Chapter 11: New Neighbors
Wei Heng had already walked to the farming machine, planning to harvest these sweet potato vines in the field.
Gu Xi's heart moved, and he deliberately asked him to leave a few plants.
Wei Heng asked a little puzzled: "Why are you staying here?" β
Gu Xi thought about things in his heart, and said casually, "Didn't you say that these sweet potato leaves can be eaten as vegetables?" β
Wei Heng thought about it, this is the truth, so he deliberately left the best-growing plants.
As for the remaining sweet potato vines, will they continue to mutate? Then only God knows......
After finishing the work in the sweet potato field, Wei Heng saw that it was still early, and was about to clean up the nearby land.
When he turned around, he saw Gu Xi squatting on the ground in a daze.
He thought for a while and walked over: "Gu Xi, it's still early at this time, otherwise, you go outside to pick some wild flowers and come back, and I'll pinch a vase for you when you go back......"
The house in the container lane is still too simple, and it should be better to decorate it with flowers.
Gu Xi got up and patted the grass clippings under his buttocks, and glanced at him: "You are quite life-like...... but aesthetics may be a bit problematic.
"yes." Wei Heng said proudly: "The house I cleaned up for you is not bad." β
Gu Xi glanced at him, didn't speak, and walked towards the mountain forest with his big cloth bag.
Climbing over a hill, she soon came to the same hill where she had stopped in the morning.
Gu Xi squinted slightly, and her gaze stayed on the alien plant that had just been plundered by her in the morning.
Under the sun, the green plants all over the mountains look so vibrant but extremely weird.
The mutation level of the wild xenomorph that she has plundered has increased!
It's obviously more than a grade above the surrounding alien plants!
After thinking about it, Gu Xi took out a portable anometer from the cloth bag he carried with himβthis is one of the necessary basic equipment that the base has for every pioneer.
After testing, Gu Xi found that the coefficient of variation of the alien plants that she had plundered was generally above 8; The coefficient of variation of the surrounding xenoplants that have not been plundered is around 6.5.
Thinking of the rapidly mutating sweet potato vines in the ground, Gu Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the little green shoots that were obviously a little lively at his fingertips, thoughtful.
Her Abilities...... Seems to improve the plant's ability to hold that weird energy?
After thinking about it, Gu Xi faced this alien plant and released his ability again...... But the scope of the plunder was deliberately controlled at half of the morning.
On the way back, thinking of Wei Heng's words, she turned a corner under her feet, and finally went to pick some wild flowers.
Half an hour later, Wei Heng looked at the wildflowers she brought back and was silent.
He really didn't know how to tell the girl in front of him that the ink-black wild chrysanthemums with a diameter of more than one meter with a diameter of more than one meter were usually only used when she went to the grave during the Qingming Festival......
Thinking that Gu Xi had been living alone in the ruins area before, and there was probably no one to teach her this, Wei Heng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, only silently took the flower in her arms.
Okay, he'll get a bigger vase and put it in the ......
At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly kicked him with his toes, motioning him to look across the stream, "Someone is coming." β
Wei Heng looked up at the giant bouquet in his arms.
At the end of the line of sight, an off-road vehicle and a large truck, twisting one after the other, were heading this way.
With the screeching sound of tires scraping against the ground, both cars stopped on the other side of the creek.
From the off-road vehicle with the head, a young girl with a round face stepped down and took the initiative to walk towards them.
"Hello." The girl walked up to the two of them and introduced herself: "My name is Qin Yi, and I am also a pioneer from the Nancheng base. β
The girl was very cute, and when she smiled, she showed two sweet dimples, and she pointed to the hill across the stream and said, "My sister and I contracted the hill on the other side......"
Gu Xi saw that another short-haired girl dressed in black jumped down from the big truck with an expressionless face and nodded indifferently at them.
At this moment, Qin Yi took out a small packet of compressed biscuits from the big backpack he carried with him and stuffed it into Gu Xi's hand: "We will be neighbors in the future......
Gu Xi stared at the compressed biscuit in his hand and was stunned.
She knew that the first time the neighbors came to visit their homes, they wanted to bring gifts.
She also knew that it would be a gift in return......
Gu Xi looked up at Wei Heng.
Wei Heng was stunned when he saw her gaze strangely fall on the large black giant bouquet in his arms!
No, this one will definitely not work, you will be shot in the head!
Wei Heng silently took a step back.
Gu Xi: "......"
Probably because Wei Heng was too resolute, after a while, she turned around resignedly, walked quickly to the side of the container and brought a bag of sweet potatoes over, and stuffed it into the hand of the girl who claimed to be Qin Yi: "Gu Xi." β
"Thank you for the compressed cookies, it's a return gift."
Qin Yi looked at the sweet potatoes in his hand, and his eyes lit up: "Gu Xi, are these all grown by you......" These sweet potatoes are different from the sweet potato seeds issued by the base.
Not to mention that it is much bigger, and the mutation level does not look high...... No wonder the higher authorities were in a hurry to arrange for them to come over.
Gu Xi nodded silently.
At this time, Wei Heng stepped forward and clicked on his personal terminal, "I'm Wei Heng, since we're all neighbors, let's add a friend first......"
After the two of them added friends, Qin Yi looked at Gu Xi again, and the two small dimples on his face were so sweet that he couldn't refuse.
Gu Xi opened his personal terminal and pointed out his ID.
Qin Yi was a little surprised when she looked at the brand-new number on it, but she didn't ask anything, and after adding Gu Xi's friend, she only shook the sweet potato bag in her hand and said with a smile: "Gu Xi, apart from sweet potatoes, do you have anything else?" β
"My sister and I ate dry food for two days on the road, and we wanted to drink some fresh vegetable soup in the evening......"
Gu Xi didn't know what he thought, he looked at Wei Heng expressionlessly, shook his head and said, "There are only sweet potatoes." β
Qin Yi seemed a little surprised: "Ah, you are so powerful, you can grow such a good sweet potato, why don't you grow some other crops?" β
Gu Xi was silent for a while and said, "...... Sweet potato leaves can also be eaten as a vegetable. "As for the fact that I was too poor to buy seeds for other crops...... She will never admit it.
The main thing is that I can't afford to lose that person.
"That," Wei Heng had a strange premonition in his heart, and hurriedly interjected, "It's not early, I'll go over and help you unload the goods first, otherwise it will be dark for a while, and it will be difficult to get ......."
He turned to Gu Xi again and said, "Don't go, you with thin arms and legs, you can't help much......
As he spoke, he stuffed the giant bouquet in his hand back into Hui Xi's arms: "I see that the two sisters have a lot of things, and they may not be able to come back to make dinner for you later." β
"There are sweet potatoes in the pot that you haven't eaten at noon, if you are hungry, eat some to cushion your stomach first......"
Gu Xi glanced at the giant bouquet in his arms strangely and silently, and nodded.
After Qin Yi smiled and thanked him, he said hello to Gu Xi again, and took Wei Heng to the other side of the creek.
On the other side of the stream, the short-haired girl dressed in black and looking a little cold was slowly pushing an oversized container towards the open space under the hillside.
Strength-type Adepts?
Not quite like ......
Gu Xi held the huge black chrysanthemum, stood in place and watched for a while, and then walked back slowly.
When she passed by the sweet potato vines that had been specially left behind at the door, she paused slightly.
