Chapter 58 Cool Fruit
Li Wei and the third master walked on the path in the village, because of the fog, the bluestone road under their feet looked a little slippery, as if they were on the ice, and they had to be extra careful when walking on it.
The valley where Lijiazhuang is located has at least 300 years of fog in a year. It's not just the morning that gets it here, it's the middle of the day, it's the night, it's all the time.
On rare occasions, the entire valley will be shrouded in clouds and mist for a whole day, and there will be a white expanse everywhere, and visibility will be close to zero.
However, the fog in this place usually does not last, and it will dissipate slowly in ten minutes or half an hour, or at most an hour.
Because of this, the sound field of various crops here is possible. Sunlight, water, soil, and a peculiar climate nurture strange creatures, and many unique flora and fauna have become the biggest features of this place.
"Third master, in the past few days that I have been outside this time, I have learned about the situation in the outside world through the Internet. Overall, it's not bad. ”
As Li Wei walked, he reported to Dark Night what he had gained in the past few days outside, and at the same time paid attention to the reaction of Li Guangming, the old patriarch.
It is said that sitting at home and turning on the computer can know anything in the world in any period of 5,000 years of history. Especially those news, which just happened over there, are available on the Internet here. ”
This old man is not an ordinary person, he used to be in a high position, even if he is now 100 years old, but he still maintains a lot of attention to some of the latest technologies in the world.
For example, the rise of the Internet! made him, the former second-in-command of the military, keenly aware of the importance of the Internet for army building and future warfare.
"Wait for the time to connect the network cable to our village, so that our people in the village can also know the latest major events in the world without leaving home!"
"I still have to think about this matter, the Internet is a double-edged sword. Moreover, the blades on each side are so sharp that you can cut yourself if you are not careful. Of course, it may also make your work, life and study more convenient. ”
Li Wei stared at the road ahead, and said a word without looking back. The fog began to rise, and it became thicker. For the words of the old patriarch, even if Li Wei hopes that the Internet can enter the villagers' homes, he still needs to wait patiently.
If you take the route they took this time into the mountain, that is, from the direction of the backing mountain, they crossed the two mountains, the mountains in these places are high and dense, and all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts are more powerful than the other.
If you want to set up a line from this direction, the difficulty is no different from climbing to the sky in one step! Before you can walk a few tens of meters, someone has to be tricked and bitten by these poisonous insects and beasts. The pain is unbearable, and the pain is unbearable!
If it is from the tunnel where Li Wei came out of the mountain, although the difficulty of construction decreases exponentially, the secret of that tunnel will have to be exposed. However, if the village is really fully connected to the outside world, it will be nothing if the tunnel is exposed.
The key is that in the past few days in the outside world, Li Wei has become more and more aware that the villagers of Lijiazhuang, who have lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, may not be able to adapt to the new world of highly developed society in all aspects of the outside world.
Therefore, he had to revise his original plan, preparing to no longer open up completely, but partially, selectively opening up some things that are distinctive and may be of interest to people outside.
After saying his latest thoughts, the old man Li Guangming didn't say anything for a long time. He glanced at Li Wei a few times with some doubts, and then compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two in his heart.
"What about the specifics? Have you thought about it?"
The fog became thicker and thicker, and within a few minutes, Li Wei's exposed hair was stained with a thick layer of "frost". Then, the fog began to dissipate again.
"I think our village should not be fully opened for the time being, for a long time in the future, we will only be open to the backers and people who have been approved by the mountain, and the others should forget it!
Li Guangming immediately stopped after hearing this, and looked at Li Wei blankly. How is this kind of thing possible? After the village is opened, there will definitely be a lot of people who come to see the novelty, but ordinary people can't come here.
Not to mention anything else, if only the mountain road from the backing mountain is opened, the fact that you need to walk all day to enter the village is probably going to pass most people!
What's more, anything can happen in the mountains and forests, what if someone is bitten by the poisonous insects in the mountains and forests? Or destroy the mountains and forests there and build a road to the village directly?
This is impossible! Absolutely not! Even if Li Wei is the village head, he is the side-by-side king of this generation!
Because the ancestors have long left a legacy, future generations must not destroy the environment here, especially the surrounding mountains and rivers, otherwise they will be punished by God!
"No! Absolutely not!"
The old patriarch waved his hand again and again in a little panic, his face suddenly turned pale as paper, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Wei with fear, as if he had seen something very terrible.
Li Wei understood the old patriarch's feelings very well, but he didn't comfort him, but nodded, indicating that he wouldn't really do what he thought.
This place is so magical, there are so many things happening all the time that modern science can't explain, there are so many strange animals and plants that shouldn't be on this planet at all.
However, in fact, those plants and animals that are clearly not native to this planet are alive here. Li Wei casually glanced at it and found a plant of this type.
There is a large tree with thick branches with a diameter of more than two meters, but the height is only more than three meters, and the real crown of the tree stretches out countless branches to the surrounding area, covering the surrounding area of more than ten meters.
The shape of the leaves is similar to that of the common large-leaved poplar, but under the dense foliage, the green fruits the size of an adult's fist loom in the shadows.
At first glance, this fruit looks like a walnut. But a closer look reveals that it is not the same species as walnut at all, despite its striking resemblance.
Although they have the same shape and the same skin color, it is obvious that the fruit in front of you is larger than that of a walnut, and the skin is not as green or thick as a walnut.
The locals call this thing a cool fruit, because when it is ripe, it still has some similarities with apples, but now it is more like a walnut.
When ripe, the fruit is not large, about five centimeters in diameter, and the skin is thin and almost transparent, and you can faintly see the white flesh underneath.
If that's all there is, it's nothing. What's really special about Qingliang Fruit is that if you have the opportunity to eat this fruit, you will know that if you bite into it lightly, you will find something even more magical.
Under that layer of white flesh, it was no longer the pulp, but a liquid, a liquid like a coconut!
The liquid contained in a cool fruit is enough for one person to drink two sips at most, but even such a little liquid should not be underestimated, and its existence almost has the status of a fairy fruit in Lijiazhuang.
The flesh and juice of the cool fruit taste sweet and delicious, with a special fruity aroma, a bit like an apple. But once you bite into that layer of white flesh, the flavor is quickly overshadowed by a richer aroma.
You can't tell what the juice tastes like, it smells good, and even has a refreshing feeling. Wake up from a nap in the afternoon and take a sip of the juice of the refreshing fruit to immediately sweep away the feeling of fatigue and lethargy, and become energetic.
This miraculous liquid has just been exposed to the air because its temperature remains at about 10 degrees Celsius, which is very low compared to the valley's average temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius. So, once exposed, there will be a cool air similar to eating popsicles on dog days in summer.
Take a sip and the cool sensation slips through your throat and up to the top of your head, instantly refreshing you. Straight down into the stomach, you can't help but be smart, the heat of the whole body is swept away, and you suddenly feel extremely cool.
But the strangest part is here, after several generations of continuous research and analysis of imperial doctors, it was finally determined that this fruit and juice are hot fruits, and if you eat too much, you are likely to get angry!
However, its juice is a "special medicine" for treating colds, fevers, and some inflammations! Similar to the symptoms of cold and fever, drink two juices that you have thought of, and the effect will be immediately effective! Noticeable results can be seen in half an hour, or at most an hour.
This is too contradictory! On the one hand, it is hot in its own right, but it is aimed at cold, and the magic of nature lies here.
What's even more incredible is that the leaves of the refreshing fruit have the effect of repelling insects. The strange smell it has will make all kinds of insects in most mountains and forests stay away, and they dare not approach it.
It's just that there should be a place for cool fruit trees, whether it is on the ground, underground, or in the sky, from wild boars and bears to blind people, to ants, mosquitoes and flies, all of them will not enter the range of the smell emitted by cool fruit trees.
Therefore, if you plant one of these trees in the courtyard of your home, then your home will not only not have to worry about mosquito bites, insect and ant infestations, but you can also enjoy the cool environment during the dog days.
It seems that this tree is born to be a refrigerator made by nature, and the air conditioner is extremely magical at the end, which makes people feel shocked and confused.
Where did such a miraculous thing come from, and why is it that it is the only one in this valley and never found anywhere else?
If you don't understand it, don't think about it for the time being, this has always been Li Wei's motto. But there are more important things waiting for him to do.
