Chapter 526 I will take good care of Xu Si
Su Su finally couldn't hold back her tears, and large drops fell onto Jiao Jiao's hair.
She is not a crybaby.
After the apocalypse, she lost almost all her relatives, leaving only Jiao Jiao and herself to depend on each other for survival.
Each time, I gritted my teeth and forced back my tears with red eyes.
She thought her tears had long since dried up, and that nothing in her life would ever make her cry again.
But Jiao Jiao came back.
The little girl she tried so hard to keep has returned.
Standing there lively and energetic in front of her, feeling the warmth and heartbeat in her arms, how could she resist?
Su Su sniffed and finally spoke, "Are you... feeling unwell anywhere? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
She feared that Jiao Jiao's recovery was only temporary, and that all the beauty before her was just a fleeting moment.
She feared that happiness was too much for her to hope for.
"Oh dear, Auntie!"
"Let's talk about it downstairs! Lots of people are watching."
At this time, many people were already standing on the city walls, inside the city gates, and on the rooftops of the streets.
Xiao Luo stood behind the crenellations of the city wall, waving vigorously at her with a big smile on his face.
Xiao Shi and Xiao He squeezed together in the open space in front of the school. Xiao He was holding a handful of wildflowers she had just picked from the experimental field, holding them high as if she were showing off a treasure.
DouDou hugged NiuNiu, tilted her head to look at her, her eyes full of tears.
The crow beside her perched on the battlements, its dark eyes fixed on Jiao Jiao and Xu Si, making low gurgling sounds in its throat.
Tashan stood at the very back of the crowd, arms crossed. His face, roughened by the apocalypse, was expressionless, but his eyes were clearly red.
When he saw Jiao Jiao looking over, his lips moved, but in the end he just said in a muffled voice, "It's good that you're back."
Jiao Jiao's nose tingled, and her eyes reddened again.
She took a deep sniff to suppress the sour taste, then raised her chin and gave a big smile.
Even Big Yellow was looking up at the sky. It didn't recognize Jiao Jiao, but judging from Xu Si's attitude, it knew that this girl was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, sensing the aura emanating from her, it seemed that it was not someone it could afford to offend.
"I'm back! I'm back!" Jiao Jiao declared, tears streaming down her face.
Xu Si's lips twitched.
……
When the three landed at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, Fu Xiaojian was already waiting there.
"Old Xu really is..." Fu Xiaojian stood at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, looking at the figure slowly descending from the sky, trying to find the right words.
"Forget it, I'm not looking anymore."
He abandoned the idea and went to meet them.
He didn't expect that after Xu Si dropped a few strange items to him and left in a hurry, he would actually bring Jiao Jiao back.
Su Su landed first, her eyes still red, but her emotions had calmed down considerably.
"Captain Fu!" Jiao Jiao followed behind her, but there was no joy in the reunion.
In her mind, this brush with death was probably equivalent to a good night's sleep.
But for Su Su and her friends, what they experienced was loss, a loss that could happen anytime soon.
No one expected that she could actually be resurrected, and even though she was right in front of them, it was still so unbelievable.
"It's good that you're back," he said, using the same words and even the same tone as Tashan.
"Su Su will show you around the city later. The motorcade will have a dinner party tonight, and there will definitely be something you like to eat."
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'm going to eat two big bowls tonight!"
Jiao Jiao patted her belly, but her gaze went past Fu Xiaojian's shoulder and landed on the lush green city behind him.
"That's... a vegetable garden?"
"Let Su Su take you to see the experimental field!" Fu Xiaojian corrected.
The first place that everyone who comes to the City of Fire checks in is always the Experimental Field and the World Tree. Whenever they have free time, they like to spend it there.
It's not just liking, it's rarity.
It was only in this lush greenery that they felt everything regained its meaning.
-
Su Su led Jiao Jiao across the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, along the newly paved stone path, towards the World Tree.
"This city was built by Tashan and his people. It wasn't this big before; it's just that the World Tree has grown larger and larger, so the city has also grown bigger and bigger!"
Su Su introduced things step by step, but her tone carried a long-lost sense of relaxation.
"I want to know what happened while I was away?" Jiao Jiao put away her smile and followed behind Su Su.
The two walked in silence for a short distance, with Su Su considering where to begin, as her knowledge was not comprehensive.
"You want to know about Xu Si, right?" Su Su asked.
Jiao Jiao blushed but did not refute.
"We don't actually know much!"
They knew nothing about how Xu Si advanced to Sequence Eight, how he obtained the World Tree, or how he resurrected Jiao Jiao.
However, Su Su still picked out the things she could talk about and told Jiao Jiao about them.
For example, the changes in the caravan members, the establishment of the city, the situation of the farms, plantations, and hunting teams in the city, and the current changes in Xiao Shi and Xiao He.
There is very little information about Xu Si.
There are some things that Xu Si doesn't say, and no one else will ever know.
"Is this Yi-yi?"
It wasn't until the two reached the World Tree and Su Su mentioned it that Jiao Jiao realized Yi Yi had become the World Tree.
As if in response to Jiao Jiao's question, a lush green leaf drifted down into Jiao Jiao's palm.
"You...I will take good care of Xu Si!"
Jiao Jiao solemnly accepted the leaf, and at the same time, she seemed to be able to sense the sentiment from the World Tree.
……
After Jiao Jiao left the city lord's mansion, Fu Xiaojian sat down with Xu Si again.
"From what we can see so far, the World Tree seems to have some suppressive effect on the supernatural. We haven't encountered any supernatural tides or high-level supernatural beings these days! However, the defenses in the city have never stopped!" Fu Xiaojian said.
"Besides, with Big Yellow out there clearing out those strange creatures every day, the hunting team has been quite free these days!"
"So, this should be considered a good thing!" Xu Si hadn't expected the World Tree to have this ability.
Indeed, the World Tree represents the will of the world, and as the will of the world deepens, the entire planet may change.
"Yes, the city has already planned to expand the planting area to cover the entire basin!" Fu Xiaojian said.
"Oh? The plantable area is already this large?" Xu Si hadn't noticed yet.
"We could have planted them a long time ago, but we didn't have enough people and seeds! However, because of the World Tree, plants bathed in it always grow exceptionally fast, so we don't lack seeds now."
"These past few days, Ya Ya has already sown some plant seeds in other places; it's still a bit slow for us to cultivate them ourselves!"
