Neighbors in forbidden land

Chapter 28 The Little Life That Blooms in the Dark Night

"I feel like our lives are simply irregular."

After planting the potatoes, Yimi said this.

Therefore, in order to live a better life, Yimi has formulated a more complicated policy for the future, so complicated that I have no way to understand some things.

First of all, Yimi decides to calculate the meal time by himself. To maintain a theoretical three-meal cycle, the time interval between the first meal and the second meal is six hours, and the time cycle between the second meal and the third meal is also six hours. The interval between three meals and the first meal of the "next day" is twelve hours.

Although Yimi does not have a tool to record time, and my concept of time is often only the sun in the sky, although I "probably" wake up Yimi for dinner about two hours after midnight according to the planned time. After being scolded by her...

The general situation now is to get up and wash up, then eat the leftover potatoes, water the potatoes that were planted after eating, and then set off to find Xiaogu, and eat the grilled fish caught by Xiaogu at the beach for the second meal, and then He played with Xiaogu at the beach, and returned to the cave when the sun was about to set. After that, he probably ate potatoes in the cave for the third meal, and then washed and slept.

In fact, each meal may deviate from the planned time by several hours, but Yimi said "in short, do as I say", so the meal time is mostly random.

"Obviously the time is messed up, how on earth did the maids in the palace calculate such a reasonable time for three meals..." This is what Yimi said when she threw the branch used to make the fire into the sea.

The second is the problem of food, and the problem of water has basically been solved. Yimi directly asked me to lead a river ditch to the beach, so as to solve the problem of drinking water when I went to find Xiaogu.

And the food... Although I don't need to eat it, Yimi insisted on the reason of "Xiao Hei, you have to eat more to grow your body" and always baked a potato for me, so the remaining potatoes were consumed very quickly.

I don't need to grow my body anymore, and even if I eat, I can't grow my body anymore.

In this case, of course, he couldn't tell Yimi.

This situation lasted for ten days.

"I said... Xiaohei." Yimi, who was standing in front of the field of twenty potatoes, called my name softly.

"The potatoes we've stockpiled...has it already been eaten?"

As a last resort, I flew to the area full of light gray rocks and mountains, tore the reborn Behemoth in half again, took it to the volcano and roasted it, and gave it to Yimi who was full of reluctance. .

"How is the potato field now...?"

There is not much difference between the ground with some white particles and the day it was planted.

"Xiao Hei, did you water it on time?"

One pour is one piece together.

"Did you pull out those vines?"

There were some vines that grew along the ground to this land before, so according to Yimi's request, I uprooted those vines and threw them thousands of meters away with my claws.

It is said that they will grab water.

"Then why can't it grow..." Yimi sighed anxiously.

"Is there not enough time..." Yimi herself was a little confused.

I don't know, but I think so.

Those vines and trees can only survive on their own.

But these potatoes get the water I give them.

and so……

"That's right... We have worked so hard, how could we not grow up?"

"Then... let's go and find Xiao Gu."

————————————————————————————————————————

Yimi and I walked through the scorching sun and came to the quiet seaside. The still blue sea and the light blue sky dotted with white clouds merge into a pure horizontal line in the distance. If you fly along the south, there It's where humans live.

However, neither I nor Yimi with closed eyes can see that far.

because--

"Gulu Gulu! (Yi! Hei! Here we come!)"

The little goo who was near the sea jumped up somersaults, setting off an arc of sea water in the air, shining twinkling lights in the sun.

"You can hear voices from such a distance...Little Gu is always so energetic..." There was a wry smile on Yimi's face, but she didn't look unhappy at all.

Now Xiao Gu's body began to undergo extremely obvious changes.

First of all, it is obviously long. The original round body seems to have been elongated, and it has exceeded two meters. The blue-black scales will emit the same color even if there is no sunlight. It has grown longer in the past, her two pectoral fins have become as sharp as blades, and there is a silvery white pointy horn at the bottom of her abdomen. I remember the last time she pounced on Yimi who was soaking in the sea. Accidentally scratched Yimi's hand.

The most obvious thing is her tail fin, which became bigger than her body, spread out in a fan shape, exuding flowing silver-white light, and a slight shake would drive the surrounding sea water to dance together.

It got closer to how I remembered it, and made me more and more convinced that I had seen her, or her before.

But this shouldn't be very important, right?It's all over after all.

"Ah... Listening to what you said, Xiao Hei, I want to see what Xiao Gu looks like now... I can't hold her anymore..."

"Gululu, lulu! (Yi, Hei, come to the sea!)"

Little Goo shook his elongated body and invited Yimi to go into the sea, forming a turbulent sea around him.

Although I can't be sure... But I always feel that Goo is not an ordinary monster.

At least it should be a monster that won't be affected by Yimi's magic eye, right? "Xiao Hei, are you kidding me? What if Xiao Gu dies?" Yimi puffed up her cheeks and said sternly.

Even if you die, you should be born again.

Although, in that case, she would no longer be a "little goo".

"Xiao Hei, why are you so stupid!" Yimi suddenly shouted.

"Even if Xiaogu doesn't die, I saw you from the sea after I opened my eyes, what should I do!"

"Gulu? (What's wrong?)" As if feeling that Yimi's mood was different from usual, Xiaogu stopped and floated on the surface of the sea, blinking non-stop. His white eyes looked at me and me back and forth. Yimi.

I did not expect that.

Although I am not affected by the magic eye of Yimi.

But if she opens her eyes, she will see.

real me.

Dark... Calamity.

"Little Gu won't die...Xiao Hei, you will..." Yimi's voice was mixed with the slight sea breeze, intermittently in the invisible micro-current.

"If you die... what should I do..."

Even if all the people, all the monsters, and all the plants in this world are dead.

I won't die either.

"So..." Yimi took a breath and squeezed out a fragile smile, "Stop making such jokes."

"Gulu Gulu? (Yi, Hei, what's wrong?)"

Although Xiao Gu couldn't understand her, I still answered her in human language.

"Xiaohei, are you talking to Xiaogu again?" Yimi who recovered a little raised her head, trying to adjust her emotions, "I always feel that I am excluded."

"Ah... One day I can learn to communicate with Xiaogu, and then I will have a lot of private conversations with her, and I will definitely not tell Xiaohei you!"

I saw the same smile on Yimi's face as before.

Now Yimi's mood changes faster than before.

This... should be a good thing, right?

"Xiao Hei, you are stupid! The whisper means that Xiao Gu won't tell you!" Yimi stuck out her pink tongue softly, and said to Xiao Gu in the sea, "Right? Xiao Gu?"

"Gulu Gulu! (Yi, Hei, come down to the sea!)" It seemed that Xiao Gu, who found that Yimi's mood had improved, turned around in a circle, spitting out bubbles from his mouth, condensing on the sea surface, and then bursting , causing fine ripples.

"Xiao Hei, look at Xiao Gu and she also said you are stupid." Yimi pointed at Xiao Gu on the sea surface with a finger, and smiled.

"Hey...don't deny it."

"Gulu Gulu! (Water splash!)" Xiaogu said, using his silver-white tail fin to stir up a large piece of sea water, hitting Yimi and me directly.

"Little Gu... I've said it several times, don't pour sea water on me..."

"Gululu, Gululu. (Yi, Hei, touch the sea water.)"

"Ah...what a child..." Yimi helplessly covered her head with her hands, but she was smiling.

Recently, Yimi has also been smiling more than before.

This is also very good.

————————————————————————————————————————

By the time we returned to the cave, the sun had already set, clouds covered the sky, and there was a whistling wind around, which made the cloak on Yimi sway constantly, and a few leaves were blown away again.

While I used my paws to help Yimi block the wind, I pointed out the way back to the cave for Yimi.

"Wait." While talking, Yimi turned to the front left, heading towards the field where the potatoes were planted, "Is the potato planted in this direction? I want to see what's going on over there..."

As a result, when I moved my gaze over there.

I saw it.

Even in the darkness that was beginning to thicken with night, I saw it.

Emerging from the soil, the only one with a little brownish white bud.

Like the plants in this forbidden land.

once--

At some point, tiny and fragile sprouts emerge from the barren land, blooming their own life almost with difficulty.

There are no flowers, no leaves, only dry trunks, extending towards the sky and the sun.

At some point, their lives disappeared like this, leaving a withered yellow shell, which was taken away by the blowing wind and crushed into dust in the air.

I don't know when it disappeared.

Even so, there are plants that survive.

Even so there are plants that have once again landed on the land.

The time of many plants was exchanged for the survival of those few plants.

But even so.

It will eventually wither.

From the day I saw the world.

How many flowers are blooming.

How many flowers are thanked.

How many lives are born.

How many lives have been lost.

But only this time.

Yimi and I worked hard to plant it together.

This little bud, this little life.

Blooming alone in the dark night, his fragility.

His uniqueness.
