In fact, the vast majority of people in this world have long been accustomed to this eternal fireball hanging above their heads, so that they habitually ignore its beauty.
But for Huaxi who grew up in the wasteland, it is really beautiful.
On the martial arts arena.
Lin Tuo was silent for a while, then coughed, looked away from the east, said something like follow me, and brought Huaxi into the bedroom.
He briefly demonstrated the operation method of the utensils in the bathroom, and said:
"You wash it first. It's summer here and it's very hot. I'll find you some clothes. Well, I don't have anything suitable for you at home. I'll take you out and buy one later."
After Lin Tuo finished speaking, he turned his head and walked away, leaving the bathroom to the little girl.
Huaxi followed his request, although she was full of curiosity, she didn't say anything, just nodded.
After Lin Tuo left, he carefully took off his thick and dirty cotton clothes one by one, got into the bathroom, and unscrewed the nozzle in a strange way.
"Wow..."
Hearing the sound of water coming from the direction of the bathroom, Lin Tuo let out a silent breath, opened the closet, and found out the shorts that he had bought before but hadn't worn yet.
He picked out the smallest shirt and brought a pair of slippers.
"Let's make do with it first." Muttering in a low voice, Lin Tuo put the clothes on the door of the bathroom and said, "Put the clothes here, and change them when you come out later."
"profound."
Hearing the echo, Lin Tuo turned and returned to the study, looked at the potted plants, and confirmed that it was temporarily calm inside, then released the avatar, changed the down jacket, walked back to the bedroom, and left the main body in the study.
"I ve done washing."
When Lin Tuo, who had changed into summer clothes, entered the room again, he heard Huaxi's voice, and immediately, a small figure walked over slowly.
Messy and wet hair.
The upper body is a loose shirt, and the hem almost covers the shorts. Lin Tuo's slippers are on both feet, and the rubbed red toes are tightly fastened.
Lin Tuo froze for a moment, then frowned, a little surprised.
He didn't expect... Huaxi was so thin and small.
Although in the wasteland, she was known to be not tall, but she was wrapped tightly, and at most she looked a little chunky.
It wasn't until now, when Lin Tuo opened up the layers of old clothes, that Lin Tuo finally realized that Huaxi was so thin... and the skeleton was also small, which was obviously caused by hunger.
Probably feeling the change in Lin Tuo's eyes, Huaxi became more and more nervous.
After several seconds, Lin Tuo exhaled lightly, turned around and handed her the peaked cap and sunglasses in his hand:
"Put this on too, and I'll take you later... teleport to a nearby city for a walk, remember, the language here is different from the one you know, and the rules are also different.
So read more, talk less, if you don’t understand something, ask me in a low voice. "
After exhorting, Lin Tuo took Huaxi through the evolution sand table and "teleported" directly to a remote alley near Yangcheng Commercial Street.
…
"Didi!"
When two figures, one big and one small, walked out from the alley, the hustle and bustle of the whole city, the sound of cars, voices of people... rushed towards us, drowning Huaxi.
At this moment, it was dawn, and it was the morning rush hour. The traffic on the street was dense, pedestrians were in a hurry, shops along the street were opened one after another, and the whole city suddenly woke up.
This scene almost filled Huaxi's eyes, making her dizzy.
He could only follow Lin Tuo stubbornly, while staring round his eyes and pricking up his ears, trying his best to understand the world based on his past experience.
"City… "
Huaxi is no stranger to this term.
For example, Black Rock City near Mining Town, she has been there many times.
There were also shops there, and there were vehicles and pedestrians on the street. In her original perception of the world, Black Rock City was already a very "bustling" place.
But compared with the "city" I am in right now, the two hardly belong to the same concept.
Those vehicles that are only controlled by the Burning Fire Company, and will never be used unless necessary, are too many to be seen here, and their appearances are even more weird and diverse.
The tall buildings rising from the ground made her tremble instinctively.
Compared to these, it was humans who had the greatest impact on her.
It is those tall and big human beings who are hurrying on the streets, dressed in different clothes, but without exception, have normal appearance.
You must know that in the wasteland, there are not many evolutionaries, and there are more refugees with rickets, deformities, or various diseases.
But here, it seems that there is no such thing at all.
Those people, speaking a language she didn't understand, were busy, or they were poking with a strange object the size of a palm.
Occasionally someone looked over, their eyes were not as vicious as those of the Wastelanders, and they quickly moved away.
Here, everything is so fresh.
"Are they... all evolutionaries?" Huaxi finally couldn't help asking in a low voice while walking.
"It's not... In fact, they are all ordinary people."
"They... don't seem to know you?"
"Yeah... It's more complicated to say, but they really don't recognize me. I'm just one of the many beings in this world."
"Why don't they have weapons? Is there no war here?"
"Of course. Where there are people, there are fights..."
The two just walked slowly along the street, asking and answering questions constantly.
Huaxi's problems are becoming more and more complicated, and more difficult to deal with:
"Why is that man wearing a skirt? And... stockings?"
"... personal preference."
"That woman, why does she have a tail on her body?"
"Uh... It's just the master's task."
"?"
"Ahem, that's enough. Shut up and come in with me to buy you some clothes. Don't talk, just pretend to be dumb." Lin Tuo forcibly ended the topic, and then led the puzzled Huaxi into the shopping mall.
It took some time, and under the strange eyes of the clerk, he bought a few sets of clothes for the little girl, and then Lin Tuo came out as if fleeing, and walked towards the nearby park.
By the way, I investigated the popularity of the "Qingling Breathing Technique".
In the past few days, he was so absorbed in the wasteland that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Yangcheng.
Occasionally, I checked through the evolution sand table, and found that the number of practitioners began to fall off a cliff after the peak of the first two days, but later, it began to increase slowly.
The logic is also very clear.
At first, there must have been many people who tried out of curiosity and other factors, but after all, not everyone is talented. After a few times of practice and no significant effect, naturally they will not try again.
Only those with better talents who actually get positive feedback will persevere and spread it to relatives and friends, similar to word-of-mouth fermentation, forming a slow growth effect.
Considering the entire Yangcheng, the number of practitioners is still very limited.
"Don't rush. From the perspective of the development of things, as long as it is still growing, it will detonate sooner or later."
Lin Tuo turned around in the park and successfully found two old men who were meditating on the benches, suspected of practicing breathing, and left in satisfaction.
Then he took Huaxi on the bus and walked aimlessly around the city to help her adapt and teach her some common sense. The general principle is to learn to keep a low profile.
They went shopping like this until noon, and the two found a buffet in the business district, and had a good meal. According to Lin Tuo's words, it was:
"You can eat as much as you want from this store, as long as you don't get overwhelmed. You are so thin and need to supplement your nutrition."
And hearing the words "Eat whatever you want", Huaxi's eyes almost turned red.
While eating, activate abilities, consume food to repair hidden wounds on the body.
After eating a meal, not only the many small injuries accumulated in the body healed, but the whole person looked radiant.
Of course... still skinny.
This is not an injury, you can only take it slowly.
…
Considering that Huaxi needs time to digest the cognition, after lunch, Lin Tuo took her back to Lishan. There was no "teleportation" and the car was convenient for finding the way.
When the two got out of the car, carried the purchased daily necessities, walked through the town, and arrived at the foot of Li Mountain, even Lin Tuo felt a burst of exhaustion.
Not physically tired, but mentally tired.
"Did you see that building on the mountain? That's where I live, and you will live here from now on. I'll buy you an online class to learn the language of this world when I go back, so that it will be convenient for you to communicate when you go out..."
Carrying big and small packages, the two walked along the mountain road under the summer sun. Lin Tuo talked while walking, and Huaxi listened while walking.
Anyway, there is no one else around, so you don't have to speak so softly, you can be more unscrupulous.
And just when the two were about to walk outside the martial arts hall, Huaxi who had been listening silently said suddenly:
"Can I ask that question now?"
Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, and said, "Ask."
Of course he understood what Huaxi wanted to ask.
And this morning, he also figured out how to answer.
"So, are you a god?" Huaxi asked seriously.
On the mountain road.
Lin Tuo raised his hand to wipe his sweat, felt the wind blowing from the Taihe Mountains, shook his head firmly, and said calmly:
"I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person with better luck."
