I'm not a pet

Chapter 171 Populus euphratica

Mei Shui walked into the path first, turned her head and shouted to the one person and one pig who were still stunned by surprise: "Brother Lu, come in first, this door will automatically close after ten breaths."

When Lu Yunchu heard the shout, he carried the little pig and stepped into the path among the boulders as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"No wonder Mei Shui said that no one can find Nuoma Village except him and Mei Shan!" Little Pig muttered, "I would never have thought that the entrance to the village is here, and a complex graphic code is required to unlock it..."

After Lu Yunchu carried the little pig into the path, he turned his head and looked outside the boulder, seeing yellow sand everywhere.After a while, light and shadow twisted and floated again between the two boulders, and he understood that it was a sign that the entrance was closed again.

"Is this entrance restriction set up by the commander?" Looking at the floating light and shadow, Lu Yunchu secretly marveled at the skill of the person who set up the restriction, perhaps beyond the power of mana.

"This restriction was set up thousands of years ago, not by my master." Mei Shui didn't seem to have any intention of answering who set up this restriction: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Elder Luo to ask for cistanche .”

Lu Yunchu and Xiaozhu listened to Mei Shui's words with ease, as if the cistanche was not a rare treasure that was born in a hundred years, but it was as common as vegetables and radishes in the vegetable market, and they could get it if they asked for it.

Ever since Lu Yunchu entered the entrance, he was on guard.It was rumored that all the people in Norma Village were descendants of demons. Although Mei Shui had mentioned to him many times that the villagers in Norma Village had no intention of harming others, he still had to guard against them.

Xiaozhu was admiring the scenery along the way in Lu Yunchu's arms.

The trail is only about ten meters away, and the dense yellow and green leaves on both sides of the tree block its sight.

Those brown trunks that almost require more than two people to embrace are full of cracks in different shades, and most of the trunks are tilted from side to side, standing in disorder, like old trees on the verge of death.But looking up, the yellow-green leaves dotted the branches, showing the vitality of the old tree.

When we reached the end of the path, the field of vision suddenly became wider.

Looking from a distance, there is a green lake in the middle of the village, surrounded by trees with yellow and green leaves.The sloping dry and thick trunks and the lively yellow-green leaves are reflected in the green lake water, which looks as gorgeous and beautiful as a colorful oil painting from a distance.

"Wow! I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place in the desert..." The little pig couldn't help admiring: "Especially these trees look as old as they have existed for thousands of years, yet they can still radiate in their leaves. Come alive."

Hearing Xiaozhu's exclamation, Lu Yunchu asked Xiang Meishui: "What is this tree?"

"This is Populus euphratica, the only tree species in the desert. Every Populus euphratica tree in Nuoma Village is over a thousand years old." Hearing Lu Yunchu's question about these trees, Mei Shui was very excited: "If In autumn, the leaves of the trees will turn golden yellow, which is really beautiful!"

"Pullar euphratica? Is this the hero tree Populus euphratica known as 'It can live for a thousand years without dying, die for a thousand years without falling, and fall for a thousand years without rotting'?" Piggy's eyes lit up. In reality, he had heard that Populus euphratica is an ancient and tenacious tree in the desert. The miracle tree species, I did not expect to see a piece of it here today.It is several times more beautiful than imagined!
"Master once said that it was because of these Populus euphratica trees that were planted thousands of years ago that this oasis could be reclaimed in the desert, and that there is today's Norma Village..." After entering the Norma Village, the two had taken down the Covering his head and face with a silk scarf, when Mei Shui mentioned Populus euphratica, his dark face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of admiration.

When Xiaozhu heard what Mei Shui said, he suddenly had a thought: the person who planted these Populus euphratica trees and set up the ban on Nuoma Village couldn't be Di Mietian, right?

Just as he was about to express his doubts to Lu Yunchu, he heard a shout of surprise from a distance: "Brother Shui! Brother Shui! Haha, I knew it was Brother Shui who came!"

The two looked around together, and saw a goose-yellow figure running quickly along the lake.When Mei Shui saw that figure, there was a rare gentle smile in her stubborn eyes that were always distinct in black and white.

In a blink of an eye, the goose-yellow figure with a clear and crisp shout had already run up to the two of them, and the next moment, he threw himself into Mei Shui's arms without a moment's hesitation.

It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in short skirts and wearing a pair of black riding boots. Her black hair was simply braided into a thick braid and hung sideways on her chest. Smart big eyes, high nose bridge and small mouth, two dimples playfully flashed when speaking.

"Brother Shui, just now Grandpa said that the restriction at the entrance of the village was opened, so I knew it must be you!" While hugging Mei Shui's waist, the girl gently rested her head on Mei Shui's chest, her face was full of joy and happiness , completely ignoring the embarrassed Lu Yunchu standing beside Meishui.

"Ding Dong, I haven't seen you for a year, and you seem to have grown taller again!" Mei Shui tenderly and kindly hugged the girl called Ding Dong, forgetting about the uncomfortable face of a person and a pig around her.

Lu Yunchu looked at the two hugging in front of him, Jun blushed slightly and looked away in embarrassment.

But Xiaozhu looked at the two embracing each other gossipingly.

From the time this girl appeared on the stage until now, she never even glanced at the handsome guy Lu Yunchu.This is the first time she has seen a young woman from the Marfa Continent ignore Lu Yunchu's existence... It seems that this girl named Ding Dong has a close relationship with Mei Shui!

"No! I'm an adult this year!" Ding Dong said excitedly in Mei Shui's arms.

"Ah..." When Mei Shui heard this sentence, she pushed Ding Dong away from her arms in shock: "Ding Dong is already a big girl, don't hug me like when you were a child, men and women can't kiss each other..."

While speaking, he took out Ding Dong who was about to throw himself into his arms again, and stepped back to the side, the gentle smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a touch of panic and loss.

Ding Dong approached him again, relentlessly, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Shui, I'm an adult!"

Seeing her approaching, Mei Shui took another step back in panic: "Ding Dong, don't come any closer... I... I haven't showered for a few days, and my body smells sour..."

Ding Dong ignored what he said, took another step closer and pulled him, and looked at him fixedly: "Brother Shui, I'm an adult! I want to marry you!"

"..." Mei Shui was stunned, and suddenly raised her head to look at Ding Dong, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"..." Lu Yunchu lowered his head and rubbed his nose and took a few steps back again, pretending he didn't hear anything.

Only Xiaozhu excitedly commented on gossip: "Haha! I knew that girl was interested in Mei Shui..."

Before the comment was finished, Lu Yunchu pushed his head back into his pocket.

She struggled to lift her head up again in her pocket, and stared at Lu Yunchu dissatisfiedly, but saw that Lu Yunchu was also looking down at her, his eyes were full of warnings of "see no evil, don't listen to evil".
