Chapter 24: Return to the capital
The next morning, Xie Cheng woke up. Fu Xin told him what Xie Yi had said to her the day before, Xie Yan nodded, got up and cleaned up with Fu Xin for a while.
After breakfast, Fu Xin and Xie Yan were still a little sad, but Xie Yi's expression was the same as always, he patted the shoulders of the two, and without saying much, he was ready to send the two out.
Fu Xin looked at Xie Yi reluctantly, suddenly thought of something, and said to Xie Yi with a flattering face: "Master, give us some rough stones of green soil and red clay for us to take away, otherwise I won't be able to train my mental power." Besides, I can help you refine some dirt. ”
Xie Yi glanced at Fu Xin, "I was going to let you take it away." In the mud room, a black box, go get it yourself. ”
"I know that Master, you are the best, you are really thoughtful!" Fu Xin smiled and pulled Xie Cheng towards the mud room.
After the two of them were all cleaned up, Xie Yi took the two out of the house and advised, "Follow me later, don't make a mistake." ”
The two nodded, and followed Xie Yi closely through a forest road where the formation was arranged, and they saw the forest when they came.
As the communicators of the two kept ringing, Fu Xin and Xie Cheng both knew that this was out of the signal loss area.
However, the two did not rush to look at the communicator, but turned around to say goodbye to Xie Yi.
Looking at the well-behaved and sad appearance of the two, Xie Yi was also a little reluctant, but he pretended to be indifferent, "What are you procrastinating!" The next holiday is coming again, so let's go. ”
After speaking, he took out two small packets of things from his pocket and handed them to the two of them, "This is beast repellent powder, you take it with you." Although there are not many dangerous animals in this forest, just in case. And with this animal repellent powder, you can also walk faster on the road. ”
The two took the animal repellent powder and reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Yi before leaving.
On the way back, the two discussed how to explain to everyone after they went back.
Although Xie Yi did not tell the two of them to keep him a secret, looking at his previous low-key way of doing things, it is estimated that he does not want to be disturbed by the outside world.
However, the news that they entered the forest to find the master must have spread long ago, and since they had disappeared for more than a month, there must have been a lot of speculation about what happened to them outside, especially the family members, who would definitely be more concerned about their adventures these days.
Indeed, they learned a lot from this opportunity. It's just that what should be said to make everyone feel that they have adventures but not seem very precious, so as to prevent everyone from disturbing Master's thoughts.
The training of mental power and bloodline genes must be concealed. Before the second-year practical class, the college will not test the student's blood genes again; As for Fu Xin's spiritual power, it was originally S-level, but now it has only recovered, and it can't be measured by the super S-level anyway.
It's just that the knowledge and techniques of clay cultivation and shaping that the two of them learned from Xie Yi have not been taught in the academy before, and if they are used in the future, it will cause everyone to be suspicious, so it is better to take the opportunity to say it.
"Actually, I think the knowledge taught by Master is more comprehensive and professional, and it should be popularized so that more people can learn it." Xie Yan thought for a long time and made suggestions.
Fu Xin nodded first after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, he still retorted: "However, I think that if you really want to promote it, you should still get the consent of the master." ”
Xie Yan also understood this truth, and nodded, "Then just talk about the matter of the seven-colored soil, how to operate it, let those who want to know study it themselves." ”
"Hmm!" Fu Xin felt that it was okay, since the master had openly asked them to take away these two kinds of rough stones, it meant that he didn't want to hide it in his heart.
Because of the animal repellent powder given by Xie Yi, the two of them went very smoothly all the way, and it took nearly half of the time less than when they came.
When I walked out of the forest, I saw that the landwalker that I had driven over was still parked outside.
Xie Yan and Fu Xin were immediately overjoyed, after all, the wild forest in the border city was so remote, and even public transportation was rarely accessible, if they didn't have their own transportation, the two would have to spend a lot of energy if they wanted to return to Xie smoothly.
Xie Cheng took out the landwalker switch pressed on the bottom from his backpack, opened the door, and the two of them boarded the landwalker one after another.
When Xie Cheng drove the lander through the gate of the Xie Energy and Mineral Mining Center, the doorman saw the lander, rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was not mistaken, and quickly dialed the communicator to inform the upper echelons of the Xie family.
Because the social research time had ended, I thought that Lu Jiayao and the others had already left, but when Xie Yan and Fu Xin returned to the dormitory, they found that Lu Jiayao was still in the dormitory.
"You're finally back!" Seeing Fu Xin and Xie Yan appear together, Lu Jiayao was very excited, quickly stepped forward and hugged Fu Xin, and then looked at her body to see if she was injured or anything.
Looking at Lu Jiayao's concerned appearance, Fu Xin was very moved, and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "We're back!" As he spoke, he also turned around, "I am not injured, I am not thin, I am not darkened, I am still the same person." ”
Looking at Fu Xin's playful appearance, Lu Jiayao finally laughed.
"Ah, I have to inform Fu Junlin, he's been waiting every day." Lu Jiayao said and dialed the communicator.
Not long after receiving the message, Fu Junlin rushed over, and he came in with Xie Yuan's father, Xie Qishen, who looked like a dusty man, obviously also hurried over after receiving the news.
They were also very excited when they saw Xie Cheng and Fu Xin coming back. After some inquiry, they offered to take the two of them back.
Both of them understood their family's worries, and they didn't say anything, packed their bags, and left with their respective families.
As for Lu Jiayao, who had been waiting for Fu Xin, after Fu Junlin thanked her, he directly bought her a ticket back to Water City.
Before leaving, Lu Jiayao specially instructed Fu Xin and Xie Cheng to let the two of them go back to rest at ease, "You don't have to worry about the research report, the three of us have finished writing it and submitted it to the academy."
Back in the capital, Fu Xin carried his luggage and honestly returned to Fu's house with Fu Junlin.
Seeing Fu Xin come back, Grandpa Fu was very happy, carefully looked at her body, and found that she was indeed unharmed, and even slightly fatter than before, before he completely relieved his heart.
"Your grandmother has also come to ask a few times, so you can go back to Watertown to see her in two days."
"That's what I'm going to do. I didn't expect to stay in the forest for so long this time, and now that I have only been away from school for a few days, it is time for me to hurry up and go back to spend time with my grandmother. In this case, I won't have time to be around you. ”
"It's okay, when school starts in the capital, I have time to accompany me." Grandpa Fu waved his hand, but he didn't seem to care, "But this time in the forest, what's going on?" I heard what Kusin said, what kind of master are you looking for? ”
"Yes!" Fu Xin opened his mouth and told Grandpa Fu about the encounter with a recreated person with special body data at the Xie Energy Mineral Mining Center, which triggered this move to find the master.
Regarding what he learned from Xie Yi, Fu Xin just said the relevant content of the seven-colored soil as he had discussed with Xie Yi at the beginning, and told Grandpa Fu that she had brought back the original stones of green soil and red soil from her master.
Hearing the seven-colored soil, a trace of surprise flashed on Grandpa Fu's face, and when he heard that Fu Xin came back with the original stones of green soil and red soil, he was even more excited, "Are you around?" Bring it to me. ”
As for the original stones that Xie Yi gave them, except for her and Xie Cheng who each took one piece each, the rest were brought to the capital by Xie Yi for safekeeping.
The two pieces that Fu Xin is carrying with him now are just to explain to Grandpa Fu.
Hearing Grandpa Fu's question, she quickly took out two stones from her backpack and handed them over.
"This is the green soil!" Grandpa Fu took the cyan stone and sighed, "Then this is red soil?" Looking at the white stone in his hand, Grandpa Fu asked.
"Yes."
"It turns out that these are real." Grandpa Fu carefully stroked the two stones and said slowly.
Since the beginning of the Fu family's self-reliance, they have established a handbook of soil kneading that has been passed down from generation to generation, and each patriarch has recorded the rumors and innovative methods of the soil kneading technique.
Among them, the first patriarch Fu Ruikun mentioned rumors of seven-colored soil, and has been committed to finding four functional soils.
Later, although the gold soil and rare earths were discovered by the Alliance Research Institute, the driving role of the Fu family in it cannot be ignored.
However, since the discovery of gold soil and rare earth more than 200 years ago, no other two kinds of soil have been found.
After a long time, everyone began to wonder if there were no such two kinds of soil at all, so they gradually gave up. Now it seems that I was looking in the wrong direction.
"Is there any mention of the use of the seven-colored earth in the Codex? Is it still the same way we do now, all mixed together? Hearing the existence of the Codex, Fu Xin was a little interested, wondering if he could use this Codex to spread the knowledge of the Seven Colors of Earth and the new method of cultivating mud.
"This is what your master taught again?" Grandpa Fu looked at Fu Xin.
Fu Xin mumbled.
Grandpa Fu raised his eyebrows, and he didn't break her, but replied, "Indeed!" It's just that the record is very vague. Roughly speaking, each functional soil can be used for shaping different parts, but how to do it is not explained. ”
"Then you and the institute don't study it?"
"At that time, there were no other two kinds of soil, and the rumors of the seven-colored soil were true or false, so how could they waste manpower on this vague operation method." Grandpa Fu shook his head and sighed.
"But," he said, taking the two stones that Fu Xin had brought back, "now that these two kinds of soil have appeared, the method of operation of functional soil can also be studied." ”
After speaking, he stared at Fu Xin's eyes and asked, "Xiao Xin, has your master taught you this?" ”
In the end, Jiang is still old and spicy, Grandpa Fu just guessed these from Fu Xin's words and facial expressions, poor Fu Xin obviously just made an appointment with Xie Yan to talk about the seven-colored soil, but now he has to say the method of raising mud.
"It's a little taught," Fu Xin raised his head, "but my master is a relatively low-key person......"
"I understand! I will say that it is recorded in the Fu Clan Patriarch's Soil Codex, and no one will disturb your master. Grandpa Fu interrupted Fu Xin's words and continued, "Moreover, I will announce it after you have obtained your master's consent." However, you also understand that this is related to the improvement of the technology of the entire soil industry, which is the welfare of the whole society, not the interests of one person. So, talk to your master well, and no matter what, I will eventually respect your decision. ”
"Oh~" Hearing Grandpa Fu's assurance, Fu Xin put his mind at ease, thinking that he hadn't told Grandpa Fu about his mental power yet, so he hurriedly mentioned it.
Hearing that Fu Xin's spiritual power level was S-level, Grandpa Fu was shocked for a moment, and then patted Fu Xin's shoulder heavily, laughing loudly: "Okay! Good! But we can't let up in the future! ”
That night, Fu Xin sent a message to Xie Yi, conveying Grandpa Fu's meaning.
As for when Xie Yi will be able to reply to her, Fu Xin and Grandpa Fu can only wait.
is different from Fu Xin's state when he returns home, Xie Cheng returns home, and he is served with a good meal and drink. Although he obviously gained a few pounds, in the eyes of Father Xie, he came back from suffering, and he had to make up for it.
For the master he worshipped in the forest, Father Xie just asked curiously, and heard Xie Yan say that Xie Yi still cooks for them every day, and praised this master for being authentic, and he will thank others next time he has the opportunity.
As for what Xie Cheng learned from Xie Yi, Father Xie didn't care. After all, the Xie family is a business family, and they don't know much about the art of soil cutting, although there is a genius like Xie Yuan, but they just want to try their best to cultivate him, and they don't expect to enter the soil industry.
In fact, when Xie Cheng followed Father Xie back to Xie's house, he had already remembered that Xie Yi had said that he was a congenital bloodline, and it would not be a matter of Father Xie's child, but at this time, looking at Father Xie's eyes full of distress and genuine concern, Xie Yuan's questioning that had already reached his mouth was contained.
He thought about it, and finally decided to investigate it secretly himself.
Fu Xin stayed at Fu's house for another day, and when she saw that Xie Yi didn't respond for a long time, she proposed to go back to Shuicheng to see her grandmother first, and when Xie Yi agreed, she would tell Grandpa Fu.
On the day of returning to the water city, Fu Xin refused Fu Junlin's request to send her, and the reason given was that the holiday was about to end, and she wanted to seize all the time she could to get along with her boyfriend, so she wanted Xie Cheng to send her.
In this regard, Fu Junlin angrily accused Fu Xin of being inhumane of the opposite sex, and wasting his feelings of staying in the border city and waiting for her news.
However, when Xie Cheng drove the aircraft to send Fu Xin to Shuicheng, he proposed: He has not been to Shuicheng yet, and school will start in five days anyway, so it is better to stay for a few days, and then take Fu Xin back to the capital together. Of course, if Fu Xin didn't have time to accompany him, he could also walk around Water City by himself.
Seeing that Xie Cheng had made up his mind not to leave, Fu Xin was helpless, although he agreed in his heart, he still felt that he had to give him a little punishment for his own assertions, so he got off the flying machine first, and did not promise him or care about him.
When Xie Yan saw Fu Xin's silent appearance, he knew that she had actually agreed, and showed a triumphant smile.
He parked the flying machine, hurriedly caught up with Fu Xin, took her hand, and the two walked side by side towards his grandmother's house.
