Chapter 5 Summer's Peach Blossom Land!(1/2)

The next morning, the rainy day that lasted for many days passed, so the sky was clear and the white clouds were swaying, and finally there was a hint of spring warmth!

"Do you really have to follow me?"

After leaving Xiacheng and walking north, the sparse forest belts became more and more lush, and the buds had already been drawn out and climbed on the branches, making them so green.

"You said so surely, of course I want to come and have a look!"

Xia Lingyue was really curious and she died. Her younger brother had to earn 1,000 knives in seven days, which was simply an impossible task.

"Okay, but when you encounter danger, you run away first and don't worry about me!"

Natsuno compromised and patiently gave instructing.

The wild beast tide just passed, and it was not very safe in the wild, so there were almost no people on the road. When they entered the forest, they were even less crowded and there was not even a ghost.

"How long will it take?"

I set off before dawn. By now, I had already walked a long way, but Xia Lingyue was used to suffering and didn't feel tired: "Ah? Wild grapes!"

Pushing away the branches blocking the road, a large forest of wild grapes suddenly entered the field of view.

"Wow, why are there so many grapes? If you wait until autumn, how many grapes can you harvest?"

Xia Lingyue trotted over, carefully checking her growth while muttering: "My, all my!"

"It's all yours!"

Xia Ye stood against a tree, his eyes full of smiles.

"No, these vines are different in age, and there are not many weeds around them, so they have obviously been pulled!"

Xia Lingyue soon discovered clues and looked at her younger brother in surprise: "What's going on?"

"I planted it!"

Natsuno explained.

"How is that possible?"

Xia Lingyue screamed, then covered her mouth again. Speaking so loudly in the forest might attract the beast.

"When did you learn to grow grapes?"

Xia Lingyue knew that her younger brother never lies, so she was extremely surprised.

"Learn to explore slowly, after a few years, you will learn it!"

Xia Ye made a random reason. In this era, there was a shortage of food, so the land was used to grow crops such as sorghum, millet, and wheat that could be used as staple food.

Ordinary people eat vegetables and dig them in the wild fields. Orchards and vegetable gardens are things that a few noble people have and are a symbol of status. Therefore, the threshold for planting technology is very high and it is also mysterious to the common people.

"How did you plant it? Tell me!"

Xia Lingyue shook Xia Ye's arm and looked at him like a kitten: "Do you use seeds?"

"grafting!"

Natsuno's words are concise.

"grafting?"

Xia Lingyue looked confused. This kind of word was like a fantasy for her.

"Well, just choose the sweetest and strongest vine, cut off a branch and attach it to other vines!"

Natsuno explained.

"Can you live like this?"

Xia Lingyue's little mouth opened into an ‘O’ shape.

"Many of the wild grapes are sour and need to be grafted and cultivated until the last one is the sweetest and largest grapes!"

After thinking about it, Xia Ye still stopped talking about the topic of cuttings, otherwise more explanation would be needed.

"It's incredible!"

Xia Lingyue sighed, then became excited, pinched her younger brother, her eyes lit up: "You mean all the grapes here are big and sweet?"

"If nothing unexpected happens!"

Xia Ye grinned his teeth, and his sister's hands were so strong.

"As long as you are in better health in the past few years, you always go out. Wouldn't you always grow grapes here?"

Xia Lingyue asked.

"How is it possible? Is it okay to just go along the way? It's not a problem anyway!"

Xia Ye was so amazed and crying. Could it be that I was a fruit farmer until I was shot in the knee?

“No effort?”

Xia Lingyue wanted to scream again. With this kind of craft, she is a master and is qualified to be respected by King Zhao’s wise and wise men!

"Let's go, I'm not going to take you to see the grapes!"

Xia Ye continued to lead the way and took care of him for five years. Judging from the growth, he should have a good harvest this year. By then, several plans that he had already done can be put into practice.

Xia Lingyue turned around three times, reluctant to look at the vineyard, and wished she could live here.

Passing through a bamboo forest, there is a small open land by a stream with gurgling water. When the summer moon arrives, it screams and jumps over the pebbles.

The wind passes through the bamboo forest, the green shade sways, the swallows pass through the stream, and the birds sing!

This place is really beautiful!

"Yeah, there are fish!"

Xia Lingyue took off her straw sandals, rolled up her sleeves, and jumped down immediately, but then she was shocked.

The stream in early spring is still a bit cool!

The fish is not big, two fingers wide, and the swimming is cunning. Xia Lingyue tried several times, but she didn't catch it.

"Oh, I ran away again!"

Xia Lingyue took a slap in the water with annoyance.

"Stop catching it, don't eat fish at noon!"

Xia Ye carried a stone tray and placed it in the shallow water by the stream: "Remember to eat, I'm going to work!"

"Wait, what is this?"

Xia Lingyue ran over and splashed with water.

The stone tray is full of heart-shaped fruit, covered with dewdrops, and green leaves at the roots, making it cute red.

"strawberry!"

Natsuno chuckled.

"strawberry?"

At the warning of Xia Ye, Xia Lingyue picked up one and put it in her mouth.

The white teeth of the moulded shells were used forcefully to bite the flesh easily. A soft touch just hit my heart and was replaced by a slight sourness, which then turned into sweetness.

call!

Xia Lingyue closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and aftertaste it endlessly, and then another bright red strawberry entered her stomach.

"It's so sweet, you can try it too!"

Xia Lingyue picked up one and handed it to Xia Ye.

"It's too sweet, don't like it, you eat it!"

Natsuno shook his head.

"oh"

He stretched out his pink tongue and licked off the juice remaining on his lips. Xia Lingyue, who was still interested, put away the plate.

"Eat, don't save it!"

Natsuno was speechless.

"No, save it, eat later!"

Xia Lingyue refused.

"This thing cannot be put, it will be new!"

Xia Ye explained.

"Not then!"

Xia Lingyue shook her head into a rattle.

"Just eat, there are many more behind!"

It is completely worth the effort to see my sister’s smile.
