Reborn Future Legacy

Chapter 44

When Zhong Qiling returned to the small town of Jotra, she happened to meet Shen Dewei and the others, who had checked the first two reasons and returned disappointed.But even though they were disappointed, they were still talking about their guesses, and Shen Dewei didn't notice Zhong Qiling at all.

On the other hand, Zhong Qiling saw Shen Dewei walking in the middle at a glance, looked at the things in his hand, and quickly waved to him happily and said: "Shen Dewei, Shen Dewei... Shen Dewei, it's a good luck to meet you, come quickly, help me get it. Get something! Shen Dewei~"

Because Shen Dewei kept talking to people and walked among the crowd, at first he vaguely heard someone calling him, and the voice was still so similar to Zhong Qiling.I was still thinking in my heart, it's just that the other party said it was out for a few days, why didn't it arrive a day ago, and I had hallucinations?Since Zhong Qiling has gone out, how could she be here?Still calling him?

Shen Dewei thought it was an illusion, so he didn't care, and continued to talk about today's events with Will and the others.Zhong Qiling looked at it and thought that Shen Dewei hadn't heard it. Seeing so many people, about half of them were looking at her, feeling a little embarrassed and a little angry.

Probably because Zhong Qiling, who is a girl, has a low face, she feels that it would be even more embarrassing if she didn't call Shen Dewei over.So Zhong Qiling stomped her feet and shouted louder: "Shen Dewei, Shen Dewei! Did you hear—"

"Why do I feel that someone is calling me?" The voice came very clearly this time, although Shen Dewei still sounded like Zhong Qiling's voice, so regardless of whether it was a hallucination, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice—— Zhong Qiling was looking at him in front of him on the left, and there were two boxes of different sizes at his feet.

This time, Shen Dewei didn't have to wait for Zhong Qiling to call, he turned around and said to Will: "The rest, let's talk about it tomorrow." Then he ran directly to Zhong Qiling's direction.

Shen Dewei and those team members were all laughing.Looking at Shen Dewei's dog-legged appearance, he thought to himself, 'Sure enough, people in love have lower IQ'!Seeing that Shen Deweili didn't pay attention to them anymore, like Alger, he pretended to be abandoned and said: "Boss, you forget your friends when you see sex, it's so inhumane!"

Shen Dewei only looked at Zhong Qiling in front of him. As for the noise behind, there were some noises, but as for what he said, he automatically blocked it, still smiling, and ran forward.

When Zhong Qiling saw Shen Dewei running over, facing the seemingly invisible eyes on the opposite side, the embarrassment just now was gone.On the contrary, seeing Shen Dewei slowly running over, he felt a little embarrassed.After all, what right does she have to order others like this?

Shen Dewei didn't think too much about it. He ran to Zhong Qiling and picked up the two boxes, and then said to Zhong Qiling, "I'll take the things. By the way, is there anything else?"

"It's gone." Zhong Qiling shook the black box in her hand and said, "Today's harvest is just these two boxes and this one box."

"That's quite a lot." Shen Dewei weighed the weight in his hand and said, "It's not light, it looks like there are a lot of things?"

"They are all tools and nothing special. There is a box of seeds that look like iron beads. Although I heard that they have no signs of life, they look good just for decoration. I plan to make a small pond in the ground , when the time comes to fill in these things by the pool to make steps, it feels very good."

Zhong Qiling thought that it would always get dirty in the field, so it would be nice to have a place to wash hands and feet.And these seeds are just right.Although they are not as flat as pebbles, they look smooth and smooth, and they are all about the same size. If they are set up, they will look good.

Of course, Shen Dewei didn't know what Zhong Qiling was thinking, but he had a general understanding of the research institute's research recently, so he had some impressions of seeds and life characteristics, so he asked, "I heard that some seeds don't meet the conditions. When it is time, it cannot show the signs of life."

"Really?" Zhong Qiling approached happily and asked, but then replied by herself: "Is there such a coincidence? If this is the case, can it be my turn?" There is also a faint hope.Although she doesn't understand antiques herself, it's very exciting to listen to them.

"I don't know, I just read the literature recently, and I just found out. I used to think that if there is no sign of life, it is broken. So when I saw it, I paid special attention to it. It is said that there are." Shen Dewei didn't dare to talk too much.

"Go back and have a look. In fact, it looks like iron beads and copper beads. I don't have any hope anyway." Zhong Qiling said indifferently, but she thought in her heart that she must check it out when she went back.

Then she didn't forget to show off the black box in her hand: "I bought a fun box. It is said that even the boss has never opened it. It must be very interesting. Come and try it later?"

"What's inside?" Shen Dewei tilted his head, looked at the things in Zhong Qiling's hand, and asked a little strangely.

"The boss said it was empty!" Zhong Qiling was stunned for a while when Shen Dewei heard this, and even forgot to walk, and laughed, "Puff haha~"

"Then...the box, what are you going to use it for?" Shen Dewei had the same imagination as everyone else, why buy a useless box?And it's still dark, so it's not good-looking, and I don't think it can be used for it?
"Don't you think it's fun?" Zhong Qiling shook the box in front of Shen Dewei and said, "It looks like a whole, and there are no locks or various nails at all. The craftsmanship level of the production must be Isn’t it low? Even if it’s used as a toy, it’s not bad!”

"Yeah. But first, you need to be able to open it." Shen Dewei nodded and said.

"I...forget it, I'll open the door first." Zhong Qiling opened the door, then held the door, and waited for Shen Dewei to come in before saying: "Take your time to study. Anyway, I'm fine these few days."

"En." Shen Dewei responded casually, entered the door and said, "Where do I put these two boxes?"

"Ah, just...just put it in the living room." Zhong Qiling turned around and said, "Let's just put it in that corner, it won't block people's way."

"Okay." Shen Dewei still put down the things.Then he thought for a while and said, "I didn't know you would come back so soon. You didn't go to pick up the natural food today. Or, I'd better get it back?"

"Well, let's go." Because Zhong Qiling said that he would be outside for a few days, there was nothing in stock at home except rice, so Shen Dewei was sent.Then, she remembered the information she wanted to check.

I entered the network from the hut, and first checked the relationship between seeds and life characteristics.I didn't find any relevant information, only said that different periods will show different characteristics, Zhong Qiling was depressed.It seems that it is not so easy to pick up the leaks, let alone this is a gift for shopping.

However, there was still time anyway, and Zhong Qiling didn't just quit like this.I looked for it to see what kind of seed it was.I entered the keywords, and then saw a seed called Pingpo, which looked a bit similar, but I was not sure if it was the same species.

However, Zhong Qiling took a closer look. This kind of thing itself can be used as a garden landscape tree and street tree, and the fruit can also be eaten.In addition, planting is not too troublesome. It likes to be born in fertile soil with good drainage, and it is shade-tolerant.Zhong Qiling replaced the seed-like steps she had just thought about with a small village shade by the pond, and it would be good to take a rest in the shade.

However, in the end, we have to see if these can really be planted.Zhong Qiling saw that there were almost half a box of this kind of seeds. Although there were not hundreds of them, there were dozens of them, so she carefully selected one and prepared to cook it to have a look...

Yes, Zhong Qiling's idea is very simple, if it's Ping Po's case, she'll know after cooking it and eating it.Anyway, according to what she just saw, Pingpo has a clear fragrance, and its texture and taste are very similar to chestnuts.She didn't smell the fragrance or anything, but to eat...it's not easy.As for whether it's good or not, let's talk.Anyway, if it can be eaten, it is much easier to eat it than to use a bad seed to plant for ten days and a half months.

So when Shen Dewei came back, Zhong Qiling was already cooking in the kitchen.As for other things, they were still left in the living room in a mess.

"Are you boiling water?" Shen Dewei put a small piece of meat and a Chinese cabbage that he brought back into the kitchen, looked at the water in Zhong Qiling's small pot, and asked inexplicably.

"No way, look, there is something inside." Zhong Qiling stepped aside and let Shen Dewei look at the only seed inside.

Shen Dexing said in disbelief: "You bought the seeds to cook and eat? And why only cook one?"

"I'm not going to try it first to see if it's good. By the way, you break open the vegetables and soak them, and I'll cook them later." Zhong Qiling didn't hesitate to call Shen Dewei upon returning home.After all, there were no outsiders at home, and the most important thing was that Shen Dewei cooperated well and didn't complain. Slowly, when no one was watching, Zhong Qiling had already thrown away the little bit of embarrassment before.

"Okay." Sure enough, as soon as Zhong Qiling finished speaking, Shen Dewei agreed.Then he picked up the dishes and made them.Shen Dewei himself doesn't remember why he didn't know how to do such a simple thing before.After all, two people doing things separately made him feel good.

Besides, when the two of them were in the kitchen, even if they didn't speak, he would feel inexplicably happy just staying together.Moreover, the kitchen is so small, as long as he thinks that he can see Zhong Qiling and smell her faint fragrance when he turns around, Shen Dewei feels very satisfied, so even if there is something for him to do, not only does he not find it troublesome, but he also feels happy.

Shen Dewei even thought that the two of them have been dividing the labor and cooperating in this way, and the cooperation has been seamless for a few more times, so that he can feel that the distance between him and Zhong Qiling is no longer so great.

Of course Zhong Qiling didn't know what Shen Dewei was thinking, she was still looking at the seed intently.So I watched the water tumbling for several minutes, and there was only such a seed, thinking "it should be fine." I turned off the fire, and then took out the seed.

But this kind of seed is not as easy to peel as Zhong Qiling imagined.Zhong Qiling thought it might not be cooked, so she had to throw it back into the water and continue cooking.After cooking for a few more minutes, Zhong Qiling took out all the vegetables she had pickled and soaked them for a long time before taking out the seeds and preparing to eat them.

This time the shell was indeed much softer, but it still couldn't be peeled off.Zhong Qiling felt that she didn't want to cook anymore. After all, if it really tasted like chestnut, it shouldn't take too long to cook.So she took a knife to chop with a heart.

Zhong Qiling didn't think much of it, but Shen Dewei was baffled.Thinking in her heart, this kind of seed was found in the Antique Street, Zhong Qiling really wanted to eat it, so she asked aloud: "I don't know how long this kind of seed has been stored, do you think it is still edible?"

"Try it and you'll know." Zhong Qiling felt that this was the most convenient and quick way, but it seemed that this kind of seed was hard and hard to cut, so she called Shen Dewei and said, "Come and cut it for me."

"Can't even be cut with a knife?" Shen Dewei looked at the seeds, and then asked the same question as Zhong Qiling after getting them in his hand: "Are you sure they are still seeds, not fossils, or iron?"

"It must be a seed. You can feel that the outer shell is softer and looser. So, cut it harder!" Zhong Qiling said next to it.

"Okay." Shen Dewei couldn't help such a small question.But with a 'choking' sound, the shell opened, but what, the inside is not the yellow of the chestnut/apple but white?Is it different from Zhong Qiling's imagination?
"What is this?" Zhong Qiling picked it up, looked at it, and then slowly removed the entire shell, before suddenly realizing: "This seems to be lotus seeds, right?" Of course Zhong Qiling has seen lotus seeds before, but she thought of such a hard one. Shell, some are uncertain to say.

"Maybe." Shen Dewei didn't make any further comments.Then Zhong Qiling quickly connected the hut to the Internet, and after a while, she found the information she wanted. It is said that the shell of the fully mature lotus seeds is very hard, also known as iron lotus.

So, did she just get some lotus seeds?Although it is true that Zhong Qiling plans to make a lotus flower recently, it is really not expensive.Alas... Zhong Qiling sighed, and sure enough, there were things that were missing, not everywhere.But she looked again, and found that it didn't mention that these lotus seeds had no signs of life.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiling became interested again, and continued to browse other relevant information.After all, if there are other explanations, she can still look forward to it.Finally, she saw a report that should be from an unknown year in the earth age - "The Mystery of the Germination of the Thousand-Year-Old Lotus", and sure enough, there was a sentence on it that attracted her attention - the lotus seeds formed more than 1000 years ago , up to now it is reasonable to say that it has decayed and turned into a fossil. It has no life, so how can it germinate and bloom?
Seeing such a sentence, Zhong Qiling's eyes widened in disbelief.Then he grinned: "This one is right!"

"Ancient lotus seeds?" Shen Dewei looked at it from the side, and also thought it was incredible. Zhong Qiling's luck is too good, right?It is possible to be a thousand-year-old lotus just by looking around casually like this?

If it weren't for the rapid development of science and technology, no one would believe in ghosts and gods anymore, and Shen Dewei would almost think that Zhong Qiling was the lucky one who was tired of being looked after by the gods.

Zhong Qiling didn't notice what Shen Dewei said or what reaction he had at all.After all, she found out that the report was recorded with no recorder, and then it was transferred to the Xijixing Network through what instrument.Anyway, except for the title and that sentence which is very clear, the rest of the reading is intermittent, and it seems that there are obvious lack of words, so Zhong Qiling has a hard time reading it.

But soon Zhong Qiling saw a complete sentence in classical Chinese in the report: There are stone lotus seeds in Ningjin County, Zhaozhou, all of which are buried in the soil, and the age is unknown.Residents dig the soil and often get a few dendrobiums, which are shaped like iron stones, and the meat is fragrant and never dry. When thrown into the water, lotus will grow.

I don’t know if it’s because of the short sentences in classical Chinese, anyway, this is one of the rare complete words in it, and the others... guess...

Then Zhong Qiling picked up the lotus seeds that had just been cut and smelled them, and there was indeed a vague fragrance, she was so happy.It seems that this is indeed the ancient lotus seed.In addition to the classical Chinese text above, this report has another obvious meaning, which can be summed up as follows: the roots of ancient lotus seeds are fat and big, with a good harvest; moreover, the seeds are more plump, and they are better for eating than ordinary lotus seeds.

But Zhong Qiling didn't know that their greater value was not in food, but in research.It is of high scientific value to study the secret of longevity of ancient lotus seeds.People can study biological dormancy, continuation of species, origin and other issues, and can also simulate the structure of the shell of ancient lotus seeds to design granaries, preserve food and other crops, and so on.

Of course, as Zhong Qiling, who knows that natural food is so expensive now, she didn't think about any research at all, just let her know that the variety is good and the eating effect is good.She is already very happy.However, thinking that maybe this thing is not so good, she looked at Shen Dewei and asked: "Tell me, does the research institute have this? Should I give them two for research?"

"I don't know either. If the quantity is large and it doesn't affect you, you can fill in the information. If the research institute needs it, I will ask you for it." Seeing Zhong Qiling like that, Shen Dewei sighed in his heart why he thought Zhong Qiling was interested in the alliance before. Have two minds?Although Zhong Qiling like this is a little selfish, there is absolutely no one who doesn't just think about herself.

"Yes. That's right. Then I'll count five first, and then fill in the information. They will give it to them if they want it." Zhong Qiling nodded in agreement and said, "I'm going to plant the rest myself. Oh, think about getting a lotus flower Now I don’t even need to buy lotus seeds.” After Zhong Qiling was happy, she sighed again and said, “The only thing missing is the machine. The supermarket didn’t hurry up to deliver it. It’s really…”

Shen Dewei looked at Zhong Qiling and smiled, but didn't answer.He felt that Zhong Qiling like this was very real and cute, which made him happy just looking at it.

After that, Zhong Qiling didn't remember to make dinner until her own stomach growled.Looking at Shen Dewei who was still smiling at the side, his face was a little red, it was too embarrassing.So he pushed Shen Dewei a little angrily and said, "What are you blocking the way here, go out and wait!"

"Okay." Shen Dewei agreed, then thought of what he had read on the Internet, paused, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Then I will trouble you for dinner tonight, and I will work hard."

Zhong Qiling was stunned for a moment, then as if trying to understand the meaning of the words, her face blushed uncontrollably, then she looked at Shen Dewei and said loudly: "What are you talking about?!"

"I……"

Shen Dewei just wanted to explain, but was pushed by Zhong Qiling impatiently: "I told you not to stand in the way here, get out! Get out! Really..."

Shen Dewei had no choice but to go out obediently.Left Zhong Qiling stunned in the kitchen for a moment, patted her face, muttered, "Really, always say something nonsense", and then blushed and started cooking.

And Shen Dewei was a little tangled thinking, did he do something wrong again?Well, sure enough, the experience on the Internet may not be applicable to everyone?Does he really have to ask Alger about that big mouth?
