Chapter 134
"food?"
Tang Yu'an looked at the ball of light in the air. Because of Chi Hao, he knew that the situation in Lanhu Town didn't seem to be very good. Was that why this little boy wanted food?
Considering that the child's last dream was very unstable, Tang Yu'an did not chat with him.
He asked directly: "How much food do you want?"
Sure enough, after he responded, the little boy's ball of light began to become unstable, but fortunately he did not wake up immediately.
The little boy replied, "The more the merrier!"
"Or exchange it for leaves?"
"Yeah! I have ten leaves!"
Tang Yu'an originally wanted to trade with him the soybeans he got from Hongli, but was stopped by Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi didn't explain for the time being, nor did he ask any more questions.
So he successfully completed the transaction with the little boy at the price of one blue beard leaf for three pounds of brown rice.
You completed a profitable transaction with a Dream Wisher, Dream Fragment +1, Points +350, Experience Points +6.

Lanhu Town.
The red cat was standing by the window, secretly observing Xiao Risheng who was sleeping soundly in the house.
In addition to Xiao Risheng, his parents and sister also slept in the bedroom, but because they were ordinary people, they did not notice his peeping.
As time went by, he gradually became bored of waiting.
Chi Hao glanced at his mall panel.
【Alcohol (75% concentration): 25 points/500ml】
After he got the house in Lanhu Town for Xiao An and the others, new products were unlocked because of triggering special rewards.
Alcohol is a good thing. Although it is slightly inferior to fuel, it can also produce unexpected effects in combat.
For a moment, he almost suspected that Xiao An or Xiao Qi was the mysterious businessman.
But he quickly denied this speculation. After all, if these two children were really mysterious businessmen, where did they get these supplies from?
but……
Chi Hao glanced at the message board.
In addition to the people I have met before, a guy named Panshi appeared tonight. Could this person be Xiao An?
"Handsome Porridge" is Xiaoqi, so what is Xiaoan's nickname?
Chi Hao touched his chin. At this moment, his ears moved slightly and he heard the movement coming from the wooden house. He quickly withdrew his attention.
The child, who was originally sleeping peacefully, suddenly began talking in his sleep.
Unable to hear clearly what he was saying, Chi Hao couldn't help but move closer.
I wonder if this guy can "summon" the mysterious businessman tonight...
In fact, he had thought about letting this kid trade potions with the mysterious merchant to treat the blue beard tree, but in his opinion, the price of such a "miracle medicine" would be very high, right?
He didn't want the experiment to fail because of this, and of course he didn't want Xiao Risheng to be in danger.
Chi Hao remained vigilant and alert towards this mysterious businessman hiding in the dark.
Although so far, I haven't heard of Him doing anything bad.
"what are you doing here?"
A clear and slightly cold voice suddenly sounded, startling Chi Hao.
He turned around and saw Lan Yunqing appear beside him at some point, looking at him with a dim gaze.
Chi Hao quickly pulled away, "Oh my god, when did you come? I didn't even notice!"
Lan Yunqing ignored him.
Being in this blue beard forest is his home turf. How can he be discovered no matter where he appears?
He looked at the little boy who was talking in his sleep in the cabin.
"I heard from Mao Lin that you borrowed ten blue beard leaves from him? What are you doing now? Spying on my subjects?"
Lan Yunqing was full of doubts.
But after he asked, he still didn't hear an answer for a long time. He couldn't help but look back and saw Chi Hao staring at him in a daze.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and Chi Hao quickly turned his head away.
Lan Yunqing's stunning beauty under the moonlight seemed to be magnified to the extreme, easily capturing the attention of others.
What a monster!
Chi Hao muttered to himself, then turned his attention to the house and whispered, "Wait a little longer, I don't have an answer yet."
Lan Yunqing had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.
He and Chi Hao stood by the window waiting when Chi Hao suddenly asked, "The potion I gave you... is working, right? I feel like the Bluebeard Forest seems to be coming back to life."
"Um."
Mentioning the Blue Hu Forest, Lan Yunqing smiled, "It has indeed recovered a lot."
Of course, it just regained vitality.
As long as the lesion is not eliminated, the crisis will be like a knife hanging over your head, and it will fall sooner or later.
Now we have just gained a little breathing time.
Chi Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Time passed minute by minute, and waiting aimlessly like this was really confusing. Just when Lan Yunqing was about to ask for the second time, there was suddenly movement in the room.
The blue beard leaf that the little boy had placed next to his pillow suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Because the light was dim, Lan Yunqing thought he was seeing things.
Just as he leaned forward slightly, wanting to see more clearly, he saw——
A large bag of unidentified objects appeared next to Xiao Risheng.
There was already not enough space on the bed, and suddenly a 30-pound weight appeared. The child's father kicked the bag over with his foot, and it fell on the child.
Xiao Risheng cried out and woke up from his sleep.
When all this happened, Chi Hao's mental power had already scanned the entire room.
Nothing was found.
Apart from him and Lan Yunqing, he didn't see any other people, so did the mysterious businessman really trade with Xiao Risheng through dreams?
Chi Hao thought of something and looked at Lan Yunqing and asked, "Did you find any suspicious people appearing in the Blue Hu Forest?"
"You are very suspicious." Lan Yunqing looked at him and said.
“…”
There were noises coming from other people in the house, and it was obvious that the whole family was awakened by Xiao Risheng.
"Don't leave yet."
Lan Yunqing said something to Chi Hao, then took the initiative to enter the wooden house. He soon came out holding Xiao Risheng in one hand and carrying the heavy bag in the other.
Xiao Risheng put his arms around Lan Yunqing's neck, his face flushed, and he felt like he was still dreaming.
"Uncle, it's the lord! I dreamed that the lord hugged me!"
Seeing Chi Hao, Xiao Risheng said with excitement and joy.
You are not dreaming...
Chi Hao reached out and picked up Xiao Risheng, then looked at Lan Yunqing. After he let go of his hand, he lowered his head to check the bag of heavy objects.
"What is this?" Lan Yunqing grabbed a handful of grains and studied them in the moonlight.
"Brown rice." Chi Hao took a look and replied, "A bag this big, is it enough for an adult to eat for a month?"
Lan Yunqing was a little stunned. "You mean, ten blue beard leaves were exchanged for this amount of rice?"
Blue beard leaves contain special energy. Eating one piece allows you to not eat anything else for a whole day, and the food you can exchange for one piece is enough to last for three days?
He couldn't help but look up and look at Chi Hao and Xiao Risheng.
"What's going on? Can you tell me now?"
Chi Hao also checked in with Xiao Risheng about the situation. After hearing his question, he thought for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of the mysterious businessman?"
Lan Yunqing shook his head.
"I traded this food for some candy from a mysterious merchant!" Little Risheng quickly replied. "I even got some candy!"
"How did you exchange with...this mysterious businessman?" Lan Yunqing looked at the child and asked softly.
"In a dream! I made a wish to him, and then I got it!" The child was very excited to face the lord at such a close distance for the first time, and basically answered every question.
Lan Yunqing was certain the child wasn't lying, but this incident was simply too unbelievable...
After understanding the whole story and confirming that he could not get any more information from Xiao Risheng, he sent the child back to his family.
Of course, he kept the bag of brown rice.
Afterwards, Lan Yunqing carried the bag of brown rice out of the residential area and went to the lake with Chi Hao to boil water to cook rice.
Although Chi Hao said that this brown rice was food, Lan Yunqing still had to test it himself before he could confirm it.
While waiting for the water to boil, he looked at Chi Hao again.
"This mysterious businessman...how much do you know? Did you know of his existence before?"
Lan Yunqing felt that most people would be unlikely to believe a child saying that he had traded candy with someone in a dream.
It is even more impossible for someone to be like Chi Hao, who, in order to test whether the child's words were true, not only borrowed blue beard leaves, but also squatted outside the house in the middle of the night to spy.
Chi Hao did not deny it either.
He plucked a blade of grass and held it in his mouth, saying, "Someone told me that it was a savior-like existence."
Savior……
Lan Yunqing looked at the water slowly boiling in the pot and asked, "Don't you believe it?"
"Do you believe it?" Chi Hao looked at him.
Lan Yunqing hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Right? In a world like this, how could there be a savior?" Chi Hao retracted his gaze and looked at the moon in the sky.
Although he was born and raised in the fortress, he couldn't possibly have such naive ideas.
How could a savior possibly appear in such a dangerous, barren land with unpredictable human hearts? Chi Hao wouldn't believe such nonsense anyway.
This person may have awakened some powerful supernatural power and used it to deceive people.
"But we did get food." Lan Yunqing looked at the brown rice in the bag, his eyes gleaming.
As a lord who governs tens of thousands of people, he knows only too well the importance of food.
Especially after the crisis of the Blue Hu mother tree, this almost became an indelible dark cloud hanging over Lan Yunqing's head.
"Although that guy may be an ambitious person, he seems to be a good person at the moment." Chi Hao shrugged.
"If you want more food, you have to protect Little Sunrise."
Chi Hao loyally told Lan Yunqing about Xiao Risheng's wish.
Lan Yunqing smiled slightly, "If he can solve the food crisis in Lanhu Town, then not only will he be named Lan, I will definitely reward him."
"Just remember it."
Chi Hao bit a blade of grass and said, "But you'd better not rely too much on this channel."
He remembered seeing Hongli organizing the mountain people to grow wild vegetables in Jufeng Mountain.
Lanhu Town is not far from Jufeng Town, but the road is bumpy, and it is impossible for people from Lanhu Town to go to Jufeng Town to exchange soybeans with his sister, so...
"Your Lanhu Town has such good climate conditions, why don't you try growing your own food or wild vegetables?"
Hearing this, Lan Yunqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The mutated blue beech trees are very aggressive. It is difficult for other plants to survive in the blue beech forest," he explained.
So they can only raise fish in the lake, but this is really not a solution.
"Is it difficult to survive?" Chi Hao scratched his head, "Then what is this?"
He pointed at the weed he had just pulled out and looked at Lan Yunqing in confusion.
"This grass has strong vitality and cannot be eaten..."
As he spoke, Lan Yunqing was stunned.
Although this wild grass has strong vitality, it cannot be seen in the woods when the blue beech forest is at its most prosperous.
However, at this moment, the area around the lake has been covered with this kind of weeds.
Because of inertia, Lan Yunqing had never paid special attention to these weeds in the past. Even if he had noticed them, he was only worried about the food problem of the blue beard mother tree and the people under his jurisdiction.
And now, with Chi Hao's reminder, he finally realized that something was wrong.
The proliferation of weeds proves the weakness of the bluegrass mother tree and its lack of control over the forest. If that's the case, why can't other crops be grown?
As for why we don’t see other types of plants growing now?
That’s because there are no other plant seeds in the forest!
Other plants are not as tenacious as this weed. The grass seeds are always hidden in the soil and will grow out desperately as long as the conditions are right.
"I'll give it a try!" Lan Yunqing said with shining eyes, "Thank you!"
Chi Hao chuckled and lay on the ground again, crossing his legs proudly.
He looked at the moon in the sky, his smile slowly fading. He remembered the last time he had such a leisurely time watching the moon outdoors was when he was with Old Xie...
Chi Hao couldn't help but think, if Old Xie was still alive in the center of the deserted city, if...
If the mysterious businessman can rescue Lao Xie, then no matter what ambitions the mysterious businessman has, he will recognize this savior!
-
Ping An Grocery Store.
"Brother Xiaoqi, why didn't you let me trade soybeans just now?" Tang Yu'an asked, "Is it because Brother Chihao is in Lanhu Town?"
Zhou Qi shook his head.
"I've considered that, but not entirely," he said. "It's better to keep the dream bottle transaction separate from reality."
That batch of soybeans was the material they traded with Hongli. Does anyone know if Hongli made any marks on the soybeans?
In order to avoid being exposed, it is better to be cautious.
Tang Yu'an thought about it and agreed. When doing business in the name of a mysterious merchant, it would be safer to use goods produced by the mall.
He nodded to show that he understood, then opened the window again, threw the little boy's bottle back, and took out another bottle from the sea of dreams.
Although he really wanted to contact the new dream wisher, thinking of Old Xie who was still in the center of the deserted city, he reached out to the three bottles with brighter light balls.
As he opened the cork, a ball of light floated into the air and a voice like a dream talk sounded.
“Save me…save me…”
The familiar voice was still as weak as before. It was actually Old Xie who was trapped in the center of the deserted city.
Huh? Didn't the primary healing potion from last time work? Why is he still so lifeless, like he's hanging on to his last breath?
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi, expressing his confusion with his eyes.
Zhou Qi speculated: "Could it be because he was too badly injured to open the bottle and take the medicine?"
“It’s possible!”
Tang Yu'an felt that this should be the truth, but...
"The center of the deserted city is now flooded. He actually managed to survive for this long without taking any medicine. It's really amazing!"
Tang Yu'an was really curious about how Lao Xie survived.
This survivability is really too strong!
The water depth at No. 1 Store has reached more than four meters. As the center of a deserted city upstream of the flood, it shouldn't be lower than this, right?
How on earth could a person who was so injured that he was unconscious survive in such a vast ocean?
"What should we do now?" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but feel worried when he heard the light ball's cry for help. "Should we continue to trade potions to him?"
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Can we put it in a bottle?"
"If it drips into the water, won't it be a waste?" Tang Yu'an said with some heartache.
"If he was submerged in water, at least he could have been exposed to some of the medicine. Even though it was diluted by the flood water, it's better than no exposure at all."
Tang Yu'an hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, then give him one drop this time. If you find it helps next time, give him more."
After all, healing potions are still very precious. Even if the deal is not done, Tang Yu'an doesn't want to waste them like this.
So, they used the same method as last time to complete the transaction with Lao Xie and got an earth crystal from him.
[You completed a profitable transaction with a Dream Wisher, Dream Fragment +1, Points +180, Experience Points +6]

In the deserted city at night, the moon appears and disappears in the sky.
The rushing water has shown a tendency to slow down a little, but it still continues to flow out from the center of the deserted city. No one knows where the source of the flood is.
Most creatures fled along the flood towards the surrounding areas of the deserted city. However, in such a torrent, there was a weak figure that stood out.
It turned out to be a big rat with half of its arm broken.
It kept waving its remaining front paws and hind legs in the turbulent torrent, avoiding the hunter's pursuit with incredible flexibility, and continued to approach the center of the deserted city against the direction of the water.
The big rat swam and swam, swimming non-stop, as if it was heading towards the center of the deserted city tirelessly.
In the sky, a falcon flew by.
This is a mutant falcon. Its body is more than one meter long, and when its wings are spread, it seems to cover the sky and the moon.
In the darkness of the night, with its good eyesight, it quickly discovered this unique mouse.
Although it was just an ordinary mouse, not even as big as its claws, the falcon did not despise it.
Ordinary mice mean no danger, and you can still fill your stomach by catching a few.
Then the falcon flapped its wings and began to dive.
It opened its sharp claws and watched the poor mouse die under its claws and become its snack.
At this time, the mouse swam across a certain area, and then the accident happened.
The mouse, which was originally much smaller than the falcon's claws, suddenly began to swell up, and its aura also rose steadily.
The falcon was about to dive, but it was too late to control its body and stop.
"roar!"
The giant bear, having regained its original size, raised its head and let out an angry roar at the falcon. Its huge paws slapped the water, stirring up huge waves.
Then it slapped the falcon again, stretching out its huge bear paw and knocking it down into the water.
The falcon let out a painful cry and flapped its wings. Blue lightning shot out from its wings and struck towards the giant bear.
At the critical moment, a wall of earth rose from the ground and surrounded the giant bear.
By the time the power of the thunder and lightning faded and the giant bear removed the earth wall, the falcon had already broken free from the water and fled in a panic, flapping its wings tremblingly.
“Roar! Roar!”
The giant bear roared, its anger that had nowhere to vent almost made it lose its mind. At this time, even the most powerful mutant creatures did not dare to approach it.
Finally, the giant bear's movements gradually weakened.
It stopped its meaningless roar and lowered its head to lick its forelimb where one of its paws had been lost.
Then it swam in the water, came to a building, climbed up with great effort, and sat down tiredly.
The giant bear's legs were still soaked in water.
“Clatter—crater—”
The sound of water around never stopped, and all kinds of terrible noises echoed in the center of the deserted city.
At some point, the giant bear kicked its legs and stepped on a large rock under the water with its right foot.
At this moment, it suddenly discovered something, bent down and reached into the water, stretched out its only remaining arm, and dug under the stone.
After a while, it took out a yellowish crystal from the water, which was shining brightly in the moonlight.
Finally, a hint of joy appeared on the giant bear's depressed and aggrieved face.
It immediately threw the two earth crystals into its mouth, then closed its eyes and began to digest the energy it had swallowed.
The giant bear, who was concentrating on digesting energy, did not notice that a crystal stone that was originally stuck in the crack of the stone under the huge rock suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a drop of emerald green potion appeared at the original location of the crystal and was absorbed the moment it touched the big stone.
“Save me, save me!”
In the darkness of the night, the cry for help, which no one could hear, seemed to become more urgent.
-
"I hope Lao Xie is safe and sound!"
Tang Yu'an threw Xie Chaori's message in a bottle back into the sea of dreams, then rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "The transaction is complete, let's draw the lottery!"
Today’s lucky wheel spin has not been used yet!
"I hope I can draw another points-doubling card!" Tang Yu'an made a wish.
Having only one card is not enough. If there is a doubling effect today, the grass and stones alone can bring him tens of thousands of points!
"It should be possible." Zhou Qi said.
"Um!"
Tang Yu'an stared at the big turntable, and when he saw the pointer of the turntable finally stop, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at his expression, Zhou Qi felt something was wrong, "An An?"
Tang Yu'an came back to his senses and said to him excitedly: "Brother Xiaoqi, I can fly!"
"Floating technique?" Zhou Qi felt something was wrong.
"No, it's flying!"
Tang Yu'an was so happy that he jumped up and down in the attic, forgetting everything else, "I won the flying skill!"
Zhou Qi was also surprised.
Flying? Does this mean you can fly freely in the air?
"An An, take a look at the skill description and read it to me!" Zhou Qi pulled Tang Yu An and urged.
"OK!"
Tang Yu'an opened the skill panel to check.
