Chapter 98 Tornado. Purple Willow
Chu An returned home and made the bed for Gu Ye first. After he laid him down, he went to cook. He was tired after two days of hard work, so he secretly took out two servings of noodles with soybean paste from the space and heated two cups of milk.
She moved the bedside table from upstairs down, placed it on Gu Ye's bed, and gave him noodles with soybean paste and milk.
"Thanks."
"Don't say these two words anymore. Just get better soon."
Gu Ye nodded and continued eating.
At night, she heard some noise downstairs and hurried downstairs. She saw Gu Ye squatting on the ground, holding his ribs with one hand and breathing heavily.
Chu An turned on the flashlight, and Gu Ye looked at her intently. Tears instantly filled her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
"Having a nightmare?"
"Yeah." Gu Ye lowered his head and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve, his expression as stubborn as a calf.
Chu An sighed, went over and stroked his hair, "It's okay, it's safe here."
Gu Ye's body slowly relaxed. Chu An helped him to bed and gave him one-third dose of sleeping pills. Poor sleep was not conducive to recovery.
This time she didn't rush up, but continued to look at first aid tips on the bed next to her.
At the beginning, Gu Ye turned his head to look at her frequently, but she glared at him back and he finally fell asleep.
Chu An didn't feel sleepy yet, so he boiled some hot water, poured it into the foldable bathtub, and took a comfortable bath.
After taking a bath, I tidied up the bed opposite Gu Ye and went downstairs to rest.
Soon after I lay down, I entered the space. This time, my mental strength increased and I felt a closer connection with the space.
Suddenly, an inspiration came to her mind. She raised her index finger and a column of water rose in the direction of her finger.
She drew a circle in the air with her index finger, and the water column turned into a water ring. She had been able to control the stream water before, but not as flexibly as she did so. A new way of killing people involuntarily came to her mind - suffocation.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Xun's voice came from behind.
Chu An quickly collected his thoughts, and the water ring turned into a water curtain, instantly falling into the stream, "I was thinking about how to help you irrigate the fields."
The two looked around and saw that the corn was more than one meter tall and had begun to ear, and the rice had reached Chu An's waist.
Shen Xun can't stay on the black soil for too long, so the planting area is still around five acres.
The food she stored was enough for at least ten people to eat for a lifetime. This was also the reason why she didn't work hard, and it was definitely not because she was lazy.
"Can you see outside at any time now?" Chu An asked.
"No, if I take the initiative to look outside, it will consume a lot of mental energy. You take the initiative to connect the space, so I don't consume it."
Chu An felt warm in her heart, this time when she was saving Gu Ye, she forgot to stay connected to the space twice, and it was Chen Xun who took the initiative to help her.
“How far can you see?”
"Your vision is my vision, but it is 360 degrees without blind spots." Shen Xun answered truthfully, "But I can't see what you are doing, unless your emotions fluctuate greatly, then I can feel it."
After saying that, he added, "That's why I advised you so much. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, but my previous experience has forced me to be vigilant. It's okay now. You will understand my actions in the future."
"Cut the grass at its roots and leave no future troubles." Shen Xun shook his head helplessly, "Then what I did is called a white lotus, a green tea bitch, or a saint among you young people?"
"Hahaha..." Chu An was amused, "It doesn't count if you did it, because you have the right to say that. If it were someone else, I wouldn't indulge them. There is no such thing as empathy in this world. It's all sympathy, and sympathy is worthless."
"It's an honor to have your recognition." Shen Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he blew a whistle, and a strong wind came quickly from the black land.
Chen Xun went over and started petting the dog beside the stream. "You are welcome. Ji Feng and I will go to the mountain in a while. We found some special vines a few days ago. They are tough and soft, and the longest can reach a hundred meters. If we can transplant them back, they can replace the straw ropes."
Chu An tried to find the mountain in the distance with his mind, but still couldn't find it, so he said, "I'll go with you."
Chen Xun drove the jeep out. Usually, Ji Feng would jump to the co-pilot seat, but this time it took the initiative to jump to the back seat. It was simply inhumane.
Chu An sat in the passenger seat and stroked the dog's head. Suddenly he thought of Gu Ye. That head was also very nice to stroke.
The car crossed the stream and sped along the stream on the black soil side. This would not harm the dog and the damage to Shen Xun could be minimized.
In less than ten minutes, the car stopped steadily on the road up the mountain.
The grass and trees here seemed to be nourished by the rain and were more lush than before. However, it had never rained here. Could it be because her mental power had increased?
She could only guess about the things that Space didn't want to explain. Never mind, she had already taken advantage of it, so who would care about one or two mysteries?
A dirt path was cleared on the mountain by Chen Xun, and the herbs she had found earlier were circled and marked with branches.
"You did all this?"
"Yeah, just killing time."
Chu An felt that he still yearned for the outside world more. Humans are social animals and it is impossible for them to live alone forever, even if there is everything here.
The two found the vines that Shen Xun mentioned halfway up the mountain. From a distance, it looked like a bush, but from a close distance, it looked like a spring. Countless vines sprouted from the ground, some as thick as a baby's arm.
The vines are dark purple and the leaves are a gradient from green to purple.
It does not cling to any big tree, but extends for dozens of meters on the ground, crisscrossing each other, and some of them are huddled together, like a natural cage.
Chu An likes it very much, but is a little troubled. The diameter of the entire root is two meters. How to dig it?
"The excavator I bought seems to be too small," Chu An said awkwardly, "Can this... be cultivated by cutting branches?"
"I tried it, but it doesn't work. It can only absorb nutrients from the main stem underground."
"Is there any other way?"
Shen Xun took two steps forward and found another small cluster here.
"....." Chu An was so angry that he almost laughed, but who could he blame?
The small plant is not small, with a diameter of about 20 centimeters, and the longest vines are three meters long.
Shen Xun took out a shovel and a spade from the car, and the two of them dug the soil together. After a night of struggle, they finally fixed "Purple Willow" on the roof of the car.
Yes, “Purple Willow” is the name given by Chu An.
Shen Xun opened up a separate piece of land for Zi Liu, walking east along the stream, about five kilometers away from the living area.
After transplanting the purple willow, Chu An felt that he was about to wake up, and hurriedly asked Shen Xun how to treat post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Shen Xun said that everyone’s situation is different. He was taught by Wang Ce, a method called mental detachment, which involves participating in social activities as a bystander or a third person and looking at everything around you.
Chu An felt that from a certain perspective, Chen Xun was also a lucky person, with faith, a future, and an old friend who would never leave him.
This old friend firmly believed that he was not dead. For an unlucky photo, he made a scene at the police station regardless of his future. Even if everyone in the world thinks you are dead, I will find you. I want to see you alive or dead.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu An woke up slowly, looking radiant. It was not known whether it was because of the bath in the stream or the nourishment of his soul and body in the space, but in any case, all his tiredness was swept away.
She stretched lazily and felt a gaze from the corner of her eye. She knew who it was without even thinking.
