Pastoral Daily Life

Someone once said that the most beautiful sound in the world is the cry of a newborn.

Lu Lingxi didn't feel much about this before, but when the nurse held the baby in front of him and listened to the baby's cry like a monkey, Lu Lingxi felt her heart was about to melt.

He and Yan Yue looked at the little baby at a loss, and the nurse laughed, "The baby is very obedient and weighs six catties. Where's the baby's father?"

The child's father was busy condolences to Wang Shuxiu at this time, and he didn't even care about the child. "Xiaohua, what do you feel uncomfortable? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Or sleep for a while?"

Although Wang Shuxiu's birth was relatively smooth, but after all, she was old and her body was weak.It was fine if Xiao Feng didn't say it, but when Xiao Feng said it, she really felt a little hungry.But before eating, Wang Shuxiu was thinking about the child, "Where is the child?"

The nurse came in with the baby in her arms, followed by Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue who was carrying chicken soup.

Wang Shuxiu hugged the child carefully, looked at it carefully for a long time, raised her head and smiled at Lu Lingxi, "It looks exactly the same as Xiaoxi when she was a child."

"Really?" Lu Lingxi leaned over and looked at the bright red monkey.

Wang Shuxiu nodded, looking at the child tenderly.Although her hair is disheveled and her face is a little pale, but in Xiao Feng's eyes, she feels that Xiao Hua is the most beautiful now.

The family of four was tired of lying in the ward, all their attention was on the newborn baby, and no one paid attention to the various rumors circulating in Fengcheng.A few days later, when Wang Shuxiu left the hospital with the child in her arms, Lu Lingxi found out that there was something wrong with the reconstruction project in Nancheng, and the situation in Fengcheng underground was completely exposed to everyone.

At the Nancheng expert team station, team leader Zhu Xiaowei distributed the underground exploration report in his hands to the team members. "The latest exploration report has come out. It is now certain that the entire underground of Fengcheng is covered with roots of dragons and coils. These roots are entangled together, like a big net, covering the entire underground area of ​​Fengcheng."

This is simply an incredible thing.Some experts looked puzzled, "According to the age test of the willow trees on the ground, the oldest willow trees have only been planted for more than ten years, and most of them have been planted for several years or a year. How can their roots be so developed? ?”

Another expert chimed in: "Is it because of evolution?"

"Water storage? The willow tree's underground roots are full of water. How do you explain this?"

"Do you still remember the abnormal weather in Fengcheng? It hasn't rained much since the beginning of spring, but it's not dry at all. The soil is completely wet after digging. Could it be related to the water storage of willow roots?"

"Yes, several surrounding cities are in a state of drought, but Fengcheng is not short of water. We have not been able to find the reason, and now it seems that it is really inseparable from the water storage of willow roots."

"But why do willows store water? Could it be that they already have consciousness and sensed the existence of drought in advance? Note that it's not just a willow tree like this, but all the willow tree roots we found are like this. This already belongs to the scope of group consciousness gone."

Several experts in the expert group expressed their opinions. This is the first time that everyone has encountered such a situation.After they were in trouble in finding the reason for Fengcheng's overall evolution, Nancheng's discovery was like a ray of light.

"Team leader, new discovery."

"what?"

"The underground trend map drawn by the echo sounder."

"Look, although there are roots all over the ground in Fengcheng, several main root systems have been expanding towards the north."

"North? What's in the North?"

"Do you remember that village? Lingshui Village, the one where the whole village evolved. There is a century-old willow tree in their village. Could it be related to this willow tree?"

In the past investigations by the expert group, the focus was on people, and they did not pay too much attention to the plants in Fengcheng.The discovery of Nancheng this time attracted all their attention to the plants that they had neglected in the past, especially the countless green willows planted on both sides of the road.

The expert team rushed to Lingshui Village almost non-stop, and invited the most famous botanist in Huaguo.After carefully studying the shape of the big willow tree and the green willows planted in Fengcheng, the other party confirmed two things.First, tracing back to the source, the large willow tree in Lingshui Village is the mother tree of most of the willow trees in Fengcheng, which can explain why the underground root system is expanding toward the north.Although the scientific community has not yet found a theoretical basis, existing experiments have proved that there is conscious transmission between homologous plants.Second, he believes that the big willow tree in Lingshui Village is already a higher level of evolution.The other willows in Fengcheng are more "imitation" of the evolution of the big willow.And this kind of group evolution may also be the reason for the overall evolution of Fengcheng.

Regarding the question of the expert group - the reason for the evolution of the willow tree, after asking the old people in the village, the botanist tended to have something to do with the resurrection of the willow tree a year ago.Maybe it was the lightning strike that formed a special energy cycle inside the big willow tree, maybe some magical substance entered the inside of the willow tree through lightning.All in all, there must be an external cause for the big willow tree to cause its mutation.And this also coincides with the time when Fengcheng changed.

These explanations pointed out a direction for the expert group, and the expert group almost devoted all their energy to deciphering the willow tree.In this way, the entire Fengcheng knew that the big willow tree in Lingshui Village was the key to human evolution. Suddenly, Lingshui Village replaced Nancheng and became the focus of Huaguo's attention.

Uncle Li called Lu Lingxi and complained that the arrival of the expert team disrupted the normal life in the village.

"There are troops everywhere, and the entire Lingshui Village has been surrounded. It is inconvenient to go out and buy a barrel of oil. It was the village chief who gave them advice, so each household was given two barrels of oil, and some rice flour and so on. "

What Uncle Li said was exactly the current situation in Lingshui Village.Because of the importance of the willow tree, the government has taken over Lingshui Village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it casually.I heard that the villagers in the original house were also going to move out, but the villagers collectively objected, and finally the proposal fell through.

Because the flower garden is in Lingshui Village, Lu Lingxi also applied for a pass.However, he was a little guilty, and he had never been to Lingshui Village under the pretext of taking care of the children at home. Uncle Li would always come forward for anything in the flower garden.

In fact, the expert group also approached Lu Lingxi at the very beginning.According to the survey, all the green willows planted in Fengcheng City come from a place called Qiutian Nursery.And nearly a year ago, the person in charge of Qiutian Nursery had an accident, and Qiutian Nursery was resold to Wei Gardening.The expert group found the address of Micro Gardening by following the vines, and originally wanted to ask Lu Lingxi what he knew.As a result, before Lu Lingxi could say anything, the big willow tree attracted the attention of the expert group.After the expert group discovered that the flower garden of Micro Gardening was located in Lingshui Village, they ruled out Lu Lingxi's suspicion and decided that he was just a lucky guy.

Uncle Li also knew about this, and understood Lu Lingxi's reluctance to go to the flower garden.The two talked on the phone for a long time before Lu Lingxi hung up the phone.

"What's the new news?" Yan Yue asked after seeing him.

Lu Lingxi shook her head, "It's still the same as before, all kinds of research on the big willow tree. But Uncle Li heard that someone proposed to move the big willow tree to Zhongjing, and the villagers scolded them privately."

Yan Yue laughed, "This kind of proposal can't be realized at all. At first glance, it's just pretending to understand. This kind of person is indispensable at any time. If Da Liushu doesn't want to leave, no one can do anything about it."

What he said was interesting, Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing.The roots of the big willow tree covered the entire northern suburbs, and it was not something that could be moved with a word.

Yan Yue thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Lingshui Village sometime, it's a little strange not to go like this."

Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

Since the two decided to go, they didn't delay much. They talked to Uncle Li the next day and drove to Lingshui Village.Even though Lu Lingxi had a pass, he still passed through many checkpoints along the way before finally entering Lingshui Village.Knowing that Lu Lingxi is here, Uncle Li is the happiest.Some time ago, Aunt Li specially sewed several sets of clothes for children. Because of the arrival of the expert group, these clothes are still at home.Aunt Li has said several times that if you don't wear children's clothes, they will grow up and not be able to wear them.

Uncle Li smiled and pulled Lu Lingxi, "Let's go, let's have dinner at home first."

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue didn't come here until Wei Gardening was closed, and it happened to be in time for dinner.The two did not refuse, and followed to Uncle Li's house.When passing the big willow tree, Lu Lingxi glanced at it from afar.Many researchers surrounded the big willow tree, and the villagers would not let them approach.In the past, the little stone would often climb the big willow tree, stroke a branch to tease rhubarb, etc. Since the expert group came, these behaviors have been banned.It is said that the expert group is very nervous about the big willow tree, even the fallen leaves are collected like treasures.

After dinner, Lu Lingxi went to the flower garden again, and stayed in the village at night.When he slept until midnight, Dahei suddenly called out hastily.Lu Lingxi woke up dazedly, Yan Yue had already got up, opened the door and let Dahei in.

Xiao Hei got out from under the pillow, hissing at Yan Yue.

Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi looked at each other and quickly said, "Earthquake."

The two of them didn't care about anything, they hurriedly got dressed and went out.Lu Lingxi called home while walking, wanting to remind Wang Shuxiu.Before the phone was connected, a huge vibration came from the ground, Lu Lingxi grabbed Yan Yuegang to stand still, and the white panel suddenly floated out and floated in front of him.

Botanical name: Three-level weeping willow

Plant Requirements: None

Plant Viability: very high

Vegetative state: Level [-] peak

To trigger plant evolution conditions, do you choose to evolve?

Lu Lingxi: "..."

"Xiaoxi?" Yan Yue saw that his expression was wrong, and called out in a low voice.

"Maybe it's not an earthquake, but the big willow tree is about to evolve." Lu Lingxi said, looking at Yan Yue, wondering if he should choose to evolve.There are researchers everywhere outside now, just in case... He was still hesitating, when a bigger shock came, and thick roots protruded from the ground, firmly locking the room behind the two of them.

"...not evolution, but earthquake." Yan Yue frowned.

Lu Lingxi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and the lights in the village turned on one by one.Wang Shuxiu's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Xiaoxi, where are you after the earthquake?"

"Mom, we are outside, it is safe now, Dahei warned in advance."

Wang Shuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Feng had already packed the child in his arms, she had no time to say anything, so she hung up the phone hastily.

Knowing that Wang Shuxiu was fine, Lu Lingxi was relieved.The underground vibration was still continuing, Lu Lingxi looked at the white panel floating in front of her, and decisively chose yes.He was worried that the evolution of the big willow tree would attract the attention of the researchers. It would be bad if someone suspected that his and Yan Yue's appearance was too coincidental.But now that there is an earthquake as a cover, no one will suspect that the earthquake is man-made.

As Lu Lingxi chose yes, the white panel changed again.The green reminder faded away, and the entire underground of Fengcheng appeared in front of him.It can be seen from the panel that the roots of the big willow tree have extended again, and have penetrated into the urban area of ​​Fengcheng, entangled with the roots of the willow tree underground in Fengcheng.

A green font appeared, "The evolution of the fourth-level weeping willow is completed, and the willow ecological community is extended into a standard city unit. The reward is +20000 for the heart of plants and +20 for the power of nature."

Before Lu Lingxi could express his surprise, another line of green characters appeared, "Collect [-] plant hearts, purify a standard ecological city, meet the system upgrade standards, and evolve the system into the heart of the planet."

The green characters disappeared in the air, and light blue rays of light emanated from Lu Lingxi's body, gradually condensing into a football-sized blue ball of light in the air.

Lu Lingxi looked at the ball of light in surprise, and Yan Yue suddenly asked, "What is this?"

"Brother Yan, can you see it?"

Yan Yue: "..."

Lu Lingxi calmed down, "It's so beautiful."

The ball of light in front of him exudes a shining light blue light. The inside of the ball of light is not static, and countless colorful dots flow around, like a colorful galaxy.In the center of the light sphere is a world the size of a fist, in which the four seasons evolve and everything grows, which truly simulates the operation of the world.

Lu Lingxi carefully stretched out his hand to touch the light ball in front of him, the light ball spread out again, the colorful light spots re-entered his body, and the small world in the center slowly sank into the ground in front of him.Lu Lingxi grabbed Yan Yue and closed her eyes, a mysterious feeling lingered in their hearts.They seemed to hear the sound of water flowing through the ground, soaking the land.Green grass is starting to sprout and colorful flowers are blooming all around.The water flows through many places, from plateaus to basins, from valleys to deserts, the whole planet seems to be slowly waking up, and the chronic diseases of human activities are slowly being healed.The world came to life again, to a healthy life.

The two of them opened their eyes again, the sky was already bright, and the golden morning sun jumped out of the sky.As the rays of light fell, Lu Lingxi always felt that something had changed, but she couldn't feel it clearly for a while.Yan Yue held his hand tightly, the two of them clasped their fingers together and laughed at the same time.

In the middle of the night, the underground vibrations stopped long ago, and the outside became calm again.Lu Lingxi called home and found out that nothing happened, the baby slept soundly all night, and didn't even feel their tossing.In the morning, he and Yan Yue went to Uncle Li's house for dinner and found out that the earthquake detection in Fengcheng last night belonged to level [-], but because the roots of the big willow tree slowed down the vibration, the tremor felt was less than level [-].It is said that there were no casualties in the entire Fengcheng, and the economic loss was very small. Only a few dilapidated houses collapsed.

After the earthquake, the big willow tree was promoted to the altar, but all this has nothing to do with Lu Lingxi.

He and Yan Yue's life is the same as before, Wei Gardening, Lingshui Village, home, three o'clock a circle, and occasionally visit Qiutian Flower Garden.Zhugang, Kupaiba gum tree, and the evolved begonia, the micro-horticulture technology company under the two people's name is developing smoothly, and the past that once troubled them has gone.Whether it is the Hepuyan family or the Zhongjing Lu family, they have gradually faded out of the media's attention and completely stayed away from their lives.

Three months later, New Year's Eve.

Lu Lingxi's family gathered together lively.Wang Shuxiu hugged the baby and Zhou Xiaoman sat in the living room watching TV while waiting for dinner, Xiao Feng and Xiao Hong were busy in the kitchen, Yan Yue led Lu Lingxi and stood in the courtyard to set off fireworks.

砰

The sky full of stars exploded in mid-air, and countless brilliant light spots scattered like starlight.Lu Lingxi quickly stepped on her feet and kissed Yan Yue.The corners of Yan Yue's lips curled up, he unbuttoned his jacket and hugged Lu Lingxi in his arms.

"Xiaoxi, I love you."

"I know, Brother Yan, I love you too."

The figures of the two merged into one, and happiness was frozen at this moment.
