Chapter 55 54. Guard Officer Lin Xuefeng Zhou

Qian bent down and carefully picked up the ice sculpture.

In the slightly warm room, this row of ice sculptures not only shows no signs of melting, but the traces of condensed ice and snow on them are still so clear and dreamy.

Except for extremely powerful water-related psychics, it is impossible for others to do this.

The ice sculpture he received was icy cold, which further confirmed his thoughts. Then he stared at the words, his eyes suddenly sharp:

[Thank you for your rose——Lin Xuefeng]

"Lin Xuefeng? Guard Officer Lin?! How do you know him?!"

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, from Huaiyu living alone in the wilderness to her relatives who were rich and possibly powerful...all kinds of doubts were intertwined.

Huaiyu was a little surprised—a garrison officer?

She wanted to ask, but what if Lin Xuefeng was a well-known figure known to everyone? If she asked, she would reveal more and more.

After thinking for a while, he finally whispered, "He passed by here on the night of the rainstorm and bought me a bunch of soybeans for 200 points. He asked me if I could give him the flowers, saying it was very romantic."

“And then this was left.”

Heavy rain, a late night when no one knew what was happening, and the fugitive who inexplicably appeared at the entrance of the camp the next day with his head already shrunken...

Zhou Qian instantly put aside all thoughts, and only this series of clues merged into his mind.

But, even if he didn't understand what was going on at the top, even if Lin Xuefeng retired due to injury, he should be in the imperial capital at this moment.

Six years after the Cataclysm, he was the strongest water-based psychic—no, he was the strongest psychic.

I heard that he also requested to retire.

But why would he come all the way to Flower City without letting anyone know? Zhou Qian suddenly raised his head and looked at the rose corridor outside.

Outside the rose corridor that guards the Flower City like a city wall is a vast wasteland that connects to the surrounding cities of the entire Xia Kingdom.

Retired due to injury... Retired due to injury...

It was just a simple sentence in the news, but it turned out that the hero had already made his choice——

Fallen in a battle unknown to anyone, is this Lin Xuefeng? Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became heavy for a moment.

After a moment, Zhou Qian squatted down carefully and put the small ice sculpture back, placing it at an especially careful angle.

Only Huaiyu hesitated and asked cautiously: "Will he... be in danger?"

Zhou Qian shook his head and tried to pull the corners of his mouth: "No."

Then, without waiting for Huaiyu to ask again, he quickly changed the subject:

"Did the flowers come from the Rose Corridor for you?"

The affinity of the wood element is really high! After all these years, they have never been able to get close to it.

Huaiyu nodded: "She is very beautiful, so I just tried to cut a branch to put in the flower arrangement."

Zhou Qian was speechless.

But at this moment his heart was no longer calm. In the end, he just waved his hand, and everyone walked out the door tacitly.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Where is the ginseng you planted?"

Huai Yu was stunned, then turned sideways and pointed to a grayish-white brick with square holes on the ground.

There was a row of them, with black mud inside the bricks and a thin stem on top with strands of leaves sticking out. It didn't look like ginseng at all.

Everyone looked over with curiosity, which then turned into an even more awkward silence.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but ask: "This mutation value..."

"twenty three."

Huaiyu said cheerfully: "I bought 8 and it only cost 20 cents."

23, this terrible number that even dogs won’t eat. No wonder this ginseng looks like an inconspicuous wormwood or a rotten carrot seedling.

Everyone became even more silent.

Zhou Qian asked curiously: "Where did you dig the soil from?"

Huaiyu pointed outside the door and lowered his voice: "Well... the soil under the Rose Corridor... may be more fertile..."

Everyone:……

Zhou Qian's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He then ordered, "Record the reason."

Then he looked at Huaiyu, half warning and half helpless:

"Plants have unpredictable tempers. Don't rely on your affinity to do such bold things again. If something really happens, you won't even have time to call for help."

Huaiyu nodded obediently, seeming to realize that she was the one who caused the trouble tonight, and responded weakly:

"I'm sorry, brother. I won't dig next time."

Zhou Qian sighed.

After finishing the record, everyone left the room one by one.

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

Huai Yu was following Zhou Qian closely with his head down when suddenly a warm hand pressed his head and rubbed it like a puppy.

“This ginseng is pretty good.”

“But don’t plant it next time.”

Huaiyu thought of the ginseng hidden in a row of square-hole bricks on the ground, and also remembered that when he just started to grow the first ginseng, he was forced to give all his energy to the Rose Corridor due to pressure. At this moment, he sighed deeply.

I'm so tired.

When the purification and induction of the ginseng in her hand was completed, the alarm sounded. In order to calm the Rose Corridor, she used up all her strength.

Although I didn't kowtow, the physical exertion was more tiring than kowtow.

They were afraid that the ginseng would be exposed, so they simply covered it with mud and stuffed it into square bricks before the defense army arrived. Now it's finally over.

Rose Corridor is too greedy, right? Next time, don't do this again.

Seeing everyone getting back into the car, before Zhou Qian opened the door, Huai Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, Lin Xuefeng..."

She hesitated to speak.

But Zhou Qian seemed to understand, and at this moment he comforted her: "It's okay, he came here for personal reasons, it has nothing to do with you."

"You did a good job keeping it a secret. We will also report this matter secretly and will not publicize it to prevent other veterans from following suit..."

"And then..."

"Huai Yu, Lin Xuefeng has been at the forefront for six years during the disaster and has been wounded countless times. Although he... retired due to injury, he will always be the garrison officer in the hearts of all of us."

His expression gradually became gloomy, and he almost murmured: "So he likes flowers... If you are lucky enough to see him again... If we are lucky enough to find him..."

He swallowed the words and just smiled at Huaiyu again: "Children should not worry about adults' affairs. Be careful not to grow taller."

Huaiyu looked at herself doubtfully, and tried to dispel the heavy feeling in her heart: "I should be 1.65 meters tall, right? Can I stop growing?"

Zhou Qian laughed: "You look so skinny, like you are only 16 or 17 years old. How pitiful! Take good care of yourself and eat more good food."

He got in the car and reminded again:

"Don't exercise your abilities, and don't come into contact with any serious pollution sources. All enhancements of superpowers are accompanied by constant pain."

"Huaiyu, a new life has begun. You must live as long as possible."

"Surviving is the most important thing."

Update two.
