Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 13: meet

    Lu Lingxi's handover work was very smooth. The scale of micro gardening is not large, and there are not many things to be handed over. It is nothing more than how to take care of the flowers and plants in the store. These Du Lin are very assured of Lu Lingxi. She is a little older in her pregnancy, so she doesn't plan to come to the store often after the handover, and plans to be a shopkeeper.

    After leaving the mobile phone number and home phone number to Lu Lingxi, Du Lin gave Lu Lingxi the working capital in the store, packed up and left. She was not worried that Lu Lingxi ran away with the money. First of all, Lu Lingxi was someone Yi Hang knew. Although they were playful, they were still trustworthy. Second, Lu Lingxi left a great impression on Du Lin in just two short encounters. It wasn't obvious when we met yesterday, and today I don't know if it was because of the severe morning sickness. Du Lin was originally a little irritable, but after standing beside Lu Lingxi for a long time, her mood inexplicably calmed down.

    As soon as Du Lin left, Yihang was liberated. He sat carelessly on the rattan chair at the entrance of Micro Gardening, and imitated the customers who came to shout loudly: "Boss, bring up the most expensive flowers here."

    Lu Lingxi was watering the flowers in the store with a small kettle, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

    Yi Hang was bored alone, and habitually went to Lu Lingxi's side, when a customer came in at the door. "Welcome!" Yi Hang responded very quickly, and only halfway through the call did he realize that he was an acquaintance, Brother Cheng, whom he had just met yesterday.

    Brother Cheng saw Lu Lingxi at a glance, and said in surprise: "Xiaoxi, where is Boss Du?" Lu Lingxi left a deep impression on him, he still remembered Du Lin called the young man in front of him, Xiaoxi, and he called came out.

    Lu Lingxi put down the kettle in his hand and explained: "Sister Du is going home, I will be in the store during this time."

    "That's good!" Brother Cheng said happily behind him, "Old Han, hurry up."

    As Brother Cheng's voice fell, a man of his age walked in with a pot of Clivia. Brother Cheng grabbed him and introduced: "Old Han, let me tell you, don't look at Xiaoxi's youth, he is not small at all. You know that my family's pot of rhododendrons has fallen off, Xiaoxi can see what's wrong at a glance, it's amazing. Come on. Come and see, Xiaoxi, can this pot of Clivia be saved?"

    The man known as Lao Han was very cooperative, and immediately held the Clivia in his arms to Lu Lingxi.

    Normal Clivia leaves are dark green and shiny. July is the flowering period, and the flowers should be blooming. But the Clivia in front of me only sparsely opened a few small flowers, and the leaves were withered and yellow. Lu Lingxi's eyes fell on the rhizome of Clivia. There were white jugular hyphae wrapped around the rhizome, and some hyphae were tangled together and formed into small reddish-brown pieces.

    The white panel appeared as Lu Lingxi scanned.

     Botanical Name: Clivia

    Plant Needs: White Silkworm Treatment

    Plant Viability: Very Low

    Lu Lingxi stared at the extremely low brows displayed by the plant's viability, and he didn't know if he could be saved.

    Old Han saw his face and smiled bitterly: "Is it not possible?"

    Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Why don't you leave it here, I'll try."

    When he said this sentence, he had no idea at all. From the panel, most of the rhizomes of this Clivia have rotted away. Although he saw the symptoms of this Clivia through the panel, how to treat it is still a problem.

    Old Han's eyes lit up when he heard the word "try", and looked at Lu Lingxi gratefully. Lu Lingxi carefully put the flowerpot on the ground. He still needs to check the information on how to treat it.

    Old Han and Brother Cheng were sent away, Yi Hang took a look at the Clivia. Even if he didn't understand anything, he could see that this Clivia was probably dying. "Thirdest, are you sure?" Yi Hang's worries are sincere. After all, this is Lu Lingxi's first day at work. What if there is any bad impact if he can't be saved?

    Lu Lingxi shook his head, he was not sure, but he couldn't do anything if he watched this Clivia wither.

    White silk disease is one of the common diseases of Clivia, which damages the base of half leaves and underground fleshy stems of Clivia. It is easy to deal with the disease in the early stage, but once it reaches the later stage, it will threaten the survival of the Clivia, and the serious plants will wilt or die. Lu Lingxi closed the documents in his hand and carefully removed the disease department according to the book. With the help of the white panel, he can easily see where the rotten roots and stems are, and he doesn't need to search for it tentatively. After removing the diseased part, he sterilized the rest of the base and placed the cuttings in sterile wet sand, waiting for re-rooting. This process is simple to say, but in fact, it is extremely cumbersome to operate and requires people's full attention and care.

     

    The thought flashed, and a line of prompts suddenly appeared on the white-faced panel.

    Success in the treatment of Clivia, reward Plant Heart +1, Force of Nature +1

    Lu Lingxi's eyes fell on the word "power of nature", and his expression was slightly surprised. He thought he already had a basic understanding of the white panel, what was this sudden power of nature? How is it different from the heart of a plant?

    New things are always easy to arouse people's interest, Lu Lingxi studied the panel for a long time. Fortunately, Yi Hang left at noon because he was bored. Now he is the only one in the store, and he is not worried about being found out that his behavior is weird. Unfortunately, no matter how he clicks on the panel, there is still no prompt on it. His understanding of the power of nature is still limited to these few words. Forget it, Lu Lingxi's bachelor thought that anyway, there will be a prompt on the panel when there should be a prompt, and now even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of it. After he figured it out, Lu Lingxi no longer struggled with the power of nature. He sat on a rattan chair and read the book he bought yesterday seriously.

    Lu Lingxi quickly adapted to the life in the store after one day. When he got home in the evening, Wang Shuxiu had already gone to work. The prepared dinner is placed on the table, as long as Lu Lingxi is hot. After dinner, Lu Lingxi went to the backyard again, and the little seedlings in the yard seemed to have grown a little taller. He touched the humidity of the soil, poured some water, and received a ten-point Heart of Plants reward.

     Bathing, reading, sleeping, the day goes by. In the next few days, Lu Lingxi began to meet new friends in his spare time. Micro Gardening has been running on this street for a year, and Du Lin used to be very popular. She went home to give birth, and it was not a secret that she had someone to watch the shop for her. These shopkeepers came to know Lu Lingxi soon after visiting.

    Lu Lingxi is good-looking, speaks politely, and he has an indescribable smell on him, everyone feels very comfortable with him. After a few days, Lu Lingxi had a good relationship nearby. The owners of a few small shops around like to tease Lu Lingxi when they have nothing to do. The children are young and tender, they blush when they are teased, and the whole person is pink and tender. Seeing their motherhood, they can't wait to go up and pinch.

    Among the surrounding stores, Lu Lingxi likes a pet store called "Angel Baby" across the road. The owner of the pet shop is a man in his thirties named Dong Zhi. Dong Zhiren is chubby and has a simple and honest personality. He is dubbed Dough by the people around him. Every time people around him tease Lu Lingxi, he will speak for Lu Lingxi. After going back and forth, Lu Lingxi quickly got to know him.

    Sometimes when I get tired of reading, Lu Lingxi will go to the pet store to stop by. Surprisingly, the animals in the pet store liked Lu Lingxi very much. Every time he appears, these animals are willing to get close to him. Occasionally, several cats and dogs inside would fight, and Dong Zhi couldn't control it. As long as Lu Lingxi appeared, the animals would become obedient. Dong Zhi once joked and asked Lu Lingxi if he would like to work for him. Compared with gardening stores, pet stores are suitable places for Lu Lingxi to stay.

    This kind of life was completely unimaginable by Lu Lingxi before. A healthy body, caring for his mother, new friends, and freedom at his own disposal are all things Lu Lingxi once dreamed of but could never get.

    Lu Lingxi was lying on the bed and rolled happily. Although the bed is very small now, when he was rolling, he still worried about whether he would roll to the ground, but he had never been like this before. happy. If it was a dream, he wished he could stay awake.

    Waking up the next day, it was overcast and stuffy. Before Lu Lingxi went to work, Wang Shuxiu asked him to bring an umbrella, fearing that it might rain during the day. Sure enough, in the evening, when I was about to get off work, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Although Lu Lingxi had an umbrella, he saw the rain and decided to wait for the rain to lighten before going home.

    Sitting on the rattan chair at the entrance of the store, Lu Lingxi felt the slightest coolness, and looked at the water splashing on the ground outside through the window. There was a sudden slamming of the brakes, and a black Jaguar stopped at the entrance of the pet store opposite. The door of the car opened, and a man vaguely got out of the car with something in his arms and entered the pet store.

    Lu Lingxi glanced at the black Jaguar. He always felt that this car seemed familiar, and he had seen it somewhere before. Before he could remember where he had seen this car, he heard a mournful howl from the pet shop opposite, so loud that it even covered the sound of rain outside.

    "Be careful, be careful."

    In the pet store, a large pure black dog was lying on the operating table, its forelimbs could not exert any strength, it was probing on the edge of the operating table, looking bloody. Two little nurses were nervously surrounding the operating table, holding tools such as tweezers to clean up the big dog. But as long as they dared to approach, the big dog would straighten up and let out a low growl, warning them not to come.

    "What should I do?" The little nurse looked at Dong Zhi in a panic.

    Dong Zhi glanced at the man who brought the dog over in embarrassment. The man is very tall, at least one meter over eighteen, with a strong build and handsome appearance, and a black suit does not look cheap. Maybe it was because he had hugged the dog, the hem of the man's clothes was stained with a lot of muddy water, but he didn't seem to care about it, and kept staring at the black dog on the operating table.

      After a while, the white sheets on the operating table had been dipped into black. Just don't know who hit the dog? Dong Zhi glanced at the man and ruled out the suspicion of a man. Generally, a stray dog ​​like this is ruthless. If this man hits him, the dog's look at the man should be different.

    Dong Zhi thought for a while, then ordered: "Prepare an anesthetic, give it an injection first and then clean it up."

    "Good" the little nurse left in a hurry.

    Yan Yue stood there listening to their conversation, his eyes kept on the black dog on the operating table. As he drove by, the black dog, who was hit by someone unknown, was struggling to get up and get off the road.

    The car lights hit the black dog, and Yan Yue saw the other party's eyes. There is vigilance, alienation, and ruthlessness, but more of it is the desire to survive. Yan Yue couldn't tell what was going on. He seemed to be moved by the dog's eyes. He stopped the car, carried the dog into the car, and found the pet shop all the way.

    The black dog was very cooperative in the previous behavior, but when the little nurse took the scissors and tried to cut the tangled hair from the wound of the black dog, the black dog suddenly barked and refused furiously Get people closer. Yan Yue guessed that the black dog must have experienced some kind of injury before, so that it is full of vigilance against humans. It's a pity that he has never raised a dog before, and he doesn't know what to do in the face of this situation.

    The little nurse came over with anesthesia, and the black dog looked even more responsive. Hung back and growled angrily, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of movement, Yan Yue believed that it would definitely pounce.

    "What should I do?" The little nurse was about to cry in fright, and she went to the doctor in a hurry and said, "Why don't you let Xiaoxi come and try it, manager, remember that the puppies in our yard only need to see Xiaoxi is very obedient."

    Dong Zhi hesitated for a few seconds, "Okay, then I'll go to Xiaoxi to try." This dog's injury is too serious, if it can't be dealt with in time, it will be a lame man. It's hard enough to be a stray dog, and it's even harder to survive if you're lame.

     After Dong Zhi finished speaking, he smiled embarrassedly at Yan Yue, and hurried out the door with an umbrella.

    Yan Yue watched Dong Zhi cross the road to the gardening shop opposite, and soon, someone from the gardening shop followed Dong Zhi out. The rain was so heavy that Yan Yue couldn't see the face of the other party, but judging from the figure, the other party seemed to be young. As the two crossed the road, the appearance of the person who came fell into Yan Yue's eyes. Yan Yue and the other party were unexpectedly young, maybe even underage at all.

    "Xiaoxi." The little nurse called out happily.

    The teenager smiled shyly at the little nurse, and his eyes fell on the black dog on the operating table. He had obviously heard what happened, and without the little nurse's orders, he tentatively took a few steps towards the black dog.

    What surprised Yan Yue happened. The black dog, who had been manic and restless, didn't growl at the boy, but just bowed his body and watched the boy vigilantly, as if judging the boy's intentions. The teenager noticed the reaction of the black dog, paused slightly, did not move forward, but stopped in place. One person and one dog looked at each other, and after dozens of seconds, the black dog's bowed body slowly fell down, the hostility on his body was eliminated a lot, and his attitude became gentler.

    The intuition of animals is much sharper than that of humans. The black dog felt a very comfortable breath from the boy in front of him, and it wanted to get close to this breath.

    The boy saw the black dog's intention, walked carefully in front of it, and gently put his hand on its head.

    The black dog moved and let out a low whimper, not a warning but a kind of call.

    The boy smiled slightly, with bright eyes, and patted the black dog on the head. His fair and slender fingers ran through the knotted hair on the black dog's head, and he didn't dislike the dog's filth at all. The black dog narrowed his eyes comfortably, his attitude became docile, and he didn't care much about Dong Zhi who took the opportunity to approach it.

    While stroking the black dog, the teenager repeated softly: "It's alright, it doesn't hurt, just sleep."

    The black dog seemed to understand the boy's words and no longer struggled with Dong Zhi's anesthesia.

    A group of people surrounded the black dog on the operating table, but Yan Yue's gaze fell directly on the boy. His heart was turbulent, and he felt that he was really crazy. He watched the boy stroking the dog gently, and actually hoped that the boy's hand was on his head now.
