When the convoy arrived outside the defense fence, the fat man roared. When the guard in charge saw Yue Xi and others coming, he quickly lowered the suspension bridge and allowed the large group to enter the outer courtyard. The green barrier tree was immediately placed and prepared for
On a good open space, in order to ensure the smooth planting of the enchantment tree, Yuexi almost forced her to bring in a gardener with experience in planting enchantment trees. Under his guidance, the glass of the enchantment tree was carefully removed.
Cover, the saplings are gently lifted and put into the dug tree pit. A layer of soil is applied and special tree fertilizer is applied and watered. Then a layer is applied and tree fertilizer is applied and watered. This is repeated several times, and the tree pit is gradually filled.
It was full, maybe because the glass cover was removed, the tree-shaped azaleas on Yuexi were a little blurry, and the leaves were no longer as green as before, and a lot of leaves fell on the ground. It made Yuexi feel distressed to see them.
.
Seeing Yue Xi's sad face, the gardener hurriedly explained: "Doctor Liu, don't worry, it is normal for the saplings to lose some leaves now. As long as they are properly maintained, they will return to their original state in a few days. I can guarantee this. No.
Problem, you don’t have to worry.”
After hearing this, Yuexi nodded with relief. The gardener gathered the fallen leaves and spread them on the top of the tree pit. Finally, he applied a thin layer of soil, patted it firmly, and then said: "Okay, your boundary tree is considered
It has been officially planted. The next step is to water it and scatter the star beads and watch it grow up quickly. Don’t underestimate this little guy. As long as the star beads are spread properly and properly, it will grow very fast. It will grow up in less than a month.
It can be nearly 20 meters high. After the first thunder in Shuizeji, we have withstood the second thunder, and we are done. I estimated the time, and it happened to be that we arrived neither early nor late. It was a good time.
It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Yuexi bowed deeply to the gardener and said sincerely: "My brother was very offensive to the old man before. We have no ill intentions towards the old man. It's just that we don't know how to plant boundary trees, so we have to go out."
This is my last resort and I have forced the old gentleman to come to this lonely place. Please forgive me for any offence. In the next period of time, I hope that the old gentleman and my son will take good care of this enchantment tree. The environment here is terrible.
, I will send someone to give you a green agent every day to alleviate the pain of high gravity reaction in the dark world. When the barrier tree survives the catastrophe, I will definitely give the old man a big red envelope as a gift when he returns to Wangjing."
Yuexi was so humble. How could the old gardener bear it? He quickly and respectfully replied: "No way, Doctor Liu. I'm just a little gardener. I only do simple labor work. I don't deserve such kindness from you. I will do my best."
Take care of the barrier trees. As for the green agent, we gardeners all have a hard life. We can still endure the hardships in the dark world. I have been planting barrier trees all my life. There has never been an adult like you.
It's such an honor to have treated someone like me so politely. Please rest assured, there will be no problem."
Yuexi thanked the old gardener again and again, and told Liuzi not to worry about the stars and beads, and to respect the old gardener in everything. She didn't leave until Liuzi was tired of talking about it, and then left to do other things.
As the largest fortress town in the southern province after Wangjing, Feicui Town actually shoulders the important responsibility of protecting the southern border of the Republic. With Feicui Town as the core, there are more than a dozen fortresses and towns of various sizes and stretches for more than 200 kilometers.
Supply base, this area is called the Ten Towns area, or Ten Towns for short, and the southernmost fortress town has a very nice name, Hongye. Hongye Town only has a smaller vine-shaped barrier tree suitable for military purposes.
.
Except for the fortress area here, the barrier tree's ability to protect the surrounding environment is very limited. The harsh living environment here is extremely inconsistent with its beautiful name, but it does not prevent the wealthy and adventurers from coming here to have fun.
Looking for business opportunities, due to the remote location, no one is willing to take the initiative to live here. In order to maintain the local population base and appropriate prosperity, the government allows some activities and sales that are strictly restricted or even prohibited in other areas to operate legally here.
It is a place of sin, a place of freedom, a paradise for the rich, and a hell for the weak. Moreover, it is also the place of exile for criminal prisoners of the former Rosseau Empire, and many wealthy people are targeting these nobles in trouble.
Come.
Not far from Hongye Fortress is the most prosperous part of the town. It is full of various large hotels, luxury casinos, fighting arenas and spa clubs. People are feasting and feasting, but the slums across the street are a different scene.
, there are clusters of bungalows with iron and wood frames, piles of garbage everywhere, the ditches are full of filthy water, rats are crawling unscrupulously on the edges of the ditches, a few old people in ragged clothes are begging on the roadside, and from time to time in the alleys.
A few dirty children were playing and playing. Their eyes were so bright and energetic. If you were willing to come closer, they would smile innocently at you, but their innocent eyes would definitely
Just staring at your pocket.
On the edge of the slum is a large wasteland. A little girl with long black hair is squatting on the ground looking for edible wild vegetables with a basket. She is wearing a yellowed white dress, the edges of which are very frayed.
, but these external objects cannot conceal her beauty. Her high forehead, big eyes, and slender neck accentuate her delicate and charming pointed chin. She searched carefully. Most of the wild animals growing in this wasteland are suitable for poultry.
Among the edible pigs and especially unpalatable gray vegetables, the little girl suddenly found a few clusters of mature wild oats and a lot of dandelions with joy. She carefully picked the seeds of the wild oats, but her pale hands were still covered with weeds.
The little girl was scratched by the thin thorns. She endured the slightest pain and quickly collected the dandelion rhizomes. The whole wind blew the dandelion seeds like white parachutes floating into the distance. The girl turned her head, one boy and one boy.
The woman is standing in front of her.
"Brother Dix, sister Nanhua, you are all back." The little girl rushed forward excitedly and hugged Dix tightly.
Dix showed rare tenderness and held up the little girl with his hands, "Yes, my little Minnie has grown taller again."
The little girl was lifted up in Dix's arms and spun in the wind, giggling. Dix also laughed, but immediately his face returned to a stern expression. He gently put the little girl down and took it out of his backpack.
A pair of very ordinary brown women's shoes, he squatted down, picked up the girl's scarred feet, and put the shoes on for her gently.
"Take a walk and see if it suits you."
"Yes." Meni obeyed and tried to take a few steps, then turned around happily.
"Menie, is grandma at home?" Dix asked.
"Well, I was just about to go back. I found a lot of dandelions today and they taste very good when fried." Meni replied.
Just then, a hunchbacked man wearing an old blue trousers came over.
Meni greeted loudly: "Brother Li Liu, look
Who is back?"
The hunchbacked man wrapped his hands in his wide sleeves and said very politely: "It's such a rare visitor. Even Miss Nanhua is back. Meni, go back quickly and let your grandma dress you up. There are guests at the Sands Hotel tonight.
A big customer has asked a noble lady to perform, and Headmaster Tang has recommended you. A car will pick you up soon. You must be polite when meeting Headmaster Tang."
"Well, I remember, brother. I know what to do when I see Foreman Tang. I will work hard. I'm leaving now. Brother Dix and sister Nanhua, see you when you come back." Meni waved to Dix.
He waved and ran back quickly with the basket in hand.
Dix was unusually silent, and Nan Hua didn't dare to speak. The hunchbacked man came up and asked respectfully: "Dix, you haven't been back for a long time, do you want to go see grandma?"
With a bang, the hunchbacked man was thrown to the ground by Dix with his free back. The hunchbacked man stood up with difficulty and patted the dust on his body. He patted very carefully and slowly, as if his clothes were neat and clean.
Far more important than his body, in the end, he wiped the mud from the corners of his mouth, hunched his back, and said with a smile: "It seems you don't want to go back today."
"Yes." Dix threw a money bag into his hand and left without looking back. Nan Hua hurriedly followed.
The hunchbacked man didn't care. He weighed the bag and said to himself: "Well, it seems that I can improve the food for Meni and the others for half a month."
At a small hotel in Hongye, Nan Hua felt a little pained and glared at the man in front of her fiercely, but did not stop him. Dix's indifferent look made her a little unhappy.
Suddenly the man said for no reason: "She should have stayed in the beautiful courtyard, sitting on the white swing chair, letting the maids push her, carefree."
These words touched Nan Hua very much, and he asked tentatively: "Can't you think of a way? After all, I am your cousin."
"There's no way. There are dozens of people like this who are even close to me. Let's go to the arena. We're going to have a big fight today."
Over at Hongyun Enclave, several of our brothers were naked, soaking in the bath that the fat man blew so mysteriously. The water in the pool was so hot, but everyone's faces were as screwed up as bitter gourds. Ajie
The first one couldn't help it and yelled: "Damn fat man, is this the hot spring bath you said you enjoyed so much? It can also be called a bath, can it be washed cleanly?" He said angrily and scooped up a handful with his hands.
The turbid water poured over the fat man. It turned out that the pond made of gravel by the fat man was too crude. Not to mention the gravel at the bottom of the pond, as long as you shook it a little, the hot water would dissolve the mud in the stone crevices.
Bring some out. No, five or six rough men jumped into the pool without paying attention. A puddle of clean hot water soon turned into a mud bath.
The fat man knew that he was in trouble, so he apologized to his brother and promised that he would invite everyone to see the most magnificent wonders of the dark world tomorrow morning. Everyone scolded the fat man for his unreliability and wiped their bodies with water from the bucket.
There was the smell of barbecue in the air. It turned out that in order to entertain Yue Xi and others, the cook at the camp made the meat of the recently killed monster beasts into a barbecue feast. After everyone buried the fat man, they put on clean clothes and burned them comfortably.
bonfire, eating barbecue, reminiscing about the passionate years of the past.
