The old man took the plate back in time, leaving Lu Qian nowhere to put it. If this precious fruit is thrown on the ground, even Lu Qian, who has always been reckless and reckless, can't do this kind of thing, and... She really likes it. This fruit.
The old man continued: "Although Meirenjiao is also a very beautiful fruit, it actually focuses on a'jiao'. It is only produced in a small country in the far south of the continent, and our big jade country does not produce it. In that There is a vast forest in the small country. In the center of the forest, there is a plain that looks like a pure land, on which only a few towering trees grow. These trees have a history of thousands of years. They are dense and lush, but they only produce one to one every year. Two fruits, on the top of the canopy, this is the beauty. Most of the trees will bear only one fruit during the year, but it cannot be picked. Once the whole tree is picked, it will die immediately, and it will be completely yellow within three days. , The naked eye can see its withering, which is extremely miserable. Only when two of them can be taken, one can be taken, and the remaining one will not affect the ancient trees. It is difficult to pick these fruits, not only because of its scarcity, but also The towering old trees, the most important thing is that every season when the beauty is about to mature, there will be countless animals from all directions, desperately looting the fruit, people can only guard against them as much as possible, but... the forest is their world It’s hard to guard against. Some people think they’re smart, slaughtering all the nearby animals before the fruit is ripe, or even fire and burn the forest to ensure the survival of this ancient tree, but the result is... There was no production there for 30 years. It’s amazing to make any beauty! It’s amazing, isn’t it? Therefore, every beauty is patience and wisdom, and more importantly, luck. It can pass through several times and finally reach our hands and become one of the most delicious foods in the world. One, it can be called... legend. Have you noticed that there is a mass of soil on this rhizome? It is the softest soil at the roots of the ancient tree, and it is also the most fertile soil. Only by wrapping it up like this and continuing to provide nutrients to the branches can the beauty Jiao Duo can be stored for a few days. But even so, the period from when the beauty leaves the branches to when it enters your hands must not exceed ten days, otherwise it will wither and become shriveled as if it has been left for a few months. pear."
After listening to Lu Qian, the corner of her eyes twitched, and she hurriedly dragged Mei Renjiao forward, a little reluctant to say: "Such a precious thing, I... I don't dare to eat it, what a pity it is to eat..."
"Don't dare?" The old man smiled softly: "Hehe, if you missed the opportunity to taste this delicious because of a momentary timidity, wouldn't it be even more pity? If it is left here, after ten days, it will wither and become dry. If it cannot be eaten, it will always be an abandoned fruit, worthless. But if you eat it, you will remember its taste, your body will absorb its nutrients, and you will also talk to others in the future. It will be passed on forever like this. Isn't this a better solution?"
Lu Qian pouted, and couldn't help saying: "The fruit will not think like a person, but if it really can think, I am afraid that what I want most at this time is not to be bitten and eaten by me, although only I can live a few more days, but there are still a few days!"
The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly. After a long laugh, he waved his hand and said: "Eat it, the fruit will naturally not think about anything, but if you don't eat it, I will have some thoughts, old man. You little Nizi received the gift from the old man but didn't come to the house for four years. It's not giving me face anymore. Now I don't even eat a piece of fruit, the old man's face will be wiped dry by you!"
Lu Qian smiled, scratching her head and said, "So...it seems right, the so-called gift from the elders, since I have to eat it..." Lu Qian swallowed and looked at the fruit in her hand and said with bright eyes: "Then I won't be polite to you anymore."
After speaking, it seemed that I was a little afraid of the old man regretting it, so I hurriedly bit into the fruit...
Hiss~
It is far not as hard as it looks, and it is bite like a ripe peach, full of juice flowing out, and even the sound of spraying can be faintly heard.
And the taste...
Lu Qian couldn't describe this kind of taste. After thinking about it for a long time, she only thought of the word'qingtian'.
Clear, like a sugarcane field in the cool summer, peel off the ripe black rod, bite into that piece of white, the purest and most fragrant sweetness rushes out, quench your thirst, relieve greed, and lie in the sugarcane field for a whole day Until the lips and teeth are red and swollen, I don't get bored.
Sweet, not full-bodied, but surpassing all sweetness. It is like a honeycomb on the edge of a plain of flowers. The bees brew the first batch of honey in a year. The amber is thick and sticky with fingers. It is completely disconnected, and it falls on the palm of the hand and quickly condenses into a round bead, just like the dew on the tip of rice. Lick it up in one bite, and you will taste happiness.
One bite, one bite, the huge fruit was eaten in half by Lu Qian in a short while.
Seeing her eating, the old man on the opposite side was full of doting and comfort, not happy.
But after Lu Qian had eaten half of it, she suddenly raised her head, desperately suppressing the thought of continuing to eat, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeves indecently, and then stared at the fruit in a daze.
The old man wondered: "Why don't you eat it? Although Meirenjiao looks big, but the water is heavy, you may not be full after eating two or three."
Lu Qian shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm full, it's just... I have to leave half for my brother."
The old man was taken aback, and then laughed again: "Well, you can eat that fruit. As for your brother, isn't there one left?"
Lu Qian's eyes lit up, and she imagined Lu Yu's surprise expression when she saw this fruit, and her heart was full of warmth. But he said with some embarrassment: "You only have two in total..."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man had eaten this thing in his early years. The so-called good things are rare, and the gifts cannot be enjoyed alone, otherwise it will not be beneficial to life. Now that I have tasted it, I already have its taste in my heart. It doesn't make much sense, just take it away when you leave."
He smiled when he saw Lu Qian finally continue to eat. When she finished eating, she licked her fingers like a kitten, and smiled even more. Then he asked, "Why are you here this time? Now? Can you say it?"
Lu Qian lowered her head awkwardly, but raised her head slyly to look at the old man, and then smiled: "You must already know what I'm here for, right?"
The old man smiled and said, "Oh? Why do you say that?"
Lu Qian smiled bitterly: "Otherwise... You won't tell me the origins of this beauty... Beauty, it's really beautiful and delicious, but really... it can be called the'fruit of evil'. …"
