Picturesque mountains and rivers of the motherland

Chinese star.

Map of Shanxi, the top of Mount Heng.

Bai Ting and Xiaobanlou Kaimo are picking vegetables.It's just so strange, it's just so bohemian.

Things started two days ago.

Bai Ting finally chose to inform Lou Jingming of the cause and effect of Lou Kaimo's shrinking.At first Lou Jingming only joked about Bai Ting's whim, until Bai Ting talked about Lou Kaimo's childhood experience, Lou Jingming's expression became serious, and he said that he would ask the military for leave and set off immediately.

Before Lou Jingming's arrival, Bai Ting simply took the small building to explore the mountains and rivers, inspecting the newly unlocked scenic spots.

And today, it happened to be the day Lou Jingming was expected to arrive.Considering that Lou Jingming prefers "poor mountains and bad waters" that can "suffer his will and strain his muscles and bones", Bai Ting decided to unlock Hengshan.

When Bai Ting went to Mount Heng, his first impression was that it was "shabby". This kind of "shabby" is compared with other famous mountains.

Except for the new buildings, the Taoist temples in the old Hengshan area are small in size, even inferior to the Buddhist temples in ordinary county towns.

In fact, it is conceivable that since Buddhism entered the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, Taoism has gradually declined.Sects that do not receive royal support naturally have nothing to do with "magnificence".

Although Bai Ting did not believe in religion, Taoism was what he admired the most among all the schools of thought. Lao Zhuang's ideas of governance through inaction and the unity of man and nature have always been his admiration.

However, there was only one experience to go to Hengshan, but it was not pleasant.

The companions released the pigeons, and Bai Ting walked alone.It's not a holiday or a weekend, there are few tourists, and the journey that should have been relaxing and happy, has happened to meet several so-called "Taoist priests" along the way.

As long as there are historical sites of sects in China, there are naturally preachers and fortune-tellers.Of course, unlike Christian missionaries who try to influence you persistently, these Taoist priests, monks and fortune tellers mainly focus on selling products.

If it is normal, Bai Ting will not go to watch, or refuse firmly, and he will naturally be able to get rid of the followers.

However, there were few tourists that day, and he was the only one on the entire mountain road. The Taoist priest persevered, with a posture of insisting on the green hills and not letting go.

Bai Ting was most afraid of being chattered by others. Seeing that the Taoist priest really planned to accompany him through this journey, Bai Ting had to buy a gossip necklace to send the Taoist priest away.

I thought I could start a pleasant journey, but who knows that just after turning around the mountain road, another Taoist priest came up...

During the trip to Mount Heng, Bai Ting received a canopy ruler, a pair of Sanqing bells, a gossip necklace, and two mahogany rulers, all of which were "hush money".

Bai Ting naturally knew that he shouldn't blame the scenery because of improper management, and he shouldn't affect the elegance of sightseeing because of individual people, but the truth is this truth, which is easy to understand but difficult to do.

Bai Ting originally thought that the Shenzhou system would allow him to visit Hengshan again without distraction. Who would have thought that when he walked to the Hanging Temple with Xiaobanlou Kaimo, he was stopped by an old man riding a donkey.

The old man has a youthful face and a handsome figure. He looks like a fairy at first glance.

"Young man, I see that you are a genius, I decided to ask you to do me a favor." The old man said.

Bai Ting: Old man, you memorized the lines wrongly. Gengu Qingqi is a talent, and the words should be "teach me the best skills" and "send you a secret book", instead of doing me a favor.

This logic is like you shouting to Ma Yun's father, "Dad, you are the most handsome in the world in my heart, and I decided to ask you to help me avoid the Huabei bill."

It's a pity that Bai Ting had no room to refuse, and the Shenzhou system sounded in his mind first.

"Congratulations to the host, a new task is triggered, [Zhang Guolao's wish]."

It turned out that the old man in front of him was Zhang Guolao.

One of the Eighteen Scenic Spots of Hengshan is called "Guolao Fairy Trail", so it would be appropriate to trigger Zhang Guolao to be an NPC.

In the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, Bai Ting said, "Okay, you can tell."

Zhang Guolao's wish is to help pick the vegetables he planted on the top of Mount Heng.

It didn't sound too difficult, Bai Ting also repeatedly confirmed, "Picking vegetables is enough?" Are you sure you don't need to stand upside down to pick vegetables?Picking veggies while doing a full Thomas spin?

Zhang Guolao was sure.

Bai Ting also rejoiced that the system was becoming more and more humane, and when the people-oriented policy was implemented more and more thoroughly, Bai Ting saw Zhang Guolao's vegetable field.

Bai Ting was silent for a moment.

Sure enough, there is nothing cheap about the Shenzhou system.

The melons and fruits in this farmland are as big as ten, that's all, the most important thing is that this farmland can't see the end at a glance.

Fortunately, this task has no time limit.

At the same time, Lou Jingming sent a message saying that he had arrived at Huaxiaxing Wharf.

With the intention of being able to deceive a labor force, Bai Ting sent the location to the past.

Bai Ting squatted down and began to pick the huge vegetables.

Bai Ting's original intention was to prevent Lou Kaimo from working. Child labor and the like are also prohibited in the federation.

Lou Kaimo saw that Bai Ting was squatting busy, and couldn't help asking: "Are you going to pick these melons and fruits?"

"Ok?"

"Pick it like this?"

Bai Ting affirmed that the baby's eyes were full of "disdain".

Lou Kaimo is not just a brat who only talks but doesn't do anything. He only picks on others but doesn't move. He rolls up his sleeves, jumps into the farmland, activates his abilities, and eliminates a piece of farmland with three strikes and five strikes.

Comparing the other party's hill-like achievements with his own extremely small pile of fruits and vegetables, Bai Ting felt complicated.

Lou Kaimo is very reserved, acting like a trivial matter.

The child's pretentiousness, in the eyes of adults, looks childish and cute.

Bai Ting looked at him with a smile.

Lou Kaimo inexplicably felt his cheeks burning hot, turned his face to the side, and pretended to ask casually, "Is it alright with me?"

The expression is full of the desire to "come and praise me, come and praise me".

As an adult who cared about children, Bai Ting was naturally very supportive: "Yeah, Mo Mo is the best! Mo Mo is really the most powerful kid in the world."

Lou Kaimo's little milk fat was raised happily, but he felt a little disappointed after a while, the tone was not right, the compliment he wanted was not like this.

But what exactly he longed for, he couldn't tell.

"Boss Bai is very leisurely and carefree."

Mobai and Mobai were in full swing, and the sound of teasing came from a distance.

It was Lou Jingming.

Lou Jingming glanced at the immature version of Lou Kaimo, and couldn't help saying, "Brother."

Lou Kaimo stared at Lou Jingming, sighed for a long while, "It turns out that my elder brother will behave like this when he grows up."

Lou Jingming smiled and said to Bai Ting, "Is my brother cute?"

Bai Ting did not answer, the answer is beyond doubt.

Accompanied by the two, Lou Jingming finished picking Zhang Guolao's vegetables, a work that could have been done in half a month, but with the support of a big and small supernatural person, it was completed within an hour.

At the end stage, Lou Jingming walked to Bai Ting's side.

"I checked it on the spaceship when I came here. The scene you saw in the dream should be the laboratory of the Central Star Research Institute."

"Do all federal laboratories do such inhumane experiments?"

"Don't get me wrong, that was an exception. Back then, this incident shocked the entire federal leadership, including the political circles, the military, and major families. All the forces joined forces to eliminate the underground laboratory. Because its nature and content were too brutal, it was worried that it would cause panic and panic among the people. Social turmoil, not made public."

"They are also trying to do experiments? If he hadn't escaped, wouldn't he have turned into a monster that looked like a human but was not human?"

Lou Jingming remained silent.

After that incident, Lou Kaimo completely changed himself. Lou Jingming and Lou's father and mother felt that they owed Lou Kaimo a lot.

"Thank you Bai Ting, you let us know what my brother went through that year."

Bai Ting straightened up, looking at Lou Kaimo who was concentrating in the distance, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. "Forget it, fortunately everything is over."

"I'm afraid it's not over."

Bai Ting was taken aback.

Lou Jingming: "After my brother returned from Huaxia Star, he checked his belongings and found a piece of metal. The material of this piece of metal belongs to Chengjing Mecha. This batch of mecha was produced 20 years ago, and only one There were [-] pieces, and production was not resumed after that.”

Lou Jingming paused, looked at the immature faces looking at them from a distance, and continued: "These mechas were specially used to suppress the monsters in the laboratory at that time, and they were recalled and destroyed after the task was over. It should exist in the world again, but its fragments appeared in my brother's storage container."

A cold wind blew across the top of the mountain.The wind seems to be blowing from the old days, with more than 20 years of years, with sadness and pain, it makes people feel cold.

Bai Ting and Lou Jingming fell silent.

"It's done!" The immature male voice that has not yet reached the voice-changing period resounded on the top of the mountain.

Bai Ting and Lou Jingming looked over.

The boy raised his face, like a bright full moon, illuminating the deep night and the foggy waterside, and all the haze in the world gradually disappeared.

West Lake Villa.

Bai Ting took out the mandarin duck pot that had not been used for a long time from the cabinet.

"Have hot pot tonight, a spicy butter, a tomato pot bottom, is it okay?" Bai Ting asked for advice.

Lou Jingming agreed with a smile, and Lou Kaimo, well, he currently has no voting rights.

Bai Ting was preparing hot-boiled dishes in the kitchen, and the Lou family brothers were cooking the bottom of the pot in the dining room.It is said to cook the bottom of the pot, but add some water to the bottom of the hot pot and boil it.

Lou Jingming looked at his younger brother who hadn't seen him for many years, and felt joy in his heart, and couldn't stop teasing him.

"The mandarin ducks are two birds in China. The mandarin duck is the male bird, and the duck is the female bird. They come in pairs, which is a symbol of love." Lou Jingming said.

Lou Kaimo let out a "hmm".

Lou Jingming started a serious nonsense mode: "So Boss Bai suddenly invited us to eat mandarin duck pot, but there is actually something deep in it."

Lou Kaimo looked at the two kinds of red in the pot, one deep and one light red, somehow, it was inexplicably unpleasant.

For one dinner, Lou Kaimo, who had a good appetite, ate listlessly.

Bai Ting also noticed that Lou Kaimo was not in good condition. He thought it was due to his excessive consumption of powers today, so he was very considerate to help him boil shrimp slippery and beef, but the other party still ate absent-mindedly.

When night was approaching and Lou Jingming was about to say goodbye, Lou Kaimo was unwilling to leave.

For the past few days, Lou Kaimo lived in Bai Ting's villa, and Bai Ting specially cleaned up the study room for Lou Kaimo to live in.Now that his elder brother is here, out of reason, Lou Kaimo should live with Lou Jingming.

"I won't go." Lou Kaimo said firmly, his chubby face seemed expressionless, but there was a bit of longing in his eyes.

Lou Jingming shrugged his shoulders and said to Bai Ting, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Bai Ting didn't care about the child and agreed.

Before going to bed, Lou Kaimo suddenly knocked on Bai Ting's door.

The sleepy Bai Ting opened the door, and saw Lou Kaimo who had just finished taking a shower with a flushed face.

"Can I sleep with you?" Lou Kaimo asked.

Bai Ting:? !

What kind of hooligan speech is this?

Lou Kaimo: "The light in the study is broken, I'm afraid of the dark."

Bai Ting originally wanted to say, "It's okay, I can change the light bulb when I go up, and unclog the toilet when I go down. Small things can be solved in 10 minutes."

But when he saw Lou Kaimo's expectant eyes, he finally said, "Come in."

With.

Xi.

group.

Correct.

Bai Ting had already rolled out the quilt and was about to go to bed. He wanted to find another quilt for Lou Kaimo, but he saw Lou Kaimo slipping into the bed as if entering his own house.

That's it.

Bai Ting sat on the other side and took a book from the bedside table.

"Do you like my brother?" Lou Kaimo asked suddenly.

Bai Ting was glad that he did not have the habit of drinking water before going to bed.

"Kids, what are you thinking about all day long?"

"But you make mandarin duck pot for my brother?"

"What happened to the mandarin duck pot?"

"Isn't mandarin duck pot only eaten by couples?"

Bai Ting: ...

Is Lou Jingming okay?What is instilled in minors?

Bai Ting: "Mandarin duck pot is only used to separate different pot bottoms to meet the needs of different tastes. It is called Yuanyang pot because the store that first invented the mandarin duck pot used a partition with a pattern of mandarin ducks."

Lou Kaimo let out an "oh", and his depressed mood suddenly became brighter, as if the thick fog had receded, and the mountains were full of singing birds and flowers.

He turned around and faced Bai Ting's direction, full of thirst for knowledge. "What is the relationship between me and you when I grow up?"

Bai Ting opened the book: "You guess?"

Lou Kaimo: "At least they are friends."

Bai Ting flipped through the pages of the book and said calmly: "You guessed wrong, in fact we are enemies, and we will fight when we meet." After thinking for a while, he added, "The kind that kills me."

Lou Kaimo vetoed it immediately: "Impossible." His tone was firm.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Because you make me feel good."

After Lou Kaimo finished speaking, his face blushed unconsciously, he shrank back into the bed, and said again, "You are fine."

Bai Ting, who was dealt a good person card, turned his face sideways and looked at Xiaoban Lou Kaimo who was curled up into a fat-headed fish.

Sensing Bai Ting's gaze, Lou Kaimo couldn't help but continue to bury his face, but was stopped by Bai Ting. "Be careful to breathe."

The two stopped talking, Bai Ting quietly flipped through the books, and Lou Kaimo soon fell asleep, breathing evenly.

for a long time.

Bai Ting closed the book.

Outside the window, the night sky is as soft and quiet as black satin, and the little stars are gathering and singing softly.

Bai Ting looked at Xiaolou Kaimo who was sleeping beside him.

Perhaps because he can perceive good and evil, he will be wholehearted to the person he likes, even if it will bite him back.

Also because of being hurt, he retreats from the goodwill of the world, longs for it but escapes.

Bai Ting suddenly felt relieved.

"If you forget me again, I will be more patient this time and take you back to yourself."
