Chapter 492
Noticing the helplessness and vigilance in his daughter's eyes, Yun Lejin fell silent again.
Yunmian didn't wait for her response.
After the two sides had been in a tacit stalemate for a long time across the two worlds, Yun Mian couldn't bear it anymore. He took off his raincoat and rain boots, folded them neatly next to the pile of things, wiped the wound with a relatively clean cloth, and tied him up hastily.
After doing all this, she stopped talking to the invisible person, changed her clothes, curled up in bed, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
There was no need to wait until tomorrow, Yun Lejin guessed that after falling asleep in this situation, Mianmian would definitely fall ill with a high fever in the middle of the night due to weakness.
But she had no choice.
Just like every time her daughter fell ill and was sent to the emergency room, there was nothing she could do but wait.
Rather than worry, perhaps she felt more powerless at this moment.
There is no way to change anything, you can only witness all possible things, good or bad, happening.
Yunmian woke up and found those things still there intact.
She was in a very bad state at the moment. She was in a daze, her lips were chapped, her face was flushed, and her eyes could hardly focus.
Yunmian knew that she was injured and sick.
But she had no money to see a doctor, and like every time before, she could only sleep her way through it.
If you can survive, you will continue to struggle to stay alive. If you can't, your body will be discovered one day, and you will be carried out of this dilapidated house while cursing your bad luck and thrown out of the city to become food for strange plants and beasts.
Yunmian doesn't want to die.
So after standing in a daze at the coffee table for a while, he finally opened his mouth, whispered thank you, and reached out to grab the bottle of milk that he was most familiar with.
When the milk went down the esophagus and into the stomach, the scattered light in her eyes finally focused slightly.
With the food replenishment, she thought she should be able to survive this injury.
Since she has chosen to accept this gift of unknown purpose, Yun Mian will no longer be hesitant.
In fact, most of her attention was attracted by the bottle of clean and transparent mineral water on the table.
After the catastrophe, even the rain falling from the sky had a light and dirty color. Yunmian had never seen such clean water since she was born.
She thought, perhaps even those people in the wealthy areas had never seen such clear and clean water?
I subconsciously thought about the sky-high price this bottle of water could be sold for, and then immediately dismissed this dangerous idea.
Struggling to survive alone in the wasteland world, five-year-old Mianmian has already understood many ways of survival that perhaps even adults would find difficult to understand in peacetime.
Once discovered, she would not be able to keep any of these things.
So Yunmian didn't hesitate for too long. After eating the milk and bread, he hid the bottle of water and planned to drink it tomorrow.
In addition, there was a strange box on the coffee table and a bag of seeds that looked particularly familiar to her.
Yunmian reached out and took the bag of seeds.
There were words written on it, but Yunmian didn't recognize any of them.
She only recognizes simple numbers, and has trouble understanding anything more than that.
But Yunmian only needs to know that this is a seed.
She looked around the room holding the seeds, and finally put the seeds together with the wild vegetable seeds she had bought before. She would not take this seed for testing, as she was afraid that if the test showed any special conditions, she would have difficulty dealing with it.
After putting the seeds away, Yunmian finally reached for the exquisitely packaged paper box.
In this era, paper products are very rare. After the plant mutation, paper is no longer popular. The paper Yunmian sees in life is not this kind of paper, but another chemical product that can be dissolved in water and can be used for writing.
Therefore, Yunmian felt that this box alone was a rare treasure.
The exquisite patterns on the box also made her eyes light up. After the catastrophe, orphans like Yunmian who needed occasional assistance from the government had absolutely no chance to go to school and learn to read, so she could not understand the words on it. She could only touch the patterns printed on the paper box, and then carefully followed the gap to open it.
Yunmian didn't know that it was a blind box containing toys.
There are many styles of blind boxes. The pattern that Yunmian carefully touched again and again happened to be the hidden toy in this blind box.
"…Is it a bird?" Yun Mian widened her eyes and looked at the plush bird in the box in surprise, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
There are birds in the wasteland world.
But there are very few unmutated birds, and like those noble rich people, they never stay in the shanties in the slums.
Yunmian had only seen the appearance of the birds in the windows of shopping malls in wealthy areas, and had seen their bright feathers when their wings were spread, because the bird was carefully painted on the hem of a blue skirt by a craftsman. GG said that was the color of the sky before the catastrophe, and the bird seemed to be circling and flying above the blue sky.
At that time, Yun Mian, who was only three years old, sat on the steps across the street from the slums and the rich area, holding her face and staring at the little bird foolishly for a long time, so long that the salesperson in the store came out with a dark face to drive her away.
At that time, little Yunmian thought that she would never be able to touch the little bird with spread wings in her entire life.
But now, there was a more beautiful and lovely bird in front of her.
Not the bird painted on the hem of a skirt, not the bird locked in a window, but the bird that fell into the palm of her hand and would belong to her completely.
The culturally impoverished children could not think of any fancy words to describe the joy that was surging in their hearts at the moment.
She just did the same thing as when she was three years old. She held the bird in her palm, sat on a small stool, and stared at it quietly for a long time.
This time she didn't have to look enviously through the window.
No one would expel her in a vicious tone anymore.
"Thank you~" Yun Mian raised her head and smiled with bright eyes.
But Yun Lejin had already fallen asleep on the sofa, holding his phone.
She seemed to have never had a full night's sleep since her daughter was born.
In the seven days after Mianmian's death, Yun Lejin could hardly sleep a wink.
Now that everything had settled, his daughter was still alive and had returned home safely from outside the city, Yun Lejin's tense nerves finally relaxed.
She was finally willing to live well for her daughter again.
Therefore, when Mianmian was sleeping soundly, Yun Lejin asked the system to exchange a fever-reducing pill and asked Xiao Tiangao to help feed it to Mianmian, and then he fell into a deep sleep exhausted.
If she were still awake now, she would definitely see the pink little hearts constantly popping up above Mianmian's head, and see the ever-increasing favorability and happiness value.
Children's happiness seems to be so simple. A little bird made of clay can make her ignore most of her previous vigilance and unfamiliarity, and quickly develop an innocent liking for a person she has never met before.
Maybe it’s more than just a bird.
But it started with those two candies. Things that Yunmian had never had before kept appearing and were given to her unconditionally, time and time again. In just a few days, she unknowingly possessed a lot of "wealth".
Yunkong estimated that at this moment, even if Yun Lejin wanted to trick Mianmian into becoming a beggar, she would not resist as much as before.
However, Yun Lejin would definitely rather be a beggar and raise Mianmian well, and would never be willing to let Mianmian become a little beggar.
After putting everything on the table in place, Yunmian could finally start tinkering with her small flower pots and newly bought flower seeds.
She first went to the seed sales center that day.
The saleswoman who worked at the counter this time was still the same saleswoman that day.
Yunmian was still standing on tiptoe, lying next to the counter, and carefully handed the tender sprouts she had dug up along with the soil wrapped in plastic to the salesperson.
"Sister, can you help me check if it has any abnormalities?"
"Okay." The salesperson first looked at the tender green buds curiously, then reached out and took it with the same care.
Yunmian pursed her lips and smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Thank you, sister~"
It takes a long time to test a green plant. In order not to delay others from buying seeds, Yunmian found a corner and waited quietly.
Until she heard a small scream from the other side.
Then came the familiar voice calling her name.
Yun Mian guessed something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran around the crowd.
"Congratulations, little guy. The level of contamination on this seedling is very low, and it has not caused any plant mutations."
As the salesperson spoke, he moved the seedling onto the glass counter more carefully, and then asked the little girl who was looking at him eagerly, "Is this a seedling dug from outside the city? You are very lucky. Would you consider selling it to us? We will definitely not give you a bad price."
Yunmian had actually thought about this question before coming here.
But at this moment, listening to the salesperson's seemingly calm but actually very tempting question, she couldn't help but secretly get excited.
"Sister, have you found out what kind of seed it is?"
Yun Mian looked up at the salesperson, and behind her, there were many people who had heard the noise and were secretly paying attention to this side, quietly listening to the conversation here.
As for what kind of thoughts they have, good intentions or bad intentions, perhaps only they themselves know.
The salesperson didn't expect Yunmian to not agree right away. Hearing this, he smiled and replied, "The test results didn't indicate that it was any precious seed from the seed bank. I think it should just be a low-level seedling, but its vitality is stronger than the seeds in the seed bank, so it can grow in such a dangerous place outside the city."
Just like Yunmian, such a young girl, in the eyes of those rich people with a comfortable life, isn’t she also a low-level seedling with tenacious vitality?
As soon as these words were spoken, those who had been secretly listening and paying attention suppressed their originally fluctuating thoughts, turned their eyes away with disinterest, and continued to select the seeds they wanted.
Yun Mian's originally tense body finally relaxed a little bit.
She secretly wiped the sweat from her clenched palms on her pants, and then said to the salesperson, "Sister, I want to take it back to plant. All the seeds I bought before failed. Maybe the seeds that sprouted won't die again if I plant them."
The children's innocent and simple logic made the salesperson think of a lot of things. For example, Mianmian, who was only three or four years old, ran around the streets and alleys all day long, picking up garbage and saving money. Every time she saved enough, she would come here to buy a seed.
No one would laugh at her, but no one would be so stupid as to spend all their savings on a low-grade seed that was doomed to have difficulty germinating.
Now, Yunmian wants to take the germinated seed back. Maybe he can grow it successfully in the future, and then come here to exchange it for a fortune that is more considerable than selling the seedlings.
In this barren place, Yunmian only needs one wild vegetable to feed herself.
There is one last chapter in the evening.
