Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 338 Golden Lotus ——————————————————

"ferry!"

"ferry?"

"Yes. With our shipbuilding technology, it is still difficult to sail here from the main continent." Bray came here on a small starship. He was fortunate enough to have seen the world of Viai, so he knows the position of Wushan Island on the sea: it is not close to the main mainland. "The storm at sea is fierce, and without a strong enough ship, it is too risky to go to sea."

The map technology of Valhalias is enough for people to hold a "planet" in the palm of their hands, watch the cycle of seasons, and watch the ocean currents and monsoons.This surprised Bray and made Bray extremely excited.It has to be said that Bray's boldness at this time is also inseparable from the map.

Naturally, Jiang Ling had also seen "Palm Via Ai", long before landing.That's why Jiang Ling had a general understanding of the Grand Duke's territory.Hearing this at this time, Jiang Ling couldn't help turning her head, and took a careful look at Bray.

——Well, the heartbeat is fast, and the body temperature rises slightly.Full of lofty ambitions, not small ambitions, but the idea is very pure...

At the same time, Jiang Ling had roughly figured out the matter.

Regarding territorial relations, no matter how rich the products and fertile land of Wushan Island, it is still quite unattainable for the Grand Duke.In this way, the most appropriate way is naturally to use the location and area of ​​the island as intelligence information to exchange for a good price.

But Wushan Island is the largest island in Viai, almost as large as the territory of the Grand Duke. The volcanic ash and humus make the land fertile, and there are many species of animals and plants that are not found on the main mainland, which means new Spices, new vegetables and new fruits.Even those venomous snakes and venomous insects can be used as medicine and cooking. Of course, this market is much smaller, and it is not as economically valuable as the former.

No matter what, with such a lucrative opportunity, it's hard not to be tempted.Who would be willing to spit out the benefits of getting it like this and the duck that flew into the mouth?Even giving up the big head to others is not reconciled.Therefore, Bray's question today may be just the young man's own ambition, but it is more likely to have the Grand Duke's private instruction.

And if you want to colonize and immigrate, no matter whether you find someone to cooperate or expand yourself, speaking of it, the current situation in the main continent is changing, the old and the new are changing, and it is a troubled time. In other words, it is in a period of many opportunities. .

However, an opportunity is just an opportunity. If it is really put into action, it is not easy to cooperate and expand the two. It will inevitably lower the market price and cause depreciation; both, the "wealth" promised by Su Mo does not include manpower.In this way, the wealth of the Grand Duke's family has doubled, but the strength has only increased by a few percent at best, not doubled.

So it's hard to say how things will go if the appetite grows.

The most important thing is that when the gods fight, the common people suffer.When the Grand Duke uses force, is it not the civilians who bleed? !

For this reason, Jiang Ling is not happy to see the result: Of course Jiang Ling will not pretend to be a god, to stop or change anything; but Jiang Ling also does not want to contribute to the flames.

God's to God, Caesar's to Caesar...

——The fate of the Viai people should be decided by the Viai people themselves!
When Bray asked Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling began to understand Lu Lin's mood that day, and understood why Lu Lin was willing to give her a portable bag that Jiang Lingqiya couldn't produce herself and had to import, but was unwilling to be generous to a certain family on earth. One hand, even if it’s just sending a few pieces of “bad copper and iron” to someone to do a formula review-cherishing the potential of a young man and interfering with the development of a planet are completely different things.

The former is just doing a little favor and giving a chance, and you can do whatever you want when you are happy; the latter is about hundreds of millions of people, even if it is a little effort, you can't act rashly.

It's not stinginess, it's prudence, it's respect: respect for life itself.

Therefore, the more people who have experienced life and death in wars like Lu Lin, the more self-disciplined and self-restraining they are - those who have power are the least able to be coerced by power; once they indulge, they will not be far from self-destruction!

Although Jiang Ling is not as high-ranking and responsible as Lu Lin, Jiang Ling's nature is such that he dare not be negligent in this matter.So after thinking clearly, Jiang Ling didn't express his opinion, but just smiled.

Bray didn't urge him anymore; he rode slowly, but couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ling from time to time, his eyes eager.

At this time, the group of people passed through another corridor-like aerial roots of giant trees, and entered a small valley that slowly descended.The mouth of the valley is slightly downhill, and there is a slight gurgling stream deep in the grass next to it, but it is rainwater in the forest—the forest is dense, and the ground under the trees will take several days to dry up after a rain.What's more, because of the lush vegetation, the island has its own microclimate, and there is often light rain in the afternoon, so this kind of stream can be seen everywhere.

The sound of running water faded away, but another sound of water gradually became louder.Jiang Ling listened attentively, and was a little puzzled because of his lack of experience.Seeing Dongming, he whispered to Jiang Ling, "There is a lake in front. It's not too small."

"How did you know?"

"The sound of water splashing on the shore. Also, the air is full of the smell of water. The wind is not strong, but the sound of water is not small, so this lake is not small."

Jiang Ling went to listen carefully again according to her words, but was laughed at by Dongming: "Why do you want to make use of your weaknesses and avoid your strengths? Let's use your mental strength. Your ears are not as good as Mengzi's. Before the ninth level of physical skills, you can't hear so many things." .”

That's right.But since it was Dongming who spoke, Jiang Ling had to give him a few words.But Jiang Ling just opened his mouth, but couldn't say the rest.

The front suddenly opened up, as Dongming said, it was a lake, and the other side could not be seen at a glance.

And above the lake, there are golden and red lotus flowers.Boundless as far as the eye can see, it is in full bloom, as bright as clouds.

*********
A group of people stopped quietly on the lush grass by the bank, and even Bray forgot his ambition for a while, staring at the strange scene in front of him, speechless.

After an unknown amount of time, Joya's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound.The half-grown boy's face flushed immediately, and everyone couldn't help laughing.It's just that seeing him so embarrassed, it's not easy to tease him anymore.Immediately put away the mecha, put out the food brought out, and start lunch.

Starships have carefully scouted here, and there is no danger.Geological analysis shows that this lake is a crater, and the largest crater on the island is dead.The five volcanic craters that erupt once every few hundred years are like stars around the moon, but they are much smaller.

But they are small, but they are the reason why the largest crater in the middle became an extinct volcano. Once the magma below has a little pressure, it will go out from the five small holes. Where can it accumulate pressure and cause a big eruption?
In fact, once the small crater is activated, the whole island suffers, and nine out of ten forests are destroyed: This is also the reason why there are no large animals on the island. They depend heavily on the environment and demand a lot. Once the volcano erupts, it is difficult for them to find enough food. , and the vegetation will recover in less than three to five years.

However, about tens of thousands of years ago, the eruption of this large crater directly formed Wushan Island...

……

A group of people watched the novel, finished lunch, and went about their own business.Or play, or rest, anyway, don't be too far away, just within sight.

Joya turned his mecha into a raft, picked lotus pods happily on the lake, took off his coat, buttoned it, and tied the neckline with his sleeves as a bag.

Jiang Ling learned from the Buddha Bodhi, and imitated the ready-made lotus in front of him, and transformed into a sitting lotus with a diameter of four meters. He picked a few lotus pods at random, and didn't pick too much, and peeled them one by one to eat.

Dongming didn't have a mecha, and he occupied half of Jiang Ling's territory.

The lotus seeds were full of "white mist". After all, the attendants came from Valhalias, and the daily supply is usually three-level and four-level food, so they didn't care much about it and didn't test it.

However, Jiang Ling knew without testing that it was at least a third-level food, so Jiang Ling fed it to Dongming very attentively—the disorder has not been cured yet, and it is always good to supplement it.

Dongming actually doesn't like to eat this, but he doesn't dislike it either.Since Jiang Ling said hello, Dongming accepted it with a smile.

Seeing Joya being so greedy, Brey felt ashamed, so he whispered to him; but Joya said plausibly: "Mom likes this, where are there lotus pods in this season, I want to bring some back to her!"

As a result, Bree went dumb.This is a volcanic lake, and there is geothermal heat at the bottom of the lake. After tens of thousands of years, the lotus seeds here have become different species, and the growth cycle is different from that of the main continent, so they are endless all year round.

Jiang Ling was happily feeding Dongming, when she heard the noise, she glanced at the Grand Duke's two sons, thoughtful, and moved slowly.

Dongming took Jiang Ling's hand, ate the lotus seed, and raised his hand to rub Jiang Ling's hair a few times.Jiang Ling turned her head to avoid it, and gave Dongming an angry look: "Why!" Dongming laughed and said, "Don't think about it, you worry about it. He's just too young. If you don't believe me, you can ask him, he probably doesn't even care about himself. I don’t even know how many sergeants there are in my family, and I still want to expand the territory... These things are not so easy.”

Jiang Ling muttered: "I'm afraid the Grand Duke also has this ambition."

Dongming is not worried: "Ambition is ambition, action is action. As long as the head of the family is a normal person, they will not gamble with the fate of the family on a small possibility-in other words, if they take action , that's also because they are not small. In this case, they just did what they should do and took what they deserved. Bloodshed... No one can stop what should be shed. It is blocked today, and it will explode again tomorrow. After all Conflicts of interest have accumulated to a certain extent, and wars can only be used to 'negotiate', which is the same everywhere. Your hometown also came through like this."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly: "I know."

Dongming shrugged: "So, young people..."

Jiang Ling was startled when he heard that, and patted Dongming hard: "You seem to be very old."

Dongming didn't say anything for a moment, then he said softly: "When I was his age, I hated the camp the most. But as I grew up, my thoughts changed. There are some things that you have to stick to until the end; some responsibilities, It has to be borne." These words are too serious, easy to scare people, and not suitable for the current environment and atmosphere.So after Dongming finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little regretful, looked sideways at Jiang Ling, and added in a very sincere tone: "Anyway, when I was in my teens or 20s, I wish I could blow it up."

If you really want to be sincere, Dongming will be very upright and serious; this kind of obvious sincerity is actually ridicule.Jiang Ling burst out laughing, and felt distressed: "You said you didn't like the camp back then—but, what did you do then? Did you skip classes? Can you skip classes in the camp?"

Dongming flattened his mouth: "I can't escape. So I can only... non-violent non-cooperation."

He was not very happy.Jiang Ling was extremely funny and curious at the same time.However, because she was worried that those memories were too tragic, asking Dongming would make Dongming even more unhappy, Jiang Ling didn't go into it, but raised up with one arm, traced Dongming's eyebrows and eyes with her fingers, and lowered her head to kiss Dongming.

The kiss was just comfort, not passion.However, Dongming never refuses Jiang Ling, and he is good at making progress.As a result, their kiss was tender and tender at first, but then gradually became hot.

Jiang Ling sensed the changes in Dongming's body, so she didn't dare to continue, and barely managed to break away—there was someone nearby, and Dongming might be fine with the following content, but Jiang Ling couldn't let go.

Dongming groaned softly, raised his hand angrily, covered his eyes with a "snap", and muttered bitterly: "Now I've changed my mind." His voice was hoarse.

"what?"

"It's more important to blow up those guys on the shore..."

Dongming said this very seriously, extremely seriously!That is extremely ridiculous.Jiang Ling was immediately happy, and after a while, she held back her laughter, caressed Dongming's chest maliciously, and kissed Dongming again: on the side of the face and under the ear.

The warm breath fell on the pinna, Dongming turned his head to hide, but he was a little bit reluctant, he hesitated, and only dodged a little bit; he couldn't help cursing, and quickly pressed Jiang Ling: " do not move!"

Jiang Ling giggled, but didn't dare to tease her anymore.Dongming stayed motionless for a while, and couldn't calm down for a while, so he had to "gulu" roll, and with a soft "plop", he got into the bottom of the water!
