Chapter 200 Bamboo Elf
“bamboo!”
When Russell saw a small patch of plants inside and outside old Charlie’s yard, he immediately recognized it as bamboo, and it was not a tree but grass.
“My lord, do you know this strange tree?” Charles asked.
“This is not a strange tree, it’s just a special kind of grass.” Russell smiled and walked towards the small bamboo forest.
When it comes to Russell’s favorite plant, it is undoubtedly bamboo. When he was living on earth, he would go back to his hometown every weekend. For no other reason than to see a small bamboo forest planted in my hometown and hide in the bamboo forest to enjoy the wind.
Of course, I just like it.
We haven’t reached the point where we would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo.
However, it was indeed an unexpected surprise for Russell to find bamboo in the Youguang River Valley, or in the Black-rumped Snake Manor.
What’s even more gratifying is that when he touches the bamboo and feels it carefully, he can find that the entire bamboo forest exudes a faint and undetectable magical atmosphere. Not just one bamboo, but all bamboos.
Charles soon discovered this problem and his eyes widened in shock: “Sir, these bamboos are all Cordyceps. How many Cordyceps trees are there?”
“Don’t think too much.” Russell shook his head and said, “This is not an individual bamboo, but a bamboo forest is just one bamboo. The roots of the bamboo spread underground, and these bamboos all grow from one root.”
There are three main types of bamboo, cluster type, scattered type and mixed type.
The kind of bamboo in front of you is undoubtedly a scattered type of bamboo. The underground stems will extend outward to form bamboo whips, and then bamboo shoots will grow from the bamboo whips, and the bamboo shoots will grow into bamboos. It looks like each bamboo is growing individually, but it is actually one bamboo.
“Weird!” Charles exclaimed.
“Look quickly and see if you can find the bamboo fairy bug.” Russell ordered.
Everyone searched together, and soon found a green elf bug slightly longer and thicker than a finger at the roots of several bamboo trees in the center of the bamboo forest. It also had ring patterns on its body, leisurely and leisurely. lying on a dead leaf.
“Found it, sir!”
“good!”
Russell laughed, squatted beside the bamboo root, then took the jade powder he just brought from the knight guard’s hand, and sprinkled a little on the dead leaves.
The bamboo fairy insect instantly smelled the jade powder and began to squirm slowly, licking the jade powder in small mouths.
When he was licking vigorously, he suddenly stretched out a finger and bit it lightly, and a few drops of blood oozed out, mixed with jade powder, and he swallowed it.
In an instant.
The power of the contract is accomplished through the medium of blood in a mysterious and mysterious way.
A moment later, the bamboo fairy insect forgot about licking the jade powder. Instead, it raised its upper body and looked along its hand with eyes the size of sesame seeds. When it saw Russell with a slight smile, its young heart felt warm.
“Come on, little guy.” Russell waved.
The bamboo fairy insect immediately climbed into Russell’s hand, still raising his upper body and looking curiously at the friendly Russell.
“Congratulations, sir, I am blessed with an elf bug!” Upon seeing this, Charles immediately shouted loudly.
The people around him seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they followed the formation one after another. They flattered Russell wildly, saying “the dragon looked at him” and “praising the master” all the time.
Only old Charlie, after praising the old man, muttered in a worried voice: “Why did this strange tree turn into cordyceps? Can my yard and house still be inhabitable? I dare not cut down the cordyceps, otherwise the old man will I’ll whip him to death.”
However, old Charlie was still worried.
Russell had already patted the bamboo fairy bug gently, and then said softly: “Little guy, put the cordyceps away, let’s go home!”
In an instant, all the bamboos in this small bamboo forest began to shake. The bamboo shoots and bamboo poles all began to shrink, and then the ground began to shake. In the end, such a bamboo forest turned into a slender bamboo rice. Falling into the mouth of the bamboo fairy insect.
“It’s amazing. There are so many bamboos, but they are just one Cordyceps sinensis tree.” Charles admired to himself.
Russell had already climbed onto his horse. Before leaving, he waved his hand and said, “Who discovered the bamboo?”
Old Charlie, who was happy that the cordyceps had been taken away and that he could grow vegetables in his yard, did not react. Black Pete, the commander of the camp behind him, immediately kicked him lightly, and then smiled shyly at Russell: “Master, it’s him, “Old Charlie!”
Charles also added: “It was indeed old Charlie. When he came to the office, he found me and discovered the bamboo cordyceps.”
“Very good, old Charlie, you found the bamboo to your credit.” Russell smiled slightly and said, “I will reward you with a gold coin!”
“Ah!” Old Charlie shouted, stunned on the spot.
Not to mention old Charlie, even the serfs surrounding him were all stunned by Russell’s generosity.
A gold coin! One hundred silver coins, ten thousand copper plates!
The reward that old Charlie received at one time was more than the reward Russell gave to the serfs of the entire manor during the festival!
“Anyone who discovers a magical creature and reports it to the office in time will definitely receive a generous reward.” Russell rode on the back of a war horse, overlooking the shocked serfs of the manor, and said loudly, “This is me, Russell Fluorescent Mushroom, you guys Lord, a promise to you.”
Finished.
No longer caring about the reaction of the serfs, he led the knight followers and left Maitun.
Charles was left to deal with the follow-up questions.
“S-Sir, do you really reward me with a gold coin?” Old Charlie had not yet recovered from the shock.
Charles smiled and said: “Of course what the Lord said is true. Old Charlie, you have made a fortune.”
“Ah, praise the master, praise the master, the master will definitely be able to ride the dragon as soon as possible!” Old Charlie knelt directly on the ground and knelt in the direction Russell left, then stood up and bowed to Charles, “Thank you, sir, thank you for helping me, if not Sir, I…”
Old Charlie’s family also bravely came over and thanked Charles one after another.
At this time, the commander of the village, Black Pete, came over with a shy face: “Sir, I was the one who stopped old Charlie from cutting down the bamboo. You see… should you say to the lord, hey, aren’t I loyal to the lord?” hey-hey……”
“Really?” Charles narrowed his eyes and said happily, “In this case, the lord has to reward you with money?”
“Hehe, just a little bit is good, a little bit is good.” Black Pete rubbed his palms.
“A little bit!” Charles said with a serious face and glared at Black Pete fiercely. “As the village chief, why don’t you help old Charlie solve the problem of bamboo spreading and encroaching on houses and vegetable gardens? What are the responsibilities of the village chief? Do you remember Can’t live?”
“Ah, I…” Black Pete suddenly panicked.
“I think you are no longer able to shoulder the responsibilities of the commander, Black Pete. As the Chief Clerk, I am now announcing that you will cease your duties as the commander. I will decide on your actions after I investigate your actions in the past few months. Punishment!”
After saying that, Charles ignored the crying Black Pete.
After telling old Charlie and his family that they would go to the temporary office in the afternoon to collect the reward money, he arranged for the clerical clerk to inform all the residents of Maitun that they would all come to the temporary office in the afternoon. He wanted to personally ask Chief Black Pete what he had done in the past few months.
Immediately, he got on his horse and returned to the temporary office for work.
Only Black Pete was left, sitting in the yard of old Charlie’s house, wanting to cry without tears.
