Chapter 455: The Guardian Dragon Awakens
Farmers who are agriculture-oriented are basically able to work all year round. In the second half of the first month, people farming in the countryside start pear fields and land preparation. By early February, they will sow early rice and cultivate sweet potato seedlings. , planting corn, etc.
Brother Zhou got busy in the second half of the first month, soaking all the fields with water, transporting fertilizers to the fields, and plowing the farmland. He used machines to plow the fields, which was not very tiring. If he didn't have to carry household fertilizer, he could plow it all in one day. After the first pass of plowing, the field is soaked in water, and when it is about to be transplanted, it can be plowed again before planting.
Brother Zhou leaves early and comes back late, working quietly. Aunt Zhou doesn't know what her man is doing. She doesn't have to work anyway, so she is happy not to ask.
By the beginning of February, Brother Zhou had sown the grain seeds. He used the Lejia's big field as a rice field as he had done before, sowing his own grain seeds and the grain seeds that the Lejia needed to sow together. .
Grain seeds were sown, and the land was prepared. When the weather was good, sweet potato seedlings could be grown, and corn seeds could be planted.
Sister-in-law Zhou went to the fields one day after Brother Zhou sowed the rice seeds. She passed by the field where her family was planting rice seedlings and found it empty. She asked Brother Zhou where they had sown the rice seeds and found out that the Zhou family was sowing rice seedlings with the Le family again. She knew it was Brother Zhou. In order to let his sister and brother-in-law rest in peace, he helped scatter the Le family's grain seeds. He was angry but couldn't get angry. If she dared to make irresponsible remarks, the villagers would say that she was a petty person.
After the beginning of spring, cold air has moved south one after another. The temperature in the south has remained low and it has been rainy in many areas, with no sign of warming up.
The north of E is also experiencing rain or cold weather, and the weather has never been good. Therefore, sweet potato seeds have been delayed in planting, and people are looking forward to better weather.
In the north, the weather slowly picks up after the beginning of spring. At the beginning of February, jasmine, kapok, apricots, peaches, and plums all have a tendency to bloom, and the weather is also cloudy and sunny, reaching a balance.
The temperature in the capital has also warmed up, and people are vaguely eager to enjoy the spring scenery.
Students from various colleges and universities in the capital have entered the second week after the start of school, and they have basically changed from a leisurely state during the holidays to a vigorous state.
At the beginning of the school year, the president of the beautiful boy was very busy. In addition to the study plan he drew up every day, there were also matters related to the student union, the Youth League branch and the National Defense Students branch, so he didn't have much time to breathe.
No matter how busy he is, he still finds time to help his cute little loli sister, who is happily wandering off into the mountains, follow her delivery progress.
In the first week of school, because students had just returned to school, some packages before the Chinese New Year were backlogged, and the courier staff were overwhelmed. In the first week, the beautiful young man did not receive the courier notification, and he only started receiving notifications at the weekend. He simply Ask the staff at the express delivery station to keep it and pick it up together when you have more money.
When it came to the second week, the express delivery came one after another, and the beautiful boy was embarrassed. At noon on Thursday, he invited friends and brought a group of friends to help pick up the express delivery.
Young Master Li, Minister of Talents, Classmate Chen, and the three handsome students from the beautiful boy's dormitory happily went there, formed a moving team, and drove three cars.
When the semester started, classmate Chen Shuyuan was busy moving to Xiedong University and often disappeared. Now he is waiting for the graduates of Xiedong University to move out of the dormitory, so he moved to Xiedong University. Now he spends less and less time at Qingdao University. At school, I heard that I was going to help little Loli pick up the express delivery, so he volunteered to be a hard worker.
The seven top students have handsome appearance and natural noble temperament. When they arrive at the express delivery station, they instantly become the center of attention, causing the girls who are picking up the express delivery to blush and feel their hearts beat. They wish they had more eyes to appreciate the handsome men.
The boys were disgusted, but they were also reassured that those top students had no intention of finding girlfriends and would not compete with them for girls, so they were not love rivals.
The boys and girls recognized the beautiful young President Chao, and they were particularly humble and allowed President Chao and several top students from the student union to pick up the express delivery first.
The beautiful boy thanked her kindly, accepted the kindness, took out a printed list of express delivery numbers and the notification received on his mobile phone, and showed the staff to look for the package.
Looking at the list, the people at the express delivery workstation were stunned. There were at least twenty packages in the long list!
"President Chao, how many express packages are there in total?" The staff almost all recognized President Chao and asked casually, wiping their cold sweat.
"Including the backlog from the past year, there are thirty-six copies in total." The beautiful young man smiled softly.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my god!"
"The top students are different, even the express delivery is so fierce." Classmate
Chao reported the number, and there were exclamations everywhere, and Young Master Li and others became stunned for a second. Face, after two seconds, Mr. Li pressed the young man's shoulder: "Xiao Chao, Mr. Chao, when did you become a shopping madman? Thirty-six express delivery, do you want to book the express station? ?"
"Da Li, you are a gentleman and a handsome man, how can you be so polite when you shout and scream?" Chao Yubo slapped the paws on his shoulders away, straightened his windbreaker, and explained as elegantly as a lotus: "This is not my package, it is all mine. Nine of my sister's express deliveries are Spring Festival gifts from abroad, and some others are from my sister's home or other provinces. If you continue to be so fussy, don't even think about taking the medicinal food." "Well, I'm not fussy, I'm obviously so
. Be polite and courteous." Li Yubo transformed into a handsome young man in a second, with an intoxicating smile on his face: "Xiao Chao, there is something delicious in little Loli's express delivery, right?" "Go, Da Li,
you Go aside." The talented man and classmate Deng pulled Young Master Li away unceremoniously. Young Master Li must have had wind in his head, so he asked questions knowingly.
Being pulled apart, Mr. Li didn't mind. He smiled brightly and said, "Wow, after waiting for so many days, I finally have something to eat."
When classmate Chao revealed that there was food, classmate Chen and other top students were looking forward to it, waiting for the staff to look for the package. Their eyes were eager. When they saw the courier guy holding out a box, people immediately rushed to grab it. Go up and take over.
The staff was also so shocked by the number of express orders reported by Chairman Chao that their hearts trembled. They silently looked for the courier, because they had accumulated many copies, some of which were placed in a pile, so they were easier to find. The courier had Chao The president’s name also has Le Yun’s name.
They took out the express delivery, and Young Master Li and others went to pick it up. They asked the beautiful boy to check the orders and tick the corresponding list after receiving each one to avoid missing any one.
After picking up seven or eight couriers, the workers carried out or carried out square racks made of wooden strips and packages packed in suitcases, all of which were quite heavy.
The top students helped load the car. Occasionally they took the time to look at the express delivery list and found that the large packages were all from Ynan Province. They knew that the little loli had gone to Ynan Province. They all understood it tacitly, but no one knew. Yell.
The express delivery was delivered one by one, large and small, exquisitely packaged, boxed, and cartoned, so that the three cars of the top students were stuffed with items. When all thirty-six packages were collected, The top students were so tired that they were sweating. Looking at the bags that almost took up their seats, they all complained in their hearts. What did the little loli buy in the dirt?
After picking up all the couriers, the beautiful young man expressed his deep gratitude to the staff, put away the pages, and walked back to his car with great dignity. He took his friends and drove the couriers back to the dormitory, leaving a pile of things to return. But the men and women who came from Shen'er looked at each other.
Back at Xueba Building, the seven handsome and beautiful young people got off the bus and moved their things up to the fourth floor. After moving three times, they were so tired that their backs ached and they were out of breath.
"Okay, let's put the rest away for now and move them when we come back in the evening. Let's go back to the dormitory for dinner." Seeing that his friends were almost exhausted and didn't even cry out, the beautiful boy smiled and took them out of his car. Two cardboard boxes: "Come and help, this is delicious."
"Ouch-" The six exhausted students rushed over to move the boxes, only the fastest Classmates He Xinze and Chen grabbed it and ran away holding the box.
The top students who had not grabbed the medicinal food box sighed, locked their cars, and went straight to the beautiful boy's dormitory. A group of friends swarmed into the dormitory, closed the door, washed the pot, added water, connected the power, opened the box, and took out the pancakes. To heat up rolls, dumplings, and buns, tear open a bag of homemade barbecue, turn on the induction cooker, and put it on top to heat.
The top students ate while heating it up. The homemade barbecue made by Little Loli was fragrant, spicy, and had a unique taste. It was extremely enjoyable to eat.
When the dumplings, pancakes and buns came out of the pan, the top students turned into wolves and ferociously grabbed the food. When they were full, they wiped their mouths and praised the pretty boy and the little lolita before rushing to clear the tableware.
In a beautiful mood and full of energy, a group of friends rested for a while and then ran to carry the express upstairs. They were stunned to transport all the bags to the little loli dormitory on the fourth floor. Then the handsome top students patted their butts and took a shower happily. , go to class happily and peacefully.
While the beautiful boy and his friends were helping to pick up the express delivery, Le Xiaoxiao was still on the way to Gaoligong. She and Yan Shao set off on the 2nd, climbed over a mountain, found the road to the village, and called a car to deliver it. Head to the main area of Gaoligong.
They found county-level land for supplies on the way, bought a new tent, brought enough dry food and reserve food, and arrived near a mountain entrance in the reserve in the evening. They chose a residential accommodation and went through the formalities on the 3rd. protected area.
In order to protect the environment in Gaoligong from damage, a natural ecological reserve has been designated. Foreign tourists must go through the pass procedures before entering the reserve. They can climb mountains, sightsee, and hike through, but they are not allowed to hunt or engage in commercial activities. Wait, even scientific researchers need to go through relevant procedures before entering.
Even if Young Master Yan changes his face and puts on a full show, he still has the corresponding documents. It is easy to enter the protected area with military documents.
After completing the permit procedures for free passage in the protected area, cool young master Yan accompanied the little Loli into the Gaoligong Mountains in the protected area as a tourist. The route the little girl chose was the Dulong River, the main mountain range of Gaoligong. That mountain range.
Entering the protected mountain area, Mr. Le Xiao and Young Master Yan first walked, and then entered the west side of the large mountain range to the west of the Dulong River, heading from south to north.
The three-dimensional climate in Gaoligong in March is obvious, with cold mornings and evenings and warm days. The characteristics of subtropical and temperate tropical temperatures are also obvious. Spring is in full bloom in many places, and many kinds of plants are blooming to welcome spring.
Entering the mountain range, Le Yun dug up medicinal materials when she didn't see them. She was busy looking for rare varieties to use as seedlings. She only dug some of the medicinal materials that were rare and needed in other places. Every time she encountered flowers, she dug them again and again. If it doesn’t fall, you have to pick some.
I walked and walked in the mountains, traveling day and night. I searched for seven days without finding the target. I climbed from the west side of the mountain over the back of the mountain ridge to the east side of the ridge, which is the west bank of the river. I searched for five days in the vast woods. When nearly half of the food was eaten and she was considering going out to replenish the food before changing routes, Le Yun finally found the goal she was looking for - Dragon Soul Grass.
Dragon Soul Grass is not the kind of grass mentioned in novels, but it is also a very ancient medicinal herb. Legend has it that it is a medicine that grows in places where the dragon tribe lives all year round. It is said that it is formed by the shedding of the scales of the divine dragon. Each grass has There is a dragon hidden behind the leaves.
In order not to waste time, Leyun spent a lot of time letting Yan Handsome take things and follow the designated route, while she ran all over the mountains. Then she would meet up with Yan Handsome at the predetermined place, or when she had collected a certain amount of medicinal materials. She asked Handsome Yan to stay and watch the cooking while she looked for medicine, so he and Handsome Yan often acted separately.
I dug some medicinal materials two days ago, and yesterday I found a suitable place to brew the medicine and set up camp. That day I crossed the river alone and tried my luck on the east bank of the river.
The place where the Dragon Soul Grass grows is at the bottom of a cliff and on the edge of a step on the cliff. The terrain there is also very particular. There are stone slabs where the stone wall meets the ground, so trees cannot grow. Therefore, the trees are three or four meters away from the cliff. Meters away, the branches of trees stretched diagonally, almost touching the stone wall.
There is a wide step about one meter high from the ground on the cliff, which is about six or seven meters long and three or two meters wide. It faces the east. When the sun rises, it can shine on the stone wall above.
On the left hand side where the stone steps connect with the mountain, there is a flat cave about one and a half meters high and more than one meter wide. It opens like a big mouth, with a thin stream of clear water gurgling out from the stone slabs in the cave. , flowing along the slightly sloping stone steps, a ditch broke out under the stone wall, and disappeared into the woods.
There are some moss growing around the cave. Dragon Soul Grass grows on the left side of the cave about one meter away from the stone steps. The grass is very inconspicuous, about ten centimeters high. Its appearance is the same as that of ordinary thatch, except that the leaves are shorter. It is green, and there is only moss within about half a meter around the place where it grows, which also highlights its isolation from the world.
As long as the stems of Dragon Soul Grass are not damaged, it will only have a unique smell when it blooms. Without the smell, it is really difficult to find it.
She was able to find the place because she smelled a faint unique aroma nearby and searched for it. Then her hard work paid off and she finally found it.
Seeing it, Le Yun wanted to cry. She almost broke her legs trying to find it! Take a breath, jump on the stone platform, step on the smooth stone surface and run to the cave to admire the grass.
Probably a small animal passed by and twisted one of the leaves of the Dragon Soul Grass. Because of this, a faint smell escaped.
There are only nineteen leaves in the grass, including the most tender leaves. There is a small flower-like fruit at the top, which is in the shape of steamed glutinous rice.
It takes sixty years for Dragon Soul Grass to grow into a leaf, and it takes more than three hundred years to bloom. It takes ninety-nine years to produce a flower, which blooms for a hundred years. The flowers bloom in the morning and fall in the evening, and then bear fruit in one year.
The grass has nineteen leaves, which proves that it is more than 1,100 years old.
Seeing the small fruit on the top of Dragon Soul Grass, Le Yun sighed in pain. She missed its flowering period!
The fruit of Dragon Soul Grass is white at first. It turns yellow in the second month, red in three months, blue in four months, purple in five months, black in six months, green in seven months and green in eight months. It changes color, turning orange in nine months, gold in ten months, green in eleven months, white again in twelve months, transparent when mature, and glutinous beige when it is about to mature.
The flower of Dragon Soul Grass is a good detoxifier, and its fruit has different effects according to its color. Green, white, purple, gold, and transparent colors are detoxifiers, while other colors are poisons.
Based on the color of the fruit, it is estimated that its flowering period should be the day of the Flower Festival last year, which is almost a year old now. Counting the days with fingers, it should be the 18th day of the second lunar month, which means there will only be two days until the fruit of the grass will grow for a full year.
Le Yun's depressed mood instantly improved. When the fruit matures, she picks it and mixes it with various medicinal materials that can be found. It can resolve half of Handsome Yan's poison. If it is the flowers of Xiaocao, plus the flowers of the dragon blood tree in her space. If the flowers are used as medicine, ordinary poisons in handsome men can be cured in one go.
It's a pity, just what if, the dragon blood tree in the space is too old, the flowering period is only once every thousand years, and it has not yet reached the flowering period.
Of course, the first time you pick the fruit is not to use it as medicine, but to use it as a seed for trial planting to see if it can be planted. If you can plant it, that would be great. If you can't plant it, you can only pick the grass leaves and give them to Handsome Yan. Dispensing medicine, as for the grass, of course it cannot be dug.
All elixirs always have their own special preferences. Some species cannot live or reproduce apart from their original place of growth. The seeds cannot survive when planted in space, which means that even if the grass is dug up and planted, it will not be able to reproduce. Therefore, in order not to Causing extinction can only leave it alone in the same place.
After watching for a while, Leyun put on her gloves and gently picked up a blade of grass to look at the veins on the back. The veins on the back of the blade were like a winding dragon. The dragon's head was at the tip of the leaf, and its tail was the stem of the petiole.
After checking the leaves, I took out the flashlight, lay down on the stone slab and looked into the cave. It stands to reason that any elixir must have a guardian, and the guardian of the Dragon Soul Grass is a small dragon, that is, a snake.
She smelled the smell of snakes. The little dragon guarding her probably lived in the cave. He was probably hibernating or dormant, so she didn't know that there was an uninvited guest coming.
Classmate Le Xiao was not prepared to fight with the snake guarding the grass. If it was awake and wanted to have a friendly chat with it, reason with it, and let it share a piece of fruit for itself, of course she would not give it for free and would give it a few pills. You can exchange it for meatballs, or exchange it for a stone in the space.
If she had to fight to get the dragon soul grass leaves or fruits, then she would have to follow the rules of the biological world where the strong is king and fight with the guardian dragon. Whoever wins gets the fruits.
She was shining a flashlight when she suddenly heard a splash of water and vaguely saw two green lights. She immediately jumped up, oh my god, the guardian dragon is awake!
