Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Little Tree Bears Fruit
The schedule for the top 64 to enter the top 32 is only one day, and after the game, according to the organizer's arrangement, everyone only has one day to rest.
This time, their opponents are all inhuman, and the order of play that was negotiated in advance was also led by Li Daosheng, after all, the last game was played by Lu Yisheng in the ring. Re, as the sword fairy prince who despises Lu Yisheng the most in the team, he naturally wants to show how fierce he is in the ring.
But this battle in the ring made him feel extremely disappointed, because the opponent this time was really terrifyingly weak, maybe even half of the strength of King Kong and their team could not reach, and the reason why they were able to enter the top 32 was purely lucky, and the opponents he met in the draw along the way were all weak teams, so the battle was less than half a minute before Li Daosheng ended.
After entering the top 16, Chen Xian made a decent dinner for everyone on the rest day arranged by the organizer, this time it was also after the Chen family's old house was renovated, everyone ate there for the first time, in addition to his own team members, Chen Xian also invited the old liar, and the tree that has been forgotten by everyone in the bureau.
That's right.
The tree was almost forgotten.
Since the beginning of the Kunlun Society, it has been placed in his office by Chen Xian, and it only has a few dozen minutes a day to meet with everyone, and other times it either stays quietly in the office, or sneaks out to wander around the substation, but no matter how much it wanders, it can't relieve its inner depression...... According to the observation of the psychiatrist in the sub-bureau, if the tree is left alone and no one chats with it, maybe it will suffer from some mental illness, and it may commit suicide on hunger strike.
Although Chen Xian has always felt that this tree is a chicken rib, it is completely a perfunctory reward gift used by the headquarters of the Secret Bureau, but ...... Chen Xian is also an emotional person, after all, he listens to this tree every day, so after getting the advice of the psychiatrist, he decided to take this tree with him as soon as possible.
If you think about it, it's a bit pitiful to leave a conscious and thinking individual at home, with no one to play with it and no one to chat with it.
Maybe it was Chen Xian's conscience that moved the tree, or maybe the tree couldn't help but want to get pregnant after holding it for too long...... The day after the dinner, Chen Xian unexpectedly noticed a fruit on the right branch of the tree.
"! You got the result?! ”
When Chen Xian saw the fruit, which was no more than the size of peanuts, he couldn't help but spit out the fragrance, because he had only approached the botanists in the bureau not long ago, and after their many observations and discussions on this tree, they all felt that this tree might be infertile.
But I never expected it...... This tree is there!
Hearing Chen Xian's exclamation, everyone ran out of the house one after another, and even Lu Yisheng, who was helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen, crawled to the ground.
"Ouch, this is the blossoming of the iron tree...... Lu Yisheng wrapped his apron and his hands were still covered with foam, dressed like a peasant woman, and his mouth was also very broken, "I didn't expect you, an old hen that can't lay eggs, to be old enough to have children...... Have you been visiting Guanyin lately? ”
"This fruit is so small...... It should have just grown......" Li Daosheng simply took out a magnifying glass, aimed at the small fruit and studied it carefully, and said something in his mouth, "How old is this to be considered ripe......"
"It's ripe when you fall off." Xu Yanan said, also looking at the fruit curiously, "I just don't know what effect this fruit will have if I eat it...... Chen Xian, do you think this will be the fruit of eating and becoming an immortal? ”
"I don't think so."
Chen Xian said, also carefully observing the fruit that had just borne fruit.
It was the size of a peanut, and it had a dark, dull hue throughout, with some cracked markings scattered on it, if only to look at...... Chen Xian felt that the taste of this fruit might not be very good, and if he got closer, he could smell a bitter taste similar to traditional Chinese medicine.
"Chen Xian, Chen Xian! Can I take a bite and taste what it tastes like? Xiao Muhe grabbed the corner of Chen Xian's clothes and looked at the little fruit with an expectant face, "I'll just lick it, I won't eat it!" ”
"No, this hasn't been washed yet, how dirty it is......" Chen Xian said with a frown.
But at this moment, Xiao Muhe had already leaned up without any scruples, stretched out his tongue and licked it violently on the fruit, not giving Chen Xian a chance to stop her at all...... But it was such a small sip that directly made Mu He roll his eyes, coughing and retching uncontrollably.
"Good...... It's so unpalatable...... It's so bitter......" Xiao Muhe wiped his mouth with teary eyes, looked at Chen Xian and asked, "Why don't you stop me!" ”
“???”
Chen Xian's face was a question mark, and even Li Daosheng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but help Chen Xian defend himself: "That's what you took the initiative to lick...... The boss didn't stop you if he wanted to......"
"That's why he didn't have the heart to stop him!" Mu He said angrily.
"That's right! No heart! Xu Yanan showed a gloating expression.
"Hey, hey! Can you be quieter? I can't be noisy when I'm pregnant with fruit! Otherwise, it will be born prematurely! ”
As the saying goes, the mother is precious by the son, the tree is expensive by the fruit, since the moment the fruit bears on the branches, the little tree is no longer the tree that is both low-key and loves to pat on the back, it has the confidence to speak dozens of times, and Chen Xian and others around it have become the seven aunts and eight aunts who came to visit the pregnant woman, and they can only follow it, even Chen Xian is no exception, after all, this fruit is supreme and noble...... How long did it take to grow such a one!
"Little tree, do you want to eat something to replenish your body?" Chen Xian cautiously asked for its opinion.
"The nutrient solution you brought me from the Yin City last time was good, let's have some more, the more that stuff, the better!" Xiaoshu said, and unceremoniously put forward some of his own requirements during pregnancy, "You are not allowed to quarrel in front of me, speak quietly, and then make me happy and make me happy, you have to let me do whatever I want...... That's right! If you go to the competition, I'll go too! I'm going to watch you guys play! ”
"We can try to meet the first and last requirements, but the middle one ...... What do you want to do, we have to let you do it? Chen Xian leaned in front of the little tree with an expressionless face, and gently flicked his fingers on its branches, "It's so powerful to bear a fruit...... Dare to ask me for that? ”
"Oh, Section Chief Chen, don't be angry, didn't I say it...... fun?"
Sure enough, in front of Chen Xian, the tree softened in less than five seconds, completely losing the momentum it had before, and his speech became low, complaining pitifully.
"When I give birth, it's the same as you humans who are pregnant, and sometimes I don't feel very comfortable, so I ask for a little more......
"Do you know what this fruit you are bearing does?" Chen Xian asked quietly, with a little expectation in his eyes.
"Didn't I say it, I don't know......" Xiaoshu said very aggrieved, "You will only know if you eat it...... Section Chief Chen: Do you know Schrödinger? ”
Hearing this, Chen Xian said expressionlessly.
"If you tell me again that this is Schrödinger's fruit, I'll let Lao Lu burn you as firewood."
“……”
Since there was a letter with it when he received the tree, Chen Xian got a lot of useful information in that letter, such as...... The fruit of this tree ripens very quickly, and it usually only takes a few hours to complete it all from the moment it bears fruit.
Isn't it just a few hours?
Chen Xian can afford to wait.
"It's only ten o'clock in the evening, and this fruit will definitely fall before the sun comes out tomorrow, I'm here to guard, you go and rest first."
Chen Xian moved a small bench and sat next to the small tree, dragging his chin with both hands and staring at the fruit, and said without raising his head.
"Lao Lu, you take the sixth child to the side room to rest, the mattress and quilts are all new and haven't been made yet, you can get it yourself...... Yanan, you and Xiao Muhe went to sleep in the master bedroom, the bones and the little ones went to sleep in the study, and if you want to eat snacks, go to the living room to get them, all of which I just bought today. ”
"What about you?" Xu Yanan asked, "What are you waiting here?" ”
"Anyway, I won't be sleepy, just wait, and when the fruit falls, I'll tell you to get up and have a look."
Chen Xian smiled and raised his head to glance at Xu Yanan.
"You should rest more, but tomorrow you will play."
