Chapter 52: The Bamboo House Qinghui

Li Qingxue didn't ask why Lin Dui was able to come and go at will in the Suoyuan Flower Forest, and Lin Dui didn't say anything. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because Li Haining forced him to ask, he was very sensitive to this question. This kind of peculiarity happens to a person, and it is easy to think that he has a strange art or a strange treasure, and it invites all kinds of coveting. The girl didn't seem to care about it, which made him trust him a little more.

It was not early, and the two children walked all the way without meeting anyone. Along the bluestone road, through a large area of fields, a bamboo forest suddenly appeared in front, the stone road passed through the middle of the bamboo forest, after several twists and turns, the eyes suddenly opened up, showing a simple and elegant small village. The village is surrounded by green water, flowers and trees, and a round of jade disk-like turquoise full moon hangs high above the village, painting the houses with a ghostly color. Laughter and laughter could be heard in the distance, and the lights and candles could be faintly seen swaying in the darkness. The breeze brings a fragrant fragrance, and the bamboo leaves gently shake to reveal the shadow of February and March outside the forest. A real hideaway.

Lin Dui was relaxed for a while. Crossing a shallow stream, Li Qingxue suddenly stopped, pointed to a three-story bamboo building on the edge of the village, took out a pen and wrote a few words in a notebook, and handed it to Lin Dui: "That's my house." ”

"Ah, your buildings are made of bamboo?"

Lin Du observed with great interest, quite curious, and then looked at the other houses, and found that there was a house surrounded by naturally growing flowers and trees, which seemed to be planted with a circle of flowers and plants, and after pruning, it directly surrounded the wall, and the pointed roofs were also made of growing flower branches, and the houses were entangled with countless vines, colorful flowers and leaves, and they were extremely lively. Lin Dui's eyes straightened all of a sudden.

Li Qingxue followed his gaze, couldn't help but smile softly, and wrote: "Over there is the house of the fourth grandfather, built with brocade flowers. ”

"Brocade flowers, what a strange flower name!" Lin Dui had never heard of this kind of flower, it seemed that it was the same as the Suoyuan flower, it was a plant unique to this space.

"It is a kind of flower cultivated by the fourth grandfather, the stalk is very thin and tough, and it grows denser than a reed, and the fourth grandfather said that it can be used to weave cloth, so it is called a brocade flower. The girl continued.

"But if you build a house like this, won't it leak when it rains?" Lin Du couldn't help but worry about the villagers.

"No, the tapestry absorbs water, and the stalks and foliage on the top are dense. The girl wrote again. In fact, the key point she didn't mention was that there was no heavy rain in the valley at all, but the girl who had never been out of the valley thought that all the rain was so soft and comfortable.

"What if the flower dies?" Lin Dui regained his curious baby nature.

"I don't know. Brocade flowers don't die, I've never seen them die. ”

The girl finally couldn't answer. She put away the notebook and pulled Lin Dui, who was still looking around, to the front of her courtyard quickly. Outside the bamboo building, there are three half-human-high walls, and the walls are full of green vines such as creepers, and a few small flowers are scattered in between. The girl pushed open the half-hidden bamboo door, turned around and smiled softly at Lin Du, and then took his hand into the courtyard.

The yard is not large, no more than ten meters long and wide. There are several layers of stone steps in front of the building, about half a meter high, two flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the stone steps, and more than a dozen pots of flowers are neatly placed. Lin Du knew that Li Qingxue's sister and brother were learning flower essences, and this valley was full of flowers and plants, so she didn't feel strange to see this.

The lights flickered in front of the bamboo window on the first floor, and when I saw a figure flashing, the door was pushed open, and half of Li Qingshi's body was poked out. The boy roared urgently: "Sister, come and help me, the star flower I raised is going to die again, and the fourth grandfather will definitely beat my ass, my poor ass...... Eh, did you really bring him back?"

The next moment, the door of the building opened, Li Qingshi ran out lively, rushed to the two of them like a gust of wind, looked Lin Du up and down, and asked his sister: "Sister, will he live in our house in the future?

Li Qingxue gestured and said, "Let him live in our house first, and I will go to the fourth grandfather tomorrow." ”

"Well, Daddy isn't at home, you have the final say. Li Qingshi spread his hands a little helplessly, smiled at Lin Duan, and jumped around him and said: "Look at you are so short, you are only six years old, right? I am nine years old, my name is Qingshi, what is your name? Where are you from? By the way, your body is dirty and smelly, but you have to take a good shower and change your clothes, I can lend you my clothes to wear first." ”

A series of questions popped up like popping beans, leaving Lin Du at a loss for knowing which one to answer first. In fact, he had just taken a bath in the pond the night before, but his clothes were tattered and a little dirty, mixed with the smell of earth and grass. Seeing Li Qingshi mention it, his face couldn't help but flush slightly.

"Eh, why is your face red? Look, sister, he's blushing! like a little girl!" Li Qingshi stared at Lin Dui's face with wide eyes, shouting as if he had discovered something new, which made Lin Dui very embarrassed. Lin Du thought to herself, isn't this weird, can't the boys here be shy?

Li Qingxue knew that her younger brother talked a lot, and she was afraid that he would say something that would make Lin Du uneasy, so she hurriedly took his hand in disgust, gestured and asked him what was wrong with Xingluohua. Li Qingshi grabbed his hair with his hands in annoyance: "I raised flowers to death last time, and this time the star flower given by the fourth grandfather is going to die again, sister, what do you say I should do? I just said that I can't learn flower essence, I can't grow flowers, you still have to let me learn!"

Li Qingxue waved her hand, signaling him not to worry, and led a boy into the bamboo building with one hand.

The living room on the first floor is simply furnished, with only a few bamboo and wood tables and chairs, and two pots of orchids on the square table at the front door, which are very fresh and elegant. The east and west sides of the living room are the kitchen and storage room, but since the sister and brother learned the flower essence, the storage room has been used to make a flower room. Li Qingxue couldn't resist her younger brother, so she had to go to the flower room first to see his dying flowers.

Since the Li clan lived in seclusion in Liuli Valley, because of the abandonment of bloodline ability, there were very few people who were born with cultivation qualifications. There are more than 100 people in the four generations in the valley, and only seven or eight people can practice. Qingxue and Qingshi are twin siblings, Qingxue has a near-first-class cultivation qualification, but unfortunately he was born a mute, although Qingshi is sound but has no cultivation ability at all. Although the people in the valley have no quarrel with the world, but everyone always has to learn one or two skills, Qingxue has followed the fourth grandfather to practice and learn flower essence for half a year, so she simply brought this younger brother who only knows how to be naughty and mischievous on weekdays.

Qingshi is not completely without talent for flower essence, but he doesn't care at all, every time the fourth grandfather left the homework of raising flowers, picking flowers, and soaking flower essence essence, Qingxue completed it for him. Gradually, Qingxue realized that going on like this would only make his younger brother more lazy, and in the end he couldn't learn anything, so he simply let go and stopped helping him.

Li Qingshi hurriedly dragged his sister into the flower room, and Lin Du followed behind like a little tail, looking around silently. The bamboo building was empty, and I didn't see adults come out for so long. Looking at Li Qingxue's faction as the master of the house, it seems that there are no adults at home, or adults have been out for a long time and have not returned.

The flower room has bamboo windows on three sides, which is very well ventilated, and the windows on the south side are particularly spacious, and the five layers of wooden planks under the windows are built in the shape of steps, and each layer of wooden planks is filled with flower pots. Some pots are planted with lush flowers, some pots have young seedlings just unearthed, and some are bare, and the flowers have not yet germinated, and there is a pot of flowers that are listless, and the leaves have already withered and yellowed. Li Qingshi walked over and held the pot of flowers in front of his sister, and said dejectedly: "Sister, look, they are all dead! You can help me find a way, the fourth grandfather said, if this pot of star flowers can't bloom, he will make my ass bloom!"

There is a great deal of knowledge in raising and protecting flowers, especially for some rare and delicate flowers and plants. Watering, ventilation, and sufficient light, these are basic cares, regular fertilization and catching insects are also essential, some flowers will get sick if they are not careful, and they will die when they are sick, and there is no way to recover, this pot of star roses is like this. As soon as Li Qingxue saw the wilting appearance of its leaves, she knew that it was a blight, this disease was very fast, and it was estimated that the flower would die completely before dawn, and she was helpless, so she had to shake her head gloomily.

Li Qingshi's little face was crying, and he began to worry about the fate of his buttocks, but as soon as he saw Lin Dui's strange look on his left and right, he came to his senses again, and took the initiative to introduce the flowers in the flower room to Lin Dui, constantly boasting about his great cultivation results, in fact, most of these flowers were planted by Li Qingxue, and they had nothing to do with him. Lin Du was ignorant and didn't know at all, and listened to it with relish and admiration. During the whole process, the girl just held the flower pot on the side, carefully studying the dying star rose.

Lin Duan also knows some knowledge of flowers and plants, and it is inevitable to learn the cultivation of flowers and plants, and he has detailed this aspect in several flower essence books he is familiar with, but before he has time to practice, he was caught by Li Haichao and entered the Glass Valley. He saw that Li Qingxue was still holding the half-withered flower and frowned, so he also paid attention to the pot of flowers, tilted his head to observe the color and shape of the flowers and leaves, and suddenly blurted out, "Does it have blight?"

There are dozens of common diseases of flowers and plants, and he has read about them all. He can almost memorize a few flower essence books, and after thinking about it a little, he has an opinion in his heart.

Qingxue Qingshi sisters and brothers were stunned, they didn't expect Lin Du to also know how to raise flowers. Li Qingshi didn't know what blight was, but seeing his sister's surprised expression when she raised her head, she also knew that Lin Du was talking about it. I was still bragging to others just now, but I didn't know that they were the masters of raising flowers. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but fortunately he was thick-skinned enough, and thought that since Lin Du could tell the reason for the flower's death, he might be able to revive the flower, and the fate of his ass would also take a turn, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a way?"

Lin Du just said casually, he didn't expect the sister and brother to have such a big reaction. Not to mention that he is just a guy on paper, even if he is an experienced flower farmer, he is not completely sure that he can save the blighted flower, so under the bright eyes of the sister and brother, he retreated and hurriedly shook his head.

Li Qingshi sighed in disappointment. He should have expected that even his sister would not be able to do anything, and this foreign wild child would not have any ideas. Li Qingxue's gaze remained on Lin Du for a moment longer. You can see the condition of the flower at a glance, which shows that Lin Du knows the way to raise flowers. Although this kind girl has always felt that Lin Du is a little different, growing flowers and plants is what she cares about the most.

The three children did not continue to hovering in the narrow flower room, the sister and brother took Lin Du to the third floor, the three bedrooms upstairs were lined up, Qingxue Qingshi had occupied the two rooms on the left and right, and the middle one was assigned to Lin Dui. There is a desk in the room, a single bed made of bamboo boards, simple and tidy, the three of them cleaned it together, Li Qingshi took the initiative to choose two pieces of his own clothes for Lin Dui, he is a head taller than Lin Dui, and his clothes are slightly bigger, but he can barely wear them.

The next thing is to take a bath and sleep. By the time everything was packed, it was already approaching the hour. Most of the families in the village were asleep, and if the siblings hadn't gone out to pick flowers at night, they would have gone to bed at this time. Li Qingxue went downstairs to close the courtyard door, and moved a few pots of low-temperature resistant flowers in the yard into the house, and went back to her room. Li Qingshi was a little excited about Lin Dui's new playmate, and he babbled in his room for a while, but finally couldn't hold it anymore, and dozed off and said goodnight to Lin Dui.

The surroundings soon fell silent, and he lay on the bed with the lights out, but Lin Du couldn't sleep. After such a long time in the wilderness, he was used to going out at night, and he had just slept during the day, and he was not tired at all. Now he has also become very sensitive, although he trusts Li Qingxue, but he still feels that he can't completely relax when he enters the unfamiliar environment at first glance.

He got up from the bed and went to the window to open the curtains, and a turquoise moonlight shone in through the window, right on the head of the bed. Standing in the moonlight, he felt the Ceres power around him suddenly speed up. He had long suspected that the green moon was actually Gu Xing, at least in this space, its brilliance had a similar effect to Gu Xing. So he sat down cross-legged at the head of the bed and began to meditate for the first time in a long time.

Lin Du was different from others, the Ceres Star Power was much worse than the real Gu Star Power, and the effect of automatic cultivation was far less than that of meditation. If there is enough starlight and no one disturbs him, he is still willing to continue the primitive practice of meditation. The star energy brought by the green moonlight is much richer than that of the valley stars outside, so the meditation effect is much better, and one hour here is enough to compare to two hours outside. It was an unexpected surprise. If he wasn't in a hurry to go out and see his mother, he would even have the urge to stay here for a long time to practice.

Five hours later, it was almost early in the morning, and the moonlight had thinned considerably. Lin Du finished his practice and lay down on the bed, wanting to take a nap before dawn, but somehow he was still very energetic, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. He simply got up, put on his clothes, shoes and socks, gently pushed open the door and walked out, and crept downstairs in the dark. He wanted to take advantage of the dawn to go to the Suoyuan Flower Forest and talk to the flower seedling "Mung Bean", but when he thought of "Mung Bean", he couldn't help but think of the pot of seriously ill and dead flowers in the flower room.

Although the flowers can't speak or move, in Lin Dui's heart, they are the same as "mung beans", they are all sentient and emotional beings. He felt the taste of death, and when he thought that the flower was about to die, it might have the same fear and the same mood as himself, so he couldn't help but turn to the flower room.

In the moonlight, the pot of star roses was lonely on the windowsill, and only a few leaves were still green. It is quietly waiting to die. This blight destroys the vitality of the entire plant. Lin Du thought that his Ceres star power was an energy that plants liked, and it seemed to have the effect of stimulating the vitality of plants, so he walked to the window, stood on tiptoe and took down the pot of flowers, touched the flowers and leaves with the tips of his right fingers, and began to try to input star power.

He didn't know if it worked, he just wanted to save a little life of a flower. The tips of his middle finger lit up with a light green glow, and the star power slowly but continuously flowed into Xingluohua's body. He stood in the darkness where the moonlight could not shine, and the faint light of his fingertips was so conspicuous that it looked like a cluster of phosphorus fire lit up in the darkness outside the window.

At this moment, a middle-aged man outside the bamboo building gently pushed the bamboo door into the courtyard, looked up and saw the phosphorescent glow in the house, couldn't help but stop, and muttered to himself: "What time is it, Xiaoxue and the stone get up?" No, this light is not like a candle or a lantern, is it a thief? This is also not right, the valley is full of thieves from their own family? No matter, go in first and take a look." ”
