Chapter 344: The Old Tree Blossoms
Xu Mo then asked, "When are you going to buy life?"
The middle-aged man said: "The medicine has not been prepared yet, at least until the medicine is prepared." Of course, I'm just a small person and don't have any right to decide, these words are all guesses. ”
Xu Mo asked again, "Where do you plan to buy life?"
The middle-aged man said: "Somewhere, not necessarily. But as far as I can guess, most of them are in these nearby cities. ”
Xu Mo asked again: "Where is the headquarters of your company?"
"This ......," the middle-aged man was stunned, and then said, "I don't know what to do?"
"Hmm!" Xu Mo stared at him, his gaze sharp.
The middle-aged man looked at him, and immediately shuddered, and hurriedly added: "I really don't know the way, we are directly under the management of the branch." ”
Xu Mo asked again, "Where is your branch?"
The middle-aged man said without hesitation: "In Haishi." ”
"Where's the sea market?" Xu Mo asked again.
The middle-aged man said an address, and after Xu Mo heard it, he fell silent.
"Xu, what's going on?, what are your plans?" asked Sun Yuyan.
Xu Mo said: "Let's go, get out of here." ”
"Hey, what are we going to do when you're gone?" the middle-aged man asked, raising his voice.
Xu Mo didn't look at him, called the three medicine pickers out of the house, drove an off-road vehicle, and drove out of the valley.
A mercenary couldn't help but chase after him and asked, "You're gone, what about us?"
Xu Mo said: "Your own affairs, solve them yourself." He waved his hand. Sun Yuyan started the car, did not stop, and kept driving out of the valley.
After leaving a certain distance, Sun Yuyan couldn't help but ask: "Xu, did you let them go like this?" These mercenaries, you want to let them go, I can understand." But what if those four leaf pickers go back and leak our business? It's really scary. ”
"No, it won't. They can't go back. Xu Mo said confidently.
"Why do you want to say that?" Sun Yuyan said strangely.
"Listen. Xu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Nei.
Sun Yuyan listened attentively, and a moment later, a gunshot came from the valley.
Xu Mo explained: "If these mercenaries want to flee, they will definitely kill them. So. I'll take these four leaf pickers. Left to this group of mercenaries. Words of unbelief. Just wait here, these mercenaries will soon be driving out. ”
In fact, there is no need to wait, those mercenaries drive very fast. Xu Mo's car had just arrived at the mouth of the valley when they were chased by the mercenaries who fled in a car behind.
These mercenaries were also worried that Xu Mo would regret it, and after chasing Xu Mo and them, they didn't dare to follow too close, and they were far away. Xu Mo glanced back, smiled silently, Sun Yuyan and the medicine picker and the others were also relieved, and they looked very relieved.
Back on the mountain road, Xu Mo and Sun Yuyan got off the off-road vehicle, returned to Sun Yuyan's car, left the off-road vehicle to the three of them, and returned to Wanshi.
Wang Ling and the three didn't dare to stay in this place, and they also returned to Wanshi with Xu Mo and them.
By the time Xu Mo returned to Wan City, it was already evening. When he returned, the first thing he went to check was the cash cow and the golden bread tree. There was no movement in the golden bread tree, but the cash cow had grown a little more in the past few days under Han Ying's care.
The next day, he went up the hill to see the old peach tree. The insects under the bark of the old peach tree have been caught, but they have regained some vitality. It's just that when I caught the insects, the damage was too great, and the leaves were still drooping, and they still looked half-dead.
Before Xu Mo left, he had watered it with some water, and the old peach tree absorbed the water, and he didn't see much change.
Xu Mo sensed the instinctive consciousness of the old peach tree again, and got a feeling from the old peach tree. There are some rocks and hollows in the soil under the tree, which block the root system and affect the rooting, water absorption and nutrient absorption of the old peach tree.
I don't know when the rocks were buried under the trees, and the holes were dug out by digging treasures. Judging by the instinctive needs of the old peach tree, it is better to dig out these messy stones and fill the soil in the hollow. Only in this way can the old peach tree grow better.
Xu Mo really wanted to see what could happen to the old peach tree if he changed the living conditions of the old peach tree according to the instinctive needs of the old peach tree. Or, whether this old peach tree can evolve like an animal?
But he looked at the construction team that was working on it and dismissed the idea. The project of digging stones and filling holes is too big, and he is not at ease to let others do it, because whether it is a stone or a hollow, it is under the root system of the old peach tree, and if he cannot communicate the instinctive consciousness of the tree, he will accidentally destroy the root system and cause damage to the old peach tree, so the gain will outweigh the loss.
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until the construction was completed to deal with these things. But the construction will take at least a little more than a month to complete.
Xu Mo returned home and had nothing to do, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the painting cultivation every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was more than a month, and the time in the picture was more than a year. In the past year or so, Xu Mo's sixth sense of spiritual consciousness has grown again.
At this time, the construction was completed, and it also happened to be the summer vacation. Xu Mo went to see the cash cow and the golden bread tree again. The young shoots of the golden bread tree still did not come out of the soil, Xu Mo communicated with Ying Ning and made sure that everything was fine, so he was relieved.
The golden bread tree grew in Han Ying's mother's dream for 10,000 years. In reality, although there is a baby Ning entering the seed, causing the seed to mutate, it may not take as many as 10,000 years, but it is by no means able to grow in a short period of time.
But the cash cow grew a little longer, and the two leaves grew bigger. Although it is still far from maturity, it is almost half the size of the mature leaves that Xu Mo has seen in Guo Qinglian's dream.
The cash cow grew steadily, and Xu Mo also felt happy in his heart.
After seeing the cash cow, he prepared to go to the mountain, first, to see the newly built house, and secondly, to see the old peach tree, and by the way, to change the growth environment of the old peach tree. Dig out the rocks under the roots of the trees and fill in the holes.
Zhou Yu's second daughter is already on vacation, so she naturally wants to pester Xu Mo, and he has to follow wherever he goes.
For these two cute girls, Xu Mo has no disgust at all. When a person goes out to do things, he is always lonely, and with them to follow, talk and laugh, and also relieve boredom.
At that moment, he took a shovel and a few small shovels. Drove to the mountains. Got to the mountains. Let's start with the newly built houses. The house has just been built. Xu Mo has no intention of decorating for the time being.
Zhou Yanyan looked into the room, and after a while, he asked, "Uncle Xu, after a while." Are we going to move here?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment. He said, "At least wait until autumn or winter." Or next year. The newly built house is not well occupied immediately, and it has not been renovated yet. ”
Zhou Yanyan asked again: "Then where do Wenwen and I live? Is it a house for each person?"
Xu Mo smiled. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Do you see that house, where will you and Wenwen live in the future?" ”
"Ahh Yu Qiuwen said in surprise.
Zhou Yanyan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Xu, where do you live? Wenwen and I are going to live next to your house." ”
Xu Mo pointed to a house next to him, "Well, my uncle lives there, it's very close to you, right?"
Zhou Yu's second daughter looked at the house and found that it was next to her own house, so she was satisfied. Then he asked how to decorate his house, Xu Mo perfunctory, and let them make their own ideas.
After looking at the house, Xu Mo went to look at the old peach tree again, took out the shovel and shovel from the trunk of the car, and prepared to excavate.
"Uncle Xu, what are you doing?" Seeing the shovel in Xu Mo's hand, Zhou Yanyan asked curiously.
Xu Mo said: "Dig a hole." So saying, he put down the shovel, picked up the iron ball, and dug it under the old peach tree. At the same time, the spiritual consciousness of the sixth sense is released, communicating with the instinctive consciousness of the old peach tree, and sensing the location of the root system of the old peach tree, so as not to accidentally touch it when digging a hole.
"We're here to help you. Yu Qiuwen said and picked up a small shovel and was about to come up to help. Zhou Yanyan saw it, picked up another shovel, and followed.
"Put it down. Xu Mo hurriedly stopped, "You two don't need to help, uncle has skills in digging holes." You two don't know what to do, and if you dig up the roots, you'll be in trouble. Okay, Wenwen, Yan Yan, put the shovel down, uncle doesn't need your help, you two stand aside and watch it. ”
"Oh!" Zhou Yu and the second daughter listened to Xu Mo's cautiousness, looked at each other, and then reluctantly put down the shovel and stood aside to watch. The mouth was not idle, he whispered while watching, and asked Xu Mo from time to time.
But Yu Qiuwen said: "Listen to that Grandpa Fang, this old peach tree has been around since the Qing Dynasty, and it has been more than a hundred years now." ”
Zhou Yanyan said: "Yes, you look at its half-dead appearance, and I don't know if it can be saved? ”
Yu Qiuwen was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Zhou Yanyan wrenched his fingers, "You think, the old peach tree that has lived for more than a hundred years, the peaches that grow must be delicious." If we save it, won't we be able to eat a hundred years old peaches?"
Yu Qiuwen said: "What a hundred years old peach, Yan Yan, you are talking nonsense." Where can I eat peaches that are more than 100 years old? Are they peaches from peach trees that are more than 100 years old?"
Zhou Yanyan said: "Didn't I just simplify it, Wenwen, you are more serious." You say, can Uncle Xu save this old peach tree?"
"Absolutely. Yu Qiuwen didn't doubt Xu Mo's ability at all, glanced at Xu Mo, who was busy, and then guessed, "Uncle Xu must have dug the hole to save this old peach tree." ”
Zhou Yanyan tilted his head sideways, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Wenwen, you said, Uncle Xu turned Ping'an into a monster, will he turn this tree into a monster as well?"
Yu Qiuwen glanced at her with a smile and said angrily: "What are you doing so quietly? You are still afraid that Uncle Xu will beat you behind your back?"
These two little girls are not stupid people, what happened to Xu Mo is unexpected, although she never explains it to them, and she doesn't let them ask more. But when they see it in their eyes, they naturally inevitably think about it carefully, and occasionally talk about it. has his own guesses about everything, but he rarely says it in front of Xu Mo.
Zhou Yanyan's face turned red and lowered his voice. Said angrily: "Wenwen, you bad guy, why did you say it, what should I do if Uncle Xu hears it?"
"Hehe!" Yu Qiuwen grinned.
Zhou Yanyan said again: "Uncle Xu doesn't want us to know the Tao, there must be his thoughts, if you say it, Uncle Xu will be angry." ”
Xu Mo's ears were sensitive, and the whispers of the two little girls were all heard clearly, and he couldn't help but smile.
He had known these things for a long time. You can't hide it. These two little girls are a little smaller. But they all have their own ideas, and if they see a lot, they can guess some.
Zhou Yu's two daughters were side by side, sitting under the old peach tree and whispering. Xu Mo continued to dig the hole.
Digging this hole is more than just a physical job. It's still a technical job. He didn't even dare to let the rats do it. Even if wisdom is transmitted, a mouse is still a mouse, and its instincts are far greater than their reason. When digging into the roots, it's hard to make sure they don't gnaw at the roots.
Xu Mo started digging from a distance, with the instinctive consciousness guidance from the old peach tree, he clearly knew where the Dao stone was, so he didn't have to worry about wasting his efforts in vain and digging in the wrong direction.
But after a morning, Xu Mo didn't dig much hole. But a lot of broken stones were dug up and thrown out. In the meantime, he dug up some small tree roots, and Xu Mo carefully bypassed.
In the afternoon, the hole was continued to be dug out, and the hole was filled.
This job took more than a week to complete, and this was still under the condition that Xu Mo did not stop and was busy during the day.
The tree hole was filled, and the needs of the old peach trees changed again. Xu Mo poured some water on the old peach tree according to the instinctive consciousness from the old tree.
Water seeps into the soil, and the old peach trees need nutrients. According to its requirements, Xu Mo prepared a batch of fertilizer, melted it in water, and poured it under the tree.
Old peach trees absorb water and fertilizer and begin to grow. After a few days, the drooping leaves seemed to have some vitality, some of the leaves fell, and some of the leaves came alive.
Xu Mo felt strange and sensed it, only then did he realize that after the old peach tree was damaged, its ability to absorb nutrients was limited, and when there were too many leaves, these nutrients were not enough to supply at all, so some leaves that could not be divided into nutrients began to fall off.
But at this point, there are still a lot of leaves on the tree. Old peach trees absorb limited nutrients from the soil, and there is still not enough for these leaves. Xu Mo had no choice but to find a ladder and pluck some leaves from the old peach tree.
Picking off the leaves, the growth of the old peach tree finally stabilized. But there are not many leaves left on the tree.
Zhou Yanyan looked up for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Xu, with such a few leaves, can it still live?"
Before Xu Mo could answer, Yu Qiuwen took the words and said with certainty: "I can live." ”
Zhou Yanyan turned his head, glanced at her and said, "Oh, for what?"
Yu Qiuwen pondered: "This tree still looked half-dead a few days ago. Now Uncle Xu has picked the leaves, and although there are fewer leaves, he looks more energetic. Don't you see? The leaves are standing up. ”
"Oh!" Zhou Yanyan looked at the tree and saw that the leaf was indeed as Yu Qiuwen said, and it looked a lot more energetic. "Just ......"
She continued: "There are too few leaves left now, there are not many in total, and the old peach tree has lost so much, it has not changed much." ”
"Here's the change. Xu Mo took the words with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the tree hole, "The old tree should use more nutrients here, make up the tree hole, and after a while, this tree hole will be gone." ”
When Zhou Yu's second daughter heard this, she hurriedly probed over to look at the tree hole, which was so big that it looked black. Zhou Yanyan exclaimed, "Such a big tree hole can also grow?"
Xu Mo said: "When I prepare some nutrients, cut the inner skin of the tree hole, and apply the nutrients on it, it will be much easier." ”
Yu Qiuwen thought for a while, "Then we have to take a few photos and keep them first, and when it grows, we won't be able to see it." ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and went to take a photo, Zhou Yanyan also leaned over, and the two took a group photo in front of the tree hole.
Next, Xu Mo drove to buy fertilizer, bought the fertilizer back, and after it was prepared, he drilled into the tree hole, carefully scraped off the bark on the inner wall of the tree hole with a knife, and applied it with good nutrients.
The hollows of the old trees really began to grow, but every once in a while, they had to be coated with nourishment.
Even so, the growth of the tree hole is still very slow, and if it wants to grow completely, it will not be completed until at least this autumn.
Xu Mo watered with nutrients every day and took care of the old peach trees. Half a month later, buds actually grew on the old peach tree. The peach tree blooms in March and April, and now it is already August, and it is indeed rare for the buds to suddenly grow.
Zhou Yu's second daughter looked at the buds, rejoiced, and took pictures.
Zhou Yanyan said happily: "At this time, I don't know if the Dao will grow peaches." ”
"No, it's August. Even if the peaches grow, it will take several months to ripen, and by then, I am afraid that it will be winter. Growing peaches in winter is unlikely. Yu Qiuwen shook her head again and again as she spoke.
"It's a pity!" Zhou Yanyan also felt that it was unlikely, and then said regretfully: "It would be nice if peaches could grow in winter, in that case, we would have fresh peaches to eat." ”
Yu Qiuwen smiled slightly, looking up at the buds on the tree, "If you can really grow peaches, I don't know how happy they are." ”
Zhou Yanyan suddenly thought to himself, "Monkeys like to eat peaches the most, you say, what if you bring them over?"
Yu Qiuwen glanced at Xu Mo, "Fun they are too naughty, after they come, they will definitely mess around in the trees, Uncle Xu will definitely be angry when he sees it." ”
"Well, that's true. Zhou Yanyan nodded in agreement.
Xu Mo looked up at the buds that had just grown, and it was obviously impossible to bear fruit in winter. But what is the reason why the old peach tree suddenly blooms at this time? (To be continued......
