Fruit fairy

Chapter 2

In order to eat the flesh of the melon and test the effectiveness of his golden finger, Li Can could only use his housekeeping skills.

"Miao, I didn't hesitate to save you back then, I didn't even blame you when I was hit on the head by a tree trunk, don't you even want to give me a melon now?"

Li Miao hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother passed out at that time, but mother complained to me a lot, if my leg wasn't broken, mother would still beat me."

Li Can said helplessly: "Whether to complain or not is not the point, so why don't you just say whether you will eat it or not?"

"Mother said no, I'm afraid you will collapse the wall." Li Miao was holding a chicken feather as an arrow at this time, but it made Li Can very angry.

"Well, it looks like our brothers are going to end their fight today." Li Can sighed on purpose and said in a helpless tone.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of "嶿拉嶿拉" and walked closer, and then a sweet scent came in from his nose immediately.

"Brother is sick, give me something delicious, and then return it to me when you recover." Li Miao's voice rang beside his ears.

"You are the one, I am sick."

Li Can opened his eyes and saw the melon in front of him shut his mouth very quickly. When he looked at Li Miao, he saw that his bean-sized tears had already rolled down. He was saying to himself at this moment:

"Brother, I'm sorry, I will never be naughty again, and I will never let my father, mother and brother worry about me. Brother, please don't ignore me, okay? You will always be my brother, right?"

Li Can knew that what he said just now was a bit serious, and it had already stimulated Li Miao to make him very uneasy, so he quickly comforted him, and wanted to reach out to touch his head, but unfortunately his limbs were weak but he couldn't lift them up anyway.

After a long while, Li Miao's mood finally stabilized, and she personally fed Li Can the melon pulp, and then she smiled with satisfaction.

After a while, Li Miao saw his brother with his eyes tightly closed frowning, and immediately thought of something, turned around and went outside, and then came back with a few rags and stayed aside.

"What are you doing?" Li Can asked, opening his eyes when he heard footsteps.

Li Miao said solemnly: "Brother, if the wall collapses, I will clean it up for you, lest mother find out and scold us again."

Li Can couldn't laugh or cry when he said this, but he was still very moved. After all, his younger brother Li Miao was only in his teens.

"Go and play, I'm really fine." Li Can coaxed away his younger brother, closed his eyes again, and carefully looked at the data in his mind.

Advanced Fruit Core: 5/10 (Aura/Essence Blood)

Just now he had synthesized all the melon seeds he ate, and after the synthesis, there were only five first-order mutant seeds left. When he saw these data and pondered for a while, he understood.

These data are still easy to understand. The ones above the column of the number of auras are nothing, and the number of advanced fruit cores is 5/10, because the number is not enough, so the synthesis cannot be continued.

The advanced consumption is closely related to the advanced fruit core, and if the quantity is sufficient, it will naturally change.As for the identification of the fruit core, it is obviously completed. If you get a seed of unknown origin, you can try to use spiritual energy or blood essence to identify it.

It’s just that I’m not a monk and I don’t have any spiritual energy in my body. Of course, I can’t continue to synthesize seeds. As for using my own blood essence, let’s forget it. Li Can doesn’t want to die for no reason. I haven’t lived enough since I just crossed over. .

As for the cultivation and improvement, there is nothing to say. It must be the welfare of the golden finger. There are only advantages and no disadvantages. A simple guess should have a lot to do with the growth cycle of the seeds.

After all, these items in later generations are all like this, which can shorten the growth time of seeds and make their flowering and fruiting cycle shorter.

As soon as Li Can's thoughts moved, the storage space opened by itself. This space is like the backpack props of game characters. One hundred spaces are neatly arranged, and the first space contains 5 seeds stacked together.

And when the eyes fell on it, a faint luster emerged and condensed, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be a word 'spirit'.

"Spirit Seed? Um. That's right, after all, it's the first level of mutation." Li Can thought to himself after seeing it.

Since there is no need for spiritual energy or blood essence to synthesize a mutated first-order spiritual seed, it must be as many as possible.

In the next few days, Li Can naturally tricked and ate a lot of cantaloupe flesh with his younger brother through wits and courage, and the number of first-order mutated spiritual species also reached 23.

And in the past few days, he has also started recovery training, asking his mother to find animal tendons and tie them at the end of the bed, and tie the other end to his limbs and slowly pull them to increase the strength of the muscles.

What's more, he asked his mother to find the villagers in Jishang to build a pair of crutches and a four-wheeled cart. With the help of his mother and younger brother, he could bask in the sun, or let his little follower Li Miao push him around.

Although there are only a hundred or so families in Lijiaji, their ancestors were two brothers a few generations ago.When they left their family and came to this place, they found the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers. After discussing, they decided to stay here and establish a family to prosper. This is how the Lijiaji is today.

The back mountain of Lijiaji is not high, only three or four hundred feet long, and there are many small animals in the lush greenery. If you are lucky when chopping firewood, you can even catch a Da Da Ya Ji.

On the left side of Lijiaji is the lake formed by the convergence of mountain streams and streams. The vast expanse of blue waves is rich in fish, and the sails and egrets are reflected in the green mountains. It is said that the scenery here is the most beautiful at sunrise and sunset.

Because the villagers are honest and of the same clan, neighbors get along quite harmoniously.

There are more than 500 villagers in Lijiaji, but the division of labor is clear and each has its own occupation. Some make a living by cutting firewood, some hunt, and there are also fishing, animal husbandry, breeding, farming, medicinal herbs, textiles, etc. foot.

In this way, although the villagers of Lijiaji live in poverty, they can still be self-sufficient, like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

Li Can's family usually planted fruit trees. In winter, Li Can's father occasionally went hunting in the back mountains to subsidize the family. Wang made fruit wine and sold it in the market, or bartered for some meat and fresh fish. Although the life is plain, fortunately, the family of four can enjoy themselves without contention with the world.

However, this peaceful and warm day was no longer peaceful because Li Miao fell from a tree more than three months ago.

It was summer at this time, and the weather was hot and sweaty. Li Miao pushed the four-wheeler under a jujube tree in the yard.

The leaves swayed in the breeze, and in the shade, the dappled sunlight swayed with the trembling leaves, making people dazzled.

Li Can turned his gaze and saw that the jujube tree was already full of fruits, and the green jujube just showed a few red spots, and it must be half a month before it matures.

Li Miao also looked up, and asked later: "Brother, do you want to eat green dates? It's just that they are still a bit green and not too sweet, right?"

"Hit a few and try." Li Can said with some thoughts in his mind.

Li Miao found a long pole to repel birds and knocked down more than a dozen green dates. After picking it up, he wiped it on his clothes and fed it to Li Can to eat the next one.

Dates are not sweet, but there is a fragrance lingering in the mouth.

After a while, Li Can signaled him to feed him another jujube, and when he was about to speak after eating, his younger brother Li Miao said first:

"Brother, why didn't I see you spit out the date stone?"

Li Can raised his head and pointed with his chin: "Didn't you see that I spit out the roots of the tree? If you don't believe me, go find it."

Li Miao, who was in his teens, was naturally a child at heart, not only didn't believe it, but also squatted on the ground stubbornly to search for it.

After a while, he actually picked up a white melon seed and held it in his hand for a closer look.

"Brother, this looks like melon seeds, but it looks bigger and thicker." When Li Miao was about to walk back, Li Can suddenly said:

"There seems to be another one under your feet. If you look carefully, there may be more around."

Of course there will be more of them. Li Can secretly spit out these mutated first-order spiritual seeds on the ground. Otherwise, why let his younger brother push him around the yard several times?Isn't it because he didn't want to expose his secret that he used his younger brother's hand to pick up these mutated spirit species again?

Sure enough, one of the spirit seeds appeared in Li Miao's hands after a search, and he seemed to have found a great treasure, and he couldn't put it down to play with it.

"Brother, these seeds are heavy, and they feel icy cold when you hold them in your hand. Do you think I won't be afraid of the heat when I put them in a brocade bag to sleep?"

When Li Miao was young, an elder in the clan gave him a brocade bag containing peace blessings, which is now hanging around his neck. bag.

The brightly colored and rounded small stones by the lake, the small beads made from animal bones, and the small pearls eaten from river mussels are all his treasures. They are carefully guarded in brocade bags, and no one will touch them of.

In order to make the scene more real, Li Can deliberately said: "That can't be done, these shiny white seeds are so beautiful, naturally I have a share, and we share equally."

Li Miao naturally refused to do it, and immediately pulled out the brocade bag and put all these seeds in it, and then threatened: "If you dare to tell mother, I won't push you out to play in the future."

After some negotiations, Li Can took over a dozen green dates from his younger brother, and sent his brother away with the worthless dates. Li Miao happily agreed and completely forgot about looking for the date stones.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang came back from the market in a sheep cart.

"Mother," Li Miao greeted her happily. Every time my mother sold out the fruits at the market, she would buy some pastries, and now is no exception.

Mrs. Wang took out the oil-wrapped pastry from the goat cart and handed it to Li Miao, saying, "Clean yourself first before eating, and don't steal your brother's portion."

Li Miao responded and ran back to the house in a hurry.

The sheep cart is not big, so naturally it can't hold much goods. Li Can saw that there were still some unsold melons on the cart that were already sunburned, so he asked:
"Mom, can't you sell melons?"

While unloading the car, Mrs. Wang nodded depressedly and said: "There are only so many clansmen in the market, and there are still a lot left in exchange, but it doesn't matter, what can't be sold can be made into dried fruits, and sold to tourists passing by at the end of the month. Businesses are the same."

Li Can groaned and said, "I remember that there is a small town thirty miles away? There are tens of thousands of residents there. Didn't father collect good medicines before and send them to the city to sell in pharmacies? Why? Then there are no buyers in the city to buy fruit from us?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Li Can approvingly, and said with a smile, "My son is really smart and filial, and he knows how to take care of his mother to share difficulties."

"Actually, a few buyers came to the city a few days ago, but after seeing it, they were not very satisfied. Some said that the shape was uneven and the color was not good-looking. Some even negotiated the price but regretted it after tasting it. It’s too watery and not too sweet.”

Li Can nodded, remembering that in the previous test results, the brix content of the pulp was only 6, which is indeed not considered sweet, but the brix content of cantaloupe pulp reached 10, and the brix content of the pulp reached 12 or more, which was considered normal.

It seems that when the temperature is right at this time, the mutated cantaloupe must be planted immediately, and I hope that after the fruit falls, it will bring surprises to myself.

Thinking of this, Li Can immediately said: "Mother, I think Miao'er is as dirty as a mud monkey. If I didn't have bad hands and feet, I would give him a bath. It seems that this matter can only be hard work."

Mrs. Wang also felt the same and naturally agreed. Fortunately, there was still some time before dinner, so Mrs. Wang picked up Li Miao, who had crumbs of snacks on her face, stripped her naked and put them into the water tank in the courtyard. .

"Mother, do you see how dirty the brocade bag on my brother's body is? I can't even see his original color clearly." Li Can secretly pointed out.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang did not suspect him. After taking off the brocade bag, she was about to put it aside and wash the brocade bag after bathing Li Miao, but when she touched it, she found that it was bulging inside, so curiously, the mouth of the bag was facing down. Gently poured it down, and even poured out a lot of things.

"Mother, don't touch my baby." When Li Miao saw her mother pick up a white jade-colored melon seed, she immediately cried out in distress.

"Hey, what kind of seed is this? Just looking at the color, size and round shape, this kind of seed seems to be quite extraordinary!"

Li Can immediately said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, you betrayed me!" Li Miao yelled angrily.

　It's not easy for a newcomer, please collect, recommend and support, thank you all!
