In the past few days, He Lingchuan has been busy entertaining merchants. The first batch of palm oil has been refined and the quality is very good. It will be too late if the Yangshan Islands does not start looking for customers.
Besides, the islands will be rich in products in the future. Expanding contacts and expanding trade routes are the unshirkable responsibilities of He Lingchuan, the island owner.
But when he returns to the Yangshan Islands, Aunt Zhu will always appear nearby.
Once or twice was nothing, but three or four times. He Lingchuan was surprised. Aunt Zhu had never been very fond of human beings, especially places with many people.
Why doesn't she go to her own Pansi Island to stay?
"Auntie." Aunt Zhu once again wandered around him, walking around with her eight legs. He Lingchuan seemed to be able to see the tangle on its forehead, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"Well..." Aunt Zhu hesitated, "It's nothing."
He Lingchuan knew that he had to listen to these words in reverse. Aunt Zhu, with her straightforward temperament, rarely hesitated.
"Is Erniang giving you a hard time?"
The relationship between these two sisters has always been a bit strange. Aunt Zhu is very powerful, and Erniang Zhu is very thoughtful. When it comes to dealing with people and things, Aunt Zhu is no match for her.
"It doesn't count. But after it moved into its new home on Pansi Island, it mentioned one thing to me -" It was rare for Aunt Zhu to hold back for so long, but she finally stopped complaining! "It has already moved once in the east of Mou State.
Already."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan asked smoothly, "Is it not satisfied with the first site selection?"
Zhu Erniang has thousands of children, so it is not easy to move again. How long has it been since she arrived in Mou State? It is only half a year earlier than He Lingchuan, so why did she move back again?
"That place is quite nice, but I can't stay there because Bega found it!" Aunt Zhu was angry about this. Her younger sister was being mean and dishonest and didn't explain the pros and cons clearly before moving!
Now that my sister has moved to the Yangshan Islands, will she cause trouble?
"..."
"..."
One person and one spider, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, looking at each other in silence.
When Aunt Zhu told such breaking news, she originally thought that He Lingchuan would be shocked and jump up on the spot. Unexpectedly, he blinked and actually asked:
"That's it?"
"Aren't you worried?" Shouldn't normal people be frightened when they hear that nightmares are coming to their door?
Seeing He Lingchuan's calm face, is this the reaction he should have?
"I take it as a big deal." He said calmly, "What is supposed to come will always come."
Aunt Zhu looked at him with twelve eyes to make sure that he was really not angry, and then she breathed a sigh of relief: "If I had known that you had this reaction, I would have told you earlier."
As a result, it struggled with itself for so long.
"What else did Er Niang say?"
"Oh, it wants you to come to the island to discuss it."
He Lingchuan was dumbfounded: "Is this an invitation from a few days ago?"
"Two days ago, that is, after it confided the truth to me." Aunt Zhu said angrily, "I don't want to pay attention to it these days!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." He Lingchuan wanted to pat it to show comfort, but when he saw the aunt's long legs covered with thorns, he gave up the idea, "Let's go back to Pansi Island with me to see the two.
mother."
It's been a few days since the new tenant has moved in. As the landlord, he should also take care of him.
From a distance, or from the surface, Pansi Island is no different from before. The shore is still rugged and the island is still lush and lush. Occasionally, you can see spider webs hanging on the treetops and in the cracks of the rocks.
Since He Lingchuan sacrificed the dragon pillar, these islands are no longer shrouded by evil spirits, and creatures have begun to visit. In just a few days, there are already birds opening their throats in the forest, and there are more types of insects lying on the leaves.
Like before, there are only little black insects living in the evil.
There are no roads on Pansi Island, and there are round and pointed stones everywhere. He Lingchuan was lazy and lay on Aunt Zhu's forehead, letting her carry him to the underground spider's nest.
These eight legs moved more smoothly than two legs, and he didn't feel a single bump even when he closed his eyes.
Soon, the burrowing spider's nest arrived.
In fact, He Lingchuan had long heard a rustling sound coming from the surrounding forest. The sound was familiar to him. It was the sound of the burrowing spider's long legs pulling down the fallen leaves on the ground.
Zhu Erniang sent little spiders to greet him.
Climbing down the steep rock wall, He Lingchuan felt that the air was becoming more and more humid. It is not that the sun does not shine here all year round. From early morning to noon, the sun will hit the open and thick stone wall like a screen, so the herbs in the stone crevices grow well.
Underneath the rock wall, there is an underground stream flowing silently.
This is the burrowing spider's favorite environment.
The spiders crawled through an inconspicuous crack, and He Lingchuan discovered that the space became wider toward the back. He didn't know whether it was originally like this or the result of the deliberate expansion of the spider swarm.
Burrowing spiders are masters of modifying their environment and know exactly how to dig a hole safely without causing landslides.
There is still sunshine up here.
He Lingchuan found that the ground was covered with a thick layer of black soil, which was soft and moist, without a single weed. There were a few small spiders wandering around, and when he saw birds coming down, he immediately drove them away.
Aunt Zhu told him that seeds had just been sprinkled here to plant the base grass for the mushroom carpet.
The so-called base grass is three types of plants carefully selected by Zhu Erniang, which are rich in nutrients required for the rapid growth of the mushroom carpet. Without the foundation and supplement of base grass, the growth of the mushroom blanket may not be good.
"So particular? I thought the mushroom carpet could grow directly in the stone nest." The mushroom carpet is the bottom link of Zhu Erniang's unique agricultural chain. It is not only a pasture for aphids, but also a petri dish for various delicious fungi and fluorescent spores.
"You need base fertilizer. At that time, you need to chop the base grass and pine needles into pieces and feed them to the fungus blanket."
Then, they entered the cave and blocked out the sunlight.
Every ten feet, there is a glowing fluorescent spore above, illuminating the originally dark underground nest clearly.
There are cobwebs everywhere.
He Lingchuan had seen this routine many times in the Devil's Nest Swamp and didn't find it strange at all.
The place the sisters chose for themselves is an underground cave. There are big caves within small caves, and there are also sea caves connected to the shore. According to Aunt Zhu, the expansion project here has just begun, and they are going to
Expansion, widening, until the entire underground nest extends in all directions, even the size of the two giant spiders can come and go at will.
Said to be a residence, He Lingchuan scratched his head, this is an underground fortress/maze!
In terms of sturdiness, it seems to be not much different from the previous Devil's Nest Swamp. Ordinary people come in and get confused after a few moments. I don't know how these burrowing spiders know their way around.
"Then where is the second mother?"
"In the bay."
Aunt Zhu led He Island Master through many twists and turns. Even he was confused. Only then did he realize that the sky was bright in front of him. It turned out that he had emerged from a sea cave. If he took another step, he would step into something as clear as glass.
In the transparent sea water——
The cool breeze blowing against their faces carried the salty smell of the sea water, and they arrived directly at the bay.
