Chapter 73

Qi Ming knew that this was a bit abrupt, but the situation was urgent now, and he couldn't take care of that much anymore.

He raised the indoor temperature by ten degrees, and he was sweating all over his body, while Hua Xiaoxian was still cold all over. He noticed that her breathing rate began to slow down, and her heartbeat rate also slowed down.

This is not a good sign.

Excessive low temperature can lead to frostbite and dry gangrene in severe cases.Qi Ming once led the Federation Army to fight against Zerg on a snow-covered planet all year round. Within a month, many Federation troops suffered from frostbite and gangrene. In severe cases, limbs were even amputated and mechanical prosthetics were installed.

At that time, the way the soldiers dealt with it was to wipe the skin with warm water and hot compresses, and then apply some interstellar frostbite medicine.He couldn't take off her clothes, and give her a hot compress to scrub every inch of her cold place.

"I'm sorry..." Qi Ming pulled back the quilt, lay down on his side, hugged her, and held her tightly in his arms.superior

Fang's thin quilt had already become damp due to the melting of the frost, and was thrown on the ground by Qi Ming, and the two of them were only covered with a dry thick quilt.

Hua Xian couldn't cover the quilt by himself, it was like an ice hole inside.

But when Qi Ming came in, it was different, it was like a prairie fire, and soon the bed was warmed up.Xiaoxian's back was pressed against his furnace-like chest, Xiaoxian's head rested on his arm, her hand was held by him, and her cold feet stepped on his long, tight legs.

Qi Ming was wearing clothes.

But there were some hard buttons, ranks, and ornaments on the military uniform of the coat, so he took the coat away and hugged her to sleep like this.

It can't be called sleep, because Little Butterfly Bao'er has no sleepiness in her heart at the moment. In the dark night, a pair of golden eyes are staring at the side face of the girl in her arms, and her heart is pounding.

Obviously she is so cold.

He is so hot.

For the first time in her life, Little Butterfly Baoer was lying in the same bed with the opposite sex, and she was still hugging her in such an ambiguous position. She was still her first love... Well, although I haven't received a response yet, how can I calm down?

Hua Xian, who was in a coma, didn't know anything about what was going on in the outside world. There was still a blizzard blowing between her brows and her mental realm, but the "big heater" she was leaning against was very good. She liked it very much, and her limbs gradually became warmer, the pain eased.

Qi Ming grabbed Hua Xian's hand, with two fingers cut on her wrist, paying attention to her pulse and heartbeat.

Some have recovered.

It's not as scary as it was at first.

Qi Ming didn't take it lightly, he hugged the baby in his arms with high nervousness, used his arm as a pillow, rested his chin on her neck, and rubbed it lightly.When he imitated, he rubbed her shoulder like this.

*.*.*

Hua Xian's coma this time was a bit long.

Its daybreak.

It wasn't until noon, when the sun was shining brightly outside, that she slowly opened her eyes. The blunt pain in the mental region between her brows hadn't completely dissipated, making her thoughts a little chaotic for a while.

"Woke up?"

A low, sea-breeze-like voice came from overhead.

It's a man.

Hua Xian's tiredness suddenly dissipated by half, she slowly raised her head, and just fell into a pair of pure golden pupils, a handsome face close at hand, thick and curly eyelashes, eyes filled with worry.

"Is it still cold? Is it better?"

"I……"

Hua Xian was shocked, only to find that the two of them were in the same bed, what's more, she was so shameful that she grabbed his shirt and crumpled his shirt.His arms were tied, and his golden hair was all up in a bunch, maybe it was because of her bad sleeping position.

"Sorry, Marshal!"

Hua Xian's last trace of drowsiness dissipated completely, and she jumped out of the bed suddenly. The first thought in her mind was: Could it be that when I was promoted to the level of mental power, an accident happened, and Qi Ming was thrown into such a mess?Is that so?Why is it still stretching out the mimic tree vine?Still tied his hands?

Qi Ming also got up. Although his clothes were wrinkled, they were in good condition, and his coat was hanging on the side.

It's just that there are unknown circles of marks on the exposed half of the arm.

Qi Ming explained: "Last night you awakened your spiritual power again and released the air-conditioning, which almost froze the room. In order to prevent you from being frozen to death, I broke in through the door."

Hua Xian has recovered now, and she realizes that she is already A-level.

I am not cold anymore.

"What are those scars on your arm?"

"After you fell asleep, I saw that your body temperature had recovered a bit, so I retreated and prepared to leave. You immediately stretched out the vines, tied me up, and pulled me back." Qi Ming stared deeply.She glanced at her, "I'm trying to break free, you're bound even tighter, in order to avoid breaking your vines, I'm up to you."

He is 3S level, and even a little bit of realism can destroy her vines.

Afraid of her pain.

Mimesis is not easy to handle after being injured, and subsequent repairs are very troublesome.The marshal simply endured it.

Hua Xian: "..."

Is she so brave?It is also powerful against the Marshal.

The tree vine is her mimicry, and it also represents her subconscious soul. She doesn't want Qi Ming to leave, so she just tied him back?Continue to warm her bed?

Hua Xian's ears seemed to be burning, and he was somewhat afraid to look him in the eyes.

Qi Ming walked over, "It was me last night..."

"No, no, no, I shouldn't have tied you up." Hua Xian was embarrassed and wanted to dig out an interstellar fortress with his toes.

what to do?

Qi Ming showed the marks on his arms that were tied up by vines: "I can't run, and you don't need to be tied up so tightly."

Hua Xian's head was about to smoke: "..."

She pulled out a medicine box.

He took out the plaster, a light green creamy ointment, and applied it on the wound on his arm. Although the skin was only a little bit broken, it was shocking because it had been tied for a long time, a whole night.

"I have quite a lot of vines, 72, it doesn't matter if you tear one off, next time you just tear it off." Hua Xian felt guilty.

"Oh? And next time?" Qi Ming let out a pleasant low laugh on top of her head, "I'm looking forward to it."

Hua Xian: "!"

What am I talking about, help me, I really didn't want to use tree vines to imprison you again, Marshal!

Qi Ming was in a good mood, he didn't intend to hold her all night, he was going to leave in the middle of the night, but she was not happy and dragged him back.

Butterfly is so happy.

"I, I've been promoted to A-level." Hua Xian tried to change the subject.

"Well, Xiaoxian is very good."

"I, I'll go to the fields to have a look, pick some vegetables and come back to cook." Hua Xian felt that she couldn't stay in the house anymore, and continued to share the same room with him, and the scene of hugging and sleeping would flash in her mindIf you don't go, it will disturb her mind.

Qi Ming didn't catch up either.

He knew that she needed to calm down now and think about the relationship between the two of them.

He has always been a very patient person.

*.*.*

Hua Xian went to the back mountain and found that the corn seeds brought back last time had been planted a lot, and some of them were beginning to mature.

With the help of the robot, she broke some cobs and put them in a basket.

"Let's boil a few corns, then use the butter produced by the milk factory, and fry popcorn in the pressure cooker."

Under normal circumstances, special popcorn corn is used to explode popcorn. Hers is ordinary corn. If she wants to explode popcorn, she has to borrow a pressure cooker.

And she had already ordered a pressure cooker from the Happiness Shuguang branch.

When Hua Xian passed by the small lake, she found that the batch of peppers she had collected before had been dried and made into dried peppers. She gave the robot an order to let the robot take the nearly one thousand catties of dried peppers,Pack it in a moisture-proof bag and send it to the warehouse for storage.

She herself also grabbed a large handful of dried chilies and put them in the basket, preparing to use them as seasonings.

"Why would I unconsciously tie Qi Ming with tree vines? I specified it was a bit of cat cake."

Hua Xian held a dried chili in her hand, put it on her nose and sniffed it, it was quite spicy.

She took a walk and went home.

"The mayor's benefactor, what a coincidence."

A voice full of vitality came from the front, it was the orange cat who lived opposite the door and often brought fish.

Hua Xian raised her eyes and saw two orange cats opposite, one big and one small.

The orange cat brother is also leading a orange cat girl, who looks thirteen or fourteen years old, cute and cute, with two orange fluffy ears sticking out of her hair.

"This is my sister Tachibana."

"Hello, mayor~" Little sister Tachibana was very polite, and she smiled at Hua Xian, showing her small canine teeth.

Hua Xian's heart was almost melted by this little sister's smile: "Ju Li is so cute, just wait a moment."

She entered the room, took out a M-1234 potion made of catnip, and took two boxes of happy fresh milk.

It is going to be given to Xiao Juli as a meeting gift.

Two minutes later, Hua Xian sent the things over: "Come on, after using this, you will be able to raise your mental power level like your brother."

Tachibana shook his head, a look of inferiority flashed across his eyes, he lowered his head in frustration, and the orange tail drooped behind him.

Brother Orange Cat sighed softly: "My lord mayor, thank you for your kindness, but... But Tachibana is a congenitally disabled person, and she has not awakened her spiritual power since she was born. Even if you give her this precious potionIt doesn’t work at all.”

Hua Xian's heart "thumped".

Her mind was full of Qi Ming just now, and she was a little dizzy, so she didn't pay attention.

After being reminded by the orange cat brother, she took a closer look, only to find that the orange cat sister in front of her was the same as herself at the beginning, with 0 mental power.

Handicapped, handicapped, non-contributors to the Commonwealth, the bottom of society.

These prejudiced words are destined to accompany every person whose spiritual power is 0. It is because of the Klein bottle that Hua Xian got the opportunity to improve his spiritual power and got rid of this class without rights protection, but TachibanaWithout this opportunity, she is just an ordinary interstellar orange cat. When she grows up, she can hardly find a job.

"Give it a try, in case it works."

Hua Xian put the M-1234 medicine on the counter of the small supermarket, "Just take it as a free clinical trial to test whether this medicine works for people with 0 mental power."

The orange cat brother's eyes were slightly red: "Mayor, your medicine is very expensive, and it's really..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

Hua Xian interrupted him, and turned to Juli and said, "Drink it and try the effect."

Tachibana is very well-behaved, the little orange cat's yellow ears trembled, grabbed the medicine bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank it: "It tastes so good."

Tachibana's pupils gradually blurred.

That's what catnip does.

She turned into a small orange cat, happily stepping on the counter, very obedient.

About five minutes later, Tachibana woke up from this dazed state: "My lord mayor, I am really useless. After drinking such a precious potion, my mental power is still zero."

Hua Xian's mood became inexplicably heavy.

From the moment she saw that there was no smoke coming from Tachibana's forehead, she knew that the potion was ineffective, which was equivalent to saying that catnip had no effect on cats with 0 mental power.

"Never mind your business, Tachibana is a very useful kitty."

Hua Xian doesn't like to hear her belittle herself. It's normal for this little orange cat to feel inferior, but she doesn't want the other party to maintain this mentality. This will only make the little orange cat's life more difficult in the future.

She stretched out her hand and patted the jio of the little orange cat

The nose of the little orange cat was very close to Jio's paw. When Hua Xian stretched out her hand, she suddenly smelled a very pungent and spicy smell, and then sneezed forcefully.

Before one sneeze ended, two or three came.

"What's going on?" Hua Xian was a little surprised, "Have you caught a cold?"

The orange cat brother shook his head: "Ju Li hasn't caught a cold for the past two days, maybe he smelled something irritating, our cat's nose is also very good."

Hua Xian was taken aback for a moment, she retracted her hand, put it on the tip of her nose, and immediately smelled a smell of dried chili.

Just now, she went to the ground to break the corn, grabbed a lot of dried chili, and kneaded a small chili, kneading and kneading all the way.

"I'm sorry, Tachibana, but I smell chili on my hand."

"Meow——" the little orange cat looked uncomfortable. It sneezed three times in a row, tears were about to come out, and its eyes were slightly red. "It's a bit hot."

Hua Xian was afraid that something would happen. After all, chili, a spiritual plant, is extremely lethal to people who never eat spicy food.

When eating in the cafeteria, several employees were still unable to adapt to the spicy taste and resolutely refused to eat spicy food.

Not to mention a little girl with 0 mental power.

Just in case, Hua Xian called the dean and asked him to come over and take a look.

The dean rushed over from the nursing home in the seventh district. He just finished checking the room in the morning and was fine: "Mayor, where is the patient?"

Hua Xian pointed to Tachibana: "She seems to be intolerant to chili, she sneezed four or five times, and even got a fever."

"Oh, let me see."

The dean came here with a medicine box, which also contained some simple diagnostic equipment.

He clamped an instrument on Xiaojuli's meow paw, and a string of alphanumerics and graph curves flashed on the screen of the instrument immediately: "Her vital signs are still normal, but she has a tachycardia and a slight increase in blood pressure."High, mental power is too low..."

"Wait a minute, mental power is too low?"

Hua Xian interrupted the dean, and said seriously, "How low, can you be more specific?"

"Less than F grade, between congenital disability and F, a transitional domain." The dean explained.

Brother Orange Cat: "But, my sister doesn't have mental strength."

An almost absurd idea suddenly flashed in Hua Xian's mind, she turned her head and ran back to the opposite house, opened the corn basket on the living room table, and her eyes fell on the small handful of dried peppers.

Could it be because of this?

So far, chili peppers have only been encountered by people who come to the Xingfu staff cafeteria to eat, and most of these people have a relatively high level of mental strength in BAS. Eating chili peppers is simply eating chili peppers as a seasoning, without any effect.

but.

Is there a possibility that after giving peppers to people with 0 spiritual power, it will stimulate their potential abilities and make them awaken their spiritual power?

Could it be that the reason why Tachibana experienced fluctuations in mental power was after she smelled the pungent chili pepper in her hand?

"Give her a try?"

Hua Xian picked up a sharp, bright red dried chili, and walked to the small supermarket opposite.

Qi Ming thought that Xiaoxian should have thought it through when he came back, and would say something to him, such as agreeing to his confession and accepting him, but she just went out again with a serious face, holding a red pepper.

Qi Ming turned into a little butterfly Bao'er and chased after her.

Want to see what happened.

What attracted her attention, so that she even forgot about the fact that the two of them slept in each other's arms all night?

The Golden Winged Butterfly landed on Hua Xian's shoulder.

He saw Xiaoxian, holding a red chili pepper, brought it to the mouth of a smaller orange cat: "Ju Li, take a bite."

At this moment, the little orange cat girl was a little dizzy with fever, and opened her mouth almost subconsciously.

The red pepper enters the cat's mouth.

"Meow woo woo!"

There was a very sharp cat meow, almost shrill.

After Tachibana accidentally took a bite of the dried chili, he spit it out immediately, his mouth was red hot, and he wished he could stick out his tongue like a dog to dissipate heat: "Spicy, it's so hot, meow."

The dean at the side made a surprised voice: "I've been promoted! I've been promoted again! The mental power has crossed that threshold!"

Hua Xian happily said, "That is to say, chili can stimulate people with 0 spiritual power to awaken their spiritual power? Dean, has she reached the F level?"

"It's still a little bit worse than F level."

The dean is also a research madman, and immediately said, "Don't spit it out, eat a whole pepper and see if it works?"

Ju wants to cry, she is really afraid of that red, pointed thing, the cat's tongue is hot and painful, and the smell is in her throat and nasal cavity.

Brother Orange Cat was also ecstatic: "My sister can awaken? God! That's great! If she really succeeds in being promoted to the F rank, she will never suffer discrimination again in the future, and she will be able to find a job when she grows up."

Then, the orange cat brother personally held the two pieces of red pepper bitten off by Ju Li, handed it over, and coaxed softly: "My sister, be good, you will feel uncomfortable after eating it. It will be fine in the future."

Tears welled up in the corners of Xiao Juli's eyes, and the cat fur all over her body exploded. She swallowed the dried chili while resisting the hotness.

what!

She is going to die!

Hua Xian hurriedly opened a box of fresh milk for Juli, and leaned over to let her drink it, so as to relieve the spicy taste.The little orange cat gurgled, took two sips, and suppressed it.

"It's so hot, it's going to burn."

The dean noticed the changes in the mental power map: "Successful! She has reached the level of F-level mental power, and the value has stabilized."

Tachibana held the milk box and drank fresh milk.

Hua Xian said to the dean: "Get ready, call a group of people with 0 mental power from Qinshan City, and use peppers to conduct large-scale clinical tests."

If she succeeds, she will immediately plant peppers on a large scale to change the pattern of discrimination against "disabled people".
