After

a while, Xiao Ya stopped at the door of the restaurant and poked her head in, sniffing the aroma of the food in the store.

Even though she just finished eating the skewers, she fell in love with this store in just a short time.

It happened that a restaurant was selling new products, one cup cost two gold coins, and three cups of different flavors cost only six gold coins. Xiao Ya said that today was a good day.

Just as I was about to drag my grandma into the store to spend money, there was a pull on the hand being held.

Xiaoya turned back to look at her mother in confusion, and saw her mother gently shaking her head at her.

The excitement in her heart was relieved immediately, and she knew that this meant that it was not allowed.

Ever since I can remember, every gold coin at home has been spent on food, and even this time I came out to buy food.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ya stopped insisting and wanted to go into the store to buy soy milk. She regained her mood and watched the customers in the store rushing to buy soy milk for the last time, then followed her grandma and walked away. .

In addition to the ones sold in the store, Yunxi quickly delivered the remaining 100 cups of soy milk to the entrance of the town.

This time will be the last wave of residents of Xikou Town.

Unlike the previous two waves of young adults and people with families, this wave was more of a group of half-insects who were alone and mostly poor in Xikou Town.

The reason why they came so slowly was also related to the fact that they didn't have enough food and warm clothes.

There was no food in their stomachs, so they had no strength to walk on this long journey. In addition, they were wearing light clothes. On average, every time they walked a certain distance, they would see a half-insect man curled up on the ice with his eyes closed forever.

Too many people froze to death alone. The only thing that could support them to reach Wusen Town was to persist in surviving and surpass the half-insect people ahead one after another.

There is hope only if you are alive.

Fortunately, they finally made it to Wusen Town alive, but their condition at this time could not be said to be good.

Without enough food and nutrition for a long time, these half-insect people looked thin and small. They were dressed in rags and walked in the ice and snow for so long. Their whole bodies were covered with a layer of frost.

Since the residents who arrived this time might not have gold coins to pay for the soy milk, Xia Li took the initiative and asked them to write an IOU. He would let them in first and then find jobs to pay off their debts.

After all the half-insects signed and signed, the guards began to distribute soy milk, one cup to each person, with random flavors.

Yun Xi also helped hand out soy milk to these half-insect people.

What came forward was a half-year-old boy with sunken cheeks and numbness. Different from the previous two waves of panting residents, this man's chest did not rise and fall, and there was no exhaled water vapor in his mouth and nose. It seemed that he had not come all the way here, which made Yun Xi doubt whether this person was still alive.

Suppressing the random thoughts in his mind, he handed the other person a cup of hot soy milk as usual so that he could warm up quickly. The moment their hands touched, the chill from the other person's fingers penetrated into his heart through the fingertips.

Yun Xi only felt that it was no longer a temperature that humans could have. Looking at the half-insect man in front of him who was still at a loss after taking the soy milk, he thought of his old self.

At the beginning, he was also hungry and naked. He traveled to countless small towns and was looked down upon, and finally came to Wusen Town. After living for a period of time, he chose to settle here.

Through hard work, he now has a good job and can support himself.

In response, Yun Xi looked at the half-insect man who was still stunned, and stepped forward to help him open the soy milk and motioned for him to drink it while it was hot.

"It's already amazing that you can make it to Wusen Town alive. After drinking this cup of soy milk, you can go in and find a house to stay and rest for the night. The days to come will get better and better."

He couldn't say more comforting words. After coming out, there was no guarantee that he would be able to have enough food and clothing in Wusen Town. It all depended on whether he wanted to fight for it. Yun Xi patted the half-insect man on the shoulder and returned to his original position to help distribute the soy milk.

The half-insect man who had been dumbfounded now recovered, and his frozen brain was finally able to move again. He understood what Yun Xi said, and a tear fell from the corner of the half-insect man's eyes.

With tears in his eyes, he lowered his head and took a big gulp of the soy milk. The hot, sweet, and mellow soy milk warmed his body as soon as he touched his stomach, and his fingers that were stiff from the cold could curl up.

Poor half-insect people like them will more or less have signs of insect transformation and insect marks on their bodies.

I have been accustomed to the existence of these since I was a child, and I never thought that there would be a day when they disappear.

After drinking a whole cup of soy milk and gaining some strength, the half-insect man casually glanced at the insect pattern as usual.

He doesn't know when he got this insect pattern, but he has been observing it every day since the moment he discovered it. It's not that the mark will disappear if he looks at it twice more, but as long as there is no abnormality in the insect pattern, it means he can live longer. a period of time.

Now, when the half-insect man was doing a routine inspection and felt that there was still no change in the insect patterns today, he saw something unusual.

There are still insect marks on the clean back of the hand.

Is he dazzled?

The half-insect man's eyes widened, and he stretched out his left hand to rub the back of his right hand vigorously until the skin became wrinkled and red without leaving any marks.

Now he finally realized that the mark that had always made him fearful was gone.

The half-insect man, who had not yet figured out what was going on, was pushed by his companions behind him and entered Wusen Town together.

Xia Li and the guards continued to wait for more than half an hour, but no one came.

At this point, he concluded that all the residents of Xikou Town who had made it to Wusen Town alive had come in.

Leaving a few guards to guard the gate, Xia Li took the remaining guards to the planting area of ​​the town.

At the same time, a large number of strangers and half-Chongchong people came to Chongchong Restaurant. They were the residents of Xikou Town who had just settled down. They were conquered by Chuanchuan and came to the restaurant to have a taste.

There were clerks and Johel taking care of the restaurant. Weihuo was very relieved and went to the planting area with Xie Xingzhu.

After leaving that time in a hurry, he never visited it again. What happened in Xikou Town followed immediately. Weihuo was still thinking about his piece of land.

It's not that the guards didn't take adequate precautions, but that this black insect is so evil. As long as the one that escaped last time is not found for a day, the seeds planted in the planting area will be in danger.

Xia Li arrived ahead of them and surrounded the planting area with guards. These guards will be protecting the place from today on.

In the future, even planting personnel will have to be inspected by guards before entering the planting area.

There are not many fields in the planting area, and the green leafy vegetables and radishes sown by the planting staff are still in good condition without any abnormalities in the ground.

But what puzzled Xia Li was that there was another sown field next to the field where the planters were sowing.

"Is this another planting staff? This talent level is quite high." Xia Li praised repeatedly.

He's not talking big words.

Lo and behold, the green leafy vegetables in this field are growing better than those grown by previous growers.

Even the height is a bit higher than the green leafy vegetables on the side, not to mention the color, it is so juicy and green that he is willing to bite it raw now.

Based on such a comparison, Xia Li looked down on the dim and wilting green leafy vegetables next to them.

As for why he concluded that a new person has come to the planting area, the main reason is that there has been no new person in the planting area for more than ten years!

Over the years, he has known every grower here and is more familiar with the growth of vegetables in the fields.

At first glance, this land is not of their standard. It must have been planted by new people.

He just didn't know who the newcomer would be, so Xia Li squatted on the edge of the field and rubbed his chin, carefully recalling which residents in the town had this talent.

After thinking for a long time but unable to come up with a reason, Xia Li simply stood up and inspected every piece of land.

However, the guard guarding outside the planting area suddenly ran in and shouted: "Team Xia, the owner of Chongchong Restaurant wants to come in outside the planting area. He said he wants to come and see his land." "

What? Are you sure Wei Huo wants to come here to look at the land?" Xia Li had a serious face, but he didn't know how many thoughts ran through his heart.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, and Xia Li seemed to have caught something in his mind. If it was really what he thought, then everything would make sense.

If there is anyone in the entire town who can grow such delightful vegetables, it must be Weiho. It seems that as long as he has him, everything will be no problem.

He should have thought, "Quick, let him in."

The guard ordered and hurried out again.

Xia Li looked at the position of the door with joy until Weihuo's figure flashed there. Xia Li strode over and slapped Weihuo on the back.

"Well, Weihuo, you are so strict in hiding things. Are you tired of running a store and want to switch to a planting researcher?"

Weihuo gently waved Xia Li's hand away, tilted his head and looked at the smiling Xia Li with displeasure. , are you sure there is no personal emotion involved in this slap?

Just barely made him cough.

"The shop still needs to be opened, but that doesn't stop me from growing vegetables. I happen to have some vegetable seeds on hand." "

I didn't use it before because I was busy trying to survive. Now that I'm settled, I'll apply for farming as soon as possible."

Weihuo's explanation successfully dispelled Xia Li's doubts.

The planting area was too important. He didn't realize that it was because of problems in the planting area in Xikou Town that all the residents of the town had to flee. Everything related to this had to make him vigilant.

Fortunately, Weihuo was not the kind of person he thought. Knowing this, Xia Li's smile became more sincere this time.

Then the two brothers put their arms around Weihuo's neck and led him to the fields.

Xie Xingzhu followed Wei Huo in and there was always a transparent man standing perfectly in front of him. With his excellent eyesight, he could still see the movements of this familiar half-insect man even if he was floating far above.

"Hmph, if I hadn't been here, you kid wouldn't have even thought about going out

today." What a mistake. He couldn't rush over now. It would be bad if he was exposed. Xie Xingzhu couldn't think of any good way. I can take out a small notebook and write it all down for him.

After a while, Weihuo saw the patch he planted among the green leafy vegetables without even walking to the field.

It was too obvious. He had thought about growing better vegetables before, but now he was a little worried.

The green leafy vegetables have grown up, and his fame will probably take another step forward. Being too famous is not necessarily a good thing. Several major families in Wusen Town have the final say after consultation. If he cannot protect his land, it will be taken away from him in the future. Keep an eye on.

We can only try our best to grow as many vegetables as possible during this period.

"Weihuo, the green leafy vegetables you grew are so beautiful. You can tell without sending them for testing that there is absolutely no pollution." The

pollution level of the green leafy vegetables grown by the growers is Level 3. Greener vegetables than this are only greener. If it is lower, such good green leafy vegetables will also taste better, right?

Xia Li boasted and inquired: "Does your green leafy vegetable belong to you? I want to buy some."

Xia Li's words reminded Weihuo of the agreement he had made with the clan leaders.

"If I successfully grow vegetables within three months, the land will belong to me, and all future output will belong to me." "

It's just that I have to provide one-third of the vegetables to the planting researchers. This is the agreement. "

It took less than a few days to grow this piece of green leafy vegetables and the quality was so good. According to the agreement, he could send it now, but in this way he would tell the clan leaders in disguise that he was strange.

Weiho said immediately: "I plan to use all the green leafy vegetables grown this time in the restaurant. I only need to give it to the growers within these three months." "

If you want to buy it, just pick up a handful here. Take it away."

Xia Li didn't expect it to be so easy. He grinned and said how embarrassed he was. He quickly picked a small vegetable leaf and wiped it on his clothes. He quickly stuffed it into his mouth when Weihuo wasn't paying attention. Chewing inside.

He had wanted to do this for a long time, and it was worth waiting for so long.

A small leaf is not too big. The more Xia Li chews it, the brighter his eyes become. It doesn't have the bitterness of ordinary green leafy vegetables, and he doesn't feel any discomfort after eating it.

It was crispy and sweet but unexpectedly delicious. It was a pity that I only picked a small piece and it was gone after just two chews.

After savoring the fragrance that lingered in his mouth, Xia Li followed the row on the field and picked enough green leafy vegetables to fry for a plate and put them into the wooden basket prepared in the planting area.

These are all things he will take away later, but he must put them away. He had already thought about it, half fried and half eaten raw.

Xie Xingzhu's teeth itched at the sight of him eating and grabbing.

After waiting for Xia Li to finish picking, Weihuo also brought a wooden basket and picked half of the remaining green leafy vegetables. He could take them directly to the restaurant as a dinner dish later.

Just by looking at the condition and color of this green leafy vegetable, you can tell that it tastes great without even tasting it. However, this is the first time it has been grown here. I dont know if the pollution level is much different from the green leafy vegetables he purified. .

There are many seeds of other vegetable types in his game backpack. When he comes here next time, he can try to grow radishes. If the vegetables grown are as good as the green leafy vegetables today, then there will be no need to worry about the vegetables in the future.

There is just a little bit of land.

It would be great if we could get a few more pieces of land from the clan leaders. Weihuo was wondering whether to exchange it for a second type of vegetable.

But at this moment, he didn't know that this opportunity would come so quickly.

Idlely thinking that I had taken advantage this time, Xia Li was holding a basket on the other side to help pick green leafy vegetables.

With the addition of Xia Li, the amount Weihuo needed was quickly completed.

Weihuo straightened up and stood on the ridge of the field, carrying a basket and saying goodbye to Xia Li. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "I will come to the planting area often in the future, and I may need a guard to help me. I hope Captain Xia I can agree."

And how could Xia Li refuse to agree, "Easy to say, you can borrow the guards at the door as long as there are not too many." "

Then thank Captain Xia first."

Seeing Weihuo leaving the planting area, the one above Xie Xingzhu couldn't stay here any longer, so he could only leave with dissatisfaction, not forgetting to look back and glare at Xia Li fiercely.

Xia Li was facing Xie Xingzhu with his back, and felt an inexplicable chill on his back. He turned around and saw nothing, hesitantly turned back and patrolled the fields more vigilantly.

After looking at the fields one last time, he planned to go back. Today's work was all over.

Five minutes later, Xia Li didn't notice anything wrong with the field. He left the planting area with a basket and his legs. However, the moment he stepped out of the door, the creature that had been hiding in the corner of the blind spot ran out with a "swish", and The only thing left in the entire planting area is a circle of guards at the door.

As night fell, snowflakes began to fall in the sky again, and the guards hid in their houses. They did not notice anything strange coming from the fields shortly after that.

Come on, come on, I stewed two pigeons today, hahaha, its delicious!
