Volume 3 Chapter 43 Tang Tiande’s request
After Er Dai’s upgrade, the stone pressed against Shao Qing’s chest disappeared. She easily hugged Er Dai and fell asleep. Naturally, she did not discover that Er Dai, who stayed honestly in her arms, had a touch of red on his cheeks.
He vaguely remembered that he was called Fu Jingshen. Everyday he was exposed to darkness, darkness, and more darkness.
His father who was dedicated to seeking flowers*, as soon as his mother died, he brought his mistress and their child who was even older than him home.
* going to brothels
The jealous brother had tried to kill him several times. The most serious time, he was pushed off the stairs and got several st.i.tches on his head.
His father rarely visited him in the hospital, but the one time he did, he finally said in a nonchalant way: “You should be careful.”
At that time, he knew that no one would care about him except himself. Even his relatives were close to him just for money.
The last memory he had was Fu Jingmo pushing him into a zombie herd, then he was overwhelmed by the zombie herd. It was a painful, deep-rooted pain.
Following that was the only warm sun in his life.
There was a woman who would gently cut his nails, scold him when he wanted to eat the crystal nuclei fresh from the brain, and then wash the crystal nuclei clean to give to him.
She tenderly cared for him and protected him under her own wings. She was willing to sacrifice herself to save him.
Fu Jingshen will always remember that when this woman was carrying him and stepped out of Jing Du, step by step, she stood upright and left a pool of blood under her feet.
She said that for you, what if she had to fight against the world?
In this world, Fu Jingshen could not find a second person that would treat him like this.
For Fu Jingmo, he had a moment of resentment, but now it was grat.i.tude. Grat.i.tude because Fu Jingmo pushed him into the zombie group. Otherwise, with his character, even if he encountered Shao Qing, Shao Qing would never like him.
Selfish, indifferent, and a loner.
Now, he urgently needed to confirm that this warmth was not his dream.
When Shao Qing woke up the next day, she felt that the bundle she was holding had changed their posture. It had become like an octopus, wrapping her tightly.
“Wake up baby.” Shao Qing was held too tightly, there was no way to get up and wash. She could only wake Er Dai up in her arms.
Er Dai obviously wasn’t fully awake. He blinked and blinked, his eyes blurry: “Sleepy…”
Shao Qing didn’t respond at first. She reached out to get her clothes. By the time she got half, she suddenly reacted. Er Dai just talked!
She was shocked. Her fingertips were trembling. She finally hugged Er Dai: “Say it again, say it again!”
Er Dai was also stunned. He had never seen Shao Qing so lost. He looked dumbly, unsure of how to respond before finally whispering: “Qing…..”
At that moment, Shao Qing felt that her tears were coming out. She held him tightly for a while, and refused to let go. She was so emotional she didn’t know what to say.
She waited too long for this day, until her heart was sour. Shao Qing still remembered the first time Er Dai had let out a sound. She was so happy.
This time, Er Dai really talked.
It’s just that it’s been a long time since he had, so he could only let out one word at a time. Sometimes he would even be stuck.
Shao Qing was full of patience. She brushed her teeth, and after Er Dai had eaten, she began to patiently teach Er Dai to talk.
Er Dai spoke like a child. Not only does he say one word at a time, sometimes his words would be slurred. Shao Qing would have to consider the spoken word repeatedly to understand what Er Dai was saying……
She pulled out a book from her s.p.a.ce used to teach children. The reason why she stuffed this book into the s.p.a.ce was actually for Xiao Baozi.
She didn’t expect to use it for Er Dai in the end.
Er Dai looked silly. His speed of learning the characters was not slow. When Zhu Mochen came over to find her, Er Dai could already say an entire sentence.
For example: “Ah… Qing…. want…….. eat…… mixed….. sauce… noodles…”
This is one of the first sentences Er Dai learned. The thoughts of a foodie were probably beyond those of ordinary people.
“I will make it for you at night.” Shao Qing touched Er Dai’s head, then heard someone knock on the door. She walked over and opened the door. The person outside the door was Zhu Mochen.
“In the past few days, they have discussed with Tang Yaozu how to take the people away, and other issues, then they will go to meet the people in power of M country. Do you want to go?”
Shao Qing thought about it then shook her head: “I won’t partic.i.p.ate. When you guys form a team to go out to investigate the source of the insect disaster, then call me.”
“Okay.” Zhu Mochen nodded: “Then I’ll go first.”
Shao Qing nodded and sent Zhu Mochen off. She was too lazy to go to this kind of grand meeting, chatting to strike at opportunities.
It’s better to stay with Er Dai at home. Er Dai has just been able to talk. Her latest interest and favorite thing to do is point to something and have Er Dai call out its name.
Er Dai’s worried eyebrows were scrunched together, he looked very pitiful.
In the afternoon, Shao Qing looked at the time and was ready to go out to buy ingredients for dinner. She was unwilling to leave Er Dai alone at home, so the two went out together.
After going out, Shao Qing was still in a state of excitement. Pointing at the car and asking Er Dai for an answer, pointing to the building and asking Er Dai for an answer.
Er Dai’s expression was lifeless. He knew what a car was, but he didn’t really know what brand it was! He knew it was a building, but he really didn’t know if it was a restaurant or a game hall! He can also distinguish men and women, but he really does not know what their names are!
It can be seen how unreliable Shao Qing was in her excited state…
“Baby, what food shall we eat tonight?” Shao Qing asked Er Dai as soon as he entered the market. Er Dai was afraid that she would ask him suddenly about what vegetable things were?
He hurriedly said: “Mixed…sauce…Noodle…”
He had eaten mixed sauce noodles made by Shao Qing once, and the taste was very good. Since then, he could never forget it.
“Mixed sauce noodles…I almost forgot.” Shao Qing touched her chin and took Er Dai to start buying ingredients. Pork belly was definitely needed, but she didn’t find the meat she wanted in the market.
So she could only go out and hunt for it.
She still kept several bottles of the mixed sauce, which she found in some shops during the apocalypse.
She also needed some cuc.u.mbers, radishes, and green onions. They were indispensable. Besides the noodles, she also had to make something else since eating only the noodles would be too greasy.
So in addition to those items, she also bought some other things. When buying vegetables, she found that there were mangosteens in the base.
The mangosteen was very fresh. After peeling, the flesh inside was white and l.u.s.trous, it looked delicious.
Shao Qing couldn’t help but buy some. On the way back, she met Tang Tiande again. Shao Qing didn’t say a word. While Tang Tiande acted like a girl who was about to be a.s.saulted by a gangster. He screamed aloud and almost hid in the arms of the bodyguard beside him.
This time the bodyguards who followed him had been replaced, but they were still tall and big. Stunned, the bodyguard he used as a haven, stuttered: “Young Master Tang, I…I don’t like men… ”
He was so worried, he probably felt that his cuc.u.mber was about to be tarnished, but he was a straight man! Completely straight!
Tang Tiande, who was still nervous, became angry at the time: “Even if this young master is looking for men, they will not look like you!”
The other bodyguard became numb. That is, you are admitting that you like men?
Tang Tiande did not realize what he said. He was very reserved, and he said to Shao Qing with some fear: “Shao Qing… Cough, captain, this time I’m really just pa.s.sing by.”
Shao Qing nodded. She was not prepared to do anything to him. Er Dai then jumped out like a bear and hugged her tightly, the jealousy on his face was very obvious.
It’s been a long time since she felt Er Dai’s jealousy. Shao Qing suddenly felt a little something in her heart. This was probably the legendary cold outside but pa.s.sionate inside.
The cold exterior but warm interior Shao Qing lazily yawned and was ready to go home with Er Dai latched to her body. The sauce for the noodles needed a long time to make. In addition to cooking other dishes, she must start cooking earlier. She can not delay dinner.
Otherwise dinner will become a midnight meal.
Tang Tiande suddenly stopped Shao Qing: “Wait Captain Shao…” You could see that he was a little hesitant, he was very afraid of Shao Qing. Being able to call out for Shao Qing aloud was a very magical thing.
Tang Tiande said, “I want to talk to you about something.” Shao Qing looked at the time, and then said, “Ten minutes, don’t delay my cooking time.”
Tang Tiande quickly said: “Okay.” Then he consciously kept up with Shao Qing. The two bodyguards looked at each other, then felt bitter in their hearts. Did young master Tang fancy Shao Qing?
She was a woman who had a family. Young Master Tang wouldn’t be still chasing her right? That would just be rape.
He has done similar things in the past.
Although helpless, the two still had to keep up because their task was to protect Tang Tiande.
After returning to the place where they lived, Er Dai obediently turned into a mini follower, wherever Shao Qing went was wherever he went.
Tang Tiande sat on the sofa sternly. He watched Shao Qing put away the vegetables and fruits she bought. She took a few mangosteens, peeled out the flesh inside, sprinkled it with an unknown powder, then put it on a plate, and served it.
Tang Tiande unconsciously reached for the plate, and said: “Thank you.”
Then he got empty air…
Shao Qing calmly put the plate in front of Er Dai. She touched Er Dai’s head and told him: “Don’t eat too much, you will eat noodles in a bit.” Then she said to Tang Tiande: “It’s not for you.”
Tang Tiande: …
After the incident, Shao Qing sat on the sofa and immediately dug at a piece of mangosteen. Shao Qing opened her mouth to bite, then asked: “What are you going to tell me?”
Tang Tiande first spoke to the two bodyguards around him: “You two go out first.”
The two bodyguards looked at each other, they were not willing to go out. They wanted to exhort Tang Tiande. What if you fancy that person? Can’t you see that they have an attractive young man? Do you want to break away from the two of us, bully the pretty boy, and then force yourself on the person?
They decided to go outside honestly. Even if they heard the sound of Tang Tiande getting beat by the other two, they would not go in. This was because Tang Tiande told them to go =v=
They have been watching this calf for a long time and have not been pleased for a while.
After the two bodyguards left, Tang Tiande honestly said: “The truth is this. My father had always wanted to return to China. This is because he feels that in country M, he is an outsider. So even after going back and having to start from scratch, it doesn’t matter. It was fine as long as he was back in his home country. But, not everyone’s thoughts are like this. They think that country M is fine and they already have such great power, why should they go back to China and start from the beginning? So there was some disagreement. At first I thought the differences had been resolved. People who were willing to return to their country will follow father to leave, while others who are unwilling to go back will stay to continue to operate the Chinatown survivor base. Then everybody will be happy.”
Speaking to this point, Tang Tiande looked distressed: “But I feel that something has been wrong recently, especially since you came here to discuss with my father about returning home. My father has changed a lot. He often frowns and he has also allocated two particularly powerful experts to be my bodyguard. With the worry in his eyes, it gives me the feeling that he is afraid that something would happen to me.”
“So?” Shao Qing lazily leaned on Er Dai’s thighs. Er Dai immediately rubbed her temples obediently. The scene looks very corrupt.
Tang Tiande was somewhat envious of Shao Qing’s leisurely act, but still spoke honestly: “I know that you’re very strong. Even one hundred superhumans cannot match up to you, they would just be sending themselves off to their deaths. I just hope that if something unexpected happens one day, you can help my father… please.”
He was never a good person, a hedonistic son of rich parents, a playboy. The amount of bad things he had done can be written on a ten-meter-long scroll. But even as a bad person, he had his good points.
His only good point was probably his filialty.
Tang Tiande’s mother pa.s.sed on very early and his father was too busy with his career and didn’t care much about him. Before the end of the world, he was a spoiled idle rich kid. Except for wasting money, he would just waste more money.
He also often fought with Tang Yaozu.
It was not until the last days that he discovered that his father actually loved him. Tang Tiande, who was very rebellious, was still a loafer, but he finally began to understand his father.
He had no ability, no wisdom, he only had a little bit of an animal like intuition. Even though the entire Chinatown survivor base looked calm, something was happening.
In addition to his father’s unusual behaviors, he couldn’t help but beg for Shao Qing’s help.
Shao Qing’s eyes that clearly distinguished black-and-white stared closely at Tang Tiande. After a while, she said, “Why should I help you?”
Tang Tiande could taste bitterness in his mouth, but he felt that he reaped what he sown. He should not have spoken so disrespectfully to Shao Qing and even tried to….Cough, now he was begging her for a favor.
“Captain Shao, I really know I was wrong. If you are willing to help me, something will be given to you.” Tang Tiande gritted his teeth and then said.
Shao Qing was actually not interested, but still lazily asked: “What is that something?”
“Mangosteen, cherry, mango, lychee, guava, as long as it is a fruit you want to eat, I can grow it. Vegetables are the same. ” Tang Tiande gritted his teeth.
He was indeed trash and was a wood-based elemental rank 3. But he was able to become a higher up person in the Chinatown survivor base, not because he was the son of Tang Yaozu, but because of his special ability.
Most fruits and vegetables became extinct after the end of the world. This was because they were too precious and could not withstand the harsh environment after the end of the world.
Even using greenhouses was not helpful.
But these fruits and vegetables in Tang Tiande’s hands were another matter.
These mangosteens bought by Shao Qing were planted by Tang Tiande.
This is all related to his abilities. So if anyone in the base discovered advanced zombie crystal nuclei, which helped wood abilities to practice, most would be handed over to Tang Tiande.
But a waste is a waste. His ability to absorb crystal nuclei was particularly poor. There were a lot of crystal nuclei he could not absorb.
So even though he was a rank 3, it was forcibly achieved.
Even with only rank three, Tang Tiande was a treasure in Chinatown’s survivor base.
Shao Qing bit her nails and suddenly felt that she had picked up something good. She had wanted to open up a planting area in Jiangcheng to plant all the things her friends wanted to eat.
But many of them cannot be planted because they are almost extinct. Even if there was no extinction, after mutation, the average person could not eat them.
It didn’t matter what she and Er Dai ate, after all, even if they ate mutant plants, nothing will happen, but Yan Hanqing and the rest were different.
When she was still worrying about this, Tang Tiande had delivered himself to her door.
It was like the heavens dropping a meat pie in front of her when she was starving!
“I can promise you, but I have a condition.” Shao Qing stretched out one finger. After thinking for a long time, she stretched out a second one.
Tang Tiande’s mouth twitched, then said: “Say it.”
“If I really save you and your father, I will not ask for anything else. You just need to come to my base, plant something for me, and always be on call.” Shao Qing said seriously. After she finished, she spoke again: “I also need some seeds.”
Tang Tiande gritted his teeth: “Deal! As long as you can help me, don’t talk about me being on call, even me becoming your younger brother is no problem.”
“Okay.” Shao Qing nodded smilingly. She just picked up a younger brother who could grow anything.
Tang Tiande felt a chill creep up his spine and shivered.
Shao Qing raised her finger, and a vine thinner than her little finger grew out of her fingertips. She handed the vine to Tang Tiande and then said, “Take this thing and secretly put it on your father. The other is for yourself. If you are in danger, the vine will instantly form a shield to help you with a fatal blow, then I will rush over.”
This was a new ability that she had realized and belonged to her s.p.a.ce ability. The aspect was very similar to fixed-point transmission. But the only difference is that the place she wants to transmit to must be one she has been to, and have left a s.p.a.ce mark.
Thus, she has left a s.p.a.ce mark on the vines now, and would be able to transmit over directly.
Of course, she can’t do it if it’s too far away.
For example, from country M to China. Otherwise she would leave coordinates in Jiangcheng, then go back to see her cute baby every night.
“Thank you.” Tang Tiande was very grateful, he quickly said: “If you need something in the future, just say it.” Then he slapped his chest.
Shao Qing just smiled slightly, then asked, “Do you want to stay and eat?”
Tang Tiande, who thought that Shao Qing was going to make noodles, said: “Yes!”
Shao Qing was expressionless: “Can’t you tell that I was being polite? The subtle meaning is, I’m going to cook, why don’t you leave?”
Tang Tiande: QAQ
Then he rolled off…
After he left, Shao Qing rolled her sleeves and gave Er Dai a loving kiss: “Er Dai, sit here and eat mangosteen obediently. I’ll go cook now.”
Er Dai sat down on the sofa and ate mangosteen. Eating and eating, the black in his eyes began to spread out, getting richer and stronger.
Is it time again…
