Chapter 315 The Lychee Tree

After a while of silence, Xing Rushui finally spoke: "I'm leaving for a while."

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes after hearing this, and frowned accordingly.

Xing Rushui, who was carefully observing the emotional changes on Zhang Taiping's face, saw that Zhang Taiping frowned, a faint sweetness appeared in his heart, and asked with a smile on his mouth, "Are you worried about me?"

Zhang Taiping said angrily: "It's not always such a good luck to be rescued by someone."

Xing Rushui smiled even brighter, but what is unbearable is that this kind of bright smile naturally carries a natural charm. According to the martial arts novels, this kind of woman belongs to inner charm, and you can't usually see her charm side, but its burst of charm makes people more difficult to refuse.

"Last time it was just an accident, and I was injured when I met an old monster. That kind of old monster is not something you can meet at any time, and it is also the result of not being prepared. If you are prepared, no one can hurt me so easily except you. As he said that, he naturally exuded an aura as deep as a mountain, which was different from the fierceness at the market this morning, but it was even stronger.

Zhang Taiping stretched his brows slightly and said: "Anyway, just be careful yourself." After hesitating for a while, he said, "If you encounter any enemies that you can't deal with, you can call me." In fact, judging from the situation we met last time What Xing Rushui did must be dangerous, and I didn't want to participate in it, so I didn't ask anything about her after I finished the last time.But now I can't help but say such words.

The brightness on Xing Rushui's face was a bit dazzling at this moment, he lightly stroked Zhang Taiping's chest with his fingers and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, this time it's just dealing with some small things."

If someone who knows her knows that a calm and powerful woman like a goddess still pleases a man in this way, I don't know if she will be shocked.

Zhang Taiping ignored her mischievous hands and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Leave tomorrow morning."

Zhang Taiping nodded and did not speak.

The two of them sat until someone came in from the yard and walked like water before getting up and entering the house.

The person who came was Mr. Li Zhousheng from the diagonally opposite door. He walked up to Zhang Taiping and handed him a round object, saying, "The lychees in the backyard of the opposite house are ripe. I picked one just now to see if it is ready to eat."

Zhang Taiping slapped his head. He hadn't been to the opposite room for a while, so he forgot about the huge lychee tree inside, and said to Mr. Li Zhousheng: "If it wasn't for Uncle Li's request, I'll take care of it." Forget about it, go and have a look in a while."

Mr. Li nodded and said, "Well, go over and have a look. If they are ripe, pick them. If they fall on the ground, they will lose their taste." After speaking, he walked towards the back room and looked for The old man has gone.

Zhang Taiping got up and walked towards the opposite room, the weeds in the backyard had already been cleaned up by Cai Yazhi, there were two rose plants by the wall, they were quite lush but hadn't bloomed.There is also a large flower pot, with only soil left in it, and the plant has long since died.

The only thing that is surprising is this lychee tree, a huge lychee tree that is not round when hugged by one person. It is like a cover, half of which covers half of the yard, and half of it stretches out of the wall, which happens to be the backyard of Mr. Li next door.

This lychee tree has not produced lychees for many years. Last year, Zhang Taiping watered it with some spring water, and it only produced lychees this year.It must be the first year, and there are not many fruits, only a few branches are full of lychees.

Zhang Taiping poked a few of them with a bamboo pole.Litchi is a delicate fruit, the outer skin is rough and dark red, but after peeling it off, it is a different scene, the flesh is as delicate as fat and white as jade, exuding a rich fragrance.The vibrating pulp and the wafting fragrance all make the tongue fur swell.

Put it in your mouth, spit out the core and savor it carefully. It is indeed a sacred fruit. No wonder someone once said in a poem, "Eat three hundred lychees a day, and never give up as a Lingnan native", which is enough to reflect the poet's love for resignation.

This poem even more illustrates the place where lychees grow, the natural moat Qinling divides China's climate into two distinct regions, north and south.The south of the Lingnan is warm and humid, while the north of the Lingnan is dry and cold. Litchi grows in the south of the Lingnan, but it is difficult to grow in the north of the Qinling Mountains. This litchi tree in the backyard is proof.

Litchi also has a powerful beauty effect.There is a poem that reads, "A concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, and no one knows that it is a lychee." The concubine in the poem is Yang Guifei, the favorite concubine of Tang Minghuang, and the lychee in the poem was transported from Lingnan in a hurry for eight hundred miles regardless of the life and death of the horse. .It is said that Concubine Yang Gui likes to eat lychee, but what she likes is its remarkable beauty effect, which is unknown.

Zhang Taiping ate two more lychees, turned around and went back to his yard to call out Wukong, it would be the best to let him pick lychees.Also coming are Tiantian Yaya and Fan Ming.Xiaoxi feels that after having this monkey, she has received much less love than before, so she is a little hostile towards Wukong. For some reason, Wukong doesn't like birds very much either, and the two little guys become friends. Enemies who fight against each other everywhere.Seeing Wukong being called to pick lychees, Xiaoxi wanted to show off by landing on Zhang Taiping's shoulder.

"Oh, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about litchi." Fan Ming said with a sigh.I just don't know what she is busy with.

Under Zhang Taiping's signal, Wukong quickly climbed up the tree and broke off clusters of lychees.Not to be outdone, Xiaoxi flew up the branches. Although she had no hands and feet to break the branches, she had a sharp mouth, and every time she pecked, a lychee fell down.Naturally, it is not as fast as Wukong and not as effective as Wukong.

"Xiaoxi, come here." Zhang Taiping waved to Xiaoxi on the tree to call it down.This is a typical bad thing done with good intentions.

The branch flew down and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, Xiaoxi was a little frustrated, Zhang Taiping took out a few strawberries to comfort her.

Yaya and Tiantian picked up the lychees that fell from the ground and Xiaoxi pecked them down, but they didn't know how to eat them, they hadn't eaten them before!

At this moment, Fan Ming didn't laugh at her, and said: "Just peel off the outer skin, and be careful of the inner core."

Yaya and Tiantian peeled off the outer core, sucked the pulp and spit out the core, which is somewhat similar to eating jelly. After a while, the two little girls ate until their stomachs were swollen.Fan Ming didn't eat much by herself, but she peeled a few and fed them to Xiaoxi.

After picking off a lot, Zhang Taiping called Wukong down, picked these first at night, and picked the rest when he came back from the city in the next day.

Wukong had already seen the little girl eating this food from the tree, but he was too busy to taste it, so he couldn’t wait to peel one off the tree and stuff it into his mouth, after chewing twice, he spit out one The speed of fruit stones one after another is staggering. It seems that monkeys are naturally suitable for eating this.

After going out of the yard and locking the door, Zhang Taiping took two sticks and went to the house of Mr. Li next door. Only Mr. Tang was watching the news in the house.

"The commander-in-chief is here." Seeing Zhang Taiping coming in, Mr. Tang got up and said.

Zhang Taiping put the lychees in his hand on the coffee table and said: "The lychees on the tree are ripe, I picked some just now, you guys should try it too."

Mr. Tang said with a smile: "It is indeed ripe. Half of the lychee tree is in the yard here. I picked a few in the afternoon and tasted it. It is indeed ripe." Mr. Tang was not polite and accepted the lychee.

Back home, Cai Yazhi saw several people coming in, each holding a branch in their hands, and asked, "Is this the fruit from that big tree?"

Yaya said crisply: "This is called lychee, it's delicious, mom, you can try it." She peeled off one and stuffed it into Cai Yazhi's mouth.

Zhang Taiping sent one branch to the old man, and the rest of the family ate it after sitting together, their stomachs were a little bloated, it seemed that there would be leftovers from tonight's meal.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping sent the two specially reserved lychees to the village chief's house.It's not like Zhang Taiping, who was kind to his family, didn't forget that he had been favored by the village head's family before, and sending some lychees was also a way of expressing his heart.

In front of the village head's house, there was a group of chatterers squatting in the shade as usual. When the old village head saw Zhang Taiping coming, he thought that something was up with him, so he followed into the house.

Zhang Taiping handed the lychees over and said: "I didn't pay attention these few days, the lychees are already ripe, I picked some at night, the old man will try it too."

"Lychee?" The old village chief didn't realize it for a while, but then he remembered, "Is that the big tree behind Xiaozhi's old yard?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Well, that's a lychee tree."

"It hasn't bloomed for many years, why did it bear fruit this year?" The old village head was a little surprised.

Zhang Taiping shrugged his shoulders and said: "Who knows, it will suddenly bloom and bear fruit this year, but very few, maybe there will be more in the coming year."

The old village head said: "It will be good if it bears fruit. I haven't seen any movement in the past few years, so I thought this tree didn't bear fruit. What kind of fruit did you say just now?"

"Litchi." Zhang Taiping repeated.

"Litchi, it sounds familiar." The old village head said after thinking for a while.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "This lychee shell is not as simple as being a little familiar. It is famous outside, especially in our Northwest." People from Shaanxi in the north of the Qinling Mountains call themselves Northwesters.

The old village head said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it is famous or not, eat it first." After speaking, he went out with a stick, and gave one to each of the chatterers outside the door.

After the old village chief entered the house, he pulled Zhang Taiping and said, "Since you're here, let me have a drink with my uncle!" Then he pulled Zhang Taiping into the back room.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help but sit down and drink a few glasses with him, after a while Wang Gui also came in, the three of them were talking and drinking, a bottle of wine couldn't hold it, and it bottomed out after two or three drinks.He didn't stop until the old village chief got a little drunk.After a while of silence, Xing Rushui finally spoke: "I'm leaving for a while."

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes after hearing this, and frowned accordingly.

Xing Rushui, who was carefully observing the emotional changes on Zhang Taiping's face, saw that Zhang Taiping frowned, a faint sweetness appeared in his heart, and asked with a smile on his mouth, "Are you worried about me?"
