Chapter 285 Blood Spot Li "Hehe." He Qiyi talked about this...
"Hehe." He Qi subconsciously played dumb when talking about this topic. He couldn't possibly say that he didn't want the fruit to be strangely killed by the guards, so he went to his nephew for help.
He Qi doesn't want to be beaten by his brother.
"Brother, how did you know?" He Qi suddenly remembered and asked with some confusion.
He Si's expression changed at this time, with a mixture of disgust and helplessness. He said, "No matter how remote the orchard is, it is still in the village. Why do you think the guards didn't see it?"
The guard team had told He Si about it when they discovered it, and He Lan was also aware of it. He Lan originally wanted to discuss with He Qi whether to go find He Qi, but He Si, considering his brother's feelings for Guo Lin, said that he would solve the matter.
He Si initially thought that He Qi would come to find him, but he never expected that this man would go directly to find Lu Wazi.
He Si was very surprised when he saw it. The whole development was beyond his expectations.
Now that I think about it, it makes sense. The three Ye Lu brothers are all in the guard team, and none of them has proposed to leave the guard team yet. It makes sense for them to go to the orchard to see if there is any problem, and the guard team can also explain it to the village. Another point is that it is currently impossible to tell whether the fruit is a strange plant or a strange thing, which means that both are possible.
Where in the entire He Village has the most strange plants? Surely it must be Chongshan. Lu Wazi can indeed be said to be the person in He Village who knows the most about strange plants.
Thinking of this, He Si was not so angry at his silly brother anymore.
The only thing that made He Si angry was that his brother might have been cheated because he didn't use his brain. Now he seemed to have used his brain and the person he was looking for was his family. What was there for him to be angry about?
".......?" He Qi never expected this to be the reason. Doesn't this mean that his every move has been noticed by his brother?
He Qi thought about the efforts he made when he went to Chongshan, and he deliberately avoided the sight of the guards. He didn't even dare to imagine how He Lan would look when he saw him behind his back.
No, Helan must have seen it.
He Qi even suspected that He Lan was already on the way to mocking him.
When He Qi thought of this, his face instantly turned bitter. For the next period of time, he would be laughed to death by the whole village.
"Let's go." After He Si and the other two received the news, their expressions returned to normal. Then he turned around and spoke lightly.
"Go? Where to?" He Qi said in surprise: "Brother, are you not angry anymore?"
"Why should I be angry? If I get angry about such a small thing, I will never be able to stop being angry." He Si said calmly, which was actually a way of saying that he was not angry anymore.
Congratulations? Immediately happy.
Ye Lu, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a smile. Did Fourth Uncle mean to let them go?
The atmosphere around the three of them instantly became much more cheerful and not as tense as it was at the beginning.
When we reached the entrance of the village, we saw an orchard as expected. The orchard was not lush and green. It was evening, and the sky above the orchard was gloomy. The branches were skinny and looked ghostly.
In fact, this is normal.
After all, this world is weird. If you want weird plants to appear, there must be weird aura. Once there is too much weird aura, it is easy for such an atmosphere to appear in the forest. Don't think that all the weird plants on the mountains are good now. When you look at them at night, they may not be as normal as the orchard in front of you.
He Qi led the way, and turned to the uncle and nephew who were following behind him and said, "Follow me."
The three of them were traveling through the orchard, and they encountered several small monsters along the way, all of which were hunted and eaten in time by the patrolling black dogs.
The black dogs looked curiously at the two-legged animals that were still in the orchard after dark. They first sniffed a few times to make sure there were no unfamiliar smells, then they whimpered a few times, said hello, and turned around to leave.
All the weird things in this forest have been eaten by them anyway, so these two-legged beasts should not be in danger.
He Qi was leading the way in front and Ye Lu was at the end. When he saw the human-like movements of the leading black dog, his eyes were full of admiration. This black dog was really good-looking. Apart from anything else, this black dog looked energetic and strong. It might be because it had been eating weird things, so its fur was shiny and smooth. Under the moonlight at night, it looked as beautiful as a piece of black satin.
The feel is good at first glance.
Seeing this, Ye Lu couldn't help but feel itchy. He also knew that the black dog in the village was very human-like and would not bite people easily. When the black dog left, he pretended to touch its head casually.
Then, he got the reserved but slightly enthusiastic attention of the largest black dog.
After pasting the stickers, the black dogs left without mercy.
... Was he just coaxed by a familiar black dog? Ye Lu had the illusion that he was being perfunctorily treated.
"The black dogs are used to being approached by people, but they need to hunt monsters most of the day to consume their own monster power, so they can only play briefly with the villagers." He Si saw it and explained.
I see, they are just a bunch of workaholics.
I understand.
Ye Lu suddenly realized.
He Qi stopped at a plum tree near the outskirts of the orchard.
This plum tree is not as conspicuous as other trees around the orchard. Judging from the surrounding conditions, it should have been planted by Uncle He Qi at the beginning. This plum tree is not very strong. The soil around it is very fine and there are no weeds. It can be seen that the person who planted it was very careful. The plum tree does not grow tall probably because this fruit tree has been weak since childhood.
"We're here. It's right here." He Qi stopped and pointed at a medium-sized fruit on a branch of a fruit tree. He said a little embarrassedly, "It's this fruit that I feel is a little weird."
"Luwazi, what do you think?"
He Si was lucky because the guards had told him about it. Even though he had never been to the orchard, he already had an idea of it in his mind.
This was the first time for Ye Lu to see his uncle's beloved orchard. He looked at the fruit tree carefully. This plum tree should be a unique species in this world, the blood-spotted plum. The fruit tree seeds were given by the neighboring Huoshan Village when He Village first came to Jinshi Qunling, and later given to He Qizhong.
As the name suggests, the blood-spotted plum has blood-red spots on its branches, just like blood spots. If it bears fruit in the future, the same blood spots will appear on the fruit. It is easy to plant, easy to keep alive, and tastes good. As long as it is planted in a place with strong strange energy, it is easy to become semi-food. It is also a relatively rare seed.
The only drawback is that most of the seeds in the fruit cannot be planted, which is why blood-spot plum is rare.
Following He Qi's words, Ye Lu looked at the branches. It was already summer, and there were already plums hanging on the branches. They were green with a slight red at the bottom. It would probably be ripe soon.
Ye Lu could feel the strong mysterious power of this fruit at first sight.
Ye Lu quickly compared them several times in his mind. He had handled quite a few strange plants and had many examples for comparison. After a moment, Ye Lu said with certainty, "It should be a strange plant, for sure."
Ye Lu was sure that the aura emitted by this plum was nothing like that of the black tiger vine. If it was like the black tiger vine, it would most likely be a strange plant.
"That's great." He Qi had been looking at Ye Lu eagerly. He was overjoyed to hear the news. He almost jumped up and spoke.
He Si, who had been silent, showed a slight smile on his face.
This plum tree was planted by He Qi from beginning to end. No matter how it is divided, as long as the strange plant came from this orchard, He Qi will have at least half of the share, and he can even get more by bargaining.
Ye Lu was also happy for his uncle. Looking at his seventh uncle who still had the mentality of a child, the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
Ye Lu knew that He Qiyi was very dissatisfied with his talent. He always felt that his talent was much weaker than that of other people in the village. His combat power and support were average. The only advantage was that he had some understanding of Guizhi. However, he always liked Guizhi and did not show his inferiority to others. When He Village entered the Forbidden Stone Mountains, his role was slowly revealed.
As a result, He Qi gradually became more confident and devoted his whole heart and soul to the orchard, hoping to achieve some tangible results.
Now, is there anything that can better prove his talent than growing a strange plant?
Ye Lu wished that his uncle was as happy as possible. When he saw his seventh uncle's expression, he wanted to exchange resources from the caravan for his uncle to use in the forest. In fact, he really did that.
Fortunately, the final result is good.
Ye Lu raised his eyes and looked at the plum tree for a moment.
"You must have discovered it not long ago, right?" Ye Lu took one look at the plum tree and started finding fault with it. When he spoke at the end, his tone was still very affirmative.
"How do you know?" Uncle He Qi was happy when he heard what his nephew said.
"There are too many fruits." Ye Lu frowned as he looked at the fruits on the plum tree. It's true that even though the plum tree is not very tall, there are still quite a few fruits hanging in clusters. Ye Lu said helplessly, "The seeds of the strange plant are different from other fruits. They absorb a lot of strange power and nutrients."
"When you find the seeds of the strange plant, you should immediately thin out the flowers and fruits. It is best to leave only this one fruit on the whole tree. Fortunately, you found it in time, otherwise there would be so many fruits and this seed might not have matured." Ye Lu shared his own experience: "This tree might even have been killed by the fruits on the tree."
Ye Lu has full experience in cultivating and planting strange seeds.
Apart from anything else, there are several seeds on the mountain that Ye Lu had cultivated since they were seeds.
The black peach trees on the mountains only grow three or four flowers when they bloom. After they bear fruit, they pick the strongest ones and remove the others, so that the entire tree can only produce one fruit.
This plum tree only bears ordinary fruits.
He Qi understood and started picking the fruits from the tree without hesitation. Ye Lu saw this and came forward to help. In the end, only one small fruit was left on the whole tree.
Ye Lu stepped forward again, stretched out his hand, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and felt it for a moment.
Not long after, Ye Lu opened his eyes and said, "No, it's still a little weak. Please use some strange beads to replenish it later."
"Okay!" He Qi kept his nephew's words in mind with a serious face.
"It's not enough. I have more." Ye Lu said what he wanted to say a little slowly.
"You gave me a lot before. We also have some strange food at home. We also sell a lot every time the caravan comes. Apart from anything else, it's enough for a fruit tree." He Si also declined.
Ye Lu had no choice. It was a good thing that his uncles had principles, but as a nephew, it was also very distressing that he wanted to be filial but couldn't. In the eyes of his uncles, Ye Lu was still the pitiful little boy who couldn't eat enough because he had no magic beads.
"I really have to take action on this seed." Ye Lu touched his nose and told the news he had just seen. He had just talked with Qingsong in his spiritual consciousness to confirm that the news was true. Then he said: "If I am not mistaken, this seed should be of the Blood Grudge level."
Why did Ye Lu compare this fruit with the black tiger vine first?
Because this fruit feels as strong as the core of the black tiger vine.
"The requirements for Blood Grudge-level Ghost Pearls are very complicated." Ye Lu explained. It's not that he thought his uncles couldn't afford it, it's just that Blood Grudge-level seeds are very picky. If you want to get strong seeds so that future planting will be more efficient, you have to start from the time the seeds are grown.
"...Blood Grudge Level??!!" He Qi exclaimed in shock.
He Si also opened his eyes, revealing his drooping eyes for the first time.
"No, Lu Wazi, you really didn't see it wrong?!" He Qi's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it. There were no blood-grudge-level strange plant seeds in He Village until now, except for the ones on Chongshan Mountain.
Who could have thought!!
He congratulated Qi for having this day!
After looking at the fruit, He Si also looked at his nephew. Although he had no expression on his face, anyone who knew him could see the expectation in his eyes.
