Chapter 82 Xu Zhiyang's Fear
Hearing the retching sound that the boy was trying hard to suppress, Zhu Ci felt something was wrong. He originally felt that he had no right to ask, but now that their relationship had been confirmed, he had to know.
Meeting Zhuci's gaze, Li Huiyin felt timid and scratched her head, saying:
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just... I can't talk about this matter... Xu Xiaoyang definitely won't be willing to talk about it either."
Lu Nian leaned against the toilet door with a worried look on his face, his animal ears pricked up to listen carefully to the movements inside.
Zhu Ci frowned and stared at Li Huiyin, "Is it related to Yangyang's parents?"
Having fought side by side until now, they are each other's most trusted comrades-in-arms, and everyone is worried about Xu Zhiyang.
Everyone's eyes were on her. Li Huiyin finally couldn't bear it anymore and could only lower her voice and say a few words to explain the whole story.
"It happened in junior high. He and his parents were traveling to another city to visit his brother. They had a car accident on the way. Xiaoyang suffered multiple fractures and watched... his parents get burned... and charred..."
Zhu Ci's heart suddenly tightened.
"What does that have to do with pork?" Qin Shiyu asked softly.
"……well."
Li Huiyin was unwilling to mention this matter and could only vaguely say:
"Brother Han used to like braised pork. Aunt Xu prepared a lot of dishes and put them in a lunch box that day...both the food and the people...were...but he just doesn't like pork, everything else is fine."
Zhu Ci finally understood why Xu Zhiyang would hide every time the base sent him braised pork. It turned out to be because he had watched his parents burn to death...
No one would have thought that there was such a story behind the seemingly normal and lively boy.
They were silent for a long time, and even the smiling Fu Qingbai lost his smile.
Mu Ke sighed slightly, "Let's all go away. Don't make Zhiyang feel uncomfortable."
Li Huiyin ruffled her short hair. "Oh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. Everyone should eat a little. It's a shame to waste food."
"Um."
Qin Shiyu walked over and tugged at Lu Nian's sleeve, shaking his head at him. Lu Nian hesitated for a moment before leaving the door.
The braised pork on the table was put away, and the bowl of untouched rice with pork on it was taken away by Li Huiyin and eaten quietly.
Zhu Ci stood in front of the toilet door without moving, waiting quietly for the sound of water to stop.
The door opened, and Xu Zhiyang smiled at Zhu Ci with a pale face.
"Why don't you go eat? That piece of meat just now looked too greasy. I couldn't eat it."
"It doesn't matter if you can't eat." Zhu Ci was really not good at comforting people, so he simply dragged a few people out to take the blame.
"Mu Ke has gained weight recently because the food is so good, so it's okay if you don't want to eat."
Mu Ke: “…”
I didn't realize you could do this?
Xu Zhiyang laughed and pretended nothing happened and returned to the dining table. His friends all tacitly agreed not to ask what happened.
No one noticed that Qin Shiyu's eyes turned red as he was eating. He also missed his parents.
After dinner, several people sat in the living room to discuss what to do next.
Mu Ke: "Then tomorrow Lu Nian Huiyin and I will go up the mountain with the team."
"I'll go with you again. There's not much wood energy this time, and my advancement is still too slow." Qin Shiyu said.
Xu Zhiyang looked at him: "Are you sure you can make it?"
The child has lost some weight recently because he didn't eat or sleep well when he went up the mountain.
Qin Shiyu said firmly: "I can, I can sleep on Momo's legs at night."
Mu Ke rubbed his head: "Don't worry, I will take care of him."
Li Huiyin patted herself and said, "Don't worry! Nian Nian and I are here!"
"It's because of you two that I feel uneasy..."
Like a dad taking care of three kids.
Li Huiyin is the most worrying one.
Xu Zhiyang sat opposite Li Huiyin, and the image of this girl when she died in her previous life kept flashing through his mind.
A feeling of fear and sadness surged in his heart. Xu Zhiyang pinched his eyebrows with a headache and thought carefully about how to know the first time his friends were in danger.
Zhuci said, "When you return from the mountain, we will set off and continue heading north."
Mu Ke nodded: "Well, I can probably reach the second level."
Li Huiyin: "I think I can do it if I work harder!"
Lu Nian said weakly: "I'm about level one and a half..."
Qin Shiyu smiled bitterly: "I may not be able to do it yet, I am only at the first and a half level now."
"fine!"
Li Huiyin pinched the little boy's face and said lovingly, "I'm here! If you meet someone with wood energy on the road, just kill them. Anyway, Xu Xiaoyang and the boss are not in a hurry for the time being."
"Right! Yangbao?" Li Hui shifted his gaze to Xu Zhiyang.
There was no answer for a long time. Zhu Ci looked over and found that the boy was in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Ci reached out and pinched his fingertips.
Xu Zhiyang came back to his senses and smiled at a few people.
"I'm thinking about how to create something that can sense your safety."
Qin Shiyu became interested and suddenly saw Fu Qingbai, who was staring at Xu Zhiyang's every move without blinking.
I feel that Fu Qingbai is not trustworthy.
So he said, "Brother Yang, maybe I can help you."
Xu Zhiyang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she pointed at Zhu Ci's room and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Qin Shiyu jumped off the sofa, "Okay!"
"Then you two can chat, I'll go get something."
Zhu Ci rubbed Xu Zhiyang's cheek, covered it with his palm and gently kissed the boy's lips.
"good."
Xu Zhiyang didn't ask too much. Everyone deserves a little privacy.
After entering the room, Qin Shiyu took out his little notebook.
"Brother Yang, do you have a solution?"
"Yes, but it requires experiments."
Li Huiyin and Lu Nian followed in. She asked, "How do we conduct the experiment?"
Xu Zhiyang smiled mysteriously and spread out his palms.
Several people stared at him curiously, and Xu Zhiyang stopped keeping them in suspense.
A ball of golden light slowly rose in the clean and soft palm.
Xu Zhiyang tightened his fingers slightly and saw that the golden ball of light seemed to be covered with a layer of ice and solidified. About a minute later, the ball of light as big as a fingertip solidified into a solid object.
Xu Zhiyang threw this thing to Li Huiyin.
Li Huiyin quickly held it in her palm and gently squeezed it, "This looks like..."
Qin Shiyu pushed up his glasses and said, "Gold."
Xu Zhiyang: "Not really. I just created a protective shield around the golden energy ball to prevent the golden energy from returning to my body."
Qin Shiyu: "Back to your body?"
"Yes, you all know that only after the mutant animals die can their energy be completely absorbed by us."
Xu Zhiyang pointed at the gold and said, "I have injected my golden energy into this piece of gold. If you are in danger, crush it and the energy will return to my body..."
"Then now you know who is in trouble." Qin Shiyu took over.
Xu Zhiyang tapped his nose: "Smart!"
"But unfortunately, my gold energy level is not high enough. I used it all up and only made this small piece."
Qin Shiyu: "But Brother Yang, you still have other energy, which is just right for you to make one for Brother Nian and Brother Mu."
