Chapter 110 109. Spider [Two in One]
Huai Yu was squatting in the bamboo forest, looking at the spider in front of him.
Thanks to Kataro, she woke up this morning not only feeling refreshed, but also feeling lighter than ever before. She started cleaning the house, doing housework, washing clothes and changing bedding early in the morning.
I also have to go under the barnyard grass to fetch water and purify the water... I'm busy like a worker bee.
It wasn't until almost noon that I had some free time.
I was just about to make lunch when I heard Kuang Biao shouting, saying that a mutant spider had appeared in the bamboo forest.
To be honest, Huaiyu even had a multi-purpose shovel in his hand, but when he came over to take a look, he found that the spider was only as big as a quail egg.
and……
There is not much variation at all.
…
This is a new big spider. It is weak and harmless, and its color is not bright enough. When you get close, you can only see a layer of hair on its legs and body. Its eight legs are scratching the spider web, which is quite unique.
Kuang Biao was babbling nearby: "That's just me, I'm hospitable and never turn anyone away... Otherwise, look at this spider, it's so small, and its venom is so weak, I wonder where it would have to hide under some grass leaf to survive."
But Huaiyu ignored what he said.
How narcissistic! Can't spiders survive without bamboo forests?
This bamboo forest had just been moved in, and there was not even a bug to be found before. The spiders at least proved that the biological cycle was slowly being established, otherwise why would she squat here to watch in the middle of the day? Not only did she squat here to watch for a while, but she also listened to Kuang Biao's vivid and detailed description of how the spiders floated down from the bamboo leaves while spinning silk, swaying. After several twists and turns, it finally wove its first web.
At first glance, this area is quite shocking. Starting from the dense mesh in the center, the diameter of this spider web is more than one square.
But Kuang Biao said that this was normal. After the catastrophe, the abilities of many creatures were magnified, which was not surprising.
Huaiyu, who had never seen the world, had to swallow his surprise silently.
She looked around. The bamboo forest was cool and moist enough to provide a place for many small creatures to survive and reproduce. Even though it had been pecked out by the older and younger cubs, it did not affect the gradual increase in the number of creatures in the bamboo forest.
For example, at this moment, a moth that flew in at some point crashed head-on into a spider web in front of it with a diameter of about one meter. It was instantly stuck and could only tremble helplessly, unable to struggle.
The small spider with ordinary color and no aesthetic appeal quickly crawled over from one end of the spider web, and under Huai Yu's gaze, it bit the moth's soft abdomen.
A weak venom was injected, and digestive enzymes were also injected. After a short while, the moth became completely motionless, but its body strangely seemed more swollen. It was obvious that its insides had been melted into a ball of juice by the digestive enzymes and neurotoxins.
The little spider waited quietly for a while before taking a bite, sucking the delicious lunch in big mouthfuls.
“How cruel…”
"But this is how we should deal with our enemies, right? Quick and decisive..."
She thought of the serious criminal whose skull was crushed by water pressure in front of her on that rainy night, and now she was actually accustomed to this jungle ecology.
but……
Huaiyu squatted down and touched Kataro's shell: "You are so big, it shouldn't be able to catch you, right? And you, Xiaotian, you don't see the mouse every day. There are many new members in our family, you have to be careful."
Oda squeaked twice and didn't care about the landlord.
However, Kataro flapped its wings, and when Huaiyu was wondering whether the spider would grow very big, it suddenly landed on all six legs and crawled away quickly.
"Kutarou?"
Huaiyu stared at its back curiously: "Are you afraid of this spider?"
She turned her head and looked at the spider again, and asked Kuang Biao again: "If there is a problem with it, you can solve it, right?"
Kuang Biao shook the leaves proudly and said, "You must be joking! The bamboo forest is me! How can I let a spider press down on my head? It's just a bamboo leaf!"
After it finished speaking, the bamboo leaves shook, and immediately a green bamboo leaf like a flying knife nailed to the ground in front of the spider.
However, the pride only lasted three seconds. The eldest and second cubs opened their sea urchin-like wings and cried "Ahhh!", so the whole bamboo shook and it instantly became quiet again.
Huaiyu: ...
Really, if I had raised the first and second cubs two days earlier, why would they be frightened half to death by the leopard in the mountains? Thinking about it now, it's so embarrassing.
Just when I was feeling frustrated, I suddenly saw Kataro standing up and walking towards me, holding a colorful ball in his two front paws.
Is this... a ball made of stone dragon? Huaiyu was just about to ask when he saw Tailang loosen his front paws and the colorful Klang ball fell directly under the spider web.
The next moment, the spider that was eating quietly suddenly stopped, then quickly fled along the farthest spider silk without looking back, and after a while even its shadow could not be seen.
Huaiyu: ...? ? ? She looked at Ketaro, then at the Kelang ball thrown on the bamboo leaves. At this moment, she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
but……
She already understood what Kataro wanted to say, and now she picked up the ball with a distressed look on her face, and then tapped Kataro's tentacles again: "Okay, okay, I know you're good at it. The function of this ball is to repel insects, right?"
Seeing that Kataro didn't say anything, she pondered the medicinal properties of the stone reed again, and then added: "It can detoxify, right? Especially snake venom."
Kataro flapped his wings, then lay on the ground with satisfaction. He searched around, dug out two fresh bamboo leaves and started chewing them.
Huaiyu sighed: "Your teeth and cheeks are really strong!"
She turned back to the house, dragged two more bamboos, and thought about it -
I wonder if Gao Ming knows about Kataro's ability?
But Boss Tang definitely doesn’t know.
She had to go and make this matter clear as there were still two days left before the Labor Day holiday.
Another question is... When will Zhou Qian come back? Should I bring Bao Huaihua to ask him? Huaiyu was confused and went to the field to take a look. The newly grown vegetable seedlings were still not edible, and the sweet potato vines were even more tender and lovely.
All she could eat were lard residue and locust flower cakes.
——After all, there are no eggs now.
It was the first time for the four little chicks to step out into the wild today. Without the help of the eldest and second chicks, they had already started raking the grass in front of the door as if they were familiar with it. They chirped and looked very energetic.
That's also normal.
And the fish in the puddle seemed to have recovered after a night. At this moment, it was slapping the water surface quickly in the shallow puddle, then flying high into the air, and finally falling down again!
But no matter how it is beaten, it looks stubborn and delicious.
If it is to be sold, the price will definitely not be low.
But Huaiyu only hesitated for a while - now that she had accumulated some points, it was a rare opportunity to have fish, so she decided to keep it for herself! Even if she couldn't finish it, she could just fry the fish and dry it. She really wanted to eat something else.
…
I had just poured the locust flower batter into the pot when I suddenly heard a car horn outside.
Zhou Qian is back! Only he would drive here! Huai Yu was delighted, and he grabbed the bag of dried locust flowers beside him and rushed out, not thinking that this was a big bag full of them that he couldn't bear to part with!
The car was quite far away, probably because it was wary of the Rose Corridor, so it parked farther away than usual. Huaiyu ran for a long time before arriving.
She panted heavily, with a genuine smile on her face: "Brother Zhou Qian——"
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she even took a step back silently, looking alert.
Soon, his vigilance was relaxed because the person in front of him was also wearing a defense army uniform.
Huaiyu's heart was beating like a drum.
She wasn't sure if her heartbeat was because she was running too fast or because of the heavy feeling in her heart...
But his face turned pale in an instant.
The two people in the car also looked at her with complicated expressions. After a long while, they asked, "Huai Yu, right?"
Huaiyu pursed her lips, then nodded: "I am."
Someone immediately got out of the car and opened the back door: "Please get in, Zhou Qian is waiting for you."
This is Huaiyu’s first time riding in a car.
She had imagined in countless scenes that owning a car would be so convenient for traveling.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, when she actually sat down, the cold and suffocating atmosphere mixed with her countless horrible fantasies made her want to run away.
Even the bumps in the car and the rapidly passing wasteland scenes outside the window could hardly cause any ripples in her heart.
She just felt stuffy in the car. She held the bag of dried locust flowers and pressed her fingers harder and harder until the bag was flattened. She finally couldn't help but speak, breaking the serious and silent atmosphere in the car: "Where's Zhou Qian?"
The two defenders sitting in the front were silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
"He's waiting for you at Huacheng Hospital."
At this moment, Huaiyu thought of Lin Xuefeng again at an inappropriate time.
He and Zhou Qian have completely different personalities, have spent completely different amounts of time together, and understand themselves differently.
But at this moment, they have one thing in common.
That is - they all have to go a long way.
So far away that her voice trembled when she thought about it.
"If he was fine, or if there was still hope for him to recover from his illness...why would he be waiting for me in the hospital?"
Although she liked Zhou Qian very much and Zhou Qian was also very good to her, their relationship was not very close. If Zhou Qian was really just recovering from his injuries, why would he specially pick her up?
unless……
The driver looked up at her in the rearview mirror, and the passenger in the passenger seat couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
The thin girl had her hair loose and was wearing simple home clothes. She even had a pair of slippers on her feet with a cute pink strawberry embroidered on them.
At this moment, the other person was holding the plastic bag tightly in his arms, his face as pale as snow.
No one spoke in the car.
Huaiyu understood too much in this silence. Her eyes became uncontrollably sore and then tears fell one by one.
She didn't understand anything when Lin Xuefeng left. Although she was a little reluctant, she didn't have any other thoughts.
When it was Zhou Qian's turn, she already understood what death was at that moment.
My heart felt empty, and I felt as if I were reliving the scene of the house being destroyed. It was even a hundred times more painful than that.
After a long while, she panted and trembled and asked: "Is he...going to die?"
The two defenders in front were silent. After a long while, someone spoke: "Yes."
"As the team was heading towards the wasteland, a mutant banyan tree and a mutant spider reached a cooperative relationship. The banyan tree was responsible for strangling the invaders with its aerial roots, while the spider was responsible for weaving webs to hunt..."
The defense soldier's voice was trembling, the veins on his hands holding the steering wheel were exposed, and his whole body was tense.
"Captain Zhou was in charge of the rear guard. He was captured by the banyan tree's aerial roots, and then the tree tried to strangle him but failed. However, the mutant spider bit his arm and injected neurotoxins and digestive enzymes into his body..."
At this moment, Huaiyu felt dizzy. The image of the spider in the bamboo forest hunting and sucking food enlarged in front of her, making her feel dizzy.
Obviously...she and Zhou Qian can't be said to be that close.
Even Zhou Qian didn't know her secret.
But when she woke up from her ignorance, she met only a few people who were kind to her, and Zhou Qian occupied most of her life...
Huai Yu knew that she shouldn't be so sad, but at this moment, she still felt heartbroken.
The car drove slowly into the city on the bumpy road, and Huaiyu gradually stopped crying after a few quick breaths.
Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry anymore. She just asked again:
"Then... why did you take me there? Is he still alive?"
The defense soldier in the co-pilot seat replied, "He is awake and in pain. But he has no other relatives, so I ask that the last points and personal belongings be left to you."
"We thought you might want to see him..."
To be precise, he wanted a relative to be with Zhou Qian at the last moment, even if it was just the little girl from the wilderness whom he had mentioned and who had no blood relationship with him at all.
Huaiyu was stunned.
Zhou Qian...don’t you have any other relatives?
He looked so cheerful and happy, although due to his duties, every time he spoke he gave her heavy instructions, but in essence he was still the Zhou Qian who laughed and rubbed her head, and pretended to be sweet without her asking for anything.
Huaiyu hugged the bag tighter in her arms, and nodded heavily: "I want to see him."
After a moment she asked again, "Where are the spider and the banyan tree?"
"A garrison reserve army turned back after receiving the news. One of the garrison soldiers had a wood-type mutation that caused him to be bewitched..."
"They guided the banyan tree and the spider to kill each other and finally completed the mission."
Huaiyu nodded and said nothing more.
The car stopped at the entrance of a hospital she had never been to before. When Huaiyu got out of the car, she felt her legs go weak. She was still holding the bag of dried locust flowers in her arms, having long forgotten its existence.
When I turned around, I happened to see a young girl in a snow-white uniform passing by.
There was a deep scratch on her face, and her hair was messy, as if a lot of it had been cut off. The scar on her cheek was even darker and redder. One of her arms was still in a splint, and she was tilting her head to hold her phone and making a call: "...Mom...I'm fine...I'm really fine! I'm your daughter! I, Bai Yu! Don't you know what my abilities are..."
Huaiyu turned around, took a deep breath, and followed the defense forces into the hospital.
Here it comes! Two in one!
Wait next door until I finish writing! Good night!
