"Wang Wang."

Deep in the orchard, dogs bark annoyingly.

Du Ming, who was pruning the fruit branch, frowned, grabbed the cut fruit tree branch, and threw it at a black dog that was chasing a chicken: "Dahei, if you kill a chicken, I'll kill you!" Just eat your meat!"

"Woooo."

Dahei couldn't understand what he said, picked up the thrown branch, ran to the fork ladder, and kept wandering around.It seems that I can't pass the things thrown by the master to the master's hand, and I am very anxious: "Wow."

"Go away, I'll tie you up later. It's my fault for letting you go"

Standing on the fork ladder, Du Ming felt a little regretful.

Behind the village is a deep mountain, and wolves and wild boars have been frequenting these years.There used to be quite a few village dogs who used to be wild, ran into the deep mountains, but never came back.So those who raise dogs in the village tie their dogs at home.

Dahei was no exception, and was chained all the time.

In the past few days, looking at Dahei's old age, I couldn't bear it and let go of it.

There are many chickens, ducks and geese in the family, all of which are seedlings.Dahei doesn't eat these young chickens, ducks and geese, but likes to play with chickens, and several chickens were killed by him.

Now he regrets it, this black dog is too capable of causing trouble.

"Beasts can't understand human language, but Dahei was trained by the old man to be very sensible."

The orchard is surrounded by stinky orange trees, which act as a fence.Outside the fence, a middle-aged man was digging wild vegetables with a basket on his shoulders: "Why, Daming isn't going to go out anymore, and clean up these acres of orchard?"

"I don't plan to go out, Uncle Genchen"

Du Ming looked sad, and said with a smile: "There must be someone in the family, otherwise it is not a family."

There is an orchard at home that needs to be tended to, and the family herd of livestock needs to be fed.

There is also a younger sister who is going to college and going home on vacation, and also needs a head start.

If he is not at home, there will be no one in the house.

Half a month ago, Du Ming was still a migrant worker.After his grandfather passed away, Du Ming stayed at home after his funeral was handled.

"Old man, good luck"

How are you?
Du Ming didn't think so.

Grandpa is a bachelor. When he was 58 years old, he went to the market to sell peaches. When he met him who was kidnapped and escaped to beg, he brought him back home.

The following year, she brought back a younger sister who was two years younger than her.

After having grandchildren, grandpa worked harder. Relying on these few acres of orchards, he insisted on enrolling him in high school. Seeing that grandpa was getting older and unable to support the family, Du Ming voluntarily dropped out of school and left the opportunity to go to school to younger sister.

Last year, my younger sister was admitted to university, while Du Ming has been working outside.Seeing that the living conditions are gradually improving, grandpa can finally enjoy the blessings. Du Ming, who hadn't been home for three years, received a call that his grandpa had died of illness.
"You are all sensible children, it is not a loss for the old uncle to adopt you"

Yes, no loss.
Although the two brothers and sisters are not biological, they are very filial and sensible.The people in the village are all envious of grandpa.

"Uncle Genchen is digging wild vegetables?"

I don't want to continue this topic because he is very guilty.

"Yes, Daguang brought his wife home today"

When Uncle Genchen talked about this, his face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his old face were much less: "Da Guang has no skills, he worked outside for several years, and finally brought back a wife. Didn't even talk about one?"

The cost of getting married and having children is too high now.

Don't look at their mountainous nest, the bride price for engagement needs to be weighed, and the red ticket costs eight catties. It also requires a car and a house.

The point is that when marrying a daughter-in-law now, many women not only have too high demands on the dowry house, but also require the man to have both parents, be young, be able to make money, and be able to look after children
After graduation, under the introduction of enthusiastic villagers, he made several kisses, but all of them ended in failure.

I worked outside and met many girls.

There are also beautiful ones, but Du Ming, who sends home his salary every month, is a little "stingy" in love, and in the end, love always ends hastily.

"Who will appreciate my conditions?"

With a wry smile, Du Ming said, "Let's talk about it when we have the conditions. My current conditions can't delay others, right?"

"The cost of marrying a daughter-in-law is so high now, the older you are, the less advantage you have"

Uncle Genchen sighed: "Don't delay. Except for the poor family conditions, your conditions are pretty good in all aspects."

Du Ming is about 1.8 meters [-] tall, with a big frame and good looks.

This external condition is very attractive to girls.

Du Ming is very clear about pruning fruit branches.

No matter how good the external conditions are, it is only the first impression.

In this day and age, even an old man, as long as you have money, you can marry a beautiful girl.

If you have no money, even if you look better than Pan An, you are doomed to be a bachelor.

If there is only love, what should we do with daily necessities?
Girls are very realistic. Potential stocks?There is too much risk, how many poor people can turn themselves over and become rich?

Girls dare not gamble, and their families are even less willing to gamble.

"In the afternoon, there is a banquet at home. You and Daguang have been on good terms since we were young. We haven't seen each other very much in the past few years. Go to a bar for a drink."

Du Ming nodded: "I'll go if I have time."

This is the art of language, which obviously means rejection.

"Da Ming, you don't have to be so diligent. The fruit trees in this orchard are too old, they don't bear fruit very much, and have no economic effect. Your cousins ​​and uncles are not fuel-efficient lamps. You should also be careful."

In Dadu Village, the Du surname is a common surname.

Du Ming's grandpa is the head of Dadu Village.

His cousins ​​are also very prestigious in the village, and his cousins ​​are also prominent figures in the village.

After all, Du Ming was adopted. From their point of view, Du Ming is an outsider without the blood of the Du family.Even when grandpa's funeral was held, they thought Du Ming was an outsider and tried to prevent Du Ming, a dutiful son, from throwing the funeral basin.
He also threatened that Du Ming is not entitled to inherit all the inheritance of old man Du, that is, Du Ming's grandfather.
If not for a few well-known people in the village who came forward to speak for Du Ming, Du Ming would not be pruning fruit branches here at this time, and he would have been kicked out of the village long ago.

In the past few days, these cousins ​​and uncles always get together to drink and discuss things, but Du Ming is excluded.

It was obvious that they were deliberately isolating Du Ming. What they discussed was only a bad thing for Du Ming.

These days, they didn't look for trouble, but Du Ming believed that his cousins ​​and brothers would not let it go.

"them?"

Apart from relying on the large number of people, Du Ming was really not afraid of them.

Uncle Genchen also had good intentions, but Du Ming could only accept it: "Uncle, I will be careful."

"Dahei, you bastard, did you really take my words as a deaf ear?"

As soon as Uncle Genchen left, Du Ming saw a dead chicken in front of Dahei.
Suddenly, Du Ming's anger rose from his heart, he grabbed a stone and threw it at Dahei.

"Wow woof..."

Dahei ran out of the orchard with his tail between his legs: "You're so stingy, you don't give meat or bones on weekdays, and if I want to have a meat meal, will I still be beaten?"

"Beasts are courting death!"

Naturally, it was impossible for the stone to hit Dahei, the dog my grandfather had raised for ten years.

He just wanted to scare Dahei, so he picked up the stone and continued: "Get out!"

The stone was thrown out, but the stone was very sharp and scratched the palm of my hand.

"hiss"

Taking a deep breath, the flesh in the palm of his hand was opened, and blood gushed out.

Pulling the towel off his neck and wrapping it around his hands, Du Ming went straight to the village medical room.

What Du Ming didn't notice was that the ordinary dragon-shaped jade pendant around his neck, when he accidentally pulled the towel around his neck, the dripping blood was strangely absorbed and glowed green.

Dahei saw it from a distance, and kept barking at Du Ming: "Wow."

It kept barking, with its tail between its legs, as if it saw something terrible, and kept backing away.

"You bastard, didn't you just scare you, are you still excited?"

Pick up the cut branches on the ground, and chase after Dahei to fight.

Suddenly, a string of words and numbers popped up in front of my eyes.

"Toughness [0.1]"

"Essence of Life [0.2]"

"Strength [0.15]"

"Bearing strength [1]"

"Comprehensive Evaluation: Fruit Tree Fragments (Absorbable)"

Excessive blood loss, blurred vision?

Throwing away the wrist-thick branch in his hand, the words and numbers in front of his eyes disappeared.

Pick up another thicker branch, and the numbers appear again.
"Am I mutated?"

Du Ming was stunned.
