Chapter 103 102. Time [Two in One]
Huaiyu rolled his eyes under the umbrella.
She was really confused. Even if Rose Corridor was unwilling to talk, it was better than asking Kuang Biao herself. This guy was really mean and what he said was worthless.
She sighed and said softly to the two goslings, "Big one and little one, mom is going to go back. Are you cold in the rain? Do you want another bunch of hay?"
But when she looked inside the shack, she found a thick layer of dry bamboo leaves and a pile of shredded bamboo shoots...
Well, apparently there is nothing missing.
She also turned and left the bamboo forest, leaving Kuang Biao behind her calling out, "Hey! Don't leave! Give me some more - I support you even if you don't act like a human being! I can lie to you next time you want to be someone else! Give me some more -"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the soil under my feet soon became wet, leaving a circle of mud around my shoes.
Huaiyu looked at the Rose Corridor again and couldn't help but say:
"What is the relationship between you and me?"
The branches of the rose corridor swayed gently in the wind and rain, and raindrops fell to the ground along the wet flowers, as if it was just an ordinary plant that didn't understand what she said at all.
Huaiyu: ...
She said depressedly: "If you don't tell me now, I won't kowtow to you... We must have a relationship, and I will find out sooner or later."
She turned around with her umbrella and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, she felt unwilling to do so, so she turned back:
"No way? No way? You don't tell me because there is some unspeakable story in between, right?"
Oops!
Could it be that she was not only a strong and tough peasant woman, but also had some tragic story with Qiangwei or Wu Yue? Either of them is outrageous!
The Rose Corridor was shaken all over, and the crackling water drops flew over like a dog shaking its fur. Huai Yu stood there stupidly with an umbrella in his hand, and nothing was protected except his head and face.
"ah!!!"
She stomped her foot down angrily: "I only have three sets of clothes in total!"
With a "pop" sound under my feet, the mud in the small puddle splashed out and successfully stuck to my pants and shoes.
Huaiyu: ...
She puffed out her cheeks.
…
Returning to the tree house in a panic, Huaiyu sighed, wondering why he didn't lie in bed and watch toads and swans on a nice rainy day, but instead asked these random questions.
Now, a new job has arrived.
You need to boil water for taking a bath, and also wash clothes and shoes.
Her body, which had just recovered from a serious illness, couldn't bear to be wet and cold like this.
Looking at the only two buckets of water at this moment, Huai Yu paused, and then looked at the barnyard grass beside the pond not far away.
Speaking of that water ball that keeps falling, the frequency of falling is quite high... Can it be used as a shower in summer?
Build a tree house nearby? A brick house is also fine. There are still a lot of floor tiles in the abandoned tree house. I can buy some cement and river sand and slowly build it. It should be possible, right? It is easy to let Kuang Biao grow bamboo shoots directly, but he...
You are really good at pushing your luck.
Huaiyu thought about it and decided to build one himself... Of course, he had to take a shower and change into his last set of clothes! Why didn't the Rose Corridor want to answer? With this question in mind, when the rain stopped the next morning, Huaiyu planned to go to Sanqing Mountain.
In her hazy memories, she saw the tree cocoon where she woke up, and also saw the ancient Taoist temple...
I haven't remembered where Daogong is yet, but I should be able to find it by feeling around in the tree cocoon. I'll drag it back and have a look when the time comes.
Maybe the Rose Corridor would be willing to tell her something? She was ready, and now she didn't even carry the backpack. Her goal was to find the tree cocoon, but at this moment, the daily morning announcement sounded.
[Today is April 24, 2066. It is sunny. The air variation index is 6. There is no abnormality in Sanqing Mountain. The variation index of the wasteland is...]
Huaiyu was stunned.
It wasn't because the mutation index in the wasteland had soared. After all, this surge had continued after the heavy rain. Otherwise, Zhou Qian and his men wouldn't have been sent to the wasteland.
But... the problem is the time! The day she was sick and dragged her sick body to water the plants was clearly April 20th.
I slept from the 20th to the afternoon of the 21st, and was splashed with water by the Rose Corridor again. Today should be a sunny day on the 22nd!
How come it’s the 24th already?
She just had a cold...ok maybe a slight fever, but she slept for three days?!
No wonder her chicken was so hungry!
She stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally could only attribute it to the fact that her evolution was delayed due to illness. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why she slept for so long.
She thought she was too weak, so her hands and feet felt weak after waking up from a sleep... She was afraid she would starve to death if she slept for another day.
Huaiyu stood at the door, looking at this deserted area with few people, and felt a little melancholy at this moment.
There are three plots of land in the Rose Mansion. I took over the first plot, so why didn't anyone come to the second and third plots? With such a large area, the Rose Corridor was not always used for beatings...
She sighed silently, checked the things she had brought with her again, and then got on her bike.
The wind at the end of April was already very warm. After the rain, the temperature rose significantly. Huaiyu felt slightly sweaty while riding his bike.
This time when she asked Rose Corridor to open the door, she was not so polite - only a little bit polite.
"Open the door." The voice was soft and gentle, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly.
The rose branches trembled, and soon they made room for one person to pass through. Huai Yu pushed the car aside with familiarity, used the branches and grass to cover himself slightly, and then stepped out of the safe zone guarded by the rose corridor again.
Looking up, the entire mountain range of Sanqing Mountain is crisscrossed with trees and extremely steep. The dense trees cover the rugged rocks and the plank roads that were once open to people for sightseeing.
She thought about it carefully, then groped her way up the mountain along the path.
Was there any characteristic of the place where she... woke up?
A huge tree cocoon, crisscrossed with trees and shrubs. When she walked out ignorantly, the branches would rustle and retreat to the side...
Is it in a cave? Or is it hidden by the plants all over the mountain?
But it shouldn't be too far, right? Although she felt a little tired when she walked out of the Rose Corridor, it didn't seem like she had walked for too long.
Huaiyu regretted it - if she had known this would happen, she would have made a mark when she woke up, otherwise there would be so much confusion now. She was really afraid that she would have anything to do with Wu Yue!
Or what if the Rose Corridor was really born by me, but no one knows about it, and I look like I almost died...
Just thinking about it makes her cry out of grievance, okay? Just for this, she must figure it out.
but……
Huaiyu supported his knees, panting, and looked down the mountain.
I could still vaguely see one or two of the knots I had tied on the tree as a mark, but I still had no idea where the cocoon was as I remembered.
Looking at the vast mountains and dense trees, Huai Yu thought for a while, selected a direction, and started looking to one side.
…
…
…
It's almost a new month again. Boss Tang sits in front of the counter with a worried look on his face, sighing deeply. He feels that it's only been less than a month and he's already looking so haggard.
I was looking at my thinning cheeks in the mirror when I saw a familiar person walk in through the door.
"Little Yu sister!"
He jumped off the stool in surprise, his chubby body quickly jumped over like a ball, and then looked at her expectantly: "You're here?! Why did it take you so long this time?"
Without waiting for her to reply, he took the heavy basket, which was indeed full of bean sprouts.
Huaiyu smiled and said nothing——
She searched in the mountains for a whole day and finally returned home when night fell, but she found nothing.
I clearly came out of the tree cocoon and it felt like it didn't take me long to walk to the rose corridor, but I just couldn't find it.
After all this trouble, she took a day off the next day before she felt recovered.
Then I had to keep an eye on the vegetable seedlings, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, yams and the like that were growing vigorously after the heavy rain, and finally sprinkle all of Kataro's balls into the ground.
Because of this delay, another day passed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Huaiyu thought about his plan to build a bathroom, and then thought about the price of cement he saw when he first came to the trading market, and decided to save more points.
However, we cannot dig up many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest for the time being, because the eldest and second cubs really love to poke the bamboo shoots, and they have caused Kuang Biao to stop giving birth recently.
After much thought, bean sprouts are the cheapest and have no cost, and even require little labor.
Look, Boss Tang has already weighed the bean sprouts in a familiar way. The purified soybeans are mixed with ordinary water filtered through barnyard grass, and the variation value of 9 is exceptionally stable.
When the transaction was completed, Huaiyu was just about to have a chat when he saw Boss Tang smiling particularly amiably:
"Sister Xiaoyu, your house is very big, right?"
Huaiyu nodded silently: "It is quite big."
More than 600 acres of barren mountains and wilderness.
Then, Boss Tang smiled happily and quickly pulled out a large plastic bag from under the counter: "Look! These are the balls that Kataro has collected recently. I'm saving them all for you!"
Huaiyu looked at him in some confusion.
You can stay, but why is Boss Tang so eager and excited?
Huaiyu couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Uncle Zaozi's tea really has some effect? Or... has something happened?!"
"Oh, no."
Boss Tang's voice sounded a little disappointed:
"I observed carefully for several days and asked him about it. He said the tea tasted good, it stopped constipation and it was fragrant. He drank one capsule every day..."
Well, well, Boss Tang’s expression was very complicated, and even Huai Yu’s expression was hard to describe.
"Anyway, I haven't seen any other effects from Kataro's ball... Your uncle Zaozi still wants it, but he said the price is too high... I really can't make that much money, so I just held on and didn't give it to him."
"Oh! If Gao Ming hadn't been still inside, I would have taken the ball to check it out."
so……
Huaiyu looked at him in confusion: "If Uncle Zaozi is fine, why do you look so excited for me to come?"
The moment I saw her coming, I felt ecstatic - but it had only been a few days since Huai Yu last came.
"Well, well..." Boss Tang rubbed his hands in confusion: "Well...Xiao Yu, you know, our Labor Day is coming."
Huaiyu: …She doesn’t know!
But it doesn’t matter. If you are undecided, just nod your head.
Boss Tang sighed again when he saw her expression: "Labor Day stipulates that everyone must go to cultivate land and plant for a week, and the entire trading market will be closed during the day..."
Huaiyu was beginning to get a little impatient. Everyone had to cultivate the land? Did this "everyone" include her? Fortunately, Boss Tang continued, "This rule applies to people in the urban area. Your family is so big, it should be in the suburbs, right? If your family has land, and the land is big enough, you don't have to participate in compulsory labor..."
"Um...are you on the list of voluntary labor?"
Huaiyu instantly breathed a sigh of relief! She thought that not only was she not in the city, she was almost out of the city! And she had more than 600 acres of land to herself.
There is no such list.
So he shook his head decisively.
Boss Tang was relieved at first, but then he became embarrassed: "You know, I can leave, but what about Kataro? He has to save a few balls every day, otherwise he won't be able to eat."
"So..." Boss Tang looked at Huaiyu expectantly.
"So..." Huaiyu also looked at him, his expression slowly becoming surprised: "You wouldn't be..."
"That's right!" Boss Tang said in surprise, "You understand, right? I just thought that your place is big, can I take Kataro there and hide for a while?"
"Don't worry, I've observed carefully during this period. Taro doesn't like to go to the toilet. He even avoids poop if he sees it on the road!"
"It's a good taro!"
Boss Tang's eyes were full of expectation, as if he really couldn't bear it the next second if Huaiyu refused.
What can Huaiyu say?
Apart from anything else, Boss Tang is really good to me.
She thought for a long time, and then she had to say:
"But how can I take it back?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Boss Tang had probably been thinking about it for a long time, and now he quickly brought a bag over -
"Taro! Kataro!"
He called out twice, and the small door at the edge of the warehouse opened gently, and a giant fly-green dung beetle about 40 cm tall walked out.
After not seeing you for a while, Kataro is still the same!
It held a black ball in its two front paws. When it saw Huai Yu, it stretched out its yellow wings on its back and flapped them.
Huaiyu nodded and smiled subconsciously, but when he reacted, he felt numb again.
Boss Tang had already opened the bag: "Taro, come on in - Xiaoyu, don't worry, I'll put a lid on the backpack for you later, so no one will find out when you carry it back."
At this moment, Boss Tang's voice was earnest, and his round face showed the worry and reluctance of an old father. He even slowed down his tone: "Don't worry, Tailang is very well behaved. He basically doesn't make a sound except for Tuanqiu..."
"That's right... your place is big, so let it out for a walk when the time comes. It will feel really uncomfortable if it doesn't walk around or play with a few balls... Taro... Taro..."
As soon as the lid of the backpack was closed, Boss Tang's voice began to tear up.
Huaiyu: “…”
She paused for a moment before asking curiously, "If that expert comes out, will Kataro be taken back by him?"
Boss Tang was speechless, and his expression became even more bleak.
Two-in-one is here!
Good night.
