Chapter 347: A Prophetic Omen
Xu Mo shook his head, he wasn't sure when these flowers would bloom, and when he contacted the old peach tree, he couldn't even sense the existence of these flowers.
These flowers may be solitary, or they may be dead, or they may not bloom at all.
said to Zhou Yu's second daughter: "Okay, it's going to be dark, help my uncle clean up, you two, do you dare to touch the earthworm?"
"Ah, Uncle Xu, do you still want to touch the earthworm?" Zhou Yanyan said with some startle. Yu Qiuwen looked down at the earthworm on the ground, and her heart was a little hairy.
"If you don't dare, forget it. Xu Mo was not reluctant, put on gloves, and beckoned the four monkeys to catch earthworms with him. It happened that Han Ying came back from the pharmacy and also came over to help.
Collect the earthworms, gather them in one place, and cover them with a cover so that they don't get picked up by the birds again. But the four monkeys took advantage of the help and secretly ate a few. Xu Mo saw it and didn't pay much attention to it.
The ground was still wet, and the earthworms would not burrow into the ground. Collect them all and cover them with a cover, Xu Mofang is relieved. It wasn't until the next day that the earthworms burrowed into the soil.
The next day was sunny, so there was no need to worry about earthworms coming out of the ground. The crows and eagles that were driven away yesterday were thinking about the earthworms, and flew around outside Xu Mo's yard, and were driven away by woodpeckers a few times, and still flew over quietly. It wasn't until I found out that I really couldn't see the earthworm that I flew away in disappointment.
In the days that followed, there wasn't much going on, and Xu Mo's life routine remained the same, taking care of the old peach tree during the day and cultivating in the picture at night.
Soon more than a month passed, and it was October. The leaves of the old peach tree are withered and yellowed. Some of the branches also lost their vitality and fell. Xu Mo communicated with the old peach tree, cut off some branches that lacked vitality, and sealed the fracture with soil.
These branches are not vigorous enough to grow on old peach trees, and the harm far outweighs the benefits, so it is a good thing to cut them off in advance.
The buds never opened, and one day, they suddenly fell. Xu Mo picked it up and looked at it. These buds are empty even in their hearts. It's been withering for I don't know how long. The nutrients absorbed by the old peach tree from the ground are not separated at all for these buds.
Xu Mo casually threw the bud on the ground and looked at the old peach tree. The leaves of the old peach tree have completely fallen and the branches have been pruned. Now the old peach tree. Only the trunk remains. as well as limited side branches. It looks like it's scattered.
But when Xu Mo sensed the vitality of the old peach tree, he found that its vitality was surprisingly vigorous. The loss of branches apparently did not affect the vitality of the old peach trees, but rather because of their concentration. It seems to be more exuberant.
Some birds flew over and tried to build a nest in the old peach tree, but they were chased away by the woodpeckers. The woodpecker itself wanted to build a nest in the old peach tree, but was also stopped by Xu Mo.
After that, there were fewer and fewer things, and in the blink of an eye it was winter. There were fewer things to do in winter, so much so that Xu Mo spent almost all day hiding in the pictures to cultivate.
Winter went to spring, and another few months passed.
In reality, months are in pictures, but in pictures are years. After several years of cultivation, Xu Mo's sixth sense has been further enhanced, and he has gradually been able to communicate with inanimate objects.
Thinking and consciousness can extend to extremely distant places, and connections between everything and everything have begun to appear, and the whole mind has become clearer and clearer.
It is faintly able to sense the behavioral trend of everything and predict its next move based on this behavioral trend. His mind became clearer and clearer, and a feeling that everything was under control gradually grew, but unfortunately the outermost layer of fog covered his vision, so that he could not see clearly.
Xu Mo could clearly guess what it was, it was the result of the possible occurrence of the sixth sense after it was developed to the extreme, through communication with everything and everything, according to the behavior trend of everything and everything. That is the power of a prophet.
The power of a prophet is not something that can be known in a vacuum, and any kind of knowledge must be judged according to external conditions. These external conditions include a variety of influencing factors, a book, a door, a stone, a drop of oil, a car, all of which can have an impact.
Any increase or decrease in the impact will inevitably lead to a change in the final outcome. The prophet, on the other hand, must sense the behavioral tendencies of each thing and connect them together in order to predict the final outcome.
For example, if an otaku stays at home on a Saturday, what does he eat at noon? If a prophet wants to guess this outcome, he has to consider various factors.
Does the person have food at home? This is the effect of other objects on the person's choice. If not, will he order takeout, what is his taste? Is this person lazy? This is his own behavioral tendency, and his personal behavioral tendencies determine his choice. What he ate in the morning or yesterday affects his choices today?
When it's time to eat at noon, will a friend come? When a friend comes, will they go out to eat together? What are the tastes of a friend? This is the behavior trend of other people, and it will also affect the outcome.
If you go out to eat, where will you go? There are Sichuan restaurants and Lu restaurants nearby, what are the tastes of the two people, and which restaurant will they choose? This is a comprehensive behavioral trend, and once again another choice is decided.
If you go to a hotel, there are not many people in the hotel, which hotel has more people and which restaurant has fewer people? What are the personalities of the two people? If someone is in a hurry, will they enter the store with fewer people? Will they bring more or less money, and what grade of hotel will they choose?
The behavioral tendencies of all parties add up to determine the final choice.
The two men were walking on the road when they suddenly got a flyer about a big reward from a certain hotel. Speculating on the final result, there is another factor in the influence, that is, the content on the flyer. What are the dishes on the flyer, and are there any of these two people's favorite dishes? If every dish is their favorite food, or most of their favorite dishes, you can find it on the flyer. Obviously, if there were no other influences, these two people would probably choose this hotel.
If the flyer is a specialty restaurant, Korean, Japanese or Thai, and neither of them has the idea of hunting for curiosity, the result is another option.
In a word. The prophet himself had to communicate the behavioral tendencies of all things, and all the behavioral tendencies were superimposed in order to determine the final outcome. Without the behavioral tendencies of any kind of thing, it is impossible to make true judgments.
Xu Mo is able to communicate the behavioral tendencies of inanimate objects.
If there is food at the house, the otaku himself is lazy by nature, and he will not have friends at noon, he is crazy playing games, and he doesn't want to go out, plus he has no intention of ordering takeout, at noon. Most likely, they did it themselves at home.
If he has quick food at home. It's very likely that just make up for it.
When I went out with my friends, I received a flyer, and the content of the flyer, which was the text attached to an inanimate object. It has nothing to do with the piece of paper that carries the words.
Xu Mo's sixth sense. For the time being, it is not possible to communicate what inanimate objects are carrying. For example, the content of a book. Thus the power of the prophet seems to be clouded by a fog and cannot be judged.
Winter passes, spring comes.
this day. Zhou Yanyan came over and called him, "Uncle Xu, the peach tree has grown buds." ”
"Really?" Xu Mo went out to see.
This morning, Zhou Yu's second daughter got up early rarely. Xu Mo walked out of the door, Han Ying also got up, and stood by the peach tree with Yu Qiuwen.
On the branches of the old peach tree, there are some small pink buds and some light green buds.
Han Ying turned around, saw Xu Mo, and said with a smile: "Our peach trees are returning to green earlier, and they bloom earlier than others." "The peach blossoms are going to bloom in March and April, and now it's only February, so it's no wonder that Han Ying thinks it's a little early.
Yu Qiuwen also said: "Uncle Xu, it's so fragrant, you come and smell it." ”
Xu Mo didn't have to get close to the past, and he could already smell the fragrance of peach blossoms. The old peach tree has just grown buds, and it is already fragrant.
"Uncle Xu, let's go, let's go over and see. Zhou Yanyan urged, took Xu Mo's hand, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the old peach tree.
Four monkeys and a safe woodpecker and a king cobra also gathered. The most active was the nest of wasps, all of which flew out of the nest and flew around the old peach tree.
When Xu Mo got closer, he felt more and more compelling in the aroma, and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant!"
Zhou Yanyan smiled and said: "It hasn't bloomed yet, it's already so fragrant, if it blooms, what should it do." ”
In the distance, there was the sound of birds, and several sparrows flew over, flying in the air, and looked into the yard.
"Ah! The sparrows are all attracted to it. Yu Qiuwen said with a smile.
Zhou Yanyan said as a matter of course: "I must be attracted here, if the peach blossoms are not good, why are the Woody family here?"
Woody is the name of a woodpecker, and Zhou Yanyan gave it the name based on one of his favorite cartoons. But a dozen woodpeckers all looked the same, and they all called Woody.
The sparrows landed on the wall, and looked at the old peach tree with a ghostly look, as if they wanted to come in, afraid of the might of a dozen woodpeckers, but they did not dare, and walked up and down the wall.
A sparrow couldn't help it, flapped its wings a few times, and wanted to fly into the yard. A woodpecker barked at it, and the sparrow immediately retracted.
Han Ying and Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh.
This morning passed like this, after breakfast, Xu Mo drove Zhou Yu's second daughter to school, and Han Ying went to the pharmacy by herself.
After sending Zhou Yu's second daughter back to school, Xu Mo went to the pharmacy.
"Brother Xu. As soon as Wang Ting saw Xu Mo, she stopped him.
"Sister Wang, what's the matter?" This situation is really rare, and Xu Mo was also a little surprised.
"That's the ......" Wang Ting was a little hesitant, unsure whether to say it for a while.
Han Ying saw it on the side, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the child." ”
Xu Mo glanced at Han Ying, obviously Han Ying already knew, and he was even more puzzled.
Wang Ting listened to Han Ying's words, and then she put her mind at ease, "Brother Xu, it's about Yan Yan." ”
Xu Mo was surprised again, "What's wrong with Yan Yan?"
"This ...... How do you say that?" Wang Ting wanted to say but stopped.
Han Ying said with a smile: "Let me tell you, it's like this, Yan Yan's recent academic performance has dropped a little compared to before, Sister Wang thinks it's probably because you usually spoil her too much and give her everything." Children can't live too luxuriously, and if they live too luxuriously, they are easily distracted and have less to spend on studying. ”
"Oh! Xu Mo had a sudden look on his face, he had been focusing on cultivation recently. But I rarely pay attention to the things around me. Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yanyan seems to have really changed a little, and she has put more thought into dressing up than before.
"The kids have grown up. Xu Mo said disapprehantly, and when he saw Wang Ting's expression, he changed his words again: "I will talk about her." ”
Wang Ting nodded and said, "Brother Xu, only you can talk about her, this kid only listens to you, don't forget it." ”
"Okay. Xu Mo agreed casually, but he didn't pay much attention to it, not long after. I forgot about it.
He went out of the pharmacy. I went out to visit a few friends and didn't go back until very late.
The next day, life returned to normal, and after sending Zhou Yu's second daughter to school, he returned home. Go see the old peach tree.
I communicated with the old peach tree first. Sprinkled some water and fertilizer. After painting the tree again, Xu Mo went to check the condition of the old peach tree. The animals in the house are stubbornly guarding the old peach tree and refuse to leave, and occasionally birds come closer. will also be quickly driven away.
The animals were not allowed to climb the old peach tree, a dozen woodpeckers made their nests on the nearby wall, and the monkeys lived under the trees.
Then I saw four monkeys and Ping'an gathered around. Xu Mo walked over and saw an ant nest on the ground, and the monkeys were peacefully surrounding the ant nest.
The ant nest is a nest of black ants, and from time to time ants emerge from the nest. Fun took a small branch in his hand, and every time an ant came out, he jumped up with the small branch and ate it separately.
When Xu Mo walked over, it was Ping'an's turn, Ququ picked up the black ant and sent it to Ping'an, Ping'an opened his big mouth and stretched out his tongue, Ququ stretched out his hairy claws, and pulled on the small branch, and the ant landed on Ping'an's tongue, Ping'an's tongue retracted, closed his eyes and tasted it, as if he was eating an excellent delicacy.
Xu Mo didn't bother them, and stood and watched for a while. The second ant came out, and Qu Qu still picked it up with a branch and put it into his mouth, followed by Yuanyuan, Lele, and Little Gollum, and finally it was a turn, and then it was Ping'an's turn.
Four monkeys and a dog shared ants and ate with relish.
The woodpeckers apparently spotted it as well, and at the same time flew down from the fence and landed on the heads of the four monkeys and Ping'an. At this moment, Fun picked up another one and was about to put it in his mouth, when the woodpecker on the door of its head suddenly stretched out its beak and tapped it lightly on its skull.
Fun looked up and saw that the woodpecker had taken a few steps forward, and a monkey and a bird had looked at each other.
The woodpecker craned its neck and made a gesture to peck, but Fun had to lift up the small branch, and the woodpecker pecked the ant in one bite.
After eating, I couldn't help but scream, and the cry implied joy. This ant is clearly a delicacy to a woodpecker.
After the call, the woodpecker pecked at the door of Fun's head again, as if blaming it for finding something good, but not informing itself.
As a result, more than a dozen woodpeckers joined in and shared the ants with the monkeys.
Xu Mo looked at it for a while, his heart moved, and he happened to see another ant coming out, Ququ picked up the branch, and was about to poke the ant, and hurriedly stopped, "Ququ, wait." ”
Ququ heard Xu Mo's shouting and had to stop.
After the ant came out of the nest, it crawled into the distance, followed by several more ants. Ququ wanted to light up and eat the ants several times, but Xu Mo stopped him.
The ants were crawling everywhere, and Xu Mo watched in the direction they crawled, and one ant soon found food, bit and dragged it back.
Xu Mo picked up the ant with a stick, picked up the food he found and looked at it carefully, and soon realized that it was just a fragment of a leaf.
The area where the old peach trees are located is special and is never cleaned. In winter, after the branches and leaves of the old peach tree fall, they gradually dry up, and if they are accidentally stepped on, they become fragments and melt into the soil.
When the ant nest appeared, the ants plucked out the broken leaves from the soil and used them as food.
These branches and leaves, although they were eliminated by the old peach tree, were also substances that Xu Mo had cultivated for a period of time in a state of perfect balance.
Even if it falls, it's a good thing. The monkey Ping'an woodpecker is not taken seriously, but it is discovered by this new group of ants and used as food.
After the ants ate these fragments, they turned into a delicacy for the monkeys to peace.
Xu Mo looked at it, and then threw the piece of debris away. Soon after, another ant came and dragged the debris away.
Xu Mo no longer interfered, and Ququ caught the ants again and ate them.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was March again, and the flower buds had grown a little, but the peach blossoms had not yet bloomed. The green shoots on the peach branches gradually emerged, and they were small peach leaves.
But although the peach blossoms are not blooming, the aroma is getting stronger day by day. The rich aroma attracts countless animals, and the monkeys and peace become more and more important things, and it takes a lot of time every day to drive these attracted animals out.
The animals apparently recognized the strong fragrance of the peach blossoms as a good thing, and although they were driven away, they refused to leave. They can't beat them and are patrolling the neighborhood.
There were more and more animals staying nearby, and some tourists even came up from the mountain following the aroma to ask Xu Mo's family what was going on, and finally sent it away.
The old peach tree has attracted countless things, which has brought a lot of trouble to Xu Mo, and he can't cover the old peach tree, otherwise, it will definitely affect the old peach tree to accept the sun.
In desperation, I had to buy the top of the mountain, and a fence was built at the foot of the mountain to prevent tourists from coming up.
The old peach tree continues to grow, and the cracked outer bark falls off, revealing a new layer of inner bark. The surface of the new skin is smooth and densely grained, and it does not look like an old tree at all.
The leaves are getting bigger, the buds continue to grow, and the aroma is more intense. (To be continued......)
