Chapter Forty-Six: Old Trees, New Branches



Now that the sheep are settled, Wen Xu puts his heart back into his belly. As for whether there is much, Wen Xu just wants to care, and now is not the time to care. Wen Xu himself has no ability to climb this cliff to count sheep! So after roaring at the flock twice, Shi Shi ran back.

It was when Wen Xu passed through the hill and was about to go home that he remembered that there was still one thing he hadn't done on his side. The big hogweed had to be dealt with, and besides, all the things had been released now, and the quantity was huge enough , just relying on these weeds and wood on the hill to feed so many pigs, sheep, chickens, etc., it can last for a month. If the days go on for a long time, this hill will have to be bald !

Thinking of this, Wen Xu turned his head to the top of the hill, climbed for more than half an hour, and when he reached the top of the hill, Wen Xu entered his own space, picked up a piece of turf, and threw it together to the outside. During this period of time, Wen Xu has realized how powerful this space grass is, and if it is infected, it is not called growing, it is called going crazy! Up to now, Wen Xu has not found a way to grow new vegetables.

The soil shoveled out of the space was smashed, and the grass and mud covered the ground of about one square meter, and Wen Nu scooped up a large spoonful of water from the cauldron and poured it directly on the place of more than one square meter. It took three spoonfuls of water in and out to thoroughly water the area of ​​more than one square meter.

Wen Xu put the water scoop back into the space, and waited to observe the growth of the grass in this square area. As expected, within this square, the grass was watered by the space water, and it immediately seemed to be watered. Like a tall wheat seedling, it grew to the height of Wen Xu's calf after a while, and the grass stopped growing up when it reached such a height, and began to 'spread' around, and the eye-to-eye effort was already 'dyed' 'Green about four or five times the area.

The space grass spreads around like a 'plague'. After these guys grow luxuriantly, not to mention the giant hogweed, even some deep-rooted shrubs begin to wither, and they walk quickly to a growing plant. Next to the thick big hogweed, shine a strong flashlight on it, and prepare to carefully observe how such a nasty thing was killed by the space grass.

Watching the space grass seedlings slowly poke their heads out from the ground, these grass seedlings have just been attached to the plants of the hogweed, the stems of these hogweeds have begun to turn color, and some leaves have yellow spots , as the grass seedlings grow over the feet, the leaves of the giant hogweed begin to wither. When the grass grows over this area, the giant hogweed is not completely dead, but it seems that it will not live long!

Wen Xu was very upset that he didn't die completely, so he went directly into the space again, scooped up a dozen ladles of water fiercely with a water ladle, and watered each place about a hundred steps apart until he saw the big pig nearby. The grass stem was folded by hand, and the big hogweed stem that had lost the moisture of the plant made a crisp sound and snapped. Only then was Wen Xu satisfied and put the ladle back into the space, and clapped his hands towards it. Catch up with my old house.

Back at the old house, it was early morning, and the whole village was plunged into darkness. Occasionally, a few clever dogs could be heard barking a few times.

I opened the courtyard door, entered the house and turned on the electric light. Even though the light was not bright enough, and it flickered because of the unstable voltage, but because the house was re-plastered with lime, the house was still brighter than before. I don't know how many times.

The furniture and everything in the house were also reorganized, paint what should be painted, and replace wood parts that should be replaced. After Wen Xu threw out nearly 40,000 yuan, the whole old house almost seemed to be reborn. .

The biggest change comes from the sanitation system. Wen Xu is a person who is used to enjoying it. He used to suffer from the old-fashioned hut, but now he can’t bear the smell. Let alone going to the toilet, he even goes to the old hut Standing on the side, smelling the smell of retting manure can also throw up. Place

It can be said that the biggest change in the old house comes from the bathroom. In order to provide toilets, washbasins and large bathtubs, a set of oil-fired boilers was added, and a well was dug to make a hidden water tank.

Of course, the most important thing is to build a modern septic tank ten meters behind the house.

Because this matter was often discussed by people in the village, and some people still said that Wen Xu was a fastidious person behind his back, but Wen Xu just laughed when he heard it.

Wen Xu believes that with the subtle changes on his side, the villagers will definitely think about changing their life and hygiene habits after they have better incomes, and what I am doing now is to tell them: Although in the countryside , but life can still live like this!

Wen Xu glanced at her masterpiece, and was about to turn around and close the door to sleep when she saw the old jujube tree pole in the courtyard, black and sticky in the night, looking very lonely and vicissitudes of life.

Staring at the old jujube tree in the courtyard, he walked to the courtyard after looking at it for a while, raised his hand and gently touched the trunk, feeling the roughness from the bark.

The old jujube tree has not seen sprouts this year. People in the village said that the old jujube tree may be dead. Wen Xu was busy here and didn't pay attention to this matter for a while. Now he saw the jagged branches, the old jujube tree Only then did the old figure remember this.

You are going to die. I have no other choice but to find someone to dig you up. If you are not dead, I will pour some water on you. I hope it will work for you. No matter what, I hope you can Alive Wen Xu said as he patted the trunk of the old jujube tree, then went into the space, scooped up a ladle of water, and poured it around the roots of the old jujube tree. It might be helpful to water a little more, but I felt that one scoop was not enough, so I scooped up half a scoop and poured it a little outside the root of the tree.

After watering the old jujube tree, Wen Xu returned to the house, boiled water, took a nice bath, climbed into bed and embraced the quilt, and fell asleep in a short while.

Sleeping in a daze, Wen Xu heard someone calling his name loudly, he was really sleepy, so Wen Xu covered his ears and prepared to continue to sleep, who knew that the sound outside was getting louder and louder, Wen Xu had to sit up on the bed up.

Who the hell is this? It's so early in the morning! Wen Xu is in a very bad mood right now after getting up, the first thing she does when she sits on the bed is cursing, probably if there is someone standing next to her who can't stop talking, Wen Xu immediately directs cut people.

Sitting on the bed and muttering a few words to himself, Wen Xu opened his hazy eyes and looked around. Through the gap in the curtains, Wen Xu saw that the sky outside was bright, but he didn't know it was because of the cloudy sky Or something, no sign of the sun coming out.

There was still a lot of people outside, and people kept talking, and the messy warmth couldn't be understood at once. Perhaps the double-glazed windows of the house renovation played a role, reducing the decibels of the sound outside the house.

Putting on the slippers, Wen Xu walked through the door, came to the door and gently opened the wooden latch, opened the door with a squeak, and instantly swept into the light of the room, which made Wen Xu who had not fully woken up immediately tense up. I closed my eyes.

Shixu, Shixu, open the door quickly!

Uncle Xu, open the door, open the door!

When the people outside the courtyard saw Wen Xu open the door, they immediately started yelling again.

What are you doing, what are you doing blocking my door if you don't sleep so early in the morning! Wen Xu opened his eyes while yelling towards the outside of the courtyard. middle.

The old jujube tree with dead branches and stalks yesterday is now covered with flowers overnight, and the entire canopy almost covers the small courtyard. The young leaves are covered with morning dew, and the green and crisp The infinite breath of life swayed in the morning wind. The original old branches are completely invisible, hidden in the thick leaves and deep branches. On the original dry and rough old tree trunks, faint water stains can also be seen, and a small tree scar can still be vaguely seen Pale yellow sap.

The tree is alive, not only alive but also alive! Miraculously, it was covered with green leaves overnight, and new branches came out!

God has a spirit! An old voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

The old jujube tree has come back to life! Ancestors bless you! This time the voice of the speaker was a little crying.

The ancestors don't blame me. One sat on the ground whimpering, hugging his hairy forehead, crying loudly like a child.

The crowd outside the courtyard began to respond to the words of these old people. The villagers have only now realized that this old jujube tree has a different meaning to them, especially those old people who saw the old jujube tree exuding vitality overnight. , People in their sixties almost have tears in their eyes.

For them, maybe this is not just a tree, but also the kind of remorse hidden in their hearts. They hate that when they were young, they were impulsive, and they were instigated by others, regardless of right and wrong, black and white. The ancestral hall destroyed his ancestral god. Now that I see myself aging day by day and approaching death, I will think of the ancestral hall buried in the raging flames from time to time, and I will regret that moment until I can't sleep.

The old people don't say it, but almost all the old people are superstitiously thinking that the old jujube tree does not bear fruit. I don't want to bear fruit anymore, it must be that the ancestors blamed themselves for these unworthy descendants, thinking that the evil they did made their descendants unworthy of their protection.

When they were young, they didn't think about it at all, but as their bodies approached the exhaustion of oil and lamps day by day, their anxiety, shame, and fear gradually increased with the passage of time and health. Come to think of it, for these older generations who have been influenced by the culture of ethics, what kind of crime is it in the hearts of these old-school people to see their ancestors without face.

Regarding this point, it is difficult for the young generation who have been fully educated in Western countries to understand the feelings of these old people.

The vitality of the jujube tree has reappeared, and judging from this posture, it is impossible to say that there is hope that new fruits will grow again this year. For these old people, this not only represents the reappearance of the life of a jujube tree, but also represents The ancestors' understanding for themselves, even if it is not understanding, is to have pity for their descendants again, and they are willing to let the descendants taste the fruits they planted.

At this moment outside the courtyard, as the old people took the lead, there was a lot of crying, but Wen Nu who was standing in the courtyard was completely confused, and there was only one thought in his mind: Fuck! Too much water! What to do! ?

It is actually not easy for the old jujube tree to stand for hundreds of years. I was planning to withdraw from the historical stage of Wenjia Village, but who knew that Wen Xu would be revived as if poured with chicken blood. , Not only is he resurrected with full blood, but he lives even more monster-like. If he is not cut by knives and axes, he may live for another thousand years without any problem.

Wen Xu was subconsciously thinking about how to explain this. When she came back to her senses, she heard a cry outside the door, and a group of people with big white beards beat their chests and said their faults. In the past, jujube tree heavy work was the ancestor's spirit, so I don't need to waste my words on my side, so let's show the ancestor's spirit!

Thinking of this, Wen Xu walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the latch to let the crowd in. Who knew that no one dared to come in when the door opened.

Wen Xu was stunned for a long time, when he saw the white-haired old man, the third elder brother of the grandfather family came in wiping his tears, and knelt down as soon as he entered the door, kowtowing his head and howling: Ancestors, Shi Guang I know it's wrong or something.

Then Wen Xu was swept aside, and several white-haired old brothers knelt seven or eight. When the old man knelt here, the people outside the door also knelt down, and the result was less than a minute. Outside the inner door, there was no one standing besides Wen Xu.

Wen Xu is stupid! I thought to myself: What is this called!

Seeing his second elder brother Wen Shigui winking at him, Wen Xu had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly, thinking: This is what happened, I put myself in the things I made, and now I have to Kneel a tree!
