Chapter 706 Spiritual Seed
"I'll go with you guys." The old man looked at the car and asked, "Are there any seats?"
Shen Yanming nodded: "Yes, you can just sit in the passenger seat."
The group followed the path to Xiaoshi Town, and the old man pointed to the location and asked Shen Yanming to stop the car.
“This is where the victims are buried.”
The couple got out of the car and looked at the densely packed tombstones, feeling very sad. Looking up into the distance, seeing the fallen rocks covering half of the town, one could imagine how tragic the disaster was when it came.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were very depressed, even An An Nuan Nuan was silent.
The old man walked to a tombstone, reached out his hand to wipe away the dust on it, and said sadly: "Old friend, I come to see you again..."
The couple came here by coincidence, so they didn't make any preparations.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the surroundings, handed An An Nuan Nuan to Shen Yanming, and walked away.
Because there were no people around, Shen Yanming could see her figure at a glance, so he didn't stop her.
Bi Qiaoan walked about two or three hundred meters before he picked a few blooming wild flowers from a patch of weeds.
Shen Yanming saw her movements and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Of course, he didn't notice that his wife also did some small tricks.
When Bi Qiaoan was picking flowers, he also scattered the seeds nourished by spiritual energy in the space.
Mixed in with the weeds, there was no way to be sure whether the grain seeds could take root, sprout, or even grow. But she wanted to try, so she did it.
Bi Qiaoan walked around and picked all the wild flowers she could find, arranged them simply, and finally tied them into a small bouquet.
After returning, he stuffed it into Shen Yanming's hands, and the family of four bowed reverently towards the grave.
When Shen Yanming was offering sacrifices, he was thinking: "I hope you can be reborn in a peaceful and happy world in your next life. I hope you can have a smooth life."
What Bi Qiaoan was thinking was: "I hope that if you are still alive in heaven, you can bless the seeds I sow to blossom and bear fruit. I don't know what the world will be like in the future, but as long as there is food, there is hope for mankind."
An An Nuan Nuan didn't know what this was doing, but she still bowed like her parents.
After the old man finished talking to his friend, he wiped his tears with his arm and asked Shen Yanming: "Are you still watching? If not, let's go back."
Shen Yanming nodded: "I'll take you home." It's very depressing here.
The old man smiled through his tearful eyes, "Thousands of victims are buried here. You have a kind heart, young man."
Shen Yanming smiled. What could he say? He couldn't say anything.
The group returned to the town they came from, dropped the old man off, and then strolled around the suburbs.
When she saw some wild flowers and weeds, Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming to stop the car and she went down to pick two.
At first, Shen Yanming didn't realize what was happening. But after many times, he figured out something.
When Bi Qiaoan was about to get out of the car to spread some seeds again, Shen Yanming stopped him: "That's enough. Too much is as bad as too little."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "You know everything?"
"You did it so obviously, how could I not know?" Shen Yanming really wanted to hug his wife and give her a kiss, but the front and back seats blocked his way, so he gave up the idea.
Bi Qiaoan felt a little guilty: "I just thought that the environment here is too bad. If we don't do something, the local residents may not be able to survive."
"Then you can't sow spiritual energy seeds so frequently." Shen Yanming explained patiently: "If you only plant a little bit, or a few seeds, you can still say that it is the product of environmental changes and gene mutations. But if they bloom everywhere, it's obvious to others that this is man-made."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: “I know, so I only planted some spiritual seeds in Xiaoshi Town, and other places only planted high-quality seeds produced there.
When someone discovers it, they can give the spiritual energy seed a name of "miracle" and say that thousands of victims are blessing the citizens of Qinghua."
Shen Yanming was relieved when he heard her say this. "Well, don't be reckless in the future. If you have any ideas, discuss them with me first."
"Okay, okay. Got it."
The couple wandered around the suburbs for two hours, looking for a suitable place to sow seeds before leaving Beiha City.
It's really rare for someone to leave just after arriving.
Next stop, Simon City.
There are many ranches here. The couple asked around and drove to one that had a very good reputation.
Hearing that they were guests from afar, the ranch owner warmly received the family of four. However, there was no meal provided, so they had to find their own way to eat.
Shen Yanming had no objection to this. There was plenty of food in their space, and even the food they brought with them was quite a bit.
So, when the rancher saw the two people taking dried meat, eggs and noodles from the car, his eyes widened. Their land here is very large, but it doesn't produce much grain. Especially in the past two years, the weather has been bad, and even a lot of pasture grass has been frozen to death, not to mention wheat seedlings.
"Sir, are these all white flour?" The rancher pointed at the flour bag in the trunk and asked Shen Yanming.
"Yes, this is food we brought from our hometown. It's food for the journey."
The rancher hesitated, not knowing whether he should speak.
Shen Yanming rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you need?"
"Well, I, I want to trade some white flour with you. I know this request may be a bit abrupt, but we really haven't eaten pasta for a long time. Here, besides beef and mutton, we can only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes that have been planted for a short time.
Guest, if it is convenient for you, could you please give me some food in exchange?"
Chen Yanming deliberately made things difficult: "How much do you want?"
The rancher was delighted and said, "See how much you can give us and whether we have what you need here."
The rancher vigorously promoted his own products: "Although most of our livestock are owned by the alliance, they have not cut off our livelihood. One third of them are still ours.
I have cows, sheep, horses and donkeys. We can slaughter whatever meat you want to eat on the spot."
Shen Yanming went to take a look and found that the animals in the pasture were skinny and listless.
The rancher was a little ashamed. "Alas, the summers here are too short and the winters are too long. The grass doesn't grow well, so the livestock have nothing to eat. It's only because I started storing fodder in the spring that I can barely keep them alive."
Shen Yanming asked: "If it is so difficult, why not give it all to the escort team? Or, transport fodder from the central and southern regions."
"We wanted to, but the guards also have a lot of them and can't take care of themselves. As for the fodder you mentioned, we tried it, but the cost was not proportional to the output. We tried it twice and we can't afford it anymore.
Now raising these is purely a habit. If we can keep them alive, we keep them. If we really can’t, we keep a few for meat and milk, and kill the rest.”
