At this time, hearing Hua Feng's words, Huang Lao's body was shocked, and his expression changed: "You said that you want to buy a tree, and you said that you can help me vent your anger, and you use the big banyan tree to talk about things, what is the purpose?" ”

"I'm a bad old man, powerless, and I have nothing left but a barren mountain garden. Of course, if you want my garden, there's nothing to talk about. ”

Huang Lao's expression was very strict, this was his bottom line, and he would never back down half a point.

"Old man, don't worry." Hua Feng hurriedly said: "We will never attack the idea of your garden." ”

"Not only do we not attack the idea of your garden, but on the contrary, if possible, we will only borrow a few of your trees for use, and we will return them afterwards." Fang Yuan said, "Of course, if you are willing to sell the tree to us, it will be even better. ”

"Borrow a tree?" Huang Lao frowned: "What are you going to do by borrowing my tree?" ”

"Well...... this" Hua Feng glanced at Fang Yuan, immediately gritted his teeth, and said truthfully: "Old man, I'm afraid you won't believe it, my brother, he is a feng shui master." He thinks that your tree is a better feng shui tree, which can be used to arrange a feng shui bureau. ”

"Feng Shui Master, Feng Shui Tree, Feng Shui Bureau?" For a moment, Lai Qi was dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

On the contrary, after Huang Lao was stunned, he didn't say that he didn't believe it, but just asked: "You are a feng shui master, how can you prove it?" ”

If others asked like this, Fang Yuan would definitely not have any response. After all, he is a feng shui master, this is a fact, and there is no need to prove it to anyone. Here's the problem. Now that he has a request for someone, he has to come up with some dry goods.

Fang Yuan groaned, and then looked at the Huanghuali sapling next to Huang Lao: "This tree." Seems to be sick. ”

"Sick?" The others were naturally stunned.

At this time, Huang Lao's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Did you guess, or did you see it?" ”

"That said, I'm not wrong." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "No wonder ......"

Fang Yuan was stunned, and then he was silent, making people listen to half of it. It's not enough. Anyway, Dongfang couldn't hold it back, and his heart was tickled as if he had been scratched by a kitten: "No wonder, isn't this tree very good." Where is the disease? ”

"If it weren't for his illness, Huang Lao wouldn't have brought the tree over, and kept saying that he was going to communicate with everyone." Fang Yuan said, but Huang Lao was quite disappointed.

"So you guessed." Huang Lao shook his head. He said lightly: "The ability to figure out people's hearts is good. ”

"Not a guess. I don't have the ability to see through people's hearts. Fang Yuan said bluntly: "It's just that although I can't see through people's hearts, I know a little bit about the art of looking at qi. ”

"Qi Lookout." Huang Lao was taken aback and was very skeptical: "Can you look at it?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Fang Yuan nodded, pointed to the Huanghuali sapling, and commented: "For example, this tree seems to have tender branches and leaves, and it has new sprouts, and it looks vibrant. In fact, it is strong from the outside. Very weak, angry and constantly flowing. Something must have gone wrong. ”

"Really?" The others were surprised and hurriedly paid attention to Huang Lao's reaction.

At this time, Huang Lao's expression changed, and he was surprised and suspicious: "You really see it?" ”

"Haha, old man, my brother is very powerful, from Quanzhou, the premier feng shui master." Hua Feng and Yourong said categorically: "He said that he could see it, it must be wrong." ”

Huang Lao believed a little, because there was something wrong with this tree, he knew it best in his heart. Just like Fang Yuan said, if there was nothing wrong with this tree, he would not bring it to the flower market and let a group of old friends "diagnose" it.

He originally thought that there were more people in the market, and he might be able to find out the problem of the tree and give a plan to treat it. Unfortunately, it backfired, and he didn't say a word, but no one saw that there was something wrong with the tree. I never thought that all the experts in the flower and plant market could not see the hidden danger of the tree, but a young man with sharp eyes and a word broke the mystery.

Huang Lao was surprised, but also ignited a little hope: "Can I still save this tree?" ”

"It's hard to say." Fang Yuan shook his head and said frankly: "I don't know much about the characteristics of plants, I am purely a layman, and I belong to the kind of people who know the crux of the problem but can't solve it. ”

"It's okay, you don't understand, I do." Huang Lao hurriedly said: "You sue me, where there is a problem, I will solve it." ”

"Not really." Dongfang Wei was surprised: "Old man, don't you know that this tree is sick, why do you still ask him?" ”

"I know the tree is sick, but I don't know where the tree is sick." Huang Lao patiently explained: "I know it but I don't know why, I know that there may be a problem with this tree, but I don't know the crux of the problem. ”

"How do you know there's something wrong with the tree?" Dongfang Wei asked.

"I have cultivated dozens of huanghuali saplings, and I have made detailed notes on the growth pattern of each sapling." Huang Lao smiled and said: "In the past few days, when I was watering the sapling, I found that this sapling had dried up the water of other saplings at the same time, and only the roots of this sapling had many water stains. ”

"I looked at the tree for several days and found the same phenomenon, so I knew that the tree must be sick. However, when I studied the soil, roots, and insect pests, I didn't find anything, and I didn't know what the problem was. ”

Huang Lao frowned and said: "I suspect that it is some kind of lesion, and I can't find a clue, so I have to bring it to everyone to see." ”

As he spoke, Huang Lao let go of his guard, and said with a sincere expression: "Little friend, if you know what the problem is, please be sure to tell me, or this is the origin of some kind of disease, if you can study the principle clearly, maybe you can save many trees and plants that died inexplicably." ”

"It's not a lesion." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Or, this is not the source of infection you always imagined. In fact, this is a very unlikely event, and it is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. ”

"How?" Others were confused and didn't know what they meant.

"There are two sides to everything, and good and bad may go hand in hand." Fang Yuan said with a smile: "This tree is also like this, in the old man's opinion, it is sick, and the vitality is draining, this is a fact. But if it can survive this hurdle and not die, then there will be a new life turnaround. ”

"Turnaround?" Dongfang Wei's eyes were misty: "What a turnaround, can you explain it clearly, what is wrong with this tree?" ”

Fang Yuan didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, he picked up the sapling, stretched out his hand and gestured, "There should be a piece of sand stuck inside this place." ”

"What?" Everyone looked and found that Fang Yuan was talking about the location of the tree root.

"You mean, there's sand in the roots?" Dongfang Wei was surprised: "Really fake? ”

"It's not sand, it's gravel, hard pebbles." Fang Yuan corrected: "I think this should be like this, when the root system of the sapling was growing, it inadvertently wrapped a piece of sand in the middle. After seven or eight years, not only did the roots take root like a spider's web in the soil, but the trunk also began to grow......"

"At this time, the sand and gravel slowly merged with the sapling, and then the sequelae appeared. The sand and gravel were stuck in the position of the root system, which affected the speed at which the sapling absorbed nutrients, so the old man thought it was sick. ”

Fang Yuan said: "Of course, from a certain point of view, it is indeed sick. But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and if Seong loses his horse, he doesn't know if it's a blessing. As long as the sapling continues to grow, until the day when it becomes a towering tree, the sand stuck in the trunk will gradually deteriorate, forming a treasure more precious than pearls. ”

"What's that treasure?" Dongfang Wei will be suspicious: "Have you seen it?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and didn't explain. Inadvertently, he touched the boil bead bracelet on his wrist. Whatever the sand and gravel in the tree will become, it will be a long, long time later.

"It's not a disease, it's a piece of gravel?" At the same time, Huang Lao thought about it, his eyes suddenly certain, and he said directly: "Lai Qi, you go to the kitchen to help me borrow a sharp knife." ”

"Huang Lao, what are you?" Lai Qi hesitated.

"He said that there was sand and gravel at the root of the tree, so I would simply 'disembowel' and take a look." Huang Lao said in a deep voice: "Anyway, if this tree continues like this, it is a question whether it can survive the spring." In that case, I'll just try to be a dead horse doctor and give it a try. ”

At the urging of Huang Lao, Lai Qi had no choice but to borrow a knife.

During this period, Dongfang Wei poked Fang Yuan with his tender fingers, and whispered: "You can't do it, if you cut open the roots of the tree and find that there is nothing in it, then you will be finished." ”

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Fang Yuan said confidently, even if it was not sand and gravel that was stuck in the roots of the tree, it was also other debris, so that it affected the vitality circulation of the sapling. He is very sure of this.

After a while, Lai Qi returned, holding two knives in his hands. One is a machete, the other is a sharp-angled knife.

"Huang Lao, are you really here?" Lai Qi put down the knife and hesitated a little: "You also heard it, maybe this little brother is right, the sapling is a blessing in disguise, not a disease, so why bother with it." ”

Huang Lao turned a deaf ear, and personally broke the mud ball that wrapped the roots of the sapling, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, bring a knife." ”

Lai Qi scratched his head, gave Fang Yuan and Hua Feng an apologetic look, and then honestly offered the knife with his backhand.

After Huang Lao copied the knife, he did not hesitate at all, first aimed the tip of the sharp knife at the root of the tree, and then turned the machete around and smashed it with the back of the thick knife. There was a thud, thump, and the tip of the knife effortlessly sank into the roots.

"Phew!"

At this moment, a strange sound was heard, the tip of the knife was jammed, and the sap from the roots of the tree overflowed. Then everyone smelled a faint and unique aroma.

"Sure enough, it's a real Huanghuali." Huafeng took a breath of the aroma and admired: "This aroma can make people addictive, and they never get tired of smelling it." ”

"It smells good." Dongfang Wei agreed: "It would be better if it could be made into spices and used for smoking." ”

"Even if there were such spices, they would be very expensive." Huafeng said: "At least the price of genuine agarwood. ”

The reason why the two of them have Yaxing chatting is mainly that they can basically be sure that there must be something stuck between the roots...... (To be continued......)
