Chapter 187: Spring comes out of dead trees

After placing a bucket of spiritual spring water in front of Xiao Jin, she looked around the beach.

This beach is much smaller than the beach behind Lanshan, but the biggest reason why she chose to transport the wood here is because this beach is very hidden.

The mountains behind the beach form a concave U-shape and surround it. On the right side of the beach is a cliff connected to the sea, and only the left side leads to Zhenhaisi. Therefore, no one can find this beach unless they climb over the mountains to check.

The most important thing is that this beach is not far from the Zhenhaisi. Just walk along the coastline for an hour and you can see the Zhenhaisi’s watchtower.

Lin Shuyue looked up at the sun. It was almost noon. According to the speed of an adult man, the soldiers should be here soon.

To make sure nothing went wrong, she planned to wait until the soldiers arrived before leaving.

However, in order to avoid trouble, she did not intend to show up in front of the soldiers. After checking the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual, she took Xiao Jin and flashed into the space.

In the space, after settling Xiao Jin in the open space beside the stream, Lin Shuyue came to the old tree in front of the thatched house.

This old tree was like a dead tree when she first got this space, but after she watered it with spiritual spring water every now and then, the old tree began to come back to life, and new buds began to appear on the dry branches.

Today, the old tree has grown lush and green, in stark contrast to the dead branches and leaves at the beginning.

However, she still hasn't figured out what kind of tree this old tree is. But based on the fact that this old tree was planted in the space by Venerable Zi Yu, she dared to conclude that this tree must be extraordinary.

Lin Shuyue stood under the tree, reaching out to gently touch the complex patterns on the old tree, muttering, "Who are you? Why did Venerable Ziyu plant you in the space?"

Unfortunately, the only response she got was a green leaf gently falling.

Lin Shuyue reached out to catch the leaf, raised her head and looked upward, only to be surprised to see green flower buds growing on the branches above her head!

Is it about to bloom?

She excitedly walked around the old tree to examine it carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the branches were already full of green flower buds, but they were still hidden among the lush green leaves, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find them.

It's really not an ordinary tree. The flower buds are as green and clear as emeralds. If they bloom and bear fruit, wouldn't the fruit be a fairy fruit? Lin Shuyue looked at the flower buds above her head and smiled foolishly.

After a while, Lin Shuyue came back to her senses from her wild fantasy, humming a little tune, picked up the wooden spoon beside the Tianling Spring Pool, scooped a full spoonful of spiritual spring water and returned to the tree.

After pouring the spiritual spring water around the tree roots, she gently patted the trunk and said earnestly: "Old tree, old tree, please bloom and bear fruit soon. I can't wait to see the fruits you bear!"

After watering the old tree, Lin Shuyue followed the same method and watered the medicinal herbs in the medicinal plot, as well as the rice fields and wheat fields with the spiritual spring water.

At this moment, she suddenly heard voices talking outside the space, and she quickly focused her attention and looked outside the space.

On the beach outside the space, more than fifty soldiers were loading wood onto a cart, and the sound just now was their shouting.

She looked for a while and then looked away. She planned to wait until most of the soldiers left before leaving the space. She also needed to go to the orchard on the hillside to take a look.

On the beach, the soldiers worked in pairs to move the logs. After they filled up the carts they brought, everyone dared to sit down and rest for a while.

"Captain, what kind of wood is this? Why is it so big? And why did they send us to transport the wood when it was in good condition?"

A dark-skinned young man asked a middle-aged man curiously, and the other soldiers all looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: "Why are you asking so many questions? This task was personally ordered by Lord Han who is beside the Governor. Are you not happy?"

The soldiers shook their heads immediately upon hearing this. “No, no, we are not unhappy. We are just a little curious.”

The middle-aged man's expression eased, and he said loudly, "Alright, take some time to rest. This coastline is rarely visited by people, and it is overgrown with weeds, so it's not easy to walk. Everyone, please be careful later!"

"Yes!"

After an incense stick of time, the soldiers began to return.

This time they pushed eighteen carts. Because the wood was too big, each cart could only carry three logs. One person pulled the cart in the front and two people pushed the cart in the back. The middle-aged man walked at the front of the team and used a knife to clear a path for the people behind.

Lin Shuyue flashed out of the space and watched the long team gradually go away, until the team turned a corner and disappeared from sight, then she withdrew her gaze.

She looked at the pile of logs left on the beach and said sorry to the soldiers in her heart.

She had originally thought about sending the wood directly to the Zhenhai Division, but doing so could easily cause unnecessary trouble, so she had to let the soldiers do it.

At their current speed, it would take four or five days to complete the move.

In the evening, Lin Shuyue walked down the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun. As soon as she got home, Lin An and Li handed her a letter with a happy look on their faces.

"Ayue, Huaizhi sent a letter. He said he will come to Sishui County to see us after the early rice is harvested!"

Brother Qin's letter? Lin Shuyue took the letter and read it roughly. The meaning was similar to what her parents said.

However, at the end of the letter, he said that he had prepared gifts for himself and his elder and second brothers, and had asked the escort agency to transport them to Sishui County, and they should arrive in two days.

"Dad, please write back to Brother Qin and thank him for his gift." Lin Shuyue returned the letter to Lin An and gave him the task of replying.

Lin An took the letter and went back to the study.

Lin Shuyue looked at the sky and walked out, "Mom, I'm going to the lotus pond and the orchard."

"Hey, wait for me, I want to go too. A few days ago, Qingshan dug a few vegetable plots by the river and planted some eggplants, beans and cucumbers. I want to take a look."

Li followed Lin Shuyue's footsteps, and the mother and daughter walked out of the door affectionately.

In the riverside vegetable garden, Li picked a fresh cucumber and handed it to Lin Shuyue, saying, "The Qiqiao Festival will be in a few days. Let's go to the city. I heard from your aunt Tang that the night market during the Qiqiao Festival in the city is very lively."

The Qiqiao Festival is also known as the "Daughter's Day". On the day of the Qiqiao Festival every year, clever women would take their girls to make dumplings of various shapes out of flour, and then fry them in a pan, which is called "Qiaoguo".

At night, after worshipping the Seven Star Goddess, the girls put on beautiful clothes, combed their hair into exquisite buns, and took their friends to the night market on the street to play.

If girls fall in love with a young man at the night market, they just need to go home and tell their parents. The elders will then find out about the other party and if they are a good match, they can get married.

Of course, the night of the Qiqiao Festival is also a rare opportunity for those engaged girls and boys to play together openly.
