When Du Qiao was called to the flower garden, the whole person was startled.

The precious green peony that the old lady Liu begged for so much money somehow withered and half of it died.

The left half is intact, and the right half is yellow and withered, and a branch is broken, and the fracture is charred black, like a fire and lightning strike.

"How so?"

As soon as Du Qiao reached out and touched it, the withered yellow leaves fell.

He had obviously carefully maintained it last night, how could it become like this overnight?

Moreover, with his experience in raising flowers, he has never seen any flowers die suddenly, and only half of them are dead, what is going on?

The other gardener was almost crying, "What can I do about this?" the old lady likes this peony very much, and comes to see it every day. ”

Although there are many peonies in Shaozhou, such green peonies are still rare, and the old lady Liu spent a lot of money to buy them back, if something goes wrong, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

"Let's fix it first. Du Qiao said.

Even if it is not to deal with Mrs. Liu, the diseased and dead branches on this peony should be pruned as soon as possible so as not to affect the overall health.

Du Qiao's craftsmanship is very good.

Although the pruned green peony is not as lush as before, there is no sign of death.

Even if Mrs. Liu comes to see it, she should barely be able to pass the test.

But Du Qiao still carefully inspected the green peony again.

No lesions were found, no pests, and he even rummaged through the dirt to make sure there were no rotting roots.

The other gardener, who was also knowledgeable, followed him to check, but he was even more afraid, "How could it be like this when there is no disease or worm......?" he looked at the charred black branch that had been swept aside, "was it a lightning strike?"

Du Qiao was also wondering, "But it didn't rain last night." ”

"It doesn't have to be rain to thunder. The other gardener lowered his voice, "I've heard that the monster is going to be struck by lightning." ”

Du Qiao has also heard of this kind of legend, and he has also seen the traces of many years of old trees after being struck by lightning, which is indeed a bit similar.

But......

Du Qiao moved his gaze back to the green peony, could it be that this peony is a monster?

The other gardener felt that the errand could be handled, and he began to be in the mood to tease Du Qiao, "You are crazy about flowers, I wish this peony would become a beautiful girl and marry home, right?"

At that moment, Du Qiao couldn't help but think of the beauty he rescued from the well that day.

Another gardener looked at him, laughed and patted Du Qiao's shoulder, "Ouch, do you really believe it? It's really a beauty like a peony flower, how can it be your turn? Moreover, goblins want to suck the blood of human sperm, but be careful not to respond to the old saying - peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic." ”

Du Qiao only smiled shyly and did not answer.

A beauty like a peony flower, he has really seen it.

Still talking, still ...... When he thought about the hairpin, he was deflated again, and a gloom welled up in his heart.

I guess I won't see you again.

Ji Xiaoduo thought that he had experienced such a terrible thing and might not be able to sleep at night. But I don't want to sleep until dawn, I haven't even dreamed, and the quality of sleep is so good that I have nothing to say.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ergou sitting on her bedside pedal, a pair of big, dark eyes looking at her without blinking.

Ji Xiaoduo subconsciously covered her face, feeling a little flustered.

Did she droo a lot?

Do you have a sleep mark on your face?

Did you talk in your dreams last night? Did you grind your teeth?

She was thinking about her image in embarrassment, but Ergou had already grinned and showed a silly smile and called her, "Sister." ”

Ji Xiaoduo coughed lightly, barely calmed down, and asked, "You haven't slept all night?"

Ergou nodded, "Guarding my sister, don't be afraid." ”

Ji Xiaoduo reached out and touched his head, and his voice was gentle: "Thank you." ”

Ergou rubbed his forehead in her palm, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

It's not the first time he's done this.

At first, she thought it was cute and interesting, but at this time, Ji Xiaoduo frowned, "Who did you learn this kind of little action from?" she pulled him up, "You are a human, not a real dog." ”

Ergou didn't know why she suddenly got angry, and stood there blankly, at a loss.

"The way people express their happiness and trust......" Ji Xiaoduo said, seeing Ergou blinking, completely incomprehensible, he was a little deflated.

A fool who has been kept as a dog for more than ten years, expect him to know what dignity is?

"Forget it, take your time. Let's start with the name. Calling two dogs and two dogs every day makes you feel that you are really a dog. ”

Ji Xiaoduo took out all the calligraphy that Ergou had visited these days and put it in front of Ergou, "You can pick a word you like." ”

Ergou understood this sentence, his slender fingers slid over the lines of text, and then stopped and looked at Ji Xiaoduo.

A "Mo" word.

Ji Xiaoduo frowned again, what does this word mean, whether it is "field path" or "unfamiliar", it is not too good.

"This word is not good, change it. She said.

Ergou stubbornly nodded on the word "Mo" again.

"Well, if you like it. Ji Xiaoduo sighed, and was a little reluctant, "Pick another one?"

Ergou picked out the word "leave" again.

Ji Xiaoduo: ......

Are you illiterate? What are you picking?

Do you name it, of course, try to bring a good meaning, this is strange and parting, what are you thinking?

But when I think about it, he is really illiterate, and he can write, but he doesn't necessarily understand the meaning.

Ji Xiaoduo could only explain to him and asked him if he wanted to change it again.

Ergou shook his head, simply took a pen and paper again, and wrote the word "Moli" together.

Ji Xiaoduo's eyes widened.

Ergou used to write, all of which were "photocopies", and he had to be given a template before he could write, but these two words were written extremely fluently, and there was another kind of elegant and chic, which was different from all the calligraphy she gave him.

"Huh, will you write by yourself?" Ji Xiaoduo hurriedly handed over another piece of paper, "Write something else?"

If he wanted to write something else, Ergou obediently "copied" another page of the notebook.

Ji Xiaoduo frowned, took the word "Moli" he wrote before, and looked at it carefully, "Can you only write these two words?

Ergou shook his head, "I don't know, just ...... Remember. ”

Do you remember these two words somehow?

Ji Xiaoduo couldn't help but turn her head again and looked at Ergou seriously.

A fool, inexplicably like a photocopier when he writes, and inexplicably like a human radar when he looks for her, inexplicably inexplicably innate divine power, and this inexplicably remembers these two words?

Ergou, is there any secret that no one has discovered?

When they got up this morning, they were talking and writing, and the qu fans on the soft couch were naturally also alarmed, and they hurriedly got up to clean up.

She hadn't slept well all night, and she had dark circles under her eyes. Seeing that Ji Xiaoduo and the two of them were still writing there, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you all afraid......?"

Speaking of this, Qu Fan shuddered and quietly glanced at the half of the branch that was placed on the table and did not throw away.

When I saw it, I was even more scared, and I couldn't help but scream.

Ji Xiaoduo followed and looked over, and also sensed that something was wrong.

After the night, the branch did not change at all, and even the leaves on it were still green, and there was no wilting at all.

This simply doesn't make sense!
