Chapter 70 Return to Tingsong and meet Qingwen again

As her vision changed, she returned to her room.

Outside the window, the cactus is still standing upright, with more lush white flowers on it that are more gorgeous.

It sensed its owner's return and twisted its body happily, conveying its joy and happiness to her.

A white flower was swaying outside the window, and Gu Wenyue opened the window and let it fly in. Suddenly, the room was filled with a fresh fragrance.

A burst of noise came from the front yard, and Gu Wenyue subconsciously turned his head and looked at the tightly closed window opposite.

Her room was located on the east side of the building, with the door on the west and windows on the other three sides.

At this moment, the sound came from the window on the south side, which was the location of the front yard.

Through the window, the first thing she saw were the two familiar yet unfamiliar figures next to the lettuce.

It was Zhang Qingwen and her father Zhang Yulai. Lettuce's charm seemed to be particularly useful to humans. The two of them fell to the ground, blinking unconsciously.

Gu Wenyue felt a faint fluctuation of supernatural powers from Zhang Yulai. It seemed that he had supernatural powers to enter the yard and steal.

Perhaps there was not much food left in their house and it was almost sold out. At this moment, the two men looked miserable, their faces were yellow with hunger, and they were shaking.

The Zhang family members didn't want to build a village in exchange for food like other people did, nor did they want to risk their lives to go out and look for food, so they came up with the crooked idea of ​​stealing things from the Gu family.

Gu Wenyue frowned and communicated with Lettuce in her mind. Knowing that it could still be controlled for a long time, she summoned Rose with confidence.

The rose understood what she meant instantly. Its roots took root beside the cactus and in the blink of an eye it grew to the same height as the window. Roses of various colors quickly bloomed on the thick branches, which waved outside the window, motioning Gu Wenyue to come up.

She shook her head and laughed, then swiftly jumped over the window, stood on the roses, turned around and closed the window again.

The rose moved its branches quickly and steadily until it placed Gu Wenyue outside the village wall, and its huge branches swayed happily in the air.

Until Gu Wenyue touched its branches in a praising manner, it quickly pulled up its roots, shrunk into a bracelet, and wore it firmly on Gu Wenyue's delicate wrist.

Before the end of the world, Zhang Longmao had asked people to build a solid protective net around the village. After the end of the world, he organized villagers to build another high wall inside the protective net, leaving more than two meters of open space between the two barriers.

The vegetation outside the village had obviously been cleared, and the originally green place now revealed mottled yellow-brown land, with only the increasingly lush vegetation growing in the distance.

At this moment, Gu Wenyue stood outside the protective net. The old asphalt lay alone on the road, forming a dividing line between Tingsong Village and the hillside.

She brought her family out of the space and gave them a brief account of the situation at home.

Gu Jinguo's thick eyebrows tightened as he listened, and his stern tone was filled with contempt: "Humph, this family is a group of heartless hypocritical villains. Since they bumped into us this time, let's teach them a lesson."

The black SUV bypassed the road leading into the village and turned out from a small intersection.

There are several paths near Tingsong Village. The one they took just passed by the edge of the woods and turned to the main entrance of the village.

They need to create the illusion of coming back from outside.

All the trees within a few dozen meters near the village have been cleared, and further away, sparse vegetation begins to appear, which is obviously the result of regrowth after the clearing.

After driving for a few minutes, the vegetation returned to its former lush appearance, even more lush than before the apocalypse.

Gu Wenyue took the rose off her wrist and let it transform into a small human figure, staying near her. But Bi Yi flew into the carriage, picked the reddest and most colorful flower from the top of the rose, and put it on his own head.

The rose had a small body and this time there were only three flowers on its head. After one of them was picked by that hateful rag doll, the whole flower became visibly irritable. However, both parties took into consideration Gu Wenyue who was standing next to them, and began to compete secretly.

While the flower and the child were competing with each other, the car stopped.

Zhao Minan's psychic abilities had never been retracted since she entered the woods. She whispered, "There are no mutant plants nearby."

After saying that, she raised her right hand, lowered the car window, and waved back. A slightly shabby van appeared out of thin air behind the car, and the van was filled with drinking water and rice and flour.

Gu Wenxing consciously got out of the passenger seat and sat in the van, and the two vehicles started again.

The corn near the village had all been harvested long ago, and the stalks had been cleaned up, but at this moment, the places that should have been planted with crops were full of weeds.

When the sunlight jumped out of the clouds, they finally arrived at the entrance of Tingsong Village.

The iron gate at the entrance of the village has not changed, but the surrounding protection is obviously better, and there is even a ten-meter-high observation tower next to it.

Liu Shaoyuan, who was guarding the gate, heard the sound of a car driving, leaned his head out from the observation deck, saw the familiar license plate number, and a big smile appeared on his face.

He immediately trotted down and opened the door skillfully.

The two cars slowed down. Gu Jinguo rolled down the window, his eyes bright as he asked, "Sanyuanzi, how is the village these days?"

San Yuanzi's smile faded a little, but he still replied: "Uncle Gu, the village is fine. Are you going out again after you come back this time?"

His eyes swept across the back seat of the car. Gu Wenyue was sitting alone, and the rest of the place was piled high with boxes. Then he looked away again.

"I'll have to go out again in a few days, so let's go home first." Gu Jinguo said, and the two cars left the village entrance. Liu Shaoyuan closed the iron gate tightly again.

The pair of eyes watched the two cars of the Gu family until they reached the end of the intersection, then returned to the observation deck.

The village was very quiet. There were dark red dried bloodstains on the walls of many houses. Although there was still no dust on the road, the vegetation in the village had been cleared and it looked very deserted.

Only the ginkgo tree with increasingly luxuriant branches and leaves still stands in the village.

Such a long time has passed, and everyone has adapted to life in the end times, with every household keeping their doors closed.

After passing the center of the village, we saw a few figures. They were holding things in their arms and walking quickly forward with their heads down. When they heard the sound of a car, they looked up vigilantly, but when they saw that it was someone from the Gu family, they relaxed, greeted them, and hurried away again.

Gu Jinguo looked in the direction the man came from and saw a few lonely small stalls over there. It seemed that the villagers were spontaneously exchanging supplies.

He remembered the closed store he had just passed, so he slowly parked the car aside, walked to the back, motioned for Gu Wenxing to get out, and drove the SUV back first.

The few people had agreed earlier that this truck of supplies would be handed over to Zhang Longmao to be at his disposal. After all, they would be living here in the future, so such a small amount of supplies would be enough.

It's just a matter of gratitude and resentment. No matter how much supplies they have, they will not be fully responsible for the lives of the villagers.

He drove the van skillfully through the village and soon stopped in front of Zhang Longmao's house.

Gu Jinguo knocked on the iron gate. Soon, footsteps were heard and the door opened. He saw Zhang Longmao, who looked obviously much more haggard.

 My dears, today we have two new chapters. Go to bed early, good night~
