The Riddler Get Out of Terra

Chapter 134 Departure ([-])

"I only have some crude tea at home, I hope you're still used to it."

The gray-haired old man has a stiff body that belies his age, and his waist is

His back straightened up, and his explosive muscles were firmly attached to his thick frame, making it unclear whether he was old or simply senile.

If you look at his face, this question will make people even more curious:

Wrinkles still spread on the old man's face, and the traces drawn by the years are not as easy to decay as the various things that sink in time. The intermittent ravines still stubbornly remain on his body, but the old man's skin is very young. The muscles and bones are plump, reflecting light, and appear to be full of collagen.

Time allowed him to slowly oxidize like a mural, but Si Shen continued to paint under the coating, drawing another identical face to help him avoid the silent blade of time.

Lao Zhang placed a cup of steaming tea on the table. The pure white water vapor kept changing its shape in front of Wu You, fluctuating like the ever-changing light in his eyes.

"What's on your mind?"

Lao Zhang had a pair of sophisticated eyes, and he could see Wu You's hesitation at this moment, but Wu You's expression was so obvious that even without Lao Zhang's eyes, which were tempered by natural disasters and man-made disasters, he could still see out of his indecision.

"Well, I thought about something about kung fu - after all, old gentleman, you said so, and now I feel scared!"

Wu You smiled, but there was no truth in his mouth, and Lao Zhang had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. He just found another chair and sat across from Wu You.

Now, there is only a square table made of ordinary wood polished and painted between the two of them.

The old man also poured himself a pot of tea. Regardless of how hot the tea was, he swallowed the hot tea in the cup in one gulp.

Wuyou looked at the cup of hot tea in front of him, which was so hot that it made his chin feel hot even from a distance. He also looked at Lao Zhang, who swallowed the hot tea just out of the pot without caring. His feathers covered by the scarf were horrified. moved.

He quickly looked at Lao Zhang, ready to go to Grandma Yang's house next door to invite an old man who also practiced treatment skills, but found that Lao Zhang poured himself another cup of hot tea like a normal person, a cup of hot tea that was at least over [-] degrees Celsius. The only effect it brought to Lao Zhang was to make his face blush slightly.

so good……

Even though he knew that he was wrong to think so, Wuyou's thoughts were still inevitably a bit envious.

Who doesn’t want to ensure their survival?With the vitality and protective power that Lao Zhang has shown now, he can even live to send flowers to Wuyou's grave!

But Hao Zhao's words were useful after all. Li Boli tried his best to reverse his declining thinking. In order to divert his attention, he had to look around the room and not look at Lao Zhang's contented expression at the moment.

"..."

Wu You saw clusters of plants growing in transparent glass tanks.

They are artificially stimulated and grown, and their roots spread like claws in the transparent glass tank, like hands grasping the outside world, painfully twisted into uncomfortable shapes.

The roots of these plants were originally supposed to be entangled and fighting with each other. There was cooperation and confrontation between the roots. They would tangle together and grab the land, so that the harvesters could never completely expel them. They would also grow. They wantonly take away each other's nutrients, and are so cold that they don't look like neighbors who grow up day and night.

But now everything is gone. These plants are privileged to enjoy the treatment of single rooms. They are kept in separate small spaces by their own glass boxes, and their roots are twisted into unnatural shapes.

"Old sir, this is..."

Looking at the life that had begun to look different from the plants that could appear in Yan Kingdom due to being imprisoned, Wu You endured the sudden discomfort and mustered up the courage to ask Lao Zhang.

"Suck--, which one are you talking about? Oh, these... they are experimental products."

Lao Zhang looked back with Wuyou's gaze, and then directly told Wuyou the purpose of the several plant racks with culture tanks in the corner of the room:

"With the research, we have also begun to try to re-select excellent crops, but life modification is indeed the most taboo subject. Even if it involves only a small amount, we will fail - some advantageous crops will degrade as they grow. Yes, some of them may appear to be excellent, but their taste and nutritional value are not very high.”

"But we have all taken on this topic, so we have to use the stupidest method - a large number of crops, and then select the best to continue eugenics and eugenics, trying to create super crops. The experiment has produced a lot of failed crops, but there are also many that are bad. Irreplaceable value, I moved them to my room to see if I could make something else."

Lao Zhang pointed at the particularly huge plant growing in the largest pot at the front. His wrinkled fingers were much better than before. His fingers, which were thickly calloused by farm tools and suffering, could not bend before, but now they can. Flexibly guide the invisible sight:

"Well, this tank is the best failure at present. The yield is very good, the grains taste good, and they are not as delicate as the prototype. After planting, it grows well. We almost thought it was the finished product."

Lao Zhang glanced at the best failure that was growing particularly lushly, smacked his lips, and turned his head back without nostalgia.

"Then why did it fail?"

There was no interest.

"It grows too fast and does too much damage to the soil."

Lao Zhang didn't hide it, he bluntly stated the biggest reason:

"The soil is fertile, and it often takes a long time to develop a good field. Inari No. [-] grows too fast and can absorb a large amount of soil fertility and enrich it into grains in a short period of time.

Here, once a piece of land needs to be planted, it can be said to be useless. "

"This did not meet the requirements of the life genre, so we destroyed the rest of its controls, leaving only this tank for final processing."

"..." Wu You opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but couldn't form the right words. In the end, he had to ask a forced question:

"So strict? I almost thought I was listening to a teacher's lecture in a laboratory in a mobile city."

"Do whatever you want, but do no harm."

Lao Zhang smiled, with a little pride on the wrinkles on his face, and repeated the motto of the Life School in Wuyou's ears to strengthen the Liboli people's understanding of this lineage.

"Also, our medical skills must be supervised at all levels during treatment to prevent... Oops! I forgot the most important thing!"

Lao Zhang also wanted to say something about medical skills. Seeing Wu You's body that was quite strong due to years of martial arts training, the old man slapped his head and hurried to his room and put a handwritten book on the In front of nothing:

"I have been preparing bags for the young people at home recently. I have been so busy that I have forgotten the most important things. Come on, Wuwu, take a look at my first results."

"You are not from the life line, and our cultivation skills cannot be given to you, but it is not good to see a good child become like this. I have some health-preserving methods that I have summarized with others in my free time. You can see if you can practice them first. Try it!”

Chapter 135 Departure ([-])

"Therefore, those who have weak Qi should not have distracting thoughts. If the mind is confused, the mind will be confused, and if the mind is confused, the Qi will move. Use the fire in the heart to reflect the chaotic Qi. Although there is no misfortune of being possessed by evil spirits, there are still many evils that can invade and remain hidden. It’s very dangerous.”

Looking at the particularly conspicuous sentence painted on the book by Lao Zhang with cinnabar paint, Wuyou smiled hard and said:

"Thank you for reminding me, but now that I have not avenged my great revenge, I have to rush for quick success, and my heart has long been unable to settle down. It is a pity that the old gentleman has worked so hard."

Lao Zhang was silent for a while, and the pleasure of drinking hot tea suddenly stopped. He looked at Wu You carefully with black and white eyes, and then sighed after a long while:

"Yes, if you can simply forget about it, you are not worthy of calling for revenge. You can't even take revenge, but you still persuade the victim to forgive the enemy. Anyone who does such a thing will be struck by lightning from heaven."

"Wuyi, your heart is so heavy, that person is important to you?"

"That person is my master, who is as kind to me as a mountain. She brought me from the countryside to the martial arts school, taught me martial arts and taught me how to read. If it weren't for my master's support back then, I would still be farming at home - although I still don't There is no difference. If the big revenge is avenged and I am lucky enough to survive, I might just go back home and farm."

Wu You closed the book and took a sip of the cooled tea. The tea was warm and should have a pleasant aftertaste, but when Wu You swallowed it into his mouth, the thick bitterness made it almost difficult for him to swallow.

This has become normal. After Master died, Wu You would always have a bitter taste in his mouth no matter what he ate. It was as if something was reminding him, blaming him, and asking him why he didn't go find those people to avenge Master. .

I want to, but I don’t have enough strength, what can I do?

He hurt himself like a self-flagellation, wishing he could turn the regret that was violently churning in his heart into a sharp knife, stabbing into his numb soul one by one.

"Are you... a child from the countryside?"

When Lao Zhang saw Wu You's healthy complexion and strong body, and heard that Li Boli was a child from a farming family, Lao Zhang's expression softened, and he even reached out and pressed his shoulder to grasp the strength of Wu You's muscles.

"Well, there was a period of time when I tried to plant a few acres at home. Unfortunately, before I could harvest it, my master died. I also suffered a blood feud and had to move away from home. Now that I think about it, I still It’s really your own fault.”

【What do you want to do in the future?Martial arts won't give you much advantage in the Yan Kingdom. 】

[Let’s practice first. I’m not in a hurry. Master, if you can’t fight and go home to farm, you can still live well. 】

[You kid, ugh...]

Thinking of those days when I was talking about the future with my master, the past conversations popped out of my memories. I didn't think about myself who was innocent at that time and just wanted to revive Lian's martial arts school and spoke to the master with red eyes. I don't know whether it is nostalgia or hatred, but sadness wells up in my heart.

"It's not easy, it's not easy..."

Lao Zhang took another cup of tea for nothing. The steam was steaming. He looked at the Liboli people and asked:

"What will you do next? Follow the immortal, or..."

"Follow Taoist Master Hao. The Taoist Master said he would take me back to find some people to settle the score. I couldn't bear it anymore and planned to go back with the Taoist Master. But what about you, old gentleman? I remember not long ago that you seemed to have said that the younger generation was going to go out? "

Not wanting to talk about his own affairs any more, Wu changed the subject. He glanced at the bedroom where Lao Zhang had opened the door to get books. A small luggage bag was placed neatly on the bed covered with soft mattresses. on the bed.

The bedrooms are mostly made of wooden furniture, painted with bright paint, and you can see many beautiful patterns dotted in the simple and heavy corners - the favorite house design of the elderly in Yanguo.

"Yes, the Taiping Sect also wants to preach, and the children also have to go out and serve the glory of the Four Gods. Originally, I wanted to sign up, but the Four Gods felt that this old bone needed to be raised for a few more months before I could try it. , so I stayed here to train the younger generations. As you can see, those children are

Aren’t they all very obedient? "

Thinking of the children who saw them at the entrance of the village and ran back to report to the person in charge, Hong Quan, and played enthusiastically with Hao Zhao, Wu You couldn't help but nodded - the children were indeed very well-behaved, not at all. Unlike those naughty kids who vent their energy everywhere.

"They are indeed very well-behaved, but if you are going to travel far, is that bag a little too small? I feel like it can't hold many things? Old sir, I have also been homeless for a few months, and I know the rules. I only carry this It’s just a small bag, it can’t hold much, right?”

Wu You followed closely and said.

"Don't worry, I'm going to show you the special skills of my life style! Wuyou, look!"

Lao Zhang put his right arm in front of Wuyou. Under the puzzled eyes of the Liboli people, the forearm and upper arm of his right hand suddenly changed color, and strange, slightly smelly hollow sarcomas emerged from the split green skin. come out.

This this!

Wu Yi was startled, so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair:

"This is……?"

"Cultured meat."

Lao Zhang asked Wu You to take a closer look at the large number of sarcomas on his arms, which were densely packed with hollows. The dense and terrifying appearance did not require makeup to play the thriller movies that young people in the mobile city loved.

But this thing is by no means invisible - at least, judging from Lao Zhang's actions of showing his arms to Wuyou, these tumors may have unknown uses.

"If we encounter a situation where insects enter the body and poison is difficult to treat, we can incorporate the insects into the meat and culture it. After obtaining a large number of samples, we can use the power of the God of Life to prepare medicine and quickly obtain targeted antidotes."

Lao Zhang was so precious that he let Wu You look at the sarcoma on his upper arm, and carefully used a layer of flesh film to protect the white particles inside the tumor:

"There have been several insect-evil diseases in the town recently, so I cultivated some. The results are out today. I will send them to Shi Kai and his wife to get the antidote and we can prevent and cure them!"

"Did it turn out to be such a good thing?"

Wu You looked at his upper arm, which looked extremely ferocious because of the sarcoma, and his eyes softened. He stretched out his finger and wanted to touch it to show that he was not in awe of Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang avoided it as if he was electrocuted.

"Don't touch it! If someone in the Lifeline exposes this thing, Wu Yi, you must not touch it!"

Lao Zhang's arm quickly returned to its original shape, and the gleaming flesh color appeared on his arm again. The old man warned seriously:

"The cultured meat in our bodies contains countless strange and poisonous insects, and it is directly related to how many diseases. If it is broken, it will inevitably lead to a loss of life!"

Ah this... Looking at Lao Zhang's nervous look, Wu You blinked: It can only be said that he is indeed the four extremely dangerous gods in Hao Zhao's mouth. Even the lifeline that sounds the least dangerous can cause trouble. A good hand.

"Look, the Life Line is responsible for medical logistics, the Courage Line is responsible for protection operations, and the Wisdom and Spiritual School is responsible for missionary work. We only need a team of four people, a missionary team, right?"

"But if it turns out that you want to leave with the immortal, it seems that we still have a few young people who can help you. When you leave tomorrow, I will introduce you to them and let them take more care of you."

Wuyou opened his eyes wide:

Good guy, this looks like he wants to spread the word virally. If they go into the city with him, can Gouwucheng still want it?

and many more?

The Liboli people suddenly thought of something. After thinking about it, they discovered an amazing fact:

Because he wanted to go back for revenge, Hao Zhao planned to help him. Because Hao Zhao planned to help him, the Taiping Sect sent a whole group of people to preach with Hao Zhao, because the Taiping Sect believers followed Hao Zhao and him into Gouwucheng...

Co-author: Am I the one leading the way?

Thinking of his increasingly outrageous identity, Wu You couldn't laugh or cry.

Chapter 136 Departure ([-])

The water vapor in Qingquan Town in the early morning is very heavy, perhaps related to the earth's veins. The vigorous moisture will condense into a weak white mist in the morning. Looking out from the window, it seems that the entire town is shrouded in pure white smoke, waiting for visitors. exploration.

Wu You looked at the various buildings hazy in the fog outside the window, and felt a little melancholy in his heart:

Yesterday, Lao Kai, who knew that Wuyou was born as a farmer, happily took the Liboli people to visit many old people he knew. When the old man heard that the young man who came to the town with Hao Xianren was actually a farmer, he was also surprised. Very cheerful.

They discussed with Wu You the feeling of the soil in his hometown, and the best judgments to make when planting different crops in the soil. They also talked with Wu You about the anxiety of harvesting to prevent the crops from withering even when they were so tired during the busy farming season. A clear one.

If Wu had left the farmhouse early and entered the city, no longer thinking about his family, just because he wanted to get in touch with Lao Zhang, Wu might still be struggling.

But Liboli people actually have to go home from time to time to help with spring planting and autumn harvest. When the master asked him what he would do in the future, he even said angrily that he would rather go home and farm than bow his head. How could he not understand?

So Wu You talked with the elderly based on his own experience of planting for several years, and told the embarrassing story about the wrong time of breeding and being caught by his father holding a willow stick, which made the elderly laugh - they were the same back then. Who has come here and not been whipped by an anxious family member because of a mistake?

When talking about the place of origin, the old man called him to his home without saying a word.

The children asked them to say hello to Wu You, and they also cooked a lot of dishes to entertain Wu You.

Lao Zhang was spinning around, and Li Boli got to know a group of brothers from Lao Yu's family, three sisters from Lao Li's family, and Yang Shitou, who looked young but was actually the mainstay of Lao Yang's family. Even Scholar Hong, who was not only respectful to Hao Zhao but also lukewarm to him and Ajie, couldn't help but curiously asked him a lot about Gou Wu after being called by Lao Zhang to eat some food with Wu You. The story of the city.

When he heard Wu You suddenly talk about the city lord and the police not asking anything about the martial arts hall, Hong Quan frowned in disapproval:

"This is impossible. Your master was injured and bled to death. He didn't even have the chance to seek medical advice. It would be too small to say that the city lord and some of his men were not bribed to turn a blind eye to such a big news. The city lord’s eyes and ears.”

The young man dressed as a scholar looked at Wu You, with the gleam in his eyes that only a fox who had been in the officialdom for a long time could have:

"In my opinion, either your master has done something to displease the city lord, or... the city lord is on the same side as those who persecuted Lian's martial arts school."
