Chapter 18 Awakening of Shennong's Bloodline
In the countryside, the morning air is fresh and filled with the scent of earth and grass.
Lin Shanshan sat on the back of the bicycle, looking at the flowers and plants by the roadside, which were still covered with dew, making them appear even more lush and beautiful!
A little sparrow was gnawing away at a large worm it had just caught.
The early bird really does catch the worm!
After enjoying the beautiful rural scenery along the way, we arrived at Gu Yiye's new home in less than ten minutes.
Lin Shanshan jumped out of the car, stunned by the scene before her. Her voice trembled slightly: "Brother Gu, did you stay up all night just to turn the soil?"
Gu Yiye parked the car and said, "Well, there's no reason to let your wife do heavy work. I can manage to turn over this bit of soil in the vegetable garden."
Lin Shanshan choked up: "Brother Gu, why are you so good to me?!"
Gu Yiye said, "Of course it's because I like you, why else would it be?"
Besides, you're my woman now, so I have to protect you in everything.
Of course, he didn't say it aloud, afraid that his little wife would be too shy.
Lin Shanshan asked, "But we haven't known each other for very long."
She has only been in Anfeng Brigade for three months.
Gu Yiye said, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I liked you the moment I saw you and wanted to marry you!"
Lin Shanshan asked, "What if there are even better girls in the future?"
Gu Yiye said, "Impossible, you are the most beautiful in my eyes."
Lin Shanshan thought to herself: It's all just sweet talk now. When I get older, my looks fade and my love fades, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with someone younger and prettier.
How long can the favor gained because of one's appearance last?
Seeing Lin Shanshan remain silent, Gu Yiye said urgently, "Perhaps you feel that my love and affection for you is too hasty. Our leader's wife was arranged by his family. Before the marriage, the two had never even met, but the leader and his wife have been very loving and inseparable for half their lives."
"I may not be as romantic as people from big cities, but I will do what I can to protect you. I am also a soldier, and I understand responsibility even more!"
Lin Shanshan wavered a little and asked, "What if I get old?"
Gu Yiye did not answer, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Shanshan's heart instantly turned cold. Although she was from Haishi and her parents had good jobs, Gu Yiye was no less impressive. Just yesterday, a steel factory heiress wanted to marry him.
Moreover, he can earn money himself, he is a good cook, he is strong, and he is hardworking, so many girls will definitely want to marry him.
And what about Lin Shanshan? She's nothing more than a ghost who crawled up from hell, burdened with a blood feud.
Although she was reborn, her past life experiences had left her heart riddled with wounds. She had finally found some warmth from Gu Yiye, but now she was back to square one.
Just as Lin Shanshan was feeling disheartened, Gu Yiye spoke up.
"Don't worry about getting old, you'll still be very cute when you're old."
"Moreover, if you are ten years older, I will also be ten years older, and the world will be ten years older!"
Lin Shanshan chuckled and said, "You just said you weren't romantic, but you're quite adept at using Zhu Shenghao's love letters."
Gu Yiye said, "You didn't see how long I thought about this. My college student deputy platoon leader made me memorize it, saying it would be useful for wooing a wife in the future."
"Look, it's coming in handy today. And if you really want to worry, I should be worried. I'm seven years older than you, so don't look down on me."
Lin Shanshan's cold heart regained its vitality, and she left with the words "I won't" before preparing to plant the seeds.
Gu Yiye hurriedly followed. There were two vegetable gardens in the house, the one behind the house being larger. They unanimously decided that the one in front of the house would be left to Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili, while they would grow their own vegetables in the one behind the house.
Gu Yiye dug a hole with a hoe, Lin Shanshan sowed the seeds, and Gu Yiye then covered the hole with soil using the hoe.
The two were perfectly in sync. During the process, Lin Shanshan felt her palms getting warmer and warmer. When she opened them, she saw that Shennong's blood droplets had appeared, glowing faintly.
At this moment, Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili also arrived, standing outside the vegetable garden: "Big brother Shanshan, where should we plant?"
Lin Shanshan quickly clenched her fist and replied, "The seeds are in the main room. You two can plant them in the small vegetable garden in front of the house."
"Okay!"
The four people had a clear division of labor, and they finished planting everything before noon.
Lin Shanshan planted the last seed, and something miraculous happened.
The entire vegetable garden was bathed in a dark red light, somewhat transparent, yet still clearly visible.
Lin Shanshan was afraid that Gu Yiye would be frightened, and was preparing how to explain when she saw Gu Yiye's normal expression, as if he couldn't see her.
Chen Meili walked over and said, "Big brother, Shanshan, we've finished planting. Zeng Huihuang is covering it with soil. What about you? Are you done? Do you need any help?"
Gu Yiye said, "No need, we've just finished planting."
Chen Meili remained calm, indicating that she hadn't noticed the barrier-like halo.
Lin Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. If she wasn't mistaken, this halo should be related to Shennong's bloodline. Could it be that Shennong's bloodline has awakened?
If she shows up every time she plants something, it will be hard to explain to others.
It's simply too unbelievable.
Especially in this day and age, although some people still believe in ghosts and gods in private, no one dares to mention it openly.
Lin Shanshan felt the temperature of her palm return to normal. Upon closer inspection, she found that her palm was as white as ever, and the blood droplets were gone.
There was only a tiny, thin callus.
Zeng Huihuang also came over, and the four of them washed their hands and went to rest in the main room.
Gu Yiye, knowing that Lin Shanshan loved to eat fish, said, "Let's go catch fish in the river and cook them for lunch. Do you want to come?"
Chen Meili was the first to respond: "Great! Big Brother and Zeng Huihuang can catch fish, and Shanshan and I can pick some wild vegetables by the river."
Zeng Huihuang also said, "Okay, okay, but we have to cover up the fish we catch carefully. If anyone sees them, we'll have to hand over half of them to the brigade."
