Thinking about it carefully, it is exactly what Qiu Zhihu said.
Any chance that comes together becomes inevitable.
Luffy patted Qiu Zhihu on the shoulder and said, "As long as you live, you will see us again one day, so work hard..."
Qiu Zhihu stood up, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his forehead, and suddenly laughed at Luffy and the other three, "Hey, as long as I hug your thighs, the big boss, I will definitely see my daughter again, hehe... I
firmly believe!"
"..." Everyone was speechless for a while.
"Let's go, let's continue."
The four of them walked out of the shop, Lin Qiaoni waved her little hand, and everyone continued their journey to the stone forest today.
"Brother Qiu, what's wrong with your head?" A platoon leader from the first company in the team asked in a low voice.
"Of course I kowtow..." Qiu Zhihu did not hide this, nor was he ashamed of kowtow. Instead, he asked, "The big leader saved my life, and the big leader's parents saved the life of my wife and daughter. You
Do you think I should kowtow?"
"Ah, our niece is still alive! That's such a great joy! So, Company Commander, you really deserve to be knocked down, and it's not an exaggeration to say that you're knocked unconscious!"
Qiu Zhihu, "..."
Through a simple conversation between the two, everyone roughly guessed the whole story, that is, the big leader's parents rescued Qiu Zhihu's wife and daughter somewhere.
"What a lucky guy!"
Everyone not only lamented Qiu Zhihu's luck, but nothing in the apocalypse can be more joyful than the news that a loved one is still alive.
Looking at Qiu Zhihu again, although his forehead was still bleeding, his face was smiling like a flower.
The atmosphere in the team was infected by him and became more relaxed.
The small village is not big, and even if everyone stops and goes, they will eventually come to an end. They continue to walk through a village path, and everyone sees the Yellow River. In their eyes, the rolling Yellow River makes a big turn from west to east, like a dragon wagging its tail, giving birth to this world.
There is an oasis next door.
Although the vegetation has become lush after the apocalypse, everyone can still imagine the general scene here before the apocalypse.
The oasis accompanies the peaceful mountain villages in the Gobi desert in the early morning. If it were before the end, the villagers would have gotten up early, or were packing sheepskin rafts on the edge of the Yellow River, or sitting on small stools chatting with each other, just sorting out their own things.
donkey.
The water of the Yellow River is surging, and the waterwheel on the bank is still turning slowly, telling the vicissitudes of history. However, because there is no dedicated person to take care of it and the lack of lubrication, it makes a harsh sound that is clearly audible.
The fruit trees on both sides of the bank are dense and leafy, and everyone can even see that the branches are bent by the heavy fruits.
Such a scene can indeed make everyone who is used to seeing ruins, blood, and violence feel a little happier, and even the air is filled with a comfortable atmosphere.
"Are these fruits edible?" Lin Qiaoni asked, "They look so delicious."
"Of course you can eat it." Qiu Zhihu is in high spirits on happy occasions and is in a good mood. As long as he knows the questions, he will definitely answer them. "There are also many fruit trees around Shuguang, such as apricots, plum peaches, etc., you can eat them!"
"
"Huh?" Lin Qiaoni turned around, looked at Qiu Zhihu and asked, "Why haven't I seen such ripe fruit before?"
"That's because they are picked and eaten by many people before they are fully mature. You must know that even sour apricots are rich in various vitamins, carotene, and mineral elements. Moreover, people after the apocalypse can eat them easily.
They are also greedy, so the fruits produced by most fruit trees are basically eaten before they are ripe," Qiu Zhihu said.
"Why didn't anyone send me some?" Lin Qiaoni continued to ask.
Qiu Zhihu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "They are all sour apricots and astringent apples. Who dares to give them to the big leader?"
Thinking about this year, they had found all kinds of food, but they had never eaten fresh fruit. Thinking of this, she was a little angry and cursed, "A bunch of old guys. Well, let me know, SLR
The fruit trees within the Shuguang Base must be harvested and distributed uniformly when they are mature! I am sure that all those unripe fruits have been picked by you soldiers." As she said this, she looked at Qiu Zhihu and Li Xia.
You can tell just by the slightly embarrassed looks on their faces.
"We also have to consider the ordinary Dawn people who cannot move freely," Lin Qiaoni said earnestly.
Luffy also nodded, agreeing with Lin Qiaoni's attention. At the same time, he was pleased that she cared about ordinary people in Dawn. She was becoming more and more accustomed to the role of leader. Standing in her position, she unknowingly revealed
The thoughts she should have in this position.
"Brother, what do you want to eat? I'll pick it for you." Lin Qiaoni pointed to the orchard not far away and said, "I see there are apricots, plums and crispy pears here."
Just after she finished speaking, she saw that Luffy had raised his hand. She stuck out her tongue and quickly dodged. If she were too slow to dodge, she would have to suffer a blow.
"Sister Xiaoling, Sister Sisi, Sister Xia, let's go and pick fruits. Lao Qiu, you are responsible for keeping watch." Lin Qiaoni waved her hand as she ran towards the orchard.
"Well, yes!" Qiu Zhihu said and immediately called the soldiers around him to start alerting.
There is no absolutely safe place in the apocalypse, and there may be danger hidden in this lush orchard.
Zhou Shanshan and Kang Xian next to them looked eager to try, but they were afraid that Lin Qiaoni's disapproval would make Luffy a little funny. He waved his hand and said, "Go if you want to!"
"Hey, big boss!" Zhou Shanshan ran towards the orchard with a happy face.
The apocalypse has been so long, no one can resist the temptation of fresh fruits. Look at the apricots on the fruit trees, they are all ripe, and they taste absolutely sweet.
"Oh, we arrived a little late. Most of the apricots and plums were overripe and fell off. What a pity!"
When they came to the orchard, they saw rotten apricots and plums all over the ground, and felt pity.
"But there are still some hanging on the branches." Xiao Xiaoling said, jumped slightly, held an apricot in one hand, landed on the ground and said to Lin Qiaoni and Ruan Sisi, "Here, do you want to taste the sweetness?"
After the two girls Lin Qiaoni took it, they squeezed it unconsciously and stuffed it softly into their mouths and took a bite, "Hmm~ It's so sweet. Sister Xiaoling, please try one too!"
Apricots and plums normally mature in mid-July, but some of them will always hang on the trees. These fruits that can be left until August taste very sweet. The most important thing is that the sweetness is not greasy.
a feeling of.
Seeing the delicious food Lin Qiaoni and Ruan Sisi ate, Li Xia, Zhou Shanshan and Kang Xian couldn't help but pick a few.
When I tasted it, it was as sweet as they said.
After getting tired of eating apricots, they set their sights on crispy pears.
August is officially the season when crispy pears are about to mature. Although it is not very sweet and has a bit of sourness, this is the taste they want.
"This crispy pear is sweet and sour, and has so much water." Everyone not only praised it.
Maybe they just stayed at the edge of the orchard and didn't go deep enough. They didn't encounter any evolved creatures until they were satisfied.
"Sister Xia, Kang Xian, let's pick some for Lao Qiu and the soldiers. I bet they will be drooling again now!" Lin Qiaoni said.
"I believe it, haha." Li Xia smiled and went to pick.
More than ten minutes later, they put the fresh fruits they picked into Kang Xian's space before returning. Sure enough, a group of soldiers, including Qiu Zhihu, were swallowing their saliva and looking at Kang Xian blankly.
They had long known that Kang Xian had placed a lot of fruits in her space, and they were all salivating.
"Big boss, I'll give you some fruit!"
Kang Xian smiled and walked up to Luffy first, showing a sweet smile.
"Okay, thank you!"
Originally, Luffy didn't want it. His taste buds were only interested in raw meat. But at this moment, in this situation, it would be too illogical to refuse, so he didn't refuse.
He clasped his hands and looked at Kang Xian, only to see Kang Xian put her hand in from her chest, and when she came out, she held two red apricots in her hand.
"Forehead!"
From Luffy's perspective, it was clearly the same thing Kang Xian took out from her ravine.
This immediately made him afraid to reach out and pick it up.
"Brother, not every space power has its space entrance in the palm of its hand. Most of the space power's space entrances are on the chest of the evolver." Seeing Luffy's hesitation, Lin Qiaoni explained with a smile.
Ruan Sisi also nodded, because Liang Chenfeng's space entrance was also on his chest.
"This, okay!" Luffy could only hold it with both hands.
After going back and forth a few times, Luffy held more fruits in his hands.
"Big Chief, you eat these first. If you want to eat later, ask for them from me. I will go and share some with them."
Luffy nodded.
Then Kang Xian turned around, took out a plastic bag from her chest, and then put the mouth of the plastic bag on her chest. She just heard the sound of "thump, thump, thump, thump" fruits colliding with each other.
When he turned around, the plastic bag was already filled with fruits. He handed the plastic bag to Qiu Zhihu, who distributed it to the soldiers one by one.
Everyone ate with gusto, but soon, Luffy discovered that these warriors would put the fruit to the tip of their noses and smell it before biting it.
Are you smelling the fragrance of milk?
At this time, no one noticed. When everyone reacted, there was no fruit in Luffy's hand. He was also the one with space.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Qiaoni asked after seeing that everyone was almost done eating.
"Yeah!" All the soldiers responded with satisfaction. In the apocalypse, these fresh fruits are undoubtedly the best delicacies. They are rare and rare. People who have not experienced the apocalypse will never be able to understand this taste.
Sure enough, there will be unexpected gains when following the big boss. Although there are also dangers when fighting evolved creatures, compared with the dangers, the gains make them feel more happy.
"Shanshan, where should we go next?" Lin Qiaoni asked again.
Zhou Shanshan said, "Next we can follow the rural road and enter the stone forest area, and the next stop will be Panlong Cave."
