Xu Youcai's body trembled, Sun Li's movements froze, Ji Huo'er's head turned not far away, and then three voices with different tones sounded.

"Ahh

"Ahh ”

"Ahh

Xu Youcai was panicked, Sun Li was sighing, and Ji Huo'er was ...... Excited.

"Okay, good!" Ji Huo'er said three good words in a row, and then his face turned grim, and he looked at Xu Youcai, "Who are you, how did you break into the garden, and keep this tree for a year...... No...... Decade...... No...... One hundred years. That's right, you crushed this dragon's claw phoenix that has been raised for a hundred years, how do you say you will pay for it!"

Ji Huo'er's voice became higher and higher, while Xu Youcai's face turned green with fright, and he said in a voice so small that only he could hear it: "I...... I didn't mean to......"

"If you don't mean it, you don't have to pay for it, do you know how valuable this dragon claw phoenix is. Dragon claw phoenix, a dragon word and a phoenix word, you know how precious it is just by these two words, and you actually stepped on it?"

"I ...... I ......" Xu Youcai was speechless.

"By the way, you called it just now, it seems that you were calling someone, you are here to find someone, right?" Suddenly, Ji Huo'er's tone changed and asked.

"Uh-huh. Xu Youcai nodded again and again.

"You're looking for him, right?" Ji Huo'er pointed at Sun Li, and then asked again.

"Oh......" Xu Youcai hesitated for a moment, looked at Sun Li's non-angry expression, and then nodded his head, "Hmm." ”

"That's much easier, since you're here to find him......" Ji Huo'er dragged out her voice, her face showed a triumphant expression, and she pointed at Sun Li suddenly, "Then let him help you compensate." ”

"Ah, this can't work, this can't work......" Xu Youcai shook his head quickly, "It's really not good, I'll compensate me, don't let the benefactor ......"

As a result, before Xu Youcai's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ji Huo'er waving his hand, and then Ji Huo'er walked straight to Sun Li's side, "How about it, you compensate for him." ”

"I ......" Sun Li spoke, but he was interrupted by Ji Huo'er arbitrarily after only saying one word, "Don't say no, I said it, everyone and everything in this garden must listen to me, and if I say that you will compensate, you will have to compensate!"

"Oh. Sun Li responded, and then walked to the side of the broken dragon claw phoenix, and said while helping the dragon claw phoenix, "Actually, what I want to say is that there is no problem with me to compensate, but this dragon claw phoenix is not as precious as you say, and it looks like it has only grown for twelve or three months." Besides, the vitality of this dragon claw phoenix is already tenacious, and breaking some branches does not hinder major events at all, and it can continue to grow. ”

"You talk nonsense. ”

"No, I'm telling the truth, as long as this dragon claw phoenix is watered in time, it will be able to return to its original appearance in less than half a month. ”

"Impossible!" Ji Huo'er denied with a cold face.

"Possibly. Sun Li responded calmly.

"Okay, then you can water, I'll see if it's okay." Ji Huo'er's face changed, revealing an angry expression, "If it doesn't work, I'll ...... So I told the elders that you were lazy, didn't work, and deliberately trampled on flowers and plants......"

"Oh. Sun Li looked at Ji Huo'er in surprise.

"Oh what, oh, that's what I said!" Ji Huo'er said domineeringly, "By the way, don't forget to water today's water, if you accidentally water the flowers to death, I will tell the elders about you......"

"Is it right to be lazy, not working, and deliberately stepping on flowers and plants?" Sun Li said with a little helplessness, then shook his head and stopped speaking, and walked directly to the well with two empty buckets to redraw water, "I know, let's talk about it then." ”

"Hmph. Ji Huo'er stopped talking, and Sun Li came back from fetching water, but saw Xu Youcai standing cautiously on the side, not daring to move, like a primary school student who was punished for standing. looked at his eyes, and he wanted to speak again.

Sun Li knew very well what Xu Youcai was thinking at this time, he just wanted to help atone for his sins, but he was embarrassed or didn't dare to speak, lest he cause something else.

Sun Li could see that if he didn't let the other party work to get rid of this psychological baggage, he was afraid that the other party would lose sleep tonight.

"Alas. Sun Li sighed, handed over his bucket and said, "Water that flower for me, water it slowly, don't wash away the soil." ”

"Well, got it, benefactor. Xu Youcai's eyes lit up, and he almost grabbed the bucket and poured it carefully on the flower.

Sun Li looked at Xu Youcai's movements on the side and shook his head secretly, people are good, but how can you say that you do bad things with good intentions......

After a long time, the last two buckets of water were poured, Xu Youcai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sun Li, "Benefactor, do you think there is anything else I can help with?"

"No, let's get here today. Sun Li said softly, Xu Youcai replied with disappointment, and then walked out of the garden with a guilty face and walked away.

Sun Li left behind Xu Youcai, but as soon as he stepped out of the garden door, he heard Ji Huo'er snort coldly, "Don't forget, you have to come to water on time tomorrow!"

"Hmm. Sun Li nodded and walked out of the garden.

Then, on the second day, I arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time, fetched water from the well and began to water the flowers silently. Throughout the afternoon, Sun Li spent the whole afternoon, pouring just the right amount of water on each flower. Then when he was about to finish watering, Sun Li's movements stopped, put the bucket on the ground, and looked towards the garden gate, just in time to see Xu Youcai, who was running in a hurry, looking at himself with anticipation, "Benefactor, why don't I help you?"

Sun Li naturally handed the bucket in his hand to Xu Youcai, and said, "Yes, it's more troublesome to have a few flowers left, you can help me water them all." ”

"Good. Xu Youcai was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the bucket and poured it.

In the next few days, it was the repetition of this day, and Sun Li would consciously leave a little work for Xu Youcai to do every day. There won't be a lot, but it's not too little, just enough to make Xu Youcai feel tired and repay his kindness.

And then just like that, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, the days were as calm as water, but Sun Li's heart slowly became anxious.

Because, in the past half a month, there has been no progress in his plan to steal the heart of the tree, and even where the heart of the tree is in Jinhua Mountain is not clear now.

This can't go on like this!

One day half a month later, Sun Lipan sat in his residence, frowning and thinking, and then heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Huh?" Sun Li opened the door and found that outside the door was a disciple of the outer sect of Jinhua Mountain that he had never seen before.

"This senior brother, is there something wrong?"

"Your name is Sun Li, right?" the other party did not answer the question, but asked directly.

Sun Li nodded, "I am." ”

"That's good. The other party was obviously relieved, and quickly handed over a letter, "This is your letter, written to you by your uncle Song Daquan in Ping'an County, you can take it." ”

"Well, there's Senior Brother Lao. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's gone. With that, the disciple hurriedly turned around and ran into the distance.

Sun Li's eyes flashed as he looked at the bulging green sac on the other party's shoulder, and he could probably guess that this should be a disciple who was a miscellaneous servant like a "messenger".

So, this letter......

Sun Li's gaze swept over the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again, and quickly observed the surroundings with the residual light of his eyes. After discovering that there was no one, he immediately flashed into the room and closed all the doors and windows firmly.

Suddenly, the room went dark, and it was noon, but it was dusk.

Commanding, Sun Li lit an oil lamp with a solemn face, slowly opened the letter, and read it word by word, not even letting go of a trace of ink, not a single crease.
