Chapter Eighty-Six: The Lychee Tree
After the chief and the village chief sent the tax collectors away, they all came to the Xiang family's house, and every time they came to the Xiang family's house, they would feel extremely comfortable.
"Hanlin, the air in your house seems to be sweet, sitting here, everyone feels comfortable."
Old Man Xiang was nervous in his heart, but his face did not show a look, and after taking out the cigarette pouch pole and lighting it, he said with a smile: "Maybe our house is close to the back mountain, and there are many trees here, so the air has become infinitely better." ”
The chief walked out of the hall and stood in the courtyard, skimming the roof and looking at the mountain behind, and saw the lush greenery, a large area of trees with lush branches, and sure enough, the air was really better than living in the village.
"Han Lin, don't you have fruit trees in your backyard?" The lieutenant wanted to go to the backyard to have a look, but the door was closed, and it was clear that outsiders were not allowed to enter the backyard.
"I planted a few acres of vegetable land, and the rest was wasteland, and I will build two more houses when my grandchildren get married." Old Man Xiang said lightly.
The lieutenant nodded in approval, changed the conversation, and led the topic to the fruit trees: "Han Lin, can you help the villagers go up the mountain to find some fruit trees, instead of coming to you every year to pick fruits, it is better for them to find fruit trees by themselves and plant them in their own yards." ”
Xiang Hanlin was stunned for a moment, what did he hear, what did he mean to come to me every year to pick fruits......
Xiang Hanlin didn't expect that his kindness actually made Li Chang move this idea, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, the fruit trees in the mountains that grow well are all in the deep mountains, and they don't know it.
Since he made this suggestion, he definitely didn't want to go deep into the mountains to transplant fruit trees, so his goal was the circle of fruit trees on the outskirts of their yard.
"I'll have to wait for the rich and noble to come back and discuss." Old Man Xiang took the last puff of cigarette and knocked the cigarette pouch and pot on the soles of his feet, perhaps with too much force, and his feet were really hurt by himself.
The village chief naturally knew that the old man was angry, so he could only smile awkwardly, he didn't want to do this, but he was the village chief, and he didn't want his own villagers to go hungry, so he cheekily came to the old man's wool.
At noon, Fugui's sister-in-law hugged Fubao, Fugui and several children held firewood in their hands, carried a basket on their backs, and happily ran home.
Xiangshan knew that as long as Fubao entered the mountain, they could always catch good things, and now the hares and pheasants are the fattest time, whether it is stewed in chicken soup or fried hares with chestnuts, they are very delicious.
Old Man Xiang took Fu Bao, felt that the little girl's eyes seemed to be a lot brighter, and he was sincerely happy, and carried Fu Bao into his own room, he had something important to discuss with Fu Bao.
"Fubao, the chief and the village chief have come, they want every villager in Xiangzhang Village to plant their own fruit trees, do you want to ...... the fruit trees in my backyard?"
Fu Bao nodded, there are as many fruit trees as there are, but the merit value is not casual, and after the outer fruit trees are removed, she can completely plant another circle of fruit trees in the inner perimeter.
Seeing Fu Bao nodding, Old Man Xiang also understood, let the villagers transplant fruit trees tomorrow, seventy-five fruit trees, and each household can get two trees.
No, now in addition to their own families, there should be 34 families in Xiangzhang Village, and the Li Chang's family has been divided, and one family has become four, so there are three more, and 68 fruit trees need to be transplanted.
Thinking of this, the old man Xiang was a little reluctant in his heart, how much effort those fruit trees carried by Fubao, I didn't see that these fruits grew extraordinarily good-looking, and they tasted extraordinarily sweet and juicy.
The next day, as soon as the Xiang family finished lunch, the chief and the village chief came to the door, and when they learned that the old man Xiang was willing to give the villagers two fruit trees for each family, they were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was decided that each household would have a chestnut tree, and as for the other fruit trees, everyone would draw the number, and then choose in order according to the number in hand.
The people outside are writing numbers and drawing numbers, cheering loudly in the front, and those in the back are not discouraged, anyway, the chestnut trees they need must be there, and the others are just adding heads.
Fu Bao was lying in her room again and began to collect merit points, and she now knew how to get more merit points.
It took three full days for the villagers to dig up the fruit trees, and Fu Bao also spent three full days to collect merit points.
In the dead of night, Fu Bao's spiritual power was emanated, the branches and leaves of the fruit trees in the yard were swaying, and the crops in the field were also windless, all absorbing the spiritual power deliberately scattered in the spiritual power.
The spiritual power continued to spread into the mountains, and slowly, the sleeping animal was awakened, followed the spiritual power and ran, and finally stopped in front of a lychee tree deep in the mountains.
When Fu Bao was the king of camphor, he knew that the most valuable fruit in this dynasty was lychee, and the rich and powerful people in the imperial city all took lychee as the standard.
The original name of lychee is Lizhi, which means that if it leaves the branch, the color changes in one day, the fragrance changes in two days, the taste changes in three days, and the color and fragrance are all gone in four or five days.
It is precisely because of the difficulty of keeping fresh that lychees are so precious, and if any of the nobles of the imperial city entertain guests, there is a pot of fresh lychees on the table, which is a very long face.
The vine automatically fell off Fu Bao's wrist, and then escaped through the open window, and with Fu Bao's spiritual power, he came to the lychee tree and began to get busy.
The sleeping old man Xiang was woken up by the rustling sound in his backyard, he hurriedly got dressed, and woke up Grandma Xiang at the same time.
The two didn't dare to light the oil lamp, but quietly opened the window and secretly looked into the backyard, but fortunately, the moonlight was bright tonight, and everything in the yard could be seen clearly.
As far as they could see, something seemed to be coming and going in the wide courtyard, making the whole yard dusty and flying sand and rocks.
I don't know how long it took, the flying dust slowly sank, and everything in front of me gradually became clearer, and it turned out that there was a circle of fruit trees in the yard.
Grandma Xiang also saw a thick vine falling from the sky and flying directly to the window of Fubao's house, this discovery shocked Grandma Xiang, and hurriedly opened the door and went to Fubao's room.
It turned out that after Fu Bao turned one year old, she insisted on living alone, otherwise she wouldn't eat or sleep, and they had no choice but to follow Fu Bao's will and arrange her room.
When Grandma Xiang stepped into Fu Bao's room, Fu Bao was already so tired that she was on the kang, closed her eyes and breathed, this was the first time she drove the tree vine to the mountains to transplant fruit trees.
The vines were indeed strong, and the fifty-five lychee fruit trees obediently moved over by themselves under the pressure of the vines, and officially settled in the backyard of the Xiang family.
In order to drive the tree vines, Fu Bao used up his spiritual power and squandered the spiritual power in the spirit, so that the spirit could automatically absorb the spiritual power in the mountain to restore the spiritual power.
