Chapter 502: I've packed it up for you guys
"Long time no see, hey, this is my sister, Xixi... Hey!"
"Come down quickly and stop being naughty." Tank stood in front of the huge tombstone, looking doting yet a little caught off guard.
Jingshu squinted her eyes and looked at the person who was standing next to a mountain-like tank just now, looking like a pitiful porcelain doll. In the blink of an eye, she was attracted by the large tombstone in front of Jingshu's villa. In the blink of an eye, she climbed up the huge tombstone that was more than ten meters high and ran a long way.
From a distance, I heard a voice that still had a hint of childishness coming from it:
"Brother, brother, is this the courtyard wall of a wealthy family? This is too spectacular! How much grain would it take to buy such a large piece of land in the imperial capital?"
Jing Shu laughed and said, "The land in Wucheng is not valuable. Such a large piece of land can't even be exchanged for a toilet in the imperial capital."
Tank chuckled, "Now, whether it's the Imperial Capital or anywhere else, most of the buildings have been destroyed. Land is extremely valuable everywhere, and any house is equally valuable. However, the Imperial Capital is very densely populated, and the class structure is more pronounced, so it's true that few people can afford such a large house anymore."
The little girl finally climbed down. I don't know how she walked so quickly on the smooth tombstone. She adjusted her collar and pulled her red coat straight. After taking a deep breath, she bowed respectfully to Jingshu.
"Anyway, I have to thank Sister Mirror on behalf of my stupid brother. Thank you for taking care of him along the way. Not only did you save him many times, but you also let him bring back my favorite eggs. I can't thank you enough for such a great favor. From now on, if there's anything we need help from, Sister Mirror will just let me know."
Tank was scratching the back of his head with a chuckle, and was kicked by his sister: "Brother, is this how you should thank people? You should thank them properly." As she said that, she forced Tank to bow as well, which made Jingshu laugh and cry.
"These are some local specialties brought from the imperial capital. I hope Sister Mirror likes them." The little man took out some dry goods that were abundant in the imperial capital and some new products from the end of the world from his bag.
For example, this one called black insect ginseng is a new species of the apocalypse. After the black insects are dried and ground into powder, they can be made into various pasta. The taste is light or even bitter, but it also has certain nutrients and anti-dark substances. It is known as the ginseng among insects. It is very good to improve the meal occasionally. Jingnai likes it very much.
The two followed Jingshu into the backyard of the villa. Although the temperature outside was several degrees below zero, the yard was warm as spring. There were fluorescent lights illuminating the crops, which was completely different from the dark and cold world outside.
And the yard is even more lively, with the vibrant apricot trees, peach trees, coffee trees... as well as the chickens and ducks raised in pens, the bleating sheep, and the old sows rolling around with humming sounds. Everything looks so beautiful and comfortable, just like a rich farm stay.
Wait, that's...
Tank slowly opened his mouth and saw two fat geese from a distance... They seemed to be fighting. They still had the familiar movements, but their body shapes were different.
Tank pointed at the fat goose and said in shock: "Then, those two..."
Jingshu nodded: "Yes, it's Dahua and Goudan."
Xixi exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's only been a few months, how come they've gotten so fat? No matter how many good things we feed them in the capital, they still can't gain weight. Furthermore, they're picky eaters and won't eat a lot of things. How did Sister Jingzi do it?"
Jingshu just laughed and said nothing. It would be fine if she just starved for a few days.
"Are these all the chicks born by Dahua? So many?" Tank pointed at the group of chicks behind him in disbelief. It has been almost three years since the apocalypse, and the two geese have only given birth to a few chicks in total. It hasn't been long since then, and there are chicks running all over the ground here. The Mirror family really has a way.
In fact, this is not all, otherwise Jingshu was afraid of scaring the people coming from the imperial capital. She wanted to show her strength but also hide it a little. She just didn't expect that the people coming would be them.
Then I saw Grandma Jing carrying a string of goslings, her face wrinkled with smile: "Eight goslings have been packed for you, hurry up and eat something first, there is no rush to leave."
Xixi opened her eyes wide, looking at the string of goslings in Jingnai's hands that were as cute as quails. She was so happy that she took these precious goslings and stroked them gently. The warmth of the goslings' fur was clearly transmitted to her hands, and their strong heartbeats showed that these goslings were very healthy, not the sickly goslings bred in the imperial capital.
You are so energetic!
Tank scratched his head and said, "We're not going to eat. We're in a hurry to get back."
Grandma Jing was anxious: "How can you come so far without eating? The meal is ready, all of it is Wucheng's specialty. Young man, have some roasted kidneys to nourish yourself, and little girl, have more barbecued meat. Grandma also brought you roasted sweet potatoes and toothpick cumin meat to eat on the way, and some of my homemade egg noodles to cook at home..."
Xixi swallowed hard. It had been so long since she had eaten such delicious food. Tank was a little embarrassed. "We are really in a hurry. How about Xixi go and eat something? I won't eat. I just have something to tell Jingzi."
In the end, he was afraid of causing trouble, but he also felt sorry for his sister and wanted her to eat something.
Jingshu nodded and said, "That's it. Xixi, go eat something. Tank, don't eat and just stay here and talk to me for a while. Grandma, bring them some extra food for the journey."
Hearing that her brother would be able to eat soon, Xixi embarrassedly followed Jingnai to eat.
The yard returned to its tranquility and peace. This was a piece of pure land after the end of the world. Staying here made one feel safe.
Time was urgent, so Tank briefly talked about the situation of Monkey and Monk and then got straight to the point. Fortunately, the two were not in danger of life, and all they could do now was to take care of them.
A group of people went to the United States, and three of them returned seriously injured.
Tank then pulled out photos of the seeds from that time. "Those seeds from the Imperial Capital, after months of research, still haven't found a way to completely eliminate the radiation. They can actually be planted, but the germination rate is a bit low, and there's the possibility of unpredictable consequences like genetic modification. But from what they said, they don't want to waste these precious seeds, so..."
Jingshu slowly narrowed her eyes. What she said was very meaningful. She had reminded the other party at the beginning that this batch of seeds had special radiation. She had a way but it would cost extra to remove the radiation from the seeds. At that time, the other party said that they would find a way themselves. In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and now it seemed that they could not find any good solution, so they came to her to discuss it.
"Oh? So?"
Tank's face flushed. "They said, can we still do what we agreed to do?"
Jingshu smiled, her smile was easy: "Of course." So, some things really can't be turned back until you hit the wall. She said she didn't believe it at that time, and now she comes to her again after such a long time.
Tank exhaled softly, "That's great."
