"No," Yuan Ning was a little embarrassed, "I have picked a lot of seeds, can you give me some small bags to separate them? Mr. Lian, as you said, different flowers are suitable for different methods of raising seedlings. I want to write down their names and go back and plant them separately."

Yuan Ning's words surprised Mr. Lian.The flowers in that greenhouse are the most spiritual. If it weren't for meeting someone you like, you would never give your seeds easily. Could Yuan Ning get many kinds?Mr. Lian said: "There are paper bags and labels where you enter the door, and you can use them to distribute the seeds."

Yuan Ning thanked Mr. Lian, and then ran to the greenhouse.Luan Jia felt itchy and extremely curious.He asked Mr. Lian: "Can we go in now? Ningning seems to have picked all the seeds, right? Let's help him pretend!"

Mr. Lian paused, nodded and said, "You can go in." After speaking, Mr. Lian also stood up and walked to the greenhouse.When he walked to the door of the flower house, Mr. Lian was really surprised, because almost every plant had a handful of seeds piled up under it. Although it is not a lot when viewed separately, it is definitely a lot when added up!Yuan Ning hadn't been in the greenhouse for a long time, so he could get all the plants to give him their seeds?Mr. Lian remembers that once a worker wanted to secretly pick some fruit and plant it back. As a result, the fruit rotted as soon as it was picked, and the branch also withered.

The temperament of these plants is not small!

Zhang Xiuyan glanced at the side, walked to Yuan Ning and took some paper bags to help Yuan Ning pack.With the help of Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning only needs to copy the name of the flower on the label.Luan Jia ran up to ask what to do, and also cooperated with Huo Sen.

The bagging speed is greatly accelerated.

Zhang Xiuyan collected all the paper bags filled with seeds and found that the weight was not small.He glanced at Yuan Ning, and said to Mr. Lian apologetically, "Yuan Ning is ignorant, he picked so much all at once."

Mr. Lian waved his hand and said, "I asked him to go in and pick them. It's the fate between him and them that he can pick so many." Mr. Lian looked at the flowers and trees in the greenhouse, "They are willing to give their seeds to you." you."

If Yuan Ning hadn't been used to seeing some animals and plants as friends, Zhang Xiuyan might not be able to understand what Mr. Lian said.But after staying with Yuan Ning for two years, Zhang Xiuyan also vaguely felt that some flowers might really have spiritual wisdom.He touched Yuan Ning's head, asked Yuan Ning to thank Mr. Lian again, and took Yuan Ning to leave the farm.

Yuan Ning had to catch the train back.

Yuan Ning stuffed all the seeds into his backpack, stuffed it full, and left all the materials he had memorized to Zhang Xiuyan, asking Zhang Xiuyan to help him send them back.His backpack was too small, so naturally he couldn't hold that much. Luan Jia and Huo Sen both went to buy a bag and helped Yuan Ning stuff all the seeds into it. The three of them got on the train with their bulging backpacks on their backs and set off for the return journey. .

After Yuan Ning and the others left, Mr. Lian walked around the greenhouse for a while with a cane, went to the right side of the greenhouse and made a call, asking the person on the other end of the phone to come over.After hanging up the phone, Mr. Lian slowly walked out of the greenhouse and walked towards the lake.Around a huge rock, Mr. Lian walked down the cobbled steps, stood on the shore of the lake, put away his crutches, and looked at the calm lake in a trance.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man walked up behind him, still wearing a daytime shirt and suit, exuding a serious and majestic aura of a superior.The middle-aged man stepped down the steps and wondered: "Why are you standing here in a daze? Did something interesting happen again?"

Mr. Lian didn't speak, he raised his hand lightly, and the white air in front of him slowly dissipated, revealing the surface of the lake as clear as a mirror.The soft waves on the lake gradually dissipated, and the mirror-like surface of the water appeared not long ago, which was the dialogue between Yuan Ning and the flowers.This piece of water is called the "mirror of all things", which can record some things and convert what they said into a language they can understand.The middle-aged man stood beside Mr. Lian, watching Yuan Ning make a request to the flowers.

So far, the middle-aged people feel that everything is normal. At most, they just think that the child in the water mirror is naive, and he will make a request to the plant in a rigid manner!But what happened next made the middle-aged man rarely show a shocked expression.

That child was talking to those flowers and trees!

God, is that really an ordinary flower?To be able to say that kind of words—to be able to discuss freedom and reality—and more importantly, that child can actually hear these flowers and plants talk, and can communicate with them!Middle-aged people feel that all this is too unreal-is that really an ordinary child?

After all, the middle-aged man is a person in a high position. Even after seeing such an incredible thing, he still quickly calmed down: "This is why you asked me to come here?"

Mr. Lian nodded.He said: "This child should also be a 'keeper of the spring'." Mr. Lian looked back at the middle-aged man, "Just like me." thing.What Qiyu left to him was the lake in front of him, dormant among the mountains and wild, exuding bursts of warmth all the time.

Middle-aged people know the meaning of "spring guard".His expression became serious.He and Mr. Lian were classmates and friends. They were both young 20 years ago, when a series of natural and man-made disasters broke out in the country, including famine, epidemic disease, and various disasters.This land seems to have lost the favor of the heavens, becoming barren and desolate, and everyone's face is full of sadness caused by hunger and poverty.

At that time, Mr. Lian helped many people, but he became more and more unable to do what he wanted. Some people felt resentful because they did not receive Mr. Lian's help, and sneaked into Mr. Lian's house in the middle of the night to rob.

As a result, Mr. Lian woke up midway and bumped into them.

Those gangsters were so vicious that they picked up the sharp knife in their hands and stabbed Mr. Lian.The scar on Mr. Lian's face is from that time.He was living next to Mr. Lian at that time, and rushed over when he heard the movement, and saw Mr. Lian lying quietly in a pool of blood, the clothes on his chest were stained red, but the hideous and terrible wound was healing.

That scene was so wonderful that the middle-aged man still hasn't forgotten it.Seeing that Mr. Lian had no strength at all, it took a long time before he moved his fingers and moved towards the fragments of the jade pendant on the ground.

Mr. Lian picked up the pieces one by one, and only told him his secret when he was finished.It turned out that he got a spring by accident, and the spring water in that spring can make food grow quickly.He soaks the seeds in spring water every day, plants them in the yard, and gets a good harvest in the morning.Relying on such a spring, he never lacks food here, and still has spare energy to help others.

The middle-aged people still remember what Mr. Lian said at the time: "For things like relief, you can save hunger and disease, but you can't save people's hearts."

A very timely rain fell that year, which refilled the dry river and brought new life to the long-dried mountains and fields.Of course, none of this attracted too many people's attention.

Because all eyes are on something else.

That autumn was a good harvest season. Scholars doing research on Qiongdao found out a breeding method to double the yield. The grain produced in the trial planting area could feed more than half of the people in Huaguo.Although the taste is not very good and the texture is a bit unbearable, no one will starve to death because of the famine.

Everything was getting better, but Mr. Lian went to the countryside to buy this large area, and buried the jade pendant fragments he had picked up in the soil.The middle-aged man still remembers Mr. Lian's serious and solemn expression at that time, as if what was buried was not a broken jade pendant, but his very important friend.At that time, Mr. Lian confided to him the secret of being a "spring guard".

Middle-aged people have great interest in "spring".But with the experience of Mr. Lian, the middle-aged people know that if the existence of the "spring" is discovered, it will definitely bring great trouble to the "keepers of the spring".Although Mr. Lian's "spring" rescued Mr. Lian who stepped into the gate of hell, if it weren't for its existence, Mr. Lian would not have encountered that disaster.

At his position, there is no need to rely on that small spring to do anything.The middle-aged man stared at Mr. Lian: "What do you want me to do?"

Mr. Lian made a request that did not surprise the middle-aged man: "Don't let him be disturbed." The child is too kind, and if he sees other people's sadness or pain, he will definitely not stand idly by.Mr. Lian looked at the middle-aged man, "Including you."

The middle-aged man said: "Although I pursue rights, I don't want to play a child's mind."

Mr. Lian's eyes were still locked on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man knew that Mr. Lian was asking for a clear answer from himself.He could only smile bitterly and said, "OK, OK, I assure you, no one will disturb him."

Mr. Lian turned his gaze to the lake.

The surface of the lake has returned to its original state, with soft waves rippling slightly.

For now, the promise of middle-aged people is enough.As for the future - in the future, the teenagers next to the child should have grown up and can protect the child well.

Hopefully that kid and his "spring" will thrive together.

Yuan Ning and his party got off the train, Luan Jia and Huo Sen took Yuan Ning home first.It was already dark, and their dinner was a train meal, which was not very tasty. Luan Jia picked and picked for a while before picking out all the vegetables she didn't eat and putting them on Huo Sen's plate.Luan Jia was still uncomfortable like this, and kept saying that she was cheated by Zhang Xiuyan!There was no such thing as a promised meal!Yuan Ning didn't have any requirements for food, he ate all of it, and was still full when he got home.

Seeing that Yuan Ning looked a little tired, Ms. Xue didn't ask too much detail, and softly asked Yuan Ning to go to rest first.

Yuan Ning obediently went upstairs.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Fu greeted him.Zhao Fu had a serious face and serious eyes: "That black-eared cat ran around, and picked a fruit for me every day... I've never seen that fruit before, and I don't know where it got it from. You Talk about it, keep it from being out all day..."

At this time, the floor-to-ceiling windows clicked, as if being gently pushed open from the outside.
