Section 308: Ripening

"Okay, okay, I just went to the company's headquarters to do an appraisal, which is equivalent to participating in an assessment, and it's not a big disaster, how can I do it like the rest of my life after the catastrophe." Just after Qu Zhiru threw herself into Zhang Su's arms, Zhang Su patted Qu Zhiru's little brain melon with relief and comforted her.

"But I heard that Sister Lanwen and Sister Zitong both said that it is very likely that you will not be able to come back to the headquarters of that company this time, so I am worried that I will not be able to see Brother Zhang Wei in the future." Just after Zhang Su comforted her, Qu Zhiru let go of the arm that hugged Zhang Su and said pitifully to Zhang Su.

"It turns out that it's because of this, haha, what they said is just a possibility, but after my efforts, that possibility has become impossible, I will serve in the branch here in Qicheng in the future, and I won't go to other places." Zhang Su smiled and patted Qu Zhiru's little head twice again.

"Since Brother Zhang Su is not leaving, then I will make a good meal for Brother Zhang Wei, and I will go cook first." After confirming that Zhang Su would not leave again, Qu Zhiru smiled again, left in front of Zhang Su, and while talking, she ran to the kitchen with the two bags of ingredients she bought, and started cooking on the fire in Zhang Su's small kitchen.

"Zhiru said that she knew the ingredients I went to prepare when I came back, it seems that you already know that I am coming back?" After Qu Zhiru ran to the kitchen, Zhang Su turned his eyes to the blue stripe again and asked.

"Well, Pu Zitong called before, saying that you would return to Qicheng soon, so Qu Zhiru went down to buy vegetables in advance, ready to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, in fact, after you left, Qu Zhiru and I lived with you most of the time, and it can be regarded as helping you take care of the home." After Zhang Su asked, Lan Wen didn't change his clothes, so he opened the curtains again in the gauzy underwear, bathed in the sunlight shining in from outside, and replied.

"That's it, the caretaker ......, this word doesn't seem to be so accurate, you and Zhiru are not dog ......, but I still thank you for taking care of Zhiru during the time I left, I can feel it, Zhiru has a soul power in her body that is suppressing the changes in her soul and preventing the loss of soul power in her soul body, it should be that you are helping her suppress her half-soul body for me, so that she can spend nearly a month in peace, thank you." Seeing that Blue Stripe opened the curtain again, Zhang Su no longer cared about Murray's dress, and thanked Murray.

"What's so thankful for this, this is a deal you made with me before you left, okay, Sister Zhiru helped me cultivate the Soul Birth Wood and taught me the principles of being a human being, and in exchange, I naturally want to ensure the safety of her soul, so I will help her, and it won't cost me much soul power, this is called: 'Why not?' Right. After Zhang Su thanked him, Blue Stripe shook it and responded with a colloquial saying that he didn't know who to learn from.

"She doesn't just seem to have taught you the rules of being a human being, she seems to have taught you some weird human language, well, it's a little bit interesting, so, how is the Soul Tree now?" Just after the blue stripe answered, Zhang Su glanced at Qu Zhiru, who was cooking seriously in the kitchen, with a wry smile, whispered to the blue stripe, and then asked.

"The soul tree is next to the window against the wall, it was cultivated for a period of time before you left, and after you left, it didn't take long for the leaves to bloom, except for Qu Zhiru to regularly repot, water, and change the soil of this wood according to my instructions, most of the time it can absorb the soul dust in the air to supplement the material and nutrients, so it doesn't need special care." After Zhang Su asked, Lan Wen pointed to a large flower pot by the window and said to Zhang Wei.

"Well, according to what you said before, as long as the leaves of this soul birth tree bloom, there is no need to change the soil and water those soul liquids, but it is more resistant to survival, and it is much more convenient, not bad, the matter of the birth soul fruit is just around the corner, a year is right, it should not be far away." Zhang Wei looked at the Soul Tree that had been replaced in a large flower pot and nodded with satisfaction.

"Actually, I got a method from Grandma Hua Linglu to ripen the soul wood in advance, maybe I can ...... faster" Just after Zhang Su nodded, Blue Stripe seemed to have some thoughts, and said a little hesitant at Zhang Su.

"Ripening? How to ripen? No, do you want to ......" Zhang asked suspiciously, but after asking, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and seemed to regret what he asked, and his eyelids jumped.

"Since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy, according to the method told by Grandma Hua Linglu, although the soul tree can absorb and solidify the soul dust during the growth process, it will grow slowly because it does not have the ability to attract and gather soul dust, so it will grow slowly, and as long as there are some soul materials that can attract soul dust but refine slowly, it can be accompanied by it, it can speed up its growth, that is, ripening, and its ripening speed is directly proportional to the speed at which the ripening thing attracts soul dust, so Brother Zhang ......, As long as you help others find a soul material that can ripen the soul wood and plant it aside, they will be able to eat the fruit on it faster......" Just when Zhang Su's eyelids moved, sure enough, Blue Pattern took the opportunity to make a request to Zhang Su, but when the request, Blue Pattern was no longer as strong as before, but suddenly his temperament changed greatly, and he learned to be a little girl and coquettish to Zhang Su, and Zhang Su's body was numb for a while.

"Bluevein, are you really blue? Who did you learn this from......" Zhang Su, who was numb in his body, looked at the blue veins and suddenly pretended to be coquettish, frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Qu Zhiru, who was cooking in the kitchen, and asked.

"When Zhiru and I were watching TV, weren't all the women in it asking for others like this? Zhiru said that it would be more useful for a woman to be coquettish when she asked someone for help, so I tried this human woman-like skeleton, but it didn't seem to be of much use. After Zhang Su asked, the blue stripe put away her coquettish posture, and returned to a cold appearance again, frowning as if she was a little puzzled.

"Zhiru won't take you to watch cartoons and Korean dramas at home...... this Zhiru ......, forget it, don't do this anymore, as compensation for my absence during this time without keeping my promise to help you take care of the soul wood, I will help you find the soul materials that ripen the soul wood, but I don't know what kind of soul materials and souls you are talking about, you have to give me a few clear references." After listening to Lanwen's words, Zhang Su couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that it was really Qu Zhiru's teaching, and after a wry smile, he remembered Lanwen's kindness to help take care of Qu Zhiru, Zhang Su did not refuse Lanwen's request, nodded and agreed.

"Haha, Qu Zhiru is really right, human women can really get what they want as soon as they are coquettish." Seeing that Zhang Su agreed, Lan Wen laughed happily and said thoughtfully.

"You're enough, it's not that reason at all, don't be spoiled by Qu Zhiru...... forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about what soul materials can ripen the soul wood, I'll help you find it, if it's too precious, I can't guarantee that I can find it." Zhang Su quickly interrupted the misunderstanding of the blue stripe and changed the topic and asked.

Hearing Zhang Su's question, the blue vein was silent for a moment, as if he was retrieving memories related to ripening in his spiritual sense, but after a while, as if he couldn't remember anything, he went out of his body, and his soul returned to the blue cat body curled up on Zhang Su's bed, and took out a folded piece of paper from the storage bell hanging from the cat's neck, like bamboo paper made by ancient technology, after unfolding the folding paper, Zhang Su saw all kinds of plant portraits on it, and under the portrait, there were some pictographic text marks.

"That's it." The blue stripe of the cat's body pointed at the leaf on the picture with its clean cat's paws.

"How do you make me understand this ......?" Zhang Su looked at the portrait on the paper and asked with a frown.

"Can't you even understand that? Isn't there a text mark underneath this? After Zhang Su asked, Blue Stripe seemed puzzled.

"Blue, are those the words we have now? It is said that the hieroglyphs are all praises of it, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is no different from the oracle bone inscriptions, these words are more difficult to recognize than those paintings, how can you tell me to distinguish them......" Zhang Su looked at those ancient words, and replied helplessly.

"These words are the words that circulate between ancient creatures, they are easy to recognize, for example, this is the chestnut moss, this is the Qingyuan flower, this is the golden grass, this is the Youxiang Valley, look at the image of these words is very similar to the picture above, and the current text of your human beings is also roughly similar, can't you recognize it?" After Zhang Su responded, the blue stripe seemed to look at Zhang Su even more puzzled, as if the strange words in Zhang Su's eyes were not very difficult to read in his eyes, and said to Zhang Su.

"The oracle bone script is the script that circulated between all the creatures of antiquity? Could it be that it is not only a human-only text, but only in this way can it be explained why a soul cat like you can also read and write. After Lan Wen asked, Zhang Su's eyes widened and he looked at the strange words on the bamboo paper and the portrait on it, as if he understood something.

"How? Can you read the text now? Can you find any of these ripening things? Seeing Zhang Su staring at the words on the bamboo paper seriously, Lan Wen thought that Zhang Su understood those ancient pictorial fonts, and asked Zhang Su.

"You Xianggu, you ......don't have to look for it, I have a thing painted here, but I want to know, from the perspective of your soul beasts, what will these words look like?" After Blue Stripe finished asking, Zhang Su raised his hand and took out a few seeds from the storage ring and threw them to Blue Stripe, and then turned his head and asked Blue Stripe.
