Chapter 323 322. Gold Under the Knees
Give it back?!
Huaiyu could never agree to this!
"If I go back, won't I get beaten for nothing?!" She grabbed the sack tightly and refused to cooperate: "Besides, it's a chestnut tree. The chestnuts have been smashed out. Why take it back? Are you going to use it to feed squirrels?"
With such a thick tree trunk, it would be a waste of space if the squirrel didn’t build a castle there.
Zhou Qian sighed: "Its recycling is to pile it in front of it. It will keep it warm in winter and provide fertilizer slowly, so it can grow again."
Huaiyu: ...
"Can't you replace the slow-release fertilizer you brought? If that doesn't work, you can just sprinkle some soybeans around! Isn't that more efficient and effective than the chestnut compost?"
Zhou Qian shook his head: "I've already said that its chestnuts are the best in the world. It only loves its own chestnuts."
If you run into such a narcissistic and stingy thing, trying to take some chestnuts from it is like trying to cut the best meat from the legs of a egret! Huaiyu put down the bag in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and walked forward, aggressively:
"Look at me!"
Zhou Qian was ready for battle! He subconsciously held the sack, and decided to run away if anything went wrong - or throw it away if he couldn't run!
The next moment, Huai Yu came to the chestnut tree in a heroic manner, and without hesitation, he opened his arms and leaned against it: "Please!"
There was silence.
It’s very much like Zhou Qian’s dead heart.
Only the chestnut tree remained motionless. It didn't say it wanted chestnuts, but it didn't say it didn't want them either. One could only vaguely sense its complex emotions stirring. Huaiyu then bent his knees in a familiar way.
"Xiaoyu!"
Zhou Qian quickly stopped her: "We have gold under our knees, it's not worth kneeling down to beg for something like this!"
Huai Yu was bewildered: "Why is it not worth it? That sack is full of 300 kilograms of chestnuts! Before the disaster, good chestnuts like these, shiny and plump without any insects or diseases, would cost at least 8 yuan per kilogram."
She calculated the bill and even began to dream: "2400, if they can give me for one knock, I won't even ask them to reimburse me for my concussion!"
When she said this, she looked at Zhou Qian again and said sincerely: "Brother Zhou Qian, you are right, we have gold under our knees! Several grams!"
Zhou Qian: …
Suddenly I felt that the dignity I had maintained for no reason was worthless...
bah bah bah!
No! How could he be led astray?
"In short, you can't kneel down so easily! Others will look down on you! In the future, when you fight with others, will you kneel down if you can't win?"
Huaiyu curled his lips: "Who wants to kneel down to someone? That person is about to beat me up, and he won't let me go even if I kneel down! I won't!"
But the chestnut tree is not a person.
She sighed and looked at Zhou Qian's strange expression: "Okay, okay! Sister Chen Xing said that all men are like this, always with some inexplicable dignity... Then I won't kneel!"
After she finished speaking, she stuck to the chestnut tree again, and strands of supernatural power flowed from her palm to the trunk, accompanied by her soft question: "Now, can we take the chestnut with us?"
This supernatural power doesn't give much, at most it's like helping an eggplant tree grow in a vegetable garden.
Faced with such a huge chestnut tree, Huaiyu thought it would be like a drop in the ocean, but unexpectedly the entire chestnut tree began to shake!
From the trunk to the branches, to the leaves and the chestnut bags on the head, everything seemed to be vibrating, and now they all fell down with a crackling sound.
The difference is that this time it was not hit with force, but fell naturally.
Zhou Qian's helmet had cracked and he had taken it off long ago. Now he was bending over to pick chestnuts, and he could hear the whistling wind coming from all directions, with no escape possible!
He dodged a huge chestnut bag and hurriedly put on his helmet. However, another shiny chestnut fell down and hit the back of his hand hard, leaving it black and blue.
"Xiao Yu!" Zhou Qian dodged left and right in a panic, and shouted at the same time: "Didn't I tell you not to give superpowers casually? Have you forgotten the Ice Lantern Jade Dew?" Huai Yu was also angry, and now he put his hands on his waist: "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed! Do you still want the chestnut?"
Zhou Qian couldn't help but choke!
At this moment, he really wanted to go back to 3 minutes ago and slap himself hard! If he had known that he would have to take these two beatings, he would have let Xiaoyu knock one!
He can knock it, too!
……
ten minutes later.
Zhou Qian sat under the chestnut tree, feeling sore all over, and did not move.
The chestnuts came so fast and suddenly that he had no way to avoid them. The crack in his helmet had widened again, and his body was hit by piles of naturally falling chestnuts and chestnut bags.
Through the thick clothes, the damage caused by these chestnuts, which are only due to the natural force of falling, is not great, but it can't withstand the frequent occurrences!
Now, his iron-skinned body began to ache.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it!
Huai Yu happily opened the mouth of the sack on the ground, then took the basin and dug it with his feet. Soon there was a big basin! There were scattered chestnut bags, and more brown and shiny chestnuts. In short, this time, one sack was definitely not enough!
"Oh!" She rubbed her waist in a pretentious manner. "There are so many. I may not be able to pack them all even if I spend the whole day. Our car will be full!"
Zhou Qian said nothing.
Huaiyu didn't care and happily filled another large basin. Then she heard Zhou Qian's curiosity:
"Do you have some extraordinary noble bloodline? If you don't use supernatural powers, you can just kowtow and exchange for so many things?"
Although it is said that kings, princes, generals and ministers are all of different species, perhaps there is such a class system in the plant kingdom?
Huai Yu was puzzled: "Brother Zhou Qian, I found that you have a lot of rubbish in your mind! One moment you worry that I will kneel down to the bad guys, and the next moment you think that I will be looked down upon if I kowtow to the chestnut tree..."
She said loudly: "There are only two of us here, who would look down on me if you don't say it!"
"Also! I kowtow because I'm cute! I'm young! These mutant plants are so big, so big, so big, and I'm not even as tall as one of their branches. I'm so small, wouldn't it be cute to kowtow to one of them?"
"Wouldn't you think it was cute if your doll kowtowed to you and asked you for a cookie?"
Zhou Qian: ...To be honest, if he had a rag doll that could kowtow to him, the first thing he would do would be to chop it into pieces.
What a horror cult!
But he also understood Huaiyu's metaphor - just like if you met a stray cat on the road, rubbing and licking it, and turning its belly upside down to beg for a bite of cat food...
Then who can resist not giving it?
As long as the plants or mutant creatures are neutral, they should be unable to resist!
When Zhou Qian thought of this, he felt even more pain in his body.
The first surrender of the chestnut trees was led by General Lin, and he did not participate. However, both the garrison and the defense forces had a thick booklet explaining their various taboos and coping methods.
Over the years, they had nothing but beatings and not even a single chestnut shell was taken away!
It's better now!
If I had known this, I would have knocked one for each of us and then carried 100 kilograms of chestnuts with me!
Update 1: There is gold under my knees...Xiao Yu really does have one!
