◎Spiritual energy gradually rises◎
Chapter 19
Ying Huai murmured softly and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see the sleeping ethereal sky through the azure sky.
The revival of spiritual energy, a term that had never been taken seriously by materialists before, had to be quickly accepted by the upper echelons of the Flower-Growing Country because of this sudden change in heaven and earth, and they had to come up with a response plan.
In order to better deal with the situation, all the Taoist lineage members with some abilities were left behind to help find talents with special abilities among official personnel who could be trained.
Since the disasters that may occur in the future are things that cannot be measured by normal means, they have to make preparations for both scenarios.
It is impossible to ask the flower-growing families to give up their current weapons of attack and defense, but what they fear is that if the capabilities of future humans cannot keep up with the alien creatures that will appear after the revival of spiritual energy, and their weapons cannot compete with them, what will happen?
It can be said that what the Taoist priest has brought others to help find now is to lay the foundation for possible future events.
He had to do two things at the same time, but he himself was not going to sit idle. Ever since he was able to absorb spiritual energy, he had been telling fortunes, wanting to know how big the impact would be after the changes in heaven and earth.
But the hexagrams that were usually very normal, as soon as they were related to the revival of spiritual energy, there was a sense of chaos.
Although he knew that his efforts were in vain, the Taoist still tried every day, just in case he could figure it out one day.
With such expectations, some of the people found by the authorities have already learned how to actively control the abilities that inexplicably appeared in their bodies.
But now their abilities are still very limited and they can't do anything big.
I can now handle small things with ease.
"Tang Ji, you kid, did you sneak out to smoke again?"
The captain looked at the boy who had sneaked back, his eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze was scrutinizing.
"No, I don't even have a lighter with me. Captain, didn't you search everything when we came in? Not to mention cigarettes, you even put away the lighter. How can I smoke now that I have nothing?"
The young man said this with a righteous look on his face.
"I report it, Captain, he will catch fire on his own. I just saw him set himself on fire."
Before the captain could doubt what he said, a man who had just gone out to the toilet came in and started reporting after hearing a few words, directly exposing his background.
After that person finished reporting, he noticed the warning look in the eyes of the person being reported, and began to make faces at the captain for help.
Seeing that the captain's eyes were beginning to show his determination for the 500-meter hurdles, Tang Ji cleverly led the person who had just reported him into the ditch.
"Captain, he's secretly calling his girlfriend under the pretext of taking a shit!"
"What evidence do you have? I don't have any electronic devices on me. How could I possibly call my wife?"
Seeing that he was about to be dragged into the ditch and punished together, the person on the opposite side quickly spoke out in rebuttal.
The captain didn't say anything, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.
"Of course I do, Captain. He can talk to the morning glory, and the morning glory on the other side can talk back!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the man and led him to a small-looking vine nearby. He reached out and turned it over, and saw a trumpet-shaped flower. He reached out and pulled one over and held it to the man's chin, motioning him to speak, his eyes burning.
“…”
The man looked at the person in front of him, then turned to look at the captain who was watching the two of them quarreling. His eyes were innocent and he was reluctant to say a word.
"Hey! Why don't you say something!"
Seeing him like this, Tang Ji thought he was trying to get away with it again, so he reached out and slapped him hard.
“Bang!!!”
"Hey hey! Tang Ji, you're so ruthless!"
Before I could react, the words had already been spoken.
Tang Ji was satisfied. He looked down at the morning glory in his hand and waved to the captain to come over.
"Mo Shan, could you please stop sending me voice messages? I still have to work."
A girl's voice came from the opposite side of the morning glory. Although she sounded like she was complaining when she said this, her voice was not at all, and she was smiling.
"But isn't Tang Ji your comrade? Did he send it to the wrong person?"
Tang Ji heard this and winked at the captain with satisfaction, as if to say, 'See, this guy is not much more honest than me.'
The captain didn't say anything, but made a gesture, indicating to Mo Shan to calm the person on the opposite side first and shut down this thing.
Seeing that he had to complete twenty laps of the 500-meter obstacle course, Mo Shan stopped worrying about it and whispered to the girl opposite him that he had pressed the wrong button and would contact her next time.
After saying goodbye, he took the morning glory from Tang Ji's hand, and like hanging up the phone, he placed it on the ground with the trumpet mouth facing down, and looked up to indicate that it was gone.
"Tell me, what's going on between you two? Why didn't you report it before?"
The captain turned around and walked ahead, asking the two men to follow him and explain things honestly.
"I only have a tiny spark, it's hard to even light a cigarette."
Tang Ji felt a little embarrassed. He tilted his head and looked to the side, feeling a little guilty.
"And you?"
The captain nodded after hearing Tang Ji's words, and without saying anything more, turned to look at Mo Shan who was following him.
"Well, I don't know what happened to me. Last night I was thinking about my girlfriend, and I muttered something. Suddenly, the morning glory next to me, which I was holding down, made a sound. It was my girlfriend's.
It was only after some probing that I was sure the person on the other end was indeed my girlfriend. My ability is quite strange, but my girlfriend's is normal. What I say here will be sent directly to her phone as a voice message."
Having said that, he wanted to scratch his head again, feeling that his brain was not enough and he wanted to grow another brain.
"I also don't understand how such a mysterious method can connect to my girlfriend's phone, a technological product, and automatically convert it."
"Have you tried anyone else?" The captain didn't respond after hearing what he said, but asked again.
"I've tried, but it seems like there's a layer of separation. This is the only way I can contact my girlfriend, so I'm embarrassed to say it. After all, it sounds pretty useless."
Mo Shan lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
You can't let him suddenly stand up and say that he has a special ability, which is that he can chat with his girlfriend across more than 20 kilometers without using a mobile phone, right?
The captain nodded after hearing this and did not continue talking to Mo Shan about this topic.
Even the Taoist priest who provided special assistance could not tell how these abilities that appeared now would develop in the end.
"Well, it's okay. You guys go do the obstacle race later, and I'll report the situation." The captain made the decision softly.
Seeing that they had no choice but to do this obstacle race, Mo Shan and Tang Ji nodded and headed towards the obstacle course.
Tang Ji saw that the captain asked him a few simple questions and then asked Mo Shan, and now he directly asked them to run to accept the punishment. He thought he had fooled it, and followed Mo Shan with a relaxed look on his face.
Who would have thought that before they had walked far, the captain who had been silent behind them and watching them move forward suddenly asked.
"Hey, Tang Ji, where did you get your cigarette?"
"Dun...my legs are numb from squatting. My legs are a bit uncomfortable. Captain, what did you just say?"
Oh my god, I almost got fooled!
"Oh, Dunzi, let's run! Go and call Zhuang Dun, all three of you together!"
The captain smiled meaningfully, turned around and left after saying this, leaving Tang Ji holding his forehead behind him.
Zhuang Dun was still resting in the dormitory. As soon as Tang Ji entered the door, he pulled him out and followed him through two laps of the obstacle course. Only then did he have the mind to ask Tang Ji about the situation.
"What's going on today? You two are so hardworking, and you even drag me along for extra training so late."
"It's not extra training. Tang Ji was caught smoking and gave you away. Let's run together~"
Before Tang Ji could answer, Mo Shan on the other side heard his words and came over from a distance, wanting to imitate Tang Ji's previous actions and stab Tang Ji.
"ha?……"
Zhuang Dun looked at Tang Ji in disbelief, as if he was a traitor, running very fast in front of him, not willing to look back at him.
"Tang Ji, stop right there! Stop right there!" Zhuang Dun howled when he saw Tang Ji running faster and faster.
But his physical strength was far inferior to Tang Ji's, and now Tang Ji was running at full speed, it would be strange for him to catch up. In desperation, he subconsciously wanted to grab something and throw it at Tang Ji.
What's more, he actually grabbed a pitch-black ball and threw it at Tang Ji's forehead.
Tang Ji felt the movement behind him, and just before the ball was about to hit his head, he reached out and grabbed it.
Just when I wanted to see what it was, I found it was soft cloth, and then I smelled a foul odor coming from my hands.
"Fuck you! Zhuang Dun, you have no moral integrity. You actually carry your stinky socks with you!"
Hearing the commotion here, the captain who had just finished reporting with his leader from afar wanted to scold the three of them, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by the Taoist priest next to him.
"He didn't take it out of himself. He grabbed it out of thin air."
Without saying much, just this one sentence made the captain swallow his scolding.
The team they formed now was specially selected by the Taoist in front of them.
Everyone in their team can more or less feel that something is different about themselves, but because it is too weak, they still don’t know what it is.
The captain is probably the one who knows the most.
"You mean he can take things out of thin air? Could it be the legendary space?"
The captain also likes to read novels, especially the recent changes in the world, which have made him believe in the fantasy novels he read when he was in school.
"Not necessarily, but I can't be sure now. Who would have thought that the spiritual energy revival in our world would not go in the direction of traditional fantasy? Even without spiritual roots, they can directly awaken their abilities."
The Taoist shook his head, indicating that he also didn't understand. This was somewhat contrary to what he had learned before, but he still had the basics.
At least the abilities they have awakened now are related to natural elements.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s ridiculous that morning glory can be used in conjunction with mobile phones. The fact is right in front of us.
Why does this spiritual energy revival seem like a joke...
It really seemed like a joke. Ying Huai lowered his head and looked at Xiao Shu'er who was happily playing with water. The other party just liked playing with water before, and could control the water in the basin to flow in the direction she wanted to a certain extent.
Who would have thought that in such a short time, she could control the water drops in the basin to jump out one by one.
Ying Huai had been watered by such small drops of water all morning.
Ying Huai is speechless now.
There was a little girl playing in the mud nearby. She was having so much fun that she would pat the ground with her hands from time to time.
I don’t know how she controlled it, but Ying Huai felt that the soles of his feet were a little itchy. It was this little girl who was deliberately moving the mud next to his tree roots.
Grandma Shitou patted the trunk of the Huai tree and said, "Godmother, please keep an eye on these little fools."
"You guys, don't run too far when you're playing. Play at the village entrance. If I find out you're still running around, I'll call your parents back to deal with you."
After Grandma Shitou finished speaking, she patted Shitou on the head, and it was obvious who she was talking to.
Among these boys, Shitou is the most familiar with the village. Every time he and his younger brothers and sisters go out to play, he is the one who leads the way.
"Go ahead and do your work. I'm here too, watching over them."
Zuzu smiled and agreed.
But when Grandma Shitou wasn't noticing, she took her hand back from the locust tree and smiled happily.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Zuzu to help keep an eye on these naughty monkeys."
After saying this, Grandma Shitou turned around, put on her small medicine basket, and continued to prepare to go up the mountain.
"By the way, don't touch the plant under Godmother's tree. It was almost dead. I saved it."
Before leaving, Grandma Shitou seemed to remember something. She turned to look at the little demon plant that was quietly staying beside Yinghuai Tree and gave it some advice.
She was afraid that if she didn't say more, those naughty monkeys might find it funny and dig it out. It looked lifeless to begin with, and if it was dug out again, it might die.
"Did you hear me? Don't move."
Zuzu listened to her instructions, turned to look at the group of children beside her, and followed her instructions.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, we definitely won't go."
Shitou followed the direction his grandmother pointed and saw the plant that now looked very inconspicuous. If his grandmother hadn't reminded him to do so, these children would never have noticed it, let alone dug it up.
It is possible that one might get addicted and step on it directly.
After receiving a positive answer, Grandma Shitou left.
She understands these naughty kids in her family. Even though they are a little mischievous, she still takes the adults' advice to heart.
After seeing his grandmother walking away, Shitou approached the little demon plant, which had regained some consciousness and was now observing the surrounding environment in a daze.
"You are so pitiful. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't survive on the mountain anymore, my grandma wouldn't have moved you down the mountain."
As Shitou said this, he reached out and poked the leaves of the little demon plant.
His grandmother always believed that plants can only grow normally if they are grown in a place suitable for them.
But now, how could the area under my godmother's tree be the most suitable place? My grandma must have had no other choice but to plant it here.
The little demon plant was originally quite happy, after all, it survived, but after being poked by the stone, it started crying.
Although it still didn't understand, it could feel sympathy from the stone.
"Good boy, this is really amazing. Even though we don't speak the same language, it can still touch people's hearts."
Ying Huai was speechless.
But he also knew that Shitou hadn't meant it at all, and hadn't realized at all that what he said would hurt Xiao Yaozhi's heart.
Not to mention the stone, even the children nearby didn't feel hurt at all, and nodded in agreement.
"You guys, please stop poking me. If I poke you to death, your grandma will come after you."
Grandma was watching these children from the side and wanted to stay there for a while, so she quickly called them back.
If one of them accidentally doesn't squat firmly and crushes the wilting seedling, these kids will be in big trouble.
"Ohhh, okay."
When Shitou and the others heard what Zuzu said, they were curious enough and responded obediently, moving away from the little demon plant.
"Grandpa, we still want to hear the story. Please tell us more."
Shitou came close to Zuzu and said with a smile.
In fact, he had heard the stories that Zuzu told many times, but he was afraid that Zuzu would be bored staying here every day, so he used this method to make Zuzu less bored.
"Okay, then I'll tell you..."
When Zuzu heard what Shitou said, he was very happy and began to recall the story and tell it to the children.
Ying Huai saw that the group of grandparents and grandchildren started telling and listening to stories again, and they inevitably interspersed stories and rumors about him.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and practice absorbing spiritual energy, he felt that the two little girls beside him showed no signs of stopping.
"These two little girls have great talent. They can control it so well at such a young age. They can use such a small amount of spiritual energy for such a long time."
Ying Huai lowered his head and took a few more glances, then muttered something. He saw that they didn't have much spiritual energy, and if he endured it for a while longer, they would tire themselves to sleep.
Sure enough, Ying Huai ignored the two little girls. Soon they fell asleep beside the Ying Huai tree, soundly sleeping.
If they were clean, Ying Huai would let them lie there like this.
But they have now turned themselves into mud monkeys. If they don't wash themselves, the mud will dry on their bodies. When they can't rub it off, the two little girls will scream in pain.
Grandpa was telling stories to a few children when he suddenly heard the rustling of leaves above his head. He looked up in the direction of the leaves and saw that the two little girls were already sleeping soundly.
"Shitou, Gangdian, go and take your sister back home and wipe her down before she goes to sleep. She's likely to catch a cold outside."
Zuzu reached out and pushed Shitou's arm.
"Ohhh, okay."
Of course, Shitou also saw the dirty looks of the two little girls, so he turned around and walked over to pick up one, and then picked up the remaining one, Gangbi.
"Grandpa, we're going home. Be careful here. If you encounter any inconvenience, call us."
As Shitou said this, he asked Xiaoling'er to take out some of Zuzu's cell phone and not hide it in layers, so as to avoid inconvenience when taking it out.
"Xiao Ling'er, Grandma's phone is hung directly around her neck, so she can easily get it."
Mobile phones for the elderly are not bulky, they just have large buttons and look ugly. However, these ugly designs make it convenient for the elderly to use.
Zuzu is also a girl who likes beautiful things, and her phone looks different from other people’s phones.
It didn't look good and was easy to break, so she simply found two plastic bags to put it in and put it in her pocket.
Every time the villagers wanted to find Zuzu, they would call her. She would hang up the phone automatically before even a minute was up. Fortunately, the villagers knew her habit, so if she didn't answer, they would call twice more.
Shitou obviously remembered her grandfather's habit. Today, all the elders in the village were out, and there was no one to chat under the tree. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to stay here alone without anyone watching her, so he asked Xiao Ling'er to hang up her cell phone.
"Okay, why are you so worried, kid?" Zuzu was forced to hang a cell phone around his neck. Seeing that Shitou was still talking, he quickly waved his hand and signaled them to leave.
"Wait until you have washed your sisters thoroughly. Come out to find me when they wake up."
As Zuzu spoke, he waved his hands in one direction as if he was herding little ducks home.
It can be seen that people of all ages don't like to be nagged.
"Godmother, the world has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it."
After most people had left, the little old lady turned her head to look in Ying Huai's direction and murmured something.
She came from an era where any mistake would result in being caught, and the caution and meticulousness that had been ingrained in her bones made it impossible for her to fail to see the recent changes in the village and in these children.
"If you don't understand, then don't read it. The children in the village will never let your old age be miserable."
The crown of the locust tree rustled for a while, and a leaf fell from the crown and landed directly in Zuzu's hand, as if to comfort him.
"Luckily, my godmother is a tree. Otherwise, if you continue to give her gifts, she will eventually pluck herself bald."
She held the leaves in her hand, looking a little amused.
Over the years, my godmother's way of comforting people has never changed, either with flowers or leaves.
Ying Huai listened to her words and waved the branches nonchalantly, causing another rustling sound.
These few leaves are not a problem for the Sophora japonica. As long as it has spiritual energy, it can stay green all year round and bloom and produce pods every day without any problem.
It’s just that there is not enough spiritual energy between heaven and earth now, and he doesn’t want to waste the already limited spiritual energy on this.
But it is still possible to comfort the children who grew up under your care.
"Godmother, I want the tallest bunch of flowers."
Seeing that the locust tree didn't have any special reaction, the old lady obviously didn't care. She raised her eyes and looked towards the treetop, and finally her eyes fell on a bunch of very bright locust flowers.
Hearing that she wanted it, Ying Huai didn't delay and gave it to her directly.
The little old lady always told other people's stories to the children in the village, but never told her own story in detail.
For example, the old lady's husband, the father of the village chief Wu Desheng, ran away to join the army during the most turbulent time outside and eventually died outside. His body has not been found to this day.
He died for his own ideals. The old lady respected her husband's ideas, so she let him go, but she herself was trapped in this small space for the rest of her life.
The children in the village said that her favorite place to stay was at the village entrance, accompanying her godmother, the locust tree. Only some of the older generation of adults vaguely knew that she was waiting for someone.
Waiting for someone who will never come back.
Just as Ying Huai was recalling the past of the little old lady, he heard a noise coming from outside the village.
"Hey girl, we went to so much trouble to find you a blind date, and you just go up and start a fight with him. What's wrong with that? You really are!"
Mei Zi's voice was very loud because of her anger. Tang Tang, who was being chased by her, had run so fast that her afterimage was almost visible. She ran into the village quickly without saying a word to her mother, for fear that if she said a word, she would be caught by her mother.
"Grandpa, help me! My mother is chasing me!!!"
As soon as they entered the village, they saw Zuzu lying on a recliner, and Tangtang spoke quickly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she very alertly hid behind Zuzu and squatted down.
"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Zuzu was puzzled and quickly reached out to stop Mei Zi and asked.
"This Tangtang even cried out that his mother was chasing him."
"Grandma, you don't know. Today, her third mother introduced a young man to her. He has a good temperament and family background. But after they met, I don't know how the conversation turned to martial arts. I haven't even asked for the details, but in the end, she got sparring with him and got two purple eyes!"
Mei Zi got angry when she talked about this. He was such a clean and handsome boy, but someone beat him up and made his eyes red and purple.
"He wanted to spar with me. He even said he was first in his school's competition. I'm also a champion. How can I spoil him? I'll know if he's first after we fight."
"He said he would give in to me, but he fell down before I even put any effort into it."
Tang Tang said this with a curled lip, somewhat disdainful.
The reason why Tang Tang took such a harsh approach was that when the other party mentioned that he was number one, he glanced at her with no kindness in his eyes, as if he was measuring how to control her after she was really with him.
It was this look that made her feel something was wrong, and then she exploded.
So many times, Tang Tang would not believe what others said about the person, she always believed in her own feelings.
Her intuition was always right and had saved her many times.
But she just felt bad. Others didn't do anything to her, and if she told others about it, she would be in the wrong. So Tang Tang simply didn't say anything, and just followed her own logic and didn't let her judgment be influenced.
She had her own set of ideas, so even though she knew that the man was a blind date candidate arranged by her mother, she would still beat him up.
If Ying Huai could hear her inner thoughts, he would probably explain a few words to her.
The reason why her intuition was so accurate was because she herself was unlucky enough, so the luck that Ying Huai gave her was always pulling her away from the unlucky path. This strong feeling of pulling gave her the feeling that her intuition was very accurate.
She had never told anyone about her feelings, so Mei Zi didn't understand why Tang Tang did this today.
But on the way back, she had actually vented most of her anger while chasing after Tang Tang. Now, she was just confused.
The three people were still arguing under the tree. Ying Huai looked down at Tang Tang's head and wanted to sigh.
"Mei Zi is still anxious. Her luck was already dissipating, and today's pull has caused it to dissipate even more than usual."
Ying Huai shook his head, and the branches rustled as he shook them.
But it cannot be said that Mei Zi was wrong. Tang Tang had met someone before, and that person's luck was quite compatible with Tang Tang. Although he didn't add any blessing, he stopped the loss of Tang Tang's luck that Ying Huai had given him.
Unfortunately, it only stopped for two days, and when I looked again later, the loss had resumed, with no signs of improvement.
So it’s useless. You still have to find someone who is completely compatible with you to have a chance.
However, now the world is changing strangely, and even the secrets of heaven are a little confusing. It is becoming more and more difficult to calculate in terms of metaphysics, and Ying Huai has no specific direction, so Mei Zi can only take Tang Tang with her to try her luck everywhere.
Ying Huai no longer expects to find someone who is compatible with Tang Tang. He has been thinking recently that since the children in the village and Grandma Shitou can possess special abilities, whether Tang Tang can also have them, but her luck is too bad now, so she is suppressed.
Thinking in this direction, Ying Huai thought of making a spirit gathering array for Tang Tang to carry with her, perhaps this would increase her awakening speed.
Since Ying Huai came from the world of cultivation, why didn't he directly bring the skills from the world of cultivation to this world?
Anyway, it’s all about the revival of spiritual energy. Isn’t the awakened ability the same as the five elements of spiritual roots in the world of cultivation?
Ying Huai had also seen this. He did not feel any spiritual roots among the people who awakened their abilities. He just felt a ball of energy inexplicably appear in their bodies. As the energy grew stronger, their abilities increased.
Of course Ying Huai has the skills from the world of cultivation.
After all, many cultivators went into the Tianyuan Secret Realm where he had stayed before to look for treasures. Some died accidentally, while others went in specifically to build tombs to store their inheritance.
He has been in the Tianyuan Secret Realm for more than a thousand years, but he doesn't know this. Then his time is really in vain.
But if he were asked to take out those things, he wasn't sure if they would be suitable for this new world.
"Let's take another look and study it."
Ying Huai muttered something and continued to watch the three people arguing with each other with his head down. In the end, it was the leaves dropped by Ying Huai that stopped Mei Zi and Tang Tang from continuing to quarrel.
"Look, this godmother is trying to stop you. She thinks that person is not a good person. Don't continue to make trouble with Tangtang~"
Zuzu said this, reaching out and patting Tangtang.
"You too, stop arguing with your mother and make things clear."
After being pointed at by Zuzu, Tangtang had to give up and continue to shrink. "I just feel that he is not a good person. I don't understand why so many people like him."
After hearing what Tang Tang said, Mei Zi knew that there was no hope for this matter today.
"I don't know if it's because they don't get along, or if it's something else, whatever."
Anyway, it has nothing to do with her now.
"That's enough. If you don't like it, then it's fine. Going on a blind date is for you to see for yourself. If you like her, that's fine. If not, your Third Mother and the others won't say anything."
The only thing Mei Zi didn't say was: "You can't hit people."
But she knew that Tang Tang didn't want to hear this now, so she had to swallow it.
According to Tang Tang, the fight was initiated by the man. There were staff from the store nearby who testified at the time, but they had no intention of settling the score with Tang Tang, so they just pretended it never happened.
"Let's go, let's go back. You ate it during the blind date, but I haven't touched it at all. Let's go home and eat."
Mei Zi thought about it and felt that her daughter was a little stupid. Other people on blind dates tried hard to get to know each other so as not to miss out on the person they were interested in, but her daughter was different. She focused on eating and started eating as soon as the food was served.
"We paid for the food on this table, so if I eat more, I can make my money back."
Tang Tang was sure that her mother would not continue to chase her and beat her, so she mumbled an explanation behind her.
"Okay, hurry up and follow."
Zuzu noticed that she was walking slowly and reached out to give her a slight push.
"Oh~Okay, Zuzu, I'm leaving now."
Grandpa was urging her, so Tangtang had no choice but to quicken her pace and chase in the direction her mother was going.
After most people had left, Zuzu lay down again, looking at the swaying branches above, chatting with Ying Huai with a smile.
"Tangtang, this kid, still doesn't know what's going on with her. I wonder when Meizi will tell her."
"But it's better to do this sooner rather than later. The world is not peaceful these days. If you leave it too late, your luck will be gone and life will be difficult in the future."
Listening to the little old lady's words, Ying Huai nodded in his heart.
But everyone has their own choices. Mei Zi wanted Tang Tang to live a more worry-free life, but they couldn't do that.
Not long after they left, just when Zuzu and Ying Huai thought that there should be no problem today and were waiting for the two little girls behind to wake up, and a bunch of children came here to make a fuss again, they saw a figure who looked a little embarrassed walking in from outside, dragging a very heavy suitcase in his hand.
"Hey, who is this?"
After Zuzu noticed the embarrassed figure, he turned to look at Ying Huai in confusion.
Seeing that Yinghuai tree didn't react at all, not even its branches were shaking, Zuzu knew that this must be a child from her own village, but he must not have been back very often, or he had only been back once or twice, otherwise she would not have forgotten him.
In the time it took to say this, the man was already walking towards her direction. As he walked, he was holding a photo and looking around, as if he was comparing.
As she got closer, she looked at the photo in her hand, then raised her eyes to look at her grandfather and the Sophora japonica tree next to them. Although there were some changes, she could still see that they were still the people and scenery in the photo.
"Hello, my name is Chu Xinran. Are you Zuzu?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands somewhat embarrassedly and handed the photo in her hand to Zuzu to see.
Because the grandmother was old enough and her generation was long enough, even though the villagers were not blood relatives of the village chief's family, they were surprisingly consistent in how they addressed the little old lady.
"Hmm? Let me see, whose child are you from?"
Zuzu reached out to take it, and looked at the photo. She saw only her and her godmother standing in the picture, and she couldn't tell who took the photo, so she couldn't help but ask another question.
Just from the perspective of the person taking the photo, we can tell that he must have been standing quite close to her when taking the photo, but he didn't tell her that he was taking a photo.
Otherwise she wouldn't be so natural, and the scissors hands and the grinning face are inevitable.
"Hello, grandpa. I am the great-granddaughter of Lu Youfu." As soon as the person on the other side spoke, a name that grandpa missed appeared.
He was the first one to leave the village to check the situation. It was also because of him that the villagers took the initiative to attack and finally reaped rich rewards.
But he didn't live as long as Zuzu, and died before her.
His only daughter got married a few years ago and has been living away from home rarely. His daughter is also an only child.
Judging from the time, the person in front of him might really be his great-granddaughter.
I just don’t know what happened to this child that made him appear in Daxi Village in such a miserable state.
