Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 1973: The Ideal of Innocence
“Didi! ”
Li Yao was like responding to the call of two little guys, the indicator light flashed in a hurry, the chainsaw that had been used to trim the flower grass, waving lightly.
“Wonderful! ”
Hunter Mo wiped his fist, confident a hundred times, “I was broken through by the super strong arc, fixed to recover a little, and got this mysterious and unpredictable spiritual energy puppet ‘demonic star’, these are great auspicious signs, Master, you can rest assured, this‘ great gift 'must be fine, we will still return as in previous years, full load! ”
Gu Zhengyang's smile darkened for a moment of silence, slowly spitting out a cloudy airway: “Regarding this‘ Tian Chi Da ', I have handed over command to Captain Zhao, who is solely responsible for it. ”
“What!”
The two little guys were stunned at the same time, Hunter said, “Master, how can you give command to Zhao Li? Everyone knows that he is ambitious and doesn't want to grab power from Ben all the time and replace you! Now Zhao Li already has a group of party feathers in the village, the power is bigger every day than every day. If he is entrusted with such an important task as the" Great Festival of God ", he will surely take the opportunity to gather power, buy people's hearts, weaken your strength, and finally ride on our necks! ”
“That's right, Dad. ”
Glass also said worried, “Uncle Zhao and your conflict is more intense than a day. Just now outside, Zhao Chong deliberately sought out the trouble of his brother, wrongfully we want to hide materials, it is absolutely abominable. ”
“I know Master Sulu came to his home with kindness and a big focus. ”
Hunter bit his teeth, “But at this time, if you give in, people will just think we're weak and bully, getting more and more slippery on the nose, riding on our heads and shining! ”
Gu Zhengyang slightly coughed a few times, "You should know that I am not a man of power, let alone the mayor of a large village of thousands of people in the district, there is no ‘power’, Zhao Li can take it if he wants. ”
“How is that possible? ”
The two little guys were in a hurry, and Hunter opened his eyes and said, "Master, it's not the village chief's business. Don't you always disagree with Zhao Li's idea that he is too harsh and aggressive to bring disaster to Taiping City Village? If he really becomes the village chief, then Taiping Township will become a gang of bandits, within hundreds of miles of each other, will need four swordmen, there will never be a day of peace! ”
“Yes, Dad, your illness is only temporary, you should...”
Glass swept Li Yao and said with great certainty, "It's going to be all right! ”
“This has nothing to do with my illness. ”
Gu Zhengyang gave a cold expression, gently rubbing his golden ear, sighing in his breath, “Glass, your mother has been gone for four years. ”
Glass was slightly flat and didn't understand what Father meant.
“Your mother was a very naive woman. When I first met her, she was just as old as you. ”
Gu Zhengyang sat on the field monopoly, smelled the clear scent of ears, and fell into a distant memory, "At that time I had just fallen out of the sky, my brain was blank, I had lost all my memories of the past, I only remembered a large number of geniuses used to kill and destroy, those things were like a great swirl, spinning wildly in my mind, turning me into a horrible and overwhelmed beast.
“At that time, Taiping Castle had only one big ferrous hull boat, hundreds of people, far less large than today, even this greenhouse where we are now, is just a small corner, planted with a few twisted and twisted plants, like a wood stick.
“At that time, I, like a lonely wild ghost, had wandered the ruined city for months, and the whole world I had seen was nothing but darkness, blood, killing, betrayal and destruction. Occasionally, several plants could be found in the cracks and dark corners of the ruins, either sprayed with a fiercely stinking poisonous vine or sprayed with corrosive liquid with super acidity, but I had never seen anything so vibrant and hopeful.
“I was shocked to see a handful of golden plants, and I asked the little girl who was waiting for her carefully, what was this?
“She told me that it was a 'golden harvest', a kind of 'crop' that could save the whole evil earth, so that all sinners on top of it would no longer be killed, and you would die my living treasure.
“She said that just because the land is barren and grassy, people are uncovered and hungry, only Eye Baba can rely on sky tracks to throw rescue materials down. In order to compete for rescue materials, a glimmer of hope for survival will be fought all the time, from man to beast.
“If we can have a crop that can thrive on contaminated and irradiated barren land and give everyone enough to eat, then we don't have to wait for relief on the tracks to live, we don't have to be hostile to each other, we have to be vigilant to each other and bite and eat each other like hungry wild dogs! ”
Hunter and Glass could not help but hold each other's hands.
Glass eyes sparkled with crystalline tears, softly said: “My mother is right, if Jin Zheng can really grow a whole lot of sin and turn barren land into a golden field, then there will be no quarrel, no bloodshed, no killing each other, no gangs and thugs like beasts, even ourselves... we will not have to become a beast. ”
Gu Zhengyang grinned and laughed with tenderness and bitterness, muttering: “Yes, she was right, she was a naive and weak little girl, but when she said this, her eyes seemed to be hiding a sword, which made me, an adventurer who had been wandering through the ruined city for months, dare not look directly into her eyes.
“I was seduced by the scene she described, and I stayed, turning Taiping Castle from an iron crust ship into fifteen, and with her, opening the greenhouse from the small corner at the end of the hatch to occupying half the deck today, even before she left, holding her hand, and I swear that one day, I will make the whole earth grow!
“But now, I'm increasingly wondering if the images we envision will ever come true. ”
Gu Zhengyang inserted his ten fingers into his hair, like being pressed out of his back by the burden of life and sending a painful groan.
“Master, everything is going well, we will surely achieve our master's ideal of planting gold all over the earth! ”
Hant clenched his fist and raised his voice, “Don't give up hope! ”
“But… I really don't see where hope is. ”
Gu Zhengyang exclaimed, “For the past few decades, I have been practicing wildly to protect Taiping Town Village, killing around, accumulating countless dark wounds already. This time it erupted, causing me to suffer a serious illness, repair it to continue falling, can't even barely sustain it - this is something I could have predicted long ago, and I am already satisfied with it to this day.
“But the 63rd transplant of Jinxi still failed. This is the crop that you and I have carefully selected, the most drought-resistant, radioactive and polluting crop, still cannot survive outside the radiation zone, even if it is just out of the village, the yield is so scary that it does not satisfy the appetite of an ordinary person at all.
“There are all kinds of bloody radiation mutants to harass, destroy the test fields that we have worked so hard to build, and consume a lot of human and material resources to resist, and counting, how can this account be counted?
“So when I was sick and confused, looking at the rusty ceiling, the ghost always made me wonder, is this road between me and your master not going to work? Can we really sow the gold and soothe all the strife over it? Am I right, or is Zhao Li's choice the wisest and most correct? ”
“Dad!”
“Master! ”
Two little guys became more and more anxious, one holding Gu Zhengyang's arm, desperately trying to transmit his young and hot power to a sick and lonely middle-aged man, “Of course you're right, don't be discouraged, try again ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, one day, we will succeed! ”
“But we're out of supplies and time. ”
Gu Zhengyang Cold Road, “One thing Zhao Li is not wrong, today Taiping Township has reached the limit of expansion, in a very embarrassing situation.
“The calm and high speed of development over the past 120 years has increased the population of Taiping Castle by twenty to thirty times. In addition to adults who have come from all sides, there are many children born in villages, and for every additional person, there is one more bottomless hole that will never be filled.
“No matter how desperate we are to explore and rob, the materials in the warehouse will never be enough. Even if we can still grab enough supplies at the" Tian Chi Festival "this year, it is not a long-term plan. I really don't know how we can survive if the population of the village doubles again, even if it increases by only 50%, in the next 35 or 10 years, we will not have to be beaten by anyone else. We will be divided and the civil struggle will continue. ”
The two little guys went silent, and Hunter held his breath for half a day: “As long as Master's illness quickly gets better and restores the strength of the old days, there's nothing wrong with that! ”
“Silly boy. ”
Gu Zhengyang stretched out his rough hand and rubbed Hunt's hair, grinning bitterly, “After all, Master is old, it is impossible to guard Taiping City Village forever. Even when I can stand up, Taiping City Village can always operate according to my rules, but when I eventually fall down, will Taiping City Village instantly become like other villages, even like the 'Blood Wars World' gangs?
“When I think of a scene like that, my heart hurts and I can't sleep at night.
“If this is the inevitable outcome, then, while I still have some strength, I should consult with Zhao Lei on the way out of the village, take a step back and set some rules that we can barely accept each other.
“As for the more distant future, it's up to you, to Glass, to your new generation to work hard! ”
