Although the wild vegetables are delicious, they are always tired of eating. Zhou Xiaobao was counting the time with his fingers. He felt that the sprouts would be picked in a few days. That was the wild vegetable he liked to eat. He had eaten too much shepherd's purse and hiccupped like that.
However, Qin Ruoxi obviously still enjoys it. She eats almost all the wild vegetables on her plate. Of course, she also likes pickled cabbage, saying that Liu Fengying's pickled cabbage is better than that sold in supermarkets.
After lunch, Zhou Jianguo continued to set up a stall. With a hoe and a rake, Zhou Xiaobao was going to clean a place in the orchard and experiment with growing vegetables.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ruoxi also came up with a small tool and shouted: "Dog residue, can I help you grow vegetables? If you don't pay, just give me some more peaches to eat."
As Qin Ruoxi said this, he had rolled up his sleeve and showed his tender lotus like arm, ready to help hoe the grass.
"Old sister, can you stop calling me by my nickname? Calling me Zhou Xiaobao, the name is so high-end, grand and classy, which is much better than dog leftovers." Zhou Xiaobao was dissatisfied, and the dog leftovers cried all day long, which was very awkward.
"I think it's all the same. Zhou Xiaobao is not as good as dog remains." After saying that, Qin Ruoxi smiled slyly. "Of course, if you give me peaches every day, I can consider calling you Zhou Xiaobao."
"..." Zhou Xiaobao was too lazy to pay attention to her. A peach cost 500 yuan. The girl wanted to eat herself poor.
This place is only ten meters away from the fenced yard. There are few fruit trees. Besides wild vegetables, there are more weeds on the ground.
Most of the workers cleaned up the weeds around the root of the fruit tree, and those farther away took too much effort, so they generally chose to ignore them.
Zhou Xiaobao had great power. He waved his hoe and soon cleared half an acre of clean land. This place is far from enough, but it is almost enough as an experimental field for seedling cultivation.
Qin Ruoxi used all 18 kinds of weapons once, but he didn't make anything at all. Instead, he was tired and sweated bitterly. He said, "Dog remnant, why are you so tired growing vegetables? When I play the game of stealing vegetables, I feel relaxed."
"The vegetable growing game has been turned into the vegetable stealing game by you, and you are really good." Zhou Xiaobao doesn't expect Qin Ruoxi to help him anymore, as long as he doesn't make any trouble for himself.
Put down the hoe, pick up the four tooth harrow, and start to turn the soil. Turning the soil is more tiring than weeding. You need to dig the solid ground. If you encounter large pieces of soil, you need to smash them, so that you can spread the rapeseed evenly.
At this time, the temperature in Lianhua Town has gradually risen, but the temperature at night is still too low, so it is necessary to cover the planted ground with a layer of plastic film.
Old Uncle Man took Er Niu and Tie Dan to pick wild vegetables halfway up the mountain, and sent vegetables to the fence yard. Then he sent out that Zhou Xiaobao and Qin Ruoxi were planting vegetables in this corner, so he came to help cover the area where the seeds had just been sown with a thin layer of soil.
"I will..." Qin Ruoxi really didn't want to be despised by Zhou Xiaobao, so he rushed to do some work, but no one took her seriously and asked her to help, which was not enough to add chaos.
Cover with thin soil? Hey, hey, do you want to step on the vegetable field into a playground? We are covering plastic film, not plastic film, so don't be so careful. If you do this, you can't finish the work of half an acre of land in the dark.
"Buzz! Buzz!" Tibetan Mastiff Mahua jumped out of the fence yard from time to time and barked a few times near the vegetable field, as if laughing at Qin Ruoxi's disorderly behavior.
The vivid expression of "disdain" almost angered Qin Ruoxi to death. If he was not afraid of the Tibetan mastiff biting people crazily, he would like to use a stick to beat him.
Store the mountain god jade liquid soaked in rapeseed in a secret corner. Zhou Xiaobao is ready to use magic at night to let the whole orchard area have a special light rain, and mix the diluted mountain god jade liquid into the rain evenly.
There are many tourists today. There are not enough wild vegetables to sell. All the peaches taken out are sold out.
If Zhou Xiaobao was not afraid of arousing public suspicion, he would certainly take out all the peaches stored in the space of God's realm for sale.
However, he didn't go up the tree to pick peaches in full view of the public. It was hard to explain the peaches that appeared out of nowhere.
At this time, the gray haired old man has crossed the dangerous ravine and stood at the main peak of Boar Ridge.
"The mountain is not high, there is a fairy spirit, the water is not deep, and there is a dragon singing!" The old man stood on the top of many peaks, then sighed and said, "Unfortunately, with my eyes, I can't see clearly. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world."
"Old Ji, the sun is going to set, should I go back?" The young driver standing a few meters away asked carefully, for fear of disturbing the old man's thoughts.
In the deep dense forest, there are already wolves roaring, and they seem very hungry. They can't wait to jump out to prey before it gets dark.
The old man seemed unconscious of the wolf howling, smiled and looked at the sky, and said, "Well, let's go back to the town for a night. I have many questions here and need to find answers slowly."
"That wild vegetable......?" The young driver still remembered this incident.
The old man smiled and said, "Ha ha, you can take me home tonight and bring some peaches for them to taste. I will stay here for a few days. By the way, if someone asks about my whereabouts, what should you say?"
"I understand." The young driver was like a soldier, concise and comprehensive.
The old man decided something and seemed relaxed, laughing and turning down the mountain. The young driver could not catch up with the old man even though he was not walking fast. This contrast is very strange.
When Zhou Xiaobao had just finished helping his father close the stall, Shennian noticed the abnormal movements of the old man in the mountain and was slightly surprised. Moreover, some evil wolves who shuttle in the forest seem a little afraid to attack when they see the old man.
Although Zhou Xiaobao became a mountain god, he still knew nothing about the world, even did not know whether those myths and legends were true or not, let alone whether there were other mountain gods outside.
"The old man is really strange. Can he use magic like me? Otherwise, how could he walk so fast?" Zhou Xiaobao was puzzled, and secretly observed the old man while working.
The old man seemed to be aware and looked up at the sky doubtfully. He saw nothing except the brilliant clouds and the occasional flying birds.
"This place is really strange. The mountain peak has just had a spirit, but it has not been separated. There is really a mountain god in the world? But I have been practicing for so many years and have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. I have not met gods, gods and strange things except for a few skilled hermits who have been practicing hard."
The old man muttered in his heart, quickened his pace, and wanted to return to the village as soon as possible.
A huge pheasant necked snake, with a red crown, rushed out of the path in the forest, and the wind blew everywhere it passed.
The old man froze, hurried to the side of the mountain road to dodge, conveniently broke a branch, and shouted: "Xiao Li, move closer to the right, turn your head and don't look at it, don't do any drastic action. The old snake is a creature whose intelligence is like a demon, don't easily get angry with it."
The driver, Xiao Li, shivered with fright. This was the first time he saw such a strange snake standing in the grass with a tall, strange head, which was impressive.
The snake glanced at the branch in the old man's hand bleakly, spit out the scarlet letter, and swaggered away with a strange wind.
This was Zhou Xiaobao's mountain patrol, who had accidentally been granted the title. Although he felt that the old man named Ji was not easy to offend, he took advantage of the power of the mountain god, disdained him, and left proudly.
"Ji Lao, what is this snake?" After the strange snake left for a long time, the driver, Xiao Li, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and asked in a trill.
"The cockscomb snake is also called pheasant neck snake. I once saw one in the depths of the Little Khingan Mountains, but its size and momentum are not as good as one tenth of this one. Let's go, leave quickly. Maybe I shouldn't ask Da to enter the mountain today."
After the old man said that, he just hurried on and didn't want to explain too much to the driver.
"Encountered such a horrible guy, didn't we worship the mountain god before we entered the mountain?" The driver asked nervously again.
"Alas, in fact, we have worshipped the mountain god. If we don't worship the mountain god, you think that the snake will leave easily? Last time, my old friend and I spent a lot of time in the Little Khingan Mountains to get rid of the cockscomb snake. The snake is too vindictive and aggressive. A casual look from you will irritate it."
"Ah? We obviously didn't offer incense, burn paper or kowtow. When did we worship?"
The old man surnamed Ji didn't want to explain this problem. He just felt that it was necessary to buy more peaches.
Zhou Xiaobao moved the table to the yard and was about to serve vegetables when he saw the old man with the driver appeared at the gate of the fenced yard.
"Young man, are you ready for dinner? Are we back late?" The old man smiled and said hello, standing at the gate of the hospital. Without the owner's consent, he seemed afraid to push the door to enter easily.
Zhou Xiaobao immediately laughed and said, "Oh, my lord, you are back at last. We were talking about you just now. Someone said that you were taken away by a wolf, and he would bet me three glasses of sorghum wine."
"Who bet you three cups of wine? What I said was three sips?" Qin Ruoxi volunteered to defend.
"Don't beat yourself up."
"I dare to admit it."
Old Uncle Man, Tie Dan, Er Niu and Zhou Jianguo were busy setting up their dishes in the yard. Hearing their conversation, they burst into laughter.
After laughing, Zhou Jianguo invited him to eat first, "Big Brother, it's dark and it's inconvenient to go back to the city. Let's stay in the town tonight. We don't have any extra kang in our house. If we have, we won't drive our guests out."
"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Ho ho, but I can't move my legs when I smell pure sorghum wine. Then I will break my old face and eat some food with me?" The old man said, pushing open the gate and went in. But that look has been secretly observing the Tibetan mastiff lying under the peach tree.
The driver, Xiao Li, was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Ji Lao behaved so strangely today. He decided to do something good and changed his mind again and again. However, he had no right to interrupt and protest, so he hurried in.
Zhou Xiaobao frowned, feeling that the old man seemed to find the common ground between the Tibetan mastiff and the cockscomb snake. The old man was too strange. It seemed that he had to get drunk before talking to him.
