I led Dahuang into the stream and walked downstream along the creek. It hadn't rained for a long time and there wasn't much water in the reservoir, so the flow in the stream was not strong.
Sensing its owner's intention, Dahuang took the lead and ran forward. There was no danger, so Meng Qidi let it run.
Along the way, she encountered some shallow puddles, which allowed her to catch a few fat fish. She also picked up a lot of nice, flat stones and threw them into the space.
The stones are big and small. The big ones can be placed on the two hills on the west side as a tourist attraction.
The small one is placed in the yard as a decoration.
“Woof woof woof.”
Hearing Dahuang's voice coming from the front, Meng Qidi hurried over.
"Woof woof woof." Dahuang barked towards the bank of the stream.
Meng Qidi got closer and found that it was actually a hidden spring. Water kept leaking out from the cracks around a large rock...
She paused, and moved closer hesitantly. Could this be the blocked exit of the underground river as she guessed?
She stared at the big rock for a long time, hearing the sound of water splashing inside. She became more and more certain that there must be an underground river inside, otherwise there was no way to explain why the stream was so big before.
It is estimated that the large rocks were washed here during the flood and blocked the exit.
I don’t know if my guess is correct, but everything will become clear once I break the stone.
After looking for a long time and searching around the space, she didn't see any explosives or anything. Meng Qidi was worried. How could she move this huge rock that couldn't even be pushed?
There was no way to solve the problem, so Meng Qidi could only take Dahuang down the mountain first. However, at least she knew where the problem was.
Passing the tea trees planted the day before, Meng Qidi took out two tea trees and a bamboo basket of mountain products from the space.
Afraid that the branches would be damaged if dragged back, she wrapped them with a large piece of canvas. But if they were still damaged, that would be fate.
Carrying a backpack, he dragged a small tea tree back.
"Why did you come back so late?"
In the yard, Old Man Zhao stood up upon hearing the noise and hurried to help take down the backpack. "What did you get? It's so heavy?"
"These are some mountain products I picked. Please take a look at them yourself. I still haven't brought back some things." Meng Qidi carefully put down the tea tree and went to the backyard.
Old man Zhao glanced at the big tree she dragged back and was shocked. How did she get it back?
Meng Qidi came back quickly, and this time she brought in a bigger tea tree, the branches of which were carefully wrapped.
As a professional plant researcher, Old Man Zhao was extremely satisfied with Meng Qidi's attention to detail.
He walked over with his hands behind his back, "Is this a tea tree? What kind?"
"Who knows? I don't know if the tea leaves have been damaged. I should be able to pick some."
Meng Qidi put the tree down and gasped. Although she was very strong, the tree was not light.
"Have some common sense, Qingming tea is the best. How delicious can it be if you pick the tea now?"
Old man Zhao walked around the tree, then suddenly squatted down, opened a corner, sniffed it gently, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this tea tree?"
"It was pulled down from the small waterfall in the mountains. What's wrong with that?" Meng Qidi asked suspiciously after taking a sip of well water.
"This tea tree is different. Look at its leaves and trunk."
Old man Zhao stroked the tree trunk as if it were a treasure. "This is just like the orchid and lotus. The genes must have changed. The pattern has become more beautiful. And the growth lines here are simply too perfect..."
Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, since she didn't understand a word he said, she might as well just think that the old man was praising the tea trees?"
Old Man Zhao asked, "Are there waterfalls in your mountains?"
"What's not in the mountains? I guess there's an underground river. The flow of this stream used to be very strong. I just found that the exit over there was blocked."
"Underground river... No wonder. I said something was wrong with your house. How could the water quality be different? The water in your well must have come from above. Yes, there is an underground river underground. It makes sense that the water in your well is different."
Old man Zhao kept talking, and Meng Qidi herself was shocked. This, this, this...
The problem that she had always been on guard against was justified by this old man?
After flushing the tree roots with well water, Meng Qidi did not rush to plant the tea tree. She went to the kitchen to fill her stomach before coming out.
Several people were discussing around the tea tree in the yard. Old man Zhao held the teacup, took a sip, and looked very enjoyable.
Wang Jinhua saw her daughter-in-law coming out and asked quickly, "Xiaoqi, what should we do with these?"
"Just leave it to me, and you guys see what to do with those dry goods." Meng Qidi rolled up her sleeves, picked up the hoe and prepared to dig a hole.
Old man Zhao grabbed her and said, "Where are you going to plant it? Tea trees are picky about where they grow. They need to be moist and sunny."
"On the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain." Meng Qidi pointed to the place she had chosen before. In her previous life, she had heard that the best tea leaves all grew in the air on the edge of the cliff.
Old Man Zhao said unhappily, "That won't work. The soil on the hill to the west of you is thin and dry, and it's not suitable for tea trees at all."
"Where is that?" Meng Qidi asked. There was no place there, she only had two trees.
"It's on the bank beside the lotus pond. It has plenty of water and is exposed to the sun. It's simply the best place."
"Isn't it hard to dig a hole over there? The tree can't stand without a big hole."
"Then your hilltop won't work either, unless you dig a hole in their rocky hill."
The old man and the young man spoke one sentence at a time, leaving the audience speechless...
"So which one do you think is the best to plant?" asked old man Zhao. This damn girl has no respect for the elderly or the young at all and is determined to fight with him no matter what.
Meng Qidi shrugged, "Didn't you say this place is not good and that place is not good?"
Old Zhao didn't want to see her anymore, "I don't care about you, I'm going to the village!"
The old man walked away with his hands behind his back. Meng Qidi spread her hands. This old man has double standards. He can say that others are bad, but he can't stand others talking about him...
After walking around the yard, Meng Qidi finally found a place for a tea tree, which was in the backyard near the stream.
There is a gap between the bamboo and the courtyard wall, which is just big enough to plant a tea tree.
It's just that digging the hole is a bit difficult, as there is a wall corner on one side and intricate bamboo roots underground on the other side.
Of course, digging is not a complicated matter. Just avoid touching the corners and chop down the bamboo roots directly...
She had to dig a big hole here.
Plant the tea trees, fill in the soil and water them, all in one go.
As long as it is irrigated with well water, there is no need to worry about it not surviving.
There was also a big tea tree. Meng Qidi walked around the house and finally found it in the corner of the west yard.
It is humid there all year round, gets sunlight, and the soil is good too. It is the best choice.
After planting the tea trees, Meng Qidi took the opportunity when Wang Jinhua and the little girl were sorting out the dry goods at the door, and went directly to the western hilltop.
He took out a few large stones from the space and carefully placed them on the edge of the cliff.
There is still a huge stone in the space. Meng Qidi walked towards the eastern hill. The big stone can be placed here. If they go camping in the future, that stone will be the best choice.
