Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a small basin with an area of about 10 square kilometers, the area of paddy fields is about 700 acres, and the dry land is mostly on the high mounds and mountains.

Not far from the ferry, there is still an ancient waterwheel, which is still running non-stop, and the ancestors of Taoyuan Village opened a canal that is several miles long, and the waterwheel pours the river water into the canal.

With the canal as the boundary, the whole field is divided into the upper and lower walls, the upper wall is irrigated by the mountain stream flowing out of the bamboo mountain, and the lower wall basically depends on this canal.

Between the lower wall and the sandbar, there is also a low-lying swamp and several weir ponds, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, overgrown with reeds and weeds, as soon as the Pingjiang River rises, it will be flooded, only some waterfowl inhabit it.

Ye Quan has always believed that autumn in the countryside is more beautiful than spring, the road is lined with patches of rice fields, at this time the heavy ears of rice bent the straw, a gust of wind blows, set off golden waves, the thick fragrance of rice comes to the nose, and the air is filled with a joy of harvest.

The mountains and forests in the distance have become gorgeous and colorful, some are verdant, some have been dressed in yellow autumn clothes, and some are half yellow and half green.

Even better is the fruit grove, where pears, citrus, persimmons, jujubes and pomegranates are ripe and full of fruit.

As the saying goes, autumn is high and cool, and the clear sky is clear and bright, which makes people feel like they are in a state of mind and cleansing their souls, which is absolutely impossible to find in the city surrounded by steel and concrete.

Even the wild chrysanthemums on the side of the road and on the hillside are so happy, the colorful butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and the wild birds are singing from time to time, which is natural and harmonious, Ye Quan knows that this is the biggest reason why he insists on coming back.

On the way, he met some villagers who were still working in the fields, and Ye Quan inevitably had to greet him for a while.

Taoyuan Village Ye Zun Liangtai Gong as the ancestor, Liangtai Gongguan to the imperial camp Si Dutong, Song Deyou first year, died in a battle against the Yuan army, the following year, Lin'an City court surrendered, Nanning perished.

Liangtai Gong had three sons, all of whom were unwilling to surrender to other races, so they took their families and hid in the deep mountains of Nanling, and took root in Taoyuan Village, a treasure of feng shui, and multiplied for generations.

The population of the entire Taoyuan Village is more than 1,000, except for intermarriage with the surrounding mountain villages, they used to live in isolation, and they all have the same ancestor, so the atmosphere has always been very harmonious and united, except for children under the age of fifteen, Ye Quan basically knows everyone.

Although Taoyuan Village has beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant products, the transportation is inconvenient, and the villagers are naturally not very wealthy, except for two or three cement buildings, the others are old-style tiled houses.

However, Taoyuan Village lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of land for building houses, so the houses in the entire village are not clustered together, but form a long belt along the foot of the mountain.

Ye Xinlong drove the carriage and stopped in front of Ye Quan's old mansion, which was located in the easternmost part of the village, hundreds of meters away from the nearest family.

This is a compound with an area of no less than two acres, and there is a camphor tree of more than 200 years in front of the house, standing majestically, and the thick trunk of the tree can not be hugged by two people.

There is also a longan tree in the east corner of the yard, which is also more than ten meters high, with lush branches and leaves, echoing with the camphor tree outside, the crown of the longan tree not only covers most of the front yard, but also stretches out half of the branches, however, I don't know whether there is no one to take care of it or other reasons, this old tree has not borne fruit for more than ten years since Ye Quan went to elementary school.

There are hundreds of hundred-year-old trees like this in Taoyuan Village, mostly camphor trees, maple poplars and laurel trees, but also longan trees, ginkgo trees, pomelo trees and peach trees.

The fence of the courtyard is not very high, only about 1.7 meters, and a tall person can see it when he looks up, and the cracks in the wall are covered with plants such as silver-backed ferns, phoenix ferns, and mosses.

When Ye Quan was a child, he often played tricks on others, and one of the common methods was to pick off the leaves of the silver fern, and then use the back of the leaf to pat on other people's clothes, and immediately leave the silver powder of the leaves on the clothes, outlining a white trace of the fern leaves.

The yards of each family in Taoyuan Village are large and small, but the basic pattern is similar, with a yard in front, a vegetable garden in the back, and a factory shed next to it, which is used to raise livestock and stack firewood.

There are also dozens of fruit trees planted on both sides of the yard, varieties of peaches, loquats, pomegranates and persimmons, all of which belong to the garden of Ye Quan's family, if Taoyuan Village wants to say that there is a better place than the city, that is, each household occupies a lot of land, like Ye Quan's house, plus the vegetable garden behind and the orchards on both sides, the area is more than five acres, enough to build several villas.

At this time, Lingxi suddenly reminded: "A mutated hundred-year-old tree was found in front of me, containing 72 spiritual energy points, and it was decomposed. ”

Ye Quan saw that Lingxi was referring to the old longan tree in the yard, but he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the ancient tree that had not borne fruit for many years had actually mutated.

There are so many hundred-year-old trees in Taoyuan Village, I don't know if there are any other plants that have mutated, but Ye Quan doesn't want to destroy an ancient tree for a little spiritual value, especially an old tree that has grown up with him.

**************************

Before the luggage was carried to the courtyard, an old man with gray hair and a tall and thin middle-aged man walked over from the courtyard closest to Ye Quan's house.

"Uncle, Uncle Mingcheng."

Ye Quan's grandparents died when he was very young, and now the closest blood relationship to him in the village is his uncle Ye Guangzu's family.

The old man walking in front was Ye Guangzu, and the middle-aged man behind him was his son Ye Mingcheng.

Ye Mingchang and Ye Mingcheng have been good since they were children, they are no different from brothers, and the two families are neighbors, so the relationship has always been very good.

Ye Guangzu was very happy to see Ye Quan, and said, "It's good to be back, let's go to dinner first." ”

Ye Quan nodded, and he was not polite, knowing that he would come back at noon today, and his uncle's family must have prepared lunch.

After unloading the luggage, seeing Ye Quan carrying a bunch of things in large bags and small bags towards his house, Ye Mingcheng said: "Xiaoquan, why do your family send such things to my house every time you come back?" ”

Ye Quan said with a smile: "Uncle Mingcheng, they are all things that are difficult to buy in the countryside, so I just brought some back by the way, and it didn't cost much." ”

Every family in Taoyuan Village has its own vegetable garden and orchard, naturally there will be no shortage of fruits and vegetables, and there is very little fertilization and spraying, even if it is not as good as the space production, it can also be called green organic food, so Ye Quan sent dried seafood and some tobacco and alcohol.

Entering the courtyard of my uncle's house, my aunt Xu Fengzhen came out while wiping her hands, with a smile on her face, and said, "Xiaoquan is back, wash your hands and eat, the dishes are almost cold." ”

Ye Guangzu opened a vat of aged sweet potato wine, soaked in some red dates and wolfberries, except for Jiang Shiyu, who had to drive in the afternoon and didn't drink it, everyone drank a lot.
