My ingredients are all over the comprehension world

The bamboo forest behind Jing Nan's house is planted outside the barrier. Although it is ice and snow outside the barrier, the bamboo forest is still green. The bamboo branches are as thick as an arm, bent over by the heavy snow.

As soon as he got out of the enchantment, he felt a gust of cold air blowing towards his face. I don't know if it was Du Heng's illusion. He felt that the temperature in the bamboo forest was lower than that in Nanshan.And he had goosebumps on his back.

After half a meter of snow outside the barrier, it is not easy to find winter bamboo shoots under the thick snow, but Du Heng has his own method.

There is a bamboo forest behind his grandpa's house, and whenever the winter vacation comes in winter, grandpa will take him to dig winter bamboo shoots.Although his vision is not as vicious as his grandfather's, every time he planed along the bamboo whip, there was always something to gain.

Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao followed behind Du Heng. Du Heng carried Jing Nan's pannier for picking spirit plants on his back. When walking in the snow, his wobbly back was very cute.

Jing Nan clasped his hands and said, "Although there are bamboos growing behind my house, I have never taken this guy's bamboo shoots. I don't know how it tastes like?" Du Heng told Jing Nan with the professionalism of a professional foodie: "This bamboo looks like a good bamboo. The bamboo shoots it grows must be big and sweet. If you look after it, you will be able to dig a few bamboo shoots back."

Jing Nan squinted his eyes and looked at the nearest clump of bamboo. The bamboo swayed slightly in the wind, making it look more upright.The bamboos in the bamboo forest grow together in clumps one by one, and they are crowded together, giving the feeling of covering the sky and the sun.The wind blows over the bamboo leaves, bringing down the fine residual snow on the bamboo leaves.

In the outermost part of the bamboo forest, there is a clump of bamboo that looks different.The other bamboos are tall and green, and the dark green bamboo leaves are particularly vigorous, but this pillar is only as thick as a thumb, and there are only three sparse bamboos, and the branches were bent by the heavy snow, and the three bamboos almost fell to the ground.

Du Heng shook those bamboos to shake off the remaining snow on them: "If you don't shake off, if there is another heavy snow tonight, this bamboo will be broken by the heavy snow." The other bamboos are as thick as fists, just these few The thin bamboo is only as thick as a finger and as tall as a person, and looks malnourished.Its color is incompatible with the dark green bamboo forest, how to describe it?Rather than saying that it is bamboo, it is better to say that it is like an ornament carved from jasper. Although it is malnourished, it is quite beautiful.

After Du Heng shook off the snow on the bamboo, the thin bamboo seemed to wake up, and every leaf stretched out.Du Heng touched the bamboo: "It's okay, when the spring is warm next year and the flowers bloom, you will grow into a flexible bamboo, and it will not be broken by the snow." People love beauty, so thin The bamboo can survive in the bamboo forest, it must be very hard work.

Du Heng thinks that next year he can come over and transplant this bamboo into the yard. It seems that this bamboo is not of the same species as other bamboos.It just so happened that the spiritual plants hadn't been transplanted in their yard yet. Planting a clump of bamboo should be very elegant and match the style of the yard.

Jing Nan smiled and said, "What do you think of my bamboo forest? Isn't it very artistic?"

Du Heng looked at the bamboo grove and said: "When I saw Doctor Jing, you have never taken care of the bamboo grove. You see, there are a lot of old bamboos in your bamboo grove. It is best to remove these bamboos in time so that new bamboo shoots can grow. And This piece of bamboo is too dense, sometimes it’s not as dense as possible, because plants need space to grow, too dense is not good for new and old bamboo.”

These are all taught by Du Heng's grandfather, and Du Heng himself is not an expert in raising bamboo.With his shallow knowledge, he gave Jing Nan these suggestions.The corners of Jing Nan's mouth twitched: "You...you are really not polite at all."

Du Heng smiled and said: "This is too much, next spring you listen to me, go to the too old bamboo, and leave the new bamboo, so..." Du Heng heard a thin voice, and at the same time he felt a puff on his buttocks. Pain, Du Heng almost jumped up.

When he looked back, he saw that the bamboo he had shaken off the snow just now was dangling.Du Heng rubbed his butt: "Huh? Who hit me?"

Jing Nan was so happy that he could hardly find his eyes: "Let you talk nonsense in the bamboo forest. This piece of bamboo is guarded by spirits, so you can't talk nonsense." Du Heng shut up quickly, and he folded his hands facing the direction of the bamboo forest: "Bamboo forest Don’t blame the spirit, Du Heng’s ignorant nonsense, don’t take it to heart. I came today to ask for a few tender bamboo shoots to go back into the dishes, if you don’t want to, I’ll go back right away.”

In the bamboo forest, there was only the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves. Du Heng lowered his hands to look around.The sharp-eyed Xiaoxiao suddenly saw that the bamboo that hit Du Heng just now rubbed against Du Heng's hand with the bamboo leaf as if it had come to life.

Xiaoxiao just wanted to remind Du Heng, but Jing Nan covered Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Xiaoxiao, this is his chance, don't interrupt."

Du Heng felt an itch in his hands.He looked down and saw that the three bamboos were swaying in the wind, and the jade-colored bamboo leaves touched the back of his hand.Du Heng touched the bamboo leaves: "Grow well, and I will transplant you into the yard in spring."

The spirit in the bamboo forest didn't seem to object to Du Heng looking for bamboo shoots, so Du Heng took a small hoe and walked towards the nearest clump of bamboo. He found an old bamboo and dug away the snow at the root.

The thick snow is covered with a layer of gray-brown bamboo leaves, and the wet bamboo leaves are gray-brown with an earthy smell.Du Heng planed the bamboo leaves and saw the solid soil below. The soil near the roots of the bamboo was arched by the bamboo whip and extended in one direction.

Experienced bamboo shoot diggers can judge where on the bamboo whip there will be bamboo shoots based on the thickness of the bamboo joints and the orientation of the bamboo leaves, but Du Heng does not have this vision yet.All he can do is to find the bamboo whip and plan along the bamboo whip. If he is lucky, he will soon find the winter bamboo shoots buried in the soil.

Seeing Du Heng busy, Jing Nan leaned against a bamboo with a smile in his arms: "Oh, I don't think it looks good."

The direction Du Heng dug the bamboo shoots led to the forest. He was lucky, and the bamboo whip he found floated shallowly on the soil, so it didn't take much effort to dig it.In addition, Du Heng now has the third level of Qi training, and with a little spiritual energy in the shovel in his hand, he can dig very fast.

Not long after digging, he found a yellow winter bamboo shoot on the bamboo whip.The two ends of the winter bamboo shoots are pointed, and the middle is round. Du Heng weighed them, and the winter bamboo shoots should weigh a pound.

He happily hoeed the winter bamboo shoots off the bamboo whip and threw them into the basket: "Not all winter bamboo shoots can grow into bamboo, and many winter bamboo shoots will rot in the soil, and spring bamboo shoots will grow again in spring." .”

Jing Nan looked at the bamboo forest and raised his brows: "Oh~ there is another thing? I didn't expect you to know a lot about bamboo."

Du Heng continued to dig bamboo shoots along the bamboo whip, and said modestly as he dug: "I don't know much about it. All I know are very common bamboos. I have never seen the bamboo behind your house before. I have never seen such a beautiful bamboo before." bamboo. What is the name of this bamboo?"

Jing Nan said: "Peizhu, the name of this kind of bamboo is Peizhu." Du Heng thought about it for a while: "This name sounds nice." But bamboo is an elegant plant, and the name is not difficult to hear.

Jing Nan smiled and said, "Du Heng, haven't you read the historical records of the cultivation world?"

Du Heng shook his head honestly, and he smiled embarrassingly: "I used to be an outer disciple in Yaowang Valley, and I didn't have access to such advanced things."

Jing Nan said: "It's good, sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

Du Heng: ...Suddenly felt that he had been scolded.

The winter bamboo shoots of Peizhu are very big, seven or eight bamboo shoots are formed on a bamboo whip, and half a box of bamboo shoots is piled up in the basket after a while.Du Heng covered the bamboo whip with mud mixed with ice and snow: "After taking the bamboo shoots, you must protect the bamboo shoots well, so that the bamboo can grow well."

Jing Nan nodded: "Yeah~" His expression seemed very perfunctory, seeing Du Heng looking at him, Jing Nan spread his hands: "Don't look at me, except you, there should be no one in the village who will come to pick up bamboo shoots gone."

Du Heng asked: "Why? Don't you know how to dig bamboo shoots?"

Jing Nan shrugged: "No, do you know what Peizhu's alias is?" Du Heng asked, "What is it?"

Jing Nan said: "Pei bamboo is also known as ghost crying bamboo." Du Heng said: "I know, does it mean that the wind blows through the bamboo forest to make the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling? Bamboo forests are generally quiet, and it is normal to have such a sound."

Jing Nan laughed and said, "No, it's because this kind of bamboo grows big and has a strong temper. No matter what the purpose is, anyone who enters the bamboo forest will be beaten to the point of crying and howling."

Du Heng was startled, he turned his head to look at the bamboo swaying gently in the wind: "No way?" Is this an ordinary bamboo?If it was really like what Jing Nan said, why did he come out intact?He also took bamboo shoots, isn't he going to die in the bamboo forest?

Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down: "Maybe you are a top-grade wood spirit root, and Pei Zhu likes you very much. In the future, you may consider using Pei bamboo as your natal spiritual plant?" Du Heng scratched his hair: " Hmm... ok."

Bamboo is a good thing, and the whole body is full of treasures.Du Heng felt that he had nothing to do with the world, so he shouldn't have to deal with the temperamental and aggressive natal spiritual plants, and it would be good to use bamboo as natal spiritual plants.If there is a lack of food, you can dig out bamboo shoots to make up for a meal, which is very good.
