First European Emperor [Quick Transmigration]

The next morning, Xiangyang Village was calm after the rain.

Ou Zizhou sat on the bed, lost in thought.

The apricot tree in his yard disappeared, leaving only a field of yellow leaves.

There may be several reasons for the disappearance of the apricot tree: first, it was stolen; second, there was a supernatural event such as being struck by lightning and disappearing; third...it became a dryad.

Considering the thick trunk of the apricot tree and the difficulty of carrying out the theft, among the three reasons, he thinks the third one is the most likely.

If this apricot tree becomes a spirit, then this is the second tree spirit related to him.

In the natural environment, however, only one in a million trees mature.

What damn charm does he have that makes the trees around him become spirits?

Fortunately, the dryad was friendly to the planters, otherwise he would have been torn apart by the apricot tree last night.

Thinking that the apricot tree in the yard might become a spirit and run away, Ou Zizhou lost all energy for a day.

Affected by yesterday's heavy rain, a lot of water accumulated on the stove outside the house, and the firewood was also wet.In order to start the fire, he had to go out to buy firewood. He passed by the village chief's house and saw people coming and going at the door. He stopped curiously to inquire and found out that on the night of strong winds yesterday, the village chief's daughter gave birth to a little girl, adding a new child to the village chief. Little granddaughter.

There are not many vegetatives who can survive to see their grandchildren. Although this is the third grandchild of the village chief, it is also a great joy for the villagers.

It turned out to be a happy event for the village head's family.Ou Zizhou just arrived here, the village head treated him better than his own father, so Ou Zizhou couldn't miss this opportunity to express his gratitude. After buying the firewood, he bought a big fish by the way, and when he got home, he lit a fire and boiled a big pot of fish soup , sent it to the village chief.

When the village chief saw him coming, he was overjoyed. He searched out a large basket of home-grown vegetables and asked him to take them home and eat them slowly.

Ou Zizhou originally wanted to talk to the village chief about the apricot tree in the yard, but seeing that the village chief was so busy greeting the guests, and today was a happy day, he really couldn't bear to let the village chief worry about it, so he Thinking about talking to him again in a few days.

It's just that the apricot tree left such a big hole, Ou Zizhou had to find a way to fill it up.The other courtyard is located at the outermost edge of Qingcheng, surrounded by endless forests, and the most indispensable thing is mud.Ou Zizhou thought that he could move two buckets of mud outside the city to fill up the big hole.

If the hole is filled, he can grow whatever he wants in the backyard.

However, when he approached the big pit, he found a bunch of things at the bottom of the pit that were different in color from the soil on the side, so he jumped into the pit, scraped the soil away, and found that it was actually a piece of soft brown cloth, which seemed to be the corner of a cloth bag .

The main body of the cloth bag was still deeply buried in the soil, and Ou Zizhou struggled to pull the bag out.Seeing that the bag was only as big as his head, the contents inside were so heavy that he could barely lift it.

The bag contains hard objects.

The bag was buried under the apricot tree, it should be as big as the apricot tree, and it must be at least a hundred years old.Perhaps the person who buried the bag at that time deliberately planted a tree in the buried place to hide the existence of the contents in the bag.

The things buried here by the ancestors hundreds of years ago gave Ou Zizhou the illusion of standing in the long river of history and talking to the ancestors.

The history of Qingcheng is still short, no matter what is dug out, the history of hundreds of years should be counted as cultural relics, right?

Since it is a cultural relic, maybe it can be sold to the main city for some money, so that the village can build necessary facilities such as water and electricity.

Thinking about it this way, Ou Zizhou is quite beautiful, full of expectations to untie the tight rope, and at the same time pray that his bad luck BUFF will not appear at this time, and hope that the ancestors will not be too boring and spend a lot of time hiding it. A pile of useless stuff.

Because the rope was tied in a dead knot, after hundreds of years, the knot was completely fused together, and Ou Zizhou couldn't untie it, so he had to go back to the house and get a pair of scissors, trying to cut the cloth bag open.Unexpectedly, the fabric used for the cloth bag was not ordinary fabric, and even the sharp scissors that Ou Zizhou just bought couldn't cut it open.

When he was at a loss, he suddenly realized something, pointed the scissors at the knot and cut it, and he cut it open.

However, what was in the bag surprised him, and he was speechless for a long time——

It's gold bars.

He had lived several lifetimes, but he had never seen so many gold bars piled up in front of him, and he was shocked.

The group of people who drifted to this planet hundreds of years ago didn't have much gold at all.

Because gold bars have no value in space life, and the weight of luggage carried by each passenger is limited, so in addition to the materials of the periodic table of elements and the building materials of the spacecraft that must be carried by the spacecraft itself, the gold on the entire spacecraft is only carried by the passengers. gold jewelry.

Spaceships and the periodic table of elements, which are considered by people as the guideposts of technology, are well preserved, and there are only a few gold ornaments in circulation on the market.

Gold was worthless in the early stages of civilization construction when people lived and slept in the open, but now that they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, collectibles gradually reveal their value, and gold, as an extremely rare metal, has far surpassed the value of gold as a precious metal on the earth. on the value.

Not as common as it is on Earth, in Qingcheng, only the rich and powerful can own gold ornaments.For ordinary people, the only place to see gold is in a museum that houses the material for the periodic table.

Ou Zizhou couldn't estimate the value of this bag of gold at all, and he wasn't even sure what to do with it.

He decided to find an opportunity to tell the village chief about the gold and the apricot tree together. Right now, he should dig some soil and fill up the big hole first.

The other courtyard is on the edge of Qingcheng, and his wooden house is on the edge of the other courtyard.

On the other side of the pond, through a sparse forest, is the boundary wall of Qingcheng.

Ou Zizhou had long heard that in order to facilitate the entry and exit of firewood collectors, a small hole was opened on the side of the fence, which was usually blocked by a wooden door with a bolt, but it was not locked.The wooden door has a relatively wide gap, and the small door can be easily opened no matter from the inside or the outside.

So when Ou Zizhou walked to the wall and saw a big hole in the wall collapsed, he instantly understood what happened.

The almond tree ran out of the hole!

Unexpectedly, that apricot tree not only became a spirit, but also broke through the wall.How could he even think about digging?He ran to the village chief's house, out of breath, told the village chief about the big hole, and asked him to send someone to repair the wall.

"Oh, that wall." The village head laughed, "That wall collapsed in a month. If you are worried about the tree people coming back to disturb the lives of the residents, you don't worry too much. Normally, the trees People will avoid activities where there are people. For the east of the city, the existence of our villages is a more reliable protection than the wall, so the wall collapsed, and we did not rush to repair it. But recently everyone has been free Now, we can prepare to repair the wall."

It turned out that the hole was not made by the apricot tree.Ou Zizhou felt less guilty: "Village chief, and the apricot tree in my yard is gone. I wonder if it turned into a tree and ran away?"

"Turn into a tree man?!" The village head widened his eyes in surprise. He had lived for so long and had never heard of the story of the tree turning into a tree man. He was so shocked that he realized that the tree man was actually a tree. And he, an old man who is more than seventy years old, has been weather-beaten, and no matter how novel things usually can make his steady face show a surprised expression, so there is no need to be surprised when a tree turns into a treant at this time.

It's just that he never thought that the tree he grew up with would turn into a tree man.

He cleared his throat in embarrassment, stroked his beard and said, "That apricot tree is about the same age as this village, and it is not impossible to become a tree man. Since he is no longer in the village, he probably returned to the forest Go, let him go."

However, there are many older trees in this village, so why did the untended apricot tree become a tree man?In the centuries-old history of the village tree, there has never been a tree that has become a tree person. Is there any special opportunity?

The village chief thought about it, and suddenly saw the little flower in Ou Zizhou's hand, and asked with a smile, "Is your flower blooming?"

It was only then that Ou Zizhou noticed that the little white flower wrapped around his right hand had fully bloomed.

Every petal on the small flower is round and full, clustered with pale yellow stamens, trying to raise the head to face the sky, lining the edge of Ou Zizhou's middle finger, very cute.

"Really, it's blooming." Ou Zizhou felt as if he was watching his own child grow up, and there was a burst of inexplicable joy and emotion in his heart.

However, when he saw the white petals stained with light yellow pollen, he felt a little uneasy: "This pollen seems to fall off, does it need special treatment?"

"No need." The village chief smiled, "Your flowers only have stamens, no pistils, no fruit, and no contagion. And no one in the village has hay fever, so you can rest assured."

"That's good." Ou Zizhou felt relieved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up again.This is the first time the plants on his body have bloomed, and I don't know how long the flowering period will last.Unfortunately, most plants have a relatively short flowering period.

Ou Zizhou was thinking about watering or fertilizing the flowers, and the village chief asked him again: "By the way, are you going to the wall to leave the city? What are you going to do?"

"The apricot tree ran away, leaving a big hole. I plan to go out of the city and dig some soil to fill the hole." Ou Zizhou replied honestly.

The village chief nodded, thinking that the apricot tree had luxuriant branches and leaves, and the roots might not be deep enough, so he suggested: "It may take several trips for you to dig alone, I will ask a few more people to help you dig together, and fill the soil earlier." flat."

"Thank you, village chief!" Ou Zizhou smiled, suddenly remembering that he hadn't told about the bag of gold bars, "Village chief, it's still early, and the soil can be dug later. If it's convenient, can I trouble you to come to my house? Then I buried a bag under a tree, and I want you to see what to do with the bag.”

"Is there a bag buried under the tree?" The village head bowed slightly, showing just the right amount of surprise.Unexpectedly, there was something buried under that apricot tree, which had been buried for hundreds of years.He knew that time could bestow extraordinary value on many things, and he vaguely expected that the buried under the tree would be historical objects or works of art that they could sell to the main city.

Back then, the Bieyuan introduced the first electric circuit, relying on a stone sculpture dug out of the soil and brought from the earth.

Of course, he knew very well that not so many predecessors had the leisure and grace to bury treasures underground.

He couldn't help being amused by his daydream, and asked Ou Zizhou casually: "Have you opened the bag? What's inside?"

Ou Zizhou lowered his voice: "It's a bag of gold bars."

"It really is a bag of gold bars." The village chief smiled.As he expected, there was no expensive artwork in the bag, but...

Ou Zizhou was a little dumbfounded, what do you mean it really is a bag of gold bars?The village head is so predictable, has he already guessed that there is a gold bar buried under the tree?

However, within a few seconds, the smile on the village head's face froze. He froze on the spot, blinked his eyes twice, and his expression changed suddenly after he realized that he suddenly grabbed Ou Zizhou's arm, his eyes full of disbelief: "You said that the bag is in the bag?" What's in it? One, one, one, a bag of gold bars?!"
