Chapter 121 My Husband Saved My Life——
But working in the fields all year round makes him look particularly old.
There are seven or eight children in his family, and the one following him just now is the eldest.
The whole family makes a living by managing this peach orchard for their master.
Talking about Taoyuan, the old man became talkative.
I don't know how I got to this point, but although there are a lot of peaches this year, it's a pity that perhaps because the peaches are so good, they also attract birds.
Every year when the peaches are about to ripen, birds come in droves.
I can't even drive him away.
If you are not careful, the reddest and sweetest peaches on the top of the tree will be pecked to pieces by birds.
In previous years, when peaches were harvested in the village, all the children in the village would stay in the peach orchard during the day, using bamboo poles to drive away birds.
Even so, there are still considerable losses every year.
Hearing this, Lu Zhenzhen remembered that although she was a social animal in her previous life, she had also participated in several team-building activities.
One time, I went to the peach orchard to pick peaches.
I remember that the peaches in the peach orchard were all covered in paper bags.
This can prevent damage from insects and birds.
It can also ensure the appearance of the peach.
You might as well give it a try.
But in this era, paper is a precious thing.
It is more valuable than peaches, so using paper to bag it is probably too extravagant.
After returning, ask Fu Zhiyi and then ask the manager of the manor to see if there is any other solution.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhenzhen slowly followed him up the mountain.
Thanks to the good food at the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Zhenzhen was fine after walking for half a day, except for sweating.
When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Lu Zhenzhen also saw the path.
Seeing the old man's reserved look, she let him go back. Before leaving, she asked Dingxiang to give him a handful of reward money.
The old man kowtowed to Lu Zhenzhen with joy, then held the reward tightly and went back happily.
After the old man walked away, Lu Zhenzhen signaled Dingxiang, "Hurry, hurry, do you see the peach gum on that tree? Let's pick some and take it back, dry it, and then make some Tremella soup. It's really good for your skin and beauty."
Dingxiang is a very straightforward person. She listens to whatever Lu Zhenzhen says.
When he heard that he wanted to pick peach gum, he took off the small basket he was carrying, squatted under the peach tree, and started picking.
Peach gum is the gelatinous substance secreted from the injured part of the peach tree, which looks bumpy.
Amber in color.
In some places, it is only the size of a fingernail.
Some places secrete more, forming large lumps.
Some look clean.
Some of them are mixed with a lot of impurities and look dirty.
At first, Dingxiang just wanted to pick the big clumps of them, but later Lu Zhenzhen saw it and asked her to try to pick those that looked clean and had less impurities.
This will make it easier to rinse when you go back.
The two guards were watching from behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.
I don’t know whether it’s better to just stand by and watch, or to pick them together.
After all, they had never seen such a female master in the backyard. It was such a small matter. They just needed to tell the manager of the farm and someone would come to pick it.
When I return to the Marquis' Mansion, I guarantee that I will have the best, cleanly picked peach gum to bring back.
Why bother?
Lu Zhenzhen naturally didn't know what the two guards were thinking, and even if she knew, it wouldn't matter.
How could they know the joy of picking your own fruits?
When she was a corporate slave, she liked to go to this kind of picking garden whenever she had free time.
Whether it's picking some vegetables, grapes, or peaches.
There’s nothing like working hard for half a day, breaking a sweat, and finally feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing the two guards in a dilemma, he simply asked them to move away.
After all, when picking peach gum, I have to move around under the tree, and it would not be good if the security guard saw me.
The dean of the security guards breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated dozens of meters.
Maintain a distance where you can hear sounds and movements but not see people.
After the guards left, Lu Zhenzhen and Dingxiang both relaxed a lot.
In order to pick more, Lu Zhenzhen and Dingxiang simply went in two different directions.
Lu Zhenzhen was so busy picking peach gum that she unknowingly walked to the end of the peach tree.
There is a fence in front, and beyond that is the hill.
The fences were sparse but firmly tied.
It is probably to prevent wild animals in the mountains from rushing into the peach orchard and destroying the trees.
Lu Zhenzhen looked at the peach gum in the basket, which was almost half full.
I simply stopped and looked for the direction, mainly to find the path leading up the mountain.
I walked slowly up the path, planning to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.
At the end of the peach forest path, there is a bamboo door that is slightly open.
Pushing open the bamboo door, there is a narrow path.
On both sides were weeds and shrubs that were almost as tall as a person.
Further away, there are some tall trees, absolutely pristine.
Lu Zhenzhen looked around, found a bamboo stick, and then cautiously walked onto the narrow path.
As he walked, he also knocked the weeds on both sides.
This is called alerting the snake.
After all, there are many snakes and insects in the mountains at this time.
After walking through this narrow path, there is a huge flat stone in front of you, standing on the side of the road. Look back and look down the mountain.
You can clearly see the Lan family's farm, the green rice fields, and the people busy in the rice fields.
A winding river meanders along the side of the village and into the distance.
A little further away is the village where the tenants of the farm live, with houses of all sizes scattered around.
At that moment, the memory of the death attacked her, and a line from the Peach Blossom Spring she had memorized suddenly emerged in her mind: "The land is flat and spacious, the houses are well-maintained, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The roads are interconnected, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard."
Standing by the stone, he stood there for a long time.
Lu Zhenzhen then looked away.
To continue up the mountain, you have to go around this stone.
Just when she was halfway around, Lu Zhenzhen seemed to hear someone talking from above?
I listened carefully, but couldn't hear anything anymore.
After walking two more steps forward and going around the stone, the view suddenly opens up.
Beyond a large group of rocks is a forest.
There were two people standing at the edge of the woods, one of them looked so familiar.
Wasn’t it said that Fu Zhiyi was going to do business? Who is he?
The strange man next to Fu Zhiyi was dressed in tight clothes. When he heard the noise, his eyes as sharp as lightning swept over.
Just happened to meet Lu Zhenzhen's surprised eyes.
The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Zhenzhen suddenly felt something was wrong!
OMG! Did we run into a meeting?
Damn it! Anyone who comes to such a secret place to talk must be doing something shameful!
In novels and TV shows, when encountering such a situation, people like her who stray into the situation will be hunted down and silenced!
Is it too late for her to escape now?
Or should she beg Fu Zhiyi for mercy, swear that she saw and heard nothing, and then ask for her life to be spared?
While she was still hesitating, the stranger had already lightly stepped on the ground and leaped in front of her.
Without giving her a chance to speak, he swung the dagger in front of Lu Zhenzhen.
My life is in danger!
In an instant, Lu Zhenzhen burst out with great energy, squatting on the spot with her head in her hands, crying out in a mournful voice: "Good man, spare my life! My husband, save my life——"
