Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 337 Ambition——————————————————

The coast is mostly sandy and muddy, and there are also forests.However, in these woods, the trees are tall and tall, but there are not many shrubs and weeds under the trees, but there are quite a few seaweeds thrown up by the ebb and flow, which are spread on the ground to dry.Walking among them, you can see the lush mountains and forests in the hinterland of the island in front, and the endless ocean in the back, which is quite open.

After going deeper into the island, the vegetation gradually became more complicated; when entering the jungle, the vines began to become entangled and the aerial roots intertwined.

The young couple first went to the place where Su Mi watched the sunrise—although the sunrise had already been missed, the scenery here did not go away.The left and right mountain gorge stands quietly, firmly embracing the blue deep bay; there are countless seabirds perched on the cliff, with white feathers and red beaks, gliding busily across the sky; in the distance, occasionally fish jump up, smashing circles of water waves; Coupled with the blue sea and sky in the farthest eyes... what can catch Su Mi's eyes is indeed a beautiful scenery!

Jiang Ling smelled the salty smell in the sea breeze, took a deep breath, couldn't help turning her feet, facing the direction of the wind, and opened her arms.

Jiang Ling is no stranger to the smell of the sea breeze: she grew up in a seaside city, and has many opportunities to go to the rural beaches in the suburbs.But on a planet that is not called "Earth", it is the first time that the sea breeze blows on a deserted island covered by primeval jungle.So at this moment, Jiang Ling couldn't help feeling a different kind of novel pleasure - this made Jiang Ling vaguely understand why Su Mi and Su Mo like to drive starships and play everywhere!
Really enjoyable!
And Dongming has seen the sea before, and is even familiar with it, but he has never enjoyed the sea: he needs it for training.So at this time, Dongming saw Jiang Ling turn around and tried it out, and then Dongming couldn't help smiling—it turns out that the sea breeze still has to blow head-on to be happy!
But at this moment, Jiang Ling shrank suddenly, and sighed angrily: For some reason, she suddenly remembered "Titanic", the scene where the heroine was at the bow... There is no doubt that this is a scene that was doubled due to flooding. The idiot's classic action!
But Dongming didn't know.But Dongming was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is it cold?" It's not like that!

Jiang Ling shook her head and turned away from the movie - what a tragedy!Great tragedy!Tragic through and through!Because the ship sank, the hero died, and the heroine didn't go home: this move seemed to be a pursuit of freedom and chic, but in that era, women had no social status, and life was difficult for single young girls!
So Jiang Ling regarded the memory of that movie as an ominous sign.Fortunately, it is clear that Wushan Island will not be sunk by an iceberg.However, in order to get rid of this bad feeling, Jiang Ling still leaned in front of Dongming, glanced at the others, picked a safe angle, and kissed Dongming.

Dongming was taken aback by surprise: They are too familiar with each other, so there is no need to ask about this appearance, he also knows that Jiang Ling has thought of something unpleasant and treats him as candy... But, only he can treat this "candy".So Dongming was not angry, and immediately turned around halfway with a smile, grabbed Jiang Ling, kissed back, stroked each other's cheeks, and kissed Jiang Ling again.

Dongming is already very experienced in this situation—Jiang Ling doesn't care about kissing in the street, provided that there is no one else on the street except the two of them...

Sure enough, as long as others couldn't see it, Jiang Ling would relax, regardless of the time and place.Dongming tasted the sweetness, and couldn't help but tighten his arms, turning the light kiss into a deep kiss.And Jiang Ling put his hand into Dongming's coat, hugging Dongming's warm body comfortably through a thin layer of close-fitting training clothes, happily forgetting about a certain tragic movie rear.

So these two guys who only invited three guests to the wedding banquet, and the rings were replaced after marriage, hugged and kissed in public on this cliff near the sea.

In fact, it is not considered public, because there is no audience: the attendants will not be rude, even if Dongming does not block the line of sight with his body, they will not look at it; and although Wei Yi and Lucius are not like Su Misumer So well-trained, but they're well-trained in etiquette and knowledgeable about it.

The only one who can be curious and stare is only the grand duke’s second son, Qiao Ya—but he is still a half-grown boy, not tall enough, blocked by Dongming and pulled aside by his elder brother, he just looks at everything gone...

……

After leaving the sea cliff, when the group trekked back to the island, the atmosphere was quite good.The small group of six attendants who came out today happened to be older than Jiang Ling and Dong Mingian.They saw that the young couple had a good relationship, and they smiled at each other, even a little lovingly.Wei Yi and Lu Xiusi are even more happy to see this, because the saying "family and everything prosper" is not for nothing. Although they and Jiang Ling are not considered a family, only Jiang Ling lives smoothly. Seek what you want, and you will have a chance.And Bray, the Grand Duke's eldest son, even took the opportunity to chat with the young couple.

The Grand Duke said that he wanted them to be tour guides, but in fact he just hoped that they could have some relationship with this group of "extraterrestrial visitors".One, gain more knowledge, and even gain some benefits; two, of course, we can't contact each other at ordinary times, but in case something happens, it may be a way - after all, Weiai's situation is special, and there will be starships visiting from time to time.And those starships were of all kinds, but none of them looked like big diamonds.The Grand Duke trusted his own eyesight.In addition, although Su Mi and Su Mo have a bad temper, they keep their promises, which is reasonable...

This is a good friend!
Therefore, Bray saw the opportunity and tried his best to chat with the young couple.

However, their living backgrounds were too different after all, so Bray had to talk about some safety topics: food, scenery, hunting, and so on.Beauty, treasures, family history and traditions, I dare not touch on such topics, for fear of being left alone.What's more, Su Mo paid the reward this time with treasures. Although Bray didn't see all of them, he also counted most of them with the Grand Duke.Aristocratic children do not necessarily mean dudes, at least it is not so easy to be the head of the family, and it is not so easy to inherit a prestigious title—so when it comes to the topic of treasures, Bray can't help but feel guilty: just take such jewels as Qianshi, will there be less of the unused part?

Deep down, Bray couldn't accept the fact that, to Sumer, those diamond gems were money, not jewelry.

The atmosphere of the conversation was extra relaxed and happy under the deliberate control of the future Grand Duke.When the attendant reminded them that they had to change their clothes before entering the jungle, Bray had successfully recommended his three favorite famous dishes to the young couple, and introduced the four most ferocious beasts on the mainland——Jiang Ling was purely The tour guide's speech sounds novel and interesting; as for Dongming's professional field, he asked more detailed questions about the latter.

Dressup refers to finishing must-have equipment, not clothing.The road in the jungle is not easy to walk, and in some places it is even impossible to get off your feet, so you have to travel when you go in and play.The attendant went to pick up things from the small ship that landed on the ground, and handed a kind of forearm armguard from the wrist to the elbow to the young couple: "It's a pity that there are no wild animals on the island-there are no large animals here, but there are many." Less poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. This is a mecha. This is a serum patch. For safety, why don’t you use a pair in advance?” The last sentence was specially reminded Jiang Ling, because Jiang Ling’s body technique has not passed level nine: no After level nine, if you are bitten by a powerful poison and then use the patch, you will often still have some symptoms of discomfort, you need to rest for a day or two, and use some follow-up medicine or something.These situations can be avoided by using them in advance.

Jiang Ling nodded in response, tore off one and stuck it on the back of his hand. Seeing that Dongming hadn't moved, he glanced at Dongming strangely, tore off another one, took Dongming's hand, and gave Dongming a "snap". Ming posted it.

The entourage smiled and said nothing about it.Dongming smiled, feeling a little sweet in his heart, so he didn't explain.As for Bray and Joya, the other two attendants didn't have that much patience with them—they didn't say a single word, they just put them on the stickers...

It's a pity that Jiang Ling was several times more sensitive than ordinary ninth-level spiritual power users. She noticed that the situation of the two local guests behind her seemed to be different, and turned her head to look in puzzlement.The attendant who introduced things to Jiang Ling quickly went on to introduce the usage of the armguard, which diverted Jiang Ling's attention and caused Jiang Ling to turn around: "This mecha is a new product that has just been released recently, and it has not yet been launched. It is safe. , the operating system is still being debugged and perfected, and some functions may not be very considerate. You can change it into any shape you want. Generally, it is easier to choose the most familiar animal at the beginning. Of course, just a geometric shape is not enough. It can be used for riding, but the shape is not good enough-yes, when I first used it, it was a little slower. Because despite its lightness now, its weight limit is 76 tons without load, we have a silly boy In a hurry, I pressed myself into the mud."

76 tons, there is no hindrance to the masters of the fifth level of gymnastics.Just pressing into the mud, this is a bit embarrassing... It's just embarrassing!So the attendant said it with a smile, and Jiang Ling also laughed when he heard it: "What shape do you choose? It's so interesting!" As he spoke, he stroked the armguard curiously.The material is like jade but not jade, it feels warm and cool to the touch, very comfortable to the touch, and also makes people feel peaceful.Jiang Ling found it quite novel, and immediately held it down with her hands.

At first, the armguard didn't move for a moment, then it suddenly turned into a puddle of "water".This "water" swells, expands, flows down, but does not fall to the ground, and takes shape within two or three seconds—it is a Siberian tiger with colorful stripes and a strong physique.It has sharp minions, fierce eyes, and is lifelike. As soon as it took shape, it pushed itself back on its forelegs, yawned vigorously, shook its huge head, and then slowly turned around and walked towards Jiang Ling... almost Tiger hair!

The entourage who handed the armguard to Jiang Ling suddenly smiled: "Your Excellency is very fast. People with spiritual power use this, and they still have an advantage. Most people just start using it, and they always have to conjure up a few 'four different'." And Dongming originally had a smile on his face, looking at it in a good mood; when he saw Jiang Ling's transformed tiger, he immediately remembered the past, and his heart trembled. The fear of losing but being powerless resurfaced in his heart, and his face froze slightly.

"I'm just impressed by its prototype." Jiang Ling patted "Tiger" on the head jokingly, and turned to show off to Dongming; but as soon as his eyes fell on Dongming's face, he immediately understood, and said immediately: " However, this one seems too short to sit on, so I'd better get another one." Before anyone could say anything, the tiger "melted" away.

This time Jiang Ling thought about it, and replaced it with an authentic steed, complete with saddles and stirrups - this steed has slender limbs and a vigorous appearance, but it looks like a cookie for everyone in Alexander.

Dongming recognized it, glanced at Jiang Ling, touched his mecha, and also turned into a horse.It didn't look like much at first: the neck was thick, and there were two claws over the front hooves.But Dongming took a few glances at "Sweet Cake" while he was busy, and proofread it accordingly, so after a while, "Red Cai" stood in front of everyone as if alive.

Seeing Jiang Ling changing quickly, the attendant nodded secretly.And Wei Yi feels sorry for the tiger.But he observed his words and saw that Jiang Ling was changed because of Dongming, so he remained silent.But Lucius was just looking down at his armguards—as the entourage said, he used it for the first time, and it turned out to be a "four different things"—at this time, he was taking it back and reincarnating it , Seeing Jiang Ling switch easily, he immediately yelled: "Your Excellency, why did you switch? That big cat just now is so majestic!"

Wei Yi immediately glared at Lucius covertly, but in the end Lucius muttered: "Why are you staring at me again!" Small complaint.

Jiang Ling and Dongming had already got on their horses, looked at her two attendants, and smiled without answering.Fortunately, the entourages also activated the mechs one after another at this time, Lucius was distracted, and did not ask any more questions—Su Misumer's entourage had not received this equipment for a few days, what should be used under certain circumstances, I have basically been trained to be familiar with it; but how to use it when going out to play and transport is still jerky, and still retains a bit of novelty.What's more, these people come from several different planets, and the most ferocious animals in their hometowns are naturally different, so everything changes at once, and it is very lively.

Although Bray's movements were much slower, what he produced was also very distinctive: it was one of the four beasts he just introduced, the Diraptor.

This kind of animal runs fast, loves division of labor and cooperation, and steals eggs and young of other animals, hence the name.It is a bit like the Velociraptor that Jiang Ling is familiar with, and its body is about the same size as a pony, but its appearance is completely different from the cute pony - it is a relative of a lizard, a cold-blooded animal!And it runs with two hind paws, and the front paws and a big mouth are responsible for biting and hunting.

With the size of the Jiraptor, it is not difficult to deal with.But it lives in groups seasonally, which is scary.They move in nests in spring and summer, three or four, six or seven; in autumn and winter they gather in groups of thousands or hundreds.Their status and role in Viai's biosphere is comparable to that of wolves on Earth.

As for Joya, he is too young to be able to ride a horse, draw a bow or use a shotgun with a huge recoil, but he can’t, so he hasn’t personally participated in hunting, but has only watched and shot a few small animals under heavy protection. , Lack of intuitive understanding of beasts.So Joya finally made a "white sheep".

This "White Sheep" has a pair of huge horns, but it is majestic and very distinctive - the real white sheep is used in large-scale sacrifices, so Joya is familiar with it.

Before the team set off, Jiang Ling calmed down and carefully moved the "mount" so as not to fall - a real horse walks because the horse walks by itself; and this mecha needs to be controlled by the rider.It's like driving a car or riding a bicycle. Although you can enjoy the roadside scenery calmly when you are proficient, it is not so leisurely when you are a novice.

As a result, Jiang Ling couldn't help releasing his mental power because of his intentions, and happened to "see" Bree nodding his head slightly to Joya, expressing his approval; Brother parallel.

This reminded Jiang Ling of the little guests around Lu Lin before he left the earth.Times have changed, and the situation has been completely different, which can not help but make people feel emotional.

So Jiang Ling half turned around and called the two brothers: "Just now you said that there are hunting in autumn and winter here? It's the same as mine. Tell me about your customs."

*********
The hunt that Jiang Ling is familiar with is the modern version after all.The steps of offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven, earth and mountains have been simplified a lot. Even for the most rigid families, less than one-tenth of them are left.More tourist attractions have changed the taste of these activities - the procedures have probably remained the same, but the things used...

Obviously, the ancient commoners went to the mountains in autumn and winter for meat and fur, and for survival.In the sacrifices before departure, one prayed for peace, and the other hoped for harvest.The hunting between the emperor and the officials of the frontier was either to test the character of the family's children, or to show off their might and frighten the envoys of the neighboring country.

The former focuses on piety, while the latter focuses on prestige.

In that tourist attraction, use that plastic flag to stick up...

All of a sudden it's all wrong!
However, the sacrifices that the Grand Duke's family must perform before the annual hunting, as one of the grandest ceremonies in its vast territory, and as a testimony to the long history of its family, are quite complicated and still retain the original flavor—— In short, it's troublesome to prepare, but fun to watch.It's early spring now, the season is wrong, there's nothing to watch, but it's good to listen to.

……

"You still have to go to auspicious animals after dancing?" It's white animals—poor domestic animals with albinism!Jiang Ling was very interested, but also a little dumbfounded: "This is rare, so what if you can't find it?"

These words were probably a little ominous, and Bree looked embarrassed for a while.Qiao Ya said bluntly: "How come, our family territory is so big, there are countless cattle and sheep, and we can find auspicious animals every year." The words were quite proud.

Bree quickly took a look at Jiang Ling's expression.And Jiang Ling didn't feel bad for Qiao Ya's frankness, and didn't think it was ridicule at all, so she asked Qiao Ya with a smile, "It sounds like you like hunting?"

"It's okay, I like fencing more." Joya waved his hand, "The one who likes to hunt is Bray. Right, brother?"

"That's right." Buley nodded, took a deep breath, looked straight into Jiang Ling's eyes, and said, "Speaking of which, the land on this island is fertile. Although there are no large animals, they can be stocked by boat. So for three to five years , They will multiply. It will be a great pleasure to think about it when the time comes."

This is not without reason.So Jiang Ling was startled for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.Dongming also turned his head and took an extra look at Bray.But different from Jiang Ling's simple surprise, Dongming's glance implied a warning - he actually planned to use Jiang Ling... Is it tolerable or unbearable? !
Jiang Ling suddenly smiled, turned around, continued to walk slowly, seemingly casually said: "The Grand Duke's territory has plains and forests, it is vast and produces a lot, there is no shortage of food and minerals, and the population is also large... However However, it is deep in the hinterland of the main continent, and there is no coast, let alone a good deep-water port. It seems that it is not so easy for you to open up a hunting ground here."

Bray replied calmly, but his eyes were shining brightly: "It's very simple - find the cooperation of the Haiyan family; or, simply expand the territory and open a thoroughfare connecting Nanping City and the sea!"

Jiang Ling smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "Your ambition is not small."

This is nonsense.However, Jiang Ling's voice made people unable to hear anger or anger. Joya glanced at Bray worriedly, and Bray looked at Jiang Ling's side face, and was secretly surprised: the previous contact made him think that Jiang Ling was very talkative, but he didn't expect When it comes to sensitive issues, Jiang Ling also makes it hard to see the depth... But at this time, the arrow is on the string and has to be released, and Bray can only continue: "However, there is a difficulty in this matter, and I can't think of a solution. "

Before Jiang Ling could answer, Wei Yi from behind snorted coldly: No matter whether Jiang Ling agrees to this kind of thing, he will naturally play a bad face.Jiang Ling laughed lightly, and asked, "What's the problem?"
