344 The 12th Store
◎Dandelions and yellow roses. ◎
Early in the morning, Lu Yao took Yan Gui and Hua Hu to walk on the ridge of the field, looking for some rare flowers and plants.
"Rare" is only for Lu Yao and the robot clerk. The old man and old woman living in the countryside have been dealing with the fields all their lives. Whether it is crops or weeds, they are very familiar with them.
Lu Yao squatted on the ridge of the field to observe a dandelion.
Dandelions can be used as medicine. Lu Yao saw villagers digging dandelions for children with nosebleeds. Fresh dandelions and dried dandelions can be boiled in water to drink to relieve heat.
Lu Yao observes plants in order to make fuller use of their abilities.
The ability to "become a flower before death" has no limit on Lu Yao. The only limit is her own knowledge reserve. The more she knows about plants, the closer the state of people after transformation will be to real plants, and the closer their feelings will be to plants.
Plants are not as sensitive to pain as humans, but like humans, they can survive even if they lose part of their trunk. The most important thing is that plants grow in the wild, freely accepting sunlight, breeze, soil, rain and snow, which is the biggest temptation for patients sleeping in cramped and dim rooms.
Plants take root in one place and will not change their position throughout their lives unless they are moved by humans.
This is very similar to the old man lying in bed. Lu Yao just thinks this similarity is very wonderful.
Yan Gui stepped forward and handed Lu Yao a bat.
The pitch-black bat curled up weakly in Yan Gui's palm, its belly still rising and falling slightly.
Bats are easy to see in the countryside at night. Villagers are used to calling them "sly mice". They like to haunt the narrow old corridors at night. When they spread their wings, they look like big moths, but they are rarely seen during the day.
Bats are nocturnal creatures. During the day, they like to hide in the dark and cool cracks in the rocks and walls to rest.
The one in Yan Gui's hand probably won't live long. Lu
Yao didn't reach out to take it, but casually pinched a small square card.
The shadow seemed to be conscious and gently wrapped around the bat's weak legs.
Yan Gui leaned over and hid the bat with the square card in the bushes behind him. After a
while, a not very energetic dandelion grew under the ridge of the field covered with silk grass.
Lu Yao initially tested his abilities with insects, voles, and birds in the fields. Now it can be considered as occasional reward. The bat may still survive the fierce sunlight during the day.
After walking for a while, Lu Yao suddenly stopped and a slight arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
There was a loquat tree in her garden, which was a little crooked and rugged, but very energetic.
Gu Liangshi followed his heart and became a loquat tree near the old house where he lived in his childhood.
Lu Yao was also able to see the mountain scenery and countryside near Anping through his eyes.
The Dream Fulfillment System was worried: "Did the old man really turn into a tree?"
Lu Yao: "It seems so."
The Dream Fulfillment System: "But this is a godless place, how can your ability..."
The Dream Fulfillment System couldn't understand, because according to the plan, it was clear that everything would blossom and bear fruit only after Lu Yao returned to the Light City.
Could it be that they pushed too hard, causing Lu Yao to wake up early?
But the monitoring interface in the background was still normal, and Lu Yao's condition was very stable, with no signs of waking up.
In a place that Lu Yao could not set foot in, the Dream Fulfillment System actually quietly upgraded once.
It finally knew its true position and mission.
This is a land without gods. Apart from Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao who intervened in the wish, only the three gods are not bound, so the seal imposed on it was also lifted.
The Dream-Fulfilling System was already disheartened because it could not find a way to send Lu Yao back to the City of Light safely.
Who would have thought that the shop owner would be so competitive and still find a new direction under the pressure of various harsh conditions.
The shop owner has always been more reliable than its host and it.
The Dream-Fulfilling System thought of the peculiarity of the land without gods. If the shop owner used her abilities wantonly in the land without gods, then she... wouldn't she be... on par with the three gods?
After following the shop owner for more than two years, the Dream-Fulfilling System's cognition was always refreshed by the shop owner, but her image in its heart was still so tall for the second time.
The first time was in Tomorrow City, when it learned that the shop owner came to pick it up in person. Lu Yao
ignored all the whispers, as an uninvited guest appeared in front of him.
Lu Mingxiao was standing on a small path in the distance, followed by several children of different ages.
At such an early time, those children were willing to follow Lu Mingxiao to wander around on the ridges of the fields, which showed how much they loved him. Lu
Yao, leaning on a wooden stick, walked slowly along the ridge of the field, greeted him at the intersection, and continued to move forward.
Lu Mingxiao said something to the children behind him, shook off those little followers, and followed Lu Yao and the robot alone.
Lu Yao walked to the bamboo forest where he dug bamboo shoots last time, found a clean stone to sit down, took a break, and observed the tall bamboos.
A sudden chill ran down his neck, and Lu Yao turned his head sharply.
Lu Mingxiao leaned against a bamboo tree not far away, his eyes bright red: "You're dying."
Lu Yao was in a very good mood, took the hot tea from Huawei, held it in his hand and drank two sips before talking to him: "You're not a college student, so why are you so free? You take care of children in the village every day."
Lu Mingxiao discovered yesterday that Lu Yao had used his abilities, and it was not until this morning that he understood why Brahma regarded this evil demon as a thorn in his side.
The main god of the Supreme Temple was still bound by the rules of the godless land, but a mere evil demon could control it. If she was allowed to become a god smoothly, the fourth god position alongside death, abyss, and fate would appear in the world.
If a low-ranking wild god of evil origin is allowed to sit on the fourth throne, the Supreme Temple will become the biggest joke in the world of gods and demons.
As a godslayer, he has a natural position and must kill such evil demons.
But for some reason, Lu Mingxiao can never be cruel to her.
He should have executed her immediately when he found the abnormality yesterday. At that time, he wanted to see what she was going to do.
Lu Mingxiao soon discovered that some strange plants appeared in the countryside, but he didn't understand her intention. He thought hard all night and still couldn't figure it out, so he came out early to block people.
The old lady was leisurely and contented, not afraid of him at all.
Lu Mingxiao was confused, but deep in his heart he was secretly happy, even his master hadn't noticed.
Due to his position, Lu Mingxiao still spoke in a stiff tone: "The dandelion you planted just died."
Lu Yao nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Lu Mingxiao: "Not sad?"
Lu Yao: "They are dying creatures, so it's a blessing to die naturally."
Lu Mingxiao: "What about those old people? They are also dying people, why do you do that?"
Lu Yao saw the true desire for knowledge in the other's bright red eyes, and couldn't help laughing. He pursed his lips and said: "How old are you this year?"
Lu Mingxiao: "Nineteen."
Lu Yao: "No, I'm asking about your real age."
Lu Mingxiao looked up, the bamboo leaves intertwined to create a cool and quiet atmosphere, which made his heart calm down. He thought seriously for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It's been at least thousands of years, I can't remember clearly."
Lu Yao: "Then when did you Will they age?"
Lu Mingxiao shook his head: "Gods don't age, they only die."
Lu Yao smiled suddenly: "So you are a god."
Lu Mingxiao looked at Lu Yao steadily: "Didn't you know from the beginning? I am a godslayer, and I come here specifically to kill you." Lu
Yao looked away, saw the stretching fields in the distance through the gaps in the woods, and spoke gently: "Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, cabbage butterflies only live for a few weeks, and the crops in the fields need to be harvested in a few months at most. Humans just live a little longer than these lives. All living things will eventually die out, so why do you think we all have to come to this world?"
Lu Mingxiao listened to her voice and was in a trance for a moment.
Lu Yao: "Life is a continuous experience from birth to death, and death is just the last stage. The ending cannot be changed, so what's the harm in making the process better?"
Lu Mingxiao frowned: "What's the benefit to you?" Lu Yao
shook his head: "Maybe it doesn't make any sense, just because I want to do it."
Lu Mingxiao turned and walked towards the main road, waving his hands as he walked: "I will wait a few more days." Lu
Yao also rested enough, helped Hua Bei to get up, turned around and walked back.
Late at night, the door of the rental shop was filled with twisted and painful souls. Lu Yao opened the door and took the initiative to walk towards them.
The old man took the ink-colored square plate and dispersed not long after.
The next morning, some plants quietly appeared in certain corners of Tonghua Town, nearby townships, and county towns.
They grow on the roadside, in the fields, or even in the flower pots on the residents' balconies. There are grasses, trees, flowers, and even vegetable seedlings.
They take root in the places they like inconspicuously, freely.
The next afternoon, Lu Yao came back from a stroll in the fields. As soon as he walked onto the main road, an old lady came towards him.
When the old lady saw Lu Yao, she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and walked forward a few steps: "You are finally back. I want to rent a few robots."
Xingtang was guarding the store, but the elderly people nearby trusted Lu Yao more.
When Lu Yao was not at home, business was a little worse.
The old lady's surname was Zhou. She lived with her husband and had a grandson.
The grandson went to the middle school in the town. Today was Sunday. After lunch, the old lady found a car to take her grandson to school.
Just now, the school teacher called and said that the child did not go to school. This made the old lady very anxious.
Earlier, she called her son and daughter-in-law. When they heard that the child was missing, they scolded the old lady first and then asked her to call the police.
The old lady hurried to the town to call the police. The time was too short to confirm that the child was missing. At present, it was just a case. They still had to rely on themselves to find the child.
Old Mrs. Zhou had never been to the city and did not dare to go alone. After hearing someone mention the rental shop, she came to Lu Yao in a panic.
The robots for rent in Lu Yao's shop are basically household robots, and there are no models that are good at finding people or things.
Old Mrs. Zhou stood in the dam to answer the phone. The voice on the other end of the receiver was very loud, and he complained that the old lady did not take good care of the child at home. Old Mrs. Zhou hung her head and did not dare to say a word.
Lu Yao felt sad. There are many families like this in the countryside. The children work outside and the elderly take care of the children at home.
Most of the children go to boarding schools and come back once a week. Lu Yao
rushed to the market the day before and saw that the old lady bought a lot of things. The big fish and meat were prepared for the students who went home on weekends.
Children aged thirteen or fourteen are the most worried.
The old lady had already called a car to send the child to the school gate. The child did not enter the school gate when he arrived. This matter really cannot be blamed on her.
Old lady Zhou hung up the phone while cursing, turned her head and rubbed her eyes twice, then turned to talk to Lu Yao: "We are old and can't find the way. Any robot in the store, as long as it can be used, please rent me a few."
Lu Yao selected two nursing robots and two companion robots from the standby robots to rent to Old lady Zhou, and was ready to drive them to the county town in person.
Lu Mingxiao heard the news from somewhere and rushed to the store, saying that he could drive them.
The car was a second-hand delivery truck that Lu Yao asked him to help buy last time. It carried the driver and the two old ladies, and the four robots could only stay in the back compartment in standby mode.
It was already past eight in the evening when we arrived at the county town. Fortunately, the Dream Fulfilling System was easier to connect to the Internet in the city, and the robot in the auxiliary store found the grandson of Mrs. Zhou.
The child and several classmates agreed to go to the city, took a bank card that his parents gave him to save his annual savings, bought clothes and a mobile phone in the city, and played in the Internet cafe for a few hours. He was caught when he was looking for food.
The scene was chaotic for a while, and the child who was caught was embarrassed and refused to go home with his grandmother.
Mrs. Zhou went to pull her grandson in a hurry, but she fell down during the shoving and broke her bones.
The child was frightened and actually shook off the old lady and ran away.
Lu Mingxiao was about to chase him, but was stopped by Lu Yao, and the two of them rushed the old lady to the hospital.
In the middle of the night, the child was carried to the hospital by two nursing robots.
Lu Yao asked Lu Mingxiao to go downstairs to buy toiletries, and she stayed alone with the child at the bedside of Mrs. Zhou.
The child saw that Lu Yao's nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and his face was turned to the side, as if everyone owed him 8 million. Lu Yao
was exhausted after a day of running around.
The child didn't like her, so she didn't move forward and stood up and walked out of the ward.
The hospital is close to death, and there are especially many elderly people in this area. Lu Yao
ran out to chat with someone and distributed some small square cards.
When Lu Mingxiao came to find her, he walked along the way and saw that every elderly person had a square card hanging on their wrist.
He forcibly dragged Lu Yao out of a ward and said in a cold voice: "If you are more active, you can be executed tomorrow."
Lu Yao smiled indifferently: "In thousands of years, I will not be the first person to postpone the execution of Lord God Killer, right?"
Lu Mingxiao curled his lips and said nothing.
The next day, Lu Yao left Haiyue to take care of Mrs. Zhou, and hung a small square card on her wrist out of concern, and then led the remaining three robots to prepare to return to Tonghua Town.
Lu Yao certainly couldn't take care of Old Lady Zhou in the hospital all the time, and the old lady's husband was also a sickly person and couldn't go out of town to take care of her.
Lu Yao called Old Lady Zhou's son in the morning.
The man on the other end of the phone was very impatient, and only said that a relative would come to the hospital to take care of the old lady in the afternoon. It was said that it was Old Lady Zhou's sister.
Old Lady Zhou asked Lu Yao to take her ignorant grandson to school on the way. Lu Yao
didn't really want to agree, but looking at the old lady who had become haggard overnight, he couldn't say no.
Fortunately, Lu Mingxiao was there, and he had a good relationship with the child, so there were no conflicts along the way.
Lu Mingxiao took the child to the teacher before leaving.
Three days later, Haiyue took a car back to Tonghua Town alone, holding a pot of swaying yellow roses in her hands.
A two-inch-long bandage was tied around a branch of the rose, and most of the leaves near the roots had withered.
Lu Yao silently took the rose pot from Haiyue's hand.
Mrs. Zhou was already old, and if she lived in the countryside without any illness or disaster, she could live a while longer. What happened a few days ago was not only heartbreaking, but also physically painful for her, so it was not surprising that she was exhausted.
But she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Less than an hour after Haiyue got home, a silver-gray car drove into Tonghua Town.
In the car sat Mrs. Zhou's sister and brother-in-law, and the nephew was driving. Mrs. Zhou, who had a plaster cast on her leg, was also in the car, but she had fallen into a coma.
Lu Yao had already acquired the ability to control the virtual and the real when he opened the bookstore, and his new ability also allows him to not distinguish between the virtual and the real.
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't want her descendants to know that she turned into a yellow rose in the last period of time before her death, so Haiyue only brought back her soul and gave her body to the Zhou family to take back.
Regardless of whether the wish acts on the soul or the body, it will not change their ending.
This is one of the rules that Lu Yao set for the new ability.
Before she died, Old Mrs. Zhou hoped to turn into a yellow rose and bloom near the row of beehives behind her eaves.
In the evening, Lu Yao took Haiyue to the Zhou family and transplanted the yellow rose in the flowerpot to her favorite place.
Two days later, it was another weekend.
The ignorant child of the Zhou family came back from school and learned that his grandmother had been bedridden since she came back from the city last time, and he didn't know what would happen.
He glanced at his grandmother in the room, didn't like the looks of the adults around him, turned around and ran out the door, and saw a rose near the beehives in the backyard.
Unlike the common red roses in the village, this is a yellow rose, with tender petals and bright colors, but the roots and leaves have dried and curled.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the beautiful rose swayed. The tender yellow petals gradually faded from light yellow to withered white, and scattered one by one in the wind, and then the whole rose withered on the ground.
The child squatted down and wanted to pick up the withered petals.
The crying in the room interrupted his movements. The child turned around and ran back. Grandma's bedroom was crowded.
He blinked blankly, not quite understanding what was happening in front of him.
Hearing the familiar sound of cannons, Lu Yao had just returned from the fields.
After learning that Mrs. Zhou had passed away, Lu Yao went home expressionlessly, washed his hands and changed his clothes, and then went out again to Zhou's house.
She thought that Old Lady Zhou would die in the next few days.
The Dream-Fulfilling System just told her that the old lady managed to see her grandson for the last time before she passed away.
But the child probably didn't know that.
The old lady on the bed was already unconscious at that time, and the yellow roses blooming next to the beehive under the eaves tried hard to hold on to the wind and not be blown away, until the child walked over and squatted down to take a look.
