Although the woman in the guard was not pretty, Taoyao was still willing to have a good talk with her because of her unique temperament.
She finished introducing herself, but there was no response from the other party. Tao Yao tilted her head and said in a puzzled way: "According to human social etiquette, I introduced myself, should you also introduce yourself? You what is it call?"
Tao Yao's straightforward question made the young woman interested, she laughed, and said softly, "My name is Qi Shaoqin."
Tao Yao didn't find anything wrong with the name, she just thought it sounded nice, so she praised without hesitation: "Your name sounds nice, just like mine. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing Taoyao's hand stretched out towards her, Qi Shaoqin raised her eyebrows, then reached out and held Taoyao's hand.
Her hands were a little cold, but the skin was unexpectedly soft, completely different from her calloused palms, smooth and tender to the touch, making people feel extremely comfortable.
But Qi Shaoqin didn't feel nostalgic for this, and quickly withdrew his hand.
"You look very beautiful. I have seen a similar face like this before. I don't know if you two know each other."
It was also because of her face that Qi Shaoqin noticed Taoyao just now.
Tao Yao was born beautiful, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is astonishing, she is so beautiful that she seems to be able to shine, when standing in the crowd, the first person everyone notices is her.
Qi Shaoqin has seen many good-looking people, but it can be said that people who are as good-looking as Taoyao are rare, and Qi Shaoqin has seen her face countless times.
It's just that the person is clearly dead, and the person in front of him is a woman, so it can't be that person.
She just lost her composure, and soon returned to her normal appearance. After a brief exchange with Taoyao, Qi Shaoqin had a deep understanding of the beautiful woman in front of her.
Beautiful, simple, with some subtle tricks that can be seen at a glance, but it is harmless and will not make people feel bad.
She thought of another woman, and the smile on her face faded.
Originally, Qi Shaoqin didn't put that woman Sheng Yueying in her eyes. After all, in her eyes, although Sheng Yueying had scheming methods, those scheming methods were very simple and straightforward. Anyone with a little brain would not fall in love with her. When.
But Qi Shaoqin suffered a big somersault in the hands of someone like her. If it wasn't for Sheng Yueying, she would still be the second young lady in Qi's house, how could it be like it is now? Fall into this field
Thinking of that bitch Sheng Yueying, Qi Shaoqin couldn't suppress the hostility in his heart, and the smile on his face immediately cooled down, and Taoyao was very sensitive to people's emotions, so she quickly discovered Qi Shaoqin's emotional changes , although she didn't know why the other party suddenly changed her mood, but she didn't have the kindness to comfort the other party.
Fortunately, Qi Shaoqin is not the kind of unreasonable person, she took one last look at Taoyao's beautiful face, turned around and went back to the guard, she put on a serious face, and turned back into that serious stranger again. Nearby guard members.
The other members also knew Qi Shaoqin's character, and no one was looking for trouble at this time. Everyone stood there silently, waiting for Captain Xiao to finish the negotiation.
After a while, Li Deqiu and Captain Xiao finally finished communicating. Under the leadership of Li Deqiu, Captain Xiao began to eliminate the mutated peach blossom trees in the village.
Captain Xiao's strategy is very simple, doesn't it mean that those mutated peach blossom trees are all one? Then simply uproot all the peach blossom trees, and they will naturally no longer be demons.
Knowing that Captain Xiao was going to pull out all the peach blossom trees in Taohua Village, the villagers were a little reluctant. After all, many of these peach blossom trees were planted by themselves, and they have developed feelings for so many years. If they were all pulled out, Can Peach Blossom Village still be called Peach Blossom Village
Everyone talked a lot, and boldly asked Captain Xiao if there was any other way to deal with the mutated peach blossom tree.
"Captain Xiao, aren't you omnipotent? Then, is there any way for you to turn these mutated peach blossom trees into ordinary peach blossom trees? We planted them with our own hands. If we have feelings, if..."
However, Captain Xiao didn't wait for these people to finish, and interrupted them directly: "After the peach blossom tree undergoes a second mutation, it is no longer the original tree. If you want to keep them forcibly, then what will happen between you and them?" There is only one room left."
"Once the animals and plants after the second mutation become aggressive, there will be an endless relationship with humans. Either humans will get rid of these mutated animals and plants, or humans will be eliminated by these mutated animals and plants. There is no second way to live in peace. Either you live or they die, you choose."
Captain Xiao's words are extremely cruel, he will not take care of the fragile hearts of these villagers, and just say what he has, he does not believe that these people will choose to keep those mutated peach blossoms when their lives are threatened Tree.
Captain Xiao has seen a lot of things like this, and they have dealt with a lot of incidents during their time as the guards, regardless of how deeply human beings have feelings for those animals and plants before mutation, never mind what kind of traits those mutant animals and plants have. In a special sense, as long as their own safety is threatened, everyone's choices are the same, without any exception.
There may be saints in this world, but he believes that saints will definitely not be the people who invited him.
Sure enough, when they knew that there was only one of the two, the villagers who were hesitant and begged them to think of a solution before all shut their mouths and didn't say anything else.
A sneer flashed in Captain Xiao's eyes, and his voice was a little colder than before: "Now do you have anything to say? If you want to ask for mercy, then it is appropriate to say it now. If you don't want to, then you can say it later." There is no chance."
The villagers avoided Captain Xiao's gaze one after another, and no one made a sound.
And Captain Xiao didn't care, seeing that no one was coming out, he turned his head and looked at Li Deqiu: "Village Chief, can we take action now? Maybe you think you have enough money and are willing to pay a few more hours .”
Thinking of the frighteningly high fees charged by the guards, Li Deqiu shuddered. He didn't waste any more time and took the guards to clear the mutated peach blossom trees.
Tao Yao: "..."
Although Qi Wang said that now that she has become a human being, she can survive without relying on those peach blossom trees, but that is her body after all. Hearing these people say that her body should be cleared, what good can Taoyao do? complexion
Her gaze fell on the ubiquitous peach blossom trees in the village, and a look of loneliness appeared on her face.
She's going to be gone soon...
Probably because they found that Taoyao's mood was not right, Qi Minhe and the others quickly shifted their attention to Taoyao.
A beauty is a beauty, even if she showed such a listless appearance, it still did not damage her beauty. Seeing that Taoyao was in a bad mood, everyone tried their best to make her happy.
"Taoyao, what's wrong with you? You look in such a bad mood?"
"Taoyao, are you hungry? I have something to eat here, do you want to eat?"
"Taoyao, your complexion is not very good, do you want to rest? My house is nearby, why don't you go to my house to rest?"
However, what they did could not make Taoyao happy, on the contrary, because they kept circling around her, Taoyao felt a little bored.
She was a straightforward character, and she didn't like being with them, so she said it directly.
"I'm very annoying now, don't bother me anymore, I'm going back to find my brother."
Tao Yao didn't want to see how her main body was cleared, so after throwing down these words, she turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Taoyao like this, Qi Minhe, Liu Changming and the others couldn't help showing a deep worry on their faces.
"It was fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this?"
"Who knows? Shall we follow the past and take a look?"
"Don't you want it? Didn't she just say that she doesn't want us to follow? If she follows, will she be angry?"
After much deliberation, everyone still felt that they couldn't catch up, but Qi Minhe was an exception, he still chased Taoyao in the end.
Seeing that Qi Minhe didn't play cards according to common sense, everyone was a little angry: "What's going on with that guy? How could he catch up?"
"Yeah, Taoyao made it clear that she wants to be alone, so what's the matter with him following?"
Everyone's starting point is clearly the same, so how can Qi Minhe cheat openly
Seeing that everyone was filled with righteous indignation, Liu Changming said abruptly, "Have you forgotten that Mr. Qi lives in Qi Minhe's house?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately fell silent, yes, why did they forget this one? Tao Yao just said that she was going to find her brother, and Qi Wang lived at Qi Minhe's house, Qi Minhe is going home now, which is reasonable and reasonable, how can they stop him
Everyone: "..."
Forget it, bad luck, what can they do
On the other side, Qi Minhe had already chased after her, but looking at Taoyao's slender back, he finally didn't have the guts to go up and walk side by side with her, but stayed three meters behind her, just following Taoyao all the way. Yao returned home.
The moment Taoyao stepped into the door, Qi Huang woke up. He turned his head and looked over, and saw Taoyao's expression was sluggish, and he looked listless. He was not surprised, but attracted He waved her over.
Tao Yao walked over obediently, and squatted down next to Qi Wang. She raised her head, looked at Qi Wang's face that was very similar to herself, and said angrily: "What are those peach blossom trees hindering them?" What's the matter, why do you have to get rid of them?"
Obviously they got along very harmoniously in the past, didn't they? And in the past, the villagers also took good care of the peach blossom trees, deworming, pruning, fertilizing and watering them regularly, and even burning incense and saying some auspicious words to them during the festivals.
In the past, when tourists visited Peach Blossom Village, the villagers would repeatedly warn them not to harm the Peach Blossom Tree. When someone damaged the branches and carved characters on the trunk, some people came out to fine them and warned them not to do such a thing. things come.
As for the oldest peach blossom tree in the village, they even specially built a fence to surround that peach blossom tree, and told the story about the old peach blossom tree to the next generation.
Obviously both of them got along very well in the past, why did they give up those peach blossom trees in less than three months? Even personally invited the guards to get rid of the peach blossom tree
Could it be that all their past likings were fake
Tao Yao felt very sad in her heart, she didn't know where this emotion came from, she just felt very wronged, and there was also a sense of anger at being betrayed.
If there is no emotion, why bother to put on such an appearance of not wanting to part with the peach blossom tree at first
Afterwards, Qi Minhe, who followed after hearing Taoyao's words, couldn't help but froze there, and then he understood why Taoyao's mood had become abnormal just now, it seemed that she was sad because those peach blossom trees were about to be removed.
Qi Wang looked down at Taoyao who was depressed, and said, "You know the reason, don't you?"
Tao Yao looked at Qi Wang with wide eyes, apparently not understanding what the other party meant.
How would she know what the reason was? She is not human, how can she understand human thoughts
Seeing Taoyao's ignorant look, Qi Huang raised his hand and rubbed her hair, and said slowly: "Actually, the reason is very simple. People used to like peach blossom trees because they wouldn't hurt them. , not only has no impact on their lives, but will make their lives better, so naturally I like it."
But the situation is different now, the peach blossom tree has undergone a secondary mutation, and it is obvious that the secondary mutation has affected the survival of human beings. Their lives are threatened, so it is natural to eradicate the things that threaten their lives.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just because the interests of the two parties conflicted, and the Mutated Peach Blossom Tree had already stood on the opposite side of them, so it naturally became the one to be eliminated.
Tao Yao's expression became even more gloomy, and she whispered: "It's not what I want to become like this..."
It's not that she wanted to produce a second mutation, and she didn't hurt these humans, and none of them died under her hands. Just because of the possible danger, did she act first
"Humans have a word called "planning for a rainy day," and another word "prevention before it happens. Those mutated peach blossom trees have already shown their dangers. It's not surprising that they will do it."
Qi Wang explained that Tao Yao understood, and it was because of her understanding that she became more depressed.
At this time, she felt that her body was being attacked again, those peach blossom trees were killed one by one, and her heart sank slowly.
Taoyao felt some hostility in her heart, but when she looked up and saw Qi Wang's face, all the hostility dissipated.
Forget it, I can't beat it again and again, let alone Qi Wang, those guards are not easy to mess with, she can only watch her body being killed, but there is nothing she can do.
"I think it's better to be a human being."
