Chapter 55: The Thorn That Loves to Eat Fruit
The girl's eyes were dull and she seemed listless, but in fact she was taking in everything around her.
"Have you learned it? Make one for me." Luo Yunjin put his hands behind his back, a serious look on his face. "It's not easy to be a salted fish. You have to find the right balance and not be too deliberate. Otherwise, you'll end up like the little tabby. You see, it went too far."
The little tabby boy in a red bellyband had his tongue sticking out of his mouth, his eyes were crossed, and his limbs were in a Z shape as if they were broken.
"It's a typical case of late-stage epilepsy. I have to say, although it doesn't look like a salted fish, its performance is good." Luo Yunjin applauded seriously, expressing his appreciation for the little tiger's acting skills.
"Of course, we can't be too casual." Luo Yunjin looked at his second brother's zombie who was drooling with disgust.
Its mouth was slightly open, saliva was secreted unconsciously, and its expression was dull.
"This is dementia. You can't learn it."
Seeing that Lin Xi did not take any action, Luo Yunjin simply helped him shape his body himself.
"Actually, being a salted fish is easy." She manipulated the man's limbs, twisting them into the shape of seaweed. Then she pulled his eyelids, opening them only a third of their original width, with a look of contempt and laziness. She put one shoe on, then took the other off.
The most critical step is to hold an opened bag of potato chips in your hand.
"Jiang Jiang!" Luo Yunjin picked up his phone with satisfaction and took a photo of him. Then he squatted beside him, made a scissors hand gesture, and took a photo together.
"This feeling is just right, dementia-like but not mentally retarded, lazy but not casual, perfect!" She silently set the photo as her phone's desktop background.
Lin Xi lay on the old man's chair, looking up at the lush green apple leaves in the sky at a 53-degree angle. The posture of his body was surprisingly comfortable!
"I'm putting you in the seaweed position, the octopus position, the coiled position, and so on. These are all profound knowledge and cannot be learned overnight. You are still too young and have a long way to go!" Luo Yunjin said in a mature tone.
Lin Xi:......
The little tabby boy looked at Lin Haicao Xi with admiration. He wanted to imitate her pose, but because his arms and legs were too short, he could never get the right posture.
"How is it? Isn't it good? Do you think it's great to be a salted fish?" Luo Yunjin squatted aside and showed Lin Xi the photos she had just taken.
Lin Xi closed his eyelids by two-thirds, almost completely.
“You, you, I…”
"I think you are quite suitable to be a salted fish. Let us soak in the salt jar happily together!" Luo Yunjin clapped his hands and lay on another elderly chair next to him.
Soon, two salted fish appeared on the spot, one with epilepsy and the other with dementia.
It took Lin Xi a long time to realize what he was doing.
He picked up the phone on the table, took another look at his ugly appearance, and his worldview was shocked.
"No, we can't give up. We have to get out. Since that woman lied to us, I guess the seeds she gave us are also problematic."
Luo Yunjin also thought of it, and quickly took out the box, picked up a watermelon seed and planted it to induce growth.
Soon, a patch of pitcher plants grew on the ground.
This is a mutated pitcher plant with extremely sharp teeth. A flower bud grew as soon as it was planted. It opened its bloody mouth and ate a stone thrown in by Luo Yunjin.
"Are these seeds all mutant plants?" Luo Yunjin was frightened when he saw that the pitcher plant was not picky about food at all.
It can even digest stones and grow a little bit visibly. It is a very scary creature.
"Well, so you still plan to grow your own food? It won't work." Lin Xi found a lighter and burned all the seeds, including the little pitcher plant.
"People are treacherous." He touched the girl's pale face, "But as long as I'm here, you won't be hurt. Just be content and be a salted fish. I'll support you."
Luo Yunjin was instantly touched. "Ah? You're so kind. I agree with your confession. From now on, you can be promoted from a male servant to a bodyguard."
"Thorns are one of the most commonly used offensive seeds by plant-based espers. As long as your esper is strong enough, you might be able to subdue this mutant thorn."
"What should I do?" Luo Yunjin planted a beauty fruit. She had to take good care of her skin. The beauty fruit tasted like a pear, sweet and thirst-quenching.
"Just use these magical fruits you planted. Mutated creatures seem to like this kind of fruit." Lin Xi pointed at the second brother zombie who was drooling while holding his fingers. The other's eyes were fixed on the beauty fruit in the girl's hand without blinking.
Luo Yunjin threw the fruit core away.
Sure enough, a slender branch suddenly stretched out from the thorns outside and quickly rolled away the fruit core.
The big earthworm was separated by thorns in the small space next door. It seemed to sense the sweet taste of the fruit and began to riot.
Luo Yunjin planted another beauty fruit and peeled it with a knife to let the juice inside flow out.
As expected, the thorns covering the villa began to shake violently, and countless sharp branches stretched out, but they did not dare to directly snatch the fruit from the girl.
"Mutated plants are naturally afraid of those with planting abilities and will not actively attack them." Lin Xi explained in real time.
Luo Yunjin handed the fruit over.
One of the softest branches retracted its thorns, carefully reached out, rolled up the fruit, and then quickly fled.
The other branches also slowly retreated.
In an instant, the surrounding thorns stopped expanding, and the originally buried passage reopened.
The big earthworm anxiously stuck its big head in, and was relieved to see that they were all fine.
Behind it, under a withered laurel tree, a black cat wagged its tail and looked up at the intertwined vines. In the center, there was a cluster of snow-white fruits.
The black cat's whiskers trembled.
He turned to look in the direction of the girl, a complex expression flashing in his black pupils.
The fruit of life was actually on her body!
The big black cat nimbly jumped onto the branch and climbed flexibly among the thorns. Soon its body was covered with wounds from the thorns, but its eyes were determined and it kept climbing towards the fruit.
Finally, just as it stretched out its claws to reach it.
Several thick branches hit its body hard, and drops of blood fell.
Affected by the smell of blood, the thorns that had originally calmed down rioted again.
The big black cat struggled to hook its claws onto the nearby vines to prevent itself from falling, but its entire body was hanging in the air.
Bang!
Another thorny vine flew over.
Its claws were injured and it involuntarily let go of the vines.
Soon, it fell from the sky.
The cat, who had lost too much blood, half closed his eyes.
Maybe this is the end of it.
Cold body, cold ground, cold world.
But the imagined pain did not appear, and it fell into a warm embrace.
Ding ding ding, please give me a five-star book review and recommendation votes~
————————
The mutated thorn turned into a small potted plant. It retracted its sharp thorns and held the snow-white beauty fruit with two green leaves on the branch.
Snap!
On the top branch, a cherry-like mouth opened, and the leaves all over the body were swaying as it carefully and reservedly ate the fruit one bite at a time.
