(189) Leaf spot

After administering needles to the old lady to heal his wounds, Liu Xing came to the back garden of Murong Mansion.

At present, the city of Chiyan is busy repairing after the war, and everything is in order and orderly;

And Murong Chui's ambush is all in the plan, and Liu Xing has nothing to worry about, just sit back and wait for the good news of quelling the chaos;

Wait, the arrival of the moon.

On a rare free day, he can meditate and improve the Yuan Spirit for Xiao Xixi;

Of course, this is also the advice of the old lady.

It is said to be a back garden, but it is actually like a large-scale garden.

Patches of trees, flowers and plants are pruned into green bushes and flower beds, dividing the garden into several separate areas of various sizes;

In the meantime, through hedges, stone corridors, and stone pillars, the scenery is connected to each other, so that the whole garden is integrated;

Coupled with the artificial lakes, row fountains, and sculptures of various spirit animals that are dotted from time to time, the grand atmosphere contains refreshing and smart, green places, and vigorous vitality.

The back garden of Murong Mansion has heavy traces of artificial excavation, but it is elegant and quiet.

Liu Xingzhi sighed, in this world of sand and stone, it is actually possible to create such a quiet and beautiful place.

"Xing'er, you're here!"

Liu Xing looked at the call.

At the corner of the flower bed, a beautiful woman, holding pruning shears, was pruning the fallen leaves on the lavender.

"Mother's ......"

Liu Xing's eyes were distracted, and he muttered in his mouth;

Because the posture, movements, and expressions of the person in front of him are too similar to the appearance of her mother, Gongsun Eying, when she prunes flowers and plants on weekdays.

"Xing'er, your three sisters have told me, but you kept our Chiyan City. ”

"Stepmother...... It turns out that the stepmother also likes to plant flowers and plants. ”

The woman approached slowly, and Liu Xing hurriedly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

"I've been worried these days, I haven't been able to take care of it for a long time, and now that the rebels have been repulsed, and you are all safe, I'll take the time to take a look. ”

"That's just right, Xing'er is here to help. ”

The longing for his mother has not become indifferent with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense;

Liu Xing only hopes that he can accompany this stepmother more in this beautiful garden.

He walked quickly into the flower bed and picked up the dead leaves that his stepmother magnolia had just pruned.

"Okay! I just finished trimming these lavender, and there are a lot of thyme over there, and my stepmother is worried that there is no one to help. ”

"Mother-in-law, there are a lot of fallen leaves in here, and they can't be left in the flower bed!"

Yulan was about to move, and she couldn't help but be curious when she saw Liu Xing carefully picking up the freshly pruned fallen leaves.

"Dead leaves can be used as nourishment for flowers and plants in the coming year, why does Xing'er say this. ”

"Most leaves are okay, but these are not!"

Liu Xing handed the leaf in his hand to his stepmother Yulan, and continued to explain:

"Look, mother-in-law, there are many yellowish and festering spots on these leaves, so it can be seen that they are not dried up because of dehydration, but most of them are infected with leaf spot. ”

"Leaf spot!?"

Magnolia likes to grow flowers and raise flowers, but has little in-depth research on flower and plant diseases.

"Well, leaf spot disease is relatively common, and as long as it is not spread in a large area, it will not cause much harm to flowers and plants. From the current point of view, the lavender of the stepmother is growing well, and the leaf spot disease is not serious. It's just that these diseased leaves rot into the soil and are absorbed by the flower roots, so that the whole bead can hardly survive, at least three to five days, and at most ten days, once it spreads, other flowers and plants will also be affected. ”

"No wonder! In the past, there were always many flowers and plants in the garden, and suddenly a large number of them died; I always thought that it was caused by the cold weather and the increase in wind and sand; Xing'er, my stepmother understood this. ”

Magnolia followed, picking up sick lavender leaves.

Many plants and trees in the garden, like lavender and thyme, are cold and drought tolerant, so the climate will not have much impact on these flowers and plants. In the future, the stepmother can put more effort into insect prevention and treatment. ”

"Well, your three sisters praise you, you are good at cultivating Yuan, and you are good at spiritual arts, but I can't imagine that Xing'er is also very good at raising flowers; ”

"In my house, there is also a big garden, which was taught by my mother when I was a child......"

Liu Xing stood silently, his eyes full of sadness.

The unintentional words of the stepmother Yulan aroused Liu Xing's pain.

"Xing'er, why don't you tell your stepmother how to prevent leaf spot!"

Magnolia quickly diverted the topic.

Liu Xing also quickly adjusted his mood.

"Well, it's not difficult. The stepmother can use lime and bluestone powder, mixed with water, in the spring budding of flowers and plants and the summer and autumn alternate seasons of branches and leaves, a small amount of watering on the leaves of all kinds of flowers and plants in the garden, so that not only leaf spot, but also all kinds of insect pests, can not only prevent and cure ......"

"Wow!"

As he was talking, Xiao Xixi in his fingers suddenly jumped out again;

Running straight into the flowers, looking left and right, and biting a few from time to time;

It may be that it doesn't suit the taste, and soon spit out the petals again.

"Xiao Xixi, don't be mischievous, you will destroy your stepmother's flowers!"

Liu Xing greeted anxiously.

Xiao Xixi blinked at Liu Xing as if she hadn't heard it, wagged her tail, and ran away with a smoke.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xing'er, it's the spirit beast you found in the Rainbow Oasis, it's very well-behaved and naughty!"

Yulan was amused by Xiao Xixi's actions.

Xiao Xixi is still a cub, grandmother Lao Taijun said, the back garden is secluded, call me over, is to step up to improve its Yuan Ling. ”

"I see! I don't know much about Xiuyuan and Imperial Spirit, Xing'er, then I won't delay you, you will go to Zhongting Lake in front, which is spacious and quiet, and on weekdays, the old lady and Mingzhi sisters are all practicing there. ”

"There's no hurry, it's not an overnight thing to improve the Yuan Spirit, Xing'er will accompany her stepmother to finish pruning here. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xing took the pruning shears and started to move.

"That's good! ”

As a mother, her stepmother Yulan can see that Liu Xing wants to preserve the warmth and beauty of staying with her mother.

As a stepmother, what she has to do at this time is to give Liu Xing as much comfort and care as possible.

In the quiet and beautiful back garden, the two talked about the experience of planting flowers and pruning the branches, and it was a whole day to wander.

In the evening, as Magnolia had shown earlier, Liu Xing came to the center of the whole garden;

The Zhongting Lake in front of you is not large, but it is very exquisite;

Not only around the lake, but even in the lake, there are flower beds;

The turquoise lake water is clear and transparent, and all kinds of flowers are purple and red;

Soft water reflects flowers, flowers shine on water, still flowers reflect water, water shines on flowers, although it is not as bright and fantastic as Tianhong Lake, pure beauty and nature of Xingyue Lake, it has its own exquisite elegance and quietness, and it is an excellent place for meditation and cultivation.
