Chapter 66 Thinking



The evolution of plants is a very mysterious process. Compared with the short history of human beings, which is only a few hundred thousand years, the earliest plants appeared on the earth 3 billion years ago. They were called fungi and algae plants.

From fungi and algae to pteridophytes, to ferns, to gymnosperms, and finally to angiosperms, the development of plants has gone through five major stages. In the long 3 billion years, the entire plant kingdom has been constantly developing and evolving through genetic variation and natural selection. From low to high, from simple to complex, new species are constantly emerging and adapting to changes in the environment, and old species are constantly dying and becoming extinct.

Looking at the evolution of the entire plant kingdom, it is easy to find that the evolution of plants is not single, but mutually influential. This influence is very magical, and this is what Yan Yue needs now.

At around seven in the evening, Yan Yue drove Lu Lingxi around Fengcheng. Because Hongfu Community is in the north of Fengcheng, Yan Yue specially selected a place in the east, south and west districts of Fengcheng for soil purification. All of these places are around the key remediation projects after the new mayor took office. In this way, even if there are any changes in the early stage, they will be regarded by nearby residents as the effect of environmental remediation and will not cause a sensation all at once. At the same time, the common geographical characteristics also hide the particularity of Hongfu Community.

After selecting the general area, Yan Yue deliberately chose the area where willow trees were planted for the specific purification range. What he had to do now was to remove Lu Lingxi from the possible suspicion, and the fastest way was to find another suspected target. As for how people would interpret this target after it was discovered, it was not Yan Yue's concern.

After using up the five points of natural power rewarded by the Willow Tree Evolution System last time, Lu Lingxi was a little depressed. He leaned against the car window and looked outside. Fengcheng was brightly lit at night. The haze of the day was covered by the night, and the car window blocked the dust in the air. At this time, Fengcheng did not look seriously polluted at all. Under the reflection of the neon lights, it looked clean.

"Unhappy?"

Yan Yue has been paying attention to his emotions.

Lu Lingxi originally wanted to shake his head, but after thinking about it, he nodded honestly.

Yan Yue parked the car on the side of the road and ruffled Lu Lingxi's hair with his free hands. "Is it because of what I said this afternoon?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head quickly this time. It had nothing to do with Yan Yue's words. He couldn't explain why he was so depressed. Yan Yue sighed, regretting that he had said something too serious in the afternoon and frightened Lu Lingxi. He gently straightened Lu Lingxi's face and asked seriously, "Do you like plants very much?"

Lu Lingxi nodded.

"Like plant evolution?"

Lu Lingxi nodded hesitantly. Although the direction of plant evolution is varied, most of the evolutions tend to be practical. For example, spider plants absorb formaldehyde +20%, and dianthus absorbs sulfur dioxide +20%. He had thought before that if plants could evolve in this way, the natural environment would be much better in the future. But now, in order to avoid trouble, should he use panels as little as possible, and plants can no longer evolve like before?

Yan Yue saw through his thoughts and said softly, "Xiao Xi, just do what you like. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"But will there be trouble if someone finds out?" Lu Lingxi felt a little uneasy.

Yan Yue chuckled and deliberately joked, "Xiao Xi, you have sold so many pots. Isn't it too late to worry about being discovered now?"

Lu Lingxi: “…”

Yan Yue looked at him and smiled. "The green plants sold by Micro Gardening are all grown in the flower garden. Even if they are found to be abnormal, people will only suspect that it is caused by the surrounding environment. They will not suspect Xiaoxi for no reason."

Lu Lingxi came to his senses and said, "Brother Yan, you are my partner. If you want to doubt someone, then you should doubt us two."

Yan Yue suppressed his laughter and nodded, "Yes, we are accomplices, you see, I am not worried."

Seeing his relaxed expression, Lu Lingxi was completely relieved.

"However." Yan Yue changed the subject, "We should consider cooperating with Xue Yongtong."

"Why?" Lu Lingxi was puzzled.

Yan Yue patiently explained: "I have heard some things about Gao Yongliang before. He is a bit stubborn and I am afraid he will not give up Qiu Haitang easily. I am worried that he will get to the bottom of it, which will be troublesome. It is better for us to take the initiative."

Lu Lingxi trusted Yan Yue very much and nodded obediently, "Then should we go find him?"

"No, let him come to us." Yan Yue said meaningfully.

Yan Yue's decision to consider cooperating with Xue Yongtong was not a sudden impulse, but a result of careful consideration for an entire afternoon. The green plants of Micro Gardening are a bit eye-catching, but it would be much better if they were replaced with Lvxuan Gardening. He planned to selectively reveal some things to Xue Yongtong, some of the "truths" they showed to Xue Yongtong. He believed that the best way to keep a secret was that both parties had common interests, and more importantly, Xue Yongtong's involvement could share most of the pressure for Lu Lingxi. According to his idea, cooperation with Xue Yongtong was only the first step, and he also planned to jointly establish a plant research institute with Xue Yongtong. He remembered that there were many similar institutions abroad that specialized in the cultivation of new plant varieties and converted research results into tangible economic benefits. In the long run, this would be the best cover for Lu Lingxi.

These ideas were Yan Yue's initial plans. Since Lu Lingxi didn't want to give up the panel, he might as well make it bigger. Only if they had the right to speak would they have enough power to protect Lu Lingxi.

The two of them drove around Fengcheng, and Yan Yue drove Lu Lingxi to Xiaohua Family Restaurant. It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and there were still a few customers eating in the restaurant. Usually Lu Lingxi came after six o'clock, but he came late today. Wang Shuxiu grabbed him and asked, "Did you have dinner tonight?"

Lu Lingxi touched his stomach and said honestly: "I have something to do in the store and haven't had time to eat."

"Sit down, I'll make you some noodles."

Wang Shuxiu disappeared like a gust of wind. Lu Lingxi turned around and was about to greet Yan Yue when he accidentally saw Xiao Feng outside. He was stunned for a moment and then looked again. Xiao Feng was gone.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Yue asked as he saw him looking around.

Lu Lingxi was a little uncertain, "I think I saw Brother Feng."

"Really?" Yan Yue glanced outside calmly and said with certainty: "Xiao Xi must have seen it wrong."

"Oh." Lu Lingxi also felt that he had seen it wrong.

Outside the small restaurant, Xiao Feng stood across the street with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at Xiaohua Family Restaurant nonchalantly. Ding Er, who had been following him, guessed his thoughts and suggested, "Brother Feng, it seems that you didn't have enough to eat at night. How about we go out and eat something? Hu Zi and the others are also there."

Xiao Feng glanced at him coldly, "What time is it? If you don't sleep, you won't let others sleep."

Ding Er immediately understood what he meant. It turned out that Brother Feng didn't want to go out for dinner. He was annoyed that Hu Zi and his friends stayed late and disturbed the rest of Xiao Hua's wife. Ding Er felt a little wronged for Hu Zi and his friends. Brother Feng said that they would come to show their support, so Hu Zi and his friends would go around several streets to eat every day. They ate from morning to night, and had to have a midnight snack. According to him, after such a long journey, the meal would be almost digested by the time they walked back after dinner, and it would be the same as not eating at all. In the end, they were still disliked by Brother Feng. It was really unfair.

Xiao Feng looked at them for a while, put out his cigarette, and turned to leave. Ding Er was unsure whether he should call Hu Zi and the others out. But it would be too obvious, and Brother Feng would probably be unhappy. After hesitating for a few seconds, Ding Er followed Xiao Feng decisively, thinking to himself that he should not forget to remind Hu Zi and the others tomorrow. The midnight snack time should be earlier, so as not to disturb the rest of Xiao Hua's boss lady.

Xiao Feng didn't know that Ding Er had so many thoughts. He was thinking about Wang Shuxiu's idea. After being a bachelor for many years, Xiao Feng never had any plans to get married. He felt that being alone was good. Sometimes his brother from his hometown would call and persuade him, wouldn't it be better to find a wife who understands his feelings than to be single? Xiao Feng didn't care about it. He has been doing well in recent years, and there are many young girls around him. His brothers all advised him to find one. Not to mention that he has no patience to coax any young girls, but that these young girls are not good at living a good life. Xiao Feng felt that he should either not find one, or find the kind of down-to-earth and capable of living a good life.

When Xiao Feng first met Wang Shuxiu, he actually didn't have any thoughts. Lu Yishui was an old gambler in his place. He lost more than he won, but he had one advantage: he rarely defaulted on his debts. People who knew him knew that Lu Yishui had a capable wife. With her around, there was no need to worry that Lu Yishui wouldn't be able to pay back the money. Xiao Feng sometimes heard them joking about Lu Yishui being a gigolo, but Lu Yishui never refuted him, with an expression that said, "I have the ability to make money, so you can say whatever you want." At that time, Xiao Feng hadn't met Wang Shuxiu yet, and thought that Wang Shuxiu was the kind of woman who worked hard and was reluctant to divorce after middle age. It wasn't until Wang Shuxiu found the chess and card room and asked Lu Yishui to divorce that Xiao Feng was surprised. Wang Shuxiu was completely different from what he thought.

The two quarreled that time but still couldn't get a divorce. I heard that it was the son who was making a fuss and not letting them get a divorce. Later, Xiao Feng met Wang Shuxiu several times, and gradually he began to admire her. It's not easy for a woman to support a family, and Lu Yishui is still a mess. But that's other people's business, and it has nothing to do with him.

Later, he heard that Lu Yishui's son was in trouble, and Lu Yishui lost a large sum of money. That was the first time he really saw Wang Shuxiu's ruthlessness, and it was also the first time he felt sorry for Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu refused to pay back the money for Lu Yishui, and Xiao Feng was thinking about sending Lu Yishui to dig coal, but a sucker came out to pay back the money for Lu Yishui. Of course, the facts proved that Yan Yue was not a sucker at all, and it was clear that he deliberately dug a pit for Lu Yishui to jump into.

Just like that, Lu Yishui was tricked into getting divorced and went to the northwest to dig coal. Xiao Feng met Wang Shuxiu again in the small market and he didn't know when he started to have feelings for her. Wang Shuxiu looked like a woman who lived a simple life, and he was not a man who played tricks. The two were of the right age and had a ready-made son, so Xiao Feng thought it was a good match. His thoughts were clear when he sent the six flower baskets, but the problem was that Wang Shuxiu didn't seem to be interested in him at all. Could she still be thinking about that coward Lu Yishui?

When Xiao Feng thought of this, his face suddenly darkened.
