Chapter 386 385. Ruins Gift [2-in-1]
When Zhou Qian woke up, he felt full of energy and relaxed and comfortable all over his body. The carriage was still dark, but a little light leaked from the crack in the door, making him realize that it was already daybreak...
etc!
It's daybreak!
He sat up instantly, then got dressed and got out of bed. When he opened the car door, he saw the bright sunshine above his head.
Looking at my wrist again in a daze, the communicator showed the time of 10:30 am.
For a moment, Zhou Qian's heart was beating wildly, and he even began to wonder if everything that had happened before was an illusion...
"Brother Zhou Qian, are you awake?"
Huai Yu stuck his head out from one side and looked at him happily at this moment: "Did you sleep well? I saw that you were very tired. It happened that Lin Xuefeng and I were not sleepy, so we didn't ask you to get up again."< br>
Moreover, after the water curtain is raised, the water temperature is also slowly increasing. After the entire space warms up, it feels no worse than the car. Huaiyu was afraid of waking up Zhou Qian, so he simply called Dazai, Erzai and the others to the fire.
The eldest cub and the second cub have no feathers. Although they are not very afraid of the cold, they also like to be close to fire sources. Kataro saw light in the middle of the night, so he began to search all over the ground again, trying to work.
The chickens were nesting together comfortably. They were fluffy, and they were intoxicated by the warmth of the fire. They were obviously very comfortable.
Only Big Fatty stayed far away from the fire, and finally chose a piece of soft soil to take root.
Huaiyu looked up at the night sky late at night and saw the exceptionally bright stars.
But now, she was very happy to see Zhou Qian's obviously energetic appearance: "Are you hungry? You made pancakes with pickles this morning, do you want to eat them?"
Zhou Qian didn't bother to ask any more questions, and subconsciously touched his belly at this moment.
Then he reacted: "Where is Lin Xuefeng?"
Huaiyu pointed to the distance: "He said there is a small piece of urban ruins there that has not been buried under the roots of plants. Go and see what you can bring back."
Urban ruins are also a feature in the wasteland.
Before the catastrophe, the country had a population of over one billion. Major cities were crowded with people, and high-rise buildings were everywhere. Especially the prosperous cities in the Central Plains are overcrowded and under constant pressure.
And when a disaster strikes, the closer you get to the center, the more everything will turn upside down in an instant, without even giving people time to react.
High-rise buildings and mountains collapsed, buildings were buried, and the entire earth's crust seemed to have turned over. The crowds of people and the overwhelming steel and concrete above were buried directly into the heart of the earth, replaced by overwhelming forests and wilderness.
Only a few people developed supernatural powers at the first time, and they stumbled around, protecting the people around them and escaping from natural disasters, and then all the way to the surrounding cities that had not been completely overturned.
In this disaster, plants quickly occupied this uninhabited land with their powerful growth ability. Eventually, a new urban state was formed with the wasteland as the center and the surrounding cities wrapped and connected.
Wasteland plants expanded rapidly from the beginning, and then were firmly blocked by people, and finally succeeded in maintaining their current status.
But Huaiyu doesn’t have much memory of these tragic pasts, and even when communications have been destroyed, many people still don’t quite understand the truth.
She even thought that the whole country was like Huacheng. Although it was in tatters, it could be repaired and restored to the past.
Now when I talk about the ruins of the city, I look forward to it: "I wonder if we will find any treasures! It seems that before the disaster, our life was very comfortable and convenient."
Zhou Qian does know, but it has been six years, from the initial collapse of being unable to accept social unrest to the current sigh, time can heal everything.
So he also nodded, and then looked at Huai Yu's state, which was no different from before. As he walked along, he said curiously: "Xiao Yu, you two last night..."
Huaiyu instantly became happy: "Brother Zhou Qian, Lin Xuefeng said last night that he likes me very much!"
She put the cake left in the morning into the pot to reheat, and prepared the pickles. She thought about it and asked, "Is it too dry to just eat the cake? I'll make you some egg tea."
Zhou Qian was twisting the towel and rubbing his face vigorously. He was not used to this fast pace - the disaster had affected many people, and hesitant emotions rarely appeared anymore. After all, no one knows which one will come first, happiness or accident.
This is especially true in the defensive army.
but!
As Xiaoyu's brother, he still has to be more cautious: "It's too fast to like him! How did he like him? Does he really like whoever he sees at first sight in the cocoon?"
"Also, did you think he was good-looking, so he fell in love right after he woke up?"
Huaiyu thought for a while and suddenly became happy again: "Really? If you repair it once in a tree cocoon, you will like it at first sight? Then from now on I..."
"No future!"
Zhou Qian said warily: "Just say it now."
"Oh." Huaiyu suppressed his desire to experiment, turned the cake over in the pot, then pulled Zhou Qian to sit down, and said seriously: "Brother Zhou Qian, we didn't fall in love as soon as we met."
"I dragged him for a long walk in the wilderness. I was tired, in pain, and very lonely. I was so tired that I cried, but I couldn't leave him behind..."
When she said this, Zhou Qian felt a tingling pain in his heart.
He pressed Huai Yu's shoulder: "Xiaoyu..."
Huaiyu held his hand with his backhand: "Brother Zhou Qian, I've told you this many times, why are you still feeling so uncomfortable? I was describing the situation to you - in short, because it was too hard, I would chat with him .”
"I don't know if Lin Xuefeng will hear it, but if I chat with him and pretend that someone is with me, I will be much happier. Later, I have begun to fantasize about his words and deeds after waking up."
She became happy again when she thought of this: "Although there is a little difference, Lin Xuefeng is still very good when he wakes up. Then I will like him, isn't it normal?"
After she finished speaking, she sighed deeply and patted the back of Zhou Qian's hand maturely:
"Sister Shen Xing once told me about love, and Wu Yue also told me in the past... Those are very complicated things, and I don't need to understand them."
"I only know that I really like being with him, that's fine."
Zhou Qian understood.
But there is nothing surprising, Xiaoyu has been so straightforward and enthusiastic from the beginning.
He asked again: "What about Lin Xuefeng? He is still coaxing you at such an old age..."
Originally, everyone praised Lin Xuefeng for being young and promising, and his appearance was particularly clear, but that was not the case in Zhou Qian's eyes.
"I like to be coaxed."
Huaiyu said confidently: "I have also talked about people of the same age - look at that garbage!"
She knocked the eggs into the bowl and stirred with her chopsticks so hard that it seemed like she was going to break the bowl.
"Brother Zhou Qian, I know what you're worried about... You think feelings come too quickly, and you're afraid they'll go too quickly, right?"
"No! I have been chatting with Lin Xuefeng, and he has been listening and answering in his heart. He has been looking forward to me for a long time."
"He said that I am the only one who will not give up on him, and will firmly choose him. No matter how hard or tired I am, I will never leave him behind... Wow, I am so perfect and noble! He would be a fool to give up on me!" "Think about it. Look, if someone did this to you, wouldn’t you leave?”
"Oh, except the unlucky one."
Zhou Qian: "..."
This is how he became a long-term worker! In short, Huaiyu didn’t suffer at all!
Including Chen Xing and the others, she gave up everything and still wanted to follow him into the wilderness to find Xiaoyu. Isn't it because Huaiyu once risked his life to save her? !
Although he knew that it was not Huaiyu's risk-taking state, in Chen Xing's view, it was already there.
OK!
In this case...
He stretched out his ruthless iron hand and took out the pancakes from the pot, took a big bite and said, "As long as you are happy."
Huaiyu poured boiling water into the bowl with a crooked look on his face, and answered firmly at this moment: "I am very happy."
……
Lin Xuefeng didn't come back until after one o'clock.
Far away, you can hear Huaiyu and Zhou Qian chatting about the future planning of the house. His stern face suddenly became vivid, and now he quickened his pace and rushed to the heights, quickly overcoming the obstacle in front of him.
During this period, there were a few mutated creatures hesitantly looking around, but they were just small things, so he just pretended not to see them.
Only when he got closer did he realize that they were not just chatting, but also drawing pictures on the ground to make detailed plans.
He couldn't help but smile in his eyes. The uneasiness and the dark corners that were about to stir up were gradually dissipated in last night's reassuring talk. At this moment, he subconsciously stepped forward, eager to participate.
Until he saw the picture on the ground.
This is——
Not sure, take another look.
He looked at it for a long time, but Zhou Qian and Huai Yu were still discussing the plan of the utility shed, so they couldn't help but ask: "Where do you see this picture...?"
I missed the topic at the beginning, so I couldn’t cut into this picture, right? As a former art major, he could only ask serious questions.
Zhou Qian glanced at him, thinking about him coaxing Xiaoyu, it was inevitable that he would be a little displeased. But when I think about Xiaoyu's thoughts from beginning to end, and her life of never suffering a loss, this unpleasantness is reflected in her current life as a long-term worker, and becomes more subtle.
So he said "hum" and turned away.
But Huaiyu really just discovered that he was back!
At this moment, he happily waved: "Lin Xuefeng! You are back... Come and see here. This is the plan of our house. This is Brother Zhou Qian's big house..."
Lin Xuefeng took another steady look at the picture on the ground. It was an irregular square with some geometric patterns of circles and squares inside...
Ah, it turns out this is a house.
He looked at Huaiyu who looked confident, then naturally took the branch from her hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't hear your idea just now, can you tell me again now?"
He took two steps back to make room, then started to draw a standard straight line on the ground.
Zhou Qian looked at Huaiyu's crooked picture with nothing visible, then at Lin Xuefeng, and then at Huaiyu who didn't notice anything...
Forget it, stop reading.
But Huaiyu had already pulled him back a few steps: "Quick, brother Zhou Qian, tell Lin Xuefeng about your living habits! He knows how to make furniture, and he can definitely help you make it better - right?" br>
The last sentence was asked while looking at Lin Xuefeng with great expectation.
Lin Xuefeng nodded decisively: "Yes."
But this description was the most difficult thing for Zhou Qian. He was used to living in regular dormitories. For a moment, he thought that he didn't have many ideas. After thinking about it at this moment, he could only change the topic:
"Don't worry about the house. Go back and look at the place before planning. Winter is not suitable for building a house. By the way, Lin Xuefeng, go check the ruins and find anything useful?"
Speaking of this, Lin Xuefeng reached out to block Huaiyu's eyes, and then took out something from his pocket——
When he retracted his hand, Huaiyu only saw a golden light falling from his palm, then swaying twice, revealing his true appearance.
It was a gold cloisonné enamel hollow incense box, antique Ruyi style, the golden appearance seemed to have just been cleaned, and the yellow color was not old at all. The ruby and jade embellished on it are harmonious and harmonious.
The entire incense box is only five centimeters long, hung by a golden necklace, shining with extraordinarily dazzling beauty in the sunlight.
"Do you like it?"
Behind the incense box is Lin Xuefeng's smiling face. His eyes moved as he watched Huaiyu happily take the thing into his hand, turn it over and over, and then reminded: "This box can be opened, and you can put one of your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus, plum blossom, and wild chrysanthemum scented balls in it every day. ”
Having said this, he looked at Katsaro who was working by the forest in the distance.
Huaiyu had already hung the incense box on his chest, then picked it up and looked at it, then asked happily: "Does it look good?"
“Good-looking.”
Looking at Zhou Qian again, he glanced at Lin Xuefeng silently and said in a low voice: "It looks good."
When Huaiyu entered the carriage to pick out the incense balls, Zhou Qian asked: "Are the ruins buried very shallow? The gold jewelry is exposed."
"No." Lin Xuefeng shook his head: "There is a mutated Lingxiao tree living in symbiosis with the swallows. In winter, the swallows are no longer here, and the Lingxiao has withered, revealing this incense box hung on the branch."
He took it back and spent some time cleaning it carefully, so it was delayed for a while.
"I guess it may have been buried with the ruins, and then the new branches got stuck on the buckle of the incense box and grew together."
The so-called ruins are actually just a few broken walls exposed on the ground. If the earth hadn't overturned and buried it deeply, the first thing the garrison would have done if there were supernatural powers was to dig three feet into the ground.
But in fact, the world was turned upside down overnight, and many people were unconsciously killed in their dreams... The high-rise buildings can only reveal broken walls. If they insist on turning over, the entire wasteland will collapse.
Only explorers like this kind of place, because you can always find something useful even in ruins. But more often than not, ruins have become homes occupied by mutant creatures.
Zhou Qian nodded, not surprised by this guess. Just...
"Take Xiaoyu over to have a look. She has never seen it before and will be very interested. In addition, she likes mutated plants. There are also many cuttings collected in the upper level. Ask her if she wants mutated Lingxiao flowers."
Lin Xuefeng nodded: "I understand."
In addition, he pointed to the picture on the ground: "Who drew this? You?"
Zhou Qian felt insulted.
Come on, come on! ! I slept for nine hours yesterday, which was great! This is the update on the 20th! Return home this afternoon.
