Chapter 134 Picking Wolfberries

Another day of practice is completed.

Ye Zhen stood up from the orchard and spread the vitality in his body to the cherry tree next to him. Green leaves could be seen spreading out with the naked eye. The adult cherry tree that had been transplanted a few days ago was obviously growing well.

After the fruit trees were planted, in order to build a training ground as quickly as possible and obtain more spiritual energy, Ye Zhen simply discussed with his father Ye and the others to practice directly on the mountain at night.

Ye's father was so shocked that he subconsciously disagreed: "Why do you want to live in the mountains for no reason? Can't you practice at home? There is no place to stay in the mountains."

Although there are no large animals, the back mountain is covered with lush vegetation and has many snakes, insects, rats and ants. The mosquitoes on the mountain in summer are no joke. If you stay there for a night, you will be bitten all over the head.

Ye Zhen: "My skills are special. The closer to the trees, the better. The trees will mutate faster. I just need a mat. Wild animals won't dare to get close to me."

Father Ye was helpless, as he didn't know how to practice, but he listened to Ye Zhen's words, told everyone in the family, and didn't say anything else.

However, in order to make it convenient for Ye Zhen to meditate, the next morning, Ye's father bought bricks and cement and brought them to the mountain to help Ye Zhen build a small room. There were many big and small trees on the mountain, so in response to Ye Zhen's request, a large window was opened to provide much better lighting.

The small room is not big, so Dad Ye and Little Brother Ye can finish it in one day. Under the strong sun, it will be dry in two days.

Another electric wire was pulled to provide electricity, and Ye Zhen moved the small bed and some other things in, and this little nest on the mountain looked quite presentable.

This made little brother Ye want to live in the mountains, but he was scolded by his father Ye. He could only envy his sister for being able to stay in the mountains.

Yes, the reason given by my family was that there were too many fruit trees on the mountain and there was nothing else to block the way, so they had to send people to guard the mountain.

At this moment, Ye Zhen came out of the small house and walked along the mountain road, with fruit trees planted along the way.

Some open spaces where there is room for planting are filled with various fruit trees. These fruit trees have been growing for several years, so the saplings appear to be more than one meter tall.

Some will bear fruit in the same year, while others may not bear fruit until next year or in a few years.

As Ye Zhen's cultivation level improved, the operation of his skills became faster. His current skills had reached the second level of Plant Spirit. The alienation of plants was obviously accelerated, and the newly grown tender leaves of the fruit trees along the way had a faint spiritual glow.

The oil tea trees at the foot of the mountain are not in their fruit-bearing period this year, but the wolfberries planted a few months ago can be picked.

The wolfberries grew densely, and the fruits were big and red. Ye Zhen picked one and compared it with his thumb. It was actually a circle bigger and tasted sweet.

This patch of wolfberry at the foot of the mountain has been irrigated for several months. Although the year is short, there are many wolfberry bushes, which can produce a lot of spiritual energy for Ye Zhen every day. Like the strawberry field, in addition to the spiritual stones in the house, it is currently the main source of spiritual energy for Ye Zhen's cultivation.

Now the wolfberries are all red, and Ye Zhen is picking them with a bamboo basket.

"Dad, it's time to pick the wolfberries."

Father Ye sighed, "I totally forgot. A few days ago it was half green and half red. I didn't expect it to turn red so quickly."

The wolfberries don't wait for anyone. Once they turn red, they will fall off easily. If it happens to rain, then it's all over. You will have to pick them up one by one in the mud.

"Hurry, how about calling a few people?" Dad Ye took all the bamboo baskets in the house. The area surrounding the foot of the mountain was full of wolfberries. This was not a small number.

"No, I can do it by myself later." Ye Zhen promised, "Just help me carry the wolfberries back after I pick them."

"That's no problem. Just ride the tricycle over to the foot of the mountain and pull it back."

Since Ye Zhen said he had a way, Ye's father did not ask any further questions and called Ye Xiaodi out to transport the wolfberries.

Ye Ma and the others picked them at home. They also grew in a circle outside the yard. Although not all of them were red, some of them were still there and could be picked.

The wolfberries at the foot of the mountain were just as Ye Zhen had said, with a high yield. At a glance, they were all red and hidden among the branches.

"Dad, I'll pick the air from over there, and Yangzi can just come over and pull it. I can pick it fast."

Ye Zhen told his father and started picking the fruits from the other end of the mountain.

There are many bushes here and few people come here. The mountain road is also quite steep. There is no one around. Except for the mountain birds flying by, it is silent.

Ye Zhen stood still, waved his hands, and spiritual energy flowed, and the red wolfberries fell off the branches one by one.

All the red wolfberries were floating in the air. Ye Zhen waved his hand and the wolfberries flew into the basket on the ground.

After a while, a large area of ​​wolfberries on the tree was empty, leaving only the green wolfberry leaves.

Two half-person-high bamboo baskets on the ground were full of wine. Ye Zhen brought over four backpacks in total. He walked a few steps and picked all the wolfberries that were difficult to pick from the bumps at the foot of the mountain. The four bamboo baskets were also full.

It only took a few minutes for Ye Zhen to go back and get the basket.

Little Brother Ye stuffed the food into his mouth one bite at a time, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bright red wolfberry juice.

Ye Zhen looked away in disdain: "I say, you've already got it right next to your mouth, is it really that delicious?"

"Sister, this is really delicious, sweet and juicy, and has a nice aroma, even better than raspberries!"

Little Brother Ye picked another handful and chewed them: "Sis, where did you buy the seedlings? They can all be eaten as fruit."

"I bought it online, it's a new variety." Ye Zhen said perfunctorily, carrying a few bamboo baskets, and went back.

After Ye Zhen finished picking all the fruits, she asked her younger brother Ye to transport them to her side. The young man was strong and could easily pull a whole basket onto the tricycle at a time, so Ye Zhen did not wait there to help.

Dad Ye picked a basket of wolfberries, and when little brother Ye left, he spread out a few empty baskets and cast a spell, and all the wolfberries fell into the baskets.

After a while, several baskets were full.

"Wow! This is a great method, fast and not tiring!" Dad Ye looked at it in amazement, with a look of admiration on his face.

If this were used for tilling the land, harvesting vegetables and picking fruits, how much manpower would be saved?

Father Ye grumbled with regret, thinking that Ye Zi was really wasting his talent. If he wasn't afraid of being discovered, he would just help people harvest the rice one place after another every year when the rice was ripe all over the country. What was the point of those machines?

Ye Zhen was helpless. She was often speechless at the crazy ideas of her family members.

There is still a large section of fruit left to be picked, but the bamboo baskets are not big enough, so we can only wait for Brother Ye to bring the wolfberries back home and empty the baskets.

Now that Dad Ye was free, he picked a handful of fruits to eat. The seeds were small, the flesh was rich, the taste was sweet, the skin was thin, and most importantly, the fruits were big.

Dad Ye was thinking about how to sell it. Generally, wolfberries have to be dried, but looking at the wolfberries in his hand, if he didn't tell them, people would think they were some kind of fruit.

It was still early, and Ye Zhen thought it was fine, so he prepared to go to the valley to take a look.

"Dad, I'll go over first. We're almost done here. I'll pick the rest when I come back."

Father Ye nodded: "Go ahead."

Ye Zhen simply used his luck to fly among the mountains and forests with one leap at a time. The distance that usually takes him a long time to walk arrived in just a few seconds.

Some of the colorful flowers in the valley have withered, while others have grown more luxuriant, with rich fragrance filling the air, and bees on the trees busy collecting nectar.

The old tree has grown a lot taller, and its shade covers the sky. There are many new beehives on the trunk, and it seems that the bee colony has expanded a lot.

Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and soon he would be able to harvest honey again.

When we arrived at the flower field, the giant blooming flowers looked strange and dreamy, and there were newly ripe watermelons on the ground.

Ye Zhen put down the bamboo basket he was carrying, picked a few red tomatoes, picked some fragrant melons, picked a few roses and inserted them in the gaps in the basket, then picked up the basket and carried a big watermelon in one hand back.

"Is this the flower from that valley?" Ye's mother took the flowers in surprise and asked curiously.

"The fruits ripen really quickly, but they're too far away, otherwise I'd like to go over and take a look."

Grandma Ye was very curious about the valley, but it was too far away and she couldn't climb the mountain with her old limbs.

Grandpa Ye dried the wolfberries he had picked, washed his hands, took out two cantaloupes, rinsed them with water, cut them into pieces and shared them with everyone.

"By the way, Ye Zi, go get a package later. Your aunt sent some seafood." Mother Ye was chewing the melon, thinking of the call from her sister-in-law just now, and continued:

"When you go to pick up the express, take a few tomatoes and melons with you." Mother Ye thought about it, saw the wolfberries at home, packed another big bag of wolfberries and fruits together, and told Ye Zhen to send it back.
