Chapter 8

While speaking, the group of three had already returned to Duocao Street.

Different from the name, not only is there not much grass in the grassy street, but there is not even a single grass in sight.

The sky is covered with whistling and raging yellow sand, and as far as the eye can see is the withered yellow that blocks the sky and the sun. If you don't pay attention, you will be scratched by the raised sand and delicate cheeks.Not to mention the grass, even the roots of the grass are invisible, and even the cactus, which is the most adaptable to the arid environment, seems to have no trace of it here.

Que Qiu had a panoramic view of the desolate scene in front of her, and for some reason, her heart suddenly sank.

Before he cultivated into a human form, his body grew in a mountain full of aura.The mountains stretching for thousands of miles are covered with rich vegetation, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the climate is pleasant, just like a fairyland on earth.

Therefore, Queqiu has never seen a scene as barren as the Gobi Desert of the Dark Star, let alone imagined how it is possible to see no plants in the place where humans live.

There were not many people in the mountain where he lived, and the little Taoist priests and old Taoist priests in black robes were his neighbors.After hundreds of thousands of years of contact with them, Queqiu knows that human beings cannot live without plants.

Plants are food to feed the hunger, clothes to cover the body, ornamentals to pass the time in spare time, and a resting place for the corpse to be properly placed after a hundred years.

Before and after death, no one can separate himself from plants, and the connection between people and plants is so close.Sometimes Queqiu even thinks that maybe human beings are just a kind of plant growing on the land, but they can run and jump.

Therefore, after seeing the desolate scene in front of him, Que Qiu, who was usually not very emotionally ups and downs, this time expressed his surprise...and a little heaviness.

It's a pity that Yang Shu got along with him not long ago, so he couldn't see Que Qiu's psychological changes—after all, the situation of the entire empire was actually similar to that of Dark Star.Given this fact, no one should be surprised.

Yang Shu enthusiastically introduced: "Don't look at the dilapidated grassy streets, ours is the most stable and harmonious community in the non-main urban area."

His words pulled Que Qiu back from his long absence, and he quietly looked at the street in front of him. In the era of such advanced technology in the future, the overall appearance of Duo Cao Street is still similar to that of a village in the earth age.

Even because of the wind and sand, the outer walls of many houses have fallen off, revealing dilapidated stone

wall.There are flying sand and gravel particles everywhere, making the whole street dusty, and it looks less developed than the villages in the earth era.

But Duocao Street as a whole gives Queqiu the same image as the leader of Yangshu Street himself. Although it is dilapidated, it is still cleaned very clean.There are no green plants in front of every house, some are replaced by vivid portraits, and some are replaced by plastic flowers and plants, so that people can feel that the residents on this street are caring for their homes.

Even if the homeland they love is only the place of exile that the people on the Elibez fear, despise, disdain, and spurn-the Dark Treasurer Planet.

Queqiu nodded, approving the words of Yangshu Street Leader: "I feel very warm here."

He doesn't like to laugh very much, but for some reason, for the first time in this strange world, Que Qiu felt a heart-warming feeling.

As if feeling her mother's improved mood, Mao Mao raised her head in a ignorant manner, and smiled happily at the other party, revealing two pointed canine teeth.

Along the way, Yang Shu focused more on Que Qiu, and only then did he pay attention to this little guy who was by Que Qiu's side.Considering that they are one big and one small, and there is an Omega among them who needs to be taken care of very much, they arranged to live temporarily at the house of Dodd, a newly grown Beta at the end of the street.

On the way there, Yang Shu actively introduced the customs and customs of Duocao Street to Queqiu: "There are many old people and children in Duocao Street, and their resistance is not very strong. Now is the time when the sun radiation is strongest, so everyoneThey are all hiding in the house. After the sun goes down, the young people on the street will organize and go to the Gobi to collect waste.”

"Everyone is very enthusiastic. You are so beautiful and have a good personality. You will be welcomed by many people."

He very much hoped that Queqiu could fall in love with Duicao Street and stay here—after all, Ducao Street is mostly Beta, but there are still a few adult Alphas who are "waiting to marry".

Even though the sun was scorching hot, most of the residents of Duocao Street hid in their houses as the leader of Yangshu Street said, but along the way, many people came to the door and looked at the bird with curious but not overly probing eyes.Autumn.

Every time you pass a fork in the road, there will be a towering sentry tower, and the sentries who are on patrol are also casting curious eyes on Que Qiu.

Seeing that the little Omega next to him seemed to be interested in the watchtower, before Queqiu could ask, Yang Shu took the initiative to explain: "This is a watchtower on Duocao Street to observe danger. There were not so many residents on duty before.", but I don’t know why recently, it suddenly appeared nearby

There were two groups of people, and they often haunted the remote Gobi, as if they were looking for something.We haven't dealt with them before, the aborigines who don't look like dark stars in their clothes and attire, they don't look like good people sneaking around, and they will leave first after bumping into them accidentally.Because they were afraid of the threat they would pose to Duocao Street, a lot of people were added to be on duty."

Not every new face is a harmless and precious Omega like Queqiu. The tone of the leader of Yangshu Street suddenly became serious: "The Grassy Street cannot withstand destruction, and I will definitely not allow anyone to destroy it."

It was for this reason that he was so hostile to strangers on the Gobi Desert.

Queqiu nodded, expressing his understanding.

It didn't take long for the three of them to leave before their destination arrived.

"This is Dodd's home."

Queqiu followed the words of the poplar tree, and saw that it was a black stone house, with dead branches picked up from somewhere at the door, and the owner carefully built it into the shape of a tree.

Next to the tree was a young man about 1.8 meters tall, not bad looking, with a simple and honest personality, and he grinned with big white teeth when he saw people coming.

Yang Shu said to him: "Dude, this is a new resident. He is an Omega who has just grown up. You need to take care of him."

Dodd looked at Queqiu with some embarrassment, his black and bright eyes suddenly enlarged the moment he saw the other person's appearance clearly, and he was at a loss for an instant, and he could only answer with a stuttering "um"Voice.

O, Omega...

He felt dizzy for a while, oh my god, Goddess of Life, the one standing in front of him is actually an Omega!

Queqiu didn't quite understand why the people here reacted so strongly when they saw her. She politely said thank you to Dodd, and then saw the young man's tanned face squeak, from the base of his ears to his cheeks.Get flushed.

Yang Shu: "Dude has extra rooms and bedding here. If there is anything missing after you move in, you can let him come to me to get it."

Que Qiu said politely, "I'm sorry for the trouble, you and Dude."

Realizing that the cute and beautiful Omega in front of him called his name, Dodd was as dizzy as if he was drunk, and even patted his cheek to try to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.

Yang Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and secretly complained in his heart that Dode was really helpless, but he forgot that when he just learned that Queqiu was an Omega, his performance was no better than him.

Queqiu couldn't figure out why their attitude towards her was so

He was so eager, so he simply didn't get entangled, took Mao Mao's hand and asked softly: "Then can we go in now?"

Yang Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, of course!" Then, he quickly winked at the excited Dodd, signaling him to receive Omega quickly.

Dodd looked simple and honest, but his mind was quite open. After receiving the signal from Yangshu, he hurried out from under the tree, took the black umbrella from the street leader, carefully adjusted the angle, and placed Queqiu andMaomao greeted him into the room.

Maomao subconsciously felt a sense of crisis, so she stopped shrinking behind her mother and walked in front with her small chest out, as if she wanted to declare her sovereignty.

Dodd was not idle, and hurried to pour water after putting away the umbrella.

The poplar tree had been basking in the scorching sun for a whole noon, and his throat was already so thirsty that it was about to smoke. He poured down half a bowl in one go, wiped off the remaining drops of water, looked at Queqiu and said, "By the way, youWhat's the deal with this kid?"

Mao Mao moved her tentacles, and quickly raised her head to look at Que Qiu, her big silver-gray eyes were full of anticipation.The latter thought for a while, and then said slowly, "Well... it's my child."

Mao Mao's eyes were curved, and she called out sweetly: "Mom!"

Yang Shu and Dodd were taken aback when they heard this conversation, and their expressions changed drastically after they realized it.

Yang Shu pointed at Maomao, his face paled in shock: "This, this is your child?!"

Que Qiu thought about it seriously, Maomao picked it up by herself, so, should it be counted?

He didn't think about going to the level that Yang Shu thought, and nodded: "Yes."

Mao Mao, who received an affirmative answer, looked at Que Qiu with sparkling eyes, and the attachment in her gray pupils became more and more intense.

Yang Shu's face was even more horrified, while Dodd looked deeply shocked.

Yang Shu once again looked at Que Qiu from top to bottom, and swallowed nervously: "Then how old are you this year? Are you an adult?!"

Queqiu calculated the age between plants and humans.

"Yes," he nodded again, "I just came of age this year."

This year, he just became an adult, that is, he is eighteen years old, and this kid looks three or four years old——

Yang Shu worked his mind quickly, and soon he came to a conclusion.

Suddenly, a thunderous "beast" erupted in Dodd's stone house!

Yang Shu became angry, pointing in all directions and scolding: "Which beast Alpha, you should be shot a hundred and eighty times!!"

Look at Dodd again, before

He was still looking downcast, but now he clenched his fists and was extremely angry, as if he could punch that non-existent animal Alpha at any time.

Maomao looked at the uncle and the big man who suddenly became extremely angry with some fear, and the soft tentacles touched like fingers. For some reason, a sense of guilt surged up for no reason, as if the person they were going to beat waslike myself.

Mao Mao moved back.

Maomao obediently grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes.

After the anger passed, Queqiu found that when Yang Shu and Duode looked at him again, there was a lot of sympathy and pity in their eyes.

"Good boy, you...you have suffered." Yang Shu's deep-set eye sockets were slightly moist, and his rough voice was a little choked: "Don't worry, Duicao Street will be your home in the future, and you will not be wronged again."

Dodd was even more exaggerated, with red eye circles, as if he would cry at any time, looking at Queqiu like looking at a fragile glass doll.

Yang Shu stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Que Qiu on the shoulder. After thinking about something, he finally retracted and said to him cautiously, "You can live here with peace of mind. I won't tell anyone about it.Externally, I will tell the residents that Maomao is your younger brother."

Before Queqiu said anything, Maomao became unhappy, pursed her lips, and protested softly: "It's mom."

Yang Shu choked for a moment, not knowing how to look at this "crystallization of evil".

He glanced at Dodd and warned, "Don't let Omega be wronged, you must take good care of him."

Que Qiu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Dodd nodded firmly, his fists clenched tightly: "Don't worry, Street Leader."

Yang Shu still had a lot of business to deal with, and after settling Queqiu and Mao Mao, he didn't stay any longer, and Dodd habitually sent him off.

After the two left, Que Qiu, who was in the center of the vortex but never expressed any opinion, finally realized belatedly that they were...

Misunderstood?

He lowered his head to look at Maomao, and the other party also raised his head with a feeling, staring with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward for a moment.!
