Chapter 159 Chapter 159 "This is easy, we...
"This is easy. We live here anyway, so this is what we should do. We will do our best, so please rest assured." Lao Cao patted his chest, making a loud clacking sound, and said with a smile.
Li Baili nodded and thanked him, "That's good! You can always come to us if you need anything. We will probably come every day. But if your illness is almost healed, we may go around the area."
"I understand. I will tell them." Lao Cao nodded and answered thoughtfully.
The matter had been discussed, and Li Baili and Li Hanshuang got up and left.
When they returned to the villa halfway up the mountain, Changsheng was actually waiting for them in the open space. Li Baili was unable to dodge in time, so she had to walk over with Li Hanshuang and pretended that she didn't know him at all.
Changsheng originally wanted to find Li Hanshuang, but because he did not see Li Hanshuang at the funeral, he thought that Li Hanshuang was afraid to show up because of guilt, and was barely considered a human being. Then he heard that Li Hanshuang was now in a villa halfway up the mountain, so he came to find him.
He still had the weapon in his hand, intending to fight to the death. He knew he couldn't win, but there was no point in living, and death would be the same. He should have died many years ago.
But at that time he met Li Baili, so he didn't die. Now that Li Baili is dead, what's the point of him living? He has no goal.
But he happened to see Li Baili again today.
His hands began to tremble so much that the weapon also made a sound like a rattlesnake. He stood there, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, unable to move forward or backward. His expression was dull and solemn, his eyes were serious, his pupils were slightly dilated, and his lips were slightly open. He looked extremely shocked.
He blinked slowly and found that Li Baili, who looked younger than him, next to Li Hanshuang had not disappeared. He realized that it didn't seem to be an illusion, and became even more shocked.
He subconsciously thought this Li Baili was the same Li Baili as before, so he shifted his gaze away from Li Hanshuang and stared at Li Baili. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped, and asked cautiously, "Why did you suddenly become like this?"
Li Baili blinked her eyes, her body stiffened, she lowered her head and hid behind Li Hanshuang. Li Hanshuang stood there with a smile on her face, looking like a thick wall.
Li Hanshuang blocked Changsheng's gaze. Changsheng suddenly came back to his senses and realized that Li Hanshuang was still here. He also remembered the purpose of his coming here, which was to fight Li Hanshuang to the death. He couldn't help but sneer, and there was a hint of bitterness on his face that was not there when he first appeared.
Li Baili secretly looked at him from behind Li Hanshuang, but he noticed her at this moment and looked over and made eye contact with Li Baili.
Li Baili was startled, as if she was caught by a ghost while observing it. She immediately hid back, looking like a rabbit that was scared back into the hole just after coming out.
This time, Changsheng really separated the Li Baili of the past from the Li Baili of the present, because he was very sure that the Li Baili of the past would never show this look in front of him.
The smile on his face disappeared, and he began to grit his teeth. His face turned slightly blue, and his facial muscles trembled and twitched twice, as if he was trying hard to control his turbulent emotions.
Li Hanshuang looked at his face for a while, half-smiled, like a kind-hearted senior giving advice, and said to him slowly, "You scared everyone."
The anger and courage that Changsheng had accumulated with great difficulty were deflated by these words, like a balloon punctured by a needle, and all was lost.
The expression on his face disappeared, and he looked confused and empty, like a blank sheet of paper. After a while, there was still no expression on his face, as if he was too tired to care about his expression.
He looked at Li Hanshuang with tired eyes drooping, and said weakly: "I originally wanted to kill you. If I couldn't kill you, being killed by you would also be an option. But what can I do now? I don't have any strength left. Who is the person behind you?"
Li Hanshuang felt sorry for him, restrained her expression, and replied: "He is also called Li Baili, an orphan, I picked him up, but I told others that he is my child, and he is not like ordinary children, he grows up very fast, if you come tomorrow, you can see what he looks like when he grows up."
Li Hanshuang glanced at Li Baili and said with a half-smile: "Don't look at him now. He looks like a teenager. In fact, he has only lived for a few days."
Changsheng's eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself: "No wonder, he looks a bit like Li Baili, but his temperament is completely different. If it was Li Baili, he wouldn't be afraid of me."
He said in a voice that only he could hear: "No matter when or where I appear in front of him, he won't be startled. Now it's really different."
Changsheng suddenly seemed to be a little overwhelmed, his eyes turned red and tears were about to fall. In the blink of an eye, he turned around and left, disappearing, but the sound of his crying seemed to still be in his ears.
Li Baili frowned and rubbed her ears. Seeing that he had indeed disappeared, she slowly moved away from Li Hanshuang and asked Li Hanshuang, "You should have noticed when he came. Why didn't you remind me?"
Li Hanshuang opened his eyes and said, "I thought you were still the same as before and didn't need my reminder. After all, we've only been back here for a few days, and there are so many things going on. How can I remember?"
Li Baili narrowed her eyes, looked at Li Hanshuang for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Whatever, it's over anyway."
Li Hanshuang tilted her head and asked, "Why don't you let me remember to remind you next time?"
Li Baili laughed and walked forward: "Come on, you may not remember it next time, what's the point of telling me now? Do whatever you want! I don't want to embarrass myself."
Li Hanshuang laughed loudly, and then walked towards Li Baili. Li Baili had already sat down next to the table in the yard. The stone bench was still there. It had been cleaned when he just came back, and it was still very clean.
Li Baili was sitting here, and Li Hanshuang was sitting next to him. She swayed on the stool, hugged him, and said with a smile: "I'm so happy. We are finally back. Maybe we can stay here in the future. The streets outside will soon be restored. We will have fun again in the future!"
Li Baili also hugged Li Hanshuang, smiling and mumbling faintly, "I just don't know what the streets will look like after they are restored."
Li Hanshuang put her chin on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Why don't we go and see it when the time comes? We can see it anyway."
After all, they won't die anytime soon.
Li Baihe laughed out loud: "Yes!"
After being in a trance for a while, they finally let go, made a pot of tea, took out the cakes they had stored away earlier, put them on the table, held the teacups, ate the cakes, looked at the sky, laughed, and talked about anything.
No matter what you talk about, there is no need to explain, and you won’t be unhappy. Don’t say what you don’t want to say, and skip what you want to skip. There is nothing to be sad about.
The next day, Li Baili grew up to look like she was in her twenties. She changed into new clothes and went out with Li Hanshuang, and they came to that street again.
There were almost no people on the street, but they could hear people talking not far away. Li Baili and Li Hanshuang went over to see and found that the crowd was gathered in a field.
They walked towards the field, and people near the field noticed them. Lao Cao walked out of the crowd and greeted them, so they asked what happened.
Lao Cao sighed, his face wrinkled as he said, "You two don't know, we searched the streets and confirmed that no one was still in the ruins, so we checked the house. There was no big problem with the house. We repaired what needed to be repaired and patched what needed to be repaired. We wrote it down, but it can't be done in a short time, so we left it there and arranged for someone to do it when we are free.
Then we went to the fields. After all, we all need to eat, and we still rely on the fields. But when we saw them, we were shocked. These things can't be called land! Because they can't be used for planting!"
"Can you tell me in detail?" Li Baili raised her eyebrows.
"After we planted the seeds, we couldn't find any traces at all," Lao Cao frowned and sighed, feeling extremely worried. "We originally planned to plant only a small plot of land to see how it would turn out, so we only planted the seeds in such a small plot of land.
We have selected the seeds, loosened the soil and applied fertilizers, and now we are just waiting for the seeds to germinate. This should happen quickly, but we checked again and again, and even sent people to watch over it, but there is no movement.
We suspected that there might be some changes in the soil, so we decided to dig a hole to check, but the seeds disappeared. We dug another hole, but still no seeds."
He slapped his thigh and shouted sadly, "All the seeds have been eaten! I don't know what ate them! There's not even an earthworm in there!
We have sent people to guard the place, but we haven't seen any cats or dogs, let alone cattle, sheep, or pigs! The living ones are all dead, and the dead ones are just lying there, either eaten or about to be eaten, so they can't get here at all."
Li Baili frowned and glanced at Li Hanshuang: I thought the soil had not changed much, but now it seems that it is still affected. I just don't know how to deal with it.
Li Hanshuang didn't know either, so he asked the system: "Do you have any solution?"
The system thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no solution at all. There are two ways to solve it. The soil has become like this because there is black gas in it. You can find a way to extract the black gas from the soil, and the soil will probably be able to return to its original state.
The other is that I give them a seed, and you take that seed and teach them how to plant it. No matter what, the seed I give them can definitely be planted, but they will get sick and die easily. "
"What about the others?" Li Baili asked.
"There must be an antidote within seven steps." The system said mysteriously.
