Chapter 52 Colorful Drought Locusts
"It's not like you stinky boy caused it." Liu Quan put his hand behind his back and said angrily: "You are planting lettuce in the sand, after such publicity on the TV station, now up to the ninety-year-old grandmother, down to the little hairy child who can walk, who doesn't know the maverick Liu Xing." ”
Although Liu Quan's words are a bit exaggerated, the advertising effectiveness of Shonan TV has indeed made more than 80% of people in Shonan know about Liu Xing's lettuce in the sand.
So much so that now in the streets and alleys of Shonan Province, the big guys sit together before and after dinner, and more than half of them talk about 'silly. Forced 'Liu Xing to plant lettuce in the sand where birds don't.
But
His farmhouse, how many people know and pay attention, then it is unknown.
Liu Xing was not angry at all when he heard Liu Quan's words just now, he joked: "What I want is this effect, the so-called people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, but I am a person who wants to be famous and pigs want to be strong." Just take their gossip as if it were wind in your ears. But if I guess it's good, your watermelon sales must be booming these days, right? ”
Liu Quan smiled and nodded.
Liu Xing is right, as long as his watermelons arrive at the market these days, the inner and outer three layers will be surrounded by water. In addition to asking Liu Xing about things, everyone also took watermelons one by one.
The other watermelons have not yet opened, but his watermelons are sold out again. So much so that he originally planned to sell watermelons for a month, but now according to this momentum, it is estimated that as long as he sells them in another four or five days, his watermelons will be sold out.
There is another point that Liu Xing did not expect.
Didn't he worry that when the continuous heavy rain came, the weather would get cooler, and his father's watermelon would not be sold if no one ate it, or would he fry the melon if he absorbed too much water?
Now the situation seems
The TV station report silently took away the deep worry in his heart.
His father's sales of watermelons in the past few days are no longer hot enough to describe.
It's really intentional to plant flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows!
"Okay, stinky boy, you're busy, I'm going to buy watermelons." Liu Quan, who knew what was going on, took a few puffs of dry cigarettes, tilted her head and called Zhu Ling, and left with a smile. In Liu Quan's heart, the mind of his son Liu Xing is really too smart
"Hahaha, this is my Liu Quan's son!"
Liu Xing looked at his parents who were far away, but there was a sense of guilt in his heart.
They have paid too much for this family, and at this age, they still have to work hard, and even buy a watermelon to cover up gossip for him.
They
It's not easy to live, it's too tiring to live
Another two or three days passed in the busyness.
It was noon that day.
Liu Xing explained that Zhou Ziqiang's website had a preliminary outline.
It's just that Liu Xing looked at the picture effect and subject matter of the courtyard on the laptop computer and felt that he was not very satisfied, so he directly photographed the courtyard, and he estimated that the people he saw would definitely not buy face.
was racking his brains to think of any way to improve it, Tu Gang ran out of the kitchen excitedly, took his mobile phone and shouted: "Brother, my dad is calling, asking if you have time tomorrow, if you have time, you are going to go to Tiger Cliff." ”
Liu Xing looked at Tu Gang who came over with a smile and said, "Of course I have time, you tell Uncle Long, I'll pack up my things and go to your house at night." ”
"Okay!" Tu Gang nodded honestly.
After a few days, lettuce has been blessed by heavy rain, except for secretly pouring some spiritual water at night, Liu Xing doesn't have to worry about it at all.
The decoration of the courtyard is controlled by the old classmate Ma Jian, except for a pot of delicious boiled fish for lunch at noon, Liu Xing does not want to interfere at all.
He couldn't bear to go to Tiger Cliff these days. One day earlier, he found the dragon slaying double knife, and one day earlier, he invited the dragon slayer, and his heart was put down.
Next
Liu Xing handed over everything in his hands to Zhou Ziqiang and Elaine.
With the two of them there, he was relieved to ask the excavator to repair the herring reservoir and the decoration of the farmhouse. As for the fishing and eating that Zhu Xiao and his group of friends must come to every day, he also explained to Tu Gang, and he looked at it.
Because judging from the relationship with Zhu Xiao's friends in the past few days, they are really not bad for money! And he is honest and trustworthy, and he will never leave after wiping his mouth after eating.
Time flies.
In the evening, Ma Jian and his craftsmen called it a day and went back.
Liu Xing carried the backpack that had been prepared a long time ago, called out the golden warrior from the ethereal ring, and went to the entrance of Tujia Village on Tu Gang's motorcycle.
Tu Long explained on the phone that they were waiting for Liu Xing and them at the entrance of the village.
As soon as Tu Gang's motorcycle stopped on the roadless road in Tujia Village, Liu Xing saw not far away, a middle-aged man with a majestic figure in a blue cloth robe, a wine gourd tied around his waist, and a long shotgun on his shoulder, chatting with a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, smoking a cigarette under a neem tree.
This middle-aged man with a majestic figure is the dragon slayer, but as for the pockmark next to him, Liu Xing doesn't know him.
Got closer.
The sharp-eyed Dragon Slayer looked at Liu Xing who came over, looked up and down with eagle eyes, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said with a smile: "Xingwazi, you are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time." By the way, I heard that you have tuberculosis, I don't think you look like you have a ruddy complexion, are you cunning boy playing some tricks again! ”
"How can there be! Uncle Long! Liu Xing smiled wryly: "It's true that I have tuberculosis, it's just that I've been well maintained these days since I came back." You can't see it. ”
In fact
Liu Xing said this, and he was a little skeptical that his tuberculosis was cured, the symptoms of coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness, which seemed to be no longer in the form of an ethereal ring.
"Hahaha" Slayer laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, I'll leave you alone, don't talk about it, it's dark now, let's go." ”
Liu Xing and Tu Gang nodded repeatedly.
Rough paths.
Liu Xing, Tu Gang, Tu Long, and the pock-faced middle-aged man were a group of four, with three hunting dogs and a golden warrior, and slowly walked towards the thatched forest path with a flashlight.
The group of four people had not walked for more than ten minutes, and it was completely dark, and they couldn't see their fingers.
Liu Xing walked at the back and asked Tu Gang suspiciously: "It's dark this day, is it necessary for us to rush like this, can't we go to Tiger Cliff in broad daylight?" ”
"You don't understand that." A middle-aged man with a pockmarked face who was dressed in black and wearing galoshes sneered at the front: "You don't know that if you want to reach Tiger Cliff, you have to pass through the thatched forest, and this thatched forest is the world of colorful drought locusts. ”
Liu Xing was shocked when he listened.
He had heard of these colorful drought locusts, each one was the size of a thumb, and as long as a blood animal within a radius of two hundred meters passed by him, it could silently lurk on your body and suck your blood.
Blood sucking is not the most important thing, the important thing is that these colorful locusts live in groups, as long as one is found around it, then there are at least hundreds around. There are many colorful locusts, imagine that if you are possessed by hundreds or thousands of colorful locusts and suck blood, it is estimated that the meat will be sucked off.
That's why there is a saying that good people go in and skeletons come out.
And the weakness of this colorful locust is completely different from the weakness of ordinary grasshoppers in paddy fields.
Its weakness is that it is afraid of cold and dark, and it usually lurks in damp corroded leaves or water at night, and then comes out to feed and suck blood during the day.
The reason why the dragon slayer and his party had to take them through the thatched forest at night was actually to avoid the colorful locusts.
The thatched forest is quite large, and as far as the eye can see, it is all dense blue silk thatch that is high and dense for one person, and there is no end in sight.
People say that the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, but the thatched forest here is the wind and the grass is low to the grasshoppers!
Because the silk thatch grows densely together, this creates a perennial humidity in the land where it grows, and the temperature is kept at about 20 degrees, which makes it a paradise for colorful locusts to breed and live.
Liu Xing heard the middle-aged man say this, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at his feet, for fear of finding the locusts stringing out to suck his blood.
