Ye Xiaoye didn't notice her expression at all, but looked over and over at the branch of the so-called "coal tree" in his hand, and understood the origin of its name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This thing, if developed properly, can completely replace oil and gas and the like and become a new energy source, right?"

Such a thought suddenly rose in his heart, and when he asked Ling Li, he got the same answer, which was also not able to be popularized on a large scale, and it still needed to be improved.

There was one plant left, short and thick, that looked like a pot-bellied general. Ling Li said that the plant has a lot of sap in the body, which can not only quench thirst, but also replenish a certain amount of energy. It is the least abundant of the three plants and the most difficult to grow.

Ye Xiaoye was about to take a look, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a man with gold-rimmed glasses, walking towards the two of them with a dissatisfied face.

"How many times have I stressed it, non-researchers, forbidden to come here! First of all! This is not a scenic spot, and secondly! We need a quiet research environment. Ling Li, what should you do if you fight and kill all day long and don't know anything, and clumsily ruin all the treasures I have here? And you, yes, that's you! ”

He frowned tightly, walked to Ye Xiaoye's side, stretched out two fingers and pinched a strip of rag on Ye Xiaoye's body, his face was full of disgust: "My body is so dirty, what if I infect my treasures with any bacteria?" ”

The corners of Ling Li's mouth twitched, as if she was a little afraid of this man, and surprisingly did not act as spicy as she did just now. She swallowed hard and looked at Ye Xiaoye with a worried face.

With this master's character who is going to kill if he doesn't agree with him, what will happen next?

Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Xiaoye's brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be some unhappiness in his eyes.

Ling Li hurriedly took a deep breath, ran to the two of them with a cigarette, reached out and slapped the palm of the gold-rimmed glasses, and pushed him out.

"That...... You go around by yourself first, I'm looking for him for something, let's go first......" She hurriedly turned around and said to Ye Xiaoye, for fear that Ye Xiaoye would break out and hurt people.

"Hey, Ling Li, what are you doing here? I told you I could have a temper, and I ...... if you do this again."

The gold-rimmed glasses just wanted to resist, but suddenly heard Ling Li scolding the fool angrily in her ear, and then a strong force came from her waist, and before she could resist, she carried it on her shoulders and ran towards the accommodation area quickly.

Ye Xiaoye gently tugged at the corners of his mouth and touched his nose helplessly.

"Am I that scary......"

However, a smile welled up in his heart, he had been in the underground world for a long time, and he had not seen such a lively scene for a long time. It can be seen that the woman named Ling Li and the gold-rimmed glasses seem to be incompatible on the surface, but they care about each other very much.

Such a tsundere, you will regret it later.

He shook his head slightly, and walked towards the pot-bellied general-like tree, thinking about what was going to happen as he went.

In fact, now he is a little nervous, and the so-called hometown is more timid, probably so. I left alone silently before, but now I don't know what will happen when I see Mao Mao Lu Sisi and them again.

Zuo Fan came back with him, if this kid was quick enough, they should already know the news of their return by now, right?

"What a hassle......

Ye Xiaoye rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and pressed one hand on the "pot-bellied general tree", a little distracted.

Suddenly, a sneering sound sounded faintly, as if someone was holding a straw in his mouth and sucking the drink.

Ye Xiaoye's heart jumped slightly, when he used his mental power to scan this place just now, it was obvious that no one found it.

So what's going on?

His ears twitched slightly, and he quickly locked in one direction, holding his breath, and little by little he approached there.

Soon, he locked onto a tree, and it was from behind it that the sound became clearer as he approached.

"Who?"

Suddenly, he leaped forward and appeared directly behind the tree, with a thunderous sound.

"Ahh

A childish scream suddenly sounded, followed by a series of coughs, as if choked.

"One...... A little boy with a particularly big head? ”

Ye Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and his gaze swept over the little boy in front of him who was coughing violently with a red face. His head is a little bigger than a normal child, or it may be because his body is too thin, in short, it looks a little out of proportion.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I can't, I don't dare anymore, please forgive me this time......"

The little boy swooped forward, hugged Ye Xiaoye's legs, trembling and begging for mercy.

Suddenly, he looked up at Ye Xiaoye and was slightly stunned.

"Are you...... Uncle Ye Xiaoye? ”

This time, it was Ye Xiaoye's turn to be stunned.

"You know me?"

He raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity, as he helped the little boy up and gently rubbed his head to tell him not to be nervous.

He could feel that there was no danger in this child, so he didn't need to be too guarded. And for children, he has never been as indifferent as he treats others.

"Maomao told me!"

The little boy straightened his chest, wiped a handful of tree juice from the corner of his mouth, and said with bright eyes: "She showed me the image of Uncle Ye, it's amazing!" Uncle Ye, you have always been my idol!! ”

The corner of Ye Xiaoye's mouth tugged slightly, flicked it on the little boy's head, and corrected: "Call brother." ”

Then he asked, "I didn't leave any pictures for her, how did you see that?" ”

"I can...... I can see from her head, with mine, with my ......" The little boy slurred a little.

"With your powers?"

Ye Xiaoye's heart moved, could it be that this child's ability is mind reading? And being able to hide his existence so perfectly just now is obviously not as simple as mind reading. He wanted to ask deeply, but after all, he was a child, and the little boy himself didn't know what his abilities were.

Ye Xiaoye thought for a while, and then asked, "Then can you see the image in my mind?" ”

"Can't...... Uncle Ye ...... Brother Ye, you are much better than me......"

A faint look flashed on the little boy's face, and he quickly shook his head, "I never secretly look at the images in other people's minds, and the time I looked at Maomao, it was also with her consent......"

Ye Xiaoye smiled lightly: "You are a good boy, now go and take your brother to see Maomao, okay?" ”

A flash of joy appeared on the little boy's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Maomao and I got angry, she said she didn't want to see me......"

The corners of Ye Xiaoye's mouth hooked up a smile again, "Brother helped you reconcile with her, how about it?" ”

"Really? That's great! ”

The boy's eyes lit up and he scurried out of the woods.

Ye Xiaoye took a deep breath and followed behind him without landing a single step.
