Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 109 Vegetable Pests

In this magical land, vines and unknown plants grow wildly.

Countless vines entwine every inch of land, some as thick as ropes, some as thin as silk, layer upon layer, forming a green barrier. They interweave and climb in the air, decorating the sky and land like a green maze.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the vines, adding a sense of mystery and fantasy to the land. When the breeze blows, the vines sway gently, the leaves rustle, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of the plants.

A Lu and I carefully pushed aside the vines that were entangled around us, and our footsteps entered the lush grass, each step accompanied by the rustling of plants.

I accidentally noticed that there was a small white earthworm wriggling next to it. Its body was shining slightly in the sun, and it looked different.

"Ah, Mr. A'lu! Look, there are earthworms here!" I excitedly pointed at the earthworms on the ground and called A'lu who was walking in front of me.

A Lu turned around and squatted down to take a closer look, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Oh, this is a mineral earthworm, it is said that it only lives in fertile land. The little master of the field! This little guy is here, which means... we are very close, Xiaosong!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but show an expectant expression on my face: "Vegetable sky!"

At this moment, A Lu suddenly frowned. He sniffed the air hard, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What...what is this smell?"

"It came from over there!" A Lu stood up and walked forward quickly, trying to trace the source of the smell.

I followed closely behind, my heart full of curiosity and nervousness. As my pace quickened, my heartbeat also gradually accelerated. We passed through the dense grass and bypassed the thick vines, and finally came to an open place.

When you step into this holy land, the first thing that catches your eye is the endless green ocean. Pieces of emerald green leaves stretch out in the sun. Various vegetables are scattered in the fields, some are tall and straight, and some are graceful, competing to show their beauty.

Deep in the holy land of vegetables, all kinds of rare varieties bloomed. The violet eggplants sparkled charmingly in the sun; the golden pumpkins hung heavily on the vines like golden lanterns; and the red tomatoes were like crystal clear rubies, exuding an alluring aroma.

The sun shines through the dense vegetable leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows. The breeze blows by, bringing bursts of fresh earthy scent and the fragrance of vegetables.

When A Lu saw the legendary vegetable sanctuary, he couldn't help but feel excited and shouted to the sky: "Woooooooooo——"

I followed closely behind, and wherever I looked, there was a sea of ​​​​green vegetables: "This... is... the vegetable field in the sky [Vegetable Sky]!"

A Lu's nostrils moved slightly, and he sniffed the air intently: "This is actually... the aroma of vegetables? Amazing, this is in no way inferior to the strong, deep, rich green aroma of grilled meat and fish!"

A Lu squatted down, lowered his eyes, and focused on the clumps of green grass leaves. Those grass leaves swayed gently in the breeze, and seemed to emit a faint fragrance.

Ah Lu put his nose close to the grass and took a deep breath: "It's the refreshing fragrance emitted by the fresh and tender leaves, and there is no grass smell at all!"

I took a deep breath, the air was mixed with the smell of the earth, fresh and pure. The scent of vegetables also drifted with it, a fragrance mixed with soil, sunshine and rain, unique and charming.

Ah Lu squatted on the ground, holding a moist white radish tightly in both hands. With a gentle pull, it broke free from the soil. "It's so heavy... This is the first time I've seen such a heavy radish with such dense fiber and moisture. Let's have one first!"

A'lu's movements were quick and decisive. He used the sharp blade in his hand to gently peel off the skin of the white radish. Thin slices of skin fell like snowflakes. The peeled white radish was cut into even slices, each of which was crystal clear and exuded an attractive luster.

Ah Lu picked up a piece of white radish, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently. The sweet and crisp taste filled his mouth. He closed his eyes and savored the delicious taste of this vegetable.

Seeing Ah Lu happily eating the white radish, I was also very happy. This joyful mood of tasting delicious food seemed to be contagious, and I couldn't help but be infected.

I walked to the cucumber field nearby and picked a green cucumber. Holding the cucumber in my hand, I could feel the slight touch of the fine hairs on its skin.

I took a bite of the cucumber, and instantly, a fresh taste spread in my mouth. The fragrance flowed through my throat like a spring, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling.

Carefully savoring the cucumber in my mouth, I found that its flesh was very tender and juicy. Every time I chewed it, I could hear a crisp sound, which blended with the sweetness of the cucumber itself to form a unique taste experience.

A Lu turned around excitedly and called my name loudly: "Xiao Song!"

I looked at A Lu in confusion, not knowing why he was so excited: "What's wrong, Mr. A Lu?"

"Wow - your face is so smooth and moist. Until just now you looked like a little old man. What happened?" A Lu was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, as if he had seen something strange.

I was stunned for a moment, then I laughed, and then I thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of the cucumber. I just ate some cucumber, and maybe it made my face more moisturized."

"I also ate some delicious radish. Although it tastes crisp, the rich flavor like thoroughly cooked oden gradually emerges." A Lu shouted excitedly, holding the radish in his hand, his voice full of joy.

Seeing A Lu's satisfied look, I also felt relieved and happy: "That's great, it's delicious food, Mr. A Lu!"

However, A Lu's excitement did not seem to stop. He turned his head and his eyes were immediately attracted by the other colorful vegetables in the vegetable garden. He took big steps and ran towards those vegetables, like a hungry beast that found new prey.

I watched him excitedly running around the vegetable garden, eating all kinds of vegetables in big mouthfuls, and I couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Ah Lu's eating manner was really embarrassing, as if he was a pig worm destroying this beautiful vegetable garden. The vegetables that were originally neatly arranged were eaten all over the place by him, and the whole thing was a mess.

(Note: Pigworm is a local dialect in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. It is a small insect about five centimeters long, dark green in color, plump and chubby, with two red whiskers on its head.

Pigworms, also known as "cabbage worms" and "bean worms", are the most common order in the class Insecta.

Most of them live on fresh green leaves and tender leaves of fruit trees, and they eat tender leaves of plants.)

I looked at A Lu with a frown on my face, and smiled bitterly in my heart. This guy is really a gourmet. Once he tastes something delicious, he can't stop.

However, seeing how happy A-Lu was eating, I couldn't blame him. After all, enjoying delicious food is also a kind of happiness.
