Plants vs. Zombies

The plan for a year lies in spring. In the past, for the villagers in the small village of Pancio, getting a bumper harvest at the "Mist Harvesting Festival" at the end of February was the best way to guarantee a "prosperous" life this year. omen.

Of course, what people collect at the "Fog Harvesting Festival" is not the illusory, invisible, invisible fog, but a kind of "algae" called "green fog egg" floating in the fog, which appears in dense fog and is not The egg-shaped plankton floating in the air has high medicinal value and is the main ingredient in the medicine for treating tuberculosis. Ordinary green "green fog eggs" can be sold for a copper coin per plant, while the highest-grade dark "green egg" Fog eggs can fetch as much as a silver coin.

Because there are very few places where this kind of "algae" grows, and this kind of creature will only appear in the early morning when the spring is thick and foggy, so although the price is quite high, many drug dealers send mercenary groups to buy it every year .

However, in the early spring morning when the winter snow has not yet melted, it is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing to hold a torch, an oil lamp and a net bag in the humid mist to look for the "algae" floating in the air. .So after the villagers of Pancio Village prospered by planting peas and other plants, few people collected these things anymore.

But last year, the village head may have wanted to protect the cultural traditions of the village, or he hoped that the villagers would not forget the hard work of the past (Liu Dingjia privately thought that the village head was most likely to be lured by businessmen who could not purchase medicinal materials), After the three-year fog-collecting festival was abandoned, they suddenly called on the villagers to hold the "fog-collecting festival" again, calling on everyone to gather "green fog eggs" in the wilderness outside the village on the last day of February.

And this year is the second year since the "Fog Harvesting Festival" was resumed. On the first day Liu Dingjia returned to the space, she agreed with Linda that she would wind up on the tall big sky the day before the "Mist Harvesting Festival". The flowers of the lantern flower on the tree were picked so that he could move them to the front store for sale that night.

Compared with the torches and oil lamps that may be extinguished by the fog at any time, the lantern flowers sold by Liu Dingjia are more popular among people.What's more, these beautiful lanterns emit a faint fragrance of flowers while shining, which naturally makes girls love it.At last year's Fog Harvesting Festival, many boys bought lantern flowers from Liu Dingjia and gave them to girls as confession gifts.

Therefore, this year, when Liu Dingjia took out the lantern flowers, many people were already waiting there, and Karisu was the first to rush over, announcing that these lantern flowers Others are eligible to buy it only after he has selected it.

There was a lot of noise for a while, until the young and serious shopkeeper Man slapped the table viciously, and the villagers calmed down.

"Kang Ji, show me the lantern flower you are holding in your left hand." Carisu walked to Liu Dingjia's side, and ordered without politeness.

"Okay, uncle." Liu Dingjia followed his words, like a wronged junior, handed the lantern flower in his left hand to Kalisu: "Is it this, uncle?"

"That's right." Kalisu took the lantern flower in his hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly frowned, "Is there no better one?"

"No, this is already the most beautiful uncle." Liu Dingjia said pitifully.

After hearing his nephew's answer, Carisu gave him a very dissatisfied look, then turned around and left with the lantern flower - Liu Dingjia guessed that he was going to give this to Miss Anna who was temporarily staying at Uncle Holden's house.

"Why is Kalisu still so mean to you?" After the lantern flowers brought out by Liu Dingjia were sold out, the villagers all left one after another, and only the mercenaries were left in the shop drinking. He raised his head and asked Liu Dingjia.

What can Liu Dingjia say?This Karisu was like a local ruffian.Ten years ago, when he came back from Anxina, he used the money from "selling" sunflowers to set up a teleportation array not far from his house, which raised his property, but he never expected to lure out Kang Ji's uncle who had been missing for a long time. .

The uncle came with an official with him, and as soon as he arrived at Liu Dingjia's door, he declared that Kang Ji was not his elder brother's son, but adopted.According to the "Third Agreement of the Otto Empire", adopted children who have not fulfilled their obligation to support their adoptive parents cannot inherit the family land. Karisu actually asked Liu Dingjia to get out of his elder brother's house immediately.

When Liu Dingjia saw Carisu, he thought of what Aunt Daniya had mentioned about the fact that before the real Kang Ji appeared, the last person he saw was Carisu.

Looking at the aggressive and menacing appearance of Karisu, who claimed to be the legal heir of this land, Liu Dingjia could not imagine that he used such an expression to force Kang Ji who had just lost his family.Maybe, before Kalisu told the truth, the withdrawn boy didn't even know he wasn't old Cudi's son.Compared with losing land and houses and other external things, I am afraid that the revelation of his life experience is the last straw that crushes this poor child.

How did Kang Ji disappear?Or to put it simply, how he died is self-evident!

After a little bit of testing by Liu Dingjia, the truth about Kang Ji's death was found out.Liu Dingjia couldn't help being very angry, he couldn't hold back, let the sprite ※ clone who was following him strip and eat Calisu, and then turned into his appearance and stayed by Liu Dingjia's side all the time.

In order not to make others suspicious, he also specifically requested that the sprite that had turned into a carisu be a little more aggressive and indifferent to him in front of people.

In the end, it caused a "misunderstanding" from people like Man who really cared about Kang Ji.

Liu Dingjia shrugged and did not answer Man's question, but took out two carefully selected lantern flowers from behind the door and placed them in front of Man on the counter:

"Man, I have a holiday tomorrow morning, so you don't need to come here—I carefully picked out these two lantern flowers, one for you, and the other... Well, for Pastor Puckett, you tell him that last year it was because of thanking them The master and apprentice cured my lame leg, so the lantern flowers are given away for free, but this year there will be a charge - you must squeeze at least 5 silver coins from him. Of course, you have to carry Shae behind your back. Don't let her know, or I will be miserable."

(Liu Dingjia: Oh, you asked me why I carried Shae on my back? o(︶︿︶)o It’s God’s will to deceive people. Head Bernie, who was pursuing Shae with all his heart, worked hard and reserved for many years but still failed to embrace the beauty. Instead, Puckett, who stayed in the village for half a month to take care of the patients, took the lead.If it weren't for the nobles' tradition that both parties must reach the age of 75 to get married, Man would have already become the brother-in-law of the chief priest of the Ives Mercenary Corps! )

"I know, you're the one with the most crazy ideas." Man smiled, and took the lantern flower.But Man did not throw away the topic just now. On the contrary, after putting the lantern flowers away, he turned around and said to Liu Dingjia seriously with a straight face: "You really don't think about leaving here, and go to another place." Open a hotel to be self-reliant——Although the location here is good, the goods in the store are obviously gifted to you by your friends, but now they have become the property of Kalisu.” In the end, even if the indifference I can't help but feel worthless and wronged for my childhood playmate.

But Liu Dingjia could only smile awkwardly, without any excuse, and there was no way to explain it, and finally had to pretend to be sad and replied with a bitter face: "Uncle Carisu is very good to me now, and... I don't want to leave Dad and the others Leave it to my home."

"I really don't understand you, alas..." Man shook his head, sighed, and stopped discussing this topic with Liu Dingjia, but threw himself on his old buddy—Mr. Ledger.

In the early hours of the next day, not only the villagers of Pancio, but also the mercenaries temporarily staying in Liu Dingjia's hotel ran to the wilderness outside the village to participate in the annual "Mist Harvesting Festival".

But Liu Dingjia was still sleeping at that time, and he never thought about getting up early in the morning and running out to suffer from the cold—this kind of self-abuse behavior of going out to catch "eggs" in the early morning of the cold weather, he would never do it .

He was so fortunate to complete the whole month's school hours to get the vacation. Of course, he must seize the time to catch up on sleep, and a few late-night sleeps will be enough!

What's more, after he gets up from bed, there is still work to be done every month-checking the ledger is waiting for him.

Because during the holiday last month, Liu Dingjia was arrested by his mentor Xie Peilun to copy an ancient book, so the workload of last month was delayed to this month.On the other hand, Jameson brought back the account books of several "Xu's Botanical Gardens" opened in Aobei - due to political reasons, the account books of these stores can only be reconciled with Liu Dingjia once every six months, so When several large ledgers were piled up in front of Liu Dingjia, who was not born as an accountant, it was really a lot of work.

Liu Dingjia even thought about hiring an accountant directly in the space to help him settle accounts, but in the end he didn't have the guts to do it.Now, even if he has the guts to let one more person know Xu Wenqiang's secret, Jameson, a man who is becoming more and more sloppy and talkative, will definitely try his best to prevent him from doing such stupid things.

So early in the morning, Liu Dingjia woke up from his sleep and opened a pair of hazy eyes amidst the cries of "one, two, three, five, six, seven..." coffee beans.When he was squatting by the pool to wash, the plants doing morning exercises were doing the same as usual every day, and at the same time made the last movement of the "chest expansion exercise" like "bending a bow and shooting a big eagle" at his master—— — This is why Liu Dingjia still refuses to anthropomorphize the cattail archer. He is afraid that one morning he will be "shot" through by an arrow while washing the brush!

To Liu Dingjia's surprise, when he settled the accounts in the afternoon, when he took out an account book from Aobei, a piece of letter paper floated out of the account book and fell on the table.

Liu Dingjia picked up the letterhead, glanced at the content above, and then only the four words "Haibi Qicrime" were left shining in his mind-according to the letterhead, the eight most powerful countries in northern Aobei It has been decided to form a coalition army commanded by Earl Henry, the husband of Princess Mira, a beauty of the first generation, and launch a border war when the Erduo River is blocked this fall and next spring.And they have only one goal for such a costly attack: to occupy the "land of peas"? !

And the person who wrote this informant letter turned out to be the chef of Princess Mira’s house—a patriotic expatriate who moved to Aobei for more than 60 years, but was still sincere to his motherland. Employees of the Botanical Garden stuffed the letter into the ledger sent to Otto.

"Sigh, I never thought that in this life, I would have the opportunity to face the invasion of the 'Eight-Power Allied Forces'..." Liu Dingjia looked at the creamy yellow letterhead, feeling powerless.He couldn't figure out why these countries still had time to play aggression and engage in "internal struggle" under the tense atmosphere that he deliberately created the second undead war was about to break out-is there really no problem?Although Aodong did not do it properly, and directly banned researchers from the other two continents from entering Pancio Village, but Aobei would not jump the wall in such a hurry that he would start a war directly, right?In previous years, it was not that there was no sneaking* to send spies into the village of Pancio to steal soil samples...

Powerless and helpless, Liu Dingjia took an envelope and stuffed the letterhead into it, and then shouted to the noisy plants outside the door: "Then whoever runs fast, send me a letter to the city of Ansina."

"Who is it for?" The "who" who was running fast - Hot Pepper with red hair appeared in front of Liu Dingjia and asked.

"Any nobleman... Well, it should be the Patriarch of the Creeksu Family, I think he is more reliable than the City Master—remember to send this letter in the name of Brother Qiang." Liu Dingjia thought for a while, and said, "Go quickly!" Come back quickly."

"Okay." Hot Pepper nodded and disappeared from Liu Dingjia in the blink of an eye.

After Hot Pepper left with the envelope, Liu Dingjia couldn't calm down to deal with the accounting matters for a while because of the content on the letterhead. From time to time, he would think about the "Eight-Power Allied Forces". On the contrary, people are so irritable that they can't read the account book at all.

"The Eight-Nation Allied Forces are really terrible!"

Liu Dingjia stood up, walked out of the room, looked at the lush greenery outside, and felt a little more relaxed.

But at this moment, Liu Dingjia glanced and saw that the pea boys that Jameson specifically mentioned a few days ago were sneakily wanting to leave the space and go outside.Thinking of what these guys were trying to do by sneaking out, Liu Dingjia suddenly became furious. With a finger pointing, he cast out a spell of space confinement, and directly fixed those peas in place.

"What are you guys going to do?" Liu Dingjia asked with triangular eyes, angrily rushing to the Peas, looking at them one by one, and finally snorted.

"Report to the boss, we... let's go for convenience..." The boss of the pea triplets lied with erratic eyes.

"Convenience?" Liu Dingjia raised his eyebrows.

"Wrong, I'm going to make instant noodles..." Hearing the "slip of the tongue" made by the boss, the second child hurriedly "corrected".

"Instant noodles???" Liu Dingjia's voice suddenly turned up half a slope - this is to piss him off, these guys don't even know how to lie and want to run out to form some kind of mercenary group, this is to go out to fight World of Warcraft Or send vegetables and food to Warcraft? ! !

"Ice Shooter!!!" Liu Dingjia gave the peas in front of him a hard look, and then yelled at the newly opened field outside the yard.After a while, I saw the Ice Archer who was chatting with the Ice Mushroom running over cursingly, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Your brother said he wants to eat instant noodles, and then he has to go out for convenience!" Liu Dingjia said viciously, "Come and help them!"

What are you helping?Where did the instant noodles come from here?Plants are convenient for a ball of yarn?

The ice shooter curled his lips angrily, walked across to Liu Dingjia, and a pea boy kicked him on the buttocks: "Quickly lower your head and admit your mistakes to our beloved master Liu Dingjia, and swear that you will be goodgoodstudy, daydayup, and never lie again for the rest of your life." ——If you lie again, all the leaves on your head will be rotten!"

"Ah, boss, this oath is too cruel!"

"Boil the beans and burn the Osmunda, Brother Hanbing!"

"Why should Pea make things difficult for Pea?"

"I don't want the leaves to be rotten..."

"What are you guys arguing about?" Jameson, who had just entered the space, walked over when he heard the noise.He looked at the pea shooter with his two small hands tightly covering his head, and his big eyes kept dripping tears, and he stretched out his hand in great sympathy.Touched the head of the latest anthropomorphic Pea Boy in this space, then looked at Liu Dingjia and Ice Shooter with fierce faces: "Why are you bullying children?"

"I didn't..." Liu Dingjia was about to explain, but he didn't expect that the ice shooter next to him had already crackled a lot of "reasons", which roughly meant "it's the fault of a son who is not filial to his father", "an elder brother is like a father and a sister-in-law" Like a mother", "It's none of your business for me to discipline my brother", I saw his blue mouth opening and closing, talking nonsense wherever he went.

Jameson couldn't bear it anymore, he punched the ice shooter on the head with his fist, and then said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, the ice mushroom is looking for you."

"Oh? Really?" The ice shooter who was about to get angry when he heard that the ice mushroom was looking for him, immediately thanked Jameson with a sunny face, and then happily ran towards the ice mushroom. .

"Okay, Jameson, you have a good way of dealing with my children? One fist and one candied date." Liu Dingjia said to Jameson with a half-smile.

"Don't be jealous—learn from me, it's the most effective way to deal with children!" Jameson pinched Peashooter's soft and smooth face, making the little guy who was crying silently cry immediately out.

Liu Dingjia, who was still "praising" the other party for his ability to deal with children, immediately became speechless, shook his head, and sighed, feeling that this man has the "talent" to be a rascal.

Seeing that the ice shooter had run away, Liu Dingjia didn't bother with the little Pea Boys anymore - anyway, he just lost his temper, and now he was in a better mood, so he waved his hands to let these boys stay and play obediently.

"What is it that made you trouble those plants? Don't you usually spoil and indulge them?" Jameson noticed that Liu Dingjia was in a bad mood today, so he asked.

"Don't mention it," Liu Dingjia felt powerless when he thought of the "Eight-Nation Allied Forces", "There is a piece of letterhead in the ledger you sent over, which says that the eight powers from Aobei will attack Pancio Village this autumn. .”

"Then do you want to make a move? Just let the plants Aobei bought from you go into hibernation to scare them?" Jameson suggested half-jokingly.

"Don't tell me, I really want to do this." Liu Dingjia said seriously.

"You must not do this!" Unexpectedly, Jameson immediately rejected the "suggestion" he just made, saying, "If you don't want Xu Wenqiang to become a thorn in everyone's eyes, you must not do this."

"Why?" Liu Dingjia was puzzled.

"Ask why!" Liu Dingjia didn't expect that he didn't know why, and Jameson reached out and knocked him on the head in anger, "Aren't you telling those kings and nobles that these plants Although it is planted on their land, it is controlled by you—Xu Wenqiang, you said they will continue to plant these plants with such peace of mind, won't they think of going to other places?"

"Don't think that you will be flattered because you are being sought after and praised by everyone, be careful and you will die without knowing how to die!" Jameson finally warned with hatred.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Dingjia muttered, feeling very wronged, "That's the Eight-Power Allied Forces, not just one or two small frontier countries. If Odong didn't resist the invasion, Pancio Village would be reduced to a colony. !"

He didn't want to die under the iron cavalry of the Aobei Eight-Power Allied Forces instead of being killed by the undead master George/Edgar. This is so frustrating!

The author has something to say: I read the comments of Lost Pro, and after thinking about it, it seems that 3000 for a chapter is indeed a little less, so I want to work harder in the future, and try to keep it at 5000-7000 for a chapter, so please don’t dislike it
