"Bai Yufengxing is too selfish!" Ki said disdainfully.

"Anyway, it's still in heaven. It will see the light of the gem, and it will be angry and scatter the soil, and the river that your father has worked so hard to dredge will be filled in, and the area will be flooded, and the people will have no livelihood. My dear Qi, for the sake of your father, and for the sake of the creatures in this area, you must bury the jewel before dawn. ”

Qi nodded and said, "Please rest assured, as long as there is no more flooding in this area, let alone my beloved gem, even if I bury my whole body here, I agree." ”

Seeing that the land god had made a promise, he left with peace of mind.

With the light of the jewel, he saw the road clearly, climbed the river embankment step by step, and lay down on a piece of grass. She was tired and hungry, and the rice cakes she was carrying gave off an enticing fragrance. But it was for my father. My father hadn't eaten rice cakes from his hometown for more than ten years. I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but I didn't even move the package of the rice cake.

The gemstone glows brightly. He looked at the gem and thought, "How nice it would be if this gem could be eaten!" Then I marked the hole and when my father came back from healing the water, I would share it with him! Thinking about it, I couldn't help but put the gem in my mouth. At this moment, a miracle happened: as soon as the gem reached its mouth, it emitted a fragrance and a sweet juice. After swallowing a few bites, I immediately felt that I was not hungry. Full of strength.

Chi sang and danced happily.

When it was almost dawn, he obeyed the instructions of the gods of the land and blocked the hole with earth. She loved the jewel so much that she buried it alone in the riverbank, marked it, and went down the river to her father.

I don't know how many days and nights I walked, and finally found Yu. She handed the rice cake she brought to Yu. However, Yu distributed all the cakes to the hungry people, but he ate the wild vegetable porridge in the big pot with the hungry people. She was very moved.

Yu dredged the last river and walked back with Qi. Qi told Yu about the discovery of gems and gems that can quench hunger and thirst. Yu said happily: "This is very good, let's go and dig up the gems and distribute them to the hungry people to help them survive the famine." ”

He led Yu to the place where the gem was found. They were amazed to see that on the embankment where the jewel was buried, there was a very large tree. The trees were covered with fruit like jewels.

I picked one from the branch, put it in my mouth and chewed it, hey! It was fragrant, crispy and sweet, and the taste was much stronger than the taste of her gems. Qi picked another one and handed it to Yu, who also thought it was delicious.

It turned out that that night, that gem sensed the words in Qi's heart, and was infiltrated by Qijin~ liquid, and it had aura. Jewel thought: It would be better to spend time buried in the ground for a long time like this, and it would be better to transform into something else and get out of the ground. First, you can enjoy the scenery of nature, and secondly, it is also good for the welfare of human beings. And so, it grew into a big tree. In order not to lose his true face, he bore exactly the same fruit on the tree.

The father and daughter ate a few fruits, and they both felt no longer thirsty, not hungry, and not tired. Yu was very happy, and with Qi's consent, he distributed the fruits of the tree to the hungry people in Jianjin Prefecture.

However, the ground in Jianjin Prefecture was too big and there were too many hungry people, and all the fruits on the trees were distributed, and there were many, many hungry people who did not receive them.

When the hungry people knew that the tree had come out of the tree, they looked at her with begging eyes, and begged her to plant a few more of these fruit trees in the state of Jianjin.

It was daytime at that time, and he was afraid that he would anger Bai Yufengxing with gems during the day. I am afraid that she will scatter soil and block the river that her father has worked so hard to dredge. Then the creatures of this area will suffer again from the flood.

In the evening, my father had not been home for more than ten years, and my grandmother, mother, and brother Qi must have been anxiously waiting for my father to go back; Emperor Shun must also have a lot of things waiting for his father to do.

Qi then said to Yu: "Dad, the child wants to plant some of these fruit trees for the people of Jianjin Prefecture. There's still a lot to do, so let's go first. I stayed here and planted trees. What do you think? ”

Yu saw that Qi was very sensible and could plant fruit trees, so he agreed to her request and went home alone.

He lived in a hungry family. The family is only strong with a mother and a son. Strong is very heroic, and he is good at hunting. The perennial hunting career has trained a pair of scuds, and no matter how fast the beast runs, as long as it is seen by the strong, it will not be able to escape for its life. Qiang's mother was kind and generous, and she divided most of the prey that Qiang beat to the old and weak. The hungry people loved their mother and son.

The arrival of Qi has added new joy to this small family. Especially strong, I can't help but be happy. He thought, "I stayed here to plant trees for the sake of the hungry people in Jianjin Prefecture, and I must help her well." So, he gave up his favorite hunting job, and as soon as the sun came out, he led the hungry people to reclaim the wasteland and create good conditions for planting trees.

Qi also likes this family very much, and gets along well with Qiang. During the day, she helped Qiang's mother with household chores, and as soon as the sun went down, she took the gem out of the hole where she had intervened, put it in her mouth, and planted it in the land that Qiang and the hungry people had cultivated during the day. Day after day, day after day.

Thanks to the cooperation of Qi and Qiang, within a few years, the area of Jianjin Prefecture was overgrown with fruit trees that grew with precious stones as seeds, and the trees were full of gem-like fruits.

Because it came out of the middle of the tree, the people named the tree the tree. The fruit that bears fruit on the tree is called 繅.

In order to distinguish it from the name of the tree, people made a homophone "jujube" according to the nature and meaning of the tree - a "wood" can be removed from the jujube character, indicating that the jujube tree is a woody plant; There is also a "scarf" reflected in the jujube character, indicating that the jujube tree is planted by a woman who can do it. People thought that they couldn't express their respect by writing it once, so they wrote it again, and it formed a traditional character for "棗". The current jujube character was simplified later by simplifying the Chinese characters.

Seeing that people named fruit trees after her, and seeing thousands of hungry people reclaiming wasteland under strong mobilization, they became more interested in planting jujube trees. From the time the sun sets to the time the sun rises, it is planted without stopping.

Planting and planting, blood was caught on her hands, and several layers of skin were worn off on her feet, she ignored it completely, and wanted to plant jujube trees all over the land of Thornjin Prefecture.

At dawn one day, Qi finally fainted on the ground of Jewel Mountain due to exhaustion.

Forcibly dragged Qi, and didn't sleep well all night. I always think of Qi's bloody hands. At dawn, I suddenly felt my heart pounding. He had a premonition that something was wrong with Qi, so he got dressed and went out.

Ran to the place where he took the gem, and saw that he had fainted to the ground, and his heart ached like a knife. He knelt beside him and called out his name. I called for a long time, but I didn't wake up. Hurriedly took Qi home and asked famous doctors to rescue him.

The famous doctors have used all kinds of methods, but they can't do her, shaking their heads and sighing one by one!

Strong anxious. In his grief, he suddenly remembered the god of the land that he had mentioned to him. In desperation, Qiang went to the land temple to pray to the land god and asked the land god to help him wake up.

The god of the land listened to Qiang's prayer and knew that Qi was to keep his promise, so he planted jujube trees all night and night for the tired and faint, and he was very moved. said to Qiang: "Qi is exhausted of mental power and faints." The only thing that could save her from waking up was to drink the holy water in the Nine Dragons Pan on Jiulong Mountain.

"That holy water is the essence of all the night dew. It's just that we are more than 2,000 miles away from Jiulong Mountain, and it will take a month for you to go back and forth. And Qi's life can only last for seven days. ”

When Qiang heard that there was holy water to save Qi, his heart was immediately filled with hope. Confidently said to the god of the land, "I am a Scud." I'm sure I'll get it back in seven days. Tell me the way up the mountain, Noble God. ”

The land god is resolute and resolute when he sees it, and he is very relieved. He said, "Since you are so determined, I will also help you." As he spoke, he took off a piece of the license plate from his body, handed it to Qiang, and said:

"This is our Shinto pass, and when you encounter difficulties on the road, you call out the local gods. When the local gods see this pass, they will help you through it. Then he pointed out the way up the mountain.

Thanked the land god, took the pass plate, and hurried in the direction pointed out by the land god. He travels day and night, rain or shine. With the help of the pass card, the journey was safe. In a few days, they arrived at the foot of Jiulong Mountain.

Jiulong Mountain is a very large mountain, with steep cliffs and very steep cliffs; The green dragon is flying, eerie. Afraid that the green dragon would hurt his body, he took out the pass card, summoned the local god, explained the intention, and asked the local god for help. The local god drank the flying green dragon and told Qiang to hurry up the mountain.

I thanked the local gods, climbed ancient vines, climbed stone walls, and quickly climbed to the mountain. His hands and feet were pierced by sharp stone ridges, and he didn't care to wrap them; Bright red blood flowed from his arms and legs, and he didn't bother to wipe it. Crawl, crawl, crawl without stopping!

When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw that there was a big plate filled with sparkling holy water. And underneath the plate, there are nine green dragons. Probably because of the control of the local gods, the nine green dragons are closing their eyes to recuperate.

Qiang walked lightly to the plate, filled the clay pot he had brought from home with holy water, and carried it in his arms. In order to save time, he hugged the crockpot tightly with both hands and rolled out and slid down the hill.

By the time he reached the bottom of the mountain, he was almost a bloody man, without a piece of good flesh on his body. Every time I moved, it hurt from the heart.

But there are only two days left, and he must rush back in two days! Otherwise, there is no hope for Mo. Thinking of Qi, Qiang's heart was sweet, he opened his scuds, endured the severe pain all over his body, and ran back quickly.

Strong's foot was punctured during the climb, and the road was full of stones and thorns, and he panicked. It didn't take long for the skin on the soles of the feet to be worn off. As soon as it touched the ground, it was a big bloody footprint.

The muscles were not protected by the flesh, and when they stepped on the small stones on the road, they were split into countless small pieces. Then it was crushed again, and fell in the road, and hung on thorns......

Time passes minute by minute, and it is strong to keep running one step at a time. When he ran into the house in pain from deboning and scraping his flesh, the soles of his feet were covered with white bones. When he struggled to pour the holy water he had taken into his mouth, he passed out beside him.

He drank the holy water and immediately woke up. When she saw the bloody people around her, she hugged Qiang's headache and cried. Qi's tears dripped into Qiang's mouth, moistening Qiang's thirsty throat. Strong slowly woke up. He looked at Qi, who had already come to his senses, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Qi and Qiang have slightly recuperated for a while, Qi is going to plant jujube trees, and Qiang is also going to reclaim wasteland. The god of the land, touched by their selfless spirit, hurriedly stopped them, and said sincerely:

"Qi, Qiang, because of Bai Yufengxing's selfishness, you have suffered so much. I can't change Bai Yufengxing's selfishness, but I can help you. Tell me where to plant, and I'll move the gem from under the ground. With the cover of soil, it can be planted during the day. Strong, command! ”

When Qi and Qiang listened to the words of the land god, they were moved to tears. Then he said to the god of the land, "Wherever you see where you should plant, move the gem." Without our guidance, the development of jujube trees will be faster. ”

The land god is very happy to see that Kazuqiang trusts himself so much. Day and night they moved gems under the earth and planted date trees.

Until Qi Xiaoting crossed, the jujube trees in Jianjin Prefecture still did not reproduce without seeds. It was because the god of the earth secretly moved the gem there under the ground, took root and sprouted, and grew a jujube tree.

With the help of the land god, the jujube tree developed rapidly. Jujube trees have grown in Jianjin Prefecture and even the entire Yellow River Basin, and the hungry people have eaten red dates.

After the death of Emperor Shun, Yu inherited the throne. At this time, Qi and Qiang were already deeply affectionate and heart-to-heart. With Yu's consent, Qi married Qiang. Yu gave the "Shengu" seed grass, which is only available in the south, to Qiang as his daughter's dowry.

Qiang is very talented, he distributed the millet to the people of Jianjin Prefecture, teaching people how to plant and how to harvest. He also cultivated millet and millet from the millet. Qi also invented the use of millet flour mixed with red dates and steamed sticky cake - this is our current yellow noodle wowo - the people of Jianjin Prefecture and even the entire Yellow River Basin have lived a comfortable life since then.

A hundred years later, Qi and Qiang went into seclusion, and no one knew their whereabouts.

He invented and planted the jujube tree and was known as the ancestor of jujube. Because she planted the jujube tree at night, every year when the moon rises on the fifteenth day of August, people have to pick a plate of large and red fresh jujubes and offer them to the offering table under the heavens and the earth to show their nostalgia for Qi.
