Neighbors in forbidden land

Potatoes are in very bad condition.

Anyone can see this.

I once felt that these potatoes brought back the long-lost color of this land, and they also possessed the long-lost vigorous life in this land.

But now, the potato plants in front of me are covered with gray and white spots, and the original emerald green leaves are gradually turning yellow, and the vitality is slowly passing away with time, just like those vines.

It just spread itself to this land, but failed to usher in a full bloom after all.

"Can't...do something?" Lan Xue asked me softly, and I could only shake my head in response. If Yimi doesn't know the answer to this question, it's even more impossible for me to know.

The reason why Lan Xue didn't ask Yimi was because Yimi fell into deep thought after learning about Potato's condition, and her whole body exuded a heavy breath.

Even Xiao Gu, who is usually lively, was silent, but anxiously pulled Raimi's clothes with his fingers, probably hoping that Yimi, who had been motionless and silent since entering the cave, would respond.

After a long time, Yimi sighed deeply: "It seems...it's a failure this time?"

"Hmm..." I nodded lightly, the condition of these potato plants is almost the same as that of those vines, lost the green they should have been almost invisible, only dry and distorted pale.

"Although it's a pity...but it's like this." Yimi turned around, looked at the three of us, and smiled wryly, "I may have thought this matter too simply."

"That's it?" Lan Xue seemed to be unable to believe Yimi's words, and slightly parted her lips in surprise.

"Yeah." Yimi just nodded lightly, "These may have to be dealt with."

After Yimi said this calmly, she walked away from the potato field and made way for us.

Is this what you mean by let's deal with it?

I walked slowly into the potato field and easily crushed a potato plant. As long as I swept it with my tail, it would basically be crushed into brown dust and melt into the soil.

"Ah...it's broken."

"..."

Xiao Gu and Lan Xue looked at me with different expressions, Xiao Gu just muttered softly, and Lan Xue fell silent.

"Let's go, we have other things to do, we can't be depressed here." Yimi's complexion looked much better than before, and she encouraged us with a chuckle, "At least, we didn't get nothing, right? ?

The next two, we walked together to the river where the seeds had been buried, where small sprouts emerged.

The pale seedlings have a light color, and they are trying hard to emerge, very similar to the former potato plants, with their own vitality.

Although we can't see anything about them now, and not every place where pits are dug has this fragile life.

"Here...is there some success?" Yimi asked softly. "Hmm." At least the current ones look much better than the potato plants I dropped just now, without any obvious harmful colors, although the current ones themselves don't have too obvious colors.

"That's good..." Yimi just sighed softly, but instead, Lan Xue squatted beside those seedlings, gently touching those tender larvae with her hands.

"Scenes like this are not common anymore..." Lan Xue just shook the small wings behind her slightly, and said in a nostalgic tone.

Today's Lan Xue didn't have the usual haughty attitude, her whole body was as quiet as if she could see it with her eyes, even when the wobbly little Gu wanted to squat down to look at the seedlings but almost fell down, Lan Xue just supported her and said "be careful" softly.

He didn't tease Little Goo as usual, and he didn't call her Ancient Loach anymore.

Even Xiao Gu felt extremely puzzled, staring at those big white eyes: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things that happened in the past." Lan Xue raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Gu's head, "I can clear a forest with the wind pressure of my wingspan, but I don't know why I feel that even if it is a dragon, life may be just as fragile."

"Hmm... I don't understand."

"You will understand when you grow up, little loach."

"You called me loach again!"

Yimi, who seemed to have heard the movement of Xiao Gu and Lan Xue, did not squat down, but smiled softly:

"Little black."

"I'm here."

"Do you think we can succeed next time?"

"...I don't know." I originally thought that it would be successful this time.

"Yes... But no matter what, what should be done must continue."

Then we came to the river ditch, where the green apple seeds were buried last time, this time...it doesn't look much different from the last time.

Unlike those seeds, these seeds don't even have the slightest intention of emerging.

"The situation here...isn't that good?" Yimi just asked casually.

"It didn't grow out at all..."

"Okay... at least that's what I guessed, but let's put some fertilizer on later."

So, we returned to the stronghold again and started repairing the ship.

This time, the main purpose is to clean up all the extra things on the deck and fix the boat to avoid any accidents when the wind and rain are too heavy.

"I originally planned to use a more beautiful method to fix the boat...I remember seeing people in the palace use this when they built brackets and repaired houses." Yimi took out several strands from the boat. The rope I found, "But will any of you know how to use this?"

Shaking his head, shaking his head, didn't move.

The reactions of the three of us have decided that we can only rely on the "most primitive" method that Yimi said to fix the ship.

That is to use things that are big enough and heavy enough to pile up around the ship, so that you don't have to worry about the safety of the ship.So Lan Xue and I moved the boulders we found to protect the potato fields that time, and placed them beside the ship, basically leaving some gaps for entry and exit, while Xiao Gu found them from the sea. Some boulders were placed near the sea to support the overturned ship from the sea, and a gap was also left where the ship touched the sea for Goo to enter and exit from the sea.

If you look at it this way... the ship seems to be surrounded by boulders.

"Although I haven't tried it, I always feel very stable." Yimi touched the boulders with his hands, and said with emotion, "I'll try to live in it after I've done a little work inside."

"Okay.", "Oh!" Although Xiaogu and I responded to Yimi's words full of energy, Lan Xue just squinted her red eyes and looked up at the huge broken ship: "This kind of thing can do it. Is it?"

"At least it can sail at sea, so there should be a weatherproof design..."

"But isn't it broken?"

"..." Lan Xue's continuous questioning made Yimi fall into silence.

"Okay, okay! In short, you have to try it to know, right? Besides, even if there is a problem, isn't there still Xiao Hei?" Yimi who thought for a while replied hastily, and at the same time put his arms around my shoulders. I held it in my arms.

"What about me?" Xiao Gu kept waving his hands, so Yimi grabbed Xiao Gu's waist and pulled her to his side:

"Yes, there's also Goo."

Lan Xue just glanced at Xiao Gu and me, and waved her hand lightly: "It feels like you can live to this day as a human being because of the two of them..."

"This...it's true." As a result, Yimi's frank admission left Lan Xue at a loss for what to say, "Without them, I should have died long ago."

Yimi's hand that embraced my shoulders slightly strengthened, and I raised my head to look at her face. There was no trace of haze on her face, but a calm smile.

"Of course thank you for your help."

"It turns out I was just incidental."

"After all, our potatoes are about to be planted."

"...I saw your results this time, and I really doubt whether I froze to death the potatoes last time." Lan Xue crossed her hips and walked up to Yimi, slightly tiptoed and tried to look at Yimi, although she failed Yes, but suspicion has already come out from the squinted eyes, "You are not lying to me, are you?"

"How is it possible...the last time it grew very well..." I hurriedly explained, after all, last time I saw those green leaves popping out.

"Then why are they all dead this time?"

"This...how do I know..." As a result, Yimi's originally agitated voice became smaller and smaller, and she could only turn her face away.

"Forget it... Since I have helped so much, I don't mind doing more. Who made us dragons so magnanimous?" Lan Xue raised a hand to her chest and said with a smile.

"You can still say this sentence after freezing someone else's potato casually... It really is 'magnanimous'..."

"It really is a strange guy." But Lan Xue ignored the voices of Yimi and Xiaogu, and just continued: "Following you, I have indeed seen many things that I had no chance to see before. Gotta say thank you."

"In these aspects, you are very sensible..." Yimi's expression was full of surprise, but Lan Xue just slightly puffed up her chest: "Of course, my brother has taught me these things."

"By the way." Yimi asked as if remembering something, "You always mention your brother...you come to help us every day, don't you worry about your brother?"

Hearing Yimi's words, the smile on Lan Xue's face became brighter, and she straightened the horns on her forehead: "I am a dragon, and there are not many things in this land that can threaten me. ,Moreover……"

At this moment, the smile on Lan Xue's face turned into a helpless wry smile, and she turned her face to the north: "...how do you know he's not secretly worried?"

I followed her gaze, and at that moment, I saw a golden shadow about our size rushing out from behind the mountain at a very fast speed, and flew away towards the north.

A few seconds later, a gust of wind from the north swept across the beach.

"What's that?" Little Gu asked, staring at his big white eyes.

"It's just a certain idiot brother." Lan Xue just sighed, but the smile on her face didn't disappear.

"What are you talking about?" Only Yimi, who kept her eyes closed, was puzzled.

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

Later, Yimi finally finished the first piece of clothing. She called me to the cave in the stronghold alone, lowered her head, held the clothes in her hands, and slowly handed them to me: "This... After all, it is For the first time... I don't have much experience...so..."

"Is this for me?"

"Hmm..." Yimi didn't look up, but just nodded slightly.

"The question is...how do I wear this?"

Although I always watched Yimi change dresses and cloaks back and forth, I never figured out how human clothes are worn.

Silent, with her head lowered and trembling slightly, Yimina's snow-white neck was a little red under the light of the goblin.

"Come here." Immediately, Yimi took my arm and pushed me to the depths of the cave, making me face the innermost wooden boxes.

"Put away the wings and tail." I immediately retracted the wingspan closer to the body, and threw the tail directly to the side.

"Raise your hand." Yimi, who took a deep breath, just gave this simple instruction, and I slowly raised my hand according to her request.

So Yimi took off the cloak from behind me as usual when taking a bath, but this time the action was a bit big so she also took off a lot of leaves, even a vine.

"Huh..." Yimi took another deep breath slowly, then picked up something and wrapped it around my chest, and pulled it back lightly. "Ah..." Immediately, an indescribable feeling rushed from my chest to my whole body. This is not the first time I have felt this way, but I have never understood why this body behaves like this.

"Don't make strange noises...does it hurt? Tight...does it?" Yimi's movements stopped, and I noticed a piece of cloth wrapping around from behind me to gently press the protuberance of my chest Living.

"It doesn't hurt...it doesn't matter..." The strange feeling disappeared quickly, but I didn't know how to judge the two feelings Yimi mentioned, so I could only answer like this.

"That's good..." After that, Yimi's hands seemed to be trembling and wrapped the strip of cloth around my chest several times, and then tied it tightly behind me. A slight sense of pressure came from my chest, but only It lasted for a short time, "I haven't studied how to make underwear... let's just leave it like this for now... Next, Xiao Hei, make your hands into fists, so as not to scratch your clothes..."

I quickly squeezed my hands tightly according to Yimi's instructions, and then let Yimi's hand hold my arm to adjust the movement. Yimi's fingers slid across my body, put the clothes on me, and then put the clothes on me. A skirt-like dress went around my waist and was slowly buttoned up.

"It's finally healed..." Yimi gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Let's go to the beach and have a look."

"Yimi, are you... are you hot..."

"It's not all because of you, Xiao Hei..."

"Ok?"

"……nothing."

Walking outside the cave, I took a look at my body with the sunlight shining from the top of my head, but I couldn't see clearly because of the limited vision.There is always a strange feeling when wearing this clothes, as if something will float with you when you move your body.

And Yimi just walked beside me quietly with her hands behind her back.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing……"

Until we got to the beach—

"Ah! Black has changed!"

"It does look a little different...but that's it?"

This is the reaction of Xiao Gu and Lan Xue.

"Go to the beach and have a look." I walked slowly to the beach according to Yimi's words, and looked at the figure reflected on the calm sea.

It was a girl with a white single ponytail. She was wearing a white top with a brown shawl. The left sleeve reached to her wrist, but the right had no sleeves. Her lower body was a skirt that was much thicker than Yimi's dress. It is a short brown skirt, the thighs with black stripes are exposed under the skirt, and the skirt behind the waist is extended backwards with two white cloth strips, which are separated on both sides of the tail like wingspan, drooping slightly on the ground.

This is... me.

I touched my face with my hands, and the girl in the sea touched my face with her hands.

"That's why I have to change it in the cave, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to watch it myself..." Yimi seemed to say something in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing! I'm just saying you know how troublesome it is for me to make this dress for you... Basically, it's all cut out of various clothes to make up... and to make room for the wings and tail Sad..." In the end, Yimi, who kept talking, was suddenly hugged by Xiao Gu from behind.

"I want it too! I want it too! I know it's black if I'm partial!" Xiao Gu kept yelling and shaking Yimi in her arms, so Yimi had to comfort her: "No, next time This piece belongs to you, Guo."

"Really?"

"real."

"Great!" Xiao Gu, who finally stopped, began to shake Yimi in his arms again.

"Thank you." Looking at the smiling Yimi, I said the word.

Thank you for giving me so much.

"Need not--"

"Although you are very happy now, I have a question." Before Yimi finished speaking, Lan Xue, who had been silently staring at the east from just now, interrupted, "Here... are you the only human being? ?”

"Eh? Yeah? What's the matter?" At this time, the smile on Yimi's face turned into doubt, and she hurriedly asked.

Lan Xue just smiled slightly:

"To the east, [-] meters away, there seem to be more... people like you."
