Chapter 29: Happy Birthday
"Huh?" Chen Ye's eyelids jumped and asked. "What color?"
"The Great Chief." The child looked stunned and hurried to respond. "It's similar to the earthy color around it, but it looks a little redder."
"You don't need to call me the big leader, didn't you say it, Brother Chen, Brother Ye." Chen Ye smiled casually, and then thought about it. "Isn't this hematite you're talking about?"
"I didn't expect that there is also hematite here, and in industry, this is the iron ore with the highest utilization rate for ironmaking." Chen Ye muttered to himself, and then asked Xiao Li Rong to leave first, and said to Hu Jiu. "It's a hard material, of course, it needs to be refined, but I haven't learned the method yet, I'm optimistic about that piece of ore, and the next time I come back, I'll bring back the method of refining iron ore, and then we'll have a stronger weapon than stone."
"Oh yes." Chen Ye suddenly thought. "Hu Jiu, do you remember the first time we met, the kind of weapon I used called a kitchen knife? When we refine iron ore, we can make it, even better than that. ”
"Kitchen knives!" Fox Jiu's eyes lit up, he naturally remembered clearly, a kitchen knife back then, directly slaughtered a bear village, the shock is still in his mind, although the few that he saw later were only used to cut trees, and cut branches, scrape fish scales, at this time have long been rusted to death, can no longer be used, but the desire for kitchen knives, but the desire for kitchen knives, but has not stopped for a moment.
Chen Ye looked at the mud walls that were being built around him, and a group of children in linen clothes were piling on them with their mud-stained hands, and there were several familiar figures among them.
"It's time to go back." Chen Ye took a deep breath.
Decade.
Living until now, even if you add the current world, you have only spent more than forty years, and for Chen Ye at this time, ten years is already a long number.
Every grass and tree around, every figure, has long been engraved in my mind.
But if he stays here, getting older, it will make him completely miss the opportunity to meet again in the future, exhale this breath, and Chen Ye will say goodbye to Hu Jiu and Wu Haoyu.
In the eyes of the children who were working, they chose to go back.
"Xiaolan, you say...... What exactly does a tertiary planet look like? Chen Ye looked at the crowd wearing hard hats around him, and knew that he had returned to the Donghuayuan community at this time, and at this time, the construction workers were busy on the ruins under the engineering lights, cleaning up the wreckage.
The sentence that Hu Jiu had said echoed in his mind. "I will take care of Haoyu and assist him to establish this era."
"At present, the specific information has not been entered, I only know that the spiritual power contained in the third-level planet can increase the original lifespan, and even the spiritual power of different attributes, and can also make the species produce a higher level of evolution." A voice came from the tape recorder.
"Is life increasing...... That's enough. Chen Ye ignored the stunned eyes beside him and walked out of the community to take a taxi.
"Brother, why didn't you see you for a few days?" A voice came from the front row.
"Huh?" Chen Ye saw that it was actually the taxi driver who delivered couriers and pulled goods and had stories before, and couldn't help laughing. "It's really a coincidence, it seems that in the dark, you and I are destined."
"There's a fate.,I pulled you ten days ago.,I'm running here.,Familiar regulars are.,Anyway,Wearing primitive clothes.,You're playing cosplay.。 The taxi driver said with a big grin.
Chen Ye smiled, noncommittal, for him, it was the first time in a few months that he had taken a taxi, and most of them had met this driver, which was not fate.
I was wondering if I should wait for this driver to die and reincarnate him into my own civilization.
As the driver lifted the meter, ten minutes had passed, and his rental house had arrived.
After leaving his contact information and promising to pay for the next meeting, he got out of the car.
The tape recorder couldn't read the time, looked at the moonlight, and estimated the appearance of eight o'clock, Chen Ye walked up to the second floor, and when he was about to knock on the door, he heard a voice from inside the house.
View from the window.
I saw Xu Jing and Chen Xi sitting on the sofa, the unicorn lying next to the coffee table, and in front of them, there was a sixteen-inch cake with a circle of cream on it, which was particularly attractive under the light.
"Little Mommy, Mommy! I'm going to eat! Chen Xi held a plastic fork in his hand and called happily.
"Haha, wait, make a wish first." Xu Jing also smiled, put a few candles on them, lit them with a lighter, and then walked to the door, ready to turn off the lights.
But it happened to be opposite to Chen Ye in the window next to him.
Chen Ye knew that his beard was disheveled at this time, and his linen clothes were covered with dust, but ...... XU Jing. It seemed that he had been staring for a long time, and there was a clumsy voice from the coffee table.
"Mom? What's wrong? ”
"It's okay, your unreliable dad has come back from scavenging." Xu Jing said angrily, and then felt that it seemed that it was a little wrong to say this to Chen Ye's daughter, so she turned her head and closed the curtains and continued. "Sorry, can you go back to the bedroom first, wait for your mother to make a magic trick for you."
As the door opened, Chen Ye looked at Xu Jing in front of him, who had her hair coiled on her shoulders, with a gentle gaze.
"Long time no see."
"It's been a long time since I saw a fart! Just ten days, just ten days and you're like this again, what about the leather jacket I bought you? I don't think you're on a business trip, you're picking up rags, right? Xu Jing lowered her voice and blamed.
"Hey, I'm doing something big." Chen Ye smiled, walked into the house, picked up a short-sleeved shirt from the hanger, and walked into the bathroom.
When the door was closed, I only heard Xu Jing continue to speak. "It's a big deal, picking up the rags is a big deal, so can I still save the world? Also, it's winter today, what are you doing with short sleeves? Tomorrow go out with me to buy clothes and ......"
Chen Ye closed the door, looked at himself in the mirror, took out a razor and scraped it, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. "Still so nagging." Although he said this, Chen Ye enjoyed listening to the much smaller voice.
After taking a shower, he changed into short-sleeved shorts, and together with Xu Jing, he sang a happy birthday song to Xixi.
Although he was pleasantly surprised by Chen Ye's return, there was no such thing as Chen Ye's imaginary hug, which also made Chen Ye sigh that he forgot his father when he had a little mother......
Of course, Chen Ye automatically put aside the things that he didn't take care of for a few days, and they were all handed over to Xu Jing to take care of.
At night, when Xu Jing entered the bedroom with Xi Xi, who was already asleep on the sofa, Chen Ye opened the door in short-sleeved shorts.
Feeling the cold wind outside, there is indeed not much cold on the body.
This is the advantage of being physically strong, at least in the winter of that world, everyone, including children, only wears a linen dress to survive the winter, and even if they go out of the cave, they never add more clothes.
Looking at the tall buildings in the distance, exuding neon brilliance at night, Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh that this place was like a greenhouse, with heating inside and clothes outside the house.
"Sooner or later, Kaiyuan civilization will also reach such a point." Chen Ye's eyes were firm and he looked into the distance.
And in the room behind him, the sudden sound of footsteps broke the contemplation.
When she turned around, she saw Xu Jing holding a leftover cake in one hand and the flame of the candle on it in the other, and said to Chen Ye with a smile. "Happy birthday."
