Pastoral Daily Life

    Lu Lingxi had a dream, although he didn't remember most of the content after waking up, but he seemed to see Yan Yue in the dream.

    Thinking of Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi's face turned slightly red. He got up a little embarrassed and changed the big yellow duck underwear on his body, not daring to think about why Yan Yue appeared in this kind of dream. Before Wang Shuxiu got up, Lu Lingxi sneakily went to the bathroom to wash his underwear, and hung it in a place he thought was hidden, not wanting to be seen by Wang Shuxiu. He knew this was normal, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

    While he was doing this, Da Hei followed him quietly, looking at him with gentle eyes.

    Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed to be seen, squatted down and said to the big underworld: "This is another little secret of ours, and we can't tell others."

     Da Hei squinted and licked Lu Lingxi's chin, Lu Lingxi cocked the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.

    Because she had a dream about Yan Yue, and woke up to find her wet dream, Lu Lingxi seemed a little unnatural to see Yan Yue in Micro Gardening. Although he told himself that he couldn't remember most of the dream, remembering that Yan Yue might be impressed because he knew him the most, but standing in front of Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi still felt a little ashamed. He has never been very good at disguising his emotions, so that Yan Yue could see his abnormality at a glance.

    Yan Yue raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and Lu Lingxi's reaction made him itch. Some are guilty, and some are ashamed, as if they have done something bad. Although he didn't know what Lu Lingxi had in mind, a teenager like this would only make him want to bully him badly, or tease him.

    "Xiaoxi, is it time to water this pot of dianthus?"

    "Xiaoxi, I think this pot of green plants matches that flower pot better?"

    "Xiaoxi, what do you want for lunch?"

    "Xiaoxi..."

      It was just seven o'clock, and he couldn't wait to go home. But before he could clean up, Yan Yue stopped him and suggested that they go to the flower garden at night. The reason given by Yan Yue is very legitimate. Yu Xiaojuan's land lease contract has been signed, and the next step is to prepare for the construction of a greenhouse. Go to see the plan in advance, and ask Uncle Li what he meant by the way. Micro-horticulture's existing greenhouses are a bit rudimentary. Will it be upgraded together this time?

    Yan Yue's expression was serious, Lu Lingxi couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to speak to Wang Shuxiu reluctantly. Watching Yan Yue go to drive, he scratched Da Hei's chin absentmindedly, hesitating whether to pretend to sleep when he got into the car. He was originally a little unnatural in front of Yan Yue because of last night's dream, but Yan Yue is special today... What's special, Lu Lingxi couldn't find the right words to describe it. In short, he felt a little strange to Yan Yue, and wanted to be an ostrich. hide.

    Yan Yue drove the car over quickly, and Lu Lingxi was about to get in the car when he was stunned.

    Yan Yue saw his accident and explained: "The car was driven back to Zhongjing by Ye Kang, and he changed a car."

    His new car is still black, and the configuration is slightly worse than before. However, Lu Lingxi didn't pay much attention to this, Yan Yue kept paying attention to his expression, seeing that he didn't seem to care, his eyes slowly filled with a smile.

    Ye Kang will release the news that he plans to go abroad for recuperation when he returns to Beijing this time. When An Jie gets the house next to Xiaoxi's house, he will move out from the Yin family. At that time, with the help of Brother Ye, it would not be so easy for my father to find him. This time is enough for him to solve the most important thing in his life.

      But now that he was feeling guilty towards Yan Yue, his reaction became a little more sensitive. Against Yan Yue's scorching gaze, Lu Lingxi turned his head uneasily, and looked outside with the same "focus".

    Yan Yue smiled silently, retracted his gaze and put it on the road ahead. Without the pressure behind him, Lu Lingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When the two of them were halfway there, the wind started to blow outside the window, and the sky turned cloudy, as if it was going to rain. Yan Yue hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. He always felt that the accuracy of the weather forecast in China was outrageously low, but this time it was finally accurate.

    "It's going to rain."

    Lu Lingxi looked out the window with some worry. Since the last heavy rain, Fengcheng has not had rain for nearly half a month. During this time, the air in Fengcheng was very dirty, and the air was full of floating dust. He still remembered the pollution from the last rain, and he was a little worried that this time it would be the same as last time.

    Yan Yue misunderstood what he meant, and coaxed while driving: "There is a place to live over the flower garden, and there are also clothes to wash. Even if it rains, you don't need to worry."

    It's fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Lu Lingxi suddenly thought of the embarrassing situation he woke up this morning, what if he still had a dream at night? Lu Lingxi looked out the window shyly, only to feel that the tips of his ears were extremely hot.

    "Xiao Xi?"

    Lu Lingxi didn't dare to look back, and nodded randomly towards the window.

    At the red light, Yan Yue stopped the car, reached out and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

    Lu Lingxi shook his head embarrassedly, embarrassed to say that he was worried about having a spring dream at night and dreaming of Yan Yue. Yan Yue couldn't guess what he meant, but looking at the boy's shy look, his heart softened into a pool of water.

    When the two arrived at the flowerbed, it was already raining heavily outside. This road is very difficult to walk, the sky is dark and the road conditions are not good. Yan Yue was worried about the accident and drove very slowly all the way. He was actually a little regretful, he didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. The weather forecast said only moderate rain, which was clearly the rhythm of heavy rain. Originally, he just wanted to use the rain as an excuse to keep the boy on the side of the flowerbed, and the two stayed alone. But with such a heavy rain, he was more worried about the safety of the boy than anything else. Good luck all the way.

    From a distance, the two of them saw that something seemed to happen in the village. Many people gathered outside with flashlights, not knowing what to do.

    Yan Yue drove over, and Uncle Li saw hesitantly walking over with an umbrella. At this time, only Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi will come to the village.

    "Xiaoxi, stay in the car." Yan Yue instructed: "Let me go and see what's wrong?"

    Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

    Yan Yue got out of the car with an umbrella, Uncle Li was a little surprised, "Why is it raining so hard?"

    "It wasn't raining when I left." Yan Yue explained, "What happened ahead?"

    Uncle Li sighed: "The big willow tree at the entrance of the village was split by lightning, and the whole village was startled by a fire. The electricity also stopped, and not many people have gathered to see the situation."

    The big willow tree Yanyue said by Mr. Li had seen it before, and it grew not far from their small courtyard. It is said that the willow tree has been growing for nearly a hundred years, and the trunk of the tree looks thick with two adult men, and it is impossible to hold it back when one person closes it. When he and Lu Lingxi went to Uncle Li's house for dinner last time, he talked about this tree. The young man joked that if they had a nursery in the future, they would prune and cut from this old tree for propagation. I heard that people in the neighborhood do it this way. They say that the willow trees that are grown by this willow tree have luxuriant branches and leaves and are very healthy. I didn't expect to be struck by lightning this time.

    "It's a pity." Uncle Li shook his head.

    Because this willow tree is relatively old, some superstitious old ladies nearby call it the sacred tree in private. Uncle Li didn't say it, but he actually believed it in his heart. Generally speaking, the common trees in the countryside are nothing more than willow, elm, birch, etc. Among these trees, willow is usually the shortest living. But this willow tree is almost 100 years old, and Uncle Li also feels evil when he thinks about it.

    However, he was struck by lightning. Uncle Li muttered and changed the subject, "You and Xiaoxi haven't eaten yet? Come on, everything is ready at home."

    When Yan Yue came, he brought a lot of food in the car, but he didn't expect the power outage, which was a big problem. Even if you don't go to Uncle Li's house for dinner, you have to borrow a candle. Yan Yue thought about it and didn't refuse. However, he looked at the people gathered in front of him, and the car could not drive, so he could only walk with Lu Lingxi later. He nodded politely with Uncle Li, "Xiaoxi and I will park the car in the flowerbed first and then go over there."

    "Good."

    As soon as Uncle Li finished speaking, he saw the car window behind Yan Yue opened, Lu Lingxi and Da Hei huddled together and stuck their heads out, looking at the front curiously. "Uncle Li." Lu Lingxi called out affectionately, staring at the front in confusion, "What happened over there?"

    Uncle Li didn't have time to speak when he saw Yan Yue striding over with a dark face and an umbrella. While covering the umbrella over Lu Lingxi's head, he said with a stern face: "Didn't I let you stay in the car? What if I catch a cold in the rain?"

    Lu Lingxi waited in the car for a long time before Yan Yue came back, so she couldn't help opening the window to see what was going on outside. I didn't expect to be taught by Yan Yue as soon as the window was opened, and in front of Uncle Li, he immediately retracted his head a little embarrassed.

    Uncle Li laughed, feeling that Yan Yue was looking at the little doll too tightly. But thinking about how the little doll's skinny face will fall when the wind blows, it's really bad for her to catch a cold. He didn't say anything else, motioned him to go back and get them food first, and let Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi go there early, before it's too late.

    Yan Yue nodded, Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes at Uncle Li through the window, and retracted again.

    Put away the umbrella, Yan Yue got into the car, and before he could speak, Lu Lingxi first showed him a bright smile. Yan Yue had a smile in his eyes, but the expression on his face did not reveal the slightest hint. He reached out and touched Lu Lingxi's hair and felt relieved that it wasn't wet.

    Lu Lingxi looked at him obediently and whispered, "Brother Yan, you haven't said what happened before?"

    Yan Yue couldn't do anything about him, so he patiently said: "The big willow tree in the village was struck by lightning, and the villagers gathered around to watch the fun. Let's park the car in the flowerbed first, and go to Uncle Li later. dinner at home."

    Lu Lingxi heard that the willow tree was struck by lightning, and could not help but glance over there. Yan Yue knew what he was thinking, and coaxed, "I'll take you to see when we eat later."

    The corners of Lu Lingxi's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyebrows and eyes curled into a smile.

    The two parked the car in the flower garden, Yan Yue got out of the car first, holding an umbrella to pick up Lu Lingxi. There was a lot of mud on the ground in the village, Yan Yue opened the door, leaned down slightly, and said to Lu Lingxi, "It's hard to walk on the ground, I'll carry you."

    Lu Lingxi refused, and was a little shy, "I'm not a child."

    Yan Yue's eyes were gentle, and he put his hand in front of Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi held Yan Yue's hand obediently, the two held an umbrella together, Da Hei squeezed beside them, and walked towards Uncle Li's house.

    When passing by the big willow tree halfway, Lu Lingxi pulled Yanyue's arm and stopped.

    There are many villagers around, although the sky is dark and it is raining heavily, but under the light of a bunch of flashlights, you can still see the miserable appearance of the willow tree in the center of the crowd. This is the first time that Lu Lingxi has seen a tree struck by lightning. I saw that the trunk of the original thickness of the two people was split from top to bottom, and it was almost split in half. The charred heart of the tree was exposed in the trunk, and the wicker that had been lush and leafy was scattered and covered with rain and muddy water.

    Mental scans spread out, and the white panel indicates that the willow tree has lost its vitality.

     "The plant is dead, do you need a little power of nature to revive it?"

    Lu Lingxi didn't hesitate, secretly chose yes. Although he was a little reluctant to use the power of nature, he still wanted to save up to purify the flowerbed. But this willow tree has been growing for nearly a hundred years, and it is a pity to be chopped to death like this. He still remembered that Uncle Li said that this willow tree was the "ancestor" of many willow trees nearby, and he would feel uneasy if he did nothing.

    After choosing Yes, Lu Lingxi plans to leave. The force of nature can only rekindle the willow tree, and it depends on itself whether it can survive. This is different from the withered willow seedling last time. He can still help with watering. This old willow tree can only look at himself.

    Lu Lingxi chose to put away the white panel, but to his surprise, the white panel did not disappear and still floated in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw a new prompt appear at the bottom of the panel.

     "Discovering the homologous ancestral tree, does it share vitality?"

    As this prompt lights up, the willow tree in the center of the panel disappears, followed by an image of a light brown soil. Above the image, there are six green dots flashing. Five of the light spots have similar brightness and are clustered together. Not far from the five light spots, another light spot is obviously larger, but the color is dim, as if it may go out at any time.

    The first thing Lu Lingxi thought of was the five willow seedlings planted in the flowerbed. The last time they shared vitality, he was surprised. He didn't expect a similar reminder to appear today. Homologous ancestral tree? It seems that what Uncle Li said is really not a joke.

    Lu Lingxi came back to his senses and quickly chose yes. He was staring at the white panel, wanting to see what other reminders would be on it, Yan Yue took him in his arms and said, "It's time to go, Uncle Li is still waiting for us to eat."

    Lu Lingxi was worried that he would not be able to see the changes of this willow tree outside the scope of the mental scan, so he pulled Yan Yue's arm and whispered, "I'll take a look at it for a while"

    Yan Yue didn't quite understand what was so good about this dying willow tree, but when she met Lu Lingxi's expectant eyes, she nodded helplessly, and hugged Lu Lingxi's whole body in her arms. Lu Lingxi's attention was on the white panel, but he didn't realize how close he and Yan Yue were at this moment.

    A few minutes passed, the original dim green light spot gradually brightened, and the original bright five light spots gradually dimmed. Lu Lingxi frowned uneasy, the five small willow seedlings had too little vitality, in case... His thought just flashed, a green line extended from the light spot representing the old willow tree, and circled the original willow tree. The five light spots were strung together, and then circled back to the origin.

    When the six light spots were strung together to form a cycle, Lu Lingxi only felt a shock in his mind, the soil in the green circle seemed to be alive and slowly began to change, from the original light brown becomes translucent white.

    “The willow tree ecological community is formed, the soil purification is successful, and the reward of the heart of the plant is +500”

    Lu Lingxi was stunned by this change. He looked up at Yan Yue blankly, and whispered, "Brother Yan, pinch me to see if it's true?"

      Lu Lingxi didn't feel pain at all, but felt his heart pounding, a very strange feeling. He felt that the change in the panel must have made him weird, he smiled shyly, and looked down at the panel again.

    Waited a few more minutes and the panel never changed. Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, put away the panel, pulled Yan Yue and said, "Brother Yan, let's go eat."

    Yan Yue's eyes darkened, and in just a moment, he smelled the fragrance of grass and trees from the youth.

    Uncle Li has been waiting for them at home for a long time. I heard that Lu Lingxi stopped to look at the willow tree for a long time, and while laughing, he also lamented that the willow tree was a pity. Lu Lingxi held back and did not speak, thinking of giving Uncle Li a surprise tomorrow. After the two finished their meal, Uncle Li greeted them that it might be better to stay here. There is no electricity or water in the small courtyard, and it is not convenient for them to go back.

    Lu Lingxi was a little hesitant, and Yan Yue also felt it was not too convenient. The two insisted on going back, and Uncle Li took a bucket of water and asked them to take it back. Otherwise, the two of them couldn't even take a shower. All the way back to the courtyard with an umbrella, half of Yan Yue's body was wet. "I'm going to boil the water, sit down and don't run around without electricity."

    Lu Lingxi nodded obediently. It was the first time he encountered a power outage, and he felt a little strange. In addition to the inconvenience of the water cut, the others did not feel that it was affected. Yan Yue was boiling water outside, and Lu Lingxi sat bored on the edge of the kang, shaking his legs to tease Da Hei who was squatting on the ground.

     "Da Hei, you can't sleep on the kang today, you can only sleep on the ground."

    Big Black let out a low whimper.

    Lu Lingxi couldn't bear it, but Da Hei just ran around in the rain and it was so dirty. In total, they brought back a bucket of water from Uncle Li's house, which was definitely not enough to bathe Da Hei. "Go back and eat two chicken legs to make up for it, okay?"

    Lu Lingxi: "...you want to eat three?"

     Da Hei narrowed his eyes and let out a low cry.

    Lu Lingxi remembered Brother Dong's evaluation of Da Hei, and some believed that Da Hei was really mature.

    One person and one dog are haggling for a few chicken legs. Yan Yue has already boiled the water and beckoned Lu Lingxi to wash his face. Lu Lingxi obediently went to wash his face and feet, but found a big problem. The sneakers he was wearing today were already soaking wet, and now how should he go back to the house after washing his feet. In the small courtyard, there is only a pair of slippers that I brought last time, and now they are on Big Brother Yan's feet.

    Lu Lingxi bent his knees and sat on the chair with some embarrassment, thinking about this issue seriously. Why don't you let Big Brother Yan go to the kang first, and then call Da Hei to bring his slippers over?

    Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi's tangled look with a faint smile on his mouth. He had to admit that he did it on purpose. Deliberately not reminding the teenager, deliberately left only a pair of slippers last time. He walked over slowly, pretending to be surprised, "What's wrong?"

    Lu Lingxi said obediently, "The shoes are dirty."

    Yan Yue suppressed the impulse in his heart and said casually, "I'll take you back."

    Lu Lingxi was about to make a proposal for Da Hei to come over, when she suddenly heard Yan Yue's words, she was stunned.

    Yan Yue did not give Lu Lingxi a chance to refuse, and leaned down with a strong attitude and carefully hugged the boy in his arms. He found this feeling very good. The boy's body was soft and full of a faint fragrance of grass and trees. The moment he held it in his arms, he almost felt like he was holding up the whole world.

    Yan Yue tightened his arms, pressed against Lu Lingxi's auricle and whispered, "Hold me tight."

    Lu Lingxi's ears turned red.

    There is no electricity in the house, but a candle is lit inside and outside the house, and the dim halo does not illuminate much of the place. But even so, Yan Yue could clearly see that Lu Lingxi's fair earlobes were slowly smudged with a blush. His mind went blank for a moment, and before he realized his reason, Yan Yue had uncontrollably pressed it down and gently kissed the boy's ear.
