The amphibian human's eyes are extremely beautiful almond eyes, and his blond-colored curly hair hangs down to his shoulders. His facial features can even be called handsome. If he hadn't been photographed just now with his hair lifted up to reveal the cheek holes behind his ears, look at his His appearance and unhurried elegance make it impossible to tell that he is an amphibian.
The amphibious man packed up his instrument, got on his motorcycle and flew off the ground. He circled the river bend twice before leaving, heading in the same direction that Bai Zhi and the others left.
There must be more than one such amphibious man. How should I write a report when I go back?
Xiao Shao took out his communicator from the space hand with a grimace and said, "Please, please send me a copy of these video materials."
When Bai Zhi sent him wireless data, he asked again: "The monitoring equipment you are using looks very good. Is it a product of Ji's Heavy Industry?"
of course not. But that guy Ji Sen would definitely like to have big customers like Feihu Qi.
Xiaoshan grinned: "Of course it is produced by Ji's Heavy Industry. Do you want it personally or do you, Feihu Qi, want it?"
"My desire is no different from Feihu Qi's desire." Xiao Shao spread his hands in a bachelor manner, "I'm poor, and if I want to use something good, I can only use it from the government."
Looking up and down Xiao Shao, Mr. Shao has a casual appearance but a capable temperament. At first glance, he looks like a man of worth. Due to his upbringing, he would not mock someone for being poor in person, so he smiled and said, "When you get to Chaojing, I will help you contact Ji's people to negotiate a deal."
The little money Xiao Shao took out was only enough to rent this small loft for a week. If he wanted to stay a few more days, he had to find a way to earn some money.
After all, we are still partners now, and we can't let Xiao Shao worry about it alone. Bai Zhi and Xiao Shan discussed: "How will we make a living while we live on Mulan Star? Let's agree first, being a tailor is not an option!"
"Then what else can I do?" Xiao Shan said with a grimace, "I can only be a tailor."
You, a zombie king, actually say that you can only be a tailor!
Xiao Shao was really speechless and almost blurted out, "You kill people and set fires, don't you have fun?"
"There are two tailor shops in Zhulan Town, and they all sew clothes by hand. We are just low-key and paying rent for a few days. Making clothes by hand is too hard on the eyes. We can do lighter work." Bai Zhi rubbed Xiaoshan lovingly. Face, "When I earn some money, Fifth Sister will buy you some Mulan special clothing materials, and you can make two clothes for your little tiger."
Xiaoshan immediately beamed and said, "Then let's set up a food stall. I will go out to inspect the market at dawn."
Xiao Shan went out as soon as daybreak, biting the tube of nutritional supplements. The morning light illuminated the young man's cheerful profile, and even the mask could not block his happiness and youthfulness.
The landlord's family and the tenants were also very hard-working, and they only left home a quarter of an hour later than Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shao watched the last tenant disappear through the courtyard gate, and turned back to ask Bai Zhi: "How did you feel when you found out that Xiao Shan is your child and not yet a human being?"
Bai Zhi answered him sincerely: "I knew he was not human when I picked him up. I treat him as my younger brother..."
"Sibling?" Xiao Shao immediately picked out the bug in Bai Zhi's words, "Why are you so sure that he is your brother? He doesn't look like you, but he looks like his father. His father is your brother?"
"Master Shao, you will lose friends if you are so aggressive." Bai Zhi turned her head, "The truth is too unpleasant. From now on, I refuse to discuss any similar topics."
"There are several families in our Tang Ancient Empire who maintain the tradition of blood marriage. This kind of thing is not a big deal, you don't need to mind." Xiao Shao shrugged indifferently, "Is Xiao Bao's father also a member of your clan?"
"I'm really going to fall out if you mention this again." If it weren't for the Feihu Qi and Tanggu Empire behind Xiao Shao, Bai Zhi would really want to fall out with Xiao Shao right now.
"Then let's talk about the child you gave birth to during pregnancy?" Xiao Shao smiled and raised his hands, "I don't mean anything else. I just think you should be someone who loves your child very much. Why did you leave your child?"
"After I got to know Xiaobao, I wanted to find him. A life full of wanderings and dangers is not suitable for raising children." Bai Zhi sighed, "Why are you so interested in my child?"
"I need to know what else the people who transformed Xiaoshan and Xiaobao into zombie kings did. Existences like Xiaoshan and Xiaobao pose a greater threat to human existence than you think. Can you control them? , but you can't control the zombie king who has no parent-child relationship with you!" Xiao Shao moved to the front of Bai Zhi and looked directly into Bai Zhi's eyes, "Xiao Bai, tell me everything you know and help me catch that person. History of us Can not change……"
Bai Zhi instinctively did not want Xiao Shao to know anything related to "Card". She smiled gently and sweetly at Xiao Shao: "When I picked up Xiao Shan, he was only five or six years old. He escaped from the laboratory and endured hunger. He is hungry but resists cannibalism. He is a good boy who tries to treat the world with kindness. I hope the world can also treat him with kindness."
"Have you never seen Xiaoshan kill someone..." Xiao Shao thought of the conversation between Xiaobai and Xiaoshan when they talked about relatives, and felt that he and Xiaobai must have different definitions of "gentleness", so he shut up rationally.
Bai Zhi knew that she had not convinced Xiao Shao and shrugged, "You check yours. We will look for ours. If we meet again in the future and need it, let's exchange information again."
"I've found everything on you, so I can't stop." Xiao Shao was helpless, "Instead of hiding from me, you really should tell me everything. I'm only fifty years old, at least I can live in the future. Three thousand years old, I have plenty of time to get to the bottom of it. You don’t want to have to hide from me and Fei Hu. Qi for the rest of your life.”
"Three thousand years is only your life, not mine." Bai Zhi no longer pretended to be gentle, and her attitude was much tougher. "Your country is not the only one in the sixty districts..."
Xiao Shao knocked on the low coffee table, the only furniture in the attic, and said, "You have a close relationship with the Ji family. If you can escape, you can't escape from the Ji family. A small family like the Ji family, which is huddled in a corner of the ruins, is unable to resist our Tanggu Empire. As long as I don't die, In the future, he will definitely be promoted to the commander of Feihu Cavalry."
"If the orcs don't make trouble, I might be frightened by your words." Bai Zhi really wasn't afraid at all. "In addition to the orcs, there are also insect-men. I also have videos of the insect-men's battles here. If you want Don’t you want to take a look? I think you Feihu Qi will be in big trouble soon.”
"Bring the video!" Xiao Shao confessed his identity but Bai Zhi completely ignored him. He gritted his teeth in anger and almost jumped up.
Bai Zhi picked out a dozen insect videos she downloaded from Xingwang and gave them to Xiao Shao. Xiao Shao opened the first video and saw the female bug-man giving birth to hundreds of little bug-men in a few minutes. The little bug-men ate everything and grew up in the blink of an eye. The more they watched, the more solemn their expressions became.
Bai Zhi guessed that Xiao Shao needed to be alone to sort out his thoughts, so he simply went downstairs to visit the landlord's kitchen.
The landlord's kitchen was in the yard. It was a large building built against the courtyard wall. Under the eaves, bundles of firewood were piled higher than a person's height. Inside the house was a stone fire pit with a wooden grill. There are also several large cupboards with wooden locks on the wooden shelves against the wall. Apparently the kitchen is shared by the landlord and tenant.
Most useful things are probably in the cupboards, and the kitchen looks very clean. Bai Zhi simply borrowed the kitchen, took out the stove and oven, cooked a pot of eight-treasure porridge, and roasted a box of corn first. While the corn was roasting, she took out a box of chicken wings to marinate, planning to fry the chicken wings to comfort Xiao Shan who could not achieve professional freedom.
The last chicken wing wrapped in egg liquid and bread crumbs slid into the frying pan, and the hill "bumped" into the kitchen like a gust of wind. Xiao Shao, who was pulling his hair and writing a report in the attic, jumped out of the window into the yard and rushed into the kitchen like a meteorite.
"Xiao Shan, you can't walk into the courtyard from the alley!" Xiao Shao was so frightened that his dark face turned pale with fright.
"There is no fourth person in the whole alley except the three of us." Xiaoshan chuckled, "Master Shao, are you worried about my fifth sister? Who gave you the courage to think that you are more capable than my fifth sister? I Do you believe that Fifth Sister can crush you to death with one hand?"
"Xiao Shan," Bai Zhi pointed to the basin in the corner of the kitchen, "go wash your hands!"
Xiao Shan went to wash his hands obediently.
Xiao Shao pressed his heart, which was about to die from overwork, and explained to Bai Zhi why he had lost his temper just now: "Many people who have no hope of breaking through at nine thousand years old will choose a place like Mulan Planet with a good natural environment to retire. Generally speaking, they don't meddle in other people's business, but Some people are fearless if they have the chance to leave a few outstanding descendants."
"So you can do whatever you want at nine thousand years old, right?" Xiaoshan chuckled, "Human beings are so hypocritical."
"Only a few people. There are also people like you, Fifth Sister..." Xiao Shao wanted to squeeze out some words to praise Angelica dahurica, but he stuttered and couldn't say anything.
Mr. Shao is really a straight man, and he can't come up with nice words to praise anyone. Bai Zhiqing sympathized with the future Mr. Hou's wife and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. The chicken wings are fried through. How about some?"
"Okay, thank you." Xiao Shao went to wash his hands silently.
Xiaoshan likes lemon-flavored soda when eating fried chicken. Bai Zhi took out two large bottles and poured a large cup for Xiao Shao.
It was probably the first time for Xiao Shao to drink a sweet carbonic acid drink. After taking a cautious sip, he was so excited that he drank the entire cup and burped in an ungentlemanly way.
Xiao Shan never missed an opportunity to mock Mr. Shao: "I always thought that only kids like me liked drinking soda."
Bai Zhi forcefully stuffed the chicken wings into Xiao Shan's mouth, "If you keep owing me this much, I'll beat you!"
This mother is really a real mother. She threatens to beat her but also gags her with delicious food! Xiao Shao thought that his mother was stricter with him than the instructor, and he felt that the delicious fried chicken wings were no longer delicious.
Bai Zhi didn't like to eat meat, so she ate two chicken wings with her and drank porridge instead. She also took out a small jar of lettuce eyes to eat with the porridge. After eating two pieces of lettuce, she couldn't help but miss Mian Ning and her children who especially liked this side dish.
Xiao Shan likes to guess her mood based on the changes in the scent of Angelica dahurica. He was eating happily at first, but he felt that Angelica dahurica was missing his nephews. He also became depressed. He put down the soda cup and said, "Fifth sister, I also want to go home."
"I'll go home and stay for a few days after the battle." Bai Zhi touched his head.
"Yeah." Xiao Shan rubbed Bai Zhi's palm a few more times like a puppy, then picked up the soda cup and became energetic again.
Xiao Shao looked at the loving interaction between the two of them, feeling envious and confused at the same time. He lowered his head and ate the chicken wings silently.
After dinner, Xiao Shan carried a bag of garbage to dispose of it and forced Xiao Shao to go with him.
"I still have a report to write." Xiao Shao refused. He also wanted to avoid Xiao Shan and ask Xiao Bai.
"Let's go!" Xiao Shan carried Xiao Shao out of the hospital, which was easier than carrying garbage. "Fried chicken wings smell so strong. You need to take a shower. As a man, shouldn't you avoid it?"
"I'm sorry I was wrong." After Xiao Shao apologized, he said, "You have quite a family, right? Does your fifth sister usually cook at your house?"
"Our family invites aunts to cook, and the fifth sister will cook when she is free." Xiao Shan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Shao, "If you want to know, just ask directly, I will tell you everything I can tell you, don't be too pretentious. , If you’re not tired, I’m still tired.”
Xiao Shao touched his nose awkwardly, "Does your family know what kind of existence you are?"
Xiao Shan asked back: "Do you want to ask why they can accept me?"
"Yes." Xiao Shao sighed, "If I didn't know you well enough - your fifth sister, I wouldn't be able to coexist peacefully with you."
"My family knows me well enough." Xiaoshan smiled like Bai Zhi. "In fact, in our hometown, ordinary residents can coexist peacefully with me."
"It sounds like your hometown is a good place. Let's talk about your hometown?" Xiao Shao now felt that burying garbage with Xiao Shan might gain more.
"Our hometown turned out to be an animal husbandry planet, and then..." Xiaoshan told the story he made up with great sincerity.
Xiao Shao listened very carefully. In order to have more time to listen to Xiao Shan's chatter, he even took Xiao Shan to visit Canglan Town next door and didn't go back until evening.
Bai Zhi made dinner and put it away before the landlord and tenant went home. After the landlady and his family came back, she went downstairs to the kitchen to help the landlady prepare dinner, and asked nicely where she could find work.
Dinner at the landlord's house is very simple. It consists of hanging a large clay pot on the fire pit, boiling a pot of hot water, scraping off the skin of a plant rhizome that looks like a yam with a stone knife, cutting it into sections and throwing them into the water. Cook inside. It takes a lot of effort to scrape the skin with a stone knife. The landlady welcomed Bai Zhi's help and said: "The social season has passed and it is difficult for women to find jobs, but your men can go transport wood. Although the wages are not much, but Take care of breakfast and lunch..."
There is really no shortage of food, but a few Mulan Star local dollars!
Bai Zhi immediately refused, "It's easy to find food on the mountain in autumn, and it's easy to eat. We just want to make more money, and after paying the rent, we also want to add two more clothes."
The landlady thought about it and gave Bai Zhi another idea: "We like to eat cherry tofu here, and everyone has to stock up on some in autumn. If you come across a cherry tree when you go up the mountain, pick more, that one is easy to sell! "
"Thank you so much, you are really..." Bai Zhi enthusiastically praised the landlady for her kindness and her work was very efficient.
When Xiaoshan and Xiaoshao came back, they couldn't stand hearing that Bai Zhi was trying all kinds of tricks to flatter the landlady. Xiaoshan stuck his head out of the window and shouted: "Fifth sister, we have brought food back, come up and eat."
The soup in the earthenware pot was almost ready, so Bai Zhi agreed to say goodbye to the landlady and return to the attic.
The attic is divided into two rooms, and the other one is vacant and has not been rented out. It was almost time to eat. Bai Zhi estimated that no one would come to the attic, so she took out the rice bowl she had prepared, greeted them to eat, and said: "Tomorrow let's go into the mountains to look for cherries. The landlady said that's better. Sell."
"Okay." Xiaoshan doesn't care, as long as his fifth sister is happy, he can do anything.
"I'm going to find someone to do something after I enter the mountain tomorrow. Xiaobai, please lend me your motorcycle." Xiao Shao frowned. He was now very worried that the bugs had sneaked into the 60th District and even the Tanggu Empire. He wanted to Leave Mulan Star as soon as possible.
"No problem." Bai Zhi was very happy. She had long wanted to get rid of Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao left to take care of things.
After wandering around the mountain looking for chestnuts and hunting, Bai Zhi found a hidden place and set up the equipment to continue receiving the video.
A day later, all the monitors staying in the river bend were discovered and damaged by the fishmen. But the video captured before the damage was informative.
Fifty kilometers further into the river bend where Bai Zhi met the fishman, there was an underwater farm of the fishman tribe. The farm raises a kelp-like aquatic plant. The murlocs seem to attach great importance to this farm, and there may be more than three thousand armed murlocs stationed near the farm. Small teams of three patrol the perimeter day and night. The damaged monitors were discovered and crushed by the patrolling mermaids.
The video also shows several scenes of fish people and amphibian humans coexisting harmoniously underwater.
Bai Zhi put herself in her shoes. If she were the leader of the mermaid tribe, she would not place thousands of her subordinates less than a hundred kilometers away from humans. It would be too easy for humans to discover them and cause a racial war.
So there must be a very important reason why the farm was put there.
Bai Zhi actually wanted to know what the reason was. Maybe the Amphibian Man would come to her door in a few days to deliver information. She felt that she didn't have to rush back now. She could get the Amphibian Man's confession before killing him.
The monitors left in the village were still working, and the video sent back showed the amphibian chatting with a human. The amphibian man asked if any strangers had passed by recently. A guy who didn't seem to have a high IQ took the money but pointed his finger away from Muxi City.
Bai Zhi wished in her heart that the Amphibious Man's old motorcycle would have enough energy, and that it would never stop burning on the way to Muxi City.
Xiaoshan found a goose chestnut tree and spent half a day growing several sacks of goose chestnuts. In the process, he also caught a few tree rats that came to eat goose chestnuts.
Before dark they returned with three bags of cherries and several plump live tree rats. The landlady was very happy and offered to exchange one month's rent for a tree rat and a bag of goose chestnuts. The remaining tree rats and goose chestnuts were also bought by neighbors who came over after hearing the news.
Xiao Shan got a few strings of shell coins and felt very novel. He said to Bai Zhi: "Tomorrow let's go to the beach to pick up money and play."
"Okay." Bai Zhi was about to throw a few monitors into the sea.
So the next day they went out in the middle of the night and arrived at the beach before dawn. Xiaoshan happily jumped into the sea to pick up money. Bai Zhi took out half a box of monitors and found a hidden place to watch the video like yesterday.
Yesterday evening, the amphibian man turned back and found the surveillance camera in the village that pointed him the wrong way. In the middle of the night he found a second monitor, smiled at the camera and crushed both monitors.
Even if a third monitor is found, the direction the three monitors are pointing together is not Muxi City. While Bai Zhi regretted not giving a clear clue, she issued an order to start the hibernation program for the first two receiving transponders she threw out.
The surveillance cameras scattered throughout the mansion in Muxi City captured many exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings and murals, and the furnishings inside the mansion's door were also very artistic. Bai Zhi watched for half an hour and found that several neighboring houses had a fixed and gorgeous large room. There were carvings and murals with similar themes in the room. Soldiers with human bodies, fish heads and shrimp heads stood in two rows. They looked like particularly powerful and fierce lizards. A man or snake-headed man stands in the middle, and priests wearing ornate ornaments and holding scepters stand between the two. One house also houses a statue of a priest.
Bai Zhi watched all the videos and found only these houses like this. She simply issued an order to let several monitors fly into those rooms and hide them in the gaps between the beautifully carved beams.
Xiaoshan did not pick up the shell coins. He met a group of haenyeo. After observing for a long time, he changed places and picked up a bag of seafood ashore.
"No men?" Bai Zhi frowned.
"No, these poor women only have a net to tie a stone with a rope. For ordinary humans, this kind of work is dangerous and hard. Fifth sister, how about we help them?" Xiaoshan said to him I picked through the harvest, picked out a sea urchin, opened it, and picked out the membrane with pliers.
"I can't do it." Bai Zhi sighed. In fact, Mulan Planet's natural conditions are really good. Installing the Chang'an brand teleportation array can transport cheap metals. Solar energy and biodiesel can ensure the daily life of ordinary people and the mechanization of agricultural production. But she can't do these things. There are still many habitable and semi-habitable stars in the chaotic star belt to be developed. The development cost is low and they are extremely safe. It is completely unnecessary and very unsafe to go all the way to the hinterland of the 60th District to establish a stronghold. It is very irresponsible to sympathize with the people here but let her people endure unnecessary dangers. Thinking of this, she sighed again and said, "When I was your age, I watched the news and thought the decisions made by some politicians were too ruthless. Now I seem to have become that person."
"Not really. If I were you, Fifth Sister, you wouldn't sigh." Xiaoshan picked a piece of sea urchin and threw it into his mouth, tasting the freshness and sweetness. "How about we just create an isolated site? Just take out a few things that are useful here. For technologies such as biodiesel, isn’t it okay if we don’t let others know our origins?”
"If you want to do it, just do it." Bai Zhi rubbed Xiaoshan's head, "Fifth sister will definitely support you."
"Fifth sister, let's eat seafood fried rice first." Xiao Shan coquettishly said happily.
"Okay, you handle the seafood, and I'll cook the rice." Bai Zhi put down the keywords set for automatic search, let the software work automatically, and took out a large rice cooker to cook the rice.
After dark, Bai Zhi and Xiao Shan returned to Zhulan Town with two bags of cherries, just in time to catch up with the landlord peeling kelp shells and grinding cherries in the yard. Several neighbor ladies came and sat around shelling the cherries. They were probably waiting to buy cherries. They were particularly enthusiastic when they saw the two big bags on the back of the hill. Two bags of cherries were not enough for these ladies. They saw that Baizhi was easy-going and easy to talk to, and they all became close to Baizhi. Bai Zhi was also willing to chat with them, and she would join the ladies and ask them questions. The wives mentioned that they should stock up on more food in autumn, so she asked Zhu Lanzhen what else he liked to stock up besides chestnut tofu.
"Stock up whatever you can buy!" the landlady said with a smile, "Our Muxi City is surrounded by mountains. In winter, it is windy and rainy, and it is not the social season. Things from other places are rarely shipped in, so we all rely on stocking up in autumn. food."
"So that's it. Let's go into the mountains tomorrow and walk dozens of miles into the mountains, stay one night and then come back the day after tomorrow. Try to make a trip and bring back more things." Bai Zhi seemed to be quite fond of money.
Xiao Shao came back in the middle of the night and left a dozen strings of shell money saying that he would come back and leave again in a few days.
"That's it? Is it enough to buy energy blocks?" The little mountain monster disliked Xiao Shao, but he still kept the money. He not only wanted to make clothes for Xiao Hu, but also wanted to make clothes for Fifth Sister and his nephews. Lots of money.
"There are no energy blocks for sale on the entire planet Mulan." Bai Zhi chatted with the neighbor ladies for several hours and already knew the situation on Mulan Planet very well. "Xiaoshan, have you figured out how to occupy territory on Mulan Planet?"
"I want to find a place in the tropics to open up wasteland for farming." Xiaoshan thought about it again and said, "But with the traffic situation, I think it would be better to be closer to Muxi City for sales."
Bai Zhi gave him an idea, "I will improve the local seeds of Mulan Star. You can start with the small landowners first."
Xiaoshan wants to occupy a piece of land here anonymously. Bai Zhi also changed her mind about transitioning here and started planning to settle down for a long time. She wrote Xiaoshan's thoughts on the chat board.
Hai Fengqiu was the first to say: If you lose contact with the person named Shao on Mulan Planet, the person named Meng will definitely come to Mulan Star to find you, so you should maintain the status quo before leaving Mulan Planet and don't let the person named Shao doubt you.
Zhang Tianzhao said: Since Mulan Planet is very good, let’s settle there for a while and I will design a castle with a wood and stone structure.
Lin Yunlai geared up: I want to be another big boss, so that everyone will misunderstand that Xiaoshan and I are incompatible.
Yue Dongting is also joining in the fun, I want to be the third boss. We have one team working on three sets of brands!
0 and 1 produce a "First Five-Year Plan for the Construction of Mulan Planet".
Both of them are so idle, they both want to occupy new territory! Bai Zhi sighed and typed: Don't forget that there are fishmen on Mulan Planet.
