Chapter 414 413. Puppy Love [Two in One]
The heavy rain was pouring down, making people feel cold all over and blood was constantly oozing out of their bodies.
But the good thing is that the smell of blood is also blocked by the rain.
Wu Yue lay on the edge of the pond, breathing slowly. His body was covered with countless bruises, and he was also bleeding from the bites of the unknown invisible fish.
No one knew what the other person ate to grow up. Not only did he appear and disappear without a trace in the water, but he also didn't even make any ripples when swimming, as if he had really merged into the water, so much so that even his excellent five senses couldn't detect it.
And when it hit him head-on, at that moment, Wu Yue felt like his waist was about to break.
If I were to be bitten by that serrated mouth again, it would seem as if my skin and bones would scream.
Equally abominable was the mutant lotus. It hadn't budded at all, but the lotus leaves had grown enormously. When they saw the chance they would either wrap around his arms or his head!
The most sudden one almost suffocated him to death. But as a garrison officer, he was not one to give up so easily.
Today, only a few branches are left of the mutant lotus, and although the strange fish is nowhere to be found, it must have been beaten as well.
He struggled to get rid of the shackles and mud, and climbed to the shore in a panic, now exhausted.
The wood-type ability that he once took pride in seemed particularly useless at this moment. He could neither make a big fuss to protect the plants he had bred from wind and rain, nor could he maintain efficient combat effectiveness. At this moment, he could only lie there quietly, resisting the cold brought by the rain, while trying to conserve his strength and make sure to hit the target with one strike.
Wu Yue had a ferocious face in the middle of the night. He had never been so embarrassed and gained nothing in his life.
At this moment, he slowly exhaled, then closed his eyes and calmed his heartbeat.
Huaiyu and Lin Xuefeng didn't notice anything. They just carefully took the cocoon back under the rose and hid it again. The rain was blocked above their heads. Huaiyu looked at the quiet ground again: "I should have let you go to accompany Brother Zhou Qian. What if Wu Yue is a lunatic?"
Lin Xuefeng shook his head: "We are all worried about you being here alone."
But now it was Huaiyu's turn to comfort him: "It's okay, as long as I activate the Rose Corridor, the surrounding defense forces will arrive in less than ten minutes."
But Lin Xuefeng just looked at her and then shook his head: "Xiao Yu, killing someone only takes a moment."
Huaiyu was silent for a moment, thinking of the wound on Chen Xing's shoulder. Huaiyu had seen her ability before, but she had no power to fight back under the sudden attack! It can be seen that the other party really didn't care about her life.
She could only sigh silently again, feeling that it was chilly tonight.
Lin Xuefeng looked at her expression and immediately held her in his arms: "Go back to the house, don't get sick."
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, he saw someone walking towards him from a distance with a lantern and an umbrella.
Huaiyu was stunned: "Great?"
The one who came was Gao Ming, who was unkempt, extremely thin and haggard.
However, when he saw Huaiyu, he acted as if he didn't see her and ran straight to the backyard with the lantern in his hand.
Huaiyu: ...
Sometimes I really don't understand the thoughts of these researchers. Boss Tang clearly said before that Gao Ming used to drink alcohol and tea, and was very carefree, and he had never heard that he had any problems with emotional intelligence.
But looking at his actions and words now, no one would believe that he has high emotional intelligence, right? Even if we take a step back, Gao Ming was in a much better state when he first moved here. Could it be that after they had a conflict, until the six months since he returned from the wilderness, the other party really didn't find anyone to talk to? If this continues, his language logic will degenerate, right? Huaiyu thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Stop."
She stopped him and said, "Gao Ming, this is my territory. Every blade of grass and every tree belongs to me. If you want to come to my house, you need a reason."
Gao Ming paused.
After a while, he nodded seriously and said, "What you said makes sense. I have something to do. Can I go now?"
This time even Lin Xuefeng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Huaiyu sighed helplessly.
Despite all the conflicts and dislikes, after seeing the other party save Chen Xing, all that was left in his heart was gratitude.
She pointed to the house that was still burning and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Gao Ming didn't seem to want to go.
He looked expectantly at the back of the house, but moved his lips and looked at Lin Xuefeng who was still smiling. In the end, he could only go into the house with the lamp in his hand in a depressed mood.
Huaiyu followed behind and nudged Lin Xuefeng with his elbow: "What did you talk about before?"
Lin Xuefeng whispered, "He said he was studying bamboo so hard because he wanted to find a bamboo of the same species. The other party was in Sanqing Mountain."
Huh? Huaiyu turned around in surprise. To be honest, this configuration sounded a bit familiar.
Looking at Lin Xuefeng's smiling eyes again, she understood: "Could it be true?"
“I don’t know.”
Lin Xuefeng shook his head and looked at Gao Ming who was sitting seriously on the bench: "Just ask directly."
Huai Yu entered the house and sat on a stool nearby. He looked at Gao Ming, who looked even more destitute than before, and felt quite complicated at the moment.
She finally asked, "What kind of bamboo are you looking for? Are there specific species? Or are there other variations?"
Gao Ming answered without hesitation: "As smart, rational, calm and talkative as me."
Huaiyu: ...
She never knew how to be euphemistic, so she was straightforward: "You may not be very clear about yourself."
Then he pointed his finger and said, "First, the other party may not be very smart."
"Second, he was very emotional and not calm at all."
"Third, it's possible that they can speak, but they probably can't say anything good."
She accurately summarized these three points and always felt that they were familiar, but after looking through the mutant creatures she encountered in Sanqing Mountain, she found that many mutant creatures possessed the first two characteristics.
But only a few can speak.
Some people don't want to speak, and some people can't speak. After all, learning a language is quite laborious.
Gao Ming stood up suddenly, his originally numb face flushed. "How can you say that? It's not true at all. It's the smartest bamboo in the world, and its words are very, very sweet."
Huaiyu glanced at him and for a moment she didn't know whether what he said was filtered or whether she was really biased.
Lin Xuefeng asked from the side: "What about you? Do you think you have a high emotional intelligence when speaking?"
"Me?"
Gao Ming said without hesitation: "Very good."
Huaiyu was shocked! "How did you come to this conclusion?"
But Gao Ming was also puzzled: "Isn't it obvious enough?"
To be honest, he is really smart. Even though it was a little difficult to communicate with him at the beginning, his thinking became smooth again after I talked a little more tonight.
But smooth thinking does not mean a clear mind. What he said at this moment was not clear at all.
Anyway, the clever Gao Ming got back on track immediately: "You haven't told me yet, have you ever encountered such bamboo in Sanqing Mountain? The species is just ordinary bamboo, I don't know what it looks like after the mutation."
Huaiyu sighed: "I really haven't encountered anything like what you said..."
She hesitated a little when she said this: "It's the bamboo that I summarized... Kuang Biao! Kuang Biao!"
She turned and opened the back window of the living room.
The sound of rain suddenly became louder, and a cool breeze blew through the hall. When Lin Xuefeng closed the door, he saw a bunch of bamboo leaves peeking out from the back window:
"Don't I want some raw bamboo shoots in the middle of the night?"
"It doesn't take much effort for you to grow bamboo, it's just a matter of thinking." Huaiyu knows it too well! Whenever growing bamboo takes a little effort, it will already be full of its own merits and hard work when digging bamboo shoots.
At this moment, Huaiyu asked helpfully: "Are there any other mutant bamboos on Mount Sanqing?"
Kuang Biao thought for a moment and said, "No."
He then snorted disdainfully: "It's hard to find a bamboo as amazing as me in this world. Are you not satisfied with having me? Do you want to find a replacement?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Gao Ming was so anxious that he wanted to speak, but his smooth thinking was stuck at this moment, so he couldn't hold it in until he was sweating profusely.
Huaiyu glanced at him and quickly asked again: "Are you sure you haven't? Or have you never met one?"
"I'm sure not!" Kuang Biao said confidently.
"We bamboos are very exclusive. Look at my bamboo forest. I won't allow other grasses to grow there. If it weren't for this, the mutant trees on the mountain wouldn't have driven me down the mountain."
"If there are other mutated bamboos, no matter how much they mutate, their growth instinct will not change, and they will definitely expand their territory."
At this point, he became indignant again: "Why should I be driven away, while he can stay in the mountains peacefully? Therefore, there must be no such bamboo."
This logic is not unreasonable, but it sounds weird...
But Gao Ming really listened to it.
"Then have you ever seen a clump of cute, smart, and talkative little bamboos? Have you ever seen one that left Mount Sanqing?"
The branches and leaves of the Kuangbiao tree rustled in the rain, and the few water droplets that peeked out from the branches splashed all over Gao Ming's face, making him obviously unhappy.
"No, no, no! Am I not cute or smart enough? How can I tell whether it's him or me when you describe it like that?"
The whole room fell silent.
Huaiyu and Lin Xuefeng looked at each other, and suddenly asked Gao Ming hesitantly: "The little bamboo you mentioned should have been very small six years ago, right? But now so much time has passed, the little bamboo should have grown up, maybe..."
She looked at Gao Ming, and thought about Kuang Biao's past unreliable state and his broken mouth. She really didn't want to say this at the moment -
"Is it possible that the bamboo you are looking for is Kuang Biao?"
"There is absolutely no such possibility." Gao Ming said firmly.
Kuang Biao originally wanted to say that it was definitely not the case. After all, he was so unique, and he didn't want to be a substitute that others had been looking for for a long time.
but!
What's wrong with this sloppy man? I didn't like him before and looked down on him. Now that he came to ask questions, why did he still look down on him?
How outrageous!
Bamboo can be cut, but not insulted! Just as he was about to start cursing, Gao Ming recalled the past: "It was originally a clump of bamboo in my garden. During that time, I was recuperating at home, and gradually I talked to it more. When the disaster occurred, it was only a small area across the country, but my bamboo could already talk and call me dad."
A touch of tenderness appeared on his unshaven face. "It should be a girl. Her voice was crisp and sweet, and she was especially sweet when she called me dad. I always thought that was the daughter I was destined to have. But somehow, on the day when the catastrophe turned the world upside down and the large-scale disaster began, she suddenly pulled herself out of the ground with her roots and ran away directly from my garden."
"Later, I asked many people and searched many places. The few survivors told me that they had indeed seen it, and the direction they gave was Sanqing Mountain."
When he said this, his eyes showed a hint of fanaticism: "That's my daughter, I must find her, she is still so young..."
Ah, this is a girl.
Huaiyu was a little depressed - she had actually guessed whether it was Kuang Biao?
Lin Xuefeng, on the other hand, did not regard plants as humans. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Are you sure it's a girl just by the voice?"
Some children cannot tell the difference at all when they are young.
"Ah?" Gao Ming was stunned.
Then he turned his head and looked at the rear window: "Kuang Biao, do you have male and female bamboos?"
When this question was asked, all the people and plants in the room were stunned.
After a while, Kuang Biao grunted and said reluctantly: "Some are divided, some are not. For example, we bamboos are not divided."
"Good for you!"
Huaiyu was angry: "When you were pursuing Xiaokui, you didn't even say that you might be a girl!"
"If a sunflower doesn't find the right partner, it's very likely that it won't produce any seeds!"
And you're talking about Xiaokui! Xiaokui is gone! Huaiyu has taken all his descendants to the wilderness!
Now that she has finally returned, when she is asked to plant, she insists that the land is not good and refuses to plant, saying that she wants to wait a while...
How long should we wait? Should we wait until Kuang Biao has grown up?
I was born before you, and you were born when I was old... Woohoo, what a tragic love!
Kuang Biao then also shouted loudly! "Xiao Kui can produce melon seeds by herself. It has nothing to do with whether I am a boy or a girl! Is it not okay for me to have two genders?"
"You humans still have a monogamous system. As a rare mutant bamboo, can't I practice monogamy?"
"What's wrong with having a girlfriend and then a boyfriend?"
The two of them started arguing with their hands on their hips, the bamboo leaves were rustling, and Huaiyu's cheeks were flushed.
Lin Xuefeng looked at them, then turned to look at Gao Ming: "Do you... have any way to recognize that this is your daughter?"
"Look at Kuang Biao. Doesn't he perfectly fit the three characteristics that Xiaoyu just sorted out for you?"
However, Gao Ming shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible! My daughter is so good, so obedient, and so caring! She only has me as her father in her heart and eyes. It is impossible for her to fall in love prematurely."
Come on, good night.
Going to BJ training tomorrow.
At the same time, I was emotionally exhausted from continuing to fragment my life.
