Chapter 386 385. Ruins Gift [Two in One]

When Zhou Qian woke up, he felt refreshed and relaxed. The carriage was still dark, but a little light leaked through the door, making him realize that it was already daybreak...

etc!

It's dawn!

He sat up instantly, dressed and got out of bed, opened the car door and saw the bright sunshine above his head.

I glanced at my wrist again in a daze and saw that the communicator showed 10:30 am.

For a moment, Zhou Qian's heart was beating wildly, and he even began to wonder if everything that happened before was an illusion...

"Brother Zhou Qian, are you awake?"

Huaiyu poked her head out from the side and looked at him happily at this moment: "Did you sleep well? I saw that you looked very tired too. Lin Xuefeng and I happened to not be sleepy, so we didn't ask you to get up again."

Moreover, after the water curtain rose, the water temperature also gradually increased. When the whole space became warm, it felt no worse than the carriage. Huai Yu was afraid of waking up Zhou Qian, so he simply called Da Zi and Er Zi to the campfire.

The first and second cubs had no feathers, and although they were not afraid of the cold, they also liked to be close to the fire. Kataro saw the light in the middle of the night, so he started to search around the ground again, trying to work.

The chicks huddled together comfortably. They were furry and looked intoxicated as they huddled close to the fire to warm themselves. They were obviously very happy.

Only Dapang stayed far away from the fire and finally chose a piece of soft land to take root.

Huaiyu looked up at the night sky late at night and saw an exceptionally bright starry sky.

Now, she was particularly happy to see Zhou Qian looking much more energetic: "Are you hungry? I made pancakes with pickles this morning. Do you want some?"

Zhou Qian didn't bother to ask any more questions and subconsciously touched his stomach.

Then he reacted: "Where is Lin Xuefeng?"

Huaiyu pointed to the distance and said, "He said there is a small piece of city ruins there that has not been crushed by the roots of plants. Let's go and see if there is anything we can bring back."

City ruins are also a feature of the wasteland.

Before the disaster, the country's population reached one billion, and the major cities were crowded with people, and high-rise buildings were everywhere. Especially in the prosperous cities in the Central Plains, the population was overcrowded and pressure was frequent.

When the disaster strikes, the closer to the center, the more everything will be turned upside down in an instant, leaving no time for people to react.

High-rise buildings collapsed, structures were buried, and the entire earth's crust seemed to have turned over. The crowded crowds and overwhelming steel and concrete were buried directly into the deep core of the earth, and were replaced by overwhelming forests and fields.

Only a small number of people developed superpowers at the first moment. They stumbled along in a daze, protecting the people around them as they escaped from the natural disaster, and then made their way to the surrounding cities that had not yet been completely overturned.

During this catastrophe, plants, with their strong growth ability, quickly occupied this uninhabited land, and eventually formed a new urban state with the wasteland as the center and the surrounding cities wrapped around it.

The wasteland plants expanded rapidly at the beginning, were then firmly blocked by people, and finally successfully maintained their current state.

But Huaiyu doesn't have much memory of these tragic past events, and even with communications destroyed, many people still don't quite understand the truth.

She even thought that the whole country was like Huacheng. Although it was tattered, it could be restored to its original state by mending it up.

At this moment, when talking about the city ruins, his expression was full of anticipation: "I wonder if we will find any treasures! It seems that before the disaster, our lives were particularly comfortable and convenient."

Zhou Qian knew it, but it has been six years. From his initial collapse and inability to accept the social turmoil to his current sigh, time can heal everything.

So he nodded, and then looked at Huaiyu, who was in the same state as before, and asked curiously while following him: "Xiaoyu, you two last night..."

Huaiyu was instantly delighted: "Brother Zhou Qian, Lin Xuefeng said last night that he likes me very much!"

She put the biscuits left over from the morning into the pot to reheat them while preparing pickles. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Isn't it too dry to eat only biscuits? I'll make you some egg tea."

Zhou Qian was wringing a towel and rubbing his face vigorously. He was not uncomfortable with this fast pace. The disaster affected many people, and hesitant and hesitant relationships rarely appeared. After all, no one knew which would come first, happiness or an accident.

This is especially true in the defensive forces.

but!

As Xiaoyu's brother, he had to be more cautious: "He fell in love too quickly! How did he fall in love with her? Did he really fall in love with whoever he saw first hand in the tree cocoon?"

"Also, did you fall in love with him as soon as he woke up because he was good-looking?"

Huaiyu thought about it and suddenly became happy again: "Really? If it has been repaired once in the tree cocoon, you will like it at first sight? Then I will..."

"Not later!"

Zhou Qian said vigilantly: "Just say now."

"Oh." Huai Yu suppressed his desire to experiment, turned the pancake over, and then pulled Zhou Qian to sit down, saying seriously: "Brother Zhou Qian, it's not like we fell in love the first time we met."

"I dragged him along for a long walk in the wilderness. I felt tired, in pain, and extremely lonely. I was so tired that I cried, but I couldn't leave him behind..."

When she said this, Zhou Qian felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He pressed Huaiyu's shoulder: "Xiaoyu..."

Huai Yu held his hand with her backhand: "Brother Zhou Qian, I have told you many times why you are still so upset? I was describing the situation at that time - in short, because it was too hard, I chatted with him."

"I don't know if Lin Xuefeng would hear it, but chatting with him and pretending that someone was there would make me happier. Later on, I began to imagine what he would say and do after he woke up."

She became happy again when she thought of this: "Although there is a little difference, Lin Xuefeng is still very good when he wakes up. So isn't it normal for me to like him?"

After she finished speaking, she sighed deeply and patted the back of Zhou Qian's hand maturely: "Sister Chen Xing once talked to me about love, and Wu Yue also talked to me before... Those are very complicated things, I don't need to understand them."

"I just know that I like being with him, that's all."

Zhou Qian understood.

But there's nothing to be surprised about, as Xiaoyu has been so straightforward and passionate from the very beginning.

He asked again: "What about Lin Xuefeng? He is so old and still coaxing you..."

Everyone originally praised Lin Xuefeng for his youth and potential, and his handsome appearance, but in Zhou Qian's eyes, it was not the case.

"I like being coaxed."

Huaiyu said confidently: "I've also dated people my age - look at that rubbish!"

She cracked the eggs into a bowl and started stirring with her chopsticks, stirring with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to break the bowl.

"Brother Zhou Qian, I know what you're worried about... You think the relationship came too quickly, and you're afraid it will go away too quickly, right?"

"No! I have been chatting with Lin Xuefeng, and he has been listening and answering in his heart. He has been waiting for me for a long time."

"He said that I am the only one who will not give up on him. I will firmly choose him and will never abandon him no matter how hard or tired I am... Wow, I am so perfect and noble! He would be a fool to give up on me!"

"Think about it, if someone did this to you, would you not leave?"

"Oh, except the unlucky one."

Zhou Qian: “…”

That's how he became a farmhand! In short, Huaiyu didn't suffer any loss!

Including Chen Xing and the others, she gave up everything to follow him into the wilderness to find Xiaoyu. Wasn't it because Huaiyu once risked his life to save her? !

Although he knew that Huaiyu was not yet in a state where he could risk everything, in Chen Xing's opinion, that was already the case.

Okay!

In that case...

He stretched out his ruthless iron hand, took out the pancake from the pan, and took a big bite: "As long as you are happy."

Huaiyu poured hot water into the bowl with a smile on her face, and answered firmly: "I am very happy."

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Xuefeng didn't come back until after one o'clock.

From a distance, he could hear Huai Yu and Zhou Qian talking about the future plans for the house. His solemn face suddenly became lively, and he quickened his pace to rush to the height, quickly crossing the obstacle in front of him.

During this time, a few mutant creatures hesitated and poked their heads around, but they were all small creatures, so he pretended not to see them.

When he got closer, he realized that they were not just chatting, but also drawing maps on the ground for detailed planning.

He couldn't help but smile in his eyes. The previous uneasiness and those dark corners that were ready to make trouble had gradually dissipated during last night's peaceful talk. At this moment, he subconsciously walked forward, eager to join in.

Until he saw the picture on the ground.

This is--

Not sure, take another look.

He looked at it for a long time, but Zhou Qian and Huai Yu were still discussing the plan for the utility shed, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where did you see this map...?"

Did he miss the topic at the beginning and therefore couldn't get into this picture? As a former art major, he could only ask questions seriously.

Zhou Qian glanced at him, thinking about how he coaxed Xiao Yu, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But thinking about Xiao Yu's thoughts from beginning to end and her life of never suffering a loss, this dislike was substituted into his current life as a farmhand, and it became subtle.

So he snorted and turned his head away.

Huaiyu was the one who really realized that he was back! At this moment, he waved happily: "Lin Xuefeng! You are back... Come and see here, this is the layout of our house, this is Brother Zhou Qian's big house..."

Lin Xuefeng took another look at the picture on the ground. It was an irregular square with some round and square geometric patterns inside...

Ah, so this is a house.

He looked at Huaiyu, who looked confident, and took the branch from her naturally. He smiled and said, "I didn't hear your idea just now. Can you tell me again now?"

He took two steps back to make room, then picked up his pen and drew a perfect straight line on the ground.

Zhou Qian looked at Huaiyu's crooked and indistinguishable picture, then looked at Lin Xuefeng, and then looked at Huaiyu who didn't notice anything...

Forget it, I won’t watch it anymore.

But Huaiyu had already pulled him back a few steps: "Come on, Brother Zhou Qian, tell Lin Xuefeng about your living habits! He knows how to make furniture, so he can definitely help you make it better - right?"

The last sentence was asked while looking at Lin Xuefeng with full expectation.

Lin Xuefeng nodded decisively: "Yes."

But this description was the most difficult for Zhou Qian. He was used to living in a neat dormitory. For a moment, he didn't have many ideas. After thinking about it, he could only change the subject: "There's no rush for the house. Go back and look at the place and plan it. Winter is not suitable for building a house. By the way, Lin Xuefeng, go check the ruins. Did you find anything useful?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xuefeng stretched out his hand to cover Huai Yu's eyes, and then took something out of his pocket——

When he withdrew his hand, Huai Yu only saw a ray of golden light falling from his palm, then swaying twice, revealing its true appearance.

It was a gold cloisonné enamel hollow incense box, an antique Ruyi style, the golden surface looked like it had just been cleaned, the yellow was not old at all. The rubies and jadeite embellished on it were harmonious and beautiful.

The entire incense box is only five centimeters long and is hung on a golden necklace, shining with exceptionally dazzling beauty in the sun.

"Do you like it?"

Behind the incense box was Lin Xuefeng's smiling face. He looked around, watching Huaiyu happily take the item in his hands, looking at it over and over again, and then reminded: "This box can be opened, and you can put one of your favorite osmanthus, plum, or wild chrysanthemum incense balls in it every day."

Having said that, he looked at Kataro who was working at the edge of the forest in the distance.

Huaiyu had already hung the incense box on his chest, then picked it up and looked at it, then asked happily, "Does it look good?"

"nice."

Looking at Zhou Qian again, he glanced at Lin Xuefeng silently and said in a muffled voice: "It looks good."

After Huaiyu entered the carriage to pick up the incense ball, Zhou Qian asked, "Are the ruins buried shallowly? The gold ornaments are exposed."

“No.” Lin Xuefeng shook his head: “There is a mutant trumpet creeper that coexists with a swallow. In winter, the swallow is gone and the trumpet creeper has withered, revealing this incense box hanging on the branch.”

He took it back and spent some time cleaning it carefully, so it took a while.

"I guess it might have been buried with the ruins, and then the new branches got stuck on the buckle of the incense box and grew out together."

The so-called ruins were actually just a few broken walls and ruins exposed on the ground. If the earth had not overturned and buried them deeply, the first thing the garrison would have done with their special abilities was to dig three feet into the ground.

But in fact, the world turned upside down overnight, and many people were unconsciously destroyed in their dreams... Only the ruins of the high-rise buildings are left. If they insist on turning them over, the entire wasteland will collapse.

Only explorers like this kind of place, because even in the ruins, they can always find something useful. But more often, the ruins have become homes occupied by mutant creatures.

Zhou Qian nodded. This guess was not surprising. It was just...

"Take Xiaoyu over to have a look. She has never seen one and will be very interested. Also, she likes mutant plants. There are many cuttings collected on the upper floor. Ask her if she wants to mutate the trumpet creeper."

Lin Xuefeng nodded: "I understand."

He also pointed to the picture on the ground and asked: "Who drew this? You?"

Zhou Qian felt insulted.

Here I come!! I slept for 9 hours yesterday and it was so nice! This is the update for the 20th! I will be going home this afternoon.
