Chapter 331 Walking in the Countryside
The members of the older generation of the Shenlin family were sent to the server of the space station, and the former residence of the Shenlin family became more and more remote.
In the center of the house are several antique-style mansions, row upon row, all of which have been renovated, and currently live in Kuro Kambayashi, Risa Ohara, and their closest relatives and friends.
In addition, there are several wing rooms, which are usually prepared for family members, but now they are secluded corners where Falosa and his party live temporarily. The distance between these rooms is wide, and there are very beautiful small courtyards. The sides are full of grass and flowers.
"It's been a long time since I came to such a clean and quiet place." Faroza walked to the wooden grill window.
Looking around, she saw a meandering stream with gurgling water that could be clearly discerned. It was clear and cold in late autumn, making people want to walk into the water.
"We are social animals after all," Xu Yang stood beside her. "If we only emphasize sociality, we will forget our animal nature, and animals need to return to their natural environment from time to time."
"You're right, let's go to the bamboo forest." Faroza pointed to the deep bamboo forest behind the stream, and gave Xu Yang a frivolous look.
Xu Yang picked her up by the waist, left the house, waded across the stream, and came to a place with deep bamboo. Farosa lay in his arms, wrapped her hands around his neck, and looked at the silent scenery around her.
"How about this bamboo?" Xu Yang saw several 17-meter-high moso bamboos with complicated leaves, dividing the skylight and leaving fine shadows.
"I'm afraid that the bamboo will be broken by us. It's not easy for them to grow for such a long time."
"You kill people without blinking an eye, but you are very concerned about the fate of bamboo."
"Bamboo will not turn against each other."
"Then it's just grass."
"Where are the stones? Isn't there that kind of natural round stone?"
"Oh, there's a piece over there."
A large moss-covered rock became a place to work, sweat dripping, and stained stones left marks.
"How do you feel?" Xu Yang asked.
"Is this a product consumer review? I have to give five stars to do it again?"
"maybe."
"That's five stars."
In the afternoon, Faroza and Xu Yang took a walk in the bamboo forest.
It is rare for them to have such a feeling of no burden, so they cherish it very much. City life, mystical symbols and network base stations are all too far away to become ethereal, nothing to worry about, surrounded by pure and peaceful nature.
"Just treat us as two wandering souls." Farosha took Xu Yang's hand, "There is nothing to worry about, nothing to care about and take care of, all we want is to watch."
"OK."
They wandered freely, enjoying the fresh air and the style of the village with all their heart. They found that the former residence of Shenlin was very large. In addition to the mansion of the main family and the wing room of the branch family, after walking seven or eight miles, they saw the lawn. There is a large barn on the ground, and there is a firewood house with a thatched roof next to it. The walls are mottled and peeling, and they are probably hundreds of years old.
12 young people wearing Xisheng Group uniforms are working nearby, collecting and sorting food and firewood. They have fair skin and gentle manners. They seem to have received a good education, just like their counterparts in the city, and they are ready for business. The preparations for playing at home are just in different forms.
Across the grassland, there are no bamboos growing in the back of the mountain, but beautiful pastures have been built. Several guests who are going to attend the wedding are riding horses. There are pink and fat pigs in the nearby metal corrals, all of which are carefully bred. The old variety does not look dirty and smelly. The children brought by the guests were curious about all this and pointed to the animals they saw. They had only seen the finished fresh meat delivered to their homes, but they had not seen their appearance before they were brutally murdered.
When they reached the edge of the foothills, Xu Yang and Falosa saw a farm village attached to the Shenlin family. The whole village had more than 60 households and more than 300 acres of paddy fields. In addition to farmers, there were hunters with guns who were responsible for providing organic food. and fresh game.
A white shuttle machine was parked in the middle of the village, and the villagers were in groups of three or four, loading baskets of autumn ripe persimmons, each of which was plump and as big as two fists. There is no label on the case, and it will never be sold outside.
"I just want to live in a place like this." Farosa sat on the hillside, looking at the rolling green mountains, "It's very quiet. Is the whole mountain the property of the Shenlin family?"
"Yes, go a little further to the north of the mountain, near Xianggen Mountain, and there is the castle tower of the Shenlin family. Long before they got mixed up with Noriko Honma, they were big landlords in the countryside."
"Honma Noriko sleeps for everyone."
"The Shenlin family is the first, and they are willing. This is the best way for them to join the corporate system." Xu Yang stood up, "All of this will be reshuffled on the day of the winter solstice."
"If Xisheng collapses," Faroza said, "the whole mountain will be ours."
"More than that," Xu Yang looked into the distance, "If the Xisheng Group collapses, there will be a total of seven islands in the northern archipelago, and you can go to each of them."
Faroza narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I can condescend to be queen of the seven islands," she said.
"Being tempted?" Xu Yang said, "But if you want to replace Xisheng, you must find a legitimacy for yourself."
"...just right to rule."
"Yes." Xu Yang nodded.
It is enough to have strength. Falosa wanted to say this, but she came to her senses again. Yes, power can indeed be used to shape legitimacy, but the premise is that she must be the most powerful in the world, otherwise, a rule based on violence must be Will be ended by greater violence.
"It's hard," Faroza said.
"Yeah, the ancient mystics tend to deny you," Xu Yang looked at Farosa, "it's because you have no legitimacy at all, and they definitely don't want a witch with an ordinary background to go up, so our forces The stronger it is, the more hostile the mystics will be. And most people, they will also think carefully and will not easily agree."
"Only companies have legitimacy," Faroza said.
"That's why we are still operating as a company, which is the most acceptable form of existence for people."
Faroza lay back on the hillside.
"It's so hard to start from scratch," she said. "Why are my parents mediocre villagers?"
"We have passed the most difficult stage." Xu Yang walked towards the village.
"Where are you going?"
"Find a place with a signal and see what everyone is doing."
"Come back." Faroza asked Xu Yang to lie beside her.
"what?"
"Let's go back at sunset." Faroza closed her eyes and took Xu Yang's hand, "Before then, we will dream together."
On the other side, Kambayashi Kuro confirmed the time of the wedding, just 2 days later.
The whole house was busy, with professional housekeepers coming and going, unpacking the newly arrived household robots, and letting the three-headed and six-armed gentlemen handle the ingredients for the wedding, and at the same time cleaning the whole house. All guests are provided with delicious food.
A food-delivery robot floats in the air, delivering huge food boxes to the wing room area, placing them squarely at the door, and building a total of 8 aluminum alloy lunch boxes.
After it left, 102 quickly poked his head out, looked around, picked up all 8 lunch boxes in one breath, turned and walked into the room.
"Dinner is ready!" She put the lunch box in the back room.
"Ah!"
"finally!"
The witches were very happy, and finally it was time to eat.
They gradually disliked this place, and when the initial novelty disappeared, they disliked the hard beds, the abundance of mosquitoes, the damaged ceiling, and the damp-proof walls of the old house, and gradually became less interested.
Only the meal time can make them smile again. Thanks to the work of a large number of senior chefs, the food provided on site is very rich, and it is provided six times a day, and additionally provides brunch, afternoon tea and supper.
"I don't want to eat, I want to go out." Du Qian changed his appearance and was about to run away.
"Where are you going?" 102 was curious.
"Horse riding." Du Qianqian wanted to experience novelty, "There is a horse farm nearby."
"You will definitely be kicked to death by the horse." 102 thought of Du Qianqian's unlucky physique.
"Ah—" Du Qianqian thought over and over again, firmly believing that this was just a disturbing superstition, "it won't be so unlucky every time."
After saying that, she left the wing room, ready to ride a horse.
"Can you eat? A robot?" 102 looked at A100, "A40 doesn't eat much."
"You can play and run related eating programs, but the running energy of the next is mainly from the battery, not food, so under normal circumstances, you don't eat much." A100 said.
Just as 102 was about to ask further questions, he received a message from Lila.
"Go put on the witch armor and prepare for battle."
"I am eating."
"This is an order."
"Okay..." 102 was forced to leave the dining table, and ran to find the armor and mask he had hidden in the box.
After she left, A100 lost his chat partner again, and stood by the wall with a knife in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, 101 also received a message from Lila.
"Take A100 and kill A40. Then take 102 to join the battle. Finally, take Master Xu Yang and Faroza to the scene." Lila sent a message.
"Get rid of A40?"
"It sneaked up the mountain with Yoshiyuki Hosoda and Reise Kirino. I don't want to see any of the three of them appear in the sight of the guests."
