Crying hotly by myself every day [future]

Augustin shook his head helplessly, so he could only take the flowerpot outside and let the sun dry it out.

The warm sunlight cast on the chili seedlings was so warm that Zhou Baizhe relaxed his limbs contentedly. He no longer clung to the flowerpot, but spread it softly on the stone slab, basking in the sun.

Augustin quickly left for combat training.

The surrounding villagers had noticed this place a long time ago, and after seeing Augustin leave, they quickly gathered over, stared at the spread pepper plant, and stammered: "The pepper king is so hot in the sun, why don't you find a sunshade?" Cover it with an umbrella?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Another villager said: "The Pepper King is getting old, and he needs to spend more time in the sun to avoid osteoporosis."

After hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and soon dispersed, no longer bothering the life of the pepper king in his old age.

Look, how considerate they are, the chili king will definitely praise them when he wakes up.

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhou Baizhe only felt the feeling of thirst, his limbs were extremely heavy, and the leaves were also a little wilted, he felt - so thirsty!

Quickly open your eyes, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, a group of birds fly by, bringing the sound of the wind, and the sound of rustling leaves is like a beautiful movement played,

Zhou Baizhe couldn't help being intoxicated for half a while, and only after his consciousness gradually came together did he suddenly realize something was wrong.

Isn't he sleeping in the house?

How did you come outside in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Baizhe got up quickly, looked around, and saw that the villagers were busy with themselves, and they didn't notice it at all.

What, what's going on?

Normally, the village head would never let himself lie on the stone slab to dry in the sun, but at this moment, he saw very clearly that the village head was drinking tea and nibbling melon seeds in the distance, looking very leisurely.

Zhou Baizhe felt his mind was in a mess, and subconsciously rubbed his forehead, but when he saw the leaves, his jaw almost didn't drop, this - is this still his delicate leaves?

Why did it turn from small fresh leaves to old bacon right now?

How short of water is this, can it be done like this?

Looking at the sky again, it must be afternoon now, maybe he has been out in the sun all morning, although the plant will not be bad if it is exposed to the sun for a day, but the problem is that his root system has not taken root It absorbs water in the soil, but Da Lala is exposed to the outside, so it's not bad that he didn't die alive.

What's going on.

Zhou Baizhe couldn't figure it out.

-

The village chief was eating melon seeds, he didn't pay attention to Zhou Baizhe at all, but said with a little complacency: "This time, the chili king will definitely sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep."

The rest of the people heard the words and agreed: "No, if the village head hadn't ordered everyone not to bother King Chili, let alone go over, otherwise King Chili would have been woken up long ago."

The villagers smiled one after another, thinking that as long as the pepper king can sleep soundly, it is enough.

It's just that they didn't know that they did something bad with good intentions.

Because the villagers stayed away from that area, Zhou Baizhe slept until the afternoon. If it wasn't for the lack of water, he wouldn't have woken up at all.

Zhou Baizhe was going crazy due to lack of water. He stared at the water glass in the village chief's hand and licked his lips, "Water..."

He tried to make himself stand up, but he made a pretense suddenly, and finally stood up, but he was on the verge of falling, as if he would fall down at any time.

Zhou Baizhe secretly encouraged himself in his heart, you can do it, you can do it!

Then he took the first step carefully. Before he could stand still, the whole plant knelt on the ground in an instant, and it couldn't get up no matter how hard it struggled.

Zhou Baizhe sighed in his heart, what is all this?

After all, he is also an intelligent creature, so why did he have the heart to move himself out and expose himself to the sun for a whole morning, it is really insane.

But right now, it doesn't matter.

Zhou Baizhe tried his best to raise his heavy head, trying to call the villagers to come over and water him quickly!

But after shouting several times in succession, Zhou Baizhe still couldn't hear his own voice, as if——his voice was completely hoarse due to lack of water.

How can this be?

Zhou Baizhe's first reaction was this.

He doesn't have a voice at all, although he doesn't know where the sound comes from, but he is very sure that he does not have a voice organ, but the fact that he was hoarse from the sun is indeed an undeniable fact.

Zhou Baizhe finally came up with a good solution slowly and bluntly using his IQ, which caused the brain and brain to shrink due to lack of water.

That is to use body language to attract the attention of the villagers.

He doesn't have the strength to stand up and walk now, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have the strength to lie down and swing the branches and leaves.

I believe the villagers will definitely notice this.

Zhou Baizhe thought confidently.

In the distance, the village chief was still chatting with the villagers. At this moment, a villager noticed the swaying branches and leaves of the Pepper King, and couldn't help saying: "Look quickly."

Everyone looked sideways, suddenly amused.

The village chief said with a very kind look: "The Pepper King is still so lively when he is asleep, unlike us, who are old and can't even use their old arms and legs."

When everyone heard the words, they sighed for a while. So many things happened in the past few months, which made the village chief a lot older. They quickly comforted him and hoped that the village chief would not be sad.

Zhou Baizhe was panting, he didn't even have the strength to swing the branches and leaves.

Lying on the ground with a face full of despair, I just thought—who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do.

The villagers clearly saw him, so why were they still chatting with each other, talking and laughing, completely ignoring his plea for help.

In an instant, Zhou Baizhe suddenly thought of the reason, and his face changed slightly.

Could it be—these villagers mistook themselves for the pepper boy?

After all, he looks exactly the same as the pepper boys, the only difference is the leaves, his leaves seem to be carved out of precious jade, very delicate and transparent.

And the chili boys are completely indistinguishable from ordinary chili.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this reason was correct. Zhou Baizhe didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, because the only leaf that could prove his identity had already withered due to excessive exposure to the sun.

Now it's great.

He can neither speak nor prove his identity. Is it possible that he really wants to lie here and die in the sun?

Just thinking about this way of death, even Zhou Baizhe still finds it hard to accept.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from a distance, and a man came surrounded by many villagers. Zhou Baizhe judged with his already dull brain——this man was Augustin.

Wait... Augustine?

Zhou Baizhe seemed to have poured his strength into it instantly, and quickly rose up, weakly lifting the little leaf, trembling slightly, at first glance, it looked like he was holding a white flag.

Trembling for a few seconds, Zhou Baizhe finally let go out of breath.

Damn, I'm exhausted to death.

After dealing with the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Augustin focused his attention on the little pepper that looked like dead, frowned slightly, and strode forward to come to the little pepper.

At this moment, the king of peppers is lying on the ground without moving. The leaves that were originally transparent and moist have become crumpled. You can see the direction of the veins, and the roots are also compacted together, like a human being protecting himself with his knees locked. .

It looked so pitiful and sad.

Augustin couldn't help breathing, it was the first time he saw such a dispirited chili king.

"Wake up." Augustin squatted down and fiddled with the leaves a few times with his fingertips.

But the leaves of the little pepper were motionless and unresponsive.

Augustine's expression changed...

One of the villagers walked over quickly and said with a smile: "King Pepper, it's already afternoon, why don't you hurry--" Before he finished speaking, his eyeballs almost fell off, and he shouted: "It's not good! The King Pepper is really serious!" It's become an old chili!"

With this sound, the villagers who were sitting on the ground resting in fright almost had a cardiac arrest. They rushed over and stood there in a daze.

Is the hot pepper king really becoming an old pepper?

How could this be?

Isn't it just basking in the sun, how can the pepper be aged?

Augustine's tone was a little cold, and if he listened carefully, he could distinguish the self-blame in it, "It's only like this after being dried by the sun."

what?

Augustine's words stunned the villagers instantly, and an unspeakable fear spread in their hearts.

How...how is it possible?

The Pepper King was obviously fine before, basking in the sun, and moved the leaves a few times when he was dreaming.

How did the chili king become like this in a blink of an eye?

Completely wilted?

Obviously other peppers are fine, why is the pepper king?

Augustin seemed to understand the doubts of the villagers, and said in a deep voice: "Its roots are not rooted in the soil, so they cannot absorb water."

Now, the villagers finally understood what was going on.

The villagers hurriedly called the village chief, anxiously asking: "Village, village chief, what should I do?"

The village head's originally cheerful face, after seeing the appearance of the Pepper King, instantly gave way to his knees on the ground, and his old face seemed to have suffered a major blow.

The hot chili king was sun-dried as chili?

Is this still alive?

A huge sense of suffocation hit the old man, who immediately lost all his energy. He scrambled and scrambled, carefully protecting the chili king, crying like a helpless child.

Regret spread in his heart, the village chief almost wished to strangle himself, and even pretended to be smart, allowing the pepper king to sunbathe here for a day, and even did a bad thing with good intentions, making the pepper king's life and death unknown.

Damn him!

He is guilty. He actually caused the only ancestor to suffer such pain. When he dies, how should he face his ancestors?

The village chief, who has always been strong, was so desperate that he wanted to die immediately, and go to hell with the Pepper King, lest he be alone in the ground, at least... he can still be a companion.

The embarrassment of the village chief made the villagers even more depressed and blamed themselves. After all, they also had a part in this matter!

Augustin frowned, suppressing the restlessness of the villagers, finally staring at the regretful village chief, and said coldly: "Get out of the way."

The village head ran out of nose and tears, completely lost his mind, and has been protecting the chili king, refusing to let anyone touch him.
