Fruit fairy

Chapter 3 Bad news

The dog was beaten for protecting the food, and Li Miao was beaten for protecting the treasure.

After being slapped on the butt by Mrs. Wang, Li Miao didn't dare to have the slightest opinion. Although the howling sound of the mountain was loud, there was not a single tear shed.

"These seeds really look different, where did you find them?" Wang asked while bathing him.

Li Miao was naturally told by Balabala how he was sharp-eyed and how he was able to recognize the pearls. In the end, he felt that he was the luckiest person in the world.

But Li Can, the instigator, dozed off at the side, he had no worries in his mind after his goal had been achieved, and he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, his mother was enough for things like nurturing and planting.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang started to get busy after dinner. The process is also very simple. After washing, wrap it with a damp cotton cloth, let it stand in a warm place for a few days to wait for germination, and then move it to a well-ventilated sandy soil to grow into seedlings. Planted outdoors.

As a fruit buyer, Li Can is very familiar with this business. Naturally, he knows that the germination period of cantaloupe is about ten days, the seedling period is about 20 days, and the whole growth cycle takes about three to four months when the melon is ripe.

Of course, this is just the growth cycle of future generations. As for whether this is the case in this world, and whether the growth cycle of mutant spirit species has changed, it will take some observation to determine.

But in the early morning of the second day, when Mrs. Wang was about to go to the market to sell fruit, she heard someone shouting outside the courtyard:

"Is his sister-in-law at home? The village chief asked me to send a message to his sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wang responded and walked out of the door. The Li clan who hunted for a living said a few words with a heavy face, left another thing and left, while Mrs. Wang leaned blankly in the yard as if she had lost her soul. On the door, after a while, there was a sudden cry.

Just now when the hunter called the door, Li Can heard the sound and woke up. He suddenly heard his mother's cry and felt quite flustered. crawled out.

"Mother, what happened?" Li Can yelled after crawling into the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Mrs. Wang's crying suddenly stopped, and she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up, walked into the courtyard, lifted Li Can up, shook her head and said:
"It's nothing, it's just that your father hasn't seen a shadow yet, and he's just worried."

Li Can looked at her face carefully, but Wang's eyes dodged and she immediately turned her head away. When she raised her hand to rub her dry and swollen eyes, she heard Li Can say:
"Mother, you don't have to hide it from me. Did that person ever tell you how father died?"

"You..." Wang suddenly turned around and wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Can's black and white eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, he couldn't continue.

Her original intention was not to let her two sons know about this, lest they be sad, especially her second son Li Miao was young, if she suddenly found out about this, it would be bad if she was deeply stimulated and left a shadow.

Unexpectedly, this matter could not be hidden from the eldest son Li Can, even though he looked sad at the moment, he never cried out, and he acted extremely strong.

At this time, Mrs. Wang saw Li Can's eyes looking past her to the door, so she also turned her head to look over.

I saw a one-foot-long brass pipe falling outside the door, and this object was just given to him by the hunter.

"Mother, my father never leaves his pipe, and this pipe is bent, and there are bloodstains on the bag of tobacco leaves, what did the hunter say?"

When Wang stood up, tears flowed silently again, picked up the pipe and hid it in the goat cart, helped Li Can sit in the cart, and then said slowly:
"He said that he picked it up on Feipu Cliff, which is far away from the back mountain. He also said that there was a big snake entrenched in the pool under Feipu Cliff, but the snake skin on the big snake's body was cracked, as if it was injured. Look light."

"According to him, there were no monsters at the bottom of the cliff. Before that, I often went down to enjoy the shade and even took a bath in the pool without encountering any danger. I didn't expect that in just a few days, an injured big snake escaped from nowhere and occupied the pool. , and your father was obviously buried in the belly of a snake."

After speaking, Mrs. Wang finally couldn't bear it and cried with Li Can. After a long while, Li Miao in the room suddenly uttered a few words in sleep, which woke the two of them up, holding back their grief and discussing.

"Mother, since the village head asked him to pass on the message, did he say how the village head thinks about it?"

Wang replied: "He said that the village chief suspects that the big snake is a monster with Taoism. Once it recovers, we are afraid that we will all suffer. For the safety of the people, the village chief has sent people into the city to invite capable people to subdue the demon. .”

Although the villagers in Lijiaji live in a remote place, they all know from word of mouth that their ancestors were inextricably linked to the Li family's Xiuxian family thousands of miles away. The history that can be shown off is naturally unwilling to forget.

Since we know that our ancestors came from a family of cultivators, we also know that there are demons and ghosts in this world. That's why in the small town thirty miles away, there are capable people who specialize in exorcising demons and subduing demons. born.

Of course, it's hard to say if it's not working.

In this case, Li Can has nothing to say, he can only hope that the capable man who exorcises demons and subdues demons will destroy the big snake as soon as possible, and avenge his late father.

In order to hide the truth from her youngest son, Li Miao, Wang had no choice but to put away her sorrowful clouds and pretend to be happy, and drove the goat cart to the market to sell melons, while Li Can sat silently in the car and looked at the data in his mind.

He swallowed sixteen jujubes yesterday, but he was too tired to synthesize them into advanced stages.

After thinking about it, the few rows of words after the advanced synthesis reappeared immediately.

Test product name: Sweet jujube [first-order variation]

Peel Firmness: Unknown

Pulp Firmness: Unknown

Core hardness: 13
Sugar content of pulp: unknown

Pulp Acidity: Unknown

Aura Quantity: 0
Advanced fruit core: 1:10 (reiki/essence blood)

Advanced Consumption: Unlocked (Ling Yuan/Essence Blood)

Identification of fruit stone: Variant Lingzao (quality: first-order)
Fruit core cultivation: 1 (spiritual energy/essence blood)

Core Improvement: 1 (Spirit Yuan/Essence Blood)

Storage space: 2/100
Although these sixteen jujubes are not yet fully mature, it is not a big problem to advance the synthesis, and the hardness of the core of ordinary green dates is only 9, but now it is 13 after synthesis, and it is much harder just by looking at the numbers.

It didn't take long for Li Miao to get up after getting enough sleep. After washing, he first fed his elder brother Li Can with goat's milk, and then he ate four vegetable cakes and two bowls of goat's milk. wander around.

On the second day, Li Can's father's memorial tablet was placed in the family's ancestral hall. Wang pushed Li Can and led the ignorant Li Miao, and after going to the ancestral hall to worship, the matter came to an end.

After all, in this world of cultivating immortals, the lives of ordinary people are as cheap as ants, and there is no other way to be buried in the belly of monsters and beasts than to call it a day.

In the next few days, Li Can borrowed his younger brother's hand to donate another fifteen mutated melon seeds and twenty mutated jujube seeds.

There used to be a proverb in the rural areas of later generations: Peach three plums and four pears five years, walnuts and persimmons six or seven years, mulberry trees can feed silkworms after seven years, and jujube trees can be sold for money.

In other words, if these jujubes are cultivated and planted at this time, they will be able to bloom and bear fruit next year, but the output will be less in the first year, and the income will increase a lot in the second year.

However, these claims refer to ordinary jujube trees in later generations, and it remains to be seen whether the same is true for these spirit dates.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the first batch of spiritual seeds of mutated melons had already pulled out their first true leaves, and when three or four true leaves grew in about ten days, they could be transplanted and planted in the orchard.

Li Can calculated secretly, and found that if the growth cycle of these spiritual species was calculated on the basis of [-] days, the time it took was only [-]% of that of the later generations.

Based on this calculation, if there are fairy fruits in this world that need to grow for a hundred years to ripen and fall, then after their seeds are synthesized and advanced, it will only take more than seventy years to harvest the fruit. Looking at the growth speed after the advanced synthesis It is also very good.

Of course, Li Can was just thinking about this kind of thing, and didn't take it too seriously.

During this period of time, Li Can was not idle, and he never stopped stretching and exercising every day. Although he is still unable to walk, he can barely stand up and move slowly, and he can also slowly raise his arms to grab very light objects. , but not for long.

That evening, when her mother Wang came back, she was indeed frowning. Li Miao was young and careless, so she didn't notice it.Li Can didn't say anything after seeing his mother's appearance, and only asked secretly after dinner when his younger brother was playing in the yard.

Wang said in a low voice: "There was a rumor in today's episode that the village chief invited a demon-subduing capable man to lie in ambush for three days and three nights, but he was swallowed by that big snake in one bite."

Li Can was surprised when he heard the words: "That big snake is so fierce and difficult to deal with, I wonder if the village chief has other plans?"

"I heard that there is another gymnasium in the city. It is said that the owner of the gymnasium is a powerful man who subdues demons. It was just that he thought it was too expensive so he didn't invite me here. I wonder if I can invite him this time." Wang replied casually.

In the past few days, there have been rumors circulating in the market, saying that the snake demon of Feipuya seems to have recovered, and actually wandered around in the mountains hunting for food. Two hunters from Lijiaji disappeared after entering the mountain.

There are even rumors that in a few days, the big snake may break into this place to hunt the villagers. Naturally, the villagers are in panic all day long. This place is only tens of miles away from the waterfall cliff. Yes, but only for the villagers, presumably it only takes a moment for the snake demon to come here.

Fortunately, what the villagers were worried about did not happen. A few days later, without knowing what conditions the village chief had promised, he finally invited the high-priced demon-subduing power to Lijiaji.

According to Wang's return, the tall and powerful man who subdued the demon was like an iron tower, with thick eyebrows and beard like steel needles, and the most intimidating thing was the golden mace on his back. Instead of a tower, it is connected by seven fist-sized golden skulls.

So his treasure is both like a stick and a mace, but some villagers have heard the reputation of the owner of the museum, so they know that his treasure is actually called 'Blood-devouring Golden Skull Mace', so it spread in the group.

Villagers still don't know what the owner's ability is, but this person's ostentation is great. When he walks through the market, the villagers see that he is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a lot of exquisite accessories. A gemstone ring, a jade pendant on his chest, and a golden Ling on his waist. There are several disciples behind him bragging about his achievements loudly, and calling on the villagers not to be afraid. .

The villagers don't know if they will succeed in no time, but these people look like the same thing anyway.

Li Can didn't say anything after talking about it, but whispered in his heart:
"Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who pretended to be forced to be fucked, but for the safety of the clansmen, I hope he is not among them."
