Chapter 284 Brother Ye Lu paused and asked, "What's the matter? ...
Ye Lu paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Are you in trouble?" Ye Lu asked his seventh uncle. His seventh uncle had never said such words before. Since it was a rare occasion for him to say so, Ye Lu would definitely help.
Uncle He Qi looked helpless. He was both helpless and happy that his nephew was anxious to help. As an elder, how could he not be happy to see his younger generation being filial? At the same time, he remembered to comfort him and said, "It's not a difficult thing, nor is it a bad thing. On the contrary, it may be a good thing."
"I would like to invite you to go down the mountain and take a look at my orchard." Uncle He Qi said hesitantly.
"Fruit forest?" Ye Lu didn't react at first, but soon he knew where the fruit forest that Uncle He Qi was talking about was. It should be a remote area at the entrance of He Village behind the village. It was originally empty, and Uncle He Qi later planted a lot of fruit trees on the open space.
There are different varieties of fruit trees, including pears, crabapples, plums, etc.... In the beginning, they were planted randomly, so the fruit forest was a bit sloppy. It was not until the orchard grew to a certain scale and Uncle He Qi intentionally divided the trees according to varieties that it became more organized.
The reason why Ye Lu had an impression of that orchard was because of Uncle He Qi.
Didn’t I just say that since Ye Lu went to the mountains, Uncle He Qi only went up the mountain to help his nephew with affairs for a period of time, and then gradually went up the mountain less and less frequently? Sometimes Ye Lu went down the mountain to find his uncle and invite him to go up the mountain, but every time he saw Uncle He Qi’s expression of polite refusal and his diligent figure busy in the orchard.
Over time, Ye Lu was deeply impressed by the orchard.
"What's going on? Can you tell me clearly?" Ye Lu frowned slowly. He knew how much effort Uncle He Qi had put into the orchard, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect it. He also thought seriously about what could happen in the orchard. Could it be that there was something strange?
"There is a strange fruit on the fruit tree. I suspect it is a strange plant, but it is a little different. I am more worried that it is a weird plant." The mutated fruits in the orchard are not necessarily strange plants. There are generally two situations for such mutated fruits. If there are many people and no signs of attack, it is most likely a strange plant. The fruit forest is close to the edge, with sufficient strange power and sparsely populated, so it is really hard to say. It is also very likely to be weird.
Uncle He Qi's suspicion is very reasonable. Of course, a strange plant is the best. If it is weird, Uncle He Qi will definitely be uncomfortable.
Ye Lu probably thought that it was because of this that Uncle He Qi did not go looking for the guard team. If Ye Lu took action, at least he could leave an intact body of that plant monster.
Guard...hard to say?
But looking at Uncle Seven's expression, Ye Lu seemed to have decided to kill the weird plants and leave the strange plants.
"Okay." Ye Lu agreed readily. He also noticed that Uncle He Qi was anxious. A caring nephew would never make his favorite uncle anxious.
Uncle He Qi's expression showed a slight hint of joy, and he couldn't help but grin.
This time when going down the mountain, Ye Lu did not bring A Xi the bird with him.
The main reason Ye Lu wanted to take Ah Xi bird away was that it refused to go. As soon as Ye Lu stretched out his hand, Ah Xi bird used its agility to dodge and be caught.
Ah Xi, the little bird turned around and chirped.
"Chirp!" I don't want to go!
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. This was a bit abnormal. If it had happened in the past? The playful man would probably have caught up with him impatiently, just when Ye Lu was about to ask.
When Ye Lu lowered his eyes, he noticed that there was some wandering look in Ah Xi Xiaoniao's black eyes. His gaze continued to sink and fell on Ah Xi Xiaoniao's chubby little body.
“..........”Okay, he understood why.
Ye Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that Ximingren said that he didn't care about those little kids from He Village but he was just being stubborn. In fact, he did care about them. He didn't want to go down the mountain because he didn't want those people to see his current appearance.
What can He Village have? The Ximing people may not care about other people in He Village. Only those little kids who offer sacrifices to the Ximing people regularly have a sense of existence in the eyes of the Ximing people.
Xi Mingren didn't want his followers to see that he had no intimidation at all.
"Then where are you going to stay?" Ye Lu withdrew his hand. If you don't want to go, then don't go. Ye Lu is not going to force it. It's just that it's not safe for a birdie ball to stay alone on the mountain, so he naturally has to ask.
"Chirp!" The little bird chirped confidently at the pine tree.
Beside Qingsong, that is a good place. Ye Lu nodded thoughtfully. He was not surprised at the choice of Ximingren. He couldn't help but gloat over Qingsong's misfortune. Look, what is he hiding? Even Ah Xi bird found that Qingsong treated him differently than before.
"That's fine. The wood spirit of Qingsong is good for you. It would be nice to stay longer." Ye Lu agreed with Xi Mingren's decision. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and left. He did not go to see the little bird off. Qingsong was not far away. Ye Lu only needed to give a few instructions in his spiritual consciousness, and the little bird would jump around and find itself. With Qingsong watching over it, it would not be in danger.
Ye Lu turned and left.
The red birdie ball stayed on the stone table and watched the two people disappear into the medicinal diet. After being paralyzed for a while, it jumped towards the top of the mountain with great interest.
Actually, that green tree is also quite interesting.
Ye Lu and He Qijiu went straight to the orchard at the entrance of the village after they came down the mountain. They did not walk through the middle but took a long detour to avoid the sight of most people.
Most people here specifically refer to only a few.
Unfortunately, they failed.
When they were halfway there, the two men vaguely saw a figure blocking their way. Ye Lu was the first to notice it and frowned subconsciously. Then, when he sensed a familiar breath, his brows suddenly smoothed down with a strange expression. He couldn't help but glance at Uncle He Qi who was still confused beside him.
Uncle He Qi had no idea what was about to happen. When he saw a figure blocking his way, he ignored the familiarity of the figure and muttered in a low voice, "What's going on? I've already hidden here, but I still ran into someone. What kind of luck is this? Should I go and pray to the God of Eating Wind and Drinking Dew?"
"Luckily it wasn't my brother, it would have been terrible if it was my brother."
"But my brother is so busy right now, he probably doesn't have time to catch me."
Ye Lu heard it all clearly. Halfway through his words, he could not help but stop himself. He wanted to give a reminder, but then he kept silent under the calm gaze of the figure not far away. Ahem... he didn't dare.
Uncle He Qi had no idea what was going to happen next.
He Si calmly waited for his brother and nephew to approach him, and took in all his brother's mutterings. When they were not far away, he asked calmly, "Why are you hiding from your brother?"
Uncle He Qi replied subconsciously: "I am already an adult, how embarrassing is it to be beaten by my own brother?"
After saying this, He Qi realized something was wrong. Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar?
He Qi suddenly realized who had spoken. He was horrified but still kept his head down, refusing to look up even if he died, as if this way his uncle would not have to face reality.
"Fourth uncle." Ye Lu's greeting completely shattered He Qi's last hope.
"Um."
He Qi then looked up reluctantly and began to greet him, "Fourth Brother."
This time, Fourth Uncle He did not reply with a "hmm". He looked at his cowardly younger brother for a while, and after a while, he sneered in response.
"Oh."
He Qi was very upset at being ridiculed. Why was he saying "yeah" to his nephew and "heh" to him? Did his brother think he was upset? But he was in the wrong, so He Qi could only suppress his dissatisfaction and wait patiently for his brother to vent his anger.
If his brother doesn't vent his anger, he will definitely take it out on him.
He Qi is a little timid.
"..." He Si looked at his brother who seemed honest and his expression was a little helpless. Was this an admission of mistake?
Forget it. He Si was not going to embarrass his brother in front of the younger generation. After all, he had to take care of this kid's self-esteem.
"Did you go to the mountain?" He Si asked.
Not angry anymore? He Qi smiled. As soon as he heard this, he knew his brother was not going to beat him up. He immediately said cheerfully, "Yes, ask Lu Wazi to come down. Brother, why are you here? Are you waiting for me?"
What He Qi wanted to ask more was how his brother found him?
He Si seemed to know what He Qi was thinking, and said calmly: "You have been restless these past few days. It's obvious that you have something on your mind. I was going to see how long it would take you to come find me, but I didn't expect that you would look for your nephew instead of anyone else."
