Chapter 97 96. Late Night Convoy [Two in One]
The fish fry are small, but who can blame them for the monopoly business? If Huaiyu doesn't buy them, he can go up the mountain every day to set traps in the pond, and he can collect some fish and shrimps over time. But let's not talk about the three or four hours of round trip, just the small pond...
Even if you squeeze the sardines in densely, there won’t be many left!
After much thought, she finally took out 300 points.
Well, there are only 500 left in my family property.
At this moment, she stood there touching her bracelet, wondering why she earned a lot but it was so easy to lose everything...
There was a large bag of water in the backpack, filled with densely packed fish fry, shrimps, loaches, etc. The density was quite amazing. Huaiyu bought what he wanted and went straight to the parking lot.
She took off her bracelet and read the code inside. She watched the old lady swipe the form twice and then let her push the cart.
"Um... don't I have to return the bracelet?" Huai Yu asked curiously.
The aunt is not worried! Her colorful acid hand-washing bracelet is the street stall version. Even if she gives it to a child, she will worry about whether it will affect health. No one will be interested in it.
"We agreed to stop three times for one minute. You can return the bracelet to me after you have stopped three times."
"Otherwise I'll take the bracelet back. Will you remember this parking code next time?"
Huaiyu really couldn't remember, so he pushed the cart away silently.
The heavy backpack was hung on the two handlebars. Huaiyu rode a long way and suddenly turned back.
Jinyuan Community looked much more prosperous than the first time she took the bus to the market. Even the bicycles parked by the auntie now had eleven or twelve of them.
Our lives are indeed getting better and better, so...
What about Zhou Qian? Did they go to the wilderness this time just to maintain their increasingly better lives?
Just like mutants like Lin Xuefeng, even though they know that the mutation value cannot be increased, they still approach the critical point step by step.
All for now, right?
She got on the bike.
The spring breeze of April is blowing, bringing with it the warmth of sunny days, but also the lingering chill.
…
The mutation value of the fry was quite high, but the water in Huaiyu's pond was not very clean, so they were simply given a little force to stimulate growth and then put directly into the pond.
As for the six lotus roots...
Compared to the plump lotus roots she had imagined, these ones were really thin and looked a little pitiful.
Huaiyu sighed, put a little more effort into it, then pulled up his trouser legs and carefully planted them in the mud beside the pond.
Hiss! The water is quite cold.
She picked up a bucket of water and watered the ginseng that was growing vigorously again. Although she didn't know how long it would take for the mutant carrot to grow...
After everything was done, Huaiyu mustered up the courage and reluctantly returned to the bamboo forest behind the house.
"Um... Kuang Biao... are you okay?"
The bamboo leaves didn't move at all, as if they were dead.
But Huaiyu stared at the bamboo shoots that were rapidly breaking through the soil and sprouting upwards. Then he looked at the center of the spacious bamboo forest, where two geese were playing whack-a-mole, poking at the newly grown bamboo shoots frantically...
He pokes whichever one grows the fastest, and keeps making "ahhhh" sounds, obviously having a lot of fun.
Huaiyu: “…”
I see, an invisible confrontation, right? From now on, Qiangwei will be the eldest in the family, and Xiaotian will not count, so these two will fight for second or third place! She turned around silently, thought for a while, and took two steps into the bamboo forest: "Well... goose boy, if you want to go out for a walk, go out for a walk, but remember to go back to the bamboo forest when you poop, and poop bigger."
Otherwise, with Kuang Biao's growth momentum, it cannot be sustained by mutation ability alone, so wouldn't the soil's fertility be drained?
“Ahhh…” The goslings responded loudly, still poking the bamboo shoots with their heads down, enjoying it very much.
Looking at the messy bamboos scattered around, Huai Yu sighed and had to drag them one by one to the open space.
Thin bamboo branches can be used to make brooms, the bamboo core can be taken out to make tea, and the bamboo leaves can be collected and dried and burned as ash for fertilizer or fire...
As for the long bamboo pole——
It can be split and used as firewood, or tied into a fence. Anyway, it has to be split, otherwise it will burst from time to time when burning, who can stand it?
Huaiyu sighed, looked at his newly bought axe, and really felt that he should have a male servant at home.
…
There was neither a servant nor a castle. Huaiyu spent the entire afternoon chopping wood with an axe, and his hands and arms were shaking while he was cooking dinner.
After finally being able to lie down, she hesitated for a moment between the three spiritual books, and felt that she was too tired today, so she decided to read a hypnosis book.
I had just opened the copy of "Growing Towards the Sun" in my hand when the first thing that caught my eye was the short poem on the title page.
[The sun casts its many-light feathered arrows onto its clear and soft corolla...]
She paused, then stood up and walked to the rose corridor with the solar lamp in hand.
Under the bright light, there were faint flying insects passing over the leaves and flowers, and then they fell down silently and became part of the soil.
The pink and white petals swayed, peaceful and beautiful in the night.
Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "If there are cars leaving the camp tonight... if there are a lot of cars, can you find a way to wake me up?"
In fact, Zhou Qian didn't say anything, and the sentry didn't mention a single keyword. Huaiyu didn't even know whether the other party had left during the day.
But, she still wanted to say this at this moment.
The light shone on her profile, and her cheeks no longer had the rosy glow they had during the day, but instead looked pale.
There was also a hint of sadness in his dark eyes.
Late at night, the rose petals in front of her opened and closed, swaying slightly, as if making a promise to her.
Huaiyu smiled, and for some reason felt much more at ease at this moment: "Well... thank you, I'll go to bed first."
She touched the leaves gently again and turned away.
…
This silent night was no different from any other day. The petals and leaves fluttered slightly, and the air was faintly filled with the light yet lingering scent of roses.
In the early hours of the morning, Huaiyu opened his eyes.
The scent of flowers in the room became stronger and stronger, and three vases of different sizes on the long table were blooming with vitality.
She seemed to have realized something, so she put on her shoes, picked up the solar lamp, and ran out in a hurry.
The wilderness of Rose Mansion has never felt so vast and undulating as it does at this moment.
The green grass leaves have grown to knee height, and when you step on them, the green grass juice splashes onto your white shoes.
Huaiyu ran quickly with the lantern in his hand, all the way to the edge of the Rose Mansion, which was close to the road.
She stood there, gasping for breath, and then saw bright car lights shining in the distance.
The trucks were like huge beasts in the middle of the night, driving forward along the road one by one.
The light was so dazzling that even the lamp in her hand looked like a firefly.
At this moment, Zhou Qian was sitting in the car with the team, and suddenly heard someone ask:
"Captain Zhou, that girl... is she the Xiaoyu who sent the bamboo shoots?"
"What? That bamboo shoot is so delicious! Let me see what kind of person is so brave."
"Let me take a look too - it's a little far away... I see it, I see it! Hey, why are you still wearing pajamas? Light blue? Wow, so cute! You look so cute!"
"Her hair is so fluffy, I really want to touch it..."
"No wonder you said she looked like a little sister. She really doesn't look very old... How could her family bear to leave her alone in the Rose Corridor when she was so young?"
"Really? I just said I felt really good..."
Zhou Qian was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard everyone chatting, he stood up without saying a word and fixed his gaze on the other side of the car window.
In order to be more alert to mutant plants on the road, their car is not fully enclosed, but is designed to facilitate observation in all directions.
Now, through the thick car windows, in the distance, with rows of bright car lights flashing by, they could see a thin girl holding a small lamp, wearing pink and blue pajamas, standing on the side of the road watching them.
The cars slowly slowed down and passed by her one by one. Many unfamiliar faces looked at her from the car windows.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But coincidentally, in the blurry car windows in the middle of the night, everyone subconsciously revealed a gentler expression.
She stood there, looking over one by one, like a helpless young swallow waiting for its mother to return to the nest. When another car passed by, her eyes widened, and then she jumped up and waved her hands fiercely: "Brother! Captain brother! Zhou Qian!"
Zhou Qian subconsciously put his hand on the car window, leaned closer to it, and looked over. But for some reason, his eyes turned red.
Huaiyu’s gaze followed him.
In fact, Zhou Qian didn’t know whether Huaiyu could see him clearly in the middle of the night. He only knew that the little girl was standing there with a lamp in her hand. The headlights of the car behind shone on her, as if she was blended into the light.
The facial features and expressions are unclear.
"Brother! Come back alive!" she shouted. However, Zhou Qian could only vaguely guess from the increasingly distant lip movements due to the rumbling of the car.
——Until you can no longer see it.
The carriage gradually became quiet.
After a while, someone murmured, "If only my sister was so well behaved..."
Zhou Qian laughed and murmured in a low voice: "She is good at coaxing people, but she won't be so obedient when she doesn't ask for help..."
The cars gradually drove away until the silent night swallowed up their figures and no trace of them could be found.
Huai Yu knew that they had to take a detour to the other side of Sanqing Mountain, which was out of reach of the Rose Corridor, and then wind their way along the foot of the mountain to the wasteland.
The night wind was cold, she rubbed her arms, and went back again with the lamp in hand.
Behind her, two chubby goslings the size of footballs had caught up with her at some point. Their black eyes looked at her curiously and they let out short cries: "Ah!"
Huaiyu burst out laughing, squatted down and carefully touched their hedgehog-like feathers:
"You followed me here in the middle of the night. Are you worried about me or are you curious?"
She walked slowly towards the house, as if she was talking to Goose Baby, or to herself: "It feels so good to say goodbye in person."
"When I woke up, there was nothing in the room except the ice sculpture—"
"Goose cubs, do you understand? That feeling is exactly like when I woke up on Mount Sanqing. All around me were old buildings and trees I didn't recognize, but there was nothing that belonged to me except my tree cocoon."
"I kept thinking, if I had known that he was going to the wilderness to meet his death, I would not have slept that night - or I would have had to say goodbye."
"Knowing that someone is thinking about them, whether they are facing death or living towards death... they will be more calm than usual."
She let out a long sigh, looked back at the vast night, and murmured again:
"The casualties are over 30% every time... But Zhou Qian will be fine. He's so powerful, right?"
The night wind was blowing gently, and rose petals were floating in the air.
…
It was a week later when I came to Hongsheng Trading Market again.
Huai Yu arrived at [Huaxia Gold] and saw Boss Tang sitting on a chair with a pale face and even his chubby figure seemed to have lost some weight.
What was even more strange was that he was wearing a raincoat over his clothes and rubber gloves on his hands.
Are there any poisonous insects?
Huaiyu was a little curious: "Boss brother, what happened?"
Boss Tang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, listlessly saying, "Nothing..."
"Oh." Huaiyu nodded, looked around the store, and then put the backpack down:
"I brought a lot of bean sprouts today! Mutation value 9!"
“9?!”
Boss Tang finally pulled himself together. He tried to do a somersault but failed, so he held onto the handle of the chair and slowly stood up:
"Okay, okay, I knew your family was capable, Xiaoyu! Although there are things with low mutation values now, many of them were intercepted by others halfway. It's not my turn to be afraid to go out!"
He looked at the basket full of fresh bean sprouts, and now he was familiar with the process of picking up the basket and putting it on the scale. Huaiyu even shouted, "There are towels underneath and on top for moisturizing, and they are all wet..."
"It's okay! Just lose two pounds later." Boss Tang stared at the scale in a good mood. He didn't care about these things at all. Instead, he asked: "By the way, why have you been selling things alone for so long? Don't you have two brothers? Are they so confident? This basket of bean sprouts is worth a lot."
Huaiyu smiled, her eyes gentle: "They all went to the wasteland."
"...Oh." Boss Tang realized something, cleared his throat and didn't ask any more questions.
Then he found a brand new large basin, tore off the plastic film on it, and poured all the bean sprouts into it.
When Huaiyu lowered his head, he found a black round ball as big as a ping-pong ball suddenly rolled out at his feet.
"What's this?"
"Don't touch it, don't touch it!" Boss Tang was as if facing a great enemy, and kept stopping her: "Don't touch it! I'll get the clamp!"
As he turned around and squeezed out from the counter, he shouted in despair: "Kutaro! That's enough!"
What is Taro? Huaiyu was surprised: It sounds like the name of Fusang! But after the disaster, I heard that country has already...
She looked over curiously: "Who is Taro? Is he your relative?"
As he was speaking, Boss Tang had already pushed open the back door in despair.
Huaiyu’s eyes widened instantly!
Standing outside the door was a fly-green creature about 40 to 50 centimeters tall, holding a black ping-pong-sized ball in its two front paws.
"Dung beetle?!"
A little trick to improve average ordering...
[Two in one, but the word count is double! ]
Song Tan next door will be awarded five stars tomorrow! La la la la!
