Chapter 43: The World of the Heart
Qinghu Village is a village built on the mountainside, not far from the place where these people are waiting, and it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Chi Hua and the others had to abandon the car and walk when they reached the foot of the mountain. Not far up the mountain, a group of people hurried down. Among them was a man with a small but sturdy axle, and the man hugged his fist to Chi Hua and the others from a distance, and said, "It's too late to greet you." ”
The person who came was Bi Xinghuo, the owner of this Qinghu Village, and a few people just said a few words, and Bi Xinghuo led everyone all the way to the cottage.
Although Bi Xinghuo didn't talk much all the way, he was enthusiastic from the inside out, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, which made it difficult to raise his guard. In the middle, Chi Hua glanced at Qiu Ying, Qiu Ying nodded gently, and Chi Hua was even more relieved, it seems that this Qinghu Village is really taking refuge.
After arriving at the cottage built halfway up the mountain, Chi Hua knew the thoughts of Britney and Bi Xinghuo even better.
Qinghu Village is not big, and the gate is built on the mountain road. There are about 30 wooden houses on the mountainside behind the walled gate, and the cottage can accommodate two or three hundred people according to this scale, and the cliff is even steeper and uninhabitable.
Small camps of this size abound in the post-apocalyptic human world, and it is no wonder that Britney Spears dislikes Qinghu Village and lets them go directly to Phoenix, and it is no wonder that Bi Xinghuo is so enthusiastic. In his eyes, a city as large as Doomsday Phoenix is already an unattainable existence, and it is a great opportunity to be able to join Phoenix. What's more, under his heart, he has also heard a lot about Phoenix's achievements in the past month, which makes him even more in awe.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Chi Hua planned to eat a meal and then got up to say goodbye, and then left a letter and asked them to go directly to Song Yu, and asked Song Yu to find a subsidiary camp to settle these people.
Bi Xinghuo took out the best food on the mountain, and was personally accompanied by Bi Xinghuo and another evolutionary from Qinghu Village. There are only a few plates of pheasants, hares and other wild meat on the table, and a few wild vegetables that are born in season, and it seems that life in the mountains is indeed difficult.
Bi Xinghuo apologized again and again, saying that he couldn't find even a bottle of wine in the cottage. Chi Hua came in turn to comfort Bi Xinghuo that he didn't have to mind, it was not easy to survive in this last world.
Chi Hua had no intention of staying for a long time, and the two sides met for the first time, there was not much to talk about at the dinner table, and lunch ended quickly. Just as Chi Hua was about to get up to say goodbye, Bi Xinghuo asked people to bring a plate of after-dinner fruits, including strawberries, grapes, watermelons, lychees and so on.
In the last days when they can't even eat, how many people haven't seen fresh fruit for more than a year. Others were still concerned about the image, Li Xiaofei was the first to reach out and grab the fruit on the plate, and Gao Yiming stretched out his hand after Li Xiaofei.
Chi Hua and Yi Fengleng didn't move, and the others in Phoenix City didn't dare to move.
Bi Xinghuo enthusiastically accommodated on the side, "Everyone eats, don't be polite." ”
Chi Hua glanced at Yi Fengleng and found that Yi Fengleng was also looking at him with the same shocked eyes. Li Xiaofei only saw the food, but the two of them saw the strangeness from it, the few plates of fruits on the table were not seasonal fruits, not even produced in one season, some of them were simply fruits produced in the south, if it was said that it was understood before the end of the world when transportation was extremely developed, but in the last days when transportation was cut off, in this small Qinghu Village, where did they get these fruits?
"Master Bizhai, I don't know how you got these fruits?" Chi Hua asked directly.
"There is an evolutionary named Lin Jiamu in my village, his ability is useless in battle, but he can quickly spawn plants." Bi Xinghuo's tone was quite complacent, and this was also the only capital that he could show off in Qinghu Village.
"Oh? Where is this evolutionary? Can you let us meet him? Chi Hua immediately became interested.
"Naturally, there is no problem for a few city lords to meet each other, so I'll ask someone to let him come over." Bi Xinghuo agreed very happily.
After a short time, a middle-aged man slowly moved in from outside the door, the man was wearing a gray cloth gown, slightly hunchbacked, pale, dark skin, deep-set eye sockets, and a pair of eyes that were dull. If Bi Xinghuo hadn't said that he was an evolutionary before, anyone would have thought that this person was a sick local farmer.
Lin Jiamu saluted Chi Hua and the others with difficulty, and Chi Hua hurriedly arranged for Lin Jiamu to sit down and asked people to pour water for him. Chi Hua knew that this was a manifestation of extreme physical weakness, and he had seen the same situation on Yang Hong's whole body back then.
After Lin Jiamu took a breath, Chi Hua asked softly, "Are these fruits quickly spawned by you with your abilities?" ”
Lin Jiamu didn't have the strength to reply, just nodded lightly.
"Can you give us another demonstration on site?"
After waiting for a while, Lin Jiamu said with difficulty: "Can you let me rest for a while?" ”
Chi Hua nodded, everyone was not in a hurry, so they chatted casually on the side, while Lin Jiamu directly closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
After about half an hour, Lin Jiamu opened his eyes and saw that his complexion had recovered a little. Lin Jiamu nodded to Bi Xinghuo, and Bi Xinghuo, who had been prepared, brought in a flower pot from outside, and there was about two-thirds of the soil in the pot.
Everyone in Phoenix City was curious, and they all gathered around.
I saw Lin Jiamu take out a seed from his pocket and bury it in the soil of the flower pot about a finger deep.
Lin Jiamu put his palm on the top of the flower pot, and after a few seconds, a small green seedling arched out of the soil, and the seedling grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing a long vine, and a piece of green leaves grew on the vine, and a flower bone grew between the branches and leaves, and the flower bone grew bigger and bloomed little by little, and a pink morning glory bloomed delicately in front of people's eyes.
Everyone exclaimed, and Lin Jiamu's forehead was covered with sweat.
Lin Jiamu continued to urge the ability, and the morning glory was gone, revealing the full husk below, the husk bloomed, and the flower seeds fell into the pot.
In an instant, it was beautiful. In just two or three minutes, people witnessed the whole process of germination, growth, leaf growth, flowering, and fruiting of a flower seed, as if it was a lifetime of life, coming from dust and returning to dust.
And Lin Jiamu, who controlled the whole process of a plant from birth to death like a god, slumped on the chair like a dying man at this time, and would have slipped to the ground if it weren't for someone helping him.
"With him, there is no shortage of food in your cottage!" Li Xiaofei couldn't help but exclaim.
Chi Hua couldn't help but knock Li Xiaofei's head again, "Conservation of energy!" He can use his ability to quickly ripen food and fruit, but he needs food to replenish his ability consumption, and if you look at Lin Jiamu's current appearance, it is the consequence of the ability consumption being greater than the food supplement. ”
Bi Xinghuo nodded with a wry smile on the side, Chi Hua saw through the key at a glance, if Lin Jiamu's ability really had the same effect as Xiao Fei said, how could their camp be as difficult as it is now.
Chi Hua turned his head to look at Yi Fengleng, "It's a bit similar to Britney's ability?" ”
Yi Fengleng was holding his chin thoughtfully, and shook his head gently, "He can only give birth but can't control it." Then he nodded lightly at Chi Hua.
Chi Hua understood what Yi Fengleng meant, and said to Bi Xinghuo with a smile: "I am very interested in Lin Jiamu's ability, I want to take him away, I don't know if Bi Zhai Lord agrees." ”
Bi Xinghuo glanced at Lin Jiamu, who was slumped in the chair, with a look of embarrassment.
Chi Hua smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Bizhai, I will definitely treat Lin Jiamu well, and I just hope to eat fresh fruits at any time by taking him with me, and in addition, all of you in Qinghu Village can become residents of my Phoenix City, and you can also see Lin Jiamu at any time in Phoenix City in the future." ”
Bi Xinghuo's face suddenly turned overjoyed, he naturally knew the treatment of the residents of Phoenix City, and Chi Hua promised to treat Lin Jiamu well, and immediately nodded in agreement. In Bi Xinghuo's opinion, although Lin Jiamu's ability is rare, it is useless in battle, and he really believes that Chi Hua is just to be able to eat fresh fruits from time to time.
Chi Hua gently patted Lin Jiamu's shoulder and stuffed an evolutionary crystal nucleus into his mouth. The ability dissolved in Lin Jiamu's body, and his face immediately became ruddy, and his eyes regained their brightness, and he stood up from his chair at once.
"Thank you for the importance of City Lord Chi, I am willing to follow you." Lin Jiamu naturally understands the value of an evolutionary crystal nucleus, which is enough to produce a new evolutionary crystal nucleus, and the other party can easily give it to himself, no matter what the other party values about himself, the price paid by the other party is also worth following.
This small episode made both parties very satisfied, Bi Xinghuo sent Chi Hua and the others to the foot of the mountain before returning, ready to pack up their things and go to Phoenix City.
Chi Hua and the others continued westward towards Guangming City.
Along the way, Lin Jiamu was not arranged to do anything, and he lay down in the truck to sleep every day when he was full, and his physical condition improved greatly in just two days.
On this day, when he stopped for dinner, Lin Jiamu took the initiative to ripen a watermelon and hugged it for everyone, Li Xiaofei happily took it, who knew that Chi Hua just nodded lightly, and then said with a serious face: "Jiamu will not have our special instructions in the future, you don't have to take the initiative to spend your ability to ripen the fruit, I didn't let you do this by taking you out with Feng Leng." ”
"Ahh Lin Jiamu was stunned for a moment, "I also want to do something for everyone, but that's all I can do?" ”
Chi Hua chuckled, "Do you really think that we let you follow you just to eat fruit?" You underestimate your own abilities, the cold and radiation of the last days have greatly reduced the production of many grains, including barley, and too many humans have died of hunger. What we really want you to do is use your abilities to breed food and fruits that are more suitable for the apocalyptic environment, and your abilities should be used for the benefit of humanity as a whole! ”
Yi Fengleng continued with Chi Hua's words: "Look at the radiation clouds above, it blocks most of the sunlight above our heads, which poses a serious threat to the survival of human beings, but when it falls one day, the radiation dust it carries is even more deadly to human beings. We don't have a way to completely eliminate nuclear radiation, but we can find ways to increase the strength of the human body's resistance to radiation, so we hope that you can give birth to more radiation-resistant foods, which can reduce the damage of isotopes and rays to the immune function of the human organism, and if possible, we even fantasize that you can find plants that directly absorb nuclear radiation. We have ruined this earth to a pulp, but someone must stand up and clean it up and restore the world as it is, even if there is only a glimmer of hope! ”
Lin Jiamu was stunned for a while, tears couldn't stop coming from the corners of his eyes, and the two young people in front of him pretended to be the whole world in their hearts!
