Chapter 235
Green, green hair?
Tang Yu'an looked at the man's long green hair. Although the name was quite appropriate, wasn't it a bit too casual?
He opened his eyes slightly and was about to say something when he heard some movement coming from the abandoned house.
Green Eyes finally emerged from the shadows and cautiously approached the cave entrance.
The young man standing at the entrance of the cave finally saw his appearance clearly and was slightly stunned.
Green eyes kept staring at him.
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Green Eyes panicked and subconsciously wanted to hide again, but was grabbed by the arm.
At the same time, plants suddenly grew out from under his feet and bound his feet tightly.
He was frightened for a moment and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
"S-Sorry!"
The green-haired young man quickly let go of his hands, and at the same time, the vines that tightly bound the green-eyed man's legs also loosened.
"I thought you were going to run... and then I did this subconsciously... I, I didn't mean to..."
The green-haired young man explained in a panic, and when he saw that the green-eyed man stayed where he was and did not run away, he slowly stopped talking.
He looked at the sore on Green Eyes' face.
After one night, with the help of intermediate healing potion, the abscesses on Green Eyes' face no longer bleed and most of them have scabbed over.
After the scab formed, it looked even scarier than before.
The young man stretched out his hand and tried to touch the green-eyed girl's cheek, but when he was about to touch her, he stopped.
"Does it hurt?" he asked softly.
Tears suddenly welled up in green eyes.
He couldn't understand what the young man said, but he could see the emotions in his eyes and the tenderness and heartache in his tone, and he could tell it.
He suddenly felt very wronged and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Ah…Ah…”
He wanted to express something urgently, but could only make some meaningless sounds.
"Does it hurt?"
Seeing him crying, the young man felt a little helpless.
At this time, Tang Yu'an next to him handed over a handkerchief.
He looked sideways, thanked Tang Yu'an, then took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from his green eyes.
"Stop crying...it will hurt more if your tears touch the wound..."
The more he talked, the harder Green Eyes cried. Finally, he had to calm down and Green Eyes slowly stopped crying.
The green-haired young man finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell backwards.
Green Eyes was so scared that he leaned out of the hole to support him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him sitting down in the wheelchair.
"Can you please come out first?" the green-haired young man said weakly, "I'll help you check your wound and treat it..."
Green eyes looked at him in confusion.
Tang Yu'an gestured beside him and repeated the word "come out".
"Come out... come out?"
When Green Eyes crawled out of the hole, Tang Yu'an gave him a thumbs up again, "Yes, that's it!"
Green Eyes couldn't help but smile.
When he was crawling out, his arms and calves rubbed against the edge of the cave, and the wounds that had just scabbed over were rubbed open again, and blood flowed out again.
The green-haired young man felt distressed when he saw this.
He took Green Eyes' hand and said, "You're hurt again... It's all my fault..."
Green eyes looked at him with some confusion, and when he pointed it out, he realized that his hand was bleeding.
Such pain was nothing to him. On the contrary, because the toxins on the surface were purified, he felt much more relaxed, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
No matter what, injuries must be dealt with.
Tang Yu'an took out the hemostatic powder and bandage, and was about to help him apply the medicine and bandage when the green-haired young man took it over.
He was very nervous about Green Eyes. Even though he was still weak, he took care of Green Eyes' affairs personally. It can be seen that their relationship was really good.
Feeling his and Tang Yu'an's concern, Green Eyes slowly relaxed.
A pair of bright green eyes looked at the green-haired young man, and there was gradually more trust and dependence in their eyes.
Tang Yu'an looked at them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Then, thinking of something, he couldn't help but frowned in confusion.
Do you really want to be called Green Hair?
However, after the young man bandaged his wound, the green-eyed man took out a nameplate from his pocket and handed it to him reluctantly.
The young man blinked, took the nameplate, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"Ah, is this mine?" As soon as he got the nameplate, he had an impression of it, and several vague images flashed through his mind.
He just couldn't remember any more information.
Green Eyes nodded and stared at the nameplate eagerly, his eyes full of reluctance.
This is what the big tree was carrying when he was washed by the water. Later, he turned into a tree and his clothes were torn, leaving only this sign.
He carried it with him for a long, long time.
Seeing the tree return to human form, Green Eyes thought he was leaving, so he decided to stay secretly...
However, now, he still took out the nameplate and returned it to the tree.
"Black Jade."
The green-haired young man stroked the words on the nameplate and suddenly said in a daze, "I remember now, this should be my name!"
"Wow, this name is nice!" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but say.
Much better than green hair!
He quickly marked his name on the map.
"Name...name..." The green eyes looked at Mo Yu, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
"Yes, that's my name."
Mo Yu held Green Eyes' hand, a look of joy on his face. He said softly, "My name is Mo Yu."
"Ink... Ink... Green?"
Tang Yu’an: ...Why are you green again?
Mo Yu smiled and did not correct Green Eyes' pronunciation. Instead, he said, "Just call me Mo Mo. It's easy to pronounce."
Green Eyes tilted his head: "Momo?"
"Yes, I—" Mo Yu pointed at himself, "Mo Mo."
"Mo Mo!" Green Eyes called out decisively this time.
Mo Yu smiled with her eyes curved, then stretched out her hand towards him.
The green eyes did not avoid it like they did when facing Tang Yu'an, and let Mo Yu's hand fall on his head.
Mo Yu gently placed her hand on his head and said with a smile, "Well, call me that from now on."
A smile appeared in the green eyes, with a hint of shyness in it, but his eyes flashed with joy as he looked at Mo Yu.
Tang Yu'an watched from the side, thought for a moment and asked, "Should we give Green Eyes a new name as well?"
Mo Yu thought about it and shook his head, "This is his name. It may have a special meaning. How can we just give it to him casually?"
Tang Yu'an hesitated and expressed his guess: "That is... do you think there is a possibility that this name was given by you?"
Mo Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
He heard the boy say, "Green Eyes has been living in this poisonous fog. I'm afraid you're the only one who has come into contact with him."
Although Green Eyes did not tell Tang Yu'an about his specific situation, since they met in the dream, his activities on the map have never exceeded this area.
The farthest he went was to the fork in the road, and he never left the green fog.
Judging from this information, the probability of Green Eyes meeting other people is very small.
Moreover, Mo Yu's nameplate is somewhat similar to Chi Hao's. Even if he is not from the fortress, he should have something to do with it.
He most likely came to this abandoned chemical plant by accident.
Mo Yu should be the only friend that Green Eyes knows, and he met him later.
When they first met in the dream, Green Eyes couldn't even speak, so it was very likely that his name was given to him by Mo Yu.
Obviously, Mo Yu didn't know this.
"Isn't there a... businessman?"
Mo Yu recalled that this was what he heard Green Eyes say after he regained consciousness. There seemed to be another one, but he did not hear the name clearly.
Tang Yu'an couldn't reveal that he was the mysterious businessman, so he thought for a moment, looked at Green Eyes and asked, "By the way, how did you get to know the businessman?"
"Know...know?"
Green Eyes struggled to understand his words, and finally said, "In the dream... the merchant..."
"Oh!" Tang Yu'an suddenly realized, "You met our master in a dream? No wonder He sent us to rescue you!"
Green eyes looked at Tang Yu'an in confusion. He spoke too fast and he couldn't understand.
However, Tang Yu'an didn't mean to tell him.
Mo Yu, who was standing next to him, was taken aback when he heard this and said, "Meeting in a dream?"
"Well, this is an ability of our master." Tang Yu'an nodded, "He is a very powerful being!"
Mo Yu nodded, obviously he still remembered what superpowers were.
He looked into the green eyes and asked in a softer voice, "Did I really give you your name?"
"Name...name...chose..."
Green Eyes imitated his speech, just like he imitated Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's speech in the dream.
Mo Yu looked at him, and there was more heartache in her eyes.
"I don't remember..." he whispered, "Then I'll give you a better name, okay?"
"Green Eyes" doesn't really sound like a name.
"Okay..." Green Eyes said.
Mo Yu touched his head again and began to think.
Tang Yu'an, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little worried about Mo Yu's naming skills. Just as he was about to give him some advice, he heard Mo Yu's voice again.
"Then I'll call you Ai Lu, okay?"
Hearing this, Tang Yu'an repeated: "Love Green?"
"It's the Ai of youth." Mo Yu looked at the green eyes and said with a slight smile.
Tang Yu'an blinked. If he remembered correctly, the word "艾" means pretty or beautiful.
Beautiful green?
He looked at the innocent and clear green eyes of Green Eyes and nodded sincerely. It was indeed a name that suited him very well!
"Ai Lu, it sounds really nice!" Tang Yu'an affirmed.
It sounds much better than green eyes and green hair!
"It sounds good!" Green Eyes also nodded.
Mo Yu smiled and pointed at him, teaching: "Ai Lu."
Then he pointed at himself, "Mo Mo."
After he went back and forth two or three times, Green Eyes finally understood what he meant.
He widened his eyes slightly, pointed at himself, and asked, "Name... Ai, Ai Lu?"
"Yes, your new name." Mo Yu asked nervously, "Do you like it?"
"Like...like..."
Then Green Eyes rushed over with a smile, hugged him with both hands, and buried his face in his arms, just like he hugged the big tree every day in the past.
Of course the difference is...
The tree's body became so warm and soft that he wanted to hold it forever...
Mo Yu became flustered.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet... Don't rub against me... Wait until you're healed, then I'll hug you again..."
Watching Mo Yu gently coaxing Lu... no, it should be called Ai Lu, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but look back at Zhou Qi, and then saw...
The branches growing from Zhou Qi's head originally had green leaves, but now those green leaves have withered and died!
Tang Yuan stood up suddenly, no longer caring about Ai Lu and the others, and ran towards Zhou Qi anxiously.
But when he was halfway through the run, he felt a surge of heat coming.
He was forced to stop where he was, with his hands crossed in front of him to protect himself. The next moment, the figure of a four-eyed giant dog appeared in front of him, blocking the heat wave.
Black Pearl also appeared beside him.
They stared at Zhou Qi with eager eyes, and dazzling flames were rising from where Zhou Qi was.
Zhou Qi was completely engulfed in flames, just like when he was devoured by the fire spirit insect before.
"Brother Xiaoqi!"
Tang Yu'an wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the four-eyed giant dog. He could only watch him being burned by the flames from afar.
But he soon remembered something and slowly calmed down.
After swallowing the fire spirit insect, Brother Xiaoqi was no longer afraid of fire. Now it seemed that only the branches were burning, and his body did not undergo much change.
The raging fire burned Zhou Qi's protective suit to ashes, and the branches and leaves growing on his body also turned into charcoal in the flames.
Under Tang Yu'an's gaze, Zhou Qi, who had been motionless, clenched his hands into fists.
As he moved, the charcoal attached to his body fell off, revealing his body underneath which was still burning with flames.
All his clothes were burned to ashes, leaving only his underwear made of room temperature cloth.
At this time, the flames burning on his body gradually subsided and were taken back into his body. He also opened his eyes at this moment.
Those red eyes were filled with coldness, forming a sharp contrast with the heat radiating from his body.
However, when Tang Yu'an ran towards him, the coldness in his eyes slowly faded away, and his pupils returned to their original dark color.
"An An..." He called the boy softly.
"Brother Xiaoqi! Are you okay?"
Tang Yu'an rushed to his side, took his hand and carefully examined his body, then looked at the status of his employee panel and found that the words "Spirit Insect Devouring" had disappeared.
He asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"
It’s so fast this time!
Zhou Qi saw what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Well, fire can restrain the wood spirit insect and help me suppress it faster."
Of course, it will take a relatively long time to fully digest and absorb its energy.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Tang Yu'an hugged his arm and said with a smile: "I'm not too worried. I know you will be fine!"
He was able to successfully resist the fire spirit insects at the beginning. Now that Brother Xiaoqi has become so much stronger, there is no reason for him to fail here.
"You're really amazing this time. You broke free so quickly!"
It took two or three months to suppress the earth spirit insects. Tang Yu'an had already prepared for a long-term battle, but he didn't expect that he would recover on the second day.
Zhou Qi was actually quite surprised. He looked at Tang Yu'an and smiled, "You inspired me."
Tang Yu'an blinked, "You mean Fire Crystal and Flame Stone?"
Zhou Qi nodded.
Tang Yu'an immediately laughed triumphantly, "Hey, I'm still very useful at the critical moment!"
Then, Zhou Qi took out the lucky marbles he was carrying with him.
Seeing that the marbles were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief, while Tang Yu'an pulled at his underwear and said curiously: "Clothes made of metal room temperature cloth have a very high ignition point!"
The underwear of both of them is made of materials generated by "mutated metal + blue beard leaves + cotton cloth".
It was originally designed to protect key parts and act like a bulletproof vest, but I didn’t expect it to be so strong in fire resistance.
Zhou Qi also nodded.
"Are you okay?" At this time, Mo Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was also pushed over by Ai Lu.
He originally just came over to show concern and say hello to his savior, however, when he got closer to Zhou Qi, especially when Zhou Qi looked at him, his face turned pale.
Fear surged from the bottom of my heart without any warning.
"Mo...Mo Mo?" Feeling that something was wrong with him, Ai Lu couldn't help but call him.
Mo Yu shook his head with a pale face, pretending to be calm in front of him, but when he looked at Zhou Qi again, he subconsciously avoided his sight.
Seeing this, Tang Yu'an had no choice but to say to Zhou Qi: "Brother Xiaoqi, go change your clothes first, I'll talk to him."
Zhou Qi was not very clear about what happened next, but he could sense that Mo Yu was the original host of the wood spirit insect.
As for Ai Lu beside him, it should be the green eyes.
"Okay." He nodded, then turned and went back to the RV.
Only after Zhou Qi left did Mo Yu feel much better and his breathing became smoother.
"You saw it just now."
Tang Yu'an said, "Yesterday you turned from a tree back into a human, and my companion turned into a wooden man in your place."
Mo Yu nodded. He also heard the conversation between the two young men.
"This is his ability, but it's not completely without danger." Tang Yu'an said, "Now he is out of danger, and your fear of him..."
"You can think of it as the price you need to pay for him saving you."
"I see……"
Mo Yu has turned into a big tree for many years. In his vague memory, the first time he saw Ai Lu, he was still a child.
And now, he has grown up.
He hadn't been able to turn back into a human for so many years. Even though Ai Lu used potions to treat him and brought his tree body back to life, he still couldn't turn back...
He suddenly turned back into human form yesterday, which must be related to these two teenagers.
He didn't care about the "price". It was extremely painful to be transformed from a human into a tree, fixed in place, unable to move or speak.
If it weren't for Ai Lu's company, his consciousness would probably have dissipated.
He was only infinitely grateful to be able to turn back into a human.
"I haven't had time to thank you yet." Mo Yu said, "I owe you my life."
Tang Yu'an shook his head, "Don't say that..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Qi, who had changed his clothes and returned, continued, "Yes, we don't want your life, you just need to pay back the points."
"Points?" Mo Yu asked in surprise, "What is that?"
"We are members of the Ping'an Chamber of Commerce," Zhou Qi said. "Points are our internal currency. You can also think of them as money... Money, you know what it is, right?"
"I roughly know." Mo Yu nodded, "Then how much do I need to repay?"
"One million." Zhou Qi said.
Xie Chaori also offered the same price, so there was no reason for Mo Yu to be discounted. Of course, he didn't raise the price either.
"That doesn't sound like a small amount..." Mo Yu couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in a short time."
"It's okay, just come back with us and pay it back slowly." Zhou Qi said lightly.
Mo Yu: “…”
It’s not that he didn’t want to return it, but the pressure Zhou Qi gave him was too strong, making it difficult for him to withstand it.
But when he saw Ai Lu beside him, he forced himself to calm down.
"Okay, I'll go back with you." He whispered, "But please don't embarrass Ai Lu, he doesn't know anything."
"I think it might be better for him to go back with us." Zhou Qi said.
In his opinion, this abandoned chemical plant is not a place where people can live, and it is for their own good to follow them back home.
"Yes, are you comfortable with Ai Lu staying here alone?" Tang Yu'an also said.
"Don't worry, we won't restrict his freedom. He can leave at any time. As for you... you may have to wait until you pay back the points before you can leave."
Brother Xiaoqi did pay a price for him and took a huge risk, so one million points is not excessive.
What's more, he is a wood-type ability user, so he can actually achieve one million points very quickly.
Mo Yu hesitated. He looked at the confused Ai Lu and said, "I'm afraid he will be frightened."
He was deeply impressed by the way Ai Lu hid from him at the beginning. If he took Ai Lu to the outside world, to that kind of environment... could he adapt to it?
"We can take it slow." Tang Yu'an said, "We will stay here and heal his injuries first."
Once his injuries are healed, others will no longer treat Ai Lu as a monster, and the possibility of him being irritated will be much reduced.
"How many points does this cost?" Mo Yu asked, "Let me help him pay it back."
Tang Yu'an paused. He regarded Ai Lu as a friend and really didn't want to take his money.
But Mo Yu obviously didn't think so.
He continued, "500,000 points, is that enough?"
Tang Yu'an: "..."
I really want to say, "The boss is so generous!"
Zhou Qi then said, "You don't need that much. 200,000 is enough."
"Okay, deal!" Mo Yu said without thinking.
Ai Lu's injury seemed very serious to him, and he didn't know how to treat him. If these two young men really had a way, he was willing to bear any debt.
Tang Yu'an looked at Mo Yu, then at Zhou Qi, and was amazed.
Zhou Qi wrote an IOU and asked Mo Yu to sign it.
Then he put the IOU away and asked Tang Yu'an, "An'an, you haven't used up all your healing times for today, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Yu'an didn't waste any time, came to Ai Lu and performed healing magic.
A bright light rose up, covering Ai Lu and Mo Yu in the wheelchair. Although the focus was on Ai Lu, Mo Yu also benefited from the healing effect.
When the holy and dazzling white light came on, Mo Yu stared at Tang Yu'an in a daze.
He felt the healing energy contained in this light. His body was repairing rapidly, and his energy and strength were returning.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhou Qi, then looked at Tang Yu'an.
Originally, he thought he was making a deal with the devil, but he never expected that there was actually a real angel beside the devil...
