Chapter 14: Picking the Stars

The moon and stars are scarce, and the cool breeze is blowing.

Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er walked hand in hand by the Turtle Lake, followed by the little white yak and the black and white shuangsha. The little white yak seems to like black and white very much, and sticks out its tongue to lick it affectionately. It's a pity that the black and white shuangsha didn't appreciate it at all and avoided it from afar.

The moonlight is sprinkled on the surface of the lake, reflecting a bright moon. The breeze was blowing, and the bright moon in the lake suddenly rose and fell with the waves, twisting and distorting.

By the lake, under the palm trees of the artificial beach, the huge dragon turtle stretched out its head to look at the moon, and I didn't know if it was thinking about things, or as the book said, it was swallowing the moon essence cultivation.

Cai Hongming heard Hachiko talk about the dragon turtle, but after coming for so long, it was the first time he saw it. Looking closely through the light of the moon, he found that the head of the dragon turtle really resembled the head of the legendary dragon's head, but the horns on the head appeared a little shorter and a little more tender, a bit like a new sprout that had just grown.

The dragon turtle didn't seem to like people, and when he saw Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er, he went into the lake at once.

Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er continued to walk forward.

Turtle Lake is located on the right side of the 1,000 acres of land bought by Cai Hongming, with green rice fields and neat sweet potato fields on the left, a cement road, sand and grass on the right, and a place for ostriches and yaks in the back. At night, Cai Hongming would have the yaks and ostriches driven back and released during the day.

The sweet potato vines in the sweet potato field on the left are so vigorous that they can be cut and fed to livestock, and sometimes some young shoots can be picked and stir-fried.

In the paddy field, clumps of rice are growing well, and some wind blows. The refreshing aroma of rice wafted from the lungs.

Cai Hongming took the small flashlight he brought out and went to the rice field, only to see the loaches and crucian carp in the water parked there stupidly, motionless, looking much fatter than when he bought them just now. He wondered if he would buy some tofu and come back to make loach and drill tofu when he went back, or make salt and pepper loach, which would taste delicious.

There are water towers on the hillsides on the left and right sides, and Cai Hongming pours the jade toad liquid absorbed and transformed by the jade tripod into it almost every day.

The sweet potatoes, vegetables, and rice in the field absorb the water mixed with the jade toad liquid in the water tower, and they not only grow quickly, but also very well.

When Cai Hongming bought rice seeds, grass seeds, sweet potato seedlings, vegetable seeds and other things. They have all been soaked in jade toad liquid. I wanted to see how to do it. Is it possible to make these things more resistant to cold weather. Unexpectedly, I received an unexpected surprise, after those vegetable seeds soaked in jade toad liquid grew, they were not only large, but also with a natural sweetness. I don't know how much better it is than what it sells in the market.

Look at the motionless loaches and crucian carp in the rice fields. Cai Hongming's mind moved. Gently move towards the water. Although the fish did not like to move much at night, it was frightened, but it also swam away quickly.

Shi Wan'er saw his movements. I couldn't help but shake my head, it was really a child, so I got up and walked forward.

The black and white shuangsha who followed behind saw her go, and immediately rushed up. Cai Hongming turned his head and suddenly saw a dog face, startled. He thought that Shi Wan'er had become a dog. When he saw that it was black and white, he immediately slapped it angrily, and the black and white shuangsha screamed aggrievedly.

Solar insecticidal lamps have been installed in the fields around the lake and rice fields, and some lights shine on the road, hazy, like first love.

The two walked through the rice paddies and came to the edge of the city wall.

The city wall has been completed, and the tower on the middle gate has been framed with reinforced concrete, and the brick wall has been erected and is being renovated.

Cai Hongming took Shi Wan'er upstairs.

Because of the need to resist the wind and sand, Cai Hongming asked people to build a very high city wall, 24 meters high, 12 meters wide, the outer wall is modeled after the desert yellow sand color of sandblasting, it looks like the desert heroic and reckless. At the city gate in the middle of the city wall, Cai Hongming specially asked people to carve the four vigorous characters of "Western Capital Shengjing" in stone. This is also the name of his land, and it will probably be the name of the company in the future.

This is the west, so it is called the "Western Capital"; Scenic scenery refers to the fact that Cai Hongming turned the land he bought into a desert oasis, a paradise, and a paradise on earth.

The gate tower has three floors, and the top is not capped, but it is surrounded by a wall.

Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er came to the top, looked up at the sky, and felt as if they were very close, and they could pick the stars with one hand, but when you stretched out your hand, they found that they were out of reach.

It was actually late, but the moon was surprisingly bright tonight, shining a patch of yellow sand like a white sand inlaid with crystal beads.

"It's nice to be here." Shi Wan'er said emotionally.

"Hmm." Cai Hongming held her in his arms and kissed her soft lips, hoping that it would be like this for the rest of his life.

The walls were completed, followed by the completion of the office building, and another team of people who had taken over the interior renovation work began to move in. Originally, after the completion of the office building, the engineering team was about to start renovating Qilian Village, but Cai Hongming asked them to go outside and lay floor tiles on the side of the city wall to build a parking lot.

Cai Hongming has an idea, in order to avoid the crops and fruit trees planted inside being affected, all vehicles going here will not be able to pass inside, including his own cars. Of course, you can put your own car inside.

That's why he wanted to build a large parking lot under the city walls, so as not to be unable to park.

Once the parking lot was built, he started planting trees. First of all, dig up the useless poplars in Qilian Village and plant them next to the parking lot, then plant a piece of Saxon tree that can parasitize both Cistanche and resist wind and sand, and then inoculate the white thorns that can parasitize Suoyang.

After the two plants were planted, he pretended to go out to pick up the truck carrying the giant pillar cactus back, but in fact, he secretly took out the giant pillar cactus bought from his hometown in southern Fujian from the cave in the jade ding.

After the large and small giant pillar cacti are planted, they look down on the city gate tower, which is magnificent.

After the giant pillar cactus was planted, he planted a sea buckthorn fruit in front of it, and in front of the sea buckthorn fruit was a sage grass.

In the future, if there is wind and sand blowing, first pass through the sage, and then be blocked by the sea buckthorn fruit, even if the front two are not blocked, there are giant pillar cacti, white thorns, and shuttle trees to resist the wind and sand, and finally the wind weakens, the sand and dust decreases, and then it is blocked by the tall city wall.

In the middle of these patches of plants, Cai Hongming set aside a road for vehicles to come and go, but in order to prevent the wind and sand from blowing directly from the road to the city wall, Cai Hongming designed a serpentine detour to prevent the wind from blowing the sand and dust over.

Everything was done, and it was almost mid-September, Cai Hongming and others stood on the city wall and looked at the green plants on the left and right, and they were proud in their hearts, which they had planted with their own hands.

In the paddy field, the rice heading that is growing well is full of grains of rice.

They planted this field late, although there is jade toad liquid added to the water to be absorbed, but it is still a little later to harvest, about after the National Day, the weather is getting colder now, I hope nothing will happen. (To be continued......)
