Fragrance Returned

The lilac was less than a foot away from the bird's nest, and the Ganoderma lucidum next to the bird's nest that had haunted her was clearly displayed in front of her eyes.

The Ganoderma lucidum is a little bigger than her six small palms, black and purple, glowing in the bright moonlight.

Ding Xiang's heart beat a few times as the baby she dreamed of was so close.

The rope was tied too tightly and could not be untied. Ding Xiang took out the scissors from the baggage and cut the rope. She stretched out her hand to pick off the Ganoderma lucidum, which Hou anxiously put into his arms.

If she can return home safely, her grandfather will be saved, and so will the family.

Without the Ganoderma lucidum in the way, Lilac found a purple gourd-shaped thing growing there, the shape and size of which were like her two small fists put together.

This is different from the real gourd. It looks a bit like the purple gourd in the cartoon Calabash Baby, only much smaller.

Lilac picked off the small gourd. The small gourd is purple with a hint of red, and there are some thin roots at the mouth and bottom of the gourd. Holding it under her nose and smelling it, the smell was fragrant and bitter, somewhat like the ginseng she had smelled in her previous life, and slightly stronger than that.

It grows on this tree, grows next to Ganoderma lucidum, and smells so good, so it should be a good thing.

She put it in her arms again.

With the good baby in her arms, she is now interested in observing this place.

This mountain depression is made of piled rocks. It is open at the top and narrow at the bottom. You can see Jitou Peak when you look up.

The stone is dark brown and shiny, with strange textures.

This dead tree grew out of a gap in a stone wall, about fifty or sixty meters away from the Jitou Peak above.

There is a stone wall thirty or forty meters away from the top, with a circle of soil in the middle, and the apple tree in the dream grows diagonally.

There are many apples hanging on the tree, and most of the fruits are red. The fruit is huge, bigger than any apple Lilac has ever seen in this life, and almost the same as the largest Red Fuji in her previous life.

A stone wall was about twenty or thirty meters high, and a small piece of unknown twisted dead vines crawled out from the cracks in the stone. The vines are very thin, the thickest one is a little thicker than an adult's thumb, and the thin branches are like willows. I don't know whether it was due to the passage of time or being struck by lightning or burned by fire. It turned black, like charcoal.

Ding Xiang has never seen such a strange vine in his two lives. It might be some ancient plant. Like this dead tree, I dare not say that it will live as long as heaven, but it is still possible for thousands of years.

Ding Xiang happily touched the Ganoderma lucidum in her arms. Grandpa was saved.

She wasn't afraid that rats, snakes or the like would suddenly emerge from the cracks in the rocks. Leopard eagles specialized in eating these things. It is not easy for large wild animals to climb so high, so she is relatively safe for now.

The Lilac Man had short legs and couldn't get down from the dead tree, so he pointed at the apple tree and shouted, Bring the apples.

Feifei was very smart and flew to the tree and brought an apple in his mouth.

Dingxiang took it, clamped Feifei's little head under her arm, broke off a small dead branch, shook it and said, I want this, this, branch.

Feifei went to bring another apple.

Lilac threw the apple away, shook the dead branch in her hand, put the dead branch into its mouth, and pointed to the apple tree.

Feifei figured it out, flew over and bit off an apple branch.

The branches are a bit big, with branches and leaves on them, and two apples hanging on them.

She got what she deserved, and she didn't dare to delay any longer.

Ding Xiang happily pinched Feifei under her arm. He only broke off a small branch, wrapped three apples in cloth, and tied the fishing net with rope.

As soon as she tied the safety rope, she heard the roar of some wild animal. She looked up and saw a black bear lying on the top of the stone wall on the side of the apple tree, roaring at her.

Ding Xiang was so frightened that she pointed in the direction of Liuwa Village and shouted, Quick, go, fly...

Feifei also felt that danger was approaching, so he picked up the fishing net in his mouth and flew up.

Flying out of the mountain valley, over the black bear, and then across the mountains and rivers, they arrived at the sky above Liuwa Village.

The crow of chickens came from several yards.

It's almost dawn.

They landed in Zhang's courtyard.

The big yellow dog opened his eyes and saw them, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Dingxiang cut the rope with scissors, hung up the fishing net, cleaned the battlefield, and placed the apple that Feifei had pecked with her mouth under the eaves, letting Feifei lie down beside it.

Ding Xiang quietly entered the room, where Ding Liren was sleeping soundly.

She hid the Ganoderma lucidum, the small gourd, the branches, and the two apples in the baggage in the kang cabinet, then changed into the clothes she wore yesterday and ran out.

Make noise on purpose.

She hugged Feifei and exclaimed loudly, Feifei is back again, so great! Yeah, he also came back with a red apple in his mouth. Feifei, why are you so good...

Feifei looked at her blankly, meaning she could really pretend.

Ding Xiang's voice attracted everyone except Zhang Qian.

what happened?

What happened?

Ding Xiang raised a big red apple with both hands and said, Feifei was going out at midnight last night. I thought it wanted to go home, so I opened the door and let it fly away. I just heard its voice and ran out to see Feifei came back again. He even came back with a big red apple in his mouth.

Under the moonlight, the apple was big and red, with a hole in it.

Everyone was extremely surprised.

Zhang Laozhang held the apple and made a tsk tsk sound in his mouth, This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a big, red, and handsome apple.

Then, Zhang Dabao, Yu Shi, Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Yu, Zhang Jinshan, Zhang Jinshi, and Ding Liren all took a look at it and talked in disbelief.

Where did it come from?

It's not an apple from the fairy world, is it?

It's really amazing.

…

Ding Xiang said, Grandpa, my father said apples represent peace. I want to take Feifei and half of the apples home so that my father can be safe and not die.

It means leaving half of the apples for your family so that you can be safe too.

Ding Liren jumped up happily, I also want to go back to see you safe.

The condor brings peace, which is really a good sign.

The Zhang family all hopes that the Ding family can survive this test, and they also hope that the red apples sent by the Shenying will make their family safe and prosperous.

They have no idea of ​​plundering the leopard eagle at all, and they only have infinite respect for it.

Zhang Laozhang said, Send the little brother and sister back to give them apples. If the Ding family is busy, bring the children back and don't cause trouble there.

Everyone put the apple on the big table in the main room, kowtowed three times to the apple, and then cut it into two pieces.

Originally, Feifei wanted to put Feifei on the table and worship him, but Feifei, apart from being gentle to Xiangxiang, was indifferent and wary towards everyone and did not dare to force it.

Ding Xiang added, Listen to my dad, apple seeds can grow apple trees. If you eat apples and plant the seeds, apple trees will grow and bear lots of big red apples.

Grandpa Zhang shook his head and said with a smile, A little kid doesn't know how to make a living. Apple trees can't be grown so easily. It takes at least eight years from the seeds to the ground to the fruit. I don't know if this kind of apple can sprout. Why not do it? Some real work to fill my stomach.

It’s hard to say much about Ding Xiang. Some people are poor for a reason.
