Only this green, not disappointing the spring

"Sister Da Nv, please bring the backpack over to let Grandpa Liu see it." Zhou Xiaoxi turned and instructed Zhang Da Nv.

"Grandpa Liu, since you know how to transplant fruit trees, I think flowers and plants are no problem for you. So I would like to ask you to help me figure out how to transplant this red thorn tree so that it can survive."

Old Man Liu just took a glance and then turned his eyes to his empty tea bowl.

Zhou Xiaoxi poured the tea attentively and handed it to him with a smile on his face. It was because of his bad mouth that he couldn't help teasing others. Now he had to be humble and humble to ask for help.

After tossing the girl a little, Old Man Liu finished the tea in the cup again before speaking:

"You broke these branches too early. It's still too cold now. It will be easier to keep them alive after about two months. Remember this. I will go with you to the mountain to select suitable branches. Keep them here first, and dig them up and transplant them when they grow roots."

You can tell he’s an expert just by listening to him!

In her previous life, Zhou Xiaoxi had also learned cuttings, but after all, the conditions at home were limited and she could not practice it well. Living in a building in the city, she could only plant in pots, and she envied those houses with small courtyards.

Now that he has plenty of land to develop, Zhou Xiaoxi wakes up every day with a smile full of anticipation and has no intention of sleeping in.

There is a saying: It’s not the alarm clock that wakes you up every day, but your dreams.

Just as Zhou Xiaoxi was about to get up and say goodbye, Old Man Liu suddenly pointed his finger towards the donkey shed.

"The donkey has been weaned, so you can take it home today. When I am well again in a couple of days, I will go to the mountain to cut a tree and make a cart for you. Remember to tell your uncle to come with me to the mountain, because I cannot carry such a heavy wood."

Zhou Xiaoxi's eyes lit up after hearing this. Oh my god, she was about to have her own mount, haha! From now on, she could ride a donkey cart around the village, saving her feet from running around every day.

"Great! Grandpa Liu, you can actually do carpentry. I seriously suspect that you are a hidden talent. Could it be that you are actually a peerless master who has hidden his identity and is tired of the disputes in the martial arts world and has come here to live in seclusion?"

Zhou Xiaoxi's imagination runs wild, and the more he talks, the more outrageous it becomes.

The only response she got was Old Man Liu rolling his eyes.

Well, okay, she was really curious whether the things described in novels like flying over eaves and walking on walls, and leaving no footprints in the snow were really true!

"Donkey Xiaohua, here I come! We are finally going home, hahaha!"

Only at this time did Zhou Xiaoxi act like a child. Li Shoucai looked at her lovingly.

Years ago, Lu Deshui's wife gave birth to a donkey. Since then, Zhou Xiaoxi would bring delicious food to the kid from time to time.

I even gave it a name early on - Donkey Little Flower, because there was a tuft of white hair in the middle of the donkey's eyebrows that looked like a small white flower.

Donkey Xiaohua is only three months old, but already very human. It looked back at its parents, turned around a few times, and was obviously reluctant to leave.

Zhou Xiaoxi comforted:

"Xiao Huahua, don't worry. Tell me when you miss your parents, and I'll take you to see them anytime. I'll also bring lots of delicious food. How about coming with me?"

Old Man Liu was very pleased to see Zhou Xiaoxi talking to the donkey seriously. The person who understood him the most was the girl in front of him.

He has lived half his life without children, and has always treated Donkey Deshui as a family member. Except for Zhou Xiaoxi, no one else can buy his donkey!

"I'll make you a saddle someday. Put it on your donkey, Xiaohua, and you can ride it everywhere. You're very light, so it won't be a big deal for it, but you must never let anyone else ride on you!"

Zhou Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly, fearing that the other party would go back on his word.

Li Shoucai was jealous watching from the side. He wondered when he would be able to find a way to get around.

……

Kangyang County.

Shangguan Yunxin's injuries have almost healed, so there is no problem for him to set off now.

But Baili Nanqing was in a dilemma.

Reason told her that it was best to go back to her parents' home for a while, but emotionally she was very eager to see her biological daughter.

However, the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. If she insists on going to Shancang County, it is very likely that she will bring danger there. She absolutely cannot accept the danger that her daughter has brought to her before they even meet.

Picking up the handkerchief to wipe away the tears that were flowing out, she said with difficulty:

"Xin'er, let's go to your grandparents' house instead. Nothing is more important than Qingyue's safety."

Shangguan Yunxin felt very guilty. If it hadn't been for saving her, the assassins who came last time would have been captured alive and maybe they could have interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes.

She is still too weak!

It would be a good opportunity for her to go to her grandparents' house and have a good exchange with her cousins, hoping that her skills could be improved.

Just as she was about to answer, she heard a knock on the door.

The guard outside the door said:

"Madam, Miss, the second young master is here."

Baili Nanqing was surprised and immediately stood up to open the door, but her hands were shaking so much that she could hardly open the bolt.

Seeing Shangguan Lan, she continued to look back without giving up, but when she found nothing, she turned back into the house disappointedly. She didn't even pay attention to her own son the whole time.

Shangguan Lan had nothing to understand. He held his chest with his hands and said with a hurt expression:

"Mom, were you looking for my little sister just now? You didn't even give your son a glance from beginning to end. I'm so sad!"

Baili Nanqing gave her son a big eye roll.

"What's so good about you, you little brat! Oh, I was confused. How could you bring Yue'er here when it's so dangerous?"

After telling Shangguan Lan the decision he had just made, Baili Nanqing planned to leave immediately.

Seeing the deep reluctance in his mother's eyes, Shangguan Lan suddenly said:

"Mom, I have thought of a way to let you see your sister."

"What? Hurry up and tell me! Of course, the premise is that it won't bring any danger to your sister, otherwise you'd better shut up now."

Tsk, he's still as domineering as ever!

Shangguan Lan did not dare to beat around the bush. He looked around and found that there were no servants present, so he lowered his voice and said:

"You should disguise yourself and quietly leave here and head to Shancang County. For safety reasons, you can stay in the county for a few more days. The village will hold an art appreciation party soon, and Brother Zi'an will take you there then."

"What about you?"

The reason why Baili Nanqing was hesitant was that he suspected there was a traitor around him. Otherwise, why would the person behind him know his travel route so well?

"I'll find someone with a similar body shape to you to dress up as you, and my sister and I will go to my grandparents' house instead."

This is a good idea, provided, of course, that things can be done seamlessly.

In the end, to be on the safe side, Baili Nanqing did not leave first, but waited until the third day after Shangguan Lan and his party left before leaving Kangyang County.

Following her were two secret guards that the Baili family had trained since childhood. When Shangguan Yunxin was injured, the secret guards did not take action. They would only show up when their master's life was in danger.

Apart from the family members, even the maids and servants who served them closely were unaware of the existence of the secret guards. Their purpose was to attack them by surprise.
