Chapter 96: Showdown
Although there didn't seem to be many strawberries, Ye Zhen picked three baskets anyway. After pushing aside the leaves on the outside, he found many strawberries hidden inside.
Mother Ye looked at Ye Zhen in confusion as he walked back and forth, and watched Ye Zhen busying around with something to say but hesitated. Just as she was about to ask, she was stopped by Father Ye.
"No, I saw this strawberry yesterday without any flowers, how come it has grown fruits today? This is so strange!"
"Why are you stopping me? Ask Ye Zi what's going on!"
Mother Ye frowned and stared at Father Ye, not understanding why Father Ye stopped her.
In fact, Ye's father had been holding it in his heart for a long time. Now that the thick-skinned Ye's mother finally discovered it, he was relieved.
God have mercy on him, he has been feeling suffocated for the past few months. He wants to find someone to talk to but is afraid of delaying Ye Zhen's business.
Take the plums and bayberries that I sold before, for example. The plums have been in this yard for more than 20 years, so he knows what the fruit looks like. Although they taste okay, the taste is far from this amazing, and the fruits were not so big before. Not only have they completely changed now, but they are also sold at such a high price.
The plum tree is just a common local variety. Other people's trees are still the same, so how could mine suddenly change so drastically?
The wolfberry branches at the back were clearly just cuttings when I bought them, not even as long as my arm, but they took root and grew in just a few days, and are now blooming and bearing fruit. Seeing the flowers are so dense, there will surely be fruit by then.
He swore that his ancestors for 18 generations were all farmers and he had never seen so many fruits grown from cuttings in that year.
Moreover, after the harvest, the wolfberry leaves grew back in a few days, and there were fresh and tender wolfberry leaves behind. He didn't dare to contact Zhao Gang to come and harvest them, for fear that people would find out.
Now those wolfberry leaves have not only grown old, but have also grown several inches longer. And it’s only been a few days?
He didn't figure it out day and night, and didn't even tell Ye Ma. He was also afraid that the wolfberries at the foot of the mountain would be discovered and spread. During this period of time, he strolled around the mountain every day, for fear of being seen.
Fortunately, he went to the back mountain because the villagers heard that his family raised a few pigs and sheep, and the mountain was behind Ye Zhen's house, so in order to avoid suspicion, not many people came to wander around the mountain.
There are mountains everywhere anyway, so you can climb any mountain you want.
The wolfberry fence on the slope was right in front of people every day, but no one noticed it. When others asked about it, he could use the excuse that the wolfberry branches from the old tree on the wall of his yard were dug up and planted there. The vegetable garden grew so fast that he could also use new varieties of seeds to cover it up. But the strawberries bloomed and bore fruit overnight, and Dad Ye finally had no other excuse to deceive himself.
Dad Ye pulled Mom Ye over and whispered carefully into her ear:
"Don't be impatient, let's see what Ye Zi has to say!"
Ye Zhen of course understood what was going on as Mr. and Mrs. Ye were whispering to each other secretly. She planned to confront her family later.
As time goes by and she gets older, there will be no need to worry about urging her to get married. It will also be a problem for her to stay young when her parents grow old.
She could have gone deep into the mountains and forests, but the bond with her parents was still there, and she wasn't practicing the ruthless way, so she didn't want to cut off worldly ties.
Blood ties are also cause and effect, farming requires the right time, and cultivation also requires cause and effect. Going with the flow is the right way.
She currently cannot tell whether her family members can practice cultivation or not. She can only find out after she has established her foundation, opened up all her spiritual orifices, and opened her spiritual eyes.
But laying the foundation is a long and arduous task.
She can practice slowly and without haste, but her family is getting older, and there is less advantage in practicing, so she might as well confront them.
If they can practice, they will be led to the immortal path according to their wishes. If they cannot practice, Ye Zhen will stay by their side and serve them until they grow old.
After she leads the villagers to plant the fruit trees and spiritual plants she cultivates, and her cultivation level improves, she will be able to deepen the formation, expand its range, and create a large spiritual formation to cover the nearby mountains and waters, forming a mountain village filled with spiritual energy.
The residents living here will live longer and healthier with the long-term nourishment of spiritual energy and vitality, so their family will not be an eyesore.
I chose to return to my hometown because the environment and geography here are advantageous for cultivation. It is closed and not open enough, and there are fewer people so there are fewer troubles.
If everyone in the village were to plant fruit trees and everyone was very poor, as long as there was one family that made money and took the lead, others would be willing to follow.
But if she wanted to shoulder this responsibility alone, not only would it take a long time, it would also delay the cultivation of Grandpa Ye and the others.
This was also Ye Zhen’s original plan.
Younger brother Ye is young and has a lively personality. Afraid that he can't keep secrets, Ye Zhen plans to wait for him to calm down before telling him.
…………
After picking the strawberries, under the eager gaze of Ye's father and others, Ye Zhen calmly picked the ripe fruits in the yard.
Figs, blueberries, raspberries, loquats, lychees…
After picking the fruits, they placed them in the living room and left them there. The next step was to pick up a shovel and, under the curious gaze of Grandpa Ye and the others, find a good spot in the backyard to start digging.
After walking around the grape trellis and petting the cat, he planted the mango trees, jackfruit trees and some rare fruit tree seedlings brought back from the pickup truck according to the set formation positions.
Those that are relatively strong and have strong water absorption ability are placed in the Kan position, those that like heat and sunshine are placed in the Li fire position, and those that have strong climbing ability and strong vitality are placed in the Dui Ze position...
Ye's mother and the others followed Ye Zhen from the west to the south, and from the south to the east. After circling the backyard, Ye Zhen planted another bare sapling in the center.
Ye Zhen was seen strangely picking up some stones and wood and burying them in the mud, and no one made a sound.
Grandpa Ye and the other two old men followed in confusion, not being able to figure out what Ye Zhen was doing.
Ye Zhen buried the things and stabilized the small Heling Formation, then called his family to stand at the backyard door.
Afterwards, in front of everyone, Ye Zhen clasped his hands together, drawing spiritual energy into the fruit trees that had just been planted. He then performed the Spring Breeze and Drizzle Technique to summon a small cloud to evaporate the spiritual energy. Then a small spiritual rain fell, just in time to pour on the small area in the backyard.
Dad Ye opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand in disbelief. The rain fell on his hands and they felt wet. As if he remembered something, he ran to the front yard again. The sun was shining brightly and the clouds were light.
Dad Ye was dumbfounded.
What kind of skill does this leaf have? How can it bring rain? Thinking of the way Ye Zhen had just done the finger gesture, his hands followed involuntarily, and he almost broke his fingers.
Not only Dad Ye was dumbfounded, but Mom Ye also opened her mouth wide and her eyes were wide open. Mom Ye grabbed Dad Ye's arm tightly, and her hands were shaking with excitement.
After the rain fell for a short while, the fruit trees that had been drooping just now suddenly grew taller. Mother Ye saw tender buds emerging from the branches, which gradually stretched out and sprouted after a while, and all the leaves on the trees unfolded.
They watched one or two flowers... blooming right under the eyes of Ye Ma and the others. As if that was not shocking enough, fruits grew one or two from under the flowers, yellow, red, round, and long... The fruits on the trees were already ripe and hanging on the branches.
In just a short while, the plant is ready to bloom and bear fruit.
Ye Zhen stood beside him with a calm expression.
Oh my god! This wave is complete!
The spiritual energy is also empty!
These things completely broke everyone's previous understanding. Ye Ma murmured in a daze:
"This can't be a dream!"
