Qi Wang didn't feel that asking Li Deqiu for money would lower his style - he made money based on his skills, so he had nothing to be guilty of, not to mention that he never said at the beginning that he would be a free laborer.
A penny is hard for a hero. In the days before, Qi Huang had already learned deeply what it means to be unable to walk without money. Therefore, it is better for a person to have some money by his side.
The money Li Deqiu gave was not small, if he and Taoyao saved some money, it would probably be enough for the two of them for quite a long time.
With the money, the affairs of Taohua Village are almost settled, so Qi Wang said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and the others, and left Taohua Village with Taoyao.
This is the first time Taoyao has left Taohua Village, and she has seen the outside world. Compared with the small village of Taohua Village, the outside world is wider, and there are many other high-level people she has never seen or known. technology products.
Taoyao is like a bumpkin entering the city, feeling that her eyes are not enough.
"Brother, what is that? Why does it still spit out food automatically? I want it."
"Brother, that thing is so interesting, it can change shape automatically, it's really interesting, I want it too."
"Brother, brother, are those the legendary maglev cars? Can you buy me one?"
Tao Yao doesn't seem to know what kindness is, as long as she likes something, she immediately opens her mouth to ask Qi Wang for it. After a while, she has already asked Qi Wang for hamburger vending machines, service robots, and maglev trains.
Qi Wang looked at Taoyao expressionlessly: "I don't have money to buy it for you."
Tao Yao blinked her eyes, and looked at Qi Wang with some puzzlement: "Didn't you get a lot of money from that guy Li Deqiu? Why do you still say you have no money?"
This guy obviously doesn't have a specific understanding of money, which is used by human society for consumption. He thinks that if he has money, he can afford everything, but...
"My money can only ensure that the two of us have something to eat and a place to live. If you want to meet more of your needs, you need to make money yourself."
Tao Yao: "..."
In the end, Qi Wang bought two hamburgers for Taoyao, took her to have a close look at the service robot, and then took her to a hotel with good value for money by public transportation.
Tao Yao: "..."
Life in the city seems to be not as free as in the small village, and what makes her feel uncomfortable is that the flowers, plants and trees here are all artificial, no matter how realistic they look and have the same smell as real plants, they are still not real. of.
"Human beings are really strange. If you are afraid, why put some fake flowers and plants on it? It makes you feel uncomfortable when you look at it. I really can't understand it. Do you humans like to deceive yourself like this?"
Although the hotel they stayed in was good value for money, it was not a makeshift one. Although the furnishings in the lobby were not magnificent, they still looked pleasing to the eye.
It's just that when Qi Wang checked in, Taoyao found a small landscape peach blossom tree planted in a flower pot in the corner of the hall. She couldn't help but leaned forward to have a look, only to find that peach blossom that looked very real The tree turned out to be fake.
In order to strike up a conversation with Taoyao, a young man standing on the other side tried his best to find a common topic to chat with her.
"The peach blossom tree in this landscape is beautiful, right? It doesn't look fake at all, just like the real peach blossom tree, but it's much better than the real peach blossom tree. The real plant becomes too aggressive after secondary mutation. , the danger is too high, this is different, it will never wither, not to mention, this fragrance is also extremely strong."
Seeing that Taoyao's attention was always on the peach blossom tree, the young man who talked to Taoyao couldn't help but leaned over and praised this thing vigorously. absolutely nothing.
However, the more he talked, Tao Yao's complexion became more and more ugly: "Stop talking, you..."
Tao Yao couldn't hide the hostility in her heart, and couldn't help raising her hand, but before she could make any movement, Qi Wang appeared behind her at some point, and grabbed her hand that was about to move.
"Taoyao, the accommodation procedures have been completed, we should go up."
There was no emotional change in Qi Wang's voice, but Taoyao saw the hidden meaning of warning in his eyes, and she suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, and she glared fiercely at the man who had just spoken. The young man took one look, followed Qi Huang and left without saying a word.
The young man didn't know that he had walked through life and death, he was a little dazed, and didn't quite understand why he was suddenly hated by others.
Is he doomed to be alone all his life? After finally meeting a girl, I thought what he said was quite pleasant, but the girl wanted to beat him...
Forget it, it seems that he is so annoying because he is not good at picking up conversations.
Qi Wang didn't care how to comfort the young man's wounded heart, he took Tao Yao to the room, and as soon as he entered, Tao Yao couldn't help questioning Qi Wang's soul.
She really can't understand the human brain circuit.
If it is really irreconcilable with mutated animals and plants, and cannot tolerate them living in the area where humans live, then why after driving all the mutated animals and plants to extinction, they pretend to make such substitutes
"I can't understand. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's really hard for people to understand how to eliminate us while creating our substitutes."
As Taoyao was talking, she suddenly felt less angry. Her anger came and went quickly. After that time, the previous righteous indignation disappeared for some reason. She sighed for a long time. With a sigh of relief, he sat back on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
"Actually, I suddenly felt that if I knew this was the case, maybe I shouldn't have had that second mutation in the first place. I didn't think so much, and I wouldn't be so troubled."
In the past, although Taoyao had a vague consciousness, she didn't have too many emotional changes. In her opinion, birth, old age, sickness and death are actually very normal things, even if there are some peach blossom trees in the village that are often cut off branches to make various She didn't have much feeling for this kind of object.
But when the secondary mutation occurred, everything changed, she thought more and more things, and there were more and more things she didn't understand, which made Taoyao often feel angry , But thinking about it carefully, she didn't know where her anger came from.
"I really don't understand why your human brains are so complicated?"
Just like she doesn't like bugs, when she has the ability, she kills all the bugs attached to her body, but she won't make some similar substitutes to replace those bugs in the past.
The likes and dislikes of human beings seem to be very random. They hate something, but they like the substitute of something. They don't want something to exist, but they want their substitute to exist in their world.
"I really can't understand it, can you tell me why?"
Tao Yao looked up at Qi Wang, her beautiful face was full of bewilderment, she really couldn't understand, that's why she wanted to get an answer from Qi Wang.
Qi Wang stared at Tao Yao for a while, then sat down on the chair opposite her.
"Humans are a very complicated existence. I think you should be very clear about this. It's not that human beings have chaotic preferences, but because human beings like beautiful but harmless things."
Those plants in the past existed in human life, embellishing the living environment of human beings, and the mood of human beings will become much better because of the existence of these plants.
Those plants are indispensable to human beings. Although they are not essential things, their existence also has a unique meaning to human beings.
Tao Yao said that she couldn't understand the thinking of human beings nowadays, but in fact she made a mistake from the very beginning.
Even before these plants had undergone secondary mutations, they existed in human life, and the mutated plants that lived with them were harmless to humans.
But when the secondary mutation occurred, the harmless became harmful, and humans naturally removed those things that would harm them for the first time, and replaced them with harmless substitutes of the same kind.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct engraved in human genes. When they find that mutated plants will cause harm to humans, nature will immediately expel those existences from the human life circle.
"The premise of peaceful coexistence is that other things will not cause harm to humans. When they are in danger, naturally they cannot continue to be in the same space with humans."
Tao Yao: "..."
Well, after being told by Qi Wang, she was even more confused, but she was too lazy to argue with Qi Wang about such meaningless things, anyway, her body was taken away by others, even if someone else made another one that was exactly like her It's not her anymore.
After hearing her whispered words, Qi Huan was silent for a while, and then said: "Humans don't think about problems from your standpoint, just like you don't think about problems from the standpoint of human beings. Humans are different."
Tao Yao: "..."
It doesn't make any sense to continue arguing about such things. Tao Yao has only been a human for a few days, so how can she argue more than Qi Wang
"Forget it, just leave me alone. Being a human being is really complicated. If I had known earlier, I would not be a human being."
She used to envy human beings who can walk freely and go wherever they want, but now she suddenly doesn't like being human.
Qi Wang: "Then do you want me to change you back?"
Tao Yao seemed to remember something, she shivered tremblingly, shook her head again and again and said: "Thank you, no need, I'm fine now, I just want to be quiet, can we stop chatting?"
Seeing her like this, Qi Wang didn't continue to say anything, he left the room to Taoyao, and went to the next room by himself, before leaving, he told Taoyao that he was next door, if there was anything he could call him directly One sound, he could hear it.
Taoyao replied with a dull voice, not sure if she listened to his words.
After Qi Wang left, Taoyao threw herself on the big soft bed, thinking of what Qi Wang said to her just now, Taoyao sighed a long time, feeling that being a human being is really boring.
"If possible, I still want to be a peach blossom tree. Being a peach blossom tree is much easier than being a human..."
She muttered something in a low voice and slowly closed her eyes.
"Captain Xiao, I want to ask you for leave."
After leaving Peach Blossom Village, Xiao Longfei, the escort, received two more deals. They helped their employer get rid of the disturbing mutant animals and plants, and got a lot of rewards.
These rewards are quite a lot. A team of ten people gets one point, and each person can still get a large amount of money. Seeing the huge amount of money in the account, everyone is in a good mood.
Staying together for such a long time is enough for everyone to get acquainted. When everyone is together, they are not as cold as they are in front of outsiders. They chat like ordinary friends, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.
When returning to the city to rest, Qi Shaoqin found Xiao Longfei and told him that he was going to ask for leave.
However, Xiao Longfei asked a little unexpectedly: "Shaoqin, what kind of leave are you asking for?"
Xiao Longfei still likes Qi Shaoqin as a team member. Although she doesn't talk much and doesn't get along well with others, she has good strength and is very righteous. Xiao Longfei has a good impression of her.
Xiao Longfei was a little surprised to hear her asking for leave now. After all, as far as he knew, Qi Shaoqin and his family seemed to be having a very unpleasant quarrel. In the past, when they had holidays, Qi Shaoqin would rather stay alone than go home.
However, Xiao Longfei has never been interested in exploring the family affairs of the team members. Every family has its own difficult scriptures. If people are willing to talk about it, then they just listen to it. people.
She came to ask her to ask for leave now, could it be related to the affairs of Taohua Village
Xiao Longfei had heard privately from the team members that Qi Shaoqin seemed to have seen his family there, and the reason why he had a conflict with the Psychic in Peach Blossom Village was also because of family matters. Now that she is asking for leave, it is possible that she wanted to go back to Peach Blossom Village go
Xiao Longfei thought about it, and asked the same question: "Do you want to go back to Peach Blossom Village?"
Qi Shaoqin did not hide this point, she nodded and said: "Yes, I want to go back."
There is nothing shameful about this, Qi Shaoqin naturally admitted it openly.
However, Xiao Longfei frowned, and said with disapproval: "Shaoqin, I think you should think carefully before making a decision. We had a bad fight with the people in Taohua Village before, and that Li Deqiu is not a tolerant person." , when we are all here, he dare not do anything, but if you are alone, I am afraid there will be some trouble."
He really cares about Qi Shaoqin, but Qi Shaoqin has his own plans: "Captain Xiao, thank you for your kindness, but I have a reason to go back, and I am a member of the guard, no matter how careful Li Deqiu is, he will Don't dare to do anything to me."
Seeing her persistence, Xiao Longfei didn't say anything more, approved her leave and let her go.
Qi Shaoqin didn't stay too long, and quickly packed up his things and left.
Seeing Qi Shaoqin like this, the other team members couldn't help questioning Xiao Longfei, knowing that she had returned to Taohua Village to find someone, everyone looked at each other, feeling a little strange.
But it seems that the person in Taohua Village is still very important to Qi Shaoqin, otherwise she would not go back to find him.
It's just that the relationship between everyone is not that close. After casually expressing concern, they turned their attention to other things.
By the time Qi Shaoqin rushed back to Taohua Village, it was already two days later, and at this time Qi Wang had already left, Qi Shaoqin was in vain, not much but she didn't feel much lost.
She learned a lot of news from the villagers, and at the same time confirmed the conjecture in her heart.
Qi Wang didn't die, not only did he not die, but his mental strength seemed to have improved a lot, and he didn't know what kind of adventures he had during the time he left Qi's house.
Of course, when Qi Shaoqin came to Peach Blossom Village, she was not without encountering difficulties, but she quickly found out the family that Qi Huang once lived in from the clues of what everyone said.
Qi Minhe was not young, but perhaps because he hadn't seen the world much, he was quite easy to deceive. Qi Shaoqin had already got the news he wanted to know without much effort.
"If Sheng Yueying knows that Qi Wang is still alive, I don't know what kind of expression she will have."
An intriguing smile appeared on Qi Shaoqin's face. After thinking for a while, she quickly made a decision.
During this period of time, Sheng Yueying's life became sad. After Qi Shaoqin left home, Liu Xiyue didn't know what happened. She seemed to remember her daughter's kindness, and she would find trouble with Sheng Yueying every now and then. , Sheng Yueying is not good at arguing with Liu Xiyue, life is so miserable.
After finally waiting for Qi Shaoyun's work to come to an end, she could find time to accompany her, but she never thought that Liu Xiyue would actually take a girl from her natal family to Qi's house.
Liu Xiyue said that she was a little lonely because Qi Shaoqin was gone, and wanted this girl to accompany her to relieve boredom, but anyone with a brain would know what her real purpose was.
Sheng Yueying was very upset, but because she wanted to maintain her personality, she couldn't express her thoughts, so she could only pretend to be out of her mind and preoccupied, hoping that Qi Shaoyun would find something wrong with her.
"Yueying, what's the matter with you these days? It seems like you have something on your mind, has something happened?"
That night, the husband and wife were lying on the big soft bed. Qi Shaoyun hugged his wife who seemed to have lost weight, and couldn't help asking her.
Sheng Yueying shook her head with a strong smile, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, maybe it's because of the hot weather recently, I don't have much appetite, it's nothing, you are so busy with work, don't worry about me."
"Yue Ying, you can't do this. Your body is not good. You have been raising it for so many years. If you don't take good care of it, it will do you no good. I am your husband. We are one. What's the matter?" Can you just talk to me directly?"
How sincere is Qi Shaoyun towards Sheng Yueying, and her words of concern were not faked at all. Sheng Yueying pursed her lips, as if moved by Qi Shaoyun's persuasion, she opened her mouth and talked about Liu Xiyue's plan to let her natal family The thing about my niece living here.
