Chapter 177 Flowers are the key to dreams
Zhang Chun took a deep breath and prepared to find glue to seal the cracks in the communicator. After calming down for a moment, he asked, "Have you seen Ming Ji? At normal speed, he should have brought Xuan Wu here last night."
There was still a hearty laugh on the other side of the communicator.
"Because the ruined city recently issued a law prohibiting high-altitude flying, so he was also thrown into jail!"
Click.
Zhang Chun ignored the rustling communicator and continued to ask with great patience, "What about Xuan Wu? Did Ming Ji not have any contact with him?"
The communicator came with a buzzing sound.
"Xuanwu...? Didn't he already go there? Didn't you meet... Zizi... him? Ah, speaking of this?, the... Zizi he sent back at the end? It's a bit strange... Huh."
The call was disconnected.
Zhang Chun went outside and explored the situation on the west side of the village through the surface. He even sensed the situation of the A3 base. Everything was normal, but he still didn't find Xuan Wu.
...missing?
And the last sentence Jing Heng said... something was a little strange when it was transmitted back?
He was still there? He paced back and forth, looked up, saw that the sky was bright, and could vaguely hear the chirping of birds and insects in the forest.
Without thinking for too long, Zhang Chun turned around and went back into the house. He knocked on the black-haired boy's door, and as soon as he opened it, the words he was about to say were instantly stuck in his throat.
The bed was clean and even the quilt was neat and tidy, with no signs of having been used.
My first reaction was, could it be that Yun Yan was also missing?
The second reaction was the familiar night walk. Zhang Chun explored the back mountain and the forest at the entrance of the village. He soon found the figure of the boy and his eyelids jumped.
Big? In the morning, don't sleep, go to the forest at the entrance of the village to plant trees?
"Hey, hey..."
Chu Xiuyan squatted on the ground and dug the soil with a shovel. His face was covered with mud and his clothes were dirty. It was obvious that it took more than one or two hours to create this.
Soon, he dug a circular pit with a radius of one meter. After squinting his eyes and measuring the size, he stood up, patted his pants, and successfully wiped the dust in his hands onto his clothes. Then, he turned around and walked towards a tall and lush green tree a few meters away.
Open your arms, hold tightly, and use your strength——
"rise!"
The lush green branches and leaves shook violently, and the fallen leaves fluttered down. The ground seemed to be shaking. A bird fell out from the treetops, chirping and circling above the boy's head, flapping its wings, as if swearing.
Crunch. Crunch.
Chu Xiuyan held his breath and successfully pulled the tree in his arms out of the soil. He walked towards the pit he had just dug, aimed the roots of the tree in the right direction, and pressed them in.
"Hey, can't get in?"
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head and stared at the size of the pit and the tree root on the ground. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly realized: "So? The pit is not big enough? Ah!"
He put the tree on an open space nearby, then half-knelt down and continued digging the hole with a small shovel.
The next second, the soil at my feet shook violently, and a line of earthy brown words quietly emerged.
【--What are you doing? ? ? 】
Three? question marks, perfectly illustrating someone's shock and mixed emotions.
"Hey, uncle, good morning." Chu Xiuyan answered while digging a hole: "I originally planned to find an empty space to plant trees, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find a Feng Shui treasure land, so I decided to manually create a perfect home."
【Did you not sleep at night? 】
"I don't know why, but as soon as I returned to the village I seemed to be overcome by a familiar feeling, and then I couldn't sleep and ran around."
[You're not sleepy... Never mind, we can plant trees anytime, why don't you go back to the village and change clothes? Eat breakfast... You didn't even bring a water bottle? ]
“Natural stream water, healthy and delicious!”
Chu Xiuyan gave a thumbs up, smiling brightly.
Then, under my feet, the ground in all directions appeared densely packed with countless words, which made me dizzy and my scalp tingling at first glance.
"Okay, okay, I definitely will. Yeah, I got it..."
Chu Xiuyan didn't know what he was saying. He hugged his knees, feeling dizzy. After a few minutes, the densely packed words on the ground disappeared. He paused for a few seconds, then quickly grasped the shovel again.
"resurrection--"
Keep digging the hole!
System: [So? You really want to plant that thing in the forest? ]
[How about I carry it with me? It’s inconvenient to carry, and if there is something in the desert, we must have it in the forest too! ]
Chu Xiuyan touched the transparent branch wrapped in a cloth bag on his back. It came from the giant blood tree in the desert that no one could see. When he was drunk, he instinctively broke off a small branch and brought it back.
The exhibitionist in the donkey mask from the sea tribe said that these branches are similar to the hands and feet of the desert god - but now, the desert god has fallen.
Chu Xiuyan brought the branch in front of him. A faint scarlet glow was visible through the cloth. Under the sunlight, the branch exposed outside the cloth looked like some kind of dazzling crystal, with a different kind of beauty that was dazzling.
Boom!
A small stone hit his head. It didn't hurt much, but it also made the boy turn his head quickly, staring at the looming figure in the deep woods, and said angrily: "Too much! Why did you hit my head for no reason!"
There was no sound from the forest, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the faint sound of something being tossed up and down in the palm of one's hand.
Chu Xiuyan hugged his head and turned his head, facing the deep forest.
"Oh, come on, it's been so long, why are you still so shy, Monkey? Damn it——"
Another small stone came flying towards us?
Chu Xiuyan dodged quickly, raised his chin proudly, and then was hit on the head by another stone from behind.
"You have no moral principles and you actually launched a sneak attack..."
He covered his head and groaned in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, a careless voice suddenly sounded in the woods.
"It's strange that you don't ask me anything."
The [Myth] who lives in the beast forest east of Huangshi Village may know a lot of important or secret information.
Chu Xiuyan looked up at the blue sky, "But, Brother Monkey, I want to use my eyes to see the truth of this world... Wait, that's not right!"
He suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had thought of something, his face flushed, and he quickly grabbed the mysterious branch that was wrapped tightly by the bag, and asked excitedly: "Brother Monkey, what is this?"
Coming from the woods? A slow and leisurely tone.
"The pillars of the divine realm are the source of the gods' resurrection a hundred years after their fall."
“Why isn’t there one in the forest?”
"That guy has mental problems and can't put the divine realm into reality."
"Then Brother Monkey, why don't you have a tree either?"
"I do, but I'm lazy."
"And more, Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey——"
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Big? About five or six stones flew quickly from the forest? .
Chu Xiuyan dodged nimbly, "Brother Monkey, please be kind to me since I stole the Desert God's pillar and planted it here!"
He didn't even wait to catch his breath before reciting quickly: "Ocean! That? Predicting the future? What's the position of the ocean god who is about to bring disaster?"
The forest in front of him was silent for a long time, and the sound that sounded again seemed no longer so casual.
“The ocean is good.”
Chu Xiuyan was startled, "Then..."
A long howl sounded from the sky, and a giant eagle flapped its wings and descended from the sky, grabbed the boy by the back of the collar and flew high into the air.
"You're here again? This trick! Eagle sauce, aren't you afraid that I will really pack up your whole family and send them to be couriers——"
Chu Xiuyan, who was blown into the village by a wing, staggered a few steps and finally stood firm. When he looked up, he found Shu Xiumei, who was carrying a basket a few meters away, looking at him, and her smile became stiff.
Chu Xiuyan realized belatedly that he was covered in mud: "...Oh, that's bad."
Shu Xiumei took a deep breath and managed to keep her smile from falling completely. "Go take a shower."
...There’s not even a gentle “bar”!
The little civet cat that was following Shu Xiumei and biting an apple looked at the dirty boy with a look of disdain, shaking his head and making a "tsk tsk" sound from time to time, which was very obvious that he was gloating.
Shu Xiumei pinched Guo Li's ears with her backhand and asked with a smile: "I almost forgot about you, Guo Li. Did you go to the back mountain again this morning?"
The civet cat that went to the orphanage in the back mountain to play with his friends: "..."
This time it was Chu Xiuyan's turn to laugh out loud.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"What?! Uncle drove away from the village to the ruined city this morning?! Without me -???"
Chu Xiuyan held his head and screamed in fear.
The civet cat gnawed on the steamed bun and glanced at the boy who was biting the spoon fiercely and making a crunching sound. "Even I was forced to say goodbye by Uncle Zhang. Brother Xiaoyun, you didn't find out that you were away from home all night?"
"...Ah, so? That time, you also interrupted and said you wanted to go to the ruined city?"
Chu Xiuyan quickly realized that when he was digging a hole in the forest to plant a tree, Zhang Chun remotely communicated with him through the soil.
"You actually used that method to sneak away when I wasn't paying attention?!"
He clenched his chopsticks tightly and fiercely picked up the food and drank the porridge. After gulping down the porridge, he left quickly, "Aunt, I'm going to the back mountain--"
Shu Xiumei, who just came out of the kitchen, said: "Wait, get an egg before you leave?!"
The little civet raised his head and said, "Mom, I want to go to the back hill to play, too."
Shu Xiumei looked at him: "Come to think of it? Are you old enough to go to school?"
Little civet: “…”
His face instantly showed fear.
At this time, Chu Xiuyan, who rushed into the back mountain, sneezed several times, rubbed his eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and raised his head. What came into view was the white flowers all over the forest, swaying in the wind, softly, soothingly, and full of vitality.
He stroked his chin, staring at the cute little white flowers, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a small shovel and dug a hole in the flower field.
Ten minutes later, he squatted at the bottom of the pit and summoned a fog beast to dig the soil.
So, success buried itself perfectly in the soil.
"I also want to feel the breath of spring coming." Chu Xiuyan said happily, and then he seemed to think of something and summoned the fog beast again, commanding it to pull up a small flower from the side and press it on his head.
The system witnessed the whole process and sighed: [Sometimes I really can't understand your thinking. ]
Chu Xiuyan shook his head, and the small flower on top of his head also shook, looking particularly energetic.
"Breathe—life—breathe—"
Come? After a few times, he managed to breathe himself into a drowsy state.
After an unknown amount of time, a scream suddenly woke him up.
“There’s a ghost!!”
A young man in a dark red coat ran away quickly from the front, and in the blink of an eye, even his shadow disappeared.
Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes and squinted, "Ghost? Where is the ghost?"
System: [I guess he was scared by you. By the way, that person just now, does he look familiar? ]
Chu Xiuyan tilted his head: "I don't remember."
The system went back and looked through the past records, and came back and said: [It was Xuan Wu, the super S-level superpower from the ruined city, the support that Zhang Chun called from the ruined city earlier...did he just arrive? ]
It goes back to look through the automatically saved surrounding records.
Chu Xiuyan finished his "experience" in the soil, dug himself out, stood at the edge of the pit, patted the soil on his body, and took a step forward with a stained face, "Anyway, let's meet up with that coward who is afraid of ghosts first."
As soon as he took a step forward, the surrounding scene suddenly changed dramatically.
The lush forests disappeared, the white flowers all over the mountains disappeared, the white clouds, blue sky and soft soil all disappeared.
Instead, there are four cold and hard walls and airtight special glass doors.
... and the man in the donkey mask who was cowering in the corner in fear.
Chu Xiuyan, with a small white flower on his head, looked at the person in the corner for a while, then tilted his head and said, "Hey, do you look familiar?"
The man with the donkey mask—that? And? The leader of the sea tribe who was imprisoned as soon as they met, was staring at the black-haired boy who suddenly appeared in his cell in horror, and said in disbelief: "Why would you—"
He suddenly fell silent and rushed over? He held Chu Xiuyan's right hand with both hands, knelt on one knee, and said affectionately: "Sir, do you plan to change your place of residence?"
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
He shook off the other person's hand expressionlessly. "It's hard for me to go to college in a province, and it's even more terrible to live abroad for a long time. Besides, I'm easily sick of the local climate. So stay away from me, Mr. perverted exhibitionist."
