Chapter 12 Chapter 12 If it were normal, Mo...

If it were a normal state, Mo Rusheng would have retreated long ago when he saw Bai Tianming's gaze, but now Mo Rusheng stared at the small flower in front of him, his attention completely occupied by this flower. He licked his lips, his pupils swayed, like a hungry wolf drooling, not caring about anything else.

Bai Tianming raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, preventing him from moving any closer to the flower. After a moment's thought, he sighed and said, "The flowers here should all be in bloom by tonight. Do you really have to eat them now?"

Mo Rusheng rolled his eyes, barely able to look away from the flower so close to him. He looked at Bai Tianming with a distracted expression, as if he had no idea where he was. He smiled slowly and said, "I'm really hungry."

Bai Tianming saw that his eyes were darting around and he seemed unable to stop at all. He thought that planting flowers all over the ground and not giving any to the people around him to eat seemed a bit torture. What's more, the man looked like he was almost starving to death. It would be a bit inhumane to care about the flowers.

Bai Tianming pulled Mo Rusheng aside, stood in front of the first flower that had opened, plucked off a petal, handed it to him, and said helplessly: "Eat this."

Mo Rusheng didn't have time to think about anything else. When he saw the petals appear in front of him, he wanted to bite them. He immediately took the petals, put them in his mouth, licked them, chewed them, blinked his eyes, and was reluctant to let them go. He was silent for a long time, as if he was tasting some rare delicacy, before he swallowed them reluctantly.

"Is it delicious?" Bai Tianming looked at him and asked.

"It's delicious." Mo Rusheng nodded. His sanity gradually returned and he suddenly remembered what he had just done. His face turned pale, red and green, as if a traffic light had been turned on.

"What did I tell you before?" Bai Tianming smiled.

"What?" Mo Rusheng blinked, unable to figure out what Bai Tianming was referring to. After all, Bai Tianming had said quite a lot to him, so he was a little nervous.

"I told you before that my flowers are different from others." Bai Tianming had no intention of causing trouble for him, nor did he intend to embarrass him. Seeing that he couldn't think of an answer for a moment, he smiled and announced the answer, saying, "You didn't believe it then, do you believe it now?"

Before Bai Tianming gave the answer, Mo Rusheng was still thinking. Bai Tianming said it clearly, and Mo Rusheng remembered it all at once. He nodded and said quickly, "I believe it now."

I mean this sincerely.

Even now, when he thought about how confident he was before, and how he felt that even if Bai Tianming could grow slightly special flowers, they would not be that special, he felt embarrassed.

The puppy sat beside me, whimpering and barking in frustration. Why does he have it and I don't? How can I feed him? Why not me? I'm hungry too! I want to eat too! I want to eat too!

"You've already eaten today." Bai Tianming blinked and looked at the puppy, feeling quite helpless, and said with a slightly frown.

The puppy refused to obey and just walked around with its tail wagging, whining in its throat and its face almost red.

"Alright, alright," Bai Tianming sighed, picked another petal and handed it to the puppy, "You guys are such a glutton. Take a little of this, a little of that. I've only got two flowers now, how can that be enough for you? I won't dare let you come up tomorrow!"

That last sentence was a joke.

Mo Rusheng took it seriously and was startled. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his face turned pale. He looked at him cautiously, afraid that he would be unhappy, and also afraid that he really wouldn't let him come up. He quickly swore, "I will never eat so much again!"

He didn't dare to say that he would never eat it again, because he really thought the flower was delicious. Moreover, when he thought of the taste of the flower, he felt very hungry.

"It's not that much of a difference." Bai Tianming shook his head.

The puppy didn't care about all that. It just ate the flowers. It chewed the petals again and again before swallowing them. After it finished eating, it even refused to open its mouth, for fear that the fragrance of the flowers would escape and it would have trouble dreaming at night.

The puppy whimpered in its throat and rubbed against Bai Tianming's trouser legs. Its previously wet fur had dried, and now the puppy's fur was fluffy and clean. It rubbed against his ankles, and he was very happy to feel the fur and warmth.

Bai Tianming kicked the puppy aside and said, "Okay, okay, it's getting dark, time to go home."

The sun was approaching the mountainside and would soon set completely. The sky was filled with flaming clouds, bright but unclear. They covered a large area of ​​the sky, like a pile of burning wool rolls, or a piece of armor on a god, making people unable to control their fascination.

The soil on the road was a little dried out by the sun, and it felt hard to walk on. It didn't fall off, nor did it dent, but it was not particularly flat. When walking on the road, you felt like you would fall if you were not careful.

The sunlight, like half-melted orange cream, fell on the ground, warm and cozy, with a sweet fragrance of plants, as if one could drown in the sweet fragrance if not careful. However, when one smelled it carefully, one could not smell it anymore. It was like an elf in the jungle that made people lost. It only waved to passers-by when it was curious, and attracted the passers-by into the dark forest, and then ran away in fear, not caring about anything, leaving people standing there, not knowing which way to go.

Mo Rusheng followed Bai Tianming down the mountain with the puppy in hand. Suddenly, he became curious: "Those flowers are so fragrant, so beautiful, and so delicious. Why don't you plant more?"

Bai Tianming smiled and said, "I have thought about planting more, but what will I do with them?"

"You can eat it!" Mo Rusheng said with his eyes wide open.

"Of course you can, but there are already enough flowers to eat now. If there are more, I'm afraid they won't taste good anymore, and it will be a waste if you can't finish them." Bai Tianming shook his head.

"Then what about selling it?" Mo Rusheng asked.

"That's fine, but there are not many people around here, so who would come to buy it?" Bai Tianming shook his head again.

If you want to save money, there are wild flowers all over the ground, you can pick them yourself and leave without paying a penny.

If the picture is beautiful, there are so many beautiful things in the world, so why do you have to buy flowers?

If you're looking for something that lasts forever, flowers won't last long, so why not choose something else?

If you buy flowers for gifts, the flowers on the mountain have no brand and are unknown. If you sell them too expensively, people may not be willing to pay for them. If you sell them too cheaply, people may not be willing to pick them in broad daylight. What's the point?

Mo Rusheng was silent for a while, and had to nod and say, "It's really quiet here."

It's a good place to hide from enemies, enjoy the countryside, or make a scene.

It would not be appropriate to do business here.

There are gains and losses, which is normal, but it is still inevitable to feel a little disappointed.

Mo Rusheng sighed in his heart, feeling depressed. He walked with his head down. He accidentally didn't lift his foot and kicked the pothole on the road, almost falling down.

He opened his eyes wide and shouted, then raised his arms and waved them in the air, trying to grab something to stabilize his body.

Bai Tianming heard his voice, looked at him, and grabbed him.

He finally managed to stand firm, trembling with fear. He couldn't recover for a while. His face was pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say anything. His throat felt tight, as if he had suddenly become mute.

"Are you okay?" Bai Tianming stood beside him and looked at him, waiting for him to recover and asked.

"It's okay," Mo Rusheng blinked and took a deep breath before speaking. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he grabbed Bai Tianming and said, "If we plant flowers on a large scale in the mountains and ask someone to sell them, those flowers will be of such good quality that there will always be people willing to pay for them. It won't be long before a brand is formed. With a brand, there will be a brand effect, and more people will buy them. Then, will there be anything to worry about?"

Mo Rusheng became more and more excited as he spoke: "Even if there is no one here for thousands of miles, with these flowers here, do you still worry that there will be no one here in the future?"

Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows and looked at him silently.

After a long speech, he finally felt a little tired and his mouth was dry. He felt in his pocket, trying to take out a glass of water, but couldn't find it.

Bai Tianming took out a glass of water and handed it to him. He took it and drank it. He felt that the taste was strange. He blinked and asked, "What is this?"

Bai Tianming smiled: "Mountain spring water."

Mo Rusheng nodded and drank the rest of the water. Suddenly realizing that he had been talking for a long time, but Bai Tianming hadn't responded, he felt a little uneasy. He took the empty cup in his hand, blinked at Bai Tianming, and asked tentatively and expectantly, "What do you think?"

"I think what you said is very good," Bai Tianming thought for a moment. Planting a large area and then asking someone to sell the flowers is indeed a way to save the flowers. However, there is no one nearby, and he hasn't figured out where to find someone to help sell the flowers. Therefore, this matter may be delayed for a while. He smiled and said, "It's just that planting a large area must be very tiring. I'm almost done with that piece of land by myself. Who will plant the other land when the time comes?"

Mo Rusheng blinked, thinking that this was indeed a problem, nodded, and said while thinking: "I'll think about it again."

"Okay," Bai Tianming nodded and walked back. "Think about it slowly, and tell me when you've made up your mind."

Mo Rusheng followed him with the dog, nodded and said, "I will definitely think about it carefully!"

Bai Tianming opened the small door and returned to the yard. Mo Rusheng followed him in with the dog and closed the door. Suddenly, Bai Tianming was stunned and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"

Did you bump into it on the threshold?

Mo Rusheng slowly turned his head as if he saw a ghost, blinked his eyes, his expression a little dull, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
