Yan Yue was rushed by Lu Lingxi to take a shower, and Dahei also went into the bathroom with him.
As a stray dog, Dahei had never had the concept of taking a bath before. At most, when it was very hot, he would find a pond or puddle to paddle. But since he was no longer a stray dog, Dahei was forced to develop the habit of taking a bath. Fortunately, Lu Lingxi learned from Brother Dong that dogs cannot take a bath every day, which is bad for the skin and easy to get sick, so Dahei didn't have to take a bath every day. But today Dahei was caught in the rain, and there was no way he could escape.
In the bathroom, Yan Yue and Dahei looked at each other for a long while. Yan Yue did not say anything. A trace of struggle flashed in Dahei's eyes. He walked over hesitantly and squatted under the shower consciously.
Outside the bathroom, without Yan Yue by his side, Lu Lingxi summoned the white panel again and his eyes fell on the unfamiliar prompt below.
The cultivated land has been polluted. Should we use some natural power to purify it?
This sentence is not difficult to understand. The cultivated land should refer to the small courtyard behind. But what he doesn't understand is how the small courtyard could be polluted? And how was it polluted? This question made him a little confused. Lu Lingxi did not choose to purify it immediately, but first used his mobile phone to search the Internet to find out what land pollution is.
He was just giving it a try, but he didn't expect that when he typed in the words "land pollution", countless reports popped up, as well as a large number of shocking pictures. In layman's terms, land pollution is the accumulation of toxic and harmful substances produced by human activities into the soil. When they accumulate to a certain level, they exceed the soil's instinctive purification capacity, leading to changes in soil properties and quality. Similar sources of pollution include industrial pollution, transportation pollution, and domestic pollution. The consequences of this type of pollution are very serious. Not only will it lead to the deterioration of soil properties, but more importantly, the organisms in the soil will directly absorb toxic substances from the soil. These toxic substances will eventually enter the human body through the food chain, thus endangering human health.
As one of the important heavy industrial cities in China, Fengcheng produces a lot of waste residue, wastewater and waste gas every day. These pollutants are either deposited underground, seeped into water sources or floated in the air, eroding Fengcheng's natural environment and polluting the underground soil. Now, with a heavy rain, all the toxic gases in the air are brought underground and precipitated into the soil, which finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, exceeding the soil's instinctive self-purification ability.
Lu Lingxi put down his phone and looked at the white panel again, and chose purification without hesitation.
The rain was still falling outside, and the sky was getting darker. Lu Lingxi couldn't see any changes in the purified soil. But he couldn't help but think that the soil in the courtyard could be purified by natural forces, but what about other places? Could it be like what was shown in the picture, that the soil's self-purification capacity would be exceeded over time and eventually become shocking?
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that "Woof" Dahei barked out in grievance as he came out of the bath.
When Lu Lingxi came back to his senses, he saw Dahei squatting at the door of the bathroom, Yan Yue was naked from the waist up, wearing the floral shorts he found on the lower body, and walked out while wiping his hair. Yan Yue's image was too subversive, and Lu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh.
Yan Yue raised an eyebrow: "Very funny?"
He found himself funny when he looked at himself in the mirror, but his clothes were too wet to wear, so there was nothing he could do.
Lu Lingxi held back his laughter and didn't dare to admit it. In fact, it wasn't funny, but it didn't match the feeling Yan Yue gave people. However, Lu Lingxi felt that Yan Yue looked more down-to-earth this way. Yan Yue came to dinner yesterday in a suit and tie. Although Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything, Lu Lingxi vaguely sensed some kind of incongruity. In the past, he was used to being surrounded by elites like Yan Yue in the Lu family, and he didn't feel anything when he was alone with Yan Yue. But once Yan Yue entered his current living environment, he immediately stood out in a way that was out of tune. But now, Lu Lingxi's eyes moved around Yan Yue's flowered shorts and felt that it was much more harmonious.
His eyes were innocent, and they simply fell on the flowered shorts, but Yan Yue felt a heat in his stomach, and turned his body to the side without making a sound.
After taking a shower, the two began to face the problem of cooking. Lu Lingxi didn't know how to cook at all, and Yan Yue was also careless. Fortunately, there was tomato sauce that Wang Shuxiu had prepared in the refrigerator. Yan Yue also found a bag of noodles and asked Lu Lingxi: "Want some noodles?"
Lu Lingxi rubbed his belly and nodded.
Yan Yue felt sorry for him because he was hungry. He filled some water and turned up the heat to the highest setting. "It will be ready soon."
He kept staring at the pot in front of him while he was talking. From where Lu Lingxi was, he could only see Yan Yue's profile. Lu Lingxi nodded obediently and leaned against the kitchen door to watch Yan Yue cook noodles. It was raining hard and windy outside, and the kitchen windows were banging. Raindrops hit the glass, blurring it white. The light hanging from the ceiling was on quietly, and a dim halo hit Yue's profile, making him look gentler.
The water in the pot boiled very quickly, and white mist spread out after the noodles went in. Yan Yue's expression was a little blurry in the mist. As if he sensed Lu Lingxi's gaze, he turned his head and slightly curled his lips at Lu Lingxi. This smile was clearly reflected in Lu Lingxi's eyes. He just felt that his heart inexplicably stopped for a beat. This feeling was a bit strange. Lu Lingxi awkwardly turned his eyes away and waved to Dahei, who immediately ran over.
Yan Yue: “…”
The dinner for the two people and the dog was noodles with tomato meat sauce. I have to say that Wang Shuxiu's tomato sauce was really delicious. Simply mixed with noodles, the taste was enough to match the so-called soup noodles that Yan Yue had eaten at Yin's house.
After dinner, Lu Lingxi gave his bedroom to Yan Yue, and he slept in the master bedroom with Dahei. His bed was a little small, so it was barely enough for him and Dahei to sleep on it, but it would be a bit crowded if Dahei was replaced by Yan Yue. After all, Yan Yue was a guest, so Lu Lingxi was embarrassed to squeeze in with Yan Yue, and felt very considerate and hospitable to give up his bed.
"Brother Yan, you should go to bed early." Lu Lingxi found a book and took it out of the room, and said to Yan Yue before leaving.
Yan Yue looked at him with deep eyes, and reluctantly accepted Lu Lingxi's kindness. Although he didn't have the chance to sleep with the boy, the room was full of the boy's scent. Yan Yue convinced himself that Dahei's depression about sleeping in the same bed with the boy was finally reduced.
Lu Lingxi returned to the next room, found a mat and spread it on the ground, and said to Dahei seriously: "You have to sleep on the mat tonight, understand?"
It didn't matter to Dahei when he was with him, but if Wang Shuxiu knew that Dahei had slept with him, she would probably be scolded. Dahei whimpered a little aggrievedly and lay down on the mat obediently.
Lu Lingxi opened the book and started reading, and unconsciously thought of the situation in the backyard again. As soon as his thought flashed through his mind, a white panel emerged, and the situation in the backyard appeared on it.
Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. He did not send out a mental scan, and the current range of the mental scan was only three meters, which should not be able to reach here. He thought about it and took a few steps back to the back of the house, making sure that the distance from the backyard was three meters. The white rice was still floating, and the situation in the entire backyard was clearly visible.
Lu Lingxi was really surprised this time. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He carefully reached out his hand and touched the surface of the soil displayed. A very special connection rose from the bottom of his heart. This feeling was indescribable. It seemed that because of the power of nature, he had established a certain connection with the land in the backyard. This connection exceeded the three-meter range of the mental scan. As long as he wanted, the backyard would appear on the white panel.
The first thing Lu Lingxi thought of was that he could know the growth of tomatoes in the backyard at any time in micro-gardening. But then he laughed. This connection seemed mysterious, but it was actually not very useful. It was just a convenience. However, every time the panel developed a new function, it was enough to make him happy. Lu Lingxi simply put down the book and started to study the panel.
It rained all night long and stopped only at dawn. Lu Lingxi slept uneasily at night, always worried about the tomatoes and the sapling in the backyard.
Lu Lingxi woke up at around five o'clock. As soon as he stood up, Dahei immediately opened his eyes and got up. Lu Lingxi made a "hush" gesture to Dahei. Yan Yue was still sleeping next door. The old house was not soundproof, so they had to speak softly so as not to wake Yan Yue up. Dahei squatted quietly in front of Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi put on his clothes and touched Dahei's head in appreciation.
The man and the dog tiptoed out of the door. Lu Lingxi was anxious to see what was happening in the backyard, so he pushed open the balcony door and walked out. Everything he saw made him stunned.
After a night, the tomato seedlings that were beaten to pieces by the heavy rain last night actually bloomed again. Countless yellow flowers swayed in the wind against the backdrop of green leaves. A group of bees flew from nowhere and hovered among them, looking very busy. Even the willow seedling that the gardener determined to be dead yesterday has sprouted new buds. Although small, the tender green leaves are all over the branches. A few chirping sparrows are perched on them. They are not afraid of Lu Lingxi at all.
The air in the yard was fresher than ever before, the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the smell of soil, making people feel at ease for no reason. Lu Lingxi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt relaxed and happy for a moment.
Is this the result of soil purification? Or is this the natural appearance?
Yan Yue was awakened by the sound of birds outside in the morning. After a good night's sleep, the aura of youth surrounded him. It was the first time he overslept. After getting dressed, Yan Yue followed the sound to the balcony. Just like Lu Lingxi's initial reaction, he was completely stunned.
Everything in front of me is like a colorful painting. The pale golden morning light fills the entire courtyard. There are yellow flowers, emerald green plants, thin willow branches swaying in the wind, and two piles of bright red tomatoes piled under the balcony. It is impossible to tell that there was a heavy rain last night. The only thing that has some trace of the heavy rain last night is the wet black soil on the ground.
Yan Yue found Lu Lingxi's figure. The boy was squatting on the ground and weeding seriously. Behind him, Dahei was lying on the wall and jumping around trying to climb up. A few sparrows on the wall were chirping, as if they were laughing at Dahei.
The air in the courtyard was fresher than ever before. Yan Yue took a deep breath intoxicatedly and walked towards Lu Lingxi.
