yellow or green peaches, I don't know what the taste of the fruit is, this is the first time this tree has hit fruit.

They are rich in peach, that is, guava, so to speak, even if no one plants it, some barren mountains and wilderness will grow peach trees, all of which are brought by birds, because the seeds of peach trees are too hard, birds and animals can not digest them, which is also one of the ways to spread the seeds of peach.

You remember that when he was a child, he was too greedy, and after eating too many peaches, he was easy to have clogged stool and needed a wooden stick...... Whenever the peach ripening season, it is both a happy time and a miserable time.

…………

Li Chen relied on the tree-climbing skills he had practiced when he was a child, and climbed the peach tree dexterously, looking at the peaches standing tall at the end of the tree, Li Chen held the other branch with one hand and moved it carefully, for fear that the small branch would break.

But apparently he was jealous of the sky, until he reached the end of the branch, which was only slightly bent.

Stretching out his hand, after picking a fruit, he returned to the branch and sat down, looking at the round and shiny green surface, Li Chen was really a little worried about whether this fruit would also be hard.

pinched it with his fingernails, looking at a sunken nail print, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If the fruit of this peach tree is too hard to eat, then he has to consider whether he should stop watering the other fruit trees.

Sniffing close to his nose, the strong guava smell, Li Chen couldn't wait to bite down.

Originally, I was worried that the flesh was too hard, but I didn't want it to feel crunchy, but after a bite, I only half-bite, and the flesh automatically cracked a small piece out.

A full mouthful of pulp, wriggling teeth chewing, crispy, fragrant, juicy, refreshing!

After swallowing the pulp, he suddenly felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the fragrant taste was still in his mouth, Li Chen had never eaten such a delicious peach! Could it be that it was so delicious because it had mutated?

If so, then ......

Thinking about it, Li Chen turned his head to look at the various other different types of fruit trees, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to inject aura into them.

If it weren't for the fact that his aura was not enough, he would have really wanted to do it, but the reality is that his aura is not much at one time, so he can only turn into water and water it. Although the effect is much worse, I believe that after a long time, there will be a qualitative change if the quantity increases!

It's like the family eats the fruit here every day, but they can still feel that the fruit is getting better and better, which is changing every day.

Half an hour later, Li Chen had already eaten seven or eight of them, sitting on the tree and burping while touching his stomach, obviously having eaten too much.

After sitting for a while, he climbed down the tree, and then gathered all the yellowed and fallen leaves nearby, and stacked a thick pile of leaves under the tree.

Li Chen had already climbed the big tree again and picked peaches, whether yellow or green, he picked what he could eat, and then threw them down towards the pile of leaves under the tree.

I saw that when the fruit fell on the pile of leaves, it smashed so that the leaves jumped up, and the fruit was bounced up by the thick leaves and rolled to the ground on the side.

Seeing such a scene, Li Chen nodded with satisfaction and showed a smug smile, this was the skill he had when he and the children in the village were stealing fruits.

There may be only two ways to tell if a peach is edible or not for people who don't come into regular contact with it:

One is to see if the fruit is yellow, and if it turns yellow, it means that it is ripe and ready to eat. However, if it is too soft, it is relatively not delicious enough for the peach.

The second is to pinch it with a fingernail, and the fruit that is easy to pinch out the mark is already edible, or such a fruit is delicious, because the peach can be eaten even if it just bears fruit, but it is very bitter and not delicious.

But for a native like Li Chen, who has eaten countless peaches, it is very simple to distinguish peaches. It takes less than a second to draw conclusions, and there is no need to crawl over and pinch one by one to try to get acquainted with it.

Just after Li Chen picked eight or nine, his happy mood suddenly became bad, because he found that some ripe peaches had been eaten by animals!

One or two is nothing, but Li Chen found that this piece of fruit that turned yellow was basically gnawed once, and each fruit was only gnawed a little, as if he was leaving a mark and swearing sovereignty!

This can't be tolerated, you must know that peaches are easy to rot after ripening, not to mention destroying the peel, rotting is a matter of minutes.

Looking at the small opening in the fruit, the big dog and leopard in the garden were the first to be eliminated.

How does it look like it was left by rodents, well...... I also piggybacked on some of the birds that had been pecked by the birds.

Li Chen suddenly remembered that these trees had been watered with spiritual water and grown up, so it was normal to attract some small animals. To confirm his thoughts, he quickly climbed down the peach tree and set his sights on the other fruit trees in the orchard.

Ten minutes later, after checking a few nearby fruit trees, Li Chen sat down on a small stone a little depressed.

These fruit trees have indeed been plagued by animals!

Usually, Ye Jingting brought the Great Sage to pick it, and climbing the tree to pick the fruit was naturally the Great Sage. However, when the Great Sage saw that the fruit had been eaten by the animals, he did not pick it at most, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to report to them that the fruit had been gnawed, and he did not have this consciousness in his mind.

And Li Chen occasionally came over, just to pick some of the lower fruits, and most of the fruits that were gnawed were at the top of the tree!
