Chapter 1963 Naive Ideal

"Didi!"

Li Yao seemed to be responding to the calls of the two little guys, the indicator lights flickered rapidly, and the chainsaw, which was originally used to trim flowers and plants, waved lightly.

"Very good!"

Han Te geared up and said confidently, "I was opened up to the eight meridians by the super-strong electric arc, and my cultivation base is recovering a little bit, and I got this mysterious psionic puppet 'Yao Xing'. These are all great auspicious omens." , Master, don't worry, this time the 'Heaven-given Ceremony' will definitely be fine, and we will return with a full reward just like in previous years!"

Gu Zhengyang's smile darkened, he was silent for a moment, and slowly exhaled a foul breath: "As for this 'God-given Ceremony', I have already handed over the command to Captain Zhao, and he will take full responsibility."

"What!"

The two little guys were stunned at the same time, and Han Te said anxiously, "Master, how can you hand over the command to Zhao Lie? Everyone knows that he is ambitious, and he always wants to grab the class and seize power and replace you! Now Zhao Lie Lie already has a group of loyal party members in the village, and his power is getting stronger day by day. If he is given full authority to take charge of such an important task as the "God-given Ceremony", he will definitely take the opportunity to gather power, buy people's hearts, and weaken your strength. Finally, it rode on our necks!"

"That's right, Dad."

Liuli also said worriedly, "The conflict between Uncle Zhao Lie and you is becoming more and more intense every day. Just now outside, Zhao Chong deliberately made trouble for his senior brother and wronged us for hiding supplies. It's really abhorrent."

"I know that Master has always been kind-hearted and puts the overall situation first."

Hunter gritted his teeth and said, "But if we give in blindly at this time, others will only think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they will push our noses and face more and ride on our heads to show off!"

Gu Zhengyang coughed a few times, and said: "You should know that I am not a person who is keen on power, let alone the village head of a village with thousands of people, and there is no 'power'. If you want it, just take it."

"Then how?"

The two little guys were in a hurry, Han Te widened his eyes and said, "Master, it's not about whether the village chief is not the village chief. You have always disapproved of Zhao Lie's ideas, thinking that he is too cruel and aggressive, and will only Did he bring disaster to Taiping Walled City? If he really becomes the village chief, then Taiping Walled City will become a big bandit gang, and within a few hundred miles, there will be swords and soldiers everywhere, and there will never be peace!"

"Yes, Dad, your illness is only temporary, you should..."

Liuli glanced at Li Yao, and said with certainty, "It will get better!"

"It has nothing to do with my illness."

Gu Zhengyang showed a disheartened expression, gently stroked the golden tassels, and sighed, "Liuli, your mother has been gone for four years."

Liuli was slightly taken aback, not understanding what her father meant.

"Your mother is a very innocent woman. When I first saw her, she was only about your age."

Gu Zhengyang sat down on the ridge of the field, sniffing the fragrance of tassels, and fell into distant memories, "At that time, I just fell from the sky, my brain went blank, and I lost all the memories of the past. And the magical power of destruction, those things are like a maelstrom, spinning crazily in my mind, turning me into a confused and bewildered beast.

"At that time, there was only a large iron-hulled ship in the Taiping Walled City, with a few hundred people, and the scale was far smaller than it is today. Even the greenhouse we are in now is just a small corner, with a few crooked plants planted. , a reed stick-like plant.

"At that time, I had been wandering in the ruined city for several months like a lonely ghost, and the whole world I saw was darkness, blood, killing, betrayal and destruction. A few plants were found in a dark corner, either covered with foul-smelling poisonous vines, or sprayed out super-acidic corrosive liquid, but they had never seen such a vibrant and hopeful thing.

"I was stunned to see that handful of golden plants, and asked the little girl who was carefully tending it what it was.

"She told me that it was 'golden barley', a kind of 'crop', a treasure that could save the entire evil land and prevent all the sinners on the evil land from fighting all day long.

"She said that it is precisely because the land is barren and there is no grass growing on the evil land. People have no clothes and no food to eat. They can only depend on the sky to throw relief supplies down. In order to compete for relief supplies and a glimmer of hope for survival, the There will be endless disputes all day long, from human to beast.

"If there could be a crop that could thrive on a barren land tainted by pollution and radiation, so that everyone would have enough to eat, then we wouldn't have to wait for relief from heaven to live, and there would be no need to be hostile to each other , be wary of each other, biting and gnawing at each other like hungry wild dogs!"

Han Te and Liuli listened raptly, and couldn't help holding each other's hands.

Crystal tears shone in Liuli's eyes, and she said softly: "My mother is right, if the golden barley can really fill the entire piece of evil soil and turn the barren land into golden fields, then there will be no disputes, no bloodshed, and no conflicts." Fighting, there are no gangs and thugs like beasts, and even we...don't have to become beasts."

Gu Zhengyang grinned, with a gentle and bitter smile, and murmured: "Yes, she is right, she is obviously a naive and weak little girl, but when she said these words, there was something in her eyes like The hidden sword made me, an adventurer who has been wandering in the ruined city for several months, dare not look directly into her eyes.

"I was tempted by the scene she described, so I stayed and changed the Taiping City Walled City from a large iron-hulled ship into fifteen. Together with her, I opened up the greenhouse from a small corner at the tail of the cabin to the place where it occupies today. Even before she left, I held her hand and swore that one day, I would plant golden barley all over the entire piece of evil soil!

"But, but now, I am more and more doubtful whether the picture we are looking forward to will be realized one day."

Gu Zhengyang inserted his fingers into his hair, moaning in pain as if his back was crushed by the burden of life.

"Master, everything is getting better. We will definitely realize Master's ideal and plant golden barley all over the land!"

Han Te clenched his fists and raised his voice, "Don't give up hope!"

"But I... really don't see where the hope lies."

Gu Zhengyang said sullenly, "In the past few decades, I have been cultivating crazily in order to protect the Taiping City Walled City. I have been fighting everywhere, and I have accumulated countless hidden injuries. This time, it broke out all of a sudden, making me seriously ill, and my cultivation base continued. Falling, and I can't even barely maintain it. This is something that has long been expected. I am already very satisfied with being able to survive until today.

"But the 63rd transplant of golden barley still failed. This crop has been carefully selected by your wife and I. It is the most resistant to drought, radiation and pollution. It still cannot survive in the radiation area outside, even if it is just out of the radiation zone. Within the scope of the village, the output is so low that it can't satisfy the appetite of an ordinary person at all.

"There are also all kinds of damn radiation mutant beasts coming to harass and destroy the experimental field we have worked so hard to build, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to resist it. After all the calculations, this account can't be calculated.

"So, when I was sick and in a daze, looking at the rusty ceiling, I always wondered whether the road between me and your wife will work? Can we really plant golden barley to the full? Is the whole piece of evil land to quell all the disputes in the evil land? Am I really right, or maybe Zhao Lie's choice is the wisest and most correct?"

"dad!"

"Master!"

The two little guys became more and more anxious, and each took Gu Zhengyang's arm, desperately trying to transfer his young and hot power to the middle-aged man with a sick face and a lonely face, "Of course you are right, don't Get discouraged, try ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, and one day, we will succeed!"

"But we have run out of supplies and time."

Gu Zhengyang said coldly, "One thing, Zhao Lie is not wrong, today's Taiping Walled City has reached the limit of expansion, and is in a very embarrassing situation.

"The calm and rapid development of the past 10 to 20 years has increased the population of Taiping Walled City by 20 to 30 times. In addition to adults who came from all directions, there are also many children born in the village. Every additional person , is one more mouthful of bottomless pit that can never be filled.

"No matter how desperately we explore and rob, the materials in the warehouse will never be enough. Even if we can grab enough materials in the 'Tianci Grand Ceremony' this year, it is not a long-term solution. I really don't know what will happen in the next three years. In five or more than ten years, if the population of the village doubles again, even if it only increases by 50%, how will we survive in the Taiping Walled City? When the time comes, we won't have to be beaten by others, and we will be torn apart first. There's no end to fighting."

The two little guys fell silent, and Han Te held back for a long time and said: "As long as, as long as Master's illness can be cured quickly and his former super strength can be restored, then there will be no problem at all!"

"Silly boy."

Gu Zhengyang stretched out his big rough hands, rubbed Han Te's hair, and said with a wry smile, "Master is old after all, and it is impossible to guard Taiping Walled City forever. Even if I can still stand up, Taiping Walled City can always follow my instructions." The rules work, but when I fall one day, will the Taiping Walled City become the same as other villages in an instant, or even the gangsters in the "Blood War World"?

"When I think about that scene, it hurts so much that I can't sleep at night.

"If this is the inevitable outcome, then I might as well discuss the way out of the village with Zhao Lie while I still have some strength, and each take a step back and formulate some rules that both of us can reluctantly accept.

"As for the more distant future, it depends on you, Liuli, and you new generations to work hard!"
