Chapter 14: Strange Fruits

The back garden of the villa covers a large area, and the layout of the garden is modeled after that of Suzhou gardens. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In my previous life, after graduating from university, I went to Suzhou Garden with my friends to play once, and I still remember joking with my friends that if I could live here for a lifetime, I would be willing to die.

Although I didn't live in Suzhou Gardens as I wished, it is not inferior to Suzhou Gardens in the slightest, and it can be regarded as a long-cherished wish in my previous life.

Situ Zexiu only led the way in front, no matter where he went, he didn't say a word, and Qi Xiaomo was used to him being taciturn.

However, as long as Qi Xiaomo saw a plant he didn't know, he would ask him.

Standing in front of the rockery, I saw the iron fence in front of me, the iron fence was very high, and inside was a strange-looking tree, about two people as tall, without leaves, and the branches were full of apple-sized fruits, the color of the fruits was blue, and some were as red as blood.

It's just that Situ Zexiu walked to the rockery and stopped moving forward, turned to Qi Xiao Mo and said.

"Go back!"

Qi Xiaomo had already seen the fruit tree in front of her, and was curious about what it was, and now that someone was not going, it made her even more curious.

"Mr. Situ, what kind of tree is in the iron fence in front of you? How strange is it? And the fruit has never been seen before! ”

Situ Zexiu simply replied.

"It's not for human food!"

If it's not eaten by humans, is it eaten by animals? But I didn't see any small animals raised here when I walked around this circle! Odd!

……

The next day, the weather was fine, and it took a day yesterday to get acquainted with Situ's home inside and out.

A hanging chair is placed under a century-old tree, and the dense foliage blocks out the sun.

Qi Xiaomo, who had done most of the day's homework, sat comfortably on the hanging chair, holding a bag of potato chips in his hand, and was sending them to his mouth one by one.

The maid brought her a glass of fresh orange juice.

Qi Xiaomo took the orange juice and thanked the maid.

"Thank you Avon, I'm just thirsty!"

"Hehe, Miss Qi is polite!"

Qi Xiaomo took a sip of orange juice, suddenly thought of the fruit tree he saw yesterday, and asked Avon curiously.

"Avon, have you seen the fruit tree behind the rockery?"

"I've seen it! What's wrong, Miss Qi? ”

Qi Xiaomo saw that she had also seen it, and then asked.

"Do you know the name of that fruit tree?"

Avon shook her head.

"I don't know, but I know that I brought it back from England when Madame and Young Master came back."

It is even more strange that the fruits that cannot be eaten are brought back from abroad for thousands of miles!

"Did Situ's mother and your young master always live in England before?"

Avon shook her head again.

"I don't know, I've been working here for almost half a month, and the lady and young master have only come back. But Madame had instructed that no one should come near there! ”

Qi Xiaomo nodded, it seems that she doesn't know what kind of fruit tree it is, and she doesn't allow others to go, why is this? But Situ Zexiu didn't bother to explain to himself.

It's better to take advantage of his absence here and secretly take a look, Qi Xiaomo found a way to break her apart.

"Avon, I'm fine, you're busy with something else!"

"Okay, Miss Qi!"

Qi Xiaomo gulped down the orange juice and put the cup on the coffee table beside him.

Seeing that Avon was walking away, Qi Xiaomo turned around and ran in the other direction.

Qi Xiaomo followed yesterday's route, and soon arrived at the rockery, and through the rockery, he arrived at the iron fence.

It's been calculated, Qi Xiaomo turned around in the iron fence, how to get in?

Hey! There's a door here, and when you look closer, it's still locked.

Ay! Qi Xiaomo lowered his head in disappointment, saw the pin on his chest, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he had an idea.

Qi Xiaomo took the pin and inserted it into the keyhole, and after a long time, why didn't he open it?

Changed the method and then unlocked, pulled out the pin, looked left and right to see that no one, and then continued to unlock, because he was too anxious, the hand was inserted hard, poked the finger.

Yes! It hurts, Qi Xiaomo screamed.

When I raised my finger, I almost pierced my finger, and it was so deep, no wonder it hurt so much!

Forget it, if you don't look at it, your hands hurt to death.

Qi Xiaomo turned around and walked a few steps and stopped, but he had come here, if he gave up halfway, he would be too sorry for this injured hand.

Qi Xiaomo ran back again, inserted the pin again, and went back if he couldn't open it again.

Just when Qi Xiaomo was about to give up, he only heard a click, and the lock was actually opened, and it seemed that he was lucky.

Opening the door, Qi Xiaomo walked in, close to the fruit tree, this red fruit should be ripe, it looks like an apple, but I don't know what it tastes like.

Qi Xiaomo reached out and touched the red fruit, I really wanted to taste it! But his mind suddenly remembered Situ Zexiu's words.

"It's not for human food!"

Forget it, even he said that it was not eaten by people, and if this fruit was poisoned and eaten, wouldn't it be dead.

I finally didn't die and was reborn here, and if I lost my life because of gluttony, it would be too uneconomical.

Dispelled the idea of wanting to eat, Qi Xiaomo felt strange again, this fruit is nothing, is it? Why fence it with an iron fence and lock the door?

This green fruit is quite beautiful, a bit like a green snake fruit! Qi Xiaomo thought that his fingers also touched the green fruit.

The fingers just touched the cyan fruit as if it was sucked, what's the matter, Qi Xiaomo tried his best to pull it back, but he couldn't pull it back.

Qi Xiaomo could clearly feel that the blood in her body was decreasing little by little, this time, she was really scared.

Qi Xiaomo desperately tried to pull his fingers back, but to no avail.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Xiaomo felt panicked in his heart, and his head began to feel dizzy.

Qi Xiaomo really didn't have the strength to stand, and as soon as his body was weak, he fell to the ground.

At the last moment of falling, Qi Xiaomo felt that someone hugged him behind him.

Situ Zexiu caught Qi Xiaomo, and looked at her pale and frightening, and suddenly panicked, and eagerly called her name.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo! Are you okay! ”

Qi Xiaomo felt that she was having auditory hallucinations, she actually heard Situ Zexiu's voice, and he was still calling his name, he didn't seem to have called his name after knowing him for so long!

Qi Xiaomo tried hard to open her eyes, trying to see the person in front of her clearly, but she could only see a vague figure, looking a little like him, but this anxious look was not like the person she knew him.

"Do I have a vision in front of me? Actually......! ”

Before he finished speaking, he fainted.

At dinner, Situ Zexiu didn't see Qi Xiaomo's figure, so he called the maid to ask, but the maid didn't know.

After searching the villa all over but still not finding it, Situ Zexiu suddenly remembered that there was still a place he hadn't found, so he hurriedly ran here and saw this scene.

Originally, it was still a green fruit, but now it had turned blood-red, and Qi Xiaomo's fingers were still attached to it.

Situ Zexiu spread out his palm and put it under the blood-red fruit, and blue flames suddenly appeared in his palm, and after a while, the blood-red fruit slowly became shriveled until it turned to ashes.

Situ Zexiu withdrew his hand, picked up Qi Xiaomo and jumped up, jumped to the rockery, jumped out of the distance with a little force on his toes, and disappeared behind the rockery.
