One after another, the building materials were delivered, and the flat and wide riverside was stacked everywhere, and even the space for the feet was left only a winding path.

You can only walk alone.

Chen asked someone to clean up the pond next to the river and then found someone to buy lotus seeds, which, according to the flower seller, are a unique variety of lotus in the area, called Hibiscus Fairy.

The flowering period is long, the flowers and leaves are large, and there are lotus fairies living in it.

The Chen family was moved, only this rare breed is worthy of a strange person like Sui Lian'er.

I placed an order and bought it at that time.

Sui Lian'er didn't care, she planted lotus flowers just to appreciate and eat.

If it was for the lotus fairy, she might as well go to the sea market, where there are many strange treasures.

However, I was deceived and sold her boiled lotus seeds, whose scientific name is lotus seeds, and I was still a little unhappy.

Dial the lotus seed in his hand, pick one up, throw it into his mouth and call Sanniang vaguely, and ask for this and that.

Sanniang smiled and agreed.

Putting on the most luxurious clothes sent by her father, and getting into a luxurious carriage, Shi Shiran walked to the shop that sold seeds.

With a gentle smile, he called the store.

"Shopkeeper, do you have lotus seeds?"

The shopkeeper turned his head to look at it, and his eyes lit up.

He leaned over with a smile on his face.

Slightly flattering, he said, "Yes, yes, what does the girl want?" Is it a lotus seed, or a lotus root. The seeds need to be raised by themselves, and if the girl can't, we can provide seedling services, but for an extra twenty taels of silver. Lotus root, we can also provide door-to-door planting services, the same extra ten taels of silver. ”

Sanniang's slightly sad eyebrows sighed.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

For fear that this business will run away, you must know that none of this girl's rings are fakes, even the bracelets on her wrists are all she has seen on some rich family members who travel and play.

Sanniang smiled softly.

"My grandfather loved lotuses, and when he heard that there was a rare variety in the vicinity, he wanted to buy and plant them, but I looked at the varieties here in the store, and they were not as warm and gorgeous as my grandfather described the August sun, so forget it."

With that, get up and leave.

When I got to the door, I sighed faintly.

"Poor grandfather specially offered a reward of one hundred taels of gold for a peerless variety."

The shopkeeper's heart was beating violently, he got up in a panic, plopped, and hit the counter, not caring about the pain, and hurriedly went to stop Sanniang.

"Wait."

Sanniang turned to look at him and asked what was going on with her eyes.

The shopkeeper leaned next to Sanniang and whispered.

"I also have a rare strain here, and I can guarantee that there is no second plant in the world. It's ......"

Sanniang's eyes moved slightly, slightly excited, and asked in a hurried tone: "What is it?" Money is not an issue? As long as it makes my grandfather happy, as much as I want. ”

As he spoke, he generously took out fifty taels and waved it in front of the store.

"It's a deposit, as long as it's satisfying to my grandfather, it's all fine."

The golden light flashed the shopkeeper's eyes, and the shopkeeper smiled and put away the fifty taels.

"Well said, well said, the girl came with me."

At the back of the shop, there are jars of blooming lotus flowers, delicate and beautiful.

It's like a fairyland.

Sanniang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The lotus in the store is really good!" Only the green lotus and red lotus are innocent. This flower and this leaf often reflect each other, and the emerald reduces the red decay and kills. ”

The shopkeeper said a modest excuse, but his expression was proud.

Soon, in front of a hut, there was a talisman pasted on the door of the hut, although the effect was not clear, but Sanniang's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but stroke the beads on her wrist.

The cool touch on the beads calmed down her heart, which was beating a little faster.

Crossing the threshold, inside is a larger, more delicate and beautiful, like the sun in July and August, with warmth and warmth.

Sanniang hesitated: "This is?" ”

The shopkeeper came to the lotus flower and stroked the lotus leaf with pity, his eyes full of regret and reluctance.

"This is the rare plant I told you, you can see the green of this leaf, full of color and luster, and the water droplets on it will not leave the slightest trace. If you look at this flower, it is delicate and beautiful, and you can feel her enthusiasm through the sun, and this is the first plant that I have cultivated with great effort.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl was a lover of flowers and a person who cherished flowers, I wouldn't want to cut my love. ”

Sanniang leaned over to take a closer look, and slid the water in the tank with her hand.

Originally, he was still a little happy, but he immediately pulled it down, and said lukewarmly: "The store said that this is a rare treasure, I believe it." But the store shouldn't deceive me, this lotus on the surface, it is indeed vibrant, but this vitality is intermittent, the follow-up is weak, it is simply a lotus that is about to die, the store is looking at my young age, coaxing me! ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly, and turned around angrily to leave.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped.

begged for mercy: "The girl has good eyesight, but the girl bought the lotus flower to give it away, although this lotus is about to die, but I can guarantee that at least within a month, it will still be the same as in front of me." ”

Sanniang was suspicious, her expression was slightly loosened, and she was still emphasizing: "I bought it to give it to my grandfather, if my grandfather knows that I gave him a lotus flower that is about to die, then I ......."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper understood, and immediately said categorically: "If the girl doesn't say it, I won't say it, who knows that this lotus is about to die, even if it dies by then, it is the little guy who takes care of the lotus flower who doesn't take good care of it, what's the matter with the girl." ”

Sanniang made a hesitant look.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said bitterly: "Seeing that the girl is so filial, I am in charge, and I will subtract half of the girl, only fifty taels of gold, how about it?" ”

Sanniang was still a little hesitant, and the store promised a lot.

Sanniang reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, I can buy it, but fifty taels of gold, it's impossible, only fifty taels of silver at most."

After speaking, he looked like you had taken a big advantage, and muttered in his mouth: "I spent fifty taels to buy such a lotus that is about to die, and I don't know what my grandfather said about me, a person who cherishes flowers like my grandfather, if the lotus dies in front of him at that time, how sad it will be, otherwise, it's better not to buy it......." ”

Seeing Sanniang's intention to regret it again, the store couldn't care about the heartache, and immediately packed the lotus flowers and sent them to Sanniang.

Pulling the purse in Sanniang's hand with his hand, he sent off the guest with a smile.

"The lotus flowers have been packed, girl, do you want me to find a carriage to help you transport it, or do you want to transport it yourself, if you let me help find the carriage, then this ......."

Rubbing his fingers as he spoke, suggesting that Sanniang give money.

Sanniang snorted coldly, and said reluctantly: "You don't need the store, I have a carriage when I come, and I can carry the flowers up." Why don't you help carry the lotus flowers to my carriage? ”

The shopkeeper held his waist and waved his hand: "I also want to help the girl, but this body is not good, I often have back pain after working for a long time, and the doctor told me to pay attention to rest and not to engage in the tiring work of bending over." ”

Sanniang took out a full purse from her sleeve.

The shopkeeper changed the topic and said, "However, for the sake of the girl's grandfather's love for flowers, this little thing is still bearable." ”

Sanniang threw her purse up and down, glanced at him, and said, "The store's waist doesn't hurt anymore?" ”

The shopkeeper stretches his waist.

"Although it is still a little sore, but for the sake of the girl's filial piety, this small injury is nothing."

Sanniang smiled softly.

"Sanniang is here, thank you here."

The shopkeeper helped move the lotus to the carriage parked outside, and his eyes never took off the purse in his hand for three years.

Sanniang got into the car, threw her purse in front of the store, and urged the driver to leave quickly.

The coachman thought something was wrong, and with a whip he raised, the horse neighed and left.

The shopkeeper immediately took it, happily opened the purse and looked at it, it was as black as the bottom of the pot, cursed non-stop, and angrily smashed the purse to the ground, and a few irregular stones leaked out.

Inside the speeding carriage, Sanniang sneered, and through the window, she saw that the shopkeeper did not chase after her, and ordered the coachman.

"Okay, don't be in such a hurry, walk slowly."

Although the coachman was puzzled, he was honest and obedient, slowing down and comfortable.

casually used ghost power to arrange a knot in the carriage, and Sanniang said softly: "Come out, there is no one left." ”

The lotus swayed gently, as if accumulating strength, and an intermittent sound, as if it was about to die in the next second.

"Thank you girl for your help, but I'm so hurt now that I can't transform into shape, please forgive me."

Sanniang sighed, stroked the lotus leaves, and said pityingly:

"Vitality is bad! You rest first, I'll take you to the water ghost and ask her if there's anything she can do. ”

Lotus said thank you.

Walking the ghost road, soon arrived at the river.

Sui Lian'er raised his eyebrows.

"Yo, when I went out, I brought back a lotus fairy, you are looking at the store to sell us boiled lotus seeds, and you specially asked his baby to come."

Sanniang smiled softly.

"Now that the girl already knows the cause and effect, how can you save her?"

Sui Lian'er walked around the lotus twice.

Pulled out a pink thread and asked Sanniang, do you know what this is?

Sanniang Yaoyao's head.

Sui Lian'er smiled a little meaningfully.

"It's a grudge, but it's also an obsession."

He reached out again and stroked the leaves of the lotus flower, and continued:

"This lotus plant was not cultivated by the store, but was deceived by love words. It is said that I bought it from an old farmer, who loved lotus flowers and became obsessed, and his lifelong wish was to cultivate a lotus flower that is unique in the world.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to work hard in the mountains and forests for ten years.

It's a pity that until the last moment, it was not cultivated, and for a while despair and resentment arose.

Qi and blood surged, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the lotus seed that was being cultivated.

The seed absorbs the blood qi, and the blood is filled with love for lotus flowers, as well as resentment for failing to cultivate the ideal lotus flower. ”

The lotus flower has mutated because of this blood, and it has also changed in the direction that the old farmer loves, day after day, year after year.

Produced a spiritual wisdom and became a lotus fairy.

Sanniang listened intently beside her.

"Then why did it end up in the hands of the store?"
