"Now, everything we have here is complete." Yuan Zhicheng took out the black box he had found and breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, I'll show you what we two old guys have."
"No way, you two elders are the treasures of our mountain." Zhao Hanyun didn't think he was flattering at all, and spoke so smoothly that Hongzhi, who was listening beside him, became a little curious.
Hongzhi was a little confused. Were the people before her good or bad? If they were good, they'd killed people without blinking an eye at the gathering point. Those lives had just vanished from this world. But were they bad? They'd killed bandits who were causing trouble everywhere. Now, seeing this peaceful scene, she felt they were just a bunch of ordinary people. Well, ordinary people with some powerful abilities!
"What are you going to do?" After a commotion, Zhao Hanyun looked at Hongzhi and asked. Although the master said he wanted to take her back, she was still alive and it was up to her to decide whether she was willing or not. "Would you like to consider what my master and the others said?"
"Are you willing to take me with you?" Hongzhi originally thought that this was the only interaction she had with these people, but after hearing Zhao Hanyun say this, her somewhat uneasy heart became even more uneasy. However, after looking up and seeing the kind faces of the two elderly people looking at her, she thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Hanyun with a firm gaze and said, "I want to stay here."
Hongzhi's words surprised Zhao Hanyun and the others, but they also felt that it was reasonable. This woman had a lot of secrets, but people could see through them at a glance. She knew her situation clearly, but she could still face it calmly. To be honest, not to mention Yuan Zhicheng and others who thought Hongzhi was a talented person, even Zhao Hanyun wanted to recruit her. Since the incident with Lin Yue, although Zhao Hanyun transferred the charity organization to the higher-ups, she was still the person in charge after all, and she needed someone to help her take care of everything.
"Stay here?" Zhao Hanyun looked at Hongzhi, who still refused to take off her veil. He wanted to persuade her, but gave up. This was her choice. If fate allowed them to meet again, perhaps they would. "Take it. After all, this is a place you are familiar with. I won't force you. Keep this thing. It may be helpful to you."
Hongzhi took what Zhao Hanyun threw to her, a very beautiful glass bottle with some water in it. When she heard the girl in front of her say that it would help her, she nervously put it in her arms. She also looked around and saw the light smoke not far away. Then she remembered that there was no living person here except them.
"And this, take it too." Zhao Hanyun gave Hongzhi a few more paper cranes, remembering the places where the phone calls couldn't get through. "Use them sparingly. If the phone calls don't get through, use these and we'll show up."
Hongzhi put it away obediently. She habitually tidied up the loose face towel and then bowed to Zhao Hanyun and the others: "Thank you, I'll be leaving first." She wanted to stay here. Meeting these people might be the greatest luck in her life. She heard their conversation at the gathering point just now. Some things other people can do, and she can do it too.
"I'll give you a ride." Zhao Hanyun looked at Hongzhi, who turned around resolutely and walked in the direction they came from. He shook his head and smiled, then swung his hand and sent her into the air. A larger paper crane suddenly appeared below Hongzhi. "Hold on tight. I won't be responsible if you fall."
"I'm afraid of heights!!!" Hongzhi's voice instantly rose twice as high. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look down at all. She just screamed from above: "Let me down, I'll walk back."
"Don't worry, it will be over in the blink of an eye." Zhao Hanyun ignored Hong Zhi, waved at her and said goodbye: "By the way, if you are alone, take off your face scarf and look at yourself. You are actually quite beautiful."
After sending Hongzhi away, Zhao Hanyun turned around and saw Yuan Zhicheng and Jiang Lao looking at him teasingly, while another one was staring at him with envy. Zhao Hanyun touched his nose and said, "What are you looking at? I'm good-looking but you don't need to admire me so much."
"Shameless girl." Yuan Zhicheng didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Hanyun's narcissism. He then looked at Old Jiang and asked, "I say, Old Jiang, if you hold me back later, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Let's go, let's go. We don't know who will hold back who." Jiang Lao turned around and headed towards the center of the desert. "Then we'll see what happens."
"Hey, you're still excited, right?" Yuan Zhicheng chased after them directly. The two old men were walking in the desert, and soon they had walked very far away. Even though they were far away, the sound of their argument could still reach the ears of Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li.
"You ignored me today!" Zou Li looked at Zhao Hanyun with some grievance. Her beautiful face was filled with loneliness. She looked at Zhao Hanyun and said, "You missed seeing me for half an hour and five minutes today because of another woman."
"..." Looking at Zou Li with a headache, Zhao Hanyun helplessly stretched out his hand and touched someone's head: "Be good, be good, let's do the business first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."
"You said it." Zou Li's eyes turned, and he immediately said seriously: "Let's hurry up and do it. It will be bad if we delay."
"How dare you say that." Someone was holding them back. Seeing that the two old naughty boys ahead had already left without a trace, Zhao Hanyun took Zou Li's hand and walked forward: "Let's go."
Populus euphratica, also known as the Populus euphratica or the tear tree, was a common sight along Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li's route. Able to withstand the harsh, arid, and unpredictable desert climate and its exceptional tolerance for saline-alkali soil, it is a rare tree species in nature. As Zhao Hanyun and his companions followed the branches, an increasingly desolate landscape appeared before them.
"It's really too dry here." Yuan Zhicheng squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand, feeling the hot sand slipping away from his hands. He looked at the withered tree trunk beside him and turned to look at Mr. Jiang, who looked like him, with some emotion: "Let's move quickly."
"Okay." The two old men nodded, with determination in their eyes, and continued to go deeper.
Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li followed behind. Every time they saw a withered poplar tree, they would plant a small one next to it, water it with space water, watch it grow and complement the old poplar tree next to it, and then they would continue to move forward.
"We will succeed." Looking at Zhao Hanyun's somewhat sad face, Zou Li reached out and rubbed his furrowed brows, comforting him, "Interfering too much will violate the laws of nature. Don't worry, we've already sent people to plant trees here. Just let nature take its course, and everything will be fine."
"Well, I believe that everyone will work hard for the future generations." Without saying anything else, Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li continued to move forward, continuing to water the poplar trees beside them and planting a small one.
