167. Old housekeeper
167. Old housekeeper
In the eyes of Fifth Yue, Ade is cowardly and weak, and he is a high-end food. But to say that he is useless is not entirely true. At least when faced with difficulties during the day, he kept his promise and did not run away. This is a very good quality.
Fifth Yue thought about Ian's obsession with 5X, and she asked Ade to ask Evans if he needed to change his body, what requirements would he have for the new body.
Evans replied, "I like the game "Zerg" and I also believe that the Sun Star is real. If possible, I would like to become a spider, with many eyes, no blind spots, crawling very fast, and being able to pass through spiders." Silk captures prey..."
Fifth Yue: "..."
This guy must be a fan of Spider-Man! If you leave a man alone and want to turn into a spider, what will happen to his wife and children?
Ian couldn't help but glance at Evans, but what he was thinking was, what about a hairy spider? Leopard spots? Or zebra stripes? If he wants to continue using the computer, five pairs of legs should be enough!
Seeing that Wu Yue and Ian were both in a daze, Ade had no choice but to tell Evans, "The cooperation between us and the empire is not over yet. We will give you an answer before leaving." To Amy , he said this, "You let Little Xingxing know another side of Aquamarine Star, and you also received her gift."
"Whether it is you or Wang Shuyu, there is no difference in our eyes. We will reserve our attitude towards you for the time being. After today, if you still bring people to visit, please say hello to Lin Shen in advance..."
After seeing off Evans and Amy, Fifth Yue suddenly said: "Ad, come with me to a place."
Ade is unwilling. He suspects that there is something wrong with Wuyue's strength, so he needs his company. But there are orcs on Aquamarine, which is too dangerous for him... But he dare not say that he is unwilling, what if the queen swallows him to prove her strength!
"Queen, where are we going? Don't take me to fight the orcs alone. I'm afraid of being accidentally injured..." Ade cautiously tried.
"Before Constantine died, he asked me to visit the manor he had guarded all his life. I agreed, but I never went."
Wuyue has been very careful since she fell into a mental sleep. Even if I go out with Amy, I am willing to be packed in the luggage bag. After learning that the people lurking in Aquamarine were Orcs, she felt that she was okay again, and it was no big deal to go to the Western Federation...
Aquamarine is her hometown, but she has never been to the Western Federation. No one took her there when she was a child, and as an adult she didn't go for various reasons. Seeing that she was about to leave Aquamarine Star, she wanted to go over and have a look...
When he heard that he was going to Constantine's old house, Ade was no longer afraid and kindly asked Ian, "Do you want to come with us?"
Ian wanted to say no, since he couldn't go back in time, why bother revisiting his old place. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded unexpectedly.
Ad led them across the sea to the other end of Aquamarine Star. Through thick clouds, they searched for a long time before finding Ian's old house.
The total population of the Federation is only one-fifth of the empire, and Ian's old house is located in a small town... When they landed, they barely disturbed anyone.
Ade transformed into an old man with white hair and red face, holding a black crutch, and the fifth moon pretended to be an ornament on the crutch.
Ian was still the same, but he was forced to change into children's clothes before going out, which made him and Ade look very much like grandparents.
Fifth Yue looked at the villas one after another in the distance and asked, "Where is your home?"
Ian stood there in a daze for a while before saying, "This used to be a pine forest, and I like to bring nuts in to feed the squirrels. Every year before Christmas, my father would take my mother and me here to look for the most beautiful pine trees... "
Fifth Yue glanced at the unremarkable mounds and comforted: "Plants have grown in the mountains around the Negative Zero Base. If there is no accident, in two or three years, this place will become a pine forest. If you like Christmas trees, I asked Lin Shen to get one for you to plant in the daytime."
"I want you to take me to find it. It must be the most beautiful one in the pine forest."
Fifth Yue: "..."
Are you acting coquettishly with me because of the excessive emotional ups and downs? Okay, it's just a tree. At worst, I'll have to come back.
"Okay!" After hearing Fifth Yue's promise, Ian was finally willing to leave.
Ade followed Ian and kept moving forward along the winding road. Occasionally, he could see someone in the villa not far away peeking at them.
"Are everyone here like this? I feel that many people have weapons in their hands."
Public security in the Federation has always been poor, and everyone must learn to protect their homes and property... The civilization here is completely different from the empire.
Ian: "There is only one university here and no businesses. The residents here cultivate plants and domesticate animals at home to meet their daily needs. They can survive without the need for state assistance."
Ade lamented: The same planet has different cultures and living habits due to different regions. This makes me feel like going to Rino...
They followed Ian for about twenty minutes, and a manor appeared in front of them.
The manor is very large, and the area where the lawn used to be has been paved with cobblestones. Because it had not been taken care of for a long time, the cobblestone ground was uneven, with dark green moss faintly visible in the potholes.
Fifth Yue's eyes were quickly attracted to the exterior wall of the manor. She saw that the three-story exterior wall was covered with plants and roses were in full bloom.
Seeing someone stopping at the gate of the manor, a young man opened the door and came out. He first nodded towards Ade, then looked at Ian carefully, and asked, "Are you here to see the flowers too?"
Ade said: "An old friend insisted on letting me come over and take a look. I don't know why, but now I understand a little bit." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the roses on the outer wall.
The young man smiled thoughtfully and asked, "Do you know the housekeeper too?"
"Butler? I prefer to call him Constantine. He is not only a butler, but also a great poet."
The young man nodded in agreement, "When he said that the outer wall should be covered with ivy and flowers as before, I thought he was crazy... The whole world has fallen because of death mold, why should this place be an exception?"
"He smiled and didn't answer. He just went to the city more and more frequently and kept carrying materials here. In the following days, he began to learn how to make artificial flowers and how to keep the artificial plants beautiful under the erosion of rain and snow. "
"It took about a whole year for him to let the artificial flowers climb all over the first floor. The children nearby saw them and came to pull a few flowers when they had nothing to do. Within a month, the artificial flowers were gone. I thought he He would be discouraged, but unexpectedly he didn’t give up at all, and spent another half a year to make the outer walls of the first and second floors covered with artificial flowers.”
"I bet with my classmates on how long the artificial flowers can last this time. I said up to three months. But my classmates said that this time they can last for a long time... I lost. My classmates were right. Human beings are very interested in beauty and beauty. The pursuit of life is eternal.”
