Time is the most elusive thing.
When it walks slowly, a second can be stretched infinitely. When it walks fast, more than ten years have passed by looking back.
Lin Qian didn't know how many seconds she had passed, and she didn't know how many times she had looked back.
Now that she is standing in this world again, her time can be considered normal.
Lin's mother said she wanted to plant fruit trees, and Lin Qian took this matter to heart. The next day, she drove her parents to the seedling market to select fruit trees.
Tomorrow is Arbor Day, which is a good time to plant trees.
This is Lin Jiantou's first visit to the seedling market. Both sides of the six-meter-wide asphalt road are lined with stalls set up in greenhouses. There are many saplings in front of each greenhouse, and photos of the saplings after they have grown up and bear fruit are hung on them.
Trucks often stop on the roadside, carrying trees one by one, some being transported to the market, and some being transported out of the market.
Lin Qian parked the car in a parking space reserved for small cars, and then took her parents along the roadside to look at each house.
The closer to the entrance and exit of the market, the more bulk transactions are done.
Father Lin's signboard said pomegranate tree, so he opened his mouth and asked, "How to sell pomegranate seedlings?"
"Which one do you want?" The stall owner came over with lunch to discuss business, "Are you selling fruit or landscaping?"
Father Lin put his hands behind his back, "I plan to sell pomegranates."
"Then look at this kind of pomegranate with soft seeds." The stall owner took out two pomegranate seedlings from a bundle and handed them to Dad Lin with one hand. "This variety has a beautiful fruit shape and tastes good."
She took two more bites of rice while Lin Qian and her family were studying saplings. "If you want more varieties, look at the ones next to them. The ones next to them are seedless." The stall owner asked: "Boss, your family used to What kind did you plant?”
Father Lin put down the sapling in his hand, "My family didn't grow pomegranates before."
"Oh." the stall owner said, "Then you have to buy my saplings. Look at my saplings. They are two centimeters thick. You can plant them directly after buying them. It is quite easy."
After seeing the first store, Lin's father was a little excited when he said, "Tell me the price."
"How much do you want to take?"
Dad Lin: "Listen to what you mean, if you take more or take less, the price will be different?"
The stall owner is a down-to-earth person, "It's definitely different, boss. We are all doing business. I don't need to go around so much with you. If you get more, I will definitely give you a discount."
Father Lin turned to look at Mother Lin's face, considered it, and said, "Bring me five."
The stall owner forgot to chew half of the eggs he had just bitten into his mouth, "Oh, you only need five for so many, I don't sell them here."
The stall owner added, "We don't sell retail in this row. You go to 205 in the second row. That one is mine too. Ask my husband to get some for you."
Mother Lin glared at Father Lin.
This is not the first time Father Lin has come to the seedling market. He bought all the fruit saplings on the mountain from here. Mother Lin thinks he should know the rules here.
But how could Father Lin remember so much? Besides, he was not in a hurry, and he would not waste anything by saying a few words.
Thanks to the stall owner for his kind information, the family bypassed the first row and started shopping from the second row.
As soon as I arrived here, it was obvious that this place was busier than the first row.
Dad Lin: "Look where 205 is."
Mother Lin: "You are really obedient."
"What do you mean by being obedient?" Father Lin retorted, "We're all here, who's watching?"
"Then why don't you look at the first family?"
"Okay, okay." Father Lin took Mother Lin and went to the front house.
Lin Qian wandered behind the two people, taking out some snacks from her pocket to eat.
I looked at them one by one, and every stall owner said they were very good. The fruits in the photos were also big and beautiful, but these things were all meant to deceive the uninitiated.
Father Lin prides himself on being an expert. No matter what happens when he goes in, he first stares at the saplings.
It seemed that he didn't want to buy it after looking at it. Mother Lin asked him which one was better. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Look again, look again."
In the first half hour, Mother Lin was still interested in looking around and asking questions, but the further she walked to the back, the more impatient she became. Father Lin, on the other hand, was doing the opposite, getting more and more excited the further he walked to the back.
After walking for another half hour, Father Lin finally got a few saplings in his hands, but he still wanted to go shopping.
"Go by yourself." Mother Lin pulled Lin Qian and sat down on the curb, "I can't walk anymore."
Father Lin couldn't believe it, "It's only a few steps away? Shopping is better than working in the fields!"
Mother Lin: "Working in the fields is better than going shopping with you. It's not interesting at all. You can go and play by yourself. Aqian and I will wait for you in the car."
"Hey, what's so fun about walking by myself?" Father Lin was about to say something nice and asked Mother Lin to continue walking with him, but he heard the chirping sound coming from behind, "Master, you can't see me If you can’t help me, please help me.”
"No, no, I have my principles. Your evil spirit is too strong and I can't change it. Don't delay me from doing my business."
There were two men talking, one fat and one thin. The fatter one chased the thinner one, pleading continuously, "Please help me, I can afford it no matter how much money it takes."
"Okay, okay!" The man who was being chased seemed to be unable to bear the other party's entanglement, and was finally willing to compromise, "You go back and prepare things first, cinnabar, gold foil, and five gold ingots weighing at least 80 taels.
After I buy the tree, I will solve your problem. "
The fatter man smiled apologetically and said, "I'm going to call someone to prepare the things. I'll follow you. Give me a chance and let me pay for it."
The two seemed to have discussed it, but Father Lin and Mother Lin were still confused. "What's going on?" Father Lin whispered, "Why does it sound a little unlucky?"
Lin Qian looked at the other side of the road at this time. There was an acquaintance there. Lin Qian had met him when she first met Liu Baihua.
He came here wearing protective gloves on both hands.
However, he was not directed at Lin Qian, but at the fat and thin people.
"Wait!" He grabbed the master, "What's your name?"
Not only was the master being held back, but the person next to the master was also confused, "Who are you!"
Wan Qing had been moving trees across the road. He had a keen sense of hearing and was particularly sensitive to certain words, so when they talked about evil spirits, Wan Qing stopped and stared at the two people.
What is evil spirit?
Before the immortal science popularization, only Green Mountain dared to suppress that thing. Nowadays, those practitioners still have psychological shadows about the evil spirit, but this person arrogantly said that only cinnabar, gold foil and a few gold ingots can change the evil spirit. It is really arrogant.
He is so arrogant that the word liar is clearly written on his face.
Wan Qing held the master's hand and said to the man who was protecting the master, "You have been deceived."
The master chuckled, "Since you call me a liar, you can take care of his family's evil spirit."
The master tried to shake off Wan Qing's hand, but couldn't.
"What's the matter with you? We're talking about our affairs. Why are you rushing over to stir up trouble?" The man grabbed Wan Qing's wrist again, "Let go!"
