Chapter Sixty-Nine: Mutated Sugar Cane
"Hehe, thank you Sister Lulu for your blessings, I will definitely try my best to do my best. Chu Xiran stretched out his hand to hug Xing Lu and said with emotion: "I really hope that you are my own sister, so that we will be together for the rest of our lives." ”
"Silly girl, what's wrong with not your own sister?, and don't delay me to hurt you!" Xing Lu complained dotingly.
"Oh, yes, my sisters may not love each other like we do! I really love you, Sister Lulu. I can't help but look forward to it, if Sister Lulu becomes my sister-in-law in the future, they must get along more harmoniously than ordinary sisters-in-law, right?
has always been floating in the world like duckweed, whether it is Cong Lu, who has not crossed the previous orphan and has no support, or Xing Lu, who is now miserable after the death of both parents, he has never thought about loving himself well. But Chu Xiran, who has only met for a month now, has given herself wholehearted dependence and trust, and she really loves herself.
I can't help but feel infinite tenderness in my heart, and I want to do my best to take care of this little sister given to me by God.
"Silly girl, tell Uncle Cang and Uncle Da tomorrow about your decision, let's cultivate together in the future!
"Well, I'm not afraid! I feel so happy to think that we can cultivate together in the future!" Chu Xiran was obviously looking forward to cultivating with Xing Lu.
The night was unexpectedly calm and peaceful, without the infestation of mutated animals, not even the most common mutant rats in rural China.
After breakfast the next day, Chu Xiran, with Xing Lu's encouragement, told everyone about his decision. Regarding the fact that she wanted to practice two exercises at the same time, their first reaction was not that they felt that Chu Xiran was greedy, but that they were worried that if they practiced two exercises at the same time, there would be any conflicts and what harm would be caused to her. They persuaded her to give up this idea, but Chu Xiran's attitude was very resolute, and no one could persuade anyone for a while.
Until the departure of the team, no outcome had been discussed.
In the end, Chu Yu, who had a serious face, carefully studied "All Things" and "Materia Medica" in the car, and then let go of his worries. It's just that he told his sister with a serious face that even if there is no conflict between the two exercises, her cultivation difficulty will increase a lot. He asked Chu Xiran to think about it carefully, if it was still this idea, he had no opinion.
Xing Lu had already told himself yesterday about what he said about the increase in the difficulty of his cultivation and the difficulty of advancement, so Chu Xiran was not surprised, and repeatedly assured that he was not afraid of hardship.
And her brother finally expressed his support, which made her feel very happy, what else is more joyful about the attitude of 'I will support your decision to the end'?!
Less than an hour after the team departed, the car in front stopped.
Xing Lu looked out of the car window, and it turned out that the team had encountered a tall mutated sugarcane forest.
After the cataclysm, all kinds of condiments could no longer be produced for the time being, so sugar became precious. The large patch of mutated sugar cane here is also very pleasing to everyone's eyes, and they are eager to go up and pick more.
Feixue, who had been sleeping on her stomach in Xing Lu's arms, quickly jumped out while she was not paying attention, and disappeared into the sugarcane forest.
"This gluttonous guy doesn't care about anything when he has something delicious, and he runs away without even saying hello!" Xing Lu couldn't help complaining. She wasn't worried about its safety at all, don't look at Feixue's appearance as just an ordinary rabbit, but Xing Lu knew that Feixue would definitely not be ordinary. The mere fact that it can appear at the bottom of a sinkhole and feed on all kinds of rare herbs can be concluded that this docile little creature must have something unusual about it.
The sugar cane here is typical of perennial black-skinned sugar cane, and at the bottom of it still leaves some traces of previous harvesting. But the marks of the size of the baby's arms are a little insignificant compared to the unusually thick sugar cane after the mutation.
Now these sugarcanes are six or seven centimeters in diameter, and the upper part of the black-purple tall and thick stem, there are also wide, narrow leaves, which quickly extend and hit the crowd when everyone approaches. Everyone has been fighting against mutant plants for a long time, and they are always on guard against its attacks, so they didn't succeed.
"Oh, my handsome little face is almost ruined on this sugar cane leaf!" Roach stroked his cheek, jokingly.
Just now, he was bent on getting more of this kind of food, so he walked at the front of the line, and when he retreated, he was blocked by the people behind, and he was almost attacked by the leaves of the mutated sugar cane.
"Hehe, glutton, see if you dare to be so anxious in the future!" replied to him with Chu Xiran's taunt as always.
"Alas~ I still think I'm getting older, and I'll give you some of the mutated sugarcane harvested this time, since you think I'm still a glutton, then I don't have to force myself to do what I don't want to do, I'm still honestly my own glutton!"
"What? Brother Roach, you want to give me some of it? Hehe, you must have misheard it just now, I didn't say you, I... It's Feixue, this Feixue is really a glutton, and we didn't wait for us to go in in a hurry, right, Sister Lulu?" Chu Xiran regretted it in his heart, he didn't say that if he knew it.
"Didn't say me, in that case, I'll barely force you to do it then!" Roach said with a tense face, but the corners of his mouth that were almost upturned twitched a little because of his control.
"Thank you, Brother Luo Qi! By the way, brother, you are also an adult, and give me some of the mutated sugarcane you harvested then?" Chu Xiran didn't feel embarrassed at all, and asked for it confidently.
"It's up to you to behave. After Chu Yu finished speaking, he took the Tang knife and rushed out of the crowd first, entangled with the leaves stretched out by those mutated sugar canes.
Aside from the fact that the leaves can be used as weapons, the Mutant Sugarcane has very low attack power. In front of this group of high-level abilities, he seemed a little vulnerable, and he was defeated with almost no effort.
Everyone only used the knives in their hands to cut the mutated sugarcane from the roots, and did not destroy it at will, so that it would not be long before a mutated sugarcane forest would grow.
In the innermost part of the forest, a snow-white flying snow was intently gnawing on a mutant sugar cane that had just sprouted, its little head was eating one after another, and its two front paws were clutching the young shoots, eating very seriously.
There are a large number of mutated sugarcane, and no one has started to attack the small shoots that have just come out, and there are a lot of mutated sugarcane shoots left here. Xing Lu saw that Feixue liked it so much, and he had already harvested a lot anyway, so he simply gave up collecting mutated sugarcane and specifically looked for young shoots, so that he could keep them as snacks for Feixue in the future.
Her actions fell in Chu Yu's eyes, and the movements in his hands remained unchanged, but everywhere he passed, whether it was a ripe mutated sugar cane, or a young shoot that was not ripe but had just grown, it all disappeared.
"Brother Chu Yu, what are you doing cutting these young shoots that have not grown? You can't eat them, it's a waste of effort. Rocky, who didn't know why, reminded him.
"Too lazy to pick. Chu Yu's hand paused, and he replied casually, but Uncle Da, who had been following beside him, saw that the roots of his ears were red again. Turning around to find Xing Lu's figure, seeing her movements, Uncle Da had a plan in his heart, and he also learned from Chu Yu to cut off the inedible shoots.
This mutated sugarcane forest is very large, with more than 100 acres, and it took everyone more than two hours to cut down and collect all the mutated sugarcane that can be eaten. Everyone walked to the side of the highway to rest, and He Lei even announced that he would stop here at noon today and leave after lunch.
Xing Lu, on the other hand, spent an hour collecting mutated sugarcane, and spent the remaining more than an hour collecting sprouts. When everyone stopped to rest, she was still looking for the shoots that had not been cut down by everyone.
Although I didn't know what Xing Lu was for, everyone saw Xing Lu's movements, and several people came forward to help her collect the sprouts, regardless of her already tired body.
Fortunately, these young shoots have no ability to attack, so the speed of collection is fast, everyone works together, and after an hour, there is nothing left on this mutated sugarcane forest, only the one that Feixue is concentrating on gnawing.
"Alright, I've collected quite a few for you, let's go back first, greedy little one. Carefully cutting off the sprouts of the mutated sugarcane tree it was holding, Xing Lu picked up Feixue's round body because of the non-stop eating for several hours, and left the sugarcane field to rest on the side of the road.
